kansans have a proper concep
tion of the magnitude of the
berry-growing industry in this
state generally, and in the Jud
sonia district particularly.
The season here is closing now
and the records show that 65,312
crates of strawberries have been
shipped from here this year.
This means many thousands
of dollars to the berry growers
and work at good pay for an
army of berry pickers.
WIRE-TAPPERS
WORK POOL ROOMS.
Hot Springs, May 26.—The
local pool rooms which were
caught yesterday through wire
tappers included the New York
Turf, the Turf Exchange,, the
Illinois Club, the Kentucky Club
and the Southern Club. The
losses are upward of $15,000. The
Turf Exchange is the heaviest
loser, which lost something like
$4,000.
As a result of the coup the
Illinois Club tiid not operate to
! /
day and has announced that it i
will quit business for the time '
being, the prop etors not being
willing to take further chances
while the present system of gath
ering racing news for pool rooms
is used.

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
