DENTIST, OIL RICH,
 STILL PULLS TEETH
Five Wells Struck on Farm of
 Topkena Man, Bring Wealth

Topeka. Kan, Dec. 22.-"Tm think
 ing of taking a little trip to Cali
 fornia, but I won't abandon my prac-
 tice in Topeka by any means. I've
 practiced dentistry in this office near ly 30 years and my father before me
 practiced here many years. | This Is the statement by Dr. r. o. Burkett. Topeka's newest million aire, when asked If he intended to continue his present way of living now that he is rich. Within the last 60 days five big oil wells have been brought in on q farm owned by Burkett in Greenwood county. "Of course. 1t takes all the time can spare to look after my oil in- terests now" Dr. Burkett said, "and would take all my time and more if properly attended to. Wealth has its exceptional requirements and have been on the go night and day for weeks now. trying to take care of my practice and development in the oil field"
 Dr. Burkett's statement that he disliked giving up dental practice built by up himself and his father over more than a quarter of a cen tury, was made in deep sincerity. He pointed with pride to the many cer- tiflcates of degrees from various col leges and universities and stated sim- ply that his real business has been the practice of his profession.
 Dr. Burkett, however. has given an immense amount of time in the last few years developing his farm in Greenwood county both as farm and as prospective oil field.
 T am just as proud, he said, "of the 250 acres of fine wheat have on my farm as I am of the oil, but 1t doesn't bring in quite the return the oil does"
 Dr. Burkett's father, Dr. P. J. M. Burkett, was a pioneer physician.
 So far, his newly acquired fortune hasn't changed his mode of life particle This despite the fact that the fifth big oil well was brought in on his farm in Greenwood county last week and ten drill rigs are going up on the farm. The farm has been named the new "Burkett pooP' by oil men and is>a sensation of the year in the oil industry.
 At his office last week Dr. Burkett pulle teeth, made plates for false teeth and did all the other things a dentist usually does. His patients didn't seem to mind being worked on by millionaire.

SECOND FAMILY ID GET XMAS DINNER
Sympathetic Woman Responds to Child's Appeal to Santa Claus

Another needy family the daughter of which appealed in person to Saoea Claus for a chicken for Christmas, will have the request granted. Read CTS of The "Herald" will remember that last Saturday two little girls ap- pealed to Santa Claus, who was col- lecting funds for the Salvation Army Christmas, stating that they would have no chicken for Christmas. One little girl, who said they had eight children, and who it is learned since, is a member of a family of 12, had her request granted almost immedi-. ately, a Herald" reader coming into this office and offering to provide the dinner. The other little girl, who Is member of family of seven chil- dren, will have her appeal granted, Captain John Edeen, of the Salvation Army, stated this, afternoon, by a New Britain woman who phoned for the family address, shortly before noon.
 T am glad to have people to do this" said Captain Edeen. Tt leaves me just that much more for the many other needy families and helps make everyone happier" Captain Edeen said today that if people only realized the satisfaction they get out of buying a Christmas dinner, many others would follow suit. But ' must say I am well pleased with the generosity of New Britain people," he said. "Yesterday woman sent me a check for a Christmas dinner and with the help of Santa Claus and tur two kettles we took in $60." He said he expected to take in about $500 during the week.
 On the other hand, Captain Edeen says he received five letters from families appealing for aid yesterday.
 Santa Claus yesterday picked up a fountain pen, addressed ITO Moth- CT" in a Christmas package, which he turned over to the Army. This can be obtained by calling at the army headquarters at 11S-120 Arch street.

WANT TOO MUCH

WcIland County officials in Canada
 Claim $500 Is Too Much Money to
 Pay Esecutioncrs.
 Niagara Falls. Ont, Dec. 21.-Wel- land county officials are worrying about double hanging which Is set to take place in the county jail on January 12. One of the chief causes of concern is that no official hang man has yet been engaged.
 In response to recent advertise ment several applications were filed, but the fees demanded, ranging from $200 to s3Od, were considered too high. In the past, officials said, $50 was sufficient to get man to fasten the black cap on q condemned man and spring the trap.
 The men sentenced to die are Harry Rutka and Nick Thomas. They killed neighbor in q row over real estate deal.

IMPROVING STOCK
British Wool Growers Are Importing Herds in Hopes of Producing Bet ter Goods.

London. Dec. 22.-Several hundred head of rams are to be imported into this country from Peru in. order te test the possibilities of producing merino wool, or merino cross wools in the British Isles.
 The plan is the result of efforts by many wool manufacturers in the north of England to breed sheep here which would produce a grade of wool as fine as that produced in South America. At the present time the finest wool produced here is graded as coarse.
 Should the initial efforts be success full. 1t is probable that all of the pres ent large flocks will be gradually killed to make way for the finer breeds, as these command prices four times higher than the present Brit fish product.

While Herr Cuno is thus given

NeW Grain Futures Act
Unconstitutional, Says
Chicago Board of Trade
Date of Hearing; Called Unfair as
OldLegislative Measure

Washington, Nov. 25.--A motion to
advance the hearing of the appeal OF
the Chicago Board of Trade from the
decision of Judge Carpenter at CHI
cago /. in the case brought to test the
constitutionalty of the grain futures
act will be made in the supreme court
Monday, and the court would be asked
to suspend the operation of the act
until 20 days after it renders its de-
eision.
In the brief which will be submitted
by Henry S. Robbins, counsel for the
Chicago Board of Trade, it will be
pointed out that similar suits have
been filed by the other principal grain
exchanges of the country, which trade
in futures, and that by agreement, the
other eases are 70 abide by the final
decision in the Chicago case.
Declaring that the grain futures
act was enacted to take the place of
the futures trading act which was
held by the supreme court unconstitu-
tional in all its. regulatory features as
beyond the taxing and commerce pow
ers of congress, the brief asserts that

mer net and is therefore quite as
Objectionable.
Instead of forcing the exchanges to
become "centralizing markets" by Il
prohibitiye tax on all futures contracts
not made by its members upon a quail
flying exchange. the brief states the
present act seems to attain the same
results by imposing Il penalty and i'm
prisonment upon any person who
makes Il future contract for grain ex-
cept through member of an exchange
which has become contract mar
ket
In other Words the brief CON
tinues, the grain futures act is the
same as the future trading act minus
the tax imposed to enforce it and plus
a provision making non compliance by
members of the exchanges crime"
The new act, it is asserted attempts
to support its validity by reciting that
manipulation upon the exchanges
causes sudden and violent fluctuations
in prices, which constitute burden
upon interstate commerce in grain.
