5000 MORE HANDS.
Not Enough HaryesterS to Care
for the Wheat.

There is need for 5000 more harvest
hands at once in the Kansas wheat belt,
according to the figures of State En-
ployment Agent Gerow-
Mr.. Gerow this morning filed an
urgent application with w. j. Black.
general passenger agent of the Santa
Fe for an extension for a few days OF
the harvest hand rate. According to
the original plan, the rate VIII expire
on Friday. July 10. Me. Gerow thinks
that another week should be given Tor
the men to go to the harvest fields, ow-
ing to the lateneSS TINS year OF the mar
vest.
Within the past As hours. the harvest
has struck the middle and northern
counties of the wheat belt with 1ull
force, and the howl which mas gone up
for more men is something terrific. In
the southern counties, with the excep-
ton of Pratt, the demand for men
seems to nave been satisfied quite
number of the middle and northern
counties have given no notice OF Iurther
need for men, and are supposed to nave
enough.
There was a letter received from
Kingman today which fairly descrines
the conditions in many of the counties
no doubt. 1t stated that whlle tnere
was a shortage of hands, the farmers
were not excited or worried, but were
going ahead as fast as possible to mar
vest the crop The weather contlhueu
good, and that ndOe eNSA SDOUS 49,
SAFE -,
Ii the dry weather continues, it will
do as much toward saving the wheat
crop as an invasion of harvest hands
would do.
1t was reported to Mr.. Gerow that
there is a shortage of hands in ottawa
county He telegraphed to H. ]. Allen.
and Mr. Allen replied that ottawa
county does not need men.
Pratt county seems to be gong IN
with the intention of proving that
Governor Bailey was mistaken when
he said that there were enough hands
there to take care of the crop MI
Gerow has received several letters
from Pratt pleading for more help
Mr. Gerow thinks that a great many
of the men who buy tickets for Pratt
county and start for there never ar
rive They are tempted to leave the
4 train before they get there.
The following counties are believed
1 to be pretty we'll supplied with har-
vest hands-at least, they have not
demanded more men through the free
employment agency.
Kingman county, Sumner county.
Sedgwick county, Dickinson county, Sa-
line county, Ottawa county, kerton
county Lincoln county and Cloud coun-
ty. Cloud is unofficiaiIy reported 10
.1.acos 20J men. but has made no request
on the flee employment. agtEcy
The following localities need harvest
hands, the figures being the latest re-
ceived by Mr.. Gerow:

Probably it has been noticed by most
people that heads of nations visit much
more than they did "A half century ago.
This change in habits can hardly be
attributed entirely to the fact that IA
cilities for getting about are better. 1t
seems to be due partly to the existence
of a more friendly and neighborly feel
ing than formerly.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-11-14

The only fault to be found. from local
standpoint, with Edward Day Collins, adj
miFable little history Of Vermont, recent
II published, is with reference 70 the gran
tie industry. OF course, within the linz
its Of such volume as this, it is not pos
sible to enter to any extent into the details
of the upbuilding Of the state. That Is
not to be expected and no criticism can be
made OF it. But notable omission was
made by Prof. Collins in his summary of
the granite industry Of the state He
failed to mention Barre as a Quarrying
section sThere are quarries, the his
tory says. sat East Dorset, South Dorset,
Rutland, Proctor, West Rutland, Bristol,
Burlington, Pittsford Brandon, Middle
bnry, Williamstown, Woodbury., Dunn
merston, Kirby South Calais, Rickers
Mills, Beebe Plain, Groton, to say nothing
of the large beds practically untouched
which will furnish an unlimited supply for
years to come Vermont has enough
available granite to supply the world. =
The list Of places seems to be quite COM
plete with the one exception Of Barre The
only reference, whatever, to Barre is this:
.sWithin comparatively few years Barre
has grown from little village into gran
tie city, which is true. Bnt what caused
that growth2 Not one word In the con-
text would lead to the conclusionsthat
granite was responsible for II, except that
the reference to Barre is in the subdivis-
ion which treats Of the granite industry
Possibly the author left it for the reader
to infer that there is a deposit Of granite
In Barre, which Is being worked. And,on
the other hand, 1t is possible that the au-
thor erred in believing that Barre granite
comes from Williamstown, as that is the
nearest locality mentioned in his sum
mary Still that seems hardly likely, and
the conclusion is finally reached that the
omission was simply an oversight Per
haps the reference. by this paper to the
matter may seem of small consequence to
the state, but locally it is Of much i'm
portance. AS the leading granite quarry
ing center Of the state, and probably Of
the world, Barre should certainly be In

FREAK ELECTION BET.
Fat Man Makes Fast Time In Rolling
Peanut Around a block.

Vat Man Makes Fast Time In Rolling
Peanut Around "a block.
With a crowd yelling with delight
and a band playing furlously. Louis
Hoffman Of New York, who weighs
260 pounds, rolled peanut around a
lower east side block the other night in
payment OF an election bet, says the
New York Herald.
He says he broke all records for this
feat in rounding the block in thirteen
minutes and five seconds. This, Of
course, does not include the time which
was taken out for of side play" by
the crowd and "lost peanuts"
Great preparations were made for
the payment Of the let which Hoff-
man made with Peter Stark that Mr.
Low would be reelected mayor Of New
York city. Five hundred persons gath
cred In front of a saloon at GAO East
Thirteenth street at s o'clock in the
evening. Most Of them carried red Ian
terms, and they endeavored to make az
much noise as possible.
1t was half past when Peter Stark
yelled "Gop and Hoffman, bending
with difficulty, gave the peanut a roll.
Four active young men holding bicycle
lanterns in their hands tried to follow
the peanut in its mad flight.
The band was playing Marching
Through Georgia. and the peanut was
jumping along the sidewalk in fine
style until at Twelfth street and Ave

True enough, the peanut had van
ished, All the efforts Of the young men
with the lanterns TO find it were In

Luckily some thoughtful member Of
the crowd had foreseen such an emer-
gency and produced another peanut
Several times this one was lost. but the
young men with the lanterns always
found it. With perspiration running
down his face Hoffman was carried
into the saloon amid cheers, after hav-
