TO AID HOG INDUSTRY
Kansas Bankers Take Up Plan
Favored by Secretary Mohler.

ny
A plan to rehabilitate the hog rails
ing industry in Kansas by banks
furnishing brood sows to the farm ers
is favored by j. c. Mohler. secretary
of the state board of agriculture.
Secretary Mohier is in receipt of a
letter from a banker at Kirwin, Kan,
who states Phillips county banks are
planning to furnish from 500 to 1000
sows to farmers this spring. 1t is
proposed for the banks to buy the
hogs together as cheaply as possible
and then sell them at cost. with a
chattel mortgage on the animals for
security.
Our banks are able to handle such
a deal" the Kirwin banker writes.
We have all kinds of corn. Lots of
farmers will take to such a deal be-
cause we are fostering it. 1t gives US
a chance to do definite service. We
would be able to get the sows cheaper
than the individual farmers "
This is an excellent idea" said
Secretary Mohler. THE board hopes
the plan will be used in other coun-
ties. 1t should be effective in putting
the hog industry back on a strong
basis in Kansas"

thru fighting when their own election
was over. So they merely came over
to help the men a bit.
There is a movement on foot among
several men to declare for equal rights
and ask permission to hold their own

support in several sources and 1t is
likely that a meeting will be called and

Chief WATSON PRAISES
FIREMEN'S RESCUE WORK
Head, in Command of
Forces at Knickerbocker, Thanks
All Who Gave Assistance.

Chief George Watson Of the District
fire department. who, because of his
position. was practically in charge of
the rescue work at the Knickerbocker
Theater, said today it would be difficult
for him properly to express his appre-
cSadon Of the men under his command
and thanked all of those who were en-
ragged in the rescue work at the seat of
the disaster.
In q report to the Commissioners,
Chief Watson took the opportunity to
praise the men under him and in q
most detailed manner described their
participation in the relief and rescue
work from the time of the first alarm.
which he placed at 9:09 pm. Saturday
night. up to the present time.
Chief Watson reports that he hid
twenty-five pieces of fire apparatus at
the firSt alarm. and withheld very few
engines and other apparatus for re-
serve work. The danger of this, he
said. was illustrated later In the
night, when three alarms Of fire were
sounded In quick succession. and it
WAS thought for awhile it might be
necessary to call on some of the ap-
paratus which at that time was at
the kRickerbocker Theater. He said
that this fortunately was not neces-
,sary:
Chief Watson reported that consid-
erable damage was done to his ap-
paratus and that 1t will take q little
outlay Of money to pay for the neces-
sary repair work to be done.
Commissioner Oyster said he had
occasion to be with Chief Watson a
greater part of Saturday night, and
that he considered him an exceptional
man. The Commissioner commended
him not only for his efficiency. but
also for his GOODNESS and his courtesy.

KNICKERBOCKER PIANIST
WAS KILLED INSTANTLY
Mrs. aenivieve Mirskey Thought to
Have Looked Toward Ceiling
as Crash Came.

Mrs. r. Genivieve Wilson Mirskey,
wife Of N. Mirskey, conductor of the
Metropolitan symphony Orchestra.
Theater since last August. when she
came to Washington. was instantly
killed when the roof of the theater
crashed. She. with other members OF
the orchestra. was playing for a
comedy picture at the time of the
disaster and was buried beneath the
steel girders and masonry that felt
into the orchestra pit. An al1-night
search by her husband and relatives
failed to locate her. and 1t WAS not
until ~ O'Clock Sunday that the body
was identified rs that of Mrs. Mirskey
at the Christian Science Church,
where it had been taken.
The upper part Of the body was
manned. which gives rise to the be-
Lief that Mrs. Mtrskey looked toward
the ceiling just as the crash came,
although it had been reported she
was instantly demolished, by the
falling roof.
Mrs. Mirskey, who was Miss Gem
ivteve Wilson. was born in Dubois.
Pa. about twenty-six years ago.
She was graduated from the Villa
Pa. and was considered by her
| many friends In Pennsylvania and
the great number she had made here
during her short stay as an accom-
plished pianist. She was married
to Mr.. Mirskey five years ago this
| month. having met him when he
| conducted an orchestra in Dubois.
Mrs Mirskey held the position of
pianist in that orchestra, and made
several tours with the organization.
Her mother. Mrs. c. W. Wilson.
with the exception OF Mr.. Mirskey, is
the only survivor. The body ie at
present in the undertaking estab-
1ishment of Harry l.. Slye. $40 r

| morrow morning, when 1t will be
taken to Rimersburg, Pa, for inter-
ment.
