CAR OF MANY ADVENTURES
Was Stolen and Then Mysteri0usl,
Set Afire and Destroyed

Set Afire and Destroyed
HeringtOn Times: Tom Ballantyne
of Abbotsford stock farm went to
Wichita early Wednesday morning
of last week to attend the big stock
show. He came into Herington on
short time, so left his car at the
Rock Island depot as he expected to
come back that night. About mid
night some one saw blaze in the
alley ut the northeast corner of the
Hawley lumber yard. The fire alarm
was turned it. The crowd that gath
cred found Mr.. Ballantyne's car in
flames that had such headway they
could not be checked. A hobo was
found who was walking along the
Missouri Pacific track between
Broadway and the Missouri Pacific
depot. lie said he saw the car, en-
veloped in flames roll over the bank
where it was found, but he did not
see anyone jump out ot or anywhere
around.
A rubber syphon protruded from
the gas tank. 1t is the theory of
many that some one used the syhon
to saturate the car with gasoline be-
fore touching a match to 1t.
The car was a Liberty Six and
had been driven about three years.
1t was insured but not nearly enough
to cover the loss. This is the car
that was stolen from Mr.. Ballan-
tyne's garage two years ago and later
found at Wellington.

LITTLE WHEAT ABOVE GROUND
Shortage Of Stock Water But Album
dance Of Feed, Report Shows

Less than 90 per cent Of the win
ter wheat crop Of the western half OF
Kansas shows above the ground and
in great many western counties,
less than % per cent, says the week
ly report issued by s. ID. Flora, fed
eral meteorological for Kansas. The
eastern half of the state has been
more favored with moisture, the re-
cent precipitation having amounted
to as much as half an inch. But the
west half, where the need of mois-
ture was much more acute, was
badly sighted" the report says.
Livestock Is in good condition gen.
orally and there Is an abundance of
feed for It, but Al shortage Of stock
water has caused much inconven-
fence, especially in the southeastern
counties.

DICKINSON SHOULD WIN
Cash Prizes Of $4,000 to Counties
That Oust Most Scrub Bulls

Cash Prizes Of $1,000 to Counties
That Oust Most Scrub Bulls
Two thousand dollars In four cash
prizes Is offered by the Chamber oi
Commerce of Kansas City, Mo-, tC
the Kansas counties that replace the
greatest number Of scrub bulls with
nure bred bulls. The money Is di-
vided into $1,000 first prize, $500
second, $500 third and 5000 fourth.
Prizes are to be awarded to the coun-
ty farm bureau or to the county
breeders association in counties
where there Is no bureau. The Cham
ber and the Kansas State College Of
Agriculture are cooperating on this
contest. The supervision Of the work
is in the hands Of the extension SER
vice of the college.
Entry in the Kansas Better Bull
Contest should be made to the direc-
tor of extension, Manhattan, Kansas,
before March Is. However. II a
county Is unable to enter before this
date its entry may be accepted later.
In interpreting the rules, a scrub
bull is defined as a bull that Is not
registered. The scrub is replaced
when his owner sells him out Of the
county or castrates him and buys an
interest in q registered bull. This
provides for more than one scrub
bull being replaced by a Rpre bred
where farmers wish to buy good
bull jointly. However, one pure bred
cannot replace more than five scrubs
under the rules Of the contest

ROTARY CLUB HAD DINNER
Program Of Addresses and Music al
the Session


The Abilene Rotary club held 1t
first evening meeting since Its organ
ization last night at $3.50 at the Abb
lene Club. 1t was one Of the bes
attended meetings the club has held
as well as being full Of pep and gin
ger from beginning to end, being
opened with songs, interspersed will
songs and closed with songs, some
so original that only the trained
chorus could sing them.
One Of the more amusing stunts
along this line was the sketch, 1.-THE
News Of the Day." a conversational
duet punctuated by a few barber
shop chords" in which Mike Malott
and Brace Whitehead unlOaded some
choice gossip, the following being a
sample:
"Al Chain they say, made 30
On the coldest day this winter.
He knocked the ball so gol-durned far
His driver he did splinter
Do you believe it?"
At the close of each morsel Of
gossip they asserted that it was
"only newspaper talk"
Very timely and instructive busi-
ness talks were made by G. G..
Wyandt OH Farm Loans" Mike
Malott on THE Present Financial
Situation" and Rev. David Townley
on Religion and Business" Charlie
Wyandt almost scared the bunch to
death when he brought in the notes
for his speech only to learn that
Brace had misunderstood him and
brought in the file Of expenses for
thek recent trip to Cincinnati.
Herbert Hogue Of Liverpool, Eng
land, the guest Of the evening. was
a most interesting description Of
business methods in England and
Continental Europe, furnishing some
Illuminating facts regarding the fin
ancial comeback" that Germany Is
staging, as well as paying an excel
lent tribute to the business acumen
Of our English cousins.
The educational program in charge
of Howard Norman was very enec-'
lively handled and the charge to the
new members admitted for February,
who are. Ralph Hoffman, Bruce
Gleissner and VIM. Stacey, was
closed with an improvised autopsy
conducted by four Rotary" surgeons
over the remains Of an alleged Rotar-
ian. An examination Of the deceased
party's head, heart, stomach and feet
by doc" Will Green, Everett
Shockey, Howard Huffman and
Keith Clevenger, was sufficient to
convince event the initiates that he
never had been a ROtarian.
Other events Of the evening were
the presentation Of handsome
American flag to the club by the
Associated Companies and the arrival
of the membership buttons which are
worn at luncheons and other meet

DISBURSEMENTS WERE $5O8, 600
In One Month County Did As Much
Business Is 1t Used To Do in Year

The disbursements for Dickinson
county in January were $508,UO0,
according to M. r. Calkins, county
treasurer. This amount was partly
spent in taking up warrants, and
represents more business than used
to be done in the county in an en-
tire year The receipts during the
same month amounted to $4S0,OOO
and were part from taxes and part
from the sale of road bonds.
Fifty-six per cent Of the total tax
for 1921 had been collected by Dec
ember 20, according to Mr.. Calkins
and he considers it a good record in
view Of the present tight condition
of finances.

WHY HE GOES BACK

You phone the plumber to come
an do repair job. Nine times Out
of ten, you don't know what is to be
done, and you can't tell what repairs
are needed. About as far as you can
go is to say that the water Is leak
ing in the bath room, or there's a
particular noise in a pipe, or some
things the matter.
The plumber arrives, works while
and then goes back to the shop. He
may go back a second or a third
time,
You can't understand why he goes
back. And because you can't under
stand. you are apt to think that the
plumber is loafing on the job-loaf-
ing at your expense. But such is
not the case.
This is why he goes back-There
are many kinds of plumbing. and
each kind has a number Of different
parts. To carry all the parts for all
the repair jobs would be an impossi-
bility. So the plumber must first
see the kind Of plumbing you have
in your house, then locate the par
ticular trouble, go back and pick out
the needed parts. II later on. he
finds more trouble between walls or
under the floor. he may have to make |
other trips 10 the shop.
All parts are being standardized |
Standardization means fewer trips
