LABOR A BIG PROBLEM
Only the Farmer Who Does His Own
Work Gets Ahead,

Real problems of the farmer in his
efforts to increase crop production is
little appreciated in the towns, accord
ing to prominent Rice county farmer
who today discussed the wheat drive
from the standpoint of a practical
producer The real seriousness of the
wheat problem in Kansas is little ap-
preciated, he declared. in a statement
showing conditions based on this
years crop yield.
The wheat growing section of Kan
sas is without a crop this year" he
declared in a letter to the State Jour
nal The Kansas farmer is trying
to SOW ten million acres of wheat
land. That cuts ten million bushels
of wheat off the estimated yield of
forty-five million bushels. leaving
net production after the new crop is
in of about thirty-five million bush
els. And that is provided that the
estimated yield for the year is not
too high.
The labor problem situation on the
farm is simply awful Sowing wheat
and caring for the forage crops, leave
no time to haul wheat to markets,
even tho the wheat be threshed- It
is only the farmer who can do all his
own work who is getting along, in
my observation. There are few farm
ers of that class in Kansas and very,
very few who do not need more help,
especially during the busy seasons

WEALTH OF U. S. ATS ALL POLITICS
That's What Hearst SAYS of
BOIo Pasha InSinuatiOnS.
He Calls New York Attorney
General ''SmaII."

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct 6.-Dis-
patches from New York state that
Merton Z. Lewis, states attorney gen.
eral there, had made public a state
ment in regard to the activities of
Bolo Pasha in New York in which il
was said that william Randolph
Hearst had attended a dinner given
by BolO PaSha in New York in 1916
The other guests at the dinner were,
Mr.. Lewis said, Adolph Pavenstadt.
said TO be involved in the transfer of
funds from American to French banks
for peace propag anda among the
French neWspa perS; Captains Boyd
and Won Papen, military and naval
attaches of the German embassy at
Washington, and Jules Bots, treasurer
Mr.. Bots was also said to have re-
ceived some of the money from Bolo
Pasha for peace work.
Mr. Lewis. in his statement, said
that the relations between Mr.. Hearst
and Bolo Pasha were purely social.
so far as he knew.
Mr.. Hearst, who is now a visitor in
Los Angeles. in answer to the state
ment made public by Mr.. Lewis, gave
the following to all Los Angeles news
papers and press services:
The statements and innuendoes of
the attorney general of New York in
regard to myself and Bolo Pasha are
not true. and I challenge him to sub
stantiate his utterances. which are
distinctly discreditable to him as
political partisan.
How He Met Pasha.
Il met BoIO Pasha merely as a
French newspaper man, the reputed
representative of the Paris Journal.
He came to me and said: You use
more print paper than any other man
in the United States VIII you tell me
where to get it best and cheapest
Print paper is almost unobtaina bic in
Paris
I told him where we got our print
paper and what we paid for it and
gave him all the information about
the paper market that I could and
that any newspaperman with any
courtesy would naturally give to a
visiting French journalist.
Bolo Pasha seemed wholly loyal
to his own land and I had no reason
to suppose that he was not
He was very polite and very ap-
preciatfve, like all well hammered
Frenchmen, and invited me to a din
ner which he gave to a number of
ladies' as well as gentlemen in the
public dining room at Sherry's.
Conversation Trivial
The conversati ton was general and
trivial as it is at all such social din
ners-
THAT is all that I have ever known
or seen or heard of Bolo Pasha.
I have never met Won Papen or
Captain Boy-Ed in my life and Attor-
ney General Lewis implications to
that effect are unfounded in fact.
7 defy the attorney general TO dis
prove any word in this statement of
mine or to substitute any one of his
own unwarranted implications except
his one published statement that any
acquaintance with Bolo Pasha was
purely social
Should he fail to do so, I shall
proceed against the small attorney
general of the great state of New
YORK for petty and premeditated

newspapers in the interest of his al
ready defeated candida tie for mayor

MARCHING into The Dawn

A century and a quarter ago there
mustered and marched in France an
army of citizen-soldiers-i all things
brothers-in-arm to the great army
now gathering in America.
That army of France was called
from the farm. the loom and the fac
tory. It was unframed in military
tactics. II was unlearned in the arts
Of war The campfire was its canton
ment. The wrathfuI guns were its
drill sergeant The hardened old
grenadiers of Prussia. the Hessian
hirelings and the Austrian hussars
looked with pity and contempt on
those raw recruits brought to the
slaughter-pen Of battle.
But the reverberations of the foot
steps of those recruits were the roll
ing drums Of liberty. Here was new
fact in history. Here was a force
that kings had not reckOned with and
could not control And when the
mOnarChs of Europe sought to crush
that raw army of France. they found
it illumined by a spirit that has al
ways been invincible. It was the spirit
of nationalism. It was an ideal above
all material gains. It was the fllimir-
able possibilities of the new birth Of
freedom Thus inspired, that army
freed France before Napoleon was
known. overthrow Prussia's discipline.
with the enthusiasm of youth, and
humbled Austria's pride.
When Frances citiZen-soldiers
caught the inextinguishable luminance
that lighted up the whole world, they
knew they were the torch bearers of
warning for democracy. for freedom
and for humanity. That was why
cold could not chill their ardor nor
defeat impair their morale. That
was why they were able to bear the
hardships to suffer the priva tons and

washington. Oct e. America
rounding out its first six months in
the world war today. has made mar
velous records.
From nation of peace and unpre-
paredness, the country in six months
has developed into a powerful fight
ing machine-the greatest factor in
the war. Congress, on the eve of the
adjournment of its war session. has
completed a program which. for mag
nitude and money. has no equal in the
history of the wars parliaments.
On April 6-the day President Will
son signed the declaration of war
the American army was small and
Unsupplied- The navy was not fully
manned. The railroads. under
equipped. were unable to move their
vast freight shipments, much less to
handle gigantic troop movements
Americas merchant marine was
joke among nations The army had
less than dozen aeroplanes. No laws
existed for the development of an
army and navy such as the emer-
gency required; no money was at hand
necessitated and no authority vested
for carrying cut the war talk.
Millions More Registered.
Today, after six, months. more than
a million men are under arms. Mil
lions more are registered for service
subject to call. Sixteen cantonment
CO mps-cities each capable of hous-
ing 40. 600 msn-have been built at
cost of $150,0O0.000. Billions have
been loaned the allies. Billions have
been appropriated for equipping and
supplying the soldiers and sailors
There are now three times as many
vessels in the navy as six months ago
The enlisted strength of the navy has
increased from G4,680 to over 14S. 600
and other branches have increased
from 800 to 500 per cent in personnel
Twenty naval training camps have
been established and aircraft and pro-
jectile factories are being built. The
aeroplane construction program as
sures the presence Of thousands OF
American aviators on European fronts

The shipping board has contracted
for 433 ships already. Seized vessels
are rapidly being put into service

been created sufficient to run 1900 to

tional appeals for rapid ship construc-
ton on American ways, il is planned
TO build approximately 5000, 900 tons
within the next eighteen months and
thereafter at least 100000 tons

Railroads Systematized.
The railroads are operating as one
great system.
With ships and troops moving stead

Staggering War Expenses Fail

New York, Oct. 6-Altho the war
bill which the United States has con-
tracted during the first six months is
stupendous, the banking world is not
staggering under its weight. Francis
H. Sisson, vice president of the Guar
anty Trust company of New York, said
today in an interview with the United
Press. He gave assurance that this
country would easily be able to meet
all obligations.
From a survey of the measures
taken to prepare the United States
for the worlds greatest war, il is OBJ
vious that our national finances are

nObly doing.
$4,000 Per Capita
AT the very beginning of consider
alton of the financial activities of this
country, it should be remembered
that We enter the conflict in a pecu-
harly powerful monetary position.
Our wealth today is more than
$1,000 for every man, woman and
child in the country.
''The total wealth of Great Britain.
France and Germany amounts to
1927, 500, 600. 900. The national wealth
Of the United States alone aggregates

The amounts authorized for war
purposes have reached a total of s1s-

sum S7,00O,0 100000 provided for ad-
vances to our allies. there remains

Not All Consumed in War.
We should remember, also. that
an Inconsiderable part of the many
billions OF dollars we are raising will
not be consumed in the European con-
rIagrat1on. Some of our financial
war contribution will be invested in
capital stock to promote such huge
constructive projects as the upbuilding
OF our merchant marine. and the loans
to the allies will be repaid"
