2OO,OO0,0OO BUSHELS OF
WHEAT IN KANSAS IN 1878

"2O0,OOO,OOO bushels Of wheat for
Kansas in 1913"
This is the Kansas war-cry, and Il
is one of the central thoughts grouped
around the international Wheat Show
and Food Conservation Congress.
The farmers of Kansas have enlist
cd in the war and now form vast
army, equipped with tractors and
plOws. They are breaking sod and
preparing the soil for the biggest
wheat crop the state has ever seen, SO
that Kansas may do its share in win
ming the war.
Could anything be more fitting and
proper than an exposition in the very
heart of the wheat-producing district.
at this particular time, that exposi-
tion to show what the state is doing?
Wheat raising is important at any
time, and doubly and triply so in war
time. At Wichita from October to
13, 1917, the economic authorities of
the world may come and obtain a
concise idea of what the greatest win
ter wheat state in the world, in fact
the whole wheat district, is going to
do to help win the war for democracy.
Any one who misses this great ex-
position is missing one of the most
historic and dramatic events of the
war. For it will signify the mar
shaling of the food army in the final
great drive.
An agitation for the increase Of
wheat acreage in Kansas for 1918
went out from Wichita Immediately
after war was declared. Wichita is
close to the heart of the great wheat
belt and its mills and elevators are
among it's greatest industries. The
Kansas Council of Defense, through
the very effective efforts of its presi-
dent, DR.. H. j. Waters, who is also
president of the International Wheat
Show and Food Conservation Con-
gress, has adopted a plan which is
being enthusiastically taken up by tha
farmers and business men of the
state, and the great drive is on.
Come to Wichita in October and see
the full meaning of this mammoth un-
dertaking.

BRANDEGEE. WANTS
 ALIENS IN DRAFT
Should Be Required to Do Their Share
 in This War.

During the discussion of the avia- ton bill in the senate just before it's passage Senator Brandegee objected to the addition of an amendment proposed by Senator Calder of New York, making aliens available for draft into the military service of the United States. MT. Brandegee said that in his opinion the exclusion from powers with which we are at peace passage of the draft law. But noth- ing must be allowed to interfere with the speedy passage of the pending aviation bill nd he did not want to he was withholding a very important amendment which he had intended to propose but which he would offer as joint resolution some other time.
 The only thing I want" he said, is to be assured that some action can be taken by this congress so that aliens may be required to do their share in this war in time to effect say that the whole thing can be cor rected in the next draft that is to be made, they may correct it so far as the country and so far as the mass of the people in states are concerned, if they can give credit for the extra number that they &ave sent in this draft over what they ought to have sent if it had been based upon pop ulation; but that is very poor conso- lation to the poor devil who has been drafted and sent to the front and killed when he would not have been drafted if the population of his state had been correctly estimated. That cannot be corrected"
 He urged the early consideration of the proposed amendment as separate proposition and promised to support it with all his power. Sena- tor Calder withdrew his amendment and the aviation bill was passed.
 The amendment offered is the same IS the senate joint resolution offered by Senator Chamberlain earlier in the week and which is now pending It provides that in the execution of the se1ective draft authorized by act of congress that all aliens resident of the United States for more than one alien subjects of any country, who have not declared their intention to become citizens shall be subject to be drafted for military service upon the same terms and under the same con ditions as citizens of the United States. It is provided that aliens who are subjects Of countries with which the United States has treaties ex- empting it's subjects from compulsory or other military service shall be ex- empt from the draft upon the appli- cation of the diplomatic representa- lives of such country: Provided that aliens who claim such exemption shall be allowed to depart from the United States within 90 days from the allowance of their claim for exemp- ton or shall be deported if remaining within the United States beyond that time.
 It is the opinion of many senators that this resolution will be called up and adopted before the expiration of the present week.

NEW ELECTRIcS FOR
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Will Be Capable of Hauling Twelve
 Car Trains 70 Miles an Hour.

Gigantic new electric engines capa- ble of hauling 12-car electric trains as fast as 70 miles an hour have been ordered by the New Haven and will be in New Haven early next summer. The new engines will be so constructed that they can be operated over the New York Central. Pennsylvania, Hell Gate route or New Haven as occasion may arise. With the main line service between New Haven and New York or vice versa. will be maintained at 99 minutes for the through run with no stops and at 115 minutes for stops at Bridgeport, South Norwalk, Stam- ford and 125th street.
 Five engines have been ordered now and orders for 15 more probably will follow. Each will weigh 1SO tons and engine will have three pairs of driv- ing wheels, with 12 motors to move them, and two pairs of leasing and trailing wheels" Drivers are 63 inches in diameter and the pony wheels 36 inches in diameter. The height from the rail to the cab roof is 12 feet, 6 inches Driving journals are inches by 13 inches.
 At each end of the cab will be com partments for engineer and fireman, machinery, and the cab will be 57 feet long. A steam heat boiler in each cab will be capable of heating a 12- car train, being operated by fash fired kerosene. Here also will be a
 1.440-gallon water tank and a 250- gallon oil tank. Each cab will have
 two air compressors to operate the
 brakes, and two slow speed blowers.
 each with capacity of 5000 cubic feet
 of air per minute for cooling the mo-
 tor There will be two electric head
 lights, each capable of Seeing a man
 800 feet away on the darkest night,
 and there will be two locomotive bells,
 one on each end, because the engine is
 so long.
 For express service into the Grand Central the engines will be able to
 haul a train that weighs 300 tons. For ] local service the weight is to be lirn- ited to 42o tons. For service west bound on the Pennsylvania the weight limited is to be TOO tons, and east
 bound $50 tons. The safe speed for these weights is to be 70 miles an hour.
 This speed is the maximum attained
 now by limited trains at intervals be- tween New Haven and New York, as determined by a series of tests that the railroad has been making lately This speed has been attained at Mill space from Fairfield to Westport draw, and through the Westchester | county stretch to New Rochelle juno ton. Tests were made on one of the limited trains.
 The new engines are to be more complicated than usual because they must be used on three different sorts of electrical systems. The New Haver has the familiar overhead wires, the Pennsylvania and Hell Gate route have a third d-rail with which contact | is made on top of the rail, and the Central, where the third-rail contac1 | is made underneath. This arrangement makes the engines more costly thar would be the case if only one sort o1 | contact were needed. New Haven road engines, when ths new ones are done, will run to Man haitian transfer the Jersey poin
