BIG OUTPUT FROM STATE
May Print All High School Books
Ultimately.

1t would take field to hold all
the books laid one deep that have
been turned out of the state print
ing plant for the Kansas school
Book Commission during the last
seven years. Text books to the
number of 6,S48,736 have been
printed during this time, according
to figures compiled by J. c. Nell
henny, secretary of the commission.
This state publication, Mr.. Nell
-henny figures, has effected saw
ing of $1,OOO,0OO for parents of
school children in the state. The
actual saving last year was $193,-
579.62. This is based on the diff
ference between the states price
received for the books and the re-
tail price of individual publishing
companies. All grade school books
are now being printed by the state,
nine new volumes having been
taken over this year. Four high
school books are being published
at the state plant and it is the aim
Of the commission to ultimately
publish all high school and even
some texts used in the higher
branches of learning.

FIVE MILLION IN ROAD AID.
And Thus Kansas Can Amend Road
Laws To Get More.

Kansas will get more than $5,-
800, 900 in federal road aid and will
have until November 8, 1925 to
amend her road laws so as to get
full advantage of the federal aid,
under the provisions Of the federal
road act which has just passed
congress and remains only to be
signed by the president, according
to M. w. Watson, secretary of the
State Highway Commission.
OF chief interest to Kansas, is the
fact that the time for amending
state laws to take full advantage
Of the federal aid was extended from
three to five years. Under the orig
inal provisions of the road bill, Kan
sas would have had until November,
1924 to submit constitutional
ON road aid, which
would not have permitted the con-
stitutiOn change to be made with
out the state losing some federal
aid. Now Kansasa will have an
to continue federal aid
road construction as before.

Mirage Puzzles 'Em

Automobiles on the Golden Belt
between here and Abilene have been
witnessing phenomenon nearly
every day that is clear and warm. A
mirage, apparently a large body of
water, is at different times quite plain
at distance of about 500 yards
ahead of the car. As you approach
closer it disappears only to come into
sight again further on. At times
white caps are to be seen. Just what
body is responsible for the mirage has
not been determined but it is un-
doubtedly at some great distance as
there are no lakes or ponds Of con-
sideAable size in this vicinity.-Chap-
man Advertiser.
All hard surface roads with smooth
surface show an apparent mirage Of
water in warm weather, the result of
heat ,emanates from the concrete.

RAIN DID MUCH GOOD.
Corn Condition Is Favorable In
Kansas.

N0IIo0bs
Rains during the last week did a
gerat amount Of good to corn In the
Southeast counties of the state, de-
clares the weekly weather and
crop summary just issued by the
department of agriculture in con-
junction with State Meteorologist
Flora. Corn generally is in good
condition and is not noticeably af-
fected by the dry weather in the
remainder of the state, the report
declared. In the eastern third and
south central counties it has been
cultivated two or three times and at
least once elsewhere and is in
clean condition.
Oats which had late start dur
ing the spring, the report says, are
short and weedy. and the hot
weather has proved unfavorable.
I'm the important producing coun-
ties of the northwest part of the
state barley is still in good shape.
The second alfalfa crop is max
ing "fine growth" where rains
fell during the week and is doing
fairly well elsewhere, the summary
continues. Alfalfa is being har-
vested in the southeast, but it will
be fortnight before the north
central and northeast sections can
be cut,

wheat field and lighted by electricity
all night, making striking display.
The farmers have noticed that the
wheat Immediately in front Of the
sign which receives the reflection Of
the light ripened earlier than that OF
the remainder of the field. They are
wondering If the wheat did not lose
count Of time and think daylight
lasted "a hours day and hence
hurry its maturity. The question is
open to discussion.
1t is not unusual for farmers with
electric service to turn on the light
