Some time ago Charles grandfath-

bunny's home. Then his grand
mother promised him a baby chick

proudly with the little chick in his
hands. Having no other place pre-

welcome. Now the two are warm
friends, they sleep in the box to-

HARD ON THE sHERIHFs
VIII Have to Pay Own Fare In TAX.
ing Prisoners to Pen

/
The second state fund to be ex-
hausted before the close of the pres
ent Rscal year. ending June 80, is
that for conveying prisoners to the
state penal institutions. according to
n. A. Turner, state auditor. The
fund of the state bank department
was exhausted some time ago and
State Commissioner Frank H. Fos-
ter was authorized to borrow money
to run the department the remainder
of the year.
With the prisoner fund gone. Kan
sas sheriffs and other officers will be
required to pay their own railroad
fares until the next legislature can
appropriate funds for the purpose,
State Auditor Turner said.
The last legislature appropriated
$1,000 for conveying prisoners, the
largest amount appropriated by the
legislature for this purpose. The
1919 legislature appropriated $4,-
600 year for this purpose for 1920
and 1921 and when it was found
that this was insufficient. the spec
ial session added $4,000 a year,
making the total $4,000 year. The
1891 session appropriated $1,000 a
year for 1922 and 1923.
During the last fiscal year, POI
men and 80 women were conveyed
at the expense Of the state to penal
During the II months |
Of the present fiscal year, 33S men
and % women have been conveyed. |
No action similar to that taken for
the bank department is cOatemplat
ed to relieve the shortage in the
prisoner fund, Turner said.

WHERE 1T RAINS TO ORDER

Davis Strawberry Land Does MOI De-
pend on Weather
As we come toward the end OF the
strawberry season. the record OF the
year is one of fine berries, about the
incest in the county's history. A
marvellous producer has been the
two acres on the Davis place on
North Vine where 20 crates a day OF
wonderful berries have been gather
ed. The grounds are independent OF
rain-an overhead irrigation system
with force pump taking the
water from the creek makes artifi-
cial rain at any time and is also a
frost preventive. This is one Of the
finest plants In the west and the
berry acreage will be increased an
other acre and a half for next year.
Other vegetables are grown under
the same favorable conditions. The
Davis home with its family cooper
alton is one Of the fine things Of Abb
lene and well worth a visit. All
members Of the family pool their re-
sources and they are on the way to
a very comfortable competency be-
cause they manage their affairs sys-
and well.

HARVEST TO START JUNE 20
State Will Need 10000 Harvest
Workers

workers
The hum of the harvest machin-
cry in Kansas eight and half mil
lion acres of wheat will start about
June 20, will reach crescendo in
the central wheat belt two weeks
later and die away in the northwest
ern counties in another two weeks.
Officials of the state FIRE employment
bureaus estimate that Kansas will
need approximately 10000 harvest
workers from outside the state to
help garner the annual yield Of
wheat.
But they caution men from out
side Kansas against the usual pre-
mature influx. The demand will not
be great, if any at all, in the eastern
third Of the state where the acreage
is much smaller than in the central
and western portions. Also, it is said
there are many more men available
within the state than there have
been since before the war.
More than half the total acreage is
in the central third Of the state, the
other half being about equally dI-
vided between the eastern third and
the western third. The central and
western thirds are thinly populated.
as compard with the eastern third,
so virtually the entire demand for
harvesters will come from these dis
tricts.
The epoch of extremely high
wages In the harvest fields, which
reached a maximum Of $40 and IL
a day three years ago, is no more.
The wages announced for this
year are: Eastern third, 50 to So;
central and western, So to 81. These
include board and lodging.

State Police To Watch Loading
 of Motor Trucks

Damage to Connecticut highways by trucks heavy that they broke through the surface amounted to over ss0O,0OO in the spring of 1920. it was stated yesterday by State Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett. That marked the maximum sum that has had to be spent by the depart ment to repair such highways at the end Of the spring frosts. Last springs damage was less, although 1t caused a heavy expenditure.
 Determined to keep down such highway, motor vehicle and state po- ice departments have agreed to CO., operate in plan of strict enforce ment of the law against overlooking. The law gives the highway commis- sioner the right to order a reduction in the load of any truck using the state highways, if he thinks 1t is dam aging the roads, or even to order the machine off the road altogether. The other two departments will assist him in the watch for trucks which are and arrests will be made by the state police in fragrant cases, 1t was an nounced yesterday by Superintendent Robert T. Hurley.
 The fact that a truck is registered to carry a rated load does not hinder the highway commissioner ordering a reduction of the load to a weight un- der the registered capacity, when he

 Commissioner Bennett pointed out that the necessity and expense of repairing damage done to main roads in the spring often takes funds that could otherwise be used to extend the reconstruction work on highways that have become run down by long wear.
 The bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agricu1- ture Is engaged in Investigations de- signed to determine accurately the 1oad-carrying capabilities of various kinds of roads. of various thicknesses Npon different kinds of subsoils-a fstudy which is expected to yield val uable information in meeting the problem presented by heavy motor trucks.

Mail Carriers

Postal patrons have been hearing much peeping and chirps in the Post Office and the Parcel Post Annex lately. Some said that the new post naster-general had probably sent canaries to keep the workers cheerful and happy. But they are all wrong. Investigation discloses the fact that the chirps and peeps are from day old chicks in transit.
 Now that the spring is here orders are pouring into chickeries for chicks. As soon as they are matched by an artificial mother they are put in cardboard boxes with air holes in the side and shipped. The chicks can live 72 hours without food or water.
