State Grain Inspector Says Kansas VIII
This Year Harvest 85,OOO.OOO Bushels
OF Wheat-Sumner COunty's Record.

Topeka, Kan, May 29.-State Grain
Inspector Mckenzie, who has just re-
turned from the Kansas wheat belt.
says the state will harvest S5,0O0,0OO
bushels of wheat, and that harvesting
will begin in southern Kansas by June
IL. Nothing can occur now to injure
the crop, except destructive storms.
as the earth has been regularly
soaked with timely rains. Inspector
Mckenzie and grain men say the
greatest danger threatened is dearth
of laboring men to harvest the great
crop of wheat. Sumner county alone,
which has an acreage of of $4,000,
will have to import at least 1000 men
to assist in saving the crop. The same
condition exists in 90 other counties.
Where the 10000 extra men will come
from necessary to save all the Kansas
wheat the farmers do not know, but
they declare such number will be
needed. 1t is stated that about 1000
harvesters will come from Oklahoma,
following the harvesting season north
as it progresses.

Washington, May 29.-As a result

of Prof. Milton Updegraff, and one
to Griffin, Ga, in charge of Prof. Slim

In Washington the weather was
slightly cloudy, which somewhat
married the opportunities for getting

eclipse. The eclipse arrived just a
few seconds ahead of schedule time,
but the irregularity was So slight
that an ordinary observer could not
have discerned it. The trained star
gazers claim that the contact came
from five to eight seconds before it
was due, but the difficulty of telling
just when the actual contact began
was so great because of a cloud which
passed that even they cannot quite
agree among themselves. They do
agree, however, that it was one of
the most remarkable predictions in
the history of astronomy, it being

Insanity No Cause for Divorce.

Rosa Fenkler asked the district
court in Atchison county to divorce
her on the ground shat her husband
was insane. The court decided that
Mr.. Fenkler was insane at the time
of his marriage and that therefore
the union was null and void without
divorce. Insanity is not aground
for divorce in Kansas, but the law
holds that an insane person is in
competent to make the marriage con-
tract, and that there is no binding
force about such a union.
