other young friends. Mrs. e. w. and
Mrs. c. r. Dutton We're assisted by

weiser, superintendent of the Missouri
state Free Employment Bureau, with
Offices here. says Kansas will be asking
for 1000 men within three weeks.
I'VE are preparing 10 send the men
out next week." Schweiser said today.
BY that time we will know just how
many men each farmer wants and
where t. send them. Tie railroads
have not made any reduction in rates.
but the rate in Kansas Is only two
cents a nile.
Kansas and Missouri are not the on
ly states that have sent out the call
for men to save their wheat crops.
Nebraska, Oklahoma and the Dakotas
also need nler. The free employment
agencies of these states are working to
supply farm laborers. Last week
Charles w. Harris, director Of the
Kansas State Free Employment Blu
reau in Topeka, sent out blank inqui-
ries to ascertain the number Of men
needed in the wseat belt. The blanks
gre coming in now, and 1t is estimated
from these reports Kansas will need
between 10000 and 10000 more men
than there are now In the State unem-
ployed. Therefore the cali has been
sent to neighboring states and to the
East. -s-' To-.

inoculated, himself with the virus of
the disease, taken from one of the
vesecies that developed on DR.. Gold
berger's arm.
The disease is very prevalent
among river and seafaring men of this
port at present, and the health
authorities believe that it is due to
sleeping on mattresses stuffed with
straw. 1t was to prove this If possi-
BILE, and to allow Of close study of
the malady. that DR.. GOldberger con-
tracted it. He thrust his barred arm
between two, mattresses and kept It
there for two hours. In short time
the hive-like eruption appeared on the
limb and DIR. Goldberger had" the
straw disease. Yesterday he left
for Washington to exhibit his arm to
the heads of the marine hospital
service there.
DR.. James A. Gassoway, surgeon
and commandant of the public health
and marine hospital. who has been in
vestigating the strange malady, said
today:
"A microscopic object has been
isolated-a larval mite. found in large
quantity In the dust from straw. just
what it is has not yet been absolutely
determined, but it may be soon"

er-ln-Law OF His Son.
Philadelphia. March "A uniqus
matrimonial affair has resulted here
Miss Harriet Wismer, eighteen years
OF age. and DR.. A. II. Henderson, sixty
three, have been united i'm marriage
Some time ago Miss Wismer's sis
ter. Catherine, who is eleven years
older than herself, became the wife
of the son of the bridegroom Thus
Miss Harriet Wismer became her sis
ters stepmother-in-law. She also be-
came the stepmotner of her brother.
in-law, while DR.. Henderson's son be-
came his brother-in-law Should the
junior Henderson have any children
they would be the stepnieces or neph.
ews of their paternal grandfather, and
full nieces or nephews of their step
grandmother. Children of the senior
Mrs. Henderson would be halfbrothers
or sisters to their aunt, while their
own mother, being stepmother to their
half-uncle, would be their great aunt,
and, therefore. be her niece.
Nevertheless, both families feel sure
that the complicated combination OF
the relations will work tremendously.
The Rev. Harry NJ. Cook, associate
pastor of the Grace Baptist temple,
performed the ceremony at the brides
home. A reception followed, after
which the bride and bridegroom spent
their honeymoon in Washington,
where they witnessed the inaugural
ceremonies.
DR.. Henderson has been treasurer
of the Sunday Breakfast association
for many years. and he has also been
interested in charitable work in all
parts of Philadelphia.
