BANKERS ARE READY TO HELP
Easy to Finance Dairy Herd, They Tell
Officials with Demonstration Train.

SaIina, Kan, May At is easy to
finance a herd of dairy cattle, accord
ing to Representatives of the Santa Fe
railroad and the Kansas State Agrl-
cultural college who have been inter
viewing bankers at the Cow. Sow and
Hen" administration train
Bankers are almost unanimous in
the declaration that the farmer who
needs money to buy milk cows can
get it. In every locality visited by
the train so far. the bankers point
with pride to successful men and
women who started in the dairy bust
ness on nothing but brains, grit and
honesty, borrowing the money neces-
sary for the original investment. 1t
is almost as easy to finance a bunch
of hogs or a flock of poultry.
The material thus assembled will be
disseminated generally to assist in re-
building the livestock industry of the
state The speakers with the train re-
gard the financial question as espe-
cially important in connection with a
diversified farming program at this
time. Quite often it is the man who
is farming on a small scale who can
be induced to adopt one of the side
line features.
The demonstration train program
was given here this morning to a
crowd of several hundred farmers.
The train reached Salina during the
night after a run thru Winfield, Null
vane Augusta and FL Dorado where
meetings were held Wednesday. At
Arkansas City in the morning. the
agricultural classes from the schools
visited the train. other meetings to-
day will be held at Abilene, Barnard
and Minneapolis. The train will be at
CORTLAND Friday morning, and at
Marion, Saturday morning.
The rains this week seemed to help
rather than interfere with the atten-
dance at the various meetings, as
farmers have been unable to get into
their fields. The attendance at the
first ten meetings avera ged $50 which
the college people say is highly salts
factory. and which is beyond the Santa
Fe's estimates. T. J. Talbert, of the
college extension department, says in

ALL DAY SUCKERS IN STYLE.
Five Thousand 'LoIypop5' Being
Distributed by Grand Theater

All day suckers are in style again.
Five thousand of those we'll known
candies which in their earlier pre-
ception were called "Io1lypops." are
being distributed today to the school
children and the older kids of To-
peka.
The Suckers are the gift of Man
ager E. D. Keilmann of the Grand
theater and were obtained thru the
Topeka branch of the Loose Wiles
company. They are being taken to
the different Topeka schools in cars
bearing signs advertising the advent
here next week of Wesley "Freckles''
Barry in school Days" which the
boy actor declares is his biggest and
best picture.
A special matinee showing of
school Days has been ARA nged for
Monday starting at 4:15 o'clock so
that the school children may attend
after school hours. The picture is
particularly appealing to the Riddles
because it tells their story, but it has
an even stronger appeal to the colder
kids" who can remember their school
days, and to whom the return of the
''lollypops" today has brought re-
freshened memory.

ROTARIANS SWITCH PROGRAM
Clark Neiswender, Wholesale Drug
Manufactures, Is Speaker.

NAdnuIuCIuECFs Is SpCAkCE.
The Rotary program committee
switched cases on the club today. Tom
W. Williamson. president-elect of the
club. had been Scheduled to speak
Checking up, it was found that Clark
Neiswender, wholesale drug nanufac-
turer. had a speech { in his system
which had been postponed oftener
than Williamson's speech, owing to
the interference of other necessary ar
engagements.
Neiswender's talk was particularly
applicable since there were some forty
visiting doctors, in attendance at the
annual meeting of the Kansas Medical
society, at the club. He spoke of
some of the little known incidents and
aspects of the wholesale drug manu-
featuring business.
Following Neiswender's talk, the
program committee staged a uniqu 3
stunt.
There was laundering upon the
doors of the Chamber OF Commerce
parlors. The windows were darkened
and the door opened. The devil en-
tered. At least he looked like the.
devil. Those who know asserted that
it was Frank Crane, dolled. up in a red
union suit and carrying a fish spear,
-COincident with his appearance red
fire burned up in a dozen places in the
dining room. The devil commenced
dialogue with Charles Mathews,
chairman of the program committee.
From the red fire there began to
emanate the odor of sulphur and
birthstone.
The dialogue became more acid and
the odor even less like the odor of
sanctity.
The wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth,' but the Rotarians' personal
devil fled today with the whole club
pursuing.
Music for the program was fur
nished. before the program commit
tee gave the club the devil, by Robert
Service, Topeka boy yiolinist, accom-;
panied by Miss Bernice Hemus. The
transition from Services delightful
emphasized the contrast.
