CATTLE MOVEMENT is OFF
Railroads VIII Not Bring Usual Num-
Der to Kansas This Year.

Reports received here by railroad
and agricultural officials, as well as
results of United States department of
agriculture surveys, indicate that
there will be a decrease in the number
of cattle grazed in Kansas this year.
Among the causes attributed to the
tendency for decreased grazing activ-
tiles are the continued high freight
rates and the unfavorab1e agricultural
conditions of the last year as well as
market conditions
Many of the Kansas cattlemen have
been holding off for a. decline in
freight rates. according to officials
here 1t was expected that special
rates requested of the interstate com
merce commission by agricultural Of
ficials for cattle shipped from the
southwest would be granted, but has
not come about and many grazers
given up shipments on this account, it
is said.
Fewer Texas owners are expected to
Craze their own cattle in Kansas this
year. A large part of the cattle will
come from Texas. however, having
been purchased by cattlemen from
other states. Very few cows will be
grazed as owners are able to borrow
money on them and are holding the
animals for breeding purposes. Of
ficials of one railroad line that hauls
many cattle from the southwest for
grazing each year, report that the
road will be short 1000 cars this
season.
Owners of Kansas grass lands have
leased about all their pastures for the
season according to federal reports.
Most of the steer pastures in Green
wood, Chase, Wabaunsee and Butler
counties have been leased at So to
1915 q head for the season, aItho
leases at 50 are not uncommon. Prices
for pasture average $3.50 to $3.50
lower than a year ago and show a de-
cline of about 81 since 1920. Much of
the pasture costing $3.50 to $3.50
this season was leased a year ago at
$40 to $12 and during 1919, when
pasture rentals were highest. the same
pastures cost SIS to $40. Some pas
ture for COWS have been leased at
Sc to 81 a head for the season

READY FOR COUNT
Santa Fe Hospital Election To
Be Decided Next Week.
All Ballots Must Be in by
Monday Night.

The result of the Santa Fe Hospital
association election should be known
some time next week. The Ballots for
the election of two employe members
of the board of trustees were sent
out with pay checks April Is and the
employees have thirty days in which
to vote and return the ballots to e.
L. Copeland. secretary of the associa-
ton. While it has not been definitely
determined, any ballots received after
midnight Monday night probably will
not be counted.
With the Gulf and Coast lines main
tanning a separate hospital association
it is estimated that approximately 49,
600 employees are eligible to take part
in the election. 1t is known, however,
that many of them will not vote as not
more than twenty thousand ballots
have yet been returned. Stamped en-
velopes, bearing Mr.. Copeland's ad-
dress, were sent out with the ballots.
In some cases they are coming back
empty and one employe returned a
large number of the envelopes in a
package saying he thought the asso-
citation might be able to use the
postage.
There are five candidates in the
field. They are Frank J. Addie, of
Topeka, nominated by the Switch

CANTALOUPES TO START JUNE |
Rock Island Making Plans to Handle
10000 Carloads This Year

The cantaloupe production in the
imperial Valley will bring back to
the Rock Island at least a. mart of the
business it lost when a hard freeze
seriously damaged and cut short the
California citrus fruit crop.
According to an official the Rock
Island is making plans to transport at
least $4,000 carloads of cantaIouDes
from the Imperial Valley this yea
Which will be an increase of about
1000 carloads over last year
Unless weather conditions should
suddenly change the cantaloupe crop
VIII De larger than usual this sea-
son, and marketing is expected to
start about the first of June. The
Rock Island will handle them in solid
tralnloads. and as practically all of
them will pass thru Topeka, it means
a Dig demand for ice here and prob
ably an extra icing crew.

Passenger officials of all the To-
peka railroads are highly pleased oyer
the prospects for increased travel as
the result of the new summer tour

Is. Numerous inquiries concerning
rates, reservations, stopovers and at
the officials say. and all of the roads
are expecting that extra equipment
will be necessary to handle the rush.
AS compared with the past few
years, the prospects for an increase
in tourists travel this year is highly
encouraging to the traffic depart
mentS. Not only have the rates been
reduced materially, the reduction in
most cases amounting to approx
mately 20 per cent, but the railroad
men say there are more attractions
this year than usual to induce the
public to travel.
The Rotary and Shrine conventions
in California will serve to start the
tourist travel off at a high clip Sew
eral hundred special trains will be
necessary to handle the rush at that
time and there are other gatherings
in the west this summer that will at
tract considerable attention. Several
points in California are preparing to

SOLONS AT FAULT
NOT GOV. HARDWICK
Georgia Executive Did His Best To
Put Through Program Which He
Recommended to Legislature

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 24th-Gov-
ernor Hardwick will not call an extra
session of the Legislature because of
the failure of the state auditor bill to
pass the senate on the last night of the
session, he reiterated today.
The governor stated that the failure
of the auditor bill was serious blow
at his efforts to place the fiscal affairs
of the state on sound basis, and of
course he was disappointed but he did
not believe this bill alone would justi-
ty him in summoning an extra session.
He expressed the hope the bill would
pass next year.
AS to the bill appropriating $1,1OO,-
900 to Confederate pensions and the
deficiency appropriation bills aggregat-
ing more than 100000, Governor
Hardwick stated that he would care
fully ascertain the exact present status
of the states finances and the pros
pectlve revenue the balance of the
year and next year, before taking ac-
ton on any of the appropriation bills.
Undoubtedly Gov. Hardwick, close
observers here point out; did all in his
power to accomplish necessary econ
omies to the state governor, and ap-
parently it was the fault of the legisla-
ture entirely they did not carry out
his full program. He was a strong ad-
vocate of the biennial sessions bill,
but the lawmaking body failed in the
last hours of the session to put it on
the statute books.
1t will be recalled that Governor
Hardwick recommended in his message
to the legislature the removal of use
less State employees, and many law
makers say he did his durndest along
this line" The legislature however,
faild to see it the governors way. He
is given full credit here for his efforts
and if kept in office, even unpredju-
diced observers admit, he will put thru
a really creditable administration.
Business men from various sections
of the State who have called on Gov.
Hardwick since the legislature adjourn
ed have congratulated him on his de-
termination to inaugurate a "Pay-as-
you-go" policy for the state, although
they recognize the fact that the state
was pretty much in a hole financially
when the governor went into office.
