T. B. Gerow Now Says 26,225 Are
Wanted.

With twenty-nine counties reporting thus
far a call for 1925 harvest hands has
come in to IT.. B. CerOw. director of the
state free employment bureau. There are
seven other counties which were in the
million bushel column in 1901 which have
not yet reported. Some of these will nfcd
considerable number of harvest hands,
while others may not. There are also
probably some counties which will this
year be added to the million bushel list
which will need a few outside hands
The seven million bushel counties which
have not reported are Mcpherson, King
Montgomery In Mcpherson county the
Hessian fly is doing some damage and the
farmers there are doubtless waiting to see
to what extent the crop win be damaged
before putting in a call for harvest hands.
COwley, Montgomery and Marshall may
also be able to care for their own crops,
with what outside help viii drift in. with
out calling for it, but it would look as
though Kingnan, Clay and Cloud ought TO
need outside help. Then Jewell, Graham
and Thomas. which have not been in the
million bushel class may also need out
side help, but they have not called for IT.
The first harvest rate from St LOUIS,
Chicago. Bloomington and Peoria, Ill, will
be in force on next Tuesday, the first
Tuesday in June and again on June Is. the
third tuesday in June The rate will be
one fare plus two dollars, thst is one-half
Of the one way fare, plus two dollars In
order that the men who apply at these
points for this harvest rate may know 20
what points to go. Mr.. Gerow is sending
to the passenger agents in each place a list
of those needed at each point in the wheat
belt as far as reported to HIM

A Souvenir.

[This poem was written by Mrs.
Elizabeth Iddings, VIII recently died
at Euclid, Ohio. The lady was
Protestant, though educated at the
Ursuline Convent in Cleveland, Ohio.
On leaving school Sister Ursula made
her a present of a small rosary, which
circumstance evoked these verses.
Mr.. Sprecllcr, Presbyterian minister,
selected the poem and read it at the
funeral, as a fitting tribute to her
memory
| have a rosary, fair frail thing,
1t came from Rome. they said;
Its beads are tiny creamy shells,
And its links bright silver thread.
Ono fresh June morning, years ago,
1t WAS laid upon my palm
The touch of the hand that placed it
there
Thrilled like the echo of some low,
sweet psalm.
1t touched a chord in my inmost being
That rang q tender peal.
AS if all the saints in Heaven bent
down
And made their kisses real.
a gust of perfume, rare and sweet
All the dreams of good that my life
could hold
All pleasures of the past. without one
i'll,
Seemed at that moment for me I'M
rolled.
She said, in her quiet, kindly way,
My religion, I know is not yours,
Take this as an emblem of faith di-
vine,
With the rest and peace it secures:
At the Cross you will say to my men,
DRY
The Greed, or what you believe.
10 the beads, Our Father in Heaven
You surely will something receive:
1t may be a rest from work only,
A lesson in patience or trust,
\ reminder of IL hand you have
shaken,
That has crumblcd to ashes and
dust;
It's like the world we now live in,
a chain from beginning to end,
But it is only a pleasant one surely,
Like the chain of our thoughts to a
friend.
Take it, and treasure it carefully,
The lesson of Sister Ursula heed,
The cross you will always bear with
you,
The prayers, too, you always will
need.

A Christmas Carol.
Night in the far .Judcan land,
The pregnant air is still,
The Sky one blue unclouded band,
Seems dropping DER the hill.
The hills then toward each other bend,
Some mighty secret to portend.
Gloria in cXcelsis Dec.
The sheep in nearby pastures browse,
Some bleat as if in pain;
The youthful shepherds watch and
browse,
Then browse and watch again;
When 10! a light from Heaven appears
Which makes them huddle in their
fears.
Gloria in eXcelsis Dec.
Gods glory slone around them there,
And then an angel cried
Fear not, for good tidings bear
10 you, and all beside.
For unto YOU is born this day
n Savior. Christ the Lord" We pray
Gloria in eXcelsis Dec.
Then swinging from the skies there
came
Groups of the heavenly host,
Praising the Lord in sweet acclaim
The burden Of their toast
GLORY to God OH HIGH" again
His Peace Oh earth, good will to
men,"
Gloria in excelsis Dec.
Within stable sweet with hay
And warm with breath of kline,
The Baby and His Mother lay,
o, mystery divine!
The bed of straw a cloud appears,
We hear the music of the spheres.
Gloria in excelsis Dec!
Dear maiden mother, let us now,
While to your breast He clings,
In humble adora ton bow
With shepherds and with kings,
And at His feet our off'ring be
Praise, love. faith, hope and charity.

An industry from which some of
our people made quite a sum of
money, and others derived consider
able sport, seems to have been sud-
denly brought to a stop. In past
few years the hunting of ducks dur
ing the fall and spring has earned
some people good money, but under
an amendment to the game laws,
which was passed at the last legisla-
ture. ducks cannot be sold any more.
There is some question as to the
validity of the act, but as the express
companies have refused to receive
them for shipment, the boys are tied
up. For the benefit of our readers
we quote section one, six and eight,
being the three principal ones, and
while someone will doubtless make a
test case of the matter, we prefer to
let the other fellow do that.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of
the State of Kansas:
Section l. That section l, chapter
223 of the laws of 1901, be amended
so as to read as follows: ''It shall be
unlawful for any person or persons al
any time, except as hereinafter pro-
vided, to hunt, catch, kill, pursue, en-
trap, or ensnare any partridge, pin
mated grouse, prairie chicken, grouse,
quail, plover, pheasant, oriole. mea
dow lark, robin, thrush, red-bird
mocking bird, bluejay, blue-bird, wild
ducks, wild geese and wild brant
provided, it shall not be unlawful tc
shoot grouse, and prairie chicken
from August Is to October 1, doves
from August 1 to September Is
plover from July Is to September Is
wild ducks, wild geese and wild bran
from September to April 25 of each
year; provided further that thi:
act shall not prevent the owner O
orchards from shooting bluejays anc
orioles at any time for the protection
of such orchards; and provided i
shall not be unlawful to shoot quai
from November Is, to January 1.
BUY OR SELL.
Sec. 6. It shall be unlawful fo
any person or persons, company O
corpo- alton at any time to buy
sci, barter, ship or offer for same
barter or shipment, within the stat,
o. Kansas, any bird or birds nance
in section one of this act. The hav
ing in possession by any person, com
| pany or corporation, of any bird o
birds named in section one of thi
| act, except by a person who has law
| fully killed the same, shall be deem
| ed prima facie evidence of a violation
of this act
| PENALTY,
