Banks Full, Grain i'm Bins, but
No Men to Do Work.
State Employment Bureau Can
Not Find Farm LabOrerS.
WOULD RATHER LIVE IN CITY
Plenty of Men in Topeka, but
There Are No Farms Here.
None of the Cup at A A. M"
Trials for ISLANDS,"

Kansas farmers are the victims or
their own prosperity. They nave
money in the banks. Their bins are
filled with grain. They have a bum
per corn crop. But there are no men
to work on the farms.
Every day appeals are coming to
the state employment bureau. Yet the
Kansas farmer might as well appeal
to Mars. A. B. Danner of the employ
ment bureau might as well appeal to
the men in the movies. There are no
men for farm work in Kansas and the
matter of wages is a secondary con-
sideration-
For more than year the farmers
have been filling the Kansas banks
with real cash. There is today some
thing like 230 million dollars on de-
post in the banks of this state. Most
of the money belongs to the farmers.
They have bought new automobiles,
more land and more cattle and built
new homes. But the bank account
continues to grow. They have nearly
a quarter of a billion dollars worth of
grain and live stock ready for the fall
markets.
But No Men!
But what does it profit a man to
raise a bumper crop when he cannot
employ men to gather the grain?
The men who live in the towns do
not want work on the farms. The men
who work on the farms are employed.
That is the situation being faced every
day by Danner as he sits at his desk
in the employment office at the state
house and tries to find men for the
farmers who are appealing for help.
Wages are high. But wages do not
seem to appeal to the men who are
either employed or refuse to work on
the farms.
Won't Leave Topeka.
I'VE could give fifty men places on
good farms at good wages today"
sighed banner, as he looked detected
1y at a stack of mail from rural route
customers. I'VE simply can't get men
Every day a few men come to the Of
flee looking for work. Most of them
peka to work and we have no work
in Topeka to offer. The farmers,
though, are paying fancy prices
There are any number of good jobs
Danner says. pay as high as $40 a
month with board and lodging and d
chance to go to town Saturday after
noon in the family automobile or drive
$500 team.
Easier Work Now.
What is more, the work is not SO
heavy as in the good old days when
a farm hand arose at 4 in the morn
ing without leaving call and worked
until dark. Modern farm machinery
has eliminated much of the hard work
and incidentally reduced the number
of men needed on the farms. Wages
for farm hands, though, have gone NJ
and up and up and the crop of avail
able men has diminished. The wealth
of the farmer has multiplied.
Now the corn must be cut. The
winter wheat must be sown. The cow:
must be MIXED. The horses must he
curried. The grain must be hauled K
market. The cattle must be fed. BIZ

GERMANS MASTER SKY
Gun With Accurate Range of 10000
Feet FoiIS British Air Fleet.

New York. Oct. 2S.-One reason
why the aircraft of the nations of the
entente are not now making so many
attacks upon German cities as hereto
fore, is that the Germans have invent
ed a new anti-aircraft gun with an &C
curate range of more than 10000 feet
according to Lieut.. Paul S. F. Arbo1
of the British army aviation corps
who arrived here yesterday from Liv-
erpool. He was sent over to inspect
some machines which are being con-
structed in the United States and Can
ada.
"A great deal has been achieved in
aviation by the British government
since August, 1914" said he. "At that
time there were only 500 pilots. AL
together now, without counting the
number killed and wounded. there are
500 pilots in the navy and 500 in the
army, and when left France we were
forming our twenty-third aviation
squadron for the army. There were
forty pilots in each squadron and each
pilot has three machines and three
mechanicianS to a machine.
James c. Porte is now the COM
mander of the North Sea squadron OF
| aeroplanes."
