SURVEY OF THE STATE
May Result In Law Requiring In
spection Of T,hreshers


A survey that may result in a
state law requiring the inspection
Of all threshing machines by the
state or by the state threshermen's 3
association, is under way, directed
by Secretary J. G. Mohler Of the
State Board of Agriculture, he an
nOunced today. Inquiries on the pro-
position have been sent out to Off
cials Of the threshermen's association
as well as to agricultural experts
and officials.
The purpose Of the survey, accord
ing to Secretary Mohler. Is to ascer-
tain whether 1t is advisable to have
some form of compulsory inspection
Of threshing machines before they
enter the threshing season. This
plan was followed during the war
under federal statutes, but since the
war has been discontinued. 1t was
found during this period that the in
spection work is advisable, reports
of federal officials declared.
The purpose Of the inspection
would be to guarantee to the farm
er that he is to get the maximum
amount Of grain from his crop.

Tourists From. An Dirsctioas Meet
q Ab1lene

l0uftsts frOm. AL D1roCtbou9 MEEK
at Ab6lene
A motor car from Washington
state met one from Indiana and one
from Florida passed one from Call
fornia on North Buckeye this after
noon. These were samples Of the
cosmopolitan touring crowd that
moves through the city. More out
of-state tags are seen than ever In
the towns history and the camp
ground at the park is well popu-
lated.
Among those who stopped in town
were four girls In Ford, enroute to
California. In the party were the
Misses Glenna Griggs, and Jeanette
Van Toul, teachers; Miss Lea May
Miller, nurse; and Miss Velma Clark,
doctor. They have come from
Galesburg, H., having been on the
road for Ave days. They expect to
be In California on July 5, taking
the southern route. On their return
they will travel the northern route.
Three Of the girls have been students
at Rockford college. They own the
car In which they are travelling,
having purchased 1t jointly. 1t Is
completely equipped with the neces-
stiles for camping and is made into
very comfortable affair.
Some touring cars have liveried
chauffeurs and some are nivvers and
so loaded with camp stun, bed
springs and children that the onlook-
er wonders how on earth they do 1t.

liousss Were Flooded When Pipes
Burst-Wster Conditions
The town had n night Of high
blood pleasure, or water pressure
rather, when the booster pump which
puts on pressure for fires was left
running all night. In the residence
OF H. J. Hodge pipes were burst and
the whole east side Of the house
flooded. soaking or ceilings, damag-
ing furniture, etc. In II. ID. Focht's
residence damage was also done. The
city disclaims all responsibility for
the affair and a statement from the
water office gave this explanation:
The Orphanage has a reservoir which
it fills with booster pump and
when 1t runs 1t sucks the water out
Of the mains In the north part OF
town so that residents complain Of
no water. 1t was ordered that the
pump run only at night. Thursday
night there was a small fire and the
fire pressure was on for that. It Is
stated that some one gave orders to
leaye Une uOWutOWh uooSteE pump
running, to maintain uptown pres
sure, though the city clerk says that
it did not come from the water office.
As a result the fire pressure was on
all night.
Complaint has been made Of the
condition OF the city water In the
past few days. This explanation 10
furnished by the city: Three weeks
ago the standpipe ON West Second
was cleaned and painted on the in
side, when 1t was hlled with water
and through some misunderstanding
the water was left In 1t without u.s.
ing for q week or two. When 1t
went through the mains it was stale
and unattractive. When complaints
were made the standpipe vas
pumped to overhowing, taking OF
the stagnant water and the mains
were flushed at the extreme ends,
thus cleaning out the system and
the normal condition Of water has
been reRained.

IS REAL SCHOOL MAN
Jess MiIey es Fine Record Was visl
tor @ City

Il
ter 70 City
Jess w. Miley, who is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for state superintendent Of public in
struction In Kansas, was visitor In
town on his way home from Hays
where he attended a meeting Of OIL.
GERS of the State Teachers Associa-
tion Of which he is president. Mr..
Miley Is one Of the veteran county
superintendents Of the state, al
though q good many years short of
the 50-mark. He was elected c0un-
ty superintendent Of Crawford c0un-
ty In 1910 and has been reelected
every two yearse since, part Of the
time without opposition, never with
opposition in his own party.
For several years prior to his elec-
tion as county superintendent Miley
was head Of the schools Of Chicopee,
the liveliest coal camp and one Of
the largest In the Kansas coal fields.
The Chicopee schools became famed
for their thoroughness. There were
six hundred pupils in the schools.
From these schools while Miley was
in charge, ifty.twO graduates went
out to become teachers.
Taking charge Of the larger office,
Miley found q hard task confronting
him. The large foreign population
Of the coal fields presented 4 pro.
blem in school administration. But
Miley tackled the job earnestly and
built up teaching stats In the larger
and more difficult districts Of the
county that have made schools that
compare very favorably with the
graded schools Of large cities.
Throughout the county, Miley has
insisted that Americanism be i'm
pressed upon the pupils and through
the pupils foreigners have been
reached and been taught the ideals
of America.
In probably no other county of
the state Is the job Of county super.
intendent more difficult or more i'm.
portant than in Crawford.
Miley has been q leader In the
Kansas State Teachers Association.
He now is president Of the associa-
tion, an honor that school men con-
slider as worth while as the state SUI
perintendency. His platform Is
work for the upbiulding Of
the schools Of the state and allow
the courts and the law to look after
statutes. Kansas schools need just
such superintendent, one who will
pay attention to the jOb-and Miley
Is that kind, a man without fads
and who gets results.

Thieves Have . ScAssss That Lets
~ Family Sssrs
A farmer IN north Dickinson
county this week lost 500 chickens
from his hen house and other rob-
berries have been reported. The
chicken thieves work all the time
and have a real system according to
the officers. They have q gas reccp-
tacle that they utilize, letting the
gas into the hen house. The effect
is that the biddies become uncon-
scious and fall OF the roost. Then
the fowls are gathered in sacks.
dumped into waiting motor cars and
by morning the thieves are fifty
miles away. The family and the
faithful watch dog have been un-
aware Of what happened-or If old
Towsor was at all excited he proba-
bly, got q dose Of gas also.
The officers frankly say that the
chicken thief nuisance Is a hard one
with which to deal as the damage Is
all done before information can be
secured and the thieves are scores
Of miles away. Perhaps few shot
guns set to rake the doors Of the
chicken house might help or a bear
tran would have q fine effect-but
none has tried that.
