A SAVING ON FEES
State Institutions Save Total of
s3,O96,79O.17 in Year.
Amount Is Deposited With
Treasurer of Kansas.

A total of ss.O96.79O.17 was col
lected in fees by state institutions and
departments and turned into their
general maintenance funds during the
fiscal year ending last June So as
shown by the books of State Auditor
n. A. Turner. The fees collected by
each of the institutions and depart
ments named are deposited in the
state treasury and may be drawn
upon in any manner the institution
of department desires.
Auditor Turner pointed out that
this amount of fee collection is a saw
ing of just that much to the taxpayers
of the state in that this money other
wise would have to be raised by di-
rect taxation,
Amount in Fees.
Following are the amounts that
were received in fees by these institu-
tions and departments during the last

asking when the system will be
changed over and they will begin to
use the automatic type of phone. But
1 believe the majority o. them just
want chance to juggle with the dial,
like kid with a new toy.
Those who have been in other
cities where the automatic systems
are in use, are all for them. Those
who have never seen them work
aren't always so sure, but they are
willing to try anything new once.
Yes, sometimes one of them wants
me to explain how the switchboard in
the central office will work. But that's
a job for a technical expert to ex-
plain and an electrical engineer to
understand, and there are SO very few
technical experts or electrical en-
gineers among the persons who use a
telephone, 1 always side step that
one.
Most persons seem inclined to obey
the little round card around the
mouthpiece. warning them not to use
the dial. They think if they don't
the telephone service will be jimmed
and their phone will be dead-which
is quite right. Lots ofethem pick up
the phone gingerly to avoid even
shaking the little dial.
fright there is the secret of a lot
of the success we are having in get
ting this change made. They do mind
the card and they don't monkey with
the dial. If they did. we'd go crazy.
Lots of persons, especially women,
want US TO do weird things with their
telephones while we are making this
substitution.
Want Phones Moved.
'"They want them fixed so they'll
ring downstairs and can be answered
upstairs. and vice versa. They want
them moved all over the house from
where they are at the present time.
There is only five and one-haIf
feet of insulated cord with each phone,

bell box, and Traits all we are allowed.
unless We have an order for the NOV

charge for that. But they don't see
why we can't move it around as long
as we have it loose anyhow
Whats the most foolish question
they ask?
Really, I don't know. lot of
them seem foolish to us. and don't
seem foolish at all to the persons who
ask them.
Probably the funniest mistake
they make is that they insist on. CALL

BANK MAY OPEN

Roosevelt County independently
In an effort to open the First Ma
tional Bank of Poplar, stock holders
are proposing that the depositors ac-
cept certificates of deposit, payable
in two years, for fifty per cent of
their claims against the bank. 1t
really amounts to take fifty per cent
or nothing at all, for to secure a
good reasonable party to take this
bank in hand and place it once again
upon a sound financial footing, it
will be absolutely necessary that
practically every depositor sign this
petition. 1t is a known fact that
the bank is badly broke and that the
receivership, even with Mr.. M. V.
Smith at the helm, doing everything
as economically as possible, has an
overhead expense that will in time
obliterate the little cash that is now
held in the vault. The intricacy of
The banking laws make it impossible
the present time to issue a state
nent in regardsto the affairs or stand
ng of the bank, such as a few of the
lepositors would like to have.

LAMBERT CORN SHOW

The date for the Lambert Mid
winter Corn show has. been definite
ly set. for February 18th and 18th
Invitations have gone out for a good
line of speakers and the program
committee is hard at work to put on
two big important days. Since the
first announcement of the prospects
of a Corn Show, farmers in every di-
rection have shown a great interest
in the project and a large exhibit
of corn is assured for the show. In
fact the plans for the show have dis
closed the feeling that the farmers
have felt for some time that this
was a corr country and a great num-
Der have been putting in large acre
ages for a number of years and all
that is needed to give this coming
industry it's proper recognition is to
have something like a Corn Show to
bring the ideas and opinions of the
people together on the subject and
then go after the job of corn raising
in earnest.
The program of the Corn Show
will be announced in an early issue

Pimento Cheese.

A most delicious cheese may be pre-
pared at home at a small fraction of
the cost usually paid for such an ar
ticle. Take one-fourth Of a pound OF
good, snappy American cheese, put
through the meat chopper, also grind
with three ~hard-cooked eggs, three or
four canned ~pimentoes. Alternate the
egg and peppers through the grinder
to save the juice of the pepper, sea-
% with salt and cayenne, add mayon-
naise dressing to moisten, and put
away to chill. Cover with paraffin pa
per and keep in the ice chest. 1t never
spoils, for it doesn't last long enough.
This is excellent for the sandwich fill
ing for hungry boys and men who
carry lunches to school or work.

ming. The bank has been under q
heavy load for some little time and
most of the paper held was for money
loaned to farmers throughout the
county who have been unable to pay
due to short crops and low grain
prices. Heroic efforts were made by
the officers and directors to avoid
closing, but the present financial
stringency coupled with general bust
ness depression made it impossible
for them to continue.
An effort will be made to reor-
ganize and reopen the bank at an
early date, although nothing definite
on this has been given out by the Off
