sailed for the United States yesterday,

2,o00-mi1e bicycle trip. through south

Italy almost from end to end, crossed
the ADennines, went over the Saint
Gothard range and wheeled over the
mountainous roads of Switzerland
Bookwalter spent the greater part of
his time living among and closely
studying peasantry, and he is thor
oughly convinced that crisis is i'm
minent between the urban and rural
populations of the world. In the rise
in the price of grain he sees the begin
ming of a struggle of the agricultural
element against the concentration of
capital in cities. This movement, he
believes, will commence in America.
where he belives the economic condi-
tions are inferior to those of Germany
and France, especially the latter,
which he maintains is the soundest
country in the world, owing to the
distribution of wealth between tho
agrarlan and metropolitan classes.

Other educators were unwilling to

or that higher education is injurious

RATIO OF SEVEN TO ONE.
1t Is Estimated That About 900 Persons
Will Register for the $4,000 Claims in

Ell Reno, Ok, July 1.-THE total
registrati at both Ell Reno and Law
ton will probably not exceed $4,000
persons. Among these $4,000 claims
are to be distributed. Last Tuesday it
was thought that the minimum reg
istration would not be below 100000,
but in four days only 2o,422 registra-
iions have been made at the two
towns-15,6 1922 at Ell Reno and 4,s00 at
Lawton. This is an average of about
$500 day for both places combined.
Commissioner Richards is of the opin-
ion that the total for the 16 days
would not be greater than 10000.

The CoIone1's Answer.

Lieut.. Col. Hugh L. Scott, of the
United States volunteers, formerly
captain of the Seventh cavalry, is
known in the army as an officer who
probably knows more about Indian
sign: language than any other living
man. AT one time Col. Scott made a
standing offer of 81 to any redskin
who could show him a sign used by
any tribe which he did not know.
The colonel is also peculiarly absent
minded, fact which was emphasized
at his marriage few years ago. As
he stood at the altar with his bride.
the officiating clergyman asked him
the usual question as to taking the
woman beside him to be his wife.
The colonel placed two fingers upon
his left eyebrow. After an embar-
RAISING pause the clergyman repeat
ed the question, and again the two
fingers went solemnly to the left
eyebrow. e was not until the best

Heat in Kansas and Missouri FRI
day the Most Intense.
Was 1O5 Ia, While Fort Scott Reached
Host. Joseph, Mo-, Reported liz,
and los Was Common.

Topeka, Kan, July 13.-A1I records
for heat in the "a years observations
kept by Chancellor Snow, of the Uni
versity of Kansas, were broken yes
terday, the mercury reaching maxi
mum average for the state of 1858
degrees. In Fort Scott the mercury
registered no degrees. The heat was
accompanied by a very light breeze
from the south which came as breaths
from a red-hot furnace, blasting and
whitening vegetation of all kinds.
Opinions and reports differ as to
the extent of the damage to corn.
Secretary Coburn, of the state board
of agriculture, a recognized author
ity, admits that the crop is prac-
fical1y failure.
While corn has failed, alfalfa has
given an abundant yield. The condi-
tons have been very favorable for
alfalfa, and it has established its
reputation as dry weather product.
Wheat is nearly all in the stack.
In many cases it has been harvested
only to be burned. AS many as 10000
acres of wheat in the stack have been
burned during the last two weeks.
The fires start from the slightest
causes, SO intensely dry is everything,
and when they are once started there
is no water on hand with which to
fight them.
Kansas is stricken with drought
worse than any since 1860. Queerly
enough, the usual order of things has
been reversed this time, and the
western part of the state, or "short
grass country, is in much more
favorable condition than the hitherto
favored eastern part.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 1a.-Anothcr
new maximum temperature record
was made in Kansas City yesterday.
Between five and six o'clock in the
afternoon the mercury rose to 1O3. o
degrees above zero. Reports from
surrounding cities showed the temper
allure of 10S to be common. At CO.
lumbia and Jefferson City it reached
III degrees. st. Joseph reports 112.
There is said to be little left of the
corn crop in Missouri and few more
days like yesterday will finish it.

drought in Kansas and Missouri has
played havoc with the live stock in
terests of the two states in the last

fact that more than $4,000 cattle and
