TO DIVERT STATE WORK
Now That Harvest Is Over Labor De-
partment Is Busy.

Now that the wheat harvest is prac-
tically completed in Kansas, the state
labor department is preparing to di-
vert the hundreds of harvest hands
who have been busy in the fields the
last few weeks to other channels of
work. Reports to the labor depart
ment indicate that the harvest went
off with a minimum of trouble re-
garding the labor supply.
Letters have been = received from
Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Wyoming and other states inquiring
about the number of harvest hands
Kansas can send to other states now
that the harvest is completed. Indi-
cations are that all laborers will have
an opportunity to find work.
A letter from the extension division
of the Colorado Agricultural college
to the state department of labor says
men will be needed in Colorado this
summer A number can be used at
once, the letter says, in the hay fields
Within a week or two several hundred
will be needed in the grain feds, in
the orchards and in the fields of po-
tatoes, beans and sugar beets.
Wyoming asks for 10, 600 men. Five
thousand of these are wanted at once
and five thousand during August and
September.
Nebraska. North Dakota and South
Dakota all have asked for men and
have requested information concern
ing the number available and when
the men can proceed northward.

do at least 60 per cent of the thinking
for his ball club on the field, and if
the club loses a hard game thru bone
head work the manager gets the
blame, whether he is at fault or not.
Just as soon as a minor league man
ager gets a good club together along
comes some big league club and he
sees his winning combination broken
up thru sales or the draft He must
go out and dig up players to fill the
shoes of those who are taken away,
and if he fails to find talent as good
as he has lost they say he is slipping.
Joy Killing Job.
The manager who makes good must
turn out a winner and sell several
stars to the big leagues. If he does
this he is doing no more than the
stockholders expect of him, and he
seldom gets his just share of credit.
Many a manager in the minors wins
pennant one year only to have his
head taken off if he fails to repeat
the next season.
His job is as far removed from that
of the big league manager as the At
lantic is from the Pacific, for the
major Lacquer has scouts to help him
build up a winner and he can always
hold onto his stars until they outlive
their usefulness.
As Donlin says-If you want to take
the joy out of a guys life make him
manager of a bush league ball club
And if you want to dish out credit to
any one in baseball, slip it to the
minor league pilot who makes good.

Says Job Is Greatest Joy Killer

berth in the minor leagues is no sine

Mike contends that in order to be
first class minor league pilot one must
have the patience of Job, the hypnotic
powers of Herb Flint. and the mental
and physical ability to play every role
from president of the club to third as
sistant groundkeeper.
AS Donlin has tried his hand at
managing a minor league club, ne
ought to know something about it. He
was appointed manager of the Mem
phis club of the Southern association
last winter, and he announced at the
time that he had high hopes of MAX

game in the bushes.

troubles began when the club lost
something like fifteen games by one

to make life miserable for Mike. who
is hard loser, and finally he was
blamed for everything that went
wrong. Cartoons ridiculing the Mem

them. he says. and he is satisfied now
that minor league managerial berth
is nothing more nor less than a delu-
sion and a snare.
The Usual Experience.

The minor league manager has a
hundred and one burdens on his
shoulders. He generally has to deal
with a group of stockholders, and he
has to please them individually and
collectively. He must turn out a win

from stockholders and fans. He must
go out and scout for his own players,

MANIA FROM BIG GUNS
Battle FObia" Is Common Mental De-
rangement From Shell Shock.

Chicago, July 11.-"Battle fobia," a
malady entirely foreign to America,
will soon be prevalent here in the
opinion of DIR. Gordon S. Mundie, as
sociate neurologist at the Royal Vic
toria hospital of Montreal, Can, who
attended the opening of the annual
convention of the alienists and neurol-
ogists of America today.
TT is a form of fear resulting from
shell shock in the trenches that can

is the greatest problem of the war in
Canada and it will confront America
as well.
''It is not a real form of insanity
and not a fear of war or of being
killed, but a fear similar to the fear
that makes a football player shake
just before the kickoff. The more
serious cases are found in men blown
up in the trenches. Battle fobia' vic
tins usually return home with the
mind of a child, deligIiting over some
simple thing like a dish of ice cream,
and talking about it for days.
The only cure, DR.. Mundie said, was
to keep the patients mind occupied
with subjects other than war.
