Eastern Colleges VIII Send
Athletes to Kansas.
Entire Football Squads to APP
pear for Harvest.

Rah rah boys from a dozen big
eastern colleges are coming to Kansas

crop. Letters received by ]. G. MOhl-
Pr, secretary of the state board of ag-
riculture, indicate that some of the
big schools may send their football
and athletic stars west for a mid
summer training on a Kansas wheat
stack.
For several weeks letters have been
coming to Topeka indicating that the
big schools would be represented in
harvesting the 1915 wheat crop. Now
organizations are being formed in sew
of sending delegations to help gather
the Kansas grain. To all of the in
quiries, a cordial welcome has been
extended. The letters have been turn
ed over to z. G. Hopkins of the state
employment bureau and he has urged
the collegianS to come to the state.
Among the western Kansas wheat
growers the college boys receive a roy
al welcome. The rah rah chappies

than those paid the average harvest
ers. Because of this announcement,
several hundred Greek letter boys will

KATY FORCED TO
DEFICIT IN 1914
Railway Statistic1an Tells of
Losses in Kansas.
No Money in Either Glass of
Business Here.
1T WAS A PATHETIC STORY
Wages to Employees Eat Up
Revenue, He Said.
Reduced M. *. & T. Property
Valuation by 100000.

Members of the public utilities COM
mission heard another hard luck
story regarding railroad operation
when Earl w. Peabody of ST. Louis,
statistician for the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway, told the commission
that his road was forced to meet a de-
ficit in 1914 of $232,47S.76 on its 440
miles of road in Kansas. Peabody tes-
titled that last year his company lost
money both on state freight and pas
senger business, while in 1913 it
was forced to meet a s175,S65 freight
loss with a passenger earning of
slightly more than one-fifth of one per
cent.
Peabody was called to the stand to-
day at the opening of the third week
of the passenger rate hearing. His
sorrow song was added to that Of the
Rock Island, Frisco, Missouri Pacific
and even the supposedly prosperous
Santa Fe. None of the stories of rail-
road operation told in figures before
the utilities commission has been
more pathetic from a business stand

cal option elections in 26 towns and
villages in Illinois yesterday were her

ers today. Eleven towns were swept
into the dry column, abolishing about
eighty saloons, and all previously dry
territory was retained with the excep-
ton of Flanagan, Livingston county
which changed from dry to wet. The
vets retained twelve towns and viii
lagos. Votes of women proved to be
the controlling factor at several
places. In Litchfield fifteen saloons
were wiped out by women. In Otta-
wa, however, where the issue was bit
terly contested, the women furnished
I'll votes towards the wet majority of
1910. F'orty-eight saloons were re-
tanned.
Figures provided by F. Scott Nc

time"

J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Com
mercial club, who made snappy
talk. 'T have never seen the time in

Judge Arthur McCabe. ''In those days

Chairman Stone, land she certainly

Another good pledge was $1,000 by

London, April 21.-A land and sea
attack on the Dardanelles on larger
scale than at any time since the allies
began their effort to win Constantine
pie, apparently is imminent. Berlin
reports 10000 British and French
troops have been landed on the north
shore of the Gulf of Saros, European
Turkey, indicating land operations are
actually under way. This force pre-
sumably will be employed for an at
tack from the rear of the Turkish for
tifications along the European side of
the straits, at the same time that
bonn bardment from the sea is under
taken by the allied fleet.
Additional British troops are arriv-
ing daily from Egypt on transports at
the Island of Lemnos, west of the
entrance to the Dardanelles. No
heavy fighting has taken place since
the attempts to force the straits
month ago, in which two British and
two French battleshipS were lost. An
official statement from Constantine
pie says six torpedo boats attempted
to penetrate the straits Monday night,
and yesterday there was an engage
ment between warships and Turkish
ton with the landing of troops.

Austria is reported to be cOncen-
