Eastern Kansas was favored with a
fall of snow on Sunday, the goth, that
totalled from one to two inches in
many places, and also some rain with
it, making the weeks fall of moisture
in that section from a tenth to half
an inch, but the western half was
badly sighted, according to the re-
ports of 100 correspondents of the
weather bureau. Only a few counties
west of the middle line of the state
had a measurable fall of moisture and
the ~-ound there is becoming very
dry. Temperatures in the northwest
counties were below zero at the be-
ginning of the week and again on the
3Oth and not far above zero in many
other localities. but the weeks aver
age was close to normal The eastern
and south-central counties had very
little sunshine.
The Kansas wheat crop is in very
poor condition over nearly all the
western half of the state. Not so per
section and a great many western
counties report less than 25 per cent
showing. Wheat fields from Dodge
City west and south are practically
bare. The eastern half has been bet
ter favored with moisture and wheat
in the three eastern tiers of counties
is generally reported as good and in
the extreme southeast as well stooled
for the time of year. Many central
counties south of the middle line OF
the state, such as Sedgwick. Kingman
and Sumner report that wheat is fair
to good and a great deal showing
above ground. At present the vitality
of the crop is problematical in all sec

TO TAKE PROPERTY
Government Makes New Rule
Regarding Liquor Case.
District Attorney Prepares Deed
for House in Crawford Co.

Persons engaged in manufacturing
and selling intoxicating liquors in
Kansas are not only subject to the
payment>of heavy fines and penalties
but the government can force the col
lection of the amounts by the seizure
of property even to the extent of TAX
ing over homestead.
This became known today when Al
F. Williams, backed by authority
from the department of justice at
Washington, prepared a deed which
the government can file with the reg
lister of deeds of Crawford county
showing that it is now the owner of
a house and lot recently seized from
Joe Rank of Franklin, that county.
The place was advertised for sale and
the government bid the property in
for an amount equal to penalties and
taxes imposed against Rank for man
ufacturing liquor.
When the matter first came before
Williams he started an investigation
on the theory that a homestead could
not he taken to justify a debt without
giving the owner an opportunity to
offer a defense in court. He found,
however. that the property may be
seized and sold and that the owner IS
powerless even to resorting to the old
and usually faithful remedy of an in
junction suit The only recourse the
owner has is to afterwards bring suit
for rebate, if he thinks the penal
ties have been wrongfully inflicted,
and il he loses the only way to re-
cover the property is, to pay the
amount
While the Rank case is said to be
the first of it's kind in the state,
George f. Richardson. division chief
in charge of the Topeka internal
revenue office. said today that many
others are apt to follow unless a lot of
individuals decide shortly to pay the
amounts that have been assessed
against them for the illegal manufac-
ture of Intoxicating liquor.
Making Collections Over State.
I'VE are making such collections all
over the state" said Richardson, but
there are a lot of assessments that
have not yet been paid. There is a
certain farmer in Shawnee county
whom we will levy against within a
few days unless he comes across with
about $4,000. We made a collection
this week that will pay all OF the ex-
cases where the guilty parties have no
property or are unable to raise the
money, we will institute criminal pro-
ceedings."
Under the Volstead act persons en-
gagged in the illegal manufacture of
Intoxicating liquor are subject to a
penalty of $1,000, and those selling it
to a penalty of $500, an addition to
double the regular revenue tax. The
penalties are inflicted as punishment
for failure to report or pay the regu-
lar tax. BY enforcing this section of
the Volstead act, revenue officials say
they hope in time to practically elm
mate the manufacture of liquor in
Kansas.

clared today I'VE work under the di-
administrator, just as we worked un-

The Harrison Clarkson plant has
done the printing for the Kansas In
spection Bureau since the founding of
the bureau. nearly half a century ago,
by the late Harrison Clarkson him
self. Clarkson's printing of the rates
which have been set by the rating bu-
reau established a precedent which
has been followed 'thruout the United
States.
After the death of Harrison Clark

charge of the printing plant, the con-
Germ came under the direct manage
ment of Frank S. Edison, son-in-law of
Clarkson, and administrator of his es-
tate.
Edison is not il Topeka at the pres
ent time, but is expected to return late
this week.
