STATE NEEDS MORE FUNDS
Last Legislature Failed to Appropriate
Enough Money for State lnstitu-
tions-Extra Session Likely

Kansas is reaping the harvest of
parsimony, the seed of which was
sown ten years ago in the Kansas
legislature, and which has been nur-
tured by every legislature since. 1t
may be necessary to call the legisla-
ture into special session before the
end of the present fiscal year to pro-
vide funds to maintain the Kansas
charitable and penal Institutions and
TO relieve terrific strain put upon
the educational institutions
James A. KimbaH, the new state
manager. and members of the board
of administration already are worry
ing about funds and they have been
in office only a month.
For years the Kansas legislatures,
sweating over an alleged bugbear of
taxes and animated strictly by the po-
Htfcal futures of the members, have
made appropriations for the state in
situations on the basis of the least
they could get along on, instead of
what they needed. Each year the in
situations have had to fight to ex-
haustion to get enough money to pay
expenses and meet pressing needs.
There never was money left for i'm
provement. Every penny had to go
for actual necessities.
When the war came along the prices
went soaring. Many things the uni
yersity. and agricultural college for
merly used cannot be obtained now
at any price. Other articles are not
available because of lack of funds.
The legislature of 1917 was not much
better than former ones. 1t cut the
appropriations just as low as it could
on the basis of purchases a year ago,
even though the United States had al
ready severed diplomatic relations
with Germany and was certain to be
in the war
Not a single dollar was appropri-
ated to the state institutions for an
emergency rise in prices of any ar
ticles, for the possibility of dry
weather in the summer of 1917 or any
other year. The appropriations were
barely sufficient to buy supplies if
prices were the same in 1917 as in
the spring of 1916. AS a result the
state board of administration and the
new state manager do not know where

HOW TO CONQUER THE cRAMP.
Worst Effect Is Panic, Which Causes
the Swimmer to Let All the Air
Out of His Lungs.

A cramp is merely a contraction or
the muscles caused by the penetration
of the cold. Obviously, it could not OF
itself cause drowning. Its effect, ac-
cording to Popular Science Monthly, is
to cause a panic which throws the
swimmer of his guard, causing him
to let the air out of his lungs and thus
allow the air passages to become filled
with water. The safeguard against
such a panic is absolute confidence In
the floating power of the body anG
demonstrable knowledge of the proper
way to quickly fill the lungs to utmost
capacity with air.
The moment a cramp is felt, the
swimmer should turn on his back and
begin to gulp the air, making no effort
to keep himself from sinking. AS he
sinks he slowly exhafeS under water,
through the mouth, with the lips puck
cred as for whistling. If it is a stom-
ach cramp the knees will be drawn up
against the abdomen, but the swim
mer should force them out, pushing on
them with both hands and using all
his strength until they are fully ex-
tended. This will no doubt cause great
pain for few seconds, but as soon as
the legs are Strengthened out the
cramp will vanish, and the body, buoy
ed up by the air in the lungs. will shoot
up to the surface. There still inhaling
in great gulps and exhaling through
puckered lips. the swimmer may float
until he regains his strength or Is
picked up.
In case of cramp in the leg or arm
the same system of breathing is fol-
lowed and the affected part is straight
ened out by sheer strength

Senate Finally Passes Long,
Delayed Measure by a
Large Majority.
FIRST BILL ALSO APPROVED
Both Measures Will Become Laws
With Presidents Signature-onIy
Seven Were Opposed.

Washington Aug 9.-The food bill
passed through the last stage of legis-
lative enactment at 4 O'Clock this af-
ternoon when it was finally adopted
by the senate in form previously APP
proved by the House. President Will
sons signature now makes it law. The
vote was &C to z.
Those voting against the conference
export were: Observation-Disclosures
Hollis and Reed Republicans France,
Gronna. La Toilette and Penrose.
Immediately after the final vote on
the control bill, the Senate by a viva
voce vote also approved the confer
ence report on the first administration
food bill, providing for a food survey
and an appropriation to stimulate pro-
duction.
Both bills are to become laws Fri
day with President Wilson's approval
Senate and House leaders tonight
made plans to that end, the delay be-
ing caused by adjournment of the
House until Friday and the necessity
for the signing of the bills in open
session by the presiding officers of
both houses. The Senate recessed to-
night until Friday so that after Speak
er Clark signs the bills upon recon
vening of the House they may be sign
ed by the Senate's presiding officer
and Immediately sent to the White
House
Immediate Operation Expected.
Prompt appointment of Herbert Hoo
yer as food administrator and imme-
date operation under the legislation
is expected to follow.
In addition to it's comprehensive pro-
visions for control of food, fuel, fertil-
izer and farm equipment the control
bill carries drastic prohibition fea-
lures. Thirty days after it is approved
it will be unlawful to use foOdstuffs
in the manufacture of distilled bever-
ages or to import distilled spirits for
beverage purposes, and the President
will be empowered to commander for
military purposes distilled liquors now
held in bond and to regulate and Se-
strict the use of foods in the manu-
facture of wine and beer.
Concludes Administration Program.
The final vote in the Senate was Sc
cured by unanimous agreement.
Contrary to expectations, no motion
to recommit the bill with instructions
or other parliamentary objections
were offered before the vote.
The Senate's vote virtually con-
| cludes the work of Congress upon the
administration legislative program ini-
| tiated last May. 1t puts into the Pres

INCOME DEPENDS ON WHEAT
Limited Only by Amount of
Grain Produced.

The income of the Kansas farmer
next year will be limited only by the
amount of wheat he can produce. This
is the belief of DR.. Henry Waters,
president of the Kansas Council of
Defense.
Usually when the yield has been
high the price has gone down. Doc
tor Waters said, but with a fixed
minimum price that will not happen.
The state ought to repeat the crop of
1914-twenty bushels an acre-on 10
million acres. 1t ought to raise the
first 200 million bushel wheat crop in
history, and ought to get $3.50 a BUSH
ell for it French, English and Ameri-
lean money will come pouring into
the state"
Doctor Waters, who recently return
ed from Washington and other east
ern cities, said that people there are
much interested in the Kansas plan
to sow 10 million acres to wheat-the
largest acreage in the country
though they feel it is no more than
the states quota.
'If the yield of wheat in the state
of New York were to be doubled, as
some have advocated" Doctor Waters
said, much seeding and hars esting
machinery would have to be pur7
| chased, thus robbing the great wheat
regions of their supply. Moreover, a
great quantity of fertilizer would be
necessary, and this would cut down
the supply to the truck crops of New
Jersey and the cotton of the South.
