LAST WEEK A WARM ONE.
Indian Summer Weather Was
General Over Kansas Friday and
Saturday - Soaking Rains Fell
First ofsthe Week:
CBy S. D. Flora, Meteorologist.)

An exceedingly fine brand of Indian
summer weather prevailed over Kan
sas this week, with some of the high
est temperatures ever recorded so late
in the season on the 27th and 2Sth,
when thermometer readings were
close to 80 degrees in many places,
according to correspondents of the
weather bureau that cover daily con-
ditions in all parts of the state. Soak
ing rains fell on the SOth and S1St in
many of the central counties, where
they were badly needed, and lighter
rains in the northeast counties, but
the western third remains entirely too
dry for crop growth. A severe freeze
occurred in the extreme northwest
counties on the morning of the 31st.
Wheat is making satisfactory growth
in the eastern third of the state, espe-
cially the Kaw valley, and also in
some of the south-central counties.
but elsewhere only a small per cent
has come up and stands are spotted
and turning yellow. Much that is up
in the dry sections is dying. The
rains in the central counties at the
close of the week put the ground in
good shape to start wheat growing
again. The crop is reported to be
stooling in most of the eastern conn
ties and in limited localities as far
southwest as Ford county.
The condition of rye corresponds
closely to that of wheat, being good
in the eastern half and poor in the
western, where not much of it is up
yet
Cribbing corn was favored by the
fine. dry weather and made good
progress. Reports from correspond
ents indicate it is from 20 to SO per
cent done and in full swing in all
parts.
Pastures are about gone. except in
limited areas that had rains Pick

CASE AGAINST THE STANDARD
State Charges OIL Company Failed to
Pay Enough in Taxes.

The attorney generals department
has asked the Wilson county commits
sioners to fix a time for hearing his
charges that the Standard Oil COM
pany failed to pay the state enough
money in taxes. The state legal de-
partment wants an order compelling
the Standard to produce its books and
records for the last several years.
Some time ago it was asserted that
the Prairie Pipe Line company. a sub
sidiary of the Standard. owed the
state more than 100000 in delinquent
taxes because of oil in transit when
assessm ents were made. The Prairie
claimed exemption on oil in transit by
virtue of the fact that it is a common
carrier and engaged in interstate COM

Now the attorney general alleges
that the Standard failed to report ST.
0T6.4S5 worth of taxable property in
Wilson county in 1919-2O-21. The de-
partment will seek an investigation

ine-a delayed entrance, but all the more

mond in the rough and is plainly labeled
by the gypsies as a dangerous shrew. She
carries wei sharpened knife and is not

youthful Peregrine acquires her, being
obliged to "buy' her for all the money in

prophet to foretell that the gypsy Diana
is in reality far other and better than she
seems. but the detail Of her story and the

sunny land of mild romance and gallant adj
venturing 1t is also lit up with a gentle
whimsicality, an elaborate playfulness that
is always careful to explain itself as in
