The Tribune does not make them. The Tribune
reports them. The Trbunes reporters face privatio
hardship, and occasionally persecution to get these
facts.
The Chicago Tribune is proud of the many scoops
achieved by its men, but their work is most valuable
because of the daily routine reporting of unvarnished
TRUTH.
The reports of the Foreign News Service Of The
Chicago Tribune are printed in its New York news
paper-The Daily Newsstand in many other papers

children. She was indeed a true

HIGH SCHOOLS GET THEM

picting the development of electric

WILL PLANT SMALL GRAINS
That Is Plan of Farmers Whose
Wheat Fails

Many Kansas farmers whose
wheat threatens to be failure are
planning to sow barley and other
small grains, according to informa-
alton gathered by Kansas State
Farm Bureau. Other farmers, how
ever, are planning to put out large
acreage Of legume crops in the belief
that this is a good time to build up
the soil.
The Kansas experiment station
discourages planting of spring wheat
in this state because it has been
founud to fail about nine seasons out
of ten.
Kansas farmers who have been
accustomed to plant wheat ground to
corn are restrained by the report OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton showing that 6O0.0OO.0OO bush
els of corn has been held over from
last year, which will tend to hold
down the price of the 1922 crop.

WHEAT is COMING ALONG
Rains Sprout Seed Planted Last
Fall

Wheat that did not sprOut after
being sown last fall is now sprouting
and about ready to break through the
ground, according to reports received
by Walter Jones, weather observer
at Salina. Mr.. Jones said bare fields
in the vicinity of Wilson and Glasco
promised big wheat crop.
Following the recent snow, farm
ers dug through the snow, and every
kernel they examined had germin-
ated, sprouts being from one fourth
to one half inch long. The kernels
laid dormant through the fall and
winter, Mr.. Jones says. lie says
he has every reason to believe that
bare fields covered by the recent
snow and moisture, will soon be car
peted in green velvet. He does not
believe the fall drought injured the
life of the seed, and warm weather
following the snow and rain, will
assure good crop.

UNITED GOES INTO COURT
Seeks to Set Aside p. U. G. Order i
Herington Toll Line Case

The United Telephone Company
which for four years has been giving
it's competitor, the Harrington Coop
erative Telephone Co., the use Of Its
toll lines, under protest, took its
troubles to the district court yester-
day at Topeka in an application FOR
an injunction against the public util-
titles commission. 1t seeks to en5oin
the commission from enforcing a re-
cent order giving the Harrington Co.
Operative Co. further permission to
use the rival company's toll lines and
to have the order set aside as un-
constitutional.
The Cooperative Co. obtained
permission to use the United's toll
lines December %, 1917. 1t con-
tinued using the lines until early last
year, when the United, without the
consent Of the public utilities COM
mission, refused to give 1t the use of
the toll line.
The Cooperative Co. then filed an
other request with the industrial
court and the permission was grant
ed. The United Telephone Co. now
seeks to have the order set aside.
Judge James A. Mcclure signed a
temporary restraining order enjoin-
ing the commission from enforcing
it's order until the outcome Of the
hearing for a temporary injunction.
The United objects to furnishing toll
service to a rival which has no toll
lines but wants to use the United
wires

CARRIERS GAVE GOOD SERVICE
Only One Day During Storm Was
Mail Service Interrupted .,,s.

Only one day during the period Of
the storm and bad roads, was the
rural mail service out of Abilene in
terrupted. On the one day four Of
the carriers made their routes in full
and three of them were in cars. The
carried on route 5 burned out the
bearings in his tar when he was
about eight miles from town and
was obliged to come back with a
team. Carrier Huston on route 1
reached the east end Of his line and
had to come back and hit the paved
road before he could make the west
end of it. Harry Mohler lost out on
two or there miles Of his route near
Holland on the second day Of the
storm.
Considering the condition Of the
roads the carriers made mighty fine
record for service.

WET SNOW ,DEM0RALiZED THE
WIRES FOR DAY


Following day aud evening Oh
rain and melting snow, three inches
of wet snow accompanied by hign
wind commencing at midnight de-
moralized for a while telephone. teie-
graph and power service until work
men could clear the principal lines
Telephone poles in town and country
weighted by the heavy wires, wehi
crashing to the ground. Scores OF
miles of toll lines are down anu the
United Telephone Co. has the great
est loss in over two years.
No service was possible to any OF
the surrounding towns during the
morning but lines are being cleared
rapidly as workmen wrestle with tne
tangle Of wires. It will require two
or three days to establish service and
miles Of lines will need rebuilding.
Power Lines Crippled
The current Of the United System
was shut off ut Z a. m. when 1t was
found that telephone wires had 1al'
len, resting on the light wires, max
ing danger from live wires, especially
in north Abilene. The main toll line
from the east rested across the light
wires. WOrkmen cut the phone lines
and released the power system and
by IL a. m. this was again working.
The heavy storm did not extend
many miles south as Peabody ana
Florence power lines are little at
fected.
Cars In the Ditch
A number of parties were held last
night and cars coming In from the
country club where dance was held
by about twenty couples had more or
less difficulty Two cars were left by
the road until morning. Country roads
are almost impossible. The only
farmers who are able to get to town
are those on the hard-surfaced roads.
Cut Wires for Train
The Santa Fe train from Salina
came in on time but passengers re-
ported that the telephone and tele-
graph poles are down for much or
the distance. At one place phone
wires were across the track, stopping
the train. The crew with chisels cut
the wires and proceeded on their
way.
Trains All Delayed
The westbound Union Pacific trains
were greatly delayed, owing to the
wire service and drifted snow. The
train due at Z a. m. arrived four
hours late. Eastbuond trains did bet
ter.
Santa Fe trains arrived practically
on time but the wire service Is badly
crippled. The Rock Island had about
the same experience.
Blanket for Wheat
The snow which was general over
the east half of Kansas placed the
wheat in most favorable condition,
laying a blanket of moisture over the
1t is an ideal condition for the grow
ing crop and comes at the right time.

BLAMES LACK OF CAPITAL
As the Frequent Cause Of Farm
Failure
ASSOCIATED Press

Topeka, March 15.-One OF the
most frequent causes Of farm fail
ures is lack of capital to furnish ade-
quate machinery and livestock, I. d.
Graham, assistant secretary Of the
State Board Of Agriculture, believes.
Mr.. Graham points to federal CEN
sus figures which show the Ameri-
can farmer has his capital invest
ment divided SIS per cent for real
estate, 2.5 per cent for implements
and 1915 per cent for livestock.
