OH TOMMY. ToMMYi
Why Did You Work Us on Your
Champ Record2

The wonderful Tommy Ryan who
two weeks ago occupied the Pres
byterian church pulpit, talked in high
school chapel and then gathered In
considerable coin giving an evening
lecture on his record as a champion
prize fighter seems to have abused
the confidence of this village. But
there were others. The Kansas City
Star gave him column story, hail
ing him as one of the wonders Of the
age. The Star Of Saturday has this
editorial apology:
"The unhappy part of the narra-
tive Is that II rested on misstate-
ment Of facts growing out of mis-
taken identity. The Star finds that
the hero Of the story is not Tommy
Ryan, the former middle weight
champion. The eX-champiOn is not
73 years old; he is 80 and he Is liv-
ing in Des Moines. The Star. with
all of the real Tommy Ryan's
friends, regrets that it has unwit-
tingly helped to give currency to
this wrong Identification"
Such is life in the war west. 1t Is
not the first time and probably will
not be the last.

New fleans Traffic Figures Raised
SsNx RuIletiu to Local Mills

Traffic managers for the locai
flour mills have received within the
past few days the latest tarin from
the Kansas City Southern Hallway
announcing that the rate Of ship
lment for domestic wheat and wheat
products from Kansas City to New
Orleans is to be changed from thirty
three cents to forty flour cents wheat
basis, effective on April l. THIS
change according to the tarin pup
lished by the railroad, is in accord
anee with decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, MADE
ON Nov. IS, 1921. one traffic man
ager has received tariff from the
st. Louis and San Francisco Raiiroau
announcing also thai the rates Oh
that road will be changed from thir-
ty-three to forty four cents ON Aprii
1, but thus far no other RAILROADS.
have reported the rise in rates.
Trouble with the shipping rates
between Kansas City and New Of-
leans, has been brewing for over d
year, the local shippers say, ana al
though Tie CudhSC WIN Ao'
ately affect shipments from Abilene
to New Orleans, it will later, If 1t Is
allowed to continue. The point at
issue is that the railroads have raised
the shipping rate to intermediate
points between Kansas City and the
gulf port, New Orleans, instead OF
lowering the rate to New Orleans to
compare equally with the rate to in
termediate points, along the route.
Local traffic men do not seem to
think that the rise will be effective
, for long as in their belief shippers in
general will not stand for an in
crease Of thirty-tive per cent which
the published rate would mean.
The newly published freight rates
were discussed pro and con, at a
meeting of millers in Wichita last
week, and by a unanimous decision
It was voted that no change should
be made in the application of the
freight rates on grain out OF transit
or storage points covering the ton
mage moving into points. The pres
ent tariff rules that the rate at the
starting point shall prevail to the
destination of the grain shipped, ana
this the mill traffic men voted to up
hold when they voted no change
should be made.

BUICK CAR is STOLEN
Thief Picked Bad Night to Take
Machine From Herington

V. w. Huffman notified Sheriff
Sherman that his Buick car, 1922
model, was stolen from in front OF
his home at HeringtOn Monday
night. The car was taken about .
o'clock. Mrs. Huffman who was In
the house heard the engine start
but thinking 1t was her husband us
ing the car, paid no attention. 1t
was but short time later that they
discovered the loss.
Cards were mailed by the sheriff
to authorities all over Kansas, Civ
ing a description of the automobile
and it is probable that because OF
the condition Of the roads there will
be little difficulty in apprehending
the thief and recovering the car.
An Abilene man who started to
drive home from Herington Monday
night was obliged to stop at Navarro
