Red Dog Inn Up for Sale Again
Dain Cain, part owner of the Red Dog Inn, 642 Massachusetts St., said Monday that he'd like to see someone who would be a judge in a beer and music hall buy the operation.
The business was put up for sale recently after Cain and Jool Orthmann had owned it.
Gain said that once the sale was completed, he would have lost almost $30,000.
1" guess it's just being green and U-linking that you know what you're doing when you run into a problem."
He said that they could afford to keep the Inm, but that they had too many other things
that they were doing, and that the imw took up too much time. Cain is part-owner of Mid-Continent Productions and is involved in several other businesses.
Advertising was one of his mistakes, Cain said. He didn't know where to advertise, so he tried to advertise everywhere possible. He wasn't sure that he couldn't afford such promotion.
In the past year, the entertainment has included it's Beautiful Day, Arlo Guthrie, Commander Cody, Fleetwood Mack and Black Oak Arkansas.
Cain said he thought the Inn could be a real money-maker. He made the previous

owners, Mike Murfin and John Brown, had made enough money for one of them to retire the age of about 30 and for the other to have a large ranch in southwestern Kansas.
Michael Malone, an assistant county attorney and the state's attorney at the hearing, said that he was unable to locate any of the officers of Integra, where he lived or find out whether the corporation was chartered in Arizona or Kansas.
Cain said that if someone would take over the business as it is, "I'd be right next door, trying to help out every way I could."
Malone said that since the corporation officers could not be located, the fine would be assessed against the corporation and the judge would be asked to lien or judgment against the real estate.
The suit, involving a security and damage deposit, was filed March 28 by the Douglas County Attorney's office on behalf of Gordon Stuill, 3020 Iowa. A hearing on the case held Monday and the case was taken under admittance until Tuesday morning.
Stull said that either Intege or the managers of Ridgles failed to return the security deposit or to tell him that he had been deprived of treatment property while he lived at Ridgles.
Intone officers also failed to appear for two other suits pending against them.
The Red Dog used to be the largest draught beer account in Kansas, according to Cain. He said Brown and Murfur had been friends since 1950, and people at £3 a person to hear the Flippsers.
The building was originally the Bower-sock Opera House and later became the Dickinson Movie Theatre. Cain said it was used as a warehouse for Hallmark Cards for three or four years, and then was bought in 1965 by Murfin and Brown.
Two William Allen White School or Journalism and Public Information students have been named recipients of newly-created awards in journalism.
Cain said that he and Orthmann were selling the business and the fixtures for $9,500. He said that they had at least three times more than that in the Inn, but that they didn't want to price it out of the range of any possible new owners.
Beth Brother, Prairie Village senior, is the first winner of the $500 Wewsorth award, given in memory of Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary of the Kansas State University for 94 years. The award goes annually to an outstanding senior in journalism.

Former Student Faces Charges For Alleged Indecent Exposure
The trial of Michael J. Brady, 24, of 1600 Ky, has been set for June 29 in the Douglas County Court. Brydah has been charged with lewd and lascivious behavior in connection with an incident that occurred last weekend.
According to the Douglas County Attorney's office, Brady admitted that he had been arrested in Topeka and Kansas City on charges of indecent exposure in the past.
John Thomas, director of security and parking, said that investigators believe that Brady, a former KU student is connected to the killing of three teenagers in bionism that have occurred in the past.
Thomas also said that about 10 other cases of exhibitionism on campus had been cleared up, but no arrest resulted since the shooting in those cases was mentally retarded.

"This clears up most all of the indecent exposure cases," Thomas said.
Thomas also said that there had been no new developments in investigations of recent rape cases. He said that traffic and security had not conducted any 'selective enforcement' road blocks during the past week, but that investigators would continue spot-checking from time to time until the rapist is caught.
Owner Hopes Red Dog Inn Will Remain Beer Hall
Time Capsule At 60th Fair Depicts State
A 34-foot Sergeant missile—one of only two of its kind on public display in this country—will be erected at the 60th Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson this fall.
It will be permanently erected on the grounds and presented to the public today.
Areas represented will include business
education, education, farming, government,
forestry.
Each of the 105 counties in the state is being invited to submit material to be microfilled for a time capsule in the missile. During the nine days of the fair, materials from nine areas of Kansas life will be sealed inside the missile.
In the year 2013, the 100th anniversary of the fair's location in Hutchinson, the missile will be opened and the materials placed on public display.
Robert Teagarden, Kansas State Fair Board President, said last week, "Kansas State Fair activities are taking an unexpected leap in keeping a strong foothold in the present."
He said the missile honored the past 60 years of the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson with a product of both the present and the future.
"Opening the missile in 40 years to view the contents should provide the next generation with a rare insight into our present activities," he said.
Other new activities at the fair this year will include the appearances of Jimmy Dean, Sept. 15-18 and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Sept. 22-23. Barbara Mandrell, Johnny Paycheck, and the Plainsmen Quartet will appear on Sept. 19.

"The whole idea that the Kansas Union Bookstore is a nip off is completely false," according to David Baird, manager of the local Town Crier bookstores.
Baird said last Wednesday that book prices in his store were virtually same as the last week, but it would be higher.
Baird said that new book sales represented a very stable market.
The "remainder" companies then sell the books back to the retail stores and the book
"BOOK PRICES won't vary much, if atall, from store to store," he said.
He said that retail book stores can return copies of books that do not sell to the publisher. The publishers sell the returned books to companies at a greatly reduced price.

100 Jobless Youths Find Work In Community Summer Program
BAIRD SAID the used-book seller made more profit on each book sold, but that used-book dealers were limited by the volume they could handle. The used-book seller had to rely on his customers to supply him with books that he would then to build up a large volume, he said.
Bill Haas, manager of Burzy's used Book Store, said Wednesday a used book store could be very successful in a university town.
COBLER, A STUDENT at Central Junior High, said he thought STEP served a good purpose by providing kids with jobs and that they would also be involved in project churches should be involved in.
"I've always wanted to work on a farm," Cobler said. "Here, at least, I'll be working with small animals and washing dishes, and if I go to college, it will be good experience."
A year ago Dale Cobler, 15, spent his summer looking for odd jobs, playing baseball and just "bumming around." This summer he is working ten hours a week as a lab assistant of L. R. Draper, associate professor of microbiology.
stores are able to sell the books at a lower "sale" price, Baird said.
Carl Johnson, pastor of the Lawrence Human Resources Commission, said the STEP began as a crisis-oriented program created through efforts of the Lawrence
Human Resources Board and the Ministerial Alliance.
He said that the profit margin in new book sales was fairly small and that the Town Crier's profits came mainly from the sales of greeting cards.
Ted Dahlstrand, Lawrence graduate student, has been trying to line up jobs. It is often difficult to find jobs because employers are limited by laws or age
Johnson said STEP could develop into a well-rounded program, a springboard for many different youth-oriented programs, programs that would be year-round, where underprivileged youths could develop healthy interests.
STEP HAS NOT been an easy program to keep going. Johnson express doubts earlier this spring as to whether the program would survive this year, its fourth. Among other problems Johnson is fighting is apathy. There is often little interest in Johnson that aren't breaking windows, Johnson could have not been enough supervision or employers may have difficulty keeping the children busy and interested.
Johnson said he hoped that such programs would help help the repop and outwork of the community.
requirements, he said. Most have very legitimate reasons for not hiring young
Budget limitations are also a problem. According to Catharine McCree, one of the coordinators of STEP, this is the first year the team has received any federal or city funds.
THIS YEAR STEP'S budget is about $13,000. Lawrence revenue sharing funds received from the state and federal funds distributed through the East Central Kansas Community Action Agency. The rest of the money to pay youths in the community to pay player contributions or private donations.
Youths in STEP are paid by age. Children ages 10-15 are paid $1.35 an hour and youths 16-17 are paid $1.65 an hour. STEP will last two weeks for the job. Work involves working two hours a day, five days a week.
Johnson said the community would ultimately have to shoulder the burden for its poor. Churches collectively can help communities tie to the community together, he said.
"We provide a place where students can sell their unwanted books year-round, and we also have many books that are out of print and are harc 'o find." Haas said.
Hass said that he had about 30,000 books in stock and that about a third of those were in print.
ALTHOUGH BUZZY'S offers some damaged books purchased from publishers, the bookstore relies mainly upon books purchased from or traded from customers.
The Kansas Union Book Store depends mainly on the students for its used book sales. Beyond this, the book store orders new books from various companies, said Chuck Bills, manager of the store.
"We encourage trading books rather than just paying out money for used books," Huang said.
It is frequently the complaint of students who are critical of the book store that books that have been ordered by their professors or a particular class are not available, he said.
Bills said that this also held true for used books. If a professor does not decide whether he intends to use the same text again the next semester until after the buy-back period, the book store cannot plan how many books to keep on hand.
THE STUDENT does not understand, Bills said, that a book store order depends upon a request list from a professor. If a student wants to use the books, he wants to use until two weeks before the start of the new semester, the book store has no way of getting the books from the publishers
Another problem the Kansas Union Book Store faces is that many publishers will not
accept more than a twenty per cent return on new books, Bills said. This means that if a professor requests 100 books, and only 50 persons enroll in the course, the book store is left with 50 text books, only 20 of which can be sent back.
WHENEVER IT IS expected that a professor's book request might exceed the enrolment in the course, a file of past enrolment for that course and that professor is checked. Sometimes a request is cut as a necessary precaution.
"We carry 450 titles. It's a big job, but if the professors and their departments would get organized, more time could be devoted more effectively," the students more effectively. "Bills said."

Med Center Chosen Cancer Test Site
The KU Medical Center was chosen last week as one of eight sites for national cancer research efforts to detect new breast cancers.
Over the next two years the center will screen about 10,000 women with the most modern techniques to detect the disease at its earliest and most treatable stages.
Funding of $400,000 will come from the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.
system works and who is interested in knowing where his dollar is going will always buy used books whenever be can, Bills said, giving this example:
IF A STUDENT buys a new book at $10,
he will receive $5 for it when he goes to sell
it back. The book store may then re-sell his
books, but the student who goes to sell back the used
book he bought, he will get the same price
as the student who sold it back new; $5.
In effect the student who bought the new book
was the student who student who bought it
used paid only $2.50.
Bills estimated that approximately $100,000 is paid to students each semester for college. Students also received five per cent rebates on tuition fees and the books, the bills stored. According to Bills, students at the University of Kansas get a much larger amount than in many universities across the country.
The Oread Book Store operates much the same as the Town Crier and makes most of its profit from the cards and posters which it sells.
Stewart Nowlin, manager of the store,
thinks that student ablogging is another
punishment for the wrong reasons.

'Farm Life' Costs Rising, Agent Says
Although unpredictable weather has made a crop forecast for this year impossible, it is certain that farmers will be underpaid for their work, according to Oletha Blevins, Douglas County extension agent.

Farmers' products receive the same market prices as they did 20 years ago, while production costs have increased considerably.

IN ORDER TO maintain a status quo, the farmers must produce in greater quantity, and they must breed processes have made it possible to increase the amount per acre. Machines allow the farmer to increase the amount of land he farms. They can compensate for the difficulty of getting farm labor.
The greater production has pushed the little farmer out of business, Blevins said. Douglas County land sells for $500 to $1000 an acre. Machinery costs might be as much as $100,000. Small farmers can't produce that kind of capital, she said.
Farmers fall in the low-to-middle class economic range. Blevins said that if the time farmers worked was divided by their number, they wouldn't even be the minimum wage.
The need for capital in starting farms, according to Blevins, makes farmers laugh at any "back to the land" movement. They believe difficult it is to make a go of farming.
BLEVINS SAID that there were no more truck farms in Douglas County. Merchants have found it inadvisable to purchase supplies in the seasonality of products.
While it is necessary for the merchant to offer produces the year round, he can only offer some of them.
Blevins said that market prices could increase considerably before the farmer received a fair price for goods. High retail prices are often unrelated to the price receive. They are caused by numerous middle men, particularly in processing.

"IF THE CONSUMER wishes to pay less for his food, he must be willing to so some of this processing labor himself." Blevins said. "Few, if any, farm products reach the store in their original state and the consumer must pay for the refining."
"If he buys mashed potatoes in a box instead of peeling, cooking and mashing the potatoes himself, he must pay for the labor of it."
The meat boycott was an action that did not affect the farmers. Most were unaware it and those who were aware regarded it as a serious action that did not concern them, she said.
BLEVINS SAID that subsidies and similar measures would not help the far-right members are independent people and usually favor their want to remain independent, she said.
