over the country will confer tomor-
row morning at the willard Hotel,
to draft a plan whereby manufact-

means of distributing them. The
fact that these pictures have not
found favor. because of lack of ef-

LONDDN, April Sit Is very
difficult to see that any good will
come out OF the Genoa conference.
Given goodwill and common sense
on the part of the chief govern
ments concerned. the conference
might have been a turning point in
the worlds history, and more i'm
portant than the Washington con-
ference because II Is dealing with
wider and more urgent problems.

rope to put her house In order. to

which are still poisoning the worlds
health. preventing all chance of re-
covery.
AS conceived in the brain of Lloyd
George it was designed as a con-
ference of nations. meeting for the
first time on equal terms since the
war In order to dig a secure founda-
tion of peace for the next genera
ton; and TO reshape, In a scientific
way from which hatred and pas

powers so that there should be a re-

PAID $z3,60s.z6 FOR BOUNTY
Heaviest Payments Made In 1917
Record Shows

During the fourteen years from
1908 to 1922, Dickinson county has
paid $23,6O5.26 in bounties on
gophers and wolf scalps. Probably
5000 of that amount would cover
the payments on wolf scalps, accord
ing to H. w. King, county clerk,
and the rest represents bounties on
gophers. =
The largest amount for one year
was paid in 1917 when the total
was $3,409,44 and the smallest,
amount was In 1910 when only
$43Q.33 was paid out. The small
amount In 1910 Is due to the fact
that beginning that year the bounty
on g6phers was reduced to 5 cents.
In 1914 it was raised again to 10
cents and continued the same until
April / of this year when bounties
were discontinued. j

ABILENE HAS
Nine MONTHS
COAL ON HAND
Strike Will Not Affect
Kansas Towns for
Some ime
GAssociated Pressl

Topeka, April 5.-According to a
survey made by the Industrial court
Abilene has enough coal on hand to
last nine months, Clay Center four
months, Salina one month, Wichita
three months, Topeka one and a half
months. The survey on coal was
begun by the industrial court before
its order on mine operations In the
state was issued. Many Of the re-
ports, however, were not received
before the court hearing last week.
Governor Allen has stated that no
community in the state will be al
lowed to suffer for coal, should the
strike be prolon ged.
The state as whole has a supply
of coal that will last approximately
so days, the summary shows, with
many towns reporting supplies suf-
ficient to last from four to nine
months.
The reports on the coal supplies
Of the various communities were re-
ceived in answer to a general inquiry
sent out by the industrial court.
More than 100 towns returned re-
ports. The reports were compiled
by the officials Of the towns or by
representatives Of the state employ
ment bureau, after personal inquir-
les had been made Of local dealers
The state institutions are among
the best supplied units in the state,

ger James A. Kimball, shows. Re-
ports of the five largest educational

COUNTY WILL NOT PAY
Probably No Free Tuition Can BE
Collected For High School

Probably No Free Tuition Can be
Collected For High School
The Abilene high school and other
high schools Of the county that were
counting ON getting 81 a week tuition
for each pupil from outside the dis
trict paid from the county treasury
are likely to be disappointed. The
county commissioners have refused
to pay the Abilene bill which
amounts to about $4,000 and the
parents Of the pupils will be called
on for tuition. The new law In one
section provides that such payment
applies to "all high schools" but the
attorney general thinks that it was
really intended as an amendment to
the Barnes law which does not apply
to this county. Fact Is the legis-
lature bungled the law so that no
body really knows what it meant to
do-if it did itself. Anyhow the
probabilities are that there will be
no test in the courts and that the
high schools will accept the situa-
ton as it now stands. Partly the
decision depends on the ruling Of the
supreme court the other day when
John Oberhelman, formerly Of Abb
lene, lost his suit to compel the To-
peka school to accept his daughter as
pupil though he lived in another
district where there is rural high
school.
