STIRS THE
R%csig nation Of Secretary Chamberlain
Comes as Bombshetl

Resignation of Secretary Chamberlain
Comes as Bombshcti
The most complete CONSERVATION
was caused by the dramatic announce
ment Of Joseph Chamberlain's resig-
nation of the secretaryship of the col
onies. and 1t prevails among all
classes in the United Kingdom to the
exclusion of every other topic.
London newspapers are crammed
with discussions and speculations re-
garding the political situation brought
about by the resignation Of Mr.. Cham.
berlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Richie and Lord George Hamilton,
but no fresh development has yet been
announced. Both political parties have
already commenced active preparations
for the coming campaign and the opin-
ion is sought Of every man of prOmi-
hence at home and in the colonies
whose ideas are likely to have in
f1uence.
The opinion of the colonies Is anx-
iously canvassed as being the most
important factor in the situation. Sir
Edmund Barton. the premier Of the
Australian commonwealth, has de-
clared in an interview that he is
convinced that Mr.. Chamberlain will
ultimately triumph, and that until that
triumph is achieved there will be no
real union of the empire.
The Standard anticipated that Mr..
Balfour will have at least four cabinet
seats and two or more undersecretary-
ships at his disposal and strongly
urges him to make a clean sweep OF
the discredited ministers and appoint
men OF real ability. even such men as
Lord Cromer and Lord Miner, ii the
country would gain thereby.
The Pail Mall Gazette aptly sums
up the general feeling by describing
the present crisis as the most extra
ordinary in the whole history of the
constitutional government" adding
that what will happen mex no enc can
forecast with any degree of absolute
certainty"

FOR MORE WHEAT IN KANSAS
A Greater Acreage Than Ever to Re
Planted In That state this Fall

u. X. little of Wallace county, Kan
sas. made o tour of the wheay counties
OF the Sixth congressional district. lie
| says the farmers there need men and
| teams To- as badly as during the rush
of the harvest season.
Col. A. J. Rice said M. Little, is
the wheat king of Graham county. He
had in 5000 acres of wheat this year,
and will make $50, 1000 off the farm. lie
told me a few days ago that he will BIO
able to use sixty teams for the next
sixty days and that he will pay $3.50 a
day and board the men n teams. This
Is about the same wages that men and
teams made during the harvest. He
wants the help to assist him In har-
vesting and blowing for the fall seed
ing.
There are very few farms in that
section of the country which have not
produced between twenty-five and fifty
bushels of wheat to an acre. Where
they have produced n smaller amount
IL Is because the hail struck the crop
or It got too ripe before the machines
could get int oft. This is about an
average amount of wheat an acre for
the entire district.
The acreage which will be seeded to
wheat this fall will exceed that Of last
year if the farmers can get help enough
to plant it. They absolutely can not
get the men and teams now and many
of them are afraid that they will be
unable to get them this fall. This
shortage Of help Is the only thing that
will decrease the wheat acreage this
fall. The farmers are very enthusiasts
tic over the crops they gathered this
year and they are going to try the
wheat raising proposition on a bigger
scale than ever next year. They be-
lieve that all of the land In the state
will produce wheat and they are going
to plant IL in western counties where
IL has heretofore been thought impos-
sible to produce it. II next year is as
good a wheat year as this one Kansas
will greatly excel her former records
as a wheat producing state"
