VANISHING Rural Industries.

The gradual cessation. one AFTER
another, of the countryside industries
is one of the principal reasons why the
peasant owner has vanished from the
land T%hatching and woodcraft have
been killed by rural councils, with
their craze for slated roofs, and by the
substitution of other materials for
timber. The cottager can no longer
even burn wood, but must buy coal,
since his 1replaces are not fashioned
for the consumption Of fagots.-Lon-

JERRY BLACK Will HELP.
santa Fe Man Appreciates Harvest
Hand situation in Kansas.

Governor Hoch received the follow
ing reply Monday afternoon from W. J.
Black concerning low rates for harvest
hands via the Santa Fe:
Hon. E. w. Hoch, Topeka, Kan:
We are always ready to render further
assistance to Kansas farmers, conse-
quently win arrange at once to place in
effect exceedingly low rates from Chi
cago as well as all stations on our lines
in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. As you
are aware we have already made ex-
ceedingly low rates this season from a
much greater area than heretofore.
The trouble seems to be that the de-
mand for labor of all classes exceeds
the supply. Hope our action today will
assist in securing desired help. Chi
cago papers have al made mention of
Kansas necessities Call on US if we
can be of further assistance.-W. J.
Black"
This probably means that regardless
of the attitude OF other railways, the
Santa Fe will give a cent a mile rate
for harvest hands to Kansas. It is ex-
pected that the low rate will induce
a large number of men to come to
Kansas from the smaller towns along
the line Of the Santa Fe in Illinois.

SHE'S AFTER HER DARLING.
Woman of so Goes to Harvest Fields
for IS Year-Old Husband.

About 45 or so men left Topeka to-
day for the harvest fields, but it is
doubtful if any of them We're on the
same quest as the one woman who
took the trip.
Sarah Gaynor, who says she is over
so years of age, wants to find a sweet
heart, aged IS, who deserted her in
Missouri, and started for the harvest
fields. She managed, in Kansas City,
to get transportation to Topeka. She
landed in this city last night and called
upon the police. They turned her over
to DR.. Van Horn of the Provident as
ISOLATION, and she was given lodging
for the night. This morning DR. Van
Horn tried to induce her to return to
her home in Missouri but she stoutly
refused. She said she was going
west, or not at all. There was nothing
else to do, so transportation to the
wheat fields was secured, and she jour
neyed onward In search of the recreant
lover.
I'VE were happy together said the
woman. although we fought the bat
ties of life. In Missouri we were en-
ployed at straw berry picking, and al
though we frequently had to sleep on
the straw in some barn. our happiness
did not diminish. When we did not
have money to pay our way from one
place to another. we walked along the
railroad. We were happier then be-
cause we could hold hands as we
walked.
He can not escape me- will not
give my darling up. He has gone west
to the wheat fields and I am going too.

Jordan, who is member of the
streets and walks committee, will pre-
sent his proposed amendment to the
committee and try to have 1t adopted.
Il think that it is time to make a start
In this business Of getting something
for the franchises which the city gives
away" said Jordan. Il have always
believed that the city should get
something for its franchises and
think that two or three per cent of the
gross receipts of the earnings of the
companies would be about proper. /
think that sort of an arrangement is
better than simply a lump payment for
the franchise. In Kansas City the city
gets a big sum of money from the
street railway company on this per-
centage basis of the gross receipts"
Mayor w. H. Davis doesn't think
that this is playing fair with the pro-
posed new company. 7 think that the
city ought to get something from the
gross receipts from the earnings but
believe we should treat all of the COM
panies alike" said he in answer to
Jordan. Il would suggest that we make
and adopt an amendment which would
put in this percentage of the gross re-
ceipts bat make it effective upon the
expiration of the franchise which ex-
pires last.
ITO put in an amendment which
would affect the Topeka Electrical COM
pany only would not be playing fair"
I'VE have got to start somewhere,
though, and we might as we'll start
here" retorted Jordan
