Eastern and Central Kansas TO Aid
Impoverished Districts.
wRsTERN Kansas IS HARD ave
Elevators WIN Collect and Distribute
and Railroads win Haul 1t
Free-SOme Counties
Have No Crops.

Topeka, Aug. Farmers OF
eastern and central Kansas will be
asked to give seed wheat to the
farmers of the western counties
where the recent crop was almost
complete failure, according to a
plan launched by E. j. Smiley, sec
rotary of the Kansas Grain Dealers
association. Kansas is amply able
to take care of her own people, Mr..
Smiley believes, and no appeals Will
be made to the farmers of other
states, and Kansas farmers will not
be called upon for heavy individual
contributions.
Little has been said about the
conditions of the farmers OF some
OF the western counties following
the failure of their wheat crop this
year, but according to reports re-
ceived by Mr.. Smiley the conditions
are bad in several counties, and none
too good in several others. Mr..
Smiley will start on a trip to west
ern Kansas today where he will
spend about a week Investigating
actual conditions.
The time for planting fall wheat
for next summers crop is now close
at hand, and Mr.. Smiley is Of the
opinion that whatever needs to be
done to give the hardest hit west
ern farmers a chance must be done
this month. The farmers of east
ern and central Kansas, where the
wheat in most places made a pretty
good crop, will be asked, according
to Mr.. Smiley's PLAN to give the
seed wheat which the more unfor-
tunate western wheat farmers need
to put in their crops. The grain
dealers and elevator men of eastern
and central Kansas have promised
the Kansas Grain Dealers associa-
ton to collect this seed wheat and
load it for shipment while the rail-
roads have offered to haul 1t to-
western Kansas without charge. In
western Kansas 1t will be distribute
ed by local merchants and elevators
at no expense.
1.-The farmers in eastern and CEN
trail Kansas, where the wheat made
a pretty good crop, do not realize
conditions in western Kansas" said
Mr.. Smiley. elm some counties many
farmers did not harvest bushel d
wheat, and later dry weather has
made the fate Of their fields of
kaffir and milo rather doubtful.
These farmers need help to hang
on. A good crop will put them on
their feet. We have received re-
ports from our regular correspon-
dents in these counties, and this
week / am going to Cove, Ness, Lo-
gan, Wallace, Lane and possibly
Sheridan counties to interview the
boards of county commissioners and
find out the actual state of affairs
and what is needed.
"The county clerk of Cove county |
wrote to me that there were 10000
acres planted to wheat in that couE-
ty last fall, and that the total amount
of wheat threshed in that county
was less than 10000 bushels"

final BATTLE
TO STANFORD
10y Ineffective but His Support
Was Weak and Hits Came
After Side Should Have
Been Retired

St Louis was slaughtered by Stan
ford at MoiliIli Saturday afternoon.
The result was IA to 6, and taken from
a broad angle, the score just about
represented the class Of ball that was
sprung on the faithful fans. It's sad
but true, that the loyal crowd Of base
ball enthusiasts who turned cut for
the entire Stanford series at Moiliili,
didn't see one decent game of ball.
with the possible exception of the OPP
ening contest. and that was so slow
that much of the interest was killed.
The Punahous proved helpless with
out the pitching and moral support of
Captain Castle, and the St. Louis
team played like bunch of bushers
in all three games. They did them
selves out of the first by grabbing,
and couldn't play fast enough to win
the other two.
Saturday Barney Joy was made the
goat. but in justice to the big fellow
1t should be noted that many of the
hits charged against him came after
the side should have retired. Five
errors of the heartbreaking variety.
were made behind Barney, and this,
coupled with his wildness, and the
fusillade of 16 hits, meant curtains
for the Saints. When Barney tried to
put on speed, he committed all sorts
of battery errors, and he, Raphael, and
france were snarling at each other
most of the time.
In the ninth Joy and Dent came to-
gether at the plate with a sickening
thud, and some of the fans were in
clined to roast the St Louis HEAVIER
for rough stun, but as matter of fact
the collision was unintentional, and
Joy was in no way to blame. Dent
took chance when he stood in the
line to block him of. and Barney had
to come In standing. The smash was.
so hard that Joy catapulted right over
Dents shoulders, flying clear Of the
plate, and having to stagger back and
touch the rubber. Dent was laid out
cold, and it looked for while as
though he was seriously hurt, his
neck having received a nasty twist
Workman donned the mask, Argabrite
coming in to play the bag, while Man.
ager Wilcox took the latter's place at
center. Beeger left for the Coast last
week, leaving the team with only nine
regulars, SO it was necessary to throw
the little manager into the breech.
There was one piece of dirty ball,
however, and that was in the eighth
inning. when McCloskey hit a long
fly to the outfield. As he came by
second base, looked around to-
see where the ball was, and c.
Moriyama, edging onto the path,
gave him the shoulder in such a way
that the cardinal third sacker went
down for very hard fall. 1t was nee
essary to apply homeopathic doses of
water. brought onto the field In a tea
cup, before McCloskey came to.
The game was practically cinched
before the eighth, but that was an
awful frame for the Saints, three hits
netting six runs St Louis made a.
flash in the ninth and put two men
across, but had no chance of cutting
down so long lead
Stayton and Ringland umpired, and
there was no undue kicking.

On to second. The ball was relayeG
to Terry, but the Stanford captain
hung onto it too long, and Tony got
back to first. Souza singled to left,

who threw to second for the force
Terry was going so fast, however,
that he oyerran the bag before he
caught the ball, and everyone was
safe. A moment later Souza was nail
ed, and the next man was ar infield
out.
Bushnell played star game for the
winners, and made a number of very
snappy assists. Bush is a fine judge
of time and pace. and If he juggles a
a ball in knocking II down. he doesn't
let 1t worry him into hurrying the
throw. He takes plenty of time but
the ball always get there well in front
of the runner.
Workman on first for the cardinals
played pretty game. holding several
wide ones without being pulled on
the bag, and twice making a put-out
unassisted by throwing himself feet
first into the bag before the runner.
The Portuguese made a desperate
effort to bat in the winning run Of the
tenth, when Dick Joseph went into
bat for zamiska, with two gone and a
man on second. He swung his head
on at three called strikes. however.
When the team took the field again,
Scott came from center to second,
while Joseph went to center.

Punchbowl was out last night.
So was Darktown. 1t was SCOTS
base running that brought home the
bacon.
Zamiska made pretty scoop of Ma

frame.
In the seventh, McClosky's fly to
right was foul by yard, although
some fans thought it was muffed on
fair ground.
Bushnell completed a double in the
fifth that didn't count, as the first out
retired the side. He touched second
with Gragg's grounder, and fired the
ball to first in time to have caught
Terry.
In spite of the shaking up he re-
ceived Saturday, Dent caught a first
class game for Stanford. He didn't
have to block of anyone at the plate
though, and must have been relief.
Medeiros' quick return ball caught
the college batters mapping a number
of times. especially in the third inn

Cass went almost to center to mai
