negro, today told the jury before which he
is being tried for violation of the Mann

CALL TO ARMS.
All Western Kansas Urged to Unite in
Grasshopper War.

Governor Hodges today issued a
statement urging the county commits
sioners in all of the western counties
of the state to set aside one day next
week for a wholesale fight on the
grasshoppers. The call for a state wide
fight on the hoppers was prompted by
the governors trip through western
Kansas this week and receipt of a
telegram from Ford county setting
forth conditions in the western portion
of the state.
graSShopperS have caused thousands of
dollars damage to the crops. From
Saline county to the western border
of the state there is evidence of the
! ravages of the hoppers and in some Of
the more western counties conditions
are alarming.
This morning the following telegram
was received from the Ford county
commissioners at Dodge City:
"On account of the immeas ura BILE
damage which crops are suffering from
the extraordinary number of grasshop-
pers, county commissioners of Ford
county have appointed Monday July
IA, as a day for a county wide move
ment for destroying the pest by poison
ing. POISONED bran mash mixed &C
cording to agricultural college formula
will be furnished all farmers at coun-
ty expense and a concerted effort will
be made to destroy all grasshoppers in
the county on that day. The grass
hopper situation is alarming and unless
our example is followed in adjoining
territory, relief cannot be more than
temporary. We therefore earnestly
petition you to urge a similar move
ment in all other western counties inn
mediately."
Governor Hodges had just returned
from an automobile trip to Ellis when
the telegram was received.
Il know that conditions are just as
they represent them" said the COVER
nor, "and L hope that every county IL
the affected district will take i'm
mediate steps to rid their communities
of the pests. By a concerted effort, L
am confident that conditions can be
greatly improved and I am strongly in
favor of the Ford county plan.''
Three times this year the governor
has visited the extreme western por-
ton of the state. 1t was only on the
trip this week however, that the raw
ages of the grasshoppers was so APP
parent and the need for immediate
action made plain.
1t is believed that practically all of
the counties in the extreme western
portion of the state will follow the Ford
county plan and Governor Hodges's
suggestion and set aside a day for a
fight on the grasshoppers

EVIDENTLY HURT HIM.

This incident is reported by the
Concordia Kansan: can elderly man
and a young girl were standing on
the street last Saturday. The girl
was doing the talking and seemed
very earnest. The man looked so Sc
rious that people passing thought the
girl must be telling him something
which affected the life of a nation
itself. Finally the girl stopped talk
ing and looked at the man with her
heart in her eyes. He seemed very
thoughtful and was apparently
weighing some big question in his
mind. AT last his hand went slowly
in his trousers pocket and he pulled
out a quarter and handed it to his
daughter"

DANGER IN POPULAR SONGS
baltimore American Calls Attention 70
the Offenslveness Of Some ofthe
Pronounced Hits.

A current magazine asks fathers II
they know the songs their daughters
are singing. Probably they don't.
The music sounds catchy, and in the
tumble Of words the meaning is not
obvious, remarks the Baltimore
American. The suggestive song is
one Of the developments OF a day
when there seems to be general
loosening up in the matter Of mod
esty. Publishers put It out because
the public absorbs it, But do the
people really want such stuff, or IS
it that in the Tilt Of the music the
sinister nature Of the words is not
apparent? And yet young and old
sing and shout me smut song in
great glee. If the young are limo
cent, their elders can hardly be ig-
norant. Their Indifference and ex-
ample may be calamitous. There is
more danger to the young from the
suggestive songs than from the fash
ions of the day. Probably nine out
of ten girls take DO thought Of what
they idly sing at their piano, but
what of the tenth' Many an old
fashioned parent would be shocked
to analyse some Of the song hits Of
the day. Chicago is after the smut
song hard, and 80 ought other cities
to be. People should be ashamed to
listen to it, publishers to print it and
parents to tolerate it,
