WON'T FOOL ANYONE.
fasteners Who Want Work in Wheat
Fields Know What 1t Means.

It is expected that the first special
consignment of harvest hands direct
from New Y rk City, will arrive in To-
peka Saturday. According to circulars
sent out by John ]. Bealin, the free en-
ployment agent of the city of New York
the shipment will leave New York on
Thursday ticketed direct to Topeka,
where State Free Employment Agent
T. B. GerOw will take them in hand and
send them on to those parts of the har-
vest fields where they are most needed.
In previous years the fasteners who
have come to work in the harvest fields
have in many cases been dead broke"
when they reached Topeka, and Mr..
GerOw has been obliged to feed some
of them few days to keep them from
actual suffering. Others who came out
west thought the whole affair was
great lark. and were not expecting to
have to do any work except draw their
wages
Of course these erroneous opinions
led to q good deal of dissatisfaction and
hard feeling, and this year the New
York agency has seen to it that every
man sent to Kansas is thoroughly post
ed on what he is going up against. The
following is the circular letter which
the New York agency sent out to ap-
plicants for work in the Kansas wheat
fields:
Work in the wheat fields of Kansas
has now commenced. A party of men
VIII leave THIS bureau Tor 1Opeka, Kan
sas, on June p. The cost of transpOrta-
ton from New York to Topeka will be
s2675.
In addition to the s26.75 required for
railroad fare to Topeka, you viii have
to pay a cent a mile from there to any
place Mr.. Gerow sends you. It is there
fore advisable and necessary that you
have money to meet this extra expense,
and also sufficient to pay your board
until assigned to work by Mr.. Gerow.
We do not guarantee that the men
will get employment in the wheat fields.
We simply send them to Mr.. Gerow
when instructed by him to do so. Nor
does Mr.. Gerow guarantee to get work
for every man that goes there. As a
rule, if the men are able to do the work
they will find employment.
1T must be borne in mind that har-
vesting in the southwest is the hardest
kind of hard work. and no one should
attempt to leave home and go there
unless he has been used to hard work
in the oDen air.
