-Treasury experts are said to be at work on a mem orandum to be submittea to congress setting forth the facts of the government's financial situation as bears upon the soldier bonus.

A BLACK STREAK Airplane Will Be Used to Kill Big Wolf Near Claflin Racing cars, motorcycles, even an airplane, not to mention numerous squads of well armed men are being resorted to in the effort to bring to earth a giant black wolf, with tremendous speed, which has been living on the sheep and calves in the country northeast of Claflin. According to Chester Ames of Claflin, the animal is much larger than a coyote, very vicious, and the fastest thing on four legs that section 1 has ever experienced. Ames got a shot at the animal Saturday, but the car in which he was riding was going 45 miles an hour and he failed to allow enough for the speed of the wolf, so only a few shots took effect and they did no particular damage. Speck Warner, the Ellsworth motorcyclist, chased the black fellow Sunday for 3 1-2 miles across fields and under fences, but the animal was too fast and clever and got away.

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, parties were out with guns, cars and dogs and Mr. Petrie from the Salt Marsh went up with his wolf hounds and the black wolf was chased and hunted and shot at but still runs as fast as ever. The latest scheme for his downfall is to get Ralph Northrup of Great Bend to follow his course in an airplane letting those on the ground know where the wolf is. It is thought that if he can be chased around for an hour or so in this way and then have a bunch of dogs turned loose on him, he will be caught. BLANKETS GALORE Joe Peery in charge of the blanket sale at the Blair-Gibson store has the biggest display of wool blankets ever brought to Lyons.

They come in olive drab, grey, brown, black, blue, plaid, mottled and checked. There are only two prices $2.75 and $3.50. "During the past year," Mr. Peery said today, "I have sold blankets by the tens of thousands. They are used for bedding, auto robes, overcoats, even by mothers for making warm clothing for children.

It was a lucky thing for the people of the United States that Uncle Sam bought far more blankets and wool cloth than his soldiers would ever need." WEEVIL IN WHEAT T. M. Hall, who discovered there was weevil in his wheat stored near Bushton, went to that place yesterday and started hauling his grain to market. When put into the bin it tested 61. Yesterday it tested from 58 to 60 and he got $1.04 a bushel for it.

He reported on return that weevil is in nearly all stored wheat in that part of the county and fully fifty loads were marketed in Bushton yesterday. PAVING HELD UP The city council of Nickerson has voted to sign the contract for the paving work in that city provided that the contractors, the StameyMackey Construction do not start work thereon until the injunction proceedings, now pending, are finally disposed of.

American proposal to redefine the open door policy in China and create an international board to examine both existing and future concessions which RECOGNITION AT K. C. Yesterday's Kansas City Journal displayed a picture of Fred Taylor of Lyons with the following: "Fred L. Taylor, vice president of the Western Retail Implement, Vehicle and Hardware Dealers Association, who will attend the convention of the organization here today. Mr.

Taylor is manager of the Taylor Sons Lumber and Implement Company, which has stores at Lyons, Alden and Mitchell, Kansas." Mr. Taylor, before leaving Lyons for the convention, stated that the association would undoubtedly drop the word "vehicle" from its title, due to the fact that the word has become obsolete. At one time vehicles of all sorts were the main stock of the dealers, but the auto and truck have practically forced the word into discard.

D. Funk of Bloomington, told farmers gathered here today at the annual Farmers' week held under the joint auspices of the Missouri college of agriculture and the state board of agriculture. Extensive experiments indicate that the best ears are those that ripen on good, normal, upright stalks which remain green while the husks turn yellow to brown and the ears become firm, Mr. Funk believes. The best ears, he said, are not borne perfectly erect nor do they hang straight downward.

Unbroken, unrotted shanks showing no indications of rotting kernels produce best ears, results have shown. "Our corn fields should yield at least 20 per cent more than they are yielding and it is important that the farmer should know the way the disease affects the corn," said Mr. Funk. Broken or discolored ear shanks are frequently caused by root diseases the speaker added, even though the ears themselves may be good looking. Experimental stations have been unable to get immune strains within the varieties tested.

Corn that shows free from infection on the germinator is being put into new and clean ground instead. Even then Mr. Funk says the disease developes and clings to the stalks and on various weeds. For this reason stalks are frequently burned to keep the infection out of the soil. Rots or wheat scabs are said to be the same thing and transmissible from corn to wheat and vice-versa.

It is not known how long root infection diseases remain in the ground but experiments are being conducted by the federal department of agriculture to assist in clearing up the problem. BASKETBALL MYSTERY SOLVED The NEWS has at least been able to solve the mystery surrounding an organization of basketball players, comprising our town team, and which has been playing many games without advertising the fact very widely. Last night the team went to Hillsboro, twenty-nine miles east of McPherson, where they played a team representing that town. The outcome was a defeat for the local boys, after having played a hard and fast game. The score was 25 to 37, the Lyons lineup being as follows: R.

"THE Color, Life, Comedy, Action in Feature At Odeon Saturday A splendid picturization of "The Concert," the play in which Leo Ditrichstein starred for several seasons with such success have been produced by Goldwyn, and is booked to be shown at the Odeon Theatre Saturday afternoon and night. "The Concert" is a keen study of human nature and contains a fund of sparkling humor--its situations are genuinely laughable. It is the story of a middle-aged, temperamental musical genius and an impressionable young wife not his own-and their adventure as "soul mates." The musi. cian's sensible spouse and the husband of her rival join hands to teach the erring pair the error of their ways by imitating them. The result is easily forseen.

The musician begs forgiveness of his wife and the other woman rushes into her own husband's aims, permanently cured of hero-wor. ship. An excellent cast interprets the play. An ocean breeze of mirth before which even the "I'm not interested in life blues" will quail. Comedy, humor, suspense, heart throbs--they're all in "The you can't escape them.
