Wednesday night. A four-reel pic
ture of humor and thrills is "a Sub
marine Pirate" a picture endorsed
by the government and using real
submarines and torpedoes. Sgd Chap

a sensational comedy thriller. A real
submarine and gunboat were used in

proval.
With the comedy four reels comes
a five-reel dramatic emotional film,

Man Who Held State Office.

Hill City, Kan, Sept 20.-Graham
county is the home of many families

farms and are making money. This

acres to wheat last year. He has been

bushels in bins. He estimates he has
about 5000 bushels yet to thresh.
Some of the crop was raised on rented
land. Mr.. Alexander says he will have
about $4,000 bushels himself At
present prices the crop would sell for
$4,000.

A three-days' flying trip through
Kansas, with stops and train-platform
speeches in principal cities and towns
between Garden City and Kansas City,
including an hours stop and a speech
in Topeka, is included in the itinerary
of the Prohibition party campaign
special carrying J. Frank Hanly,
presidential nominee, and Ira Ian
drith, his running mate The Hanly-
Landrith special is now on a flying
junket, the schedule of which takes it
from Chicago to the coast and re-
turn, the former trip being over
northern route and the latter route
being a southern one. The schedule
of the trip thru Kansas was an
nounced today.
The party will spend an hour in
Topeka. The train will arrive here
over the Santa Fe at 2:30 o'clock on
the afternoon of October 2. 1t will
leave at $3.50 o'clock over the same
road on the same afternoon, east
bound. Advance information an
nounces that Hanly and Landrith will

Little Chance to Win.
Despite the fact that leaders of the
Prohibition party have announced
they have but little prospects of win
ming in the national fight, in so far
as public offices are concerned, the
Hanly-Landrith junket is being
watched with considerable interest.
Hanley has stated he is not fighting
! for office SO much as he is fighting
for an issue. His attacks on some of
the policies of both Hughes and Will
son have been impartial.
Hanly is national figure that has
been in the public's eye for years. He
represented Indiana in congress for
several years and later was elected
governor of that state. Before affili-
ating himself with the Prohibition
party he was a Republican. Landrith,
on the other hand, was a Democrat
until 1916.

Be Financial Success.
Association Plans Many I'M
prOvements for Next Year.

Lincoln, Kan, Sept. 20.-After a
lapse of more than Is years the Lin
coin County Agricultural and Fair as
ISOLATION held a fair here. 1t was a
financial success, due to the hard
work and aggression of the associa-
ton. The new body was incorporated
in 1915 with a capital stock of $40, 600.
The officers are w. B. Middlekauff,
president; George Lyon, vice presi-
dent; ]. D. Ryan, secretary, and A.
Marshall, treasurer.
The fair grounds adjoin the town. AT
a large expense they have been put in
fine condition. Prominent horsemen
claim the race track is first class and
the baseball managers say the dia-
mond is good as money can make it.
All the improvements are new and the
large number of buildings completed
remind the visitors of a boom town.
Free for School Children.
The first fair here for more than a
quarter of a century proved so success
full that other improvements will be
made for 1917.
One day of the fair was free for
school children and a thousand stu
dents paraded thru the streets, headed
by the teachers. All the business men
helped to make the fair a success.
They closed their stores and offices
from noon to 6 o'clock. The conces-
sions were better than the ordinary
class of county fair attractions.

the 10000 mark, and parties came
from Russell, Ellsworth and Wilson
counties, and all parts of Lincoln

President Wilson's proposal TO con-
gress first to grant the railroad
brotherhoods an S-hour day (25 per
cent increase in pay) and then let the

rates again. Here is the farmers
view of the situation:
BY HENRY n. POPE.
President of the Association State
Presidents Farmers Union.
The farmers stand for fair wage
to both labor and capital engaged in
handling the products of the soil from
the time they leave the hands of the
farmers until they reach the con-
sumner.
This applies not only to transporta-
ton but to all industries engaged IN IN
serving the agricultural interests OF
this nation. We favor an S-hour
working day for all those who labor
with as large a compensation as bust
ness conditions justify.
Benefits Neither Capital or Labor.
For my part, I question the wisdom
of congress fixing wages of labor en-
ployed by private enterprises. doubt
if it is in the interest of either labor,
capital or the people to make the
wage schedule of railroad employees a
political issue.
"If the government is going to fix
wages for any one class of railroad
employees it should fix them for all
classes and if it has power to increase
wages it must also have power to Do
crease wages, and congress should re-
view the comparative inequalities be-
tween the different classes of railway
employees and make such adjustments
as wisdom dictates and do it without
fear or favor.
II want to make a special plea for
the $500 section hands who walk
their beats in storm and rain and
whose Drawn and brain make possible
our great transportation systems.
Their compensation is not sufficient to
feed and clothe their families and
their children are sentenced by Amer
lean civilization to life of ignorance
and poverty.
Next to them is that class of un-
derpaid clerks, station employees, shop
men and others whose loyalty and
faithfulness to the hand that feeds
them and whose consideration for the
public welfare entitle them to recog-
milton by congress.
And, last, but by no means least
there is one class of citizens whose
condition is worse than that of the
most lowly railroad laborer and that
is the farmer. There are four and a

BOOZE ORDNANCE Is LEGAL
Wichita Draymen Must Have Permit
to Haul Liquor, Judge Rules.

Wichita, Kan, Sept 20.-In a de-
cision, making permanent a previous
order refusing a booze-hauling ex-
pressman an injunction against the
police, Judge Thornton w. Sargent
held valid the city ordinance requiring
eXpressmen and draymen of all sorts
to obtain a permit from the city hall
before transporting intoxicating liquor
over the streets of the city of Wichita
This ordinance the judges opin-
ion read, lis simply a legal aid to
those seeking to enforce our prohibit
tory laws. To hold it null and void by
granting such an injunction I would
tie the hands of the police and render
of no use the laws we have against in
toxicating liquors.
