for this work when completed. The legis-
laturo alowed , out or the $50,000 aPIJrOpJ'la-
ton by the state , $2.00 ( or the carryIng out
ot the provIsions of housb roll No 13. Of
thus fund I slal amount remaIns un'x- '
pended.
"Tho other Items for office expenses WeS
- the expense Incurred prior to February 7.
when the appropriation by homo roil Ne. 13
. , became available to the comnission all In
receiving and caring for the splendid dona-
, tons made by other states. This expense
I then was provided for by the commls310n
outside of the provIsIons made by the legis-
lature.
"Tho commission realizes that many cri-
Ilsms have been made upon I antI its
work In the keEllng ot the olle open to so
I late a dale , but It was owing to clrcumutances
I over " 'llch the commtsslon had no ntrol.
I Under the provisions ot the act by which this
work was done , certaIn relulremtnts were
Illacet upon the commission In sections G. 8
and 9 , whIch have cost the commissIon
to date , In ofco expenses , clerk hire , typewriting -
r - , ' . . writing , blank books , etc. , nearly $2,000. In
the Judgment ot the commission much ot
this might have been avoided . but In the wIsdom -
dom DC tie legislature the e provisions were
necessary , even though they entailed a large
amount ot apparently useless work In the
olce , anI with the other provisions ot the
: bill , mandatory and not optional , the com-
i- missIon has been compelled 10 keep Its office
I force tabulating and copying reports from
. counties , that its books and records might
. present the comlletenCs : demandell of It by
; . law. Yet less than twenty cases have occurred -
curred where this work 'Ias been ot any
. apparent Rval , or where the commission has
been compelled In any IflnnO to refer to I ,
uml all of thee cases were ot minor hat -
t portance. But for these requirements the
work or the commission could h1vo been
endell MIY 15. Then It his been hindered
In closing Its beoks In accordance with scc-
tons 8 and 9 because county central relief
committees were slow In filing their reports
as required by section G.
"The record presented In the work ot the
commission stands In the history ot our coun-
try probably without a parallel In the large
amount of tonatc supplies and the marked
generosIty of the people. The way In which
the great sympathetic heart ot the world was
stirred In answer to the appeals sent out from
various parts ot the state Is simply maryel-
OU8. Then when you consIder that nelthor
the Stale Relief commissIon nor tte execu-
tive of the state lalle an open appeal to the
public for supplies , It becomes more ot a
wonder. "
COUNTY REPORTS HELD DACK.
"The commission , In presenting this re-
Fume of the work . expected to give not only
an exhibit ot the finance . but also an exhIbit -
hIbit of the ! UPllles donated , purchased and
dIstributed. But some twenty counties . and
, . many of them these receiving the largest
, - amount of supplies donated have been un-
' / abe : as yet to comll"t : their report to their
county board and 10 file their final report In
accordance with tie law with the com mis-
" 810n. Nearly all at these boards met dur-
lag this week and the commission has the
promise from the county central relief com-
mitees ot a complete report from every
county that Is today delinquent.
"So far lS the office work Is concerned . alI
the county reports that have been fed , the
report of the commIssion Is ready for the
printer Its report will show In detail every
cash donation and from whom received. The
distribution ot the $28,703.39 donated funds
by counties , and how expended for provisions , :
four , coal , garden seeds , transportation . etc. I
In lie same lanner the report will show In
detail the expenditure ot the GO.OOO appropriated -
priated by the state and the distribution by
counties ot the lrOVlSloils flour , coal , trans-
IJortnlon , elc. I will also a'iow the state
and the Places ' In the state tram which donations -
nations ot supplies were received. The rePort -
Port tiled with the governor wilt show also In
itemized distribution ot all the supplies , to
cether with their date of shipment and railroad -
road stations to whIch they were shipped.
The commission has not yet determined
Iether It has funds sufficient In the special
appropriation of the legislature to Include this
item In Its printed rel'ort. I the commls-
flon dos not print this itemized distribution
there wi be a summary made ot it . showing
what and the . amount ot supplies shipped to
each count ) .
"While not a part of the distinct work of
the commission , the report will ale con-
tain the distribution ot the $200,000 appro-
p. prlal(1 In house roil No. 525 to the several
, " counties , and a BUluuarlzc report from each
. county central relet commtte of the 11strl-
butie'o made by them of the amount appor-
ton11 to their county out ot the $200.QOO. "

Chase county was again visited by a most
copious rain , which wet down six Inchcs.
Its comIng .S very timely . Whie crops
were not suffering any yet , the top of time
ground was begInnIng to get dry. Previous
raIns have put the subsoil In splendid shape
and all that this county will need to make
its torn crop Is another rain like last night
In about two wceks. ThIs one will fully inn-
ture the cane and millet crop , as well as the
garden vegetables. Were It not for the rank
growth of the grass and weeds all over the
county , which saps the moisture from the
top of the ground , there Is now plenty of
moisture to mature time corn crop. I Is won-
dertul how the corn crop Is forging ahead.
There are many fields where the yield will
be the largest ever had In time county , and
Iho late planting that was put In for the
purpose ot raising fodder only will , with a
contnuaton ot the Ilresent weather anti with
a late fall . make good corn. Alhough tIme
acreage of crops Is much smaler than previous -
vious years , the oulook Is now that the yIeld
will be more than will supply home eeds. I
The fIrst rain of any conequence for almost
two years previous came on May 30 and all
ot the present crops were plantell otter that
rain. Time farmers feel eonldent the droutim
Is over and they are already planning to put
out large crops next "ear.
