actuated by a twofold purpose.
The first is to render a service to
the public by disclosing the identities
and undertakings of the men at the
head of the most powerful business
organization in the United States and
their allies among officials of the
United States government.
The second and the most important
purpose of his determination to make
public the disclosures that follow, is to
compel reform, through legislation, of
the evils revealed by him.
He says in his narrative, among
other things, that the National As
sociation of Manufacturers has a
membership of 225 organizations, en-

Raid Fields of Forage of Kansas
Farmers-LoSs Heavy.

Oberlin, Kan. Sept. 22-The black
birds are denuding fields of feterita
Kaffir corn and milo maize through
out this county. They flock to the
fields by thousands and the loss from
their depreciation will be great. Par
ticularIy it is true of feterita, which is
being tried out here and which has
yielded abundantly, despite the dry
weather, and which every farmer who
has it wants to preserve for seed. The
only way to save the crop so far is to
get it under cover, although wire net
tings have been used by some.
