The past wek was a red-letter period In the registering of bonds by State Auditor Fred W. Knapp. Thirty different issues of bonds totaling 790 and aggregating the record. Under the old law a fee of 60 cents per bond was charged by the auditor for registering the bonds.

This would have netted $395 for the week's work. Under that law the auditor was entitled to retain as a personal perquisite the registration fee on utility bonds and the fees on the other bonds went into the state treasury. It so happened that during the past week only fifty-eight were utility bonds. This was an issue of waterworks extension bonds, so that the auditor would have received $29 and the state $366 of the above fees. Under the law as it now stands all bonds are registered without any fee.

The law was changed two years ago last winter In order to stop the extra fee allowance to the auditor, but instead of requiring him to turn all fees Into the state treasury, the legislature Btmply abolished the fee provision, thereby cutting the state out of several thousand dollars in revenues each year. As W. E. Davis had already been elected state auditor, the passage of the law did not apply to utility bonds until the close of his administration last January. In other words, during the two years ending last January, the auditor was entitled to his fees, vbut the state was cut out During the present year no fees have been collected on any bonds.

STATE COLLECTING OLD ACCOUNTS About $5,000 Monthly Is Being Added to the State Treasury from This Source. The work of collecting old aocounts due the state hospitals, has been given careful and systematic attention by the new board of administration. Upon the recommendation of the secretary of the board, Lee Harrison, a collection agency has been established and Wiley W. Cook, who was secretary of the retiring board of control, has been placed in charge of this work. Collections have been made on accounts dating back as far as 1888.

In many Instances parties liable for these claims have had no notice of their indebtedness to the state. The collection department has rendered great service in obtaining funds needed by the institutions at a time when there is such great need of increased cost of operation. The collection department was put in operation the middle of July and during the remainder of that month and- the mouth of August more than $7,000 was collected. September will chow at least an additional $5,000 and from the present Indications the collections probably will run $5,000 a month right along. These collections are in addition to the current collections made by the Institutions themselves, which amounts In the aggregate to $6,603 a month.

Bishop Jacob F. Isaac, J. G. Classen and John(R. Relmer, ministers of the Mennonite church in Meade, county, yesterday appealed to Governor Capper to save the twenty-five young Mennonite farmers drafted'in Meade county for army service.

Two of these were called Friday, and immediately the leaders of the Mennonite church came to Topeka to plead for the governor's aid In getting them exempted on the ground that their church creed precludes' them from bearing arms. Governor Capper told the delegation he could' do nothing in the matter; that the national government had decided that where conscientious scruples against war were considered as a part of the creed of a church, provision would be' made for young men holding these view to render other service than that of facing the enemy with a gun. "We don't talk for any nation, but all heartily pray to God to give us peace," the petition says. Two scriptural quotations are written into the petition. They are: St.

John 18:11: "Put the sword in the sheath," and Matthew 6:44: "I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray lor them which despitefully use you and persecute, that you may be children of your father which is in heaven." Two months or more ago committee" of prominent Mennonites from Harvey, McPhersonand 'Marion counties, joined by two members of that denomination from Oklahoma, went to Washington and were given assurance that the young men of this church drafted Into the army would be assigned to non-combatant service. a rf- JO Five Sites Offered to the State-Eighth District Has No Institution. O. McCormack, executive secretary of the Wichita board of commerce, yesterday presented to Governor Capper and the members of the state board of administration a statement showing many reasons why the new women's industrial farm and home should be located at Wichita. The statement furnished by Mr.

McCormack shows that five sites are offered, either of which presents ideal conditions as to water supply, sanitation, railroad facilities and productive soil. All these locations are near the city of Wichita, Twhich is reached by six railroad systems. The Eighth congressional district is the only one In the state without a state institution. It has been the custom to scatter these institutions thru-out the congressional districts, but In the distribution Wichita and the big and populous Eighth have been overlooked. The Wichita people contend that Sedgwick county is centrally located and would accommodate the needs of the state In every respect.

FARMER SEIZES GAME PRESERVE Garden City Residents Object to Him Using as Pasture Land Ceded by U. S. to the State. Several years ago the national government ceded to the state of Kansas five sections south of Garden City for a game preserve. The conditions were that the land, which is in the sand hills, should be enclosed and stocked with game.

The legislature, however, has refused to make an appropriation to comply with the government requirement and a farmer is using the tract as a pasture for his stock. Yesterday Governor Capper was appealed to in the matter. He is urged A -A Concrete Back Again Tennis Court Dr. C.

Many of our friends say they get the best results from a simple; home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a.

shampoo by getting some canthrox from your druggist, and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair instead of just the top of the head, as with most preparations.
