prospects for a hundred million busheI
crop are good.
From Nine to is Bushels.
From Hoisington co Great Bend and
kInsley, indications are for a fifteen
bushel to the acre yield, according to
the report filed with Mr.. Koontz
From Hutchinson to Iuka, respects are
for not much more than 10 bushels
while from Pratt to Wellington, about
nine bushels to the acre is exected.
Conditions lok much better, how
evr, in the vicinities of Pratt and
hngman. according to the report.
While farmers in that section of the
state were becoming alarmed over
prolonged dry weather, more than an
inch of rain last week brought relief
that promises good yield there
Damage from insects is compare
lively light, according to Mr.. Koontz
While green bugs and other pests have
ben active in various parts of the state
they have not as yet become a serious
problem to wheat growers Damage
as result of insects is not so serious
as from dry weather, it is said.
Depending upon increased mois-
ture in territory west of Kinsley. there
will be, in my judgment, surprisingly
fair yield for the state as a whole. )"
Mr. Koontz declares. Indications
point to prospective yield approxi-
mately as large as that of any previous
year excepting that of 1914 with the
big, crop of 10000. 900 bushels"

United States and of their conductors.
trainmen- and engineers will begin
here tomorrow a series of conferences
to settle. if possible, questions of
working hours and wages. Eighteen
general managers compose the COM
nnittee acting for the railroads and
they will meet four representatives
from each of the employees unions
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and F'iremen, the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, and the
Order of Railroad Conductors.
1000 Employees Delegates.
More than thousand delegates
have been sent here by the employees
and between conferences with the rail-
way managers, the representatives of
the four brotherhoods will consult their
fellow delegates. 1t is estimated that
the conferences will cost the brother
hoods $50, 900 A week 1t was said to-
day that a majority of the employees
representatives favor a strike only as
last resort. The workers, however
wish to settle the matter themselves
and are opposed to turning the Ques-
lions over to the interstate commerce
commission, a procedure which has
been suggested by some of the railroad
officials on the ground that since the
railroads would have to earn more
money to pay the wage increases de-
manded, the question of rates is in
volved.
Make Four Demands.
The demands of the workers are
four-the eight hour day, time and a
half pay for overtime, preparatory
time and overtime by minutes. The
engineers for the most part are now on
eight-hour time, and the eight-hour
time concerns the trainmen more than
any one else. Time and a half for
overtime is insisted upon for all work
ers. The engineers are demanding the
preparatory time, which means that
if an engineer goes on duty at s
o'clock and his train does not go until
half an hour later, he shall be paid
for the half hour he waits. The rail-
road managers estimate that to grant
the demands of the men would cost
them from 500, oo0,o 900 to s15o.00o.-
900 a year.

1-CENT DAILY MAY GO
Pennsylvania Publishers Decide Price
Must Be Doubled.

The increase of the price of one
cent newspapers to 2 cents was urged
in a resolution adopted by the Penn
sy1vanai Editorial association at its
forty-fourth annual convention, held
at Philadelphia. Mem bers of the as
ISOLATION, which is Comprised of the
Pennsylvania Associated Dailies and
the associated Weeklies. also de-
nounced the exorbitant demands for
free publicity made upon the newspa-
pers by motion picture concerns.
The resolution favoring an increase
in the price of newspapers to 2 cents
was introduced by ]. H. Zerbey, pub
Usher of the Pottsville Republican.
He declared that the advance of
prices on all materials, in white paper
and type metals made the publishing
of a one-cent newspaper Improbable
E. ]. Stackpole, president of the Asso-
ciated Dailies, said that the rise in
price for the newspapers in New York
and Philadelphia soon would become a
necessity.
The demand of publicity by the
moving picture corporations was
strongly denounced by the publishers.
The serial stories which many
movie concerns give to the newspa-
pers to use as novelized stories of the
pictures also were criticised as being
of questionable value One man de-
clared that the influence of the
movies" was IAN octopus that is

1t was the greeting of the west to
the greatest man in America today

A tremendous ovation greeted the
colonel on his appearance at S:55

When the Roosevelt party reached

for the fall election encroaching on the
various voting places, urging their
merits on the voters. Judges and cleo
ton officials were instructed by the
city clerks office to enforce the law
governing elections and to keep all
such solicitors at a distance.
The heaviest and earliest vote re-
corded with city hall officials was the
Sixth precinct of the Second ward,
where % had voted before o'clock.
Had to Use Candles.
In many of the voting places candles
voters and election officials were ready
for such an emergency with a large
box of candles on hand to send to any
place that needed them. Careful ar
rangements had been made by the city
clerks force to see that there was no
hitch in any of the voting places and
all was in readiness for the voter
promptly at o'clock this morning
when the polls were opened.
Less than one thousand had voted
up to the noon hour, the actual count
being 91S, in all precincts.
No Forecast
This afternoon at Commercial club
headquarters no forecasts could be
made on the outcome of the fireproof
election. 1t was rumored that in certain
districts where much opposition to the
proposition had arisen that a heavier
vote had been cast than in those pre-
cincts where majority lived, who it
is thought favor putting Topeka in
the big city league.
However, it was not until late
this afternoon that the Commercial
club men put in their effeetual
work. AT O'Clock in the morning
Judge r. M. Yates George Godfrey
Moore and E. D. Stickerman of the
Warren NJ. Crosby dry goods company
stationed themselves at three extra
telephones in the Commercial club
and continually called voters remind
ing them of the Importance of casting
their ballot in favor of the bonds Al
the same time under the guidance OF
]. Will Kelley, secretary of the Com
mercial club, they called various bust
ness men in an effort to get them to
donate the use of their machines
By noon the organization was well
underway and during the after
noon the business men of To-
