The express business is a good
barometer of trade, according to A.
e. Martin, agent in charge OF the
local express office, who declares 1t
is significant that the American Rail-
way Express Company, which
handles all the country's express
business, is preparing for a heavy
movement Of express traffic during
the remainder Of this month and
April.
"FIuctuation in the express bust
ness" says Mr.. Martin, usually pre-
cedes like changes in general pusl-
ness by several weeks. The express
people are confident that business
resumption is near at hand. At their
New York office, it is stated that an
unusual number of buyers have Wis
tied New York City recently and
that many concerns have a full corps
of travelling statesmen on the road.

J.Ff.. RODNEY PASSED AWAY
Former Abilene Resident Died at
Kansas City After Short Illness

j. l.. Rodney, formerly or TINS
city, died at 11:15 Friday night at
his home in Kansas City, after a
few days illness resulting from In
fiuenza. He was In Abilene two
weeks ago in apparent good health,
Mr.. Rodney was aged about 45 years
and leaves wife and one daughter,
Myrrl, a student at the Emerson
school in Boston. 1t is probable that
the burial will be at Wellington, the
former home of the family, where Is
buried a son passed away in infancy.
j. +. Rodney, a brother, and family,
and 4. l.. Welsh, partner IN the
Abilene Flour Mills Co., and Mrs.
Welsh, of this city went to Kansas
City today.
Mr.. Rodney was forceful busi-
ness man and had large milling in
terests In Kansas City, and IN towns
Of Kansas and Missouri; recently he
purchased a $25O,000 ranch in Col
Orado. With associates he rebuilt
the Abilene Flour Mills here and
made the plant one Of the most COM
plete and profitable in the state. He
moved to Kansas City two years ago
because of his growing interests
there, leaving Mr.. Welsh in charge
of the Abilene mill. His kindliness
and his love to family and friends
won him wide respect and esteem
and a host of friends here will ex-
tend sympathy to the sorrowing rela-
tives.
Funeral services for John L. Rod
ney, aged 81, who died at Kansas
City Friday night were held at the
home there Monday afternoon; bur
ial at Wellington, the former home
of the family. Miss Myrrl. the
daughter, arrived from Boston Sun
day evening.
As a young man Mr.. Rodney was
a -four salesman in the Southwest
In 1914 he purchased the Abilene
Flour Mills Company, and three
years later purchased a mill at War
rensburg, Mo. In 1920 they were
consolidated with the SeabOard Null
ing Company under the name Of the
Rodney Milling Company, capital
lied at one million dollars, the fam
lily moving from Abilene to Kansas
City.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs

SOME STATES HAVE SEED LAWS
And Kansas Is Dumping Ground For
Poor Seeds

The four states surrounding Kan
sas have pure seed laws and Kansas
will be the dumping ground for poor
seed until she has such q law MIS-
f.. =. Harling, seed analyst at the
Kansas state Agricultural College
at Manhattan believes.
"Sccd firms can almost sell
screenings MS pure seed In Kansas
and get away with it,"-Mrs. Harling
states. Hundreds Of purity records
show how many Of our worst weeds
started in this state. termination
records indicate that farmers have
lost thousands OF dollars by sowing
seed low in vitality"
Most of the authorizations or I'M
purities are found in alfalfa, clover
and grass seeds, Mrs. Harling re-
ports. "This Is because OF the size
Of these grains." according to Mrs.
Harling. "Dodder and yellow trefoil
are especially harmful to alfalfa and
clover seed. Dodder Is a parasite vine
and may affect large area. 1t ma.
lures large number OF seeds tna'
NAV germinate Immediately or lay
dormant many years"
