HOLDING wheat.
Freight Car Shortage Felt, Says
Topeka Boy.

Edwin A. Menninger. q Washburn
college student. son Of DIR. Z. r. Mem
ninger. has returned from Macksville.
In Stafford county, where he worked
for month In the Farmers' Coopera-
tive elevator. He tells an interesting
story Of the bumper wheat crop.
Mr.. Menninger said today:
'Macksville. in Stafford county,
town Of 600 population. does the big
gest freight business Of any place. be-
tween Hutchinson and Kinsley. There
are five elevators in the town. and be-
tween fifteen and twenty carloads Of
wheat are being shipped daily. The
Farmers' Cooperative elevator has been
full to the top several times-it has a
capacity Of $1,000 bushels. It has been
impossible to get an adequate supply
of freight tars to handle the business.
''The wheat is generally Of good
quality. having averaged NOR. than
twenty bushels TO the acre. Saturday
we got in 1000 bushels Of dark red pre-
MUM Turkey Red wheat that brought
q cent over the market price.
Tho farmers. are not doing much
thrashing: they are waiting for prices
to advance. Wheat and alfalfa are the
only important ops of the county. On
account Of the wheat failure last year
some Of the farmers are hard up and
have been forced to sell wheat. A great
many farmers are feeding cracked
wheat to their horses

college student, has been in charge of

Macksville, although he has done no
Menninger worked three weeks In the
harvest fields Of Harper county. The

ORANGES TO SHOW
Fine Group Exhibits Are In
Sight for Fair.
Secretary CLARK Enthusiastic
Over Prospects.

THE biggest and the best fair ever"
That's what Secretary Clark. of the
Kansas State Fair association, prom
Uses the people Of Kansas for the week
Of September II.
This is the year Of the biggest
crops in Ke sas. Notl .ng IS more
good crop year." said Secretary Clark.
Already we are feeling the effects of
the big wheat crop and the big corn
crop that is coming. Farmers and
stockmen in all Iarts Of the state have
written to me and are showing an in
terest. The oranges and other farm
ers' ! ORGANIZATIONS, are. making in
quiries. Alre edy three county ex-s
hibits Of agricultural products are
others who are planning to take part.
The farm machinery companies have
already engaged q large amount of
space for exhibits There is q big de-
mand for booth and stand space. This
shows that everyone is expecting a big
fair: They won't be disappointed.
The jonah las been buried. There
won't be anything but sunshine fair
week. We are going to break every
record for attendance. Watch for the
greatest number OF visitors to Topeka
that We have entertained In many
years.
Fine Horse Exhibit.
The horse show will be the big extra
attraction of this years fair. The horse
show is separate and distinct from the
exhibits OF fine horses for it will bring
to Topeka the finest eQuip-ges and
drivers and saddlers and high school
horses from the big private stables Of
the horse fanciers in the larger cities.
Horse shows have been growing in
popularity in other cities and the man
agement Of the big Kansas fair hung
up 5000 in prizes for the owners of
the fine stables to compete for. The
horse show will be the night feature.
1t will be held in q brilliantly lighted
pavilion 200 by 100 feet in size that will
seat 5000 people. Already a large
number Of the best boxes have been en-
gagged for the horse show, but there
will be room for all In the big pavilion.
The horse show, with a band concert
and competitive drill by the best drilled
lodge teams in the state, Will be the
nightly feature.
Another indication Of interest In the
Topeka fair is that there was the
greatest number of entries in the early
closing races that has ever been en-
tered. When the early closing races
closed July I there were z2S horses en-.
tered. These are all in addition to the
racers who will be entered In tho late
closing races which close August 81.

CHAPTER XVII.

There was a world Of Mexicans IN
the plaza when Hooker rode down
through the town. Never, it seemed to
him, had he seen so many or liked
them less.
TO the handful of Americans who
remained to man the mill and mine
they were easily hundred to one.
and though their eyes were wide with
fear OF the imminent rebels, they had
an evil way of staring at him which
he did not relish.

At this she broke down and laughed.
Evidently she was not so fearful of

Then, as he failed to show any signs
Of contrition. she changed her mood
again.

ished! Even as he washed out tn
gold Pills mind wandered far away
back to the hotel where Gracia Ara
gon sat watching by the window.
Her hair was the color of gold, spul
fine and refined again; yes, it wa
worth more than this golden dros'
that he caught in the bottom of hi
pan. And what was gold if he could
not have her?
He paused in his labor and dreamy
smile parted his lips-then he broke
into song:
Sweet honey bee, be sweet to me,
| My heart is free, but here's the key:
Lock up the garden gate; honey. you
know I'll wait.
Under the rambler rose tree-ee.
Once more he returned to his work,
humming now the dulcet strains OF
THE Merry Widow" and when Bud
came back from the cut it was to hear
coon song:
Cos want yer. me honey, yes, want
yer. want yer:
Cos / want yer, ma honey. yes do!
So he labored and sang, until finally
the labor ceased, and then the song.
He went about other things, and other
thoughts, not so cheerful, filled his
mind.
Bud returned sadly to the company
of the Yaqui and gave it up. Perhaps
his pardner had been right when, rid
ing out of Aqua Negra, he had en-
larged upon the dangers of Old Mex
leo, the land of manana and broken
promises. Certainly his speech had
been prophetic in regard to dark-eyed
women; for, even as he had said,
nothing seemed to please them better
than to come between man and man.
1t was a madness, he felt sure-the
spell of the hot country, where the
women look out from behind barred
windows and men sing beneath their
at midnight. Already it had
cost him his pardner-would it con-
luer his will as we'll and make him
orget his trust?
In his impotence the idea of some |
'erverse fate-some malign influence
yer which he had no contpol-was
trong with Hooker; yet when the
low fell he was not prepared for it.

IMMIGRATION SERVICE
is BADLY SHAKEN-UP
Is Imminent, Following Serious
Charges Made Against Several
of Ito Officials.

Washington, d. CA big ake-up
in the immigration service is immi-
nent, because of serious charges made
against several of it's prominent Off
cials, including F. H. Larned, Assist
ant Commissioner General, by Captain
Frank Ainsworth, an Inspector. in the
service, stationed at San Francisco.
These charges include unfair recon-
mendations in property purchases for
the service, lobbying, misstatements
to congressional committees, incom-
potency, irregularities in expense ac-
counts, destruction Of records and
neglect of duty.
Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Labor, admitted he had received
a report from Captain Answorth. A
thorough investigation is to be made
by the Secretary of the charges and
complaints, and the probe may be
sunk deep into other branches of the
immigration service.
