Wa-Keeney, Kans.,
Dear Sir:
As the time to begin to harvest
wheat draws near, the indications
point to a shortage of men. Last
year at this time this office had 2,818
inquiries mail, and 1886 in person.
So far this year we have had $40 by
mail and 156 in person. This shows
that there is not as many idle men
in the country as at This time last
year. / quote from G. L. Green. q. S.
General Inspector in charge Employ
ment and Distribution at Kansas
City, Mo.
fear there will be a shortage of
men if the applications received here
indicate anything at all. We have
to date mail applications from 725
men, and 312 men have applied here
in person. There are perhaps hun
dred men here available for harvest
work now, men who can pay their
own railroad fare. There are a num-
Ger on The way Gcres as KNOW out
in all / can see is about two thousand
men at the present time, or about
one fifth of the total in sight at this
time last year.
There are a great number of men
Offering their services if transporta-
tion is advanced. 1 know that this
cannot be arranged, but 1 believe
that some of the farmers would pro-
fit by coming here or Topeka and
taking the men out with them, de-
Quoting the transportation from the
pay of the men.
Farmers needing help should make
their wants known at once stating
wages they will pay. We will open
a branch office at Wichita at the city
hall on the 18th of this month, also
one at Salina on the 28th. All in
quiries relative to harvest help can
be directed to Free Employment
Office at Topeka, Wichita and Salina,
Kansas, also 804 Grand Avenue, Kan
sas, Mo.
Yours truly,
P. J. Mcbride,
Director.

Hays IrfIamed Over Attempted
Abductioa

Hays, Kan, June I1.-Because it is
felt that local talent attempted the
abduction of II year old Ida Wilson
last Wednesday night, while her par
-en1s we're away, and took her six
miles in an automobile before she es-
capped, the farming community six
teen miles southwest of here is arous-
ed to white heat of indignation.
The theory that the girl was walk
ing in her sleep was exploded today
by County Attorney Ed Flood, who
took her into custody six miles from
home although barefoot, her feet
were hardly soiIed. She had several
deep scratches on her breast, arms
and face, in addition to the gag,
which Flood is using as clew. Sher-
if A. 0. Robinson also points out
that he discovered her barefoot
prints beside a mans shoe prints
where she was forced to take to the
auto. Failure of the lights of the
abductor's auto as he sped away with
Miss Wilson upset the attempt
Miss Wilson was gagged and her
hands tied when the Journey started,
she was forced to get out of the car,
her captor holding her with one hano
while he worked with the other At
one Of these times she worked her
hands loose, the next time the lights
were attended to she escaped and ran
distance into a field of wheat where
she hid. She says she could hear him
swishing through the wheat near her
and twice he almost fell upon her.
Ii is supposed that he heard an auto
approaching from the south aud left.
Two boys, Lester Wilson and Carl
Kraus, VINO had been in McCracken
at the wedding of Testers sister, and
were on their way back to Hays,
found the girl after her abductor had
fed. The boys helped TO arouse the
neighborhood and sent word to the
sheriff at Hays. With guns in their
hands, A. w. Copeland, Henry Has
child, job Swisher and John Swisher
watched the roads until daylight.
Tie girl is Frustrated and the
lneig DoF..ee1, al. unusually quiet and
peaceful district is in tumuIt. The
remark of the would-be abductor,
when he gagged her in bed, ''Yo ou are
going where all pretty girls go, has
intensified feeling.
Later-By tracing the motor car
with which he is supposed to have at
tempted the abduction of Ida Wilson
of sixteen miles southwest of here
on the night of June I, Walter Poe, a
young farm hand, was arr sted today
on the farm of Peter Gillig, eighteen
miles southwest of here on warrant
sworn TO by the father of the girl.
Poe asked his employer to borrow the
car but was refused. He is said to
have taken it and visited one farm
house and is said to have invited the
two daughters for ride but was re-
fused. He was familiar with the
neighborhOod having worked for
years on the farm of Jake Kippes,
northeast of McCracken, and knew
that her parents were eaway.-Capital.

Wash Suits the Pinnacle
of Smartness

Those linens and cottons that do not
musS-the heavier crashes and SINH
lar weayes-in those colors that do
not fade, make up street suits for mid
summer wear that stand at the pin
naele OF smartness. They contribute
comfort and trim appearance and ele-
eance, all in one. to the summer ward
robe. and they are the delight of the
fne-grained lady. The best designers
love to work with these simple ma
teriais. and they strive for beauty Of
line ana effectiveness OF color In them
with results that are as admirable a ;
any to be reached In richer stuffs.
In the picture coat suit is shown
Of heavy linen crash In clear, strong
blue. The skirt is moderately full and
is laid in plaits at the sides. The
plaits are stitched down to the hip
line and hang free below, forming u
panel. fairly wide, at the front and
one at the back. 1t is finished with q
lthree-inch hem.
The coat bespeaks an expert in de-
signing, for 1t is marvel Of fine ad-

justment by means OF simple but
clever cutting. 1t is summer coat
in cut as well as In material, with
loOse-hanging, shapely body and mod
erately full peplum. IL is decorated
with small scroll design. done In the
narroweSt OF white braid. and hav-
ing the effect of embroidery. This de-
sign appears at each side OF the front
and at each side of the back. The
coat opens with revers, which are
overlaid by other revers Of soft pidue
in white. 1t fastens with two large
pearl buttons. The designer has al
lowed his fancy some license In fin
ishing the sleeves In an unexpected
fashion. The faring cuffs of blue are
supplemented with additional inside
cuffs Of white pique.
A suit OF this kind calls for a wash
blouse of equal elegance, and nothing
commonplace will do. The sailor hat,
worn with it, is OF fine black and
white satin made in the best manner
of the milliner. fine Panama Is In
the same class and might be worn with
IL. In an outfit of this kind one Is
dressed we'll enough for almost any
demand the summer may make. There
Is nothing better in suits.
