AMERICAN FLAG
CONTRACT May
GO TO ENGLAND
Bunting Tariff Enables British
Makers to 0utbid Our Firms

Washington, May 12.---Unless Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels changes
his mind, all bunting for American
flags for the navy will hereafter be
purchased in England.
This is the latest development Of
the Underwood Simmons tariff.
Representative John Jacob Rogers,
of Lowell. Mass. has taken the mat
ter up with Secretary Daniels and is
endeavoring To prevent the award Of
government contracts for red, white
and blue bunting to English manu-
Tacturers.
MIR. Rogers action is practically for
sentimental reasons. lie believes that
the Stars and Stripes pre- eminently of
all things bought by the government
ought To be made of American bunt-
ing. ana he hopes To prevent this dis
elimination under free trade tariff
against the bunting manufacturers Of
his home city.
Contract Worth Only $4,000.
Recently the navy department open
ed bid for next years supply of
bunting and two British concerns gave
lower figures than the American COM
panies which manufacture the mater
ial and heretofore have supplied red
white and blue for the Stars and
Stripes. The contract amounts to
about $4,000 "a year.
Representative Roberts regards the
contract trivial in itself, but very i'm
portant from sentimental standpoint
In his effort to obtain the contract
for the United States the Massachu-
setts congressman is confronted by
law passed in 1865. designed to open
the door to American manufacturers.
but now actually closing it against do
nestle production. This law provides
that secretaries of the navy, treasury
and war departments shall invite bids
for bunting with the proviso that
the price must not exceed that at
which an article of equal quality can
he imported"
Heretofore the tariff made IL impos-
,sfble for English bunting to compete.
but the new schedule enables the
British To mnderbid. even with cost of
importation added.
Through Representative Rogers ac-
tivity, tests are now being made of the
British bunting To determine the com
parative quality as against American
bunting.
Repeal of Law Suggested.
The Massachusetts legislature has
before it "a resolution protesting i'm the
name of patriotism against rejecting
American bunting and substituting
British bunting for the national flag.
Congressman Roberts has also call
ed on the secretary of the navy to fur
nish him with a list of contracts, al
ready awarded or pending. which un-
der past administrations went to Am
erican manufacturers, but under the
Wilson regime have gone, or are going
to foreign manufacturers.
Representative Rogers will introduce
a bill to repeal the law of 1865.

Incinerated; Rescuers Hurt.

Kenmare--In a vain attempt to
save their 3-yearold child from crema-
ton in the fire that destroyed their
residence near here both Mr. and Mrs.
James Rued were seriously injured,
and the woman is in critical condition
from burns and the shock of her
baby's death. The couple were in the
barn when their eldest daughter rush
ed in with the alarm of fire. When
they reached the residence the kitchen
was wrapped in flames, from which
came the cries of the frightened baby.
Both were nearly suffocated before
farm laborers restrained them from
risking their lives further, it being
impossible to save the child.

over Roger c. Sullivan (Dem.). ac-
cording to almost complete returns
available today. The missing pre-
cincts are scattered in rural regions

today asserted that his plurality
would total 1000 or more. while Sui
Ivan still contended that the official
count would make him winner. There
was some talk Of contest, although
Sullivan's campaign managers said
they had not decided on such a move,
feeling that it would not be needed.

Crop Yields and Market Prices
To Be Determined.
ACCURATE FIGURES EXPECTED
Report will Be Published
Sometime This Month.
Secretary MOhler and His Men
Are Working Hard.

A report on what Kansas produced
during 1914 will be made toward the
last of this month by the state board
of agriculture. ]. c. Mohler. secretary
Of the board. has sent to all OF the two
thousand correspondents the blanks
for the final 1914 crop statistics. The
date of the reports from the CORE
spondents is November z. On account
Of the size of the report and the I'M
usual efforts to make 1t particularly
accurate on the wheat yield it will
take ten days to two weeks to compile
all of the statistics and get out the
final report.
The blanks were sent out direct to
the correspondents. who were urged to
be conservative on yields and prices.
Special note is made that the board
wants the average prices for all pro-
ducts on the farms. There has been
such wide variations in the past year
Of prices Of all kinds OF farm products
that the board is anxious not to get of
on the wrong foot in its report as to
what the crops were worth. On some
crops the price has been low at one
period and more than double that
amount at another time within the last
year, so the average price is desired.
And it is the price the farmers receive
at their farms that is wanted, not the
market price at the big markets of
the state.
The report also calls for an estimate
on the wheat crop prospects for 1915.
1t Is asked that the correspondents re-
port on the ground sOwn to wheat this
year, the increase and decrease over
last year. the soil and climatic condi-
tions and whether or not all the wheat
has been sown. A report is also asked
for on the condition of the wheat sown
and up and also whether or not the
farmers are holding OF freely market
ing the crop of 1914 and whether any
great amount is to be used this year
as feed for stock.

RATS ANNOY TEACHERS.
A Novel Argument Used in Fight TO
New Hutchinson School.

Hutchinson. Kan. Nov. 5.-Rats
will probably lend a helping hand in
getting new school building here. At
any rate, T. c. Smith, clerk of the To-
cal school board. has brought them
into his campaign for a new Sherman
street structure.
The building that is now being used
by the city is very cold and dilapidated.
Eight thoroughly feminine teachers
preside over the classes, and hordes of
thoroughly impudent and fearless rats
insist on coming to school.
You can imagine the result. Life
is unbearable. The teachers are con-
stantly laboring under a mental strain
and have to keep themselves in readi-
ness to take refuge on top of the desks
and other places OF the highest alti-
tudes in the school rooms.
A report of the building committee
has been submitted to the board of
education and plans are being made
for the erection of a twenty-five room
building, of the bondless variety. A
member of the board says that the
cost of the building is the only obstacle
that stands between the teachers and
safety from the "hcrrible rats"
