Or course you know that Dora

detective force in the city, or in New
England, for that matter. She was
wonderful during the war, so it
won't do bit of harm to tell of one
of her early experiences, though the
| laugh was on her. In fact, she often
tells it on herself as a good joke.
You might wonder how, after such
tumble, she ever got "a second
chance, but she really is beauty
and then there was Jim.~
/ Like all girls, when we were at
school we used to talk about what
we were going OF do after we grad

i that she was going into the secret
service. She fairly ate up mystery
stories, and there never was muir
der case or a theft that caused at
tention for which she was not ready
with a theory. And often times Il
came out much as she had guessed

i"guessed."D
OF course, at that time her father
was so rich that no one paid any at
tention to her rawlings, as we girls
called them, but once again richie.

ACREAGE is SAME
Dickinson's Acreage Is 100 Per
Cent Also

SSHI AkBO
Kansas has seeded 12,2S4, ,000
acres to wheat this fall, according
to estimates released last night by
Edward c. Paxton, statistician for
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. This is
the same as was seeded a year ago
which was the largest in the his
tory of the state. OF the acreage
sown a year ago only 9,741,OOO
acres were left for harvest the
past summer on which the aver
age yield was 1915 bushels per
acre for a total crop Of 1872, 49,
900 bushels.
The December condition Of the
present crop is 73 per cent Of nor
NAL as compared with 60 per cent
q year age; SO per cent two years
ago; and 81 per cent three years
ago. The ten year average De-
cember condition of Kansas wheat
has been "a per cent Of normal.
Dickinson county with 10000
acres seeded has 100 per cent
acreage and the wheat condition iS
estimated at "a per cent In this
county.
Generall. this fall has witness
ed a slight increase in wheat
acreage in the western half OF
Kansas and a decrease in the east
ern counties, where abandonment
was so heavy last spring, also
show increased acreage. The east
ern Kansas farmer shows increas-
ing tendency to get back to corn
and away from the war acreages
of wheat, leaving wheat produc
tion to the cheaper lands and more
easily farmed areas Of the West.

FIRE LOSSES INCREASED
Record Shows Them Greater In
Kansas During 1922

Fire losses In Kansas during
the first eleven months of 1922
almost equal the entire losses In
1921. The total loss Of Novem-
Der just past, was $40S, 1856
caused by an even 800 fires,
bringing the entire losses for the
first eleven months OF the pres
ent year to $5,153,S06, as COM
pared with a total OF S5,301, ,203
for the twelve months of 1921.
Losses during November, as given
In the report for the month is
sued today by State Fire Marshal
l.. T. Hussey, show a favorable
decrease from those Of the preced-
ing month, October, during which
381 fires were reported with
losses aggregating $505, 1928.
The losses during November by
shows Wyandotte leading
with property worth $SS,145 de-
