On a plot Is of ground recently purchased adjoining the Terminal Elevator on the south, a closed corporation promoted by C. "Whiitely of Valley Center will erect Immediately a alfalfa mill. Most of the stock in this corporation is controlled by farmers living: in the vicinity of Valley Center and- Halstead. It will handle all of the alfalfa in the surrounding1 territory and will be one of the largest mills of Its kind in the southwest.

However, most of the stockholders are said to be farmers living' in the vicinity of Valley Center and Halstead. ARE YOU FAT? HARK: HERE'S THE REMEDY xng Advertisement of How to Do the Trick. "Fat men should starve says Fred prominent business man of Tulsa, who is in Wichita this week looking after business interests.

"There Is no reason why men of this type should carry superfluous weight around with them, especially during the hot weather, when by a system of fasting they can be as comfortable and as well proportioned as they might wish." Mr. Hazen is a fat man himself or rather, was fat and has put the "fasting system" to test many times his own weight 35 pounds hy refraining from the use of any food except eggs, which he eats but once a day amount nf Rrriflrr to nppntnnllsih anv- thing by following the system, but If the fat men stick to the fasting idea it Is a great thing for them. The reason so many fat people fail In their efforts to reduce their flesh is be- cause they do not have nerve enough to fight to the finish, he says, and as a result end up near where they started. Mr. Hazen weighs close to 200 pounds, yet carries very little Bupur-fluous fat on his body and is able to get around as well or better than many men of much less avoirdupois.

fraiwhts $100 AND 60 DAYS Andale Man Didn't Carry All His Booze Inside, According to Verdict of Court. Ralph Ackers, who came to Wichita to get married, got out of his visit with considerable less expense than he expected as It only required $5 and costs to settle his stay in the city. He found his girl in a hammock with another fellow and slapped the rival's face. Hence the five. He was fined in city cotirt.

Yesterday was another busy day for Judge Pierpont in city court. Business for the court seems to have picked up, rather than diminished with the coming of the hot weather and the past month has been a record breaker. n.

At Your Service FAKE OFFICER Smooth Gent Is Holding Up Motorists and Making Them Deposit Bond Money.

Pay no money to any officer or to anyone who claims to be an officer" Is the instruction Issued to" the public by Acting Director of Public Safety Fordyce following reports of a clever swindle that has been worked in Wichita the past week. Some man Is around claiming to be a police officer and is arresting people for speeding, bright lights and other i causes and instructing the ones sup-gposed to be arrested to give him a sum of money as bonds for their appearance in court. Some times he gets $3 and often times' more. His favorite causes of arrests are bright lights and speeding. The only officer -entitled to receive money is the desk sergeant at the station and no traffic officer, patrolman or other police official has authority to fix' or accept bonds for appearance and no one but the Judge can pass sentence and make fines.

A motorist who Is so stopped and ordered to give such bonds should bring the miscreant to the station if possible, or if not report the incident to a.bona fide officer at once. This is the second swindle of the sort to have been worked in this city within a short time. The previous offender collected dog taxes, but never had an accounting with the city clerk. Several motorists have been corraled by the new one this week. caseIgIsi critesjppped Authorities Find No Intention of Wmno- TlmTur On Part of WORK NG GAME -I Ad Medhmx DIAUOnD A JEIVELRT Lowest Prices Highest Quality HfeOtA Hal it lim sz2 lMiM Am.

Postmaster Joe Riddle of the local postoffice believes that the postoffice department at Washington has some idea it is hot weather out in Kansas.

Record time in getting permission to install ceiling fans in the local post-office brings this conviction. Ten days ago this question was taken up with the Washington office. Ordinarily a request of this sort goes through at least several weeks of correspondence and investigation before it Is finally rassed on definitely. Imagine the gratification of Mr. Riddle, therefore, when yesterday he received final orders to install the fans at once.

Six fans will be put in, In the mailing department, city division and workmen's quarters. They will be in place in a few days.
