Another important feature in the
case was the request of the City Health
Board for an appropriation of $4,000
from the city 10 combat the disease and
to protect Richmond citizens from the
danger Of infection. The request was
presented to the Finance Committee.
and was recommended for adoption by

Kansas Harvest Hand Problem
on Business Basis.
Employment Headquarters i'm
All Larger Towns.
NOTHING WILL BE OVERLOOKED
In Daily Touch With Situation
son Harvest Front"
Fourth of July Will Be Cele-
brated in Fields.

The harvest hand problem will be
handled on a scientific and sound
business basis by most of the counties
in the big western Kansas wheat belt.
In all of the more important towns in
the wheat growing district, employ
ment headquarters will be established,
competent office help employed and
an effort made to keep in daily touch
with conditions in the district.
Under the new system being adopted
by the towns in the big wheat counties,
the harvest hand problem will this
year be handled with better results
than during any previous harvest AL
ready definite information concern
ing conditions in the important wheat
counties is being prepared and tabu-
lated records of the acreage, name of
producer and number of hands de-
sired will be available in each of a
number of western counties the min
ute a small army of harveSterS step
from the train.
If there is work in the district,
the men will be sent directly to the
district where help is needed As
soon as the supply is met, the big
employment agencies and the state
labor bureau will be notified By the
new method, it is believed that the
greatest results can be accomplished
in the handling of the $4,000 men
necessary to gather the Kansas grain.
AS soon as the work of cutting the
wheat is completed in one county, the
men will be shifted to adjoining ter
ritory where help is needed The
harvest will start in the southern
tier of counties and the men who are
early on the field, will gradually move
north until the wheat along the north
ern Kansas and southern Nebraska
border is harvested.
Harvest Will Be Late.
In some of the southern counties,
the wheat harvest has usually started
June 10 to Is. Recently it was re-
ported that the wheat cutting would
be delayed until June 20. Last week
a report came out of the southern
counties to the effect that the harvest
would be delayed until June 20. Now
it seems probable that the crop in
Barton, Pawnee, Pratt, Reno, Ed
wards, Ford and other big wheat
counties may not be ready to cut be-
fore July 1.
That means the Fourth of July will

WAGES ARE GOING UP.
An Increase of 10 to 80 Per Cent for
Joplin Zinc Miners.

Joplin, June 7.-Threatened strikes
of miners in the zinc district are being
averted by operators increasing wages
from 10 to 80 per cent. Amongst the
more than 700 operating companies
nearly all have now announced in
creases for the men in the mines.
The phenomenal price of ore, which
sold last week at $110 a ton, has
caused the demand for increased
wages. The miners are not organized,
and the largest mines in the district
have not more than 100 men each,
while smaller mines employ from five
to 80 men each. The lack of organiZa-
ton prevents any concerted action by
the men and eliminated any danger
of O general strike.

DROWNED IN CREEK.
CoIored Man Loses Life While SWIM
ming at Tecumseh.

William Brown, a colored man "a
years of age, lost his life Saturday
afternoon while swimming at the
mouth of Deer creek. Efforts to find
the body made by the sheriff and
coroner Sunday when the creek and
river were dynamited were fruitiess.
On Saturday Brown left Topeka
with the intention of working in the
harvest field near Spencer, which is
east of Tecumseh. He stopped on his
way at the Earl Evans farm at Tecum-
sch and announced his intention af
going swimming. His failure to reap
pear started a search and his clothing
was found Sunday morning piled on
the creek bank. Brown was unmar-
ried and had not been regularly en-
plOyed
