Holyfield, who returned last night from Kansas City, was much interested in the accounts published earlier in the week concerning the complaints made to the'blue sky" department at Topeka of oil operations at Lyndon. Farmers living near there had complained against Mr. 3Ioly-field to the state department alleging they had been sold oil stock which yielded no return. Mr. Holyfield explained that no improper means had been used in the transaction, asserted that the farmers who are, now complaining enter ed willingly into the plans to sink an oil well, and said that all the money taken in had been used in good faith in pinking the well.

I "The trouble was that, the wrell failed to develop oil or gas in paying quantities," said Mr. Holyfield. "A trace of botlr was found but not enough to be commercially profitable. .1 believed in it, just as those men of the Lyndon neighborhood did, and a lot of ray own money was lost when the well failed to prove profitable." He explained that the statement in the newspapers that oil stock had been sold to the farmers was an error. "No stock was sold or offered for sale," said Mr.

Holyfield, Instead a syndicate was formed, and the farmers purchased an undivided unit in. the project. The surface structure was pronounced favorable by several geologists. It appeared a well sunk where we drilled it would yield results, and far from being jhoodwinked into putting their money into the well, the farmers subscribed enthusiastically and induced their neighbors to subscribe. They were taking their chances in opening up a new oil field and if oil had been found every man of would have been made for life.

Only, it happened that the promise of the surface structure was not fulfilled in the well." C. P. A. PICNIC THURSDAY A Big Crowd Is' Expected to Spend the Day at Woodland Park 'The Douglas )C. P.

WOULD CONSTRUCT ASSOCIA-TION ON WORK OF HAGUE TRI1JUNAL WILSON LEAGUE FAILS Has Broken Down at Its First Test in Poland, Republican Nominee Asserts Even Europe Would Welcome Re- vision of the Covenant, He Tells Visitors Marion, Aug. 28. Pronounc ing the existing League ef Nations Hague Tribunal, clothed with such attributes of the league covenant rs may be found safe and practicable. He pledged himself if elected presitlent to make an immediate effort with the advice of the abk-st men of both political parties to form such an association, either by putting teeth into the Hague court or by revising the covenant to protect national aspirations.

The declai'ation was made in r. front porch speech to a delegation of visitors covering in detail the Republican nominee's position the nation'r foreign l-elations. The Senator replied directly to the Tegument of his Democratic opponent, Governor Cox, and declared the league issue had been scmare- ly joined. "The Democrats nominee' he said, has flatly said he is in favor of going in on the basis announced bv the President. am not.

That is the whole difference between us. but it is a most vital one because it involves the disparity between a world court of justice supplemented by world association for conference on the one hand and the council of the league on the other. The the candidate -asserted, has had a break down at its first test in Foland and now has "passed beyond the possibility of restoration." He quoted from British statesmen to support statement that a revision on the covenant would he welcomed abroad and answered the objection that he be more specific by asserting that detailed specifications were impossible in view of the changing world opinion.

Touching on Mexico, the Republican nominee proclaimed a "plain notice to every government on the face of the earth" that the United States would submit to no Wrongs to its citizens in person or property.

He also replied to charges of undue senate influence by asserting that as president he would be ciuite as vigilant as he had been as. a senator to prevent trespass on that branch of the government in which he served.

LOW PAY CAUSES TEACHER SHORTAGE Experienced Teachers Can Not Get Salaries Their Training Warrants Small schools with low salaried positions and teachers with many years' experience, who ask too large a salary for the small schools, is the secret of the present teacher shortage in Kansas, according to information from Prof. W.

H. Johnson's office at the University of Kansas. More than 400 teachers have been listed for employment by the teacher's appointment committee and many of them have been placed. Many vacancies have been reported from both high schools and grade schools and a large number of them have been filled. There still is a large sup ply of teachers, and there still is a large number of vacancies.

The only thing that keeps the teacher from the position is the great discrepancies between the salary asked and the salary offered, according to the committee. Most of the large high schools of the state have secured teachers but many of the smaller schools are still searching for instructors for this fall. They cannot offer an attractive enough salary to the teachers of many years exerience who are looking for positions.
