SHOULD HAVE BUMPER CROPS
Kansas Corn Should Have Fine
Yield This Year

Yield This Year
Kansas should have bumper corn
crop this season as well as a large
wheat crop. This fact is shown by
the monthly and weekly crop reports
Of the State Board Of Agriculture,
which indicate that the corn acreage
In the state Is among the largest In
history, exceeded in recent years
only by the crop of 1920. The esH-
mated acreage this year Is 4.775,OOO
while In 1920 1t was 5,137,32S. The
estimated acreage Is 8 per cent larg-
FER than last year.
Although too early to obtain defin-
tie information as to the probable
yield of com and the condition, the
weekly report of the Board Of Agri-
culture states that fields where the
crop Is up show good stand and
that very little. replantng will be
necessary. It Is estimated thai
slightly over 80 per cent Of the !croI
has now been planted. Corn plant
| ing has been greatly delayed by
continued rains.

TALKING OVER REPAIRS
May Order Covering Of Pavement BY
Passing Resolution

The city commissioners devoted
Mondays session to discussion Of re-
pairs Of the pavement in the down
town district. Various plans have
been proposed and the decision was
not made. It is now likely that the
repairs will be made by resolution
instead of calling a city election
making the property Of the district
bay the cost. The favored plan Is
to cover the old base with new
asphalt.

ODD CLUES LED TO ARREST OF
 MURDERER

AKRON, O., Dec. 23.-A crippled little finger and friendship for g motherly landlady led to the arrest of Fred Mcbride, former Akron boy sentenced recently to life imprison. ment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for murder. m4s
 Mcbride was captured by Detective Stephen McGowan and Sergeant Sam Williams on farm near Kent, Ohio fifteen miles north of Akron, follow. ing peculiar series of events.
 Slew Companion
 Mcbride killed Eddy Thielen near Milwaukee in December, 1919. The two were riding at dusk in Thie- lens auto. When at the city limits Mcbride drew a revolver and fired bullet through his companions head. He then stripped the body and buried it at the edge of a stream, returned home and in formed Thielen's mother that her son had gone to California, after au- thorizing Mcbride to sell the car
 Mcbride fled in the car, but one of his sweethearts upset his plans for hiding. He returned to Akron and sent this girl, at East Troy, Wisconsin, a telegram signed with fictitious name, announcing that one Fred Mcbride had been killed here in an accident. The girl, sus- picinus, notified Akron police, who arrested Mcbride and had him fined in municipal court for making false report concerning himself. Then he went free, no information having been received here regarding the Wisconsin murder. ..
 Deceived Girl
 His continued unfaithfulness fur ther angered his Wisconsin sweet heart, and she tipped off Milwaukee police as to his whereabouts. They in turn communicated with Akron authorities.
 In the meantime Mcbride paid a farewell visit to his kindly landlady to tell her he was going away for ever to California, he said. With the best motives she asked him where he was working, and he told her he was employed on farm near Kent. There the police found him, his identification being made com plete through his crippled finger, which his landlady mentioned in all innocence when she was asked con corning her former favorite roomer.
 When the police came on Mcbride on the farm he was chopping wood, the officers noticed the crippled finger gripped around the handle Of the axe.

A real panacea for nervous all ments so prevalent amongst World War veterans is being practiced with much success by Dr. Edward W. LazelI of the Veterans Bureau here, according to admission that a secret method of treating goitre is in vogue. ..-
 Synthetic psychology" is respons- ible for the cure of 57 cases of this neurotic affIiction, it is reported.
 Goitre, according to physicians at the Veterans Bureau, is the result of a nervous condition caused by anxiety. The World War, with it's high nervous tension, produced large number of goitre victims amongst returned soldiers.
 Because it is feared that "unscru- pulous practitioners" might sel=e upon the discovery to defraud the unvary, the formula, of "syntheic psychology will be kept secret, although it was admitted that the treatment was con, fined to lecture courses that con tain material gathered during years of studying and which material is based upon scientific finding.

It is almost certain that the Colo rado Rangers-state police-will cease to function even before Gov ernor-eIect Sweet takes office. The governor-elect made the Rangers one of his leading issues in the cam paign, accusing them of suspending the constitutional rights of citizens and charging that the Rangers SUD- pressed mass meetings of organized labor leaders in the coal fields. The existing law provides only for pay ment of the Rangers to the present month, and many members of the state constabulary have already re- signed because of the prospect that no appropriation could be made by the state administration for their December salaries.
