bureaus are being maintained by
many of the farm bureaus of the state

vest operations.

tablished branch offices with a mer-
chant or banker in charge of the work
of procuring harvest hands for the
vicinity. At the, end of the first week
the Concordia office had assisted SO
farmers in obtaining help.
The Leavenworth county farm .bu-
reau, through its county agricultural
agent, P. H. Rose, is doing similar
work. Many farmers already have
been supplied with help and calls are
still coming In. Lee H. Gould, district
agricultural agent at Dodge City, re-

back Farmers Are Facing.

Jennings, Kan, July 11.-This sec
ton of Decatur county again is har-
yesting an immense wheat crop. In

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-With the submission today to the supreme court of three so-called white slave" cases. the question of future federal prosecu- tions for violation of the Mann law. when elements of commercialized vice or coercion are absent. now awaits the courts decision.
