WORKERS turn
TOWARDS KANSAS
Season on In Earnest for the Garner
Ing Of Wheat-s,0oo Men on
Route to Take Jobs.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Topeka, June 21.--With 5000 more
men en- route for Kansas from all
parts Of the country today, in answer
to the call for extra workers sent out
by Free Employment Director Harris,
the season is on In earnest for the
garnering of wheat. Some of the men
who have arrived along the southern
border during the past few days have
walked as fas as 800 miles from their
homes or college towns, in order to
get In condition for the work they are
expected to do. over 5000 of the
harvesters working in the State this
year are college students, according
TO the estimate of Director Harris.
The helpers are astonished at changed
conditions this year, however, espe-
cially in the central and western parts
of the State. There the traction en-
CINE has superseded the horse. Case
line produces the power that enables
the big wheat growers to cut from 70
to 100 acres a day. Because of the
drought in the early spring, which cut
short theKansas wheat crop, the grain
is ripening earlier than usual and
wheat not harvested will shell out and
fall to the ground as the big machines
cut the straw.
The greatest hardship falls upon the
wives and daughters of the wheat
growers, for the average farmer re-
quires from fifteen to twenty extra
men and 1t is no small job to prepare
three full meals each day for these
hungry men, to say nothing of the
extra lunches sent to the fields. Usual
ly the harvesting moves from place tc
place and the women of the neigh
borhood help each other in the cook
ing.

An Ironclao of 1885,

1t is generally supposed that the
first use of armor for battleships was
during the Crimean war. AS matter
of fact, the Dutch claim to have been
the pioneers of ironclad building more
than 300 years ago. During the ia
nous siege of Antwerp by the Span
iards In 1885, says J. r. Hale in ga
nous Sea Fights" the people Of the
city built huge fat bottomed war
ship, armed with heavy iron plates,
which they named the FINS Bell. a
boastful expression of the hope that
she would end the war. An old print
of the Finis Belli shows four masted
ship with high poop. But the yes
sci steered badly and eventually ran
aground under the Spanish batteries
and fell into the hands of their com
mander, the Duke of Parma. he kept
the FINS Belli as curiosity till the
end of the siege.

The specific charge in the warrant
issued for their arrest, and which was
secured by DR. Christopher Koch, vice
president OF the PENNSYLVANIA state

sold q drug called essence OF pepslu'
that was below the standard required
by the national pharmacopeia and that
the labels did not state that II was an
