ANOTHER PLOT IN RUSSIA
Kerensky pismisses Gen. Kornilof'
Who Aspired to be oictator-May

Petrograd, Sept, 11.-Premier Ker-

sequence OF General Korniloff's de-
mand for supreme power. General
KIembovsky has been appointed COM
mander-in-chief.
An official statement says that Gen

the Russian armies in succession ia
General Korniloff,
The soldiers and workmen's body

the army organization to obey the

Members Of the Russian cabinet to
day told the Associated Press tina
the provisional government regarded
General Korniloffs pronunciament'

MORE KANSAS CITY Strikes
Employees of Adams and Fargo Elk
press Companies out-Freight
Handlers Also Quit Jobs.

The strike OF express company en-
ployes at Kansas City which started
when about sixty drivers, freight hand
lers and clerks from the Adams Elk
press Company went out was aug
mented later by the addition of about
$50 men from the Wells-Fargo Elk
press Company and it was reported
that employees Of other express COM
panies had signed up" and probably
would go out.
With all of the employees who had
remained in service and the assist
ance of supervisors, clerks and others
still in the service the express bust
ness of the two companies wa prac-
tically demoralized.
An effort was made to settle the
strike at a meeting at the Labor Tenn
pie, but the proposition of the en-
ployers was turned down by the men.
The Wells-Fargo company announced
that its proposition was an ultimatum
and it published, through advertising
columns, a notice to those now on
strike to report for work at once or
their places will be filled.
With the handling of express bust
ness badly hampered at the Union
Station about 100 men, employed by
the Kansas City Terminal Railway
Company to handle mail and baggage
from the station to cars and return,
walked out in a body and went to the
Labor Temple to perfect an ~organiza.
ton.
Their walkout, at $3.50 in the even.
ing, was timed to embarrass the Ter.
minal company at an hour when the
work is at its maximum,
Representatives of the freight hand
lers on three railroads in Kansas City
at a meeting at the Labor Temple
voted not to return to work The
strike vote, it was said, affected ap
proximately $50 men employed in the
freight stations Of the Rock Island
Missouri, Kansas & Texas and Mis-
souri, Pacific lines.
With the exception Of the express
handlers and their fellow workers, th'
strikers demands in every case in
clude an 8-hour day. The express EN-
ployes are asking pay for overtime.

RUSSIA IS FACING
ANARCHY and RUIN
Unless korniIoft Revolt is Put
Dawn Soon Reign Of Ter
rOr VIII Follow.
REBELS MARCH ON CAPITAL
Most Of Army and Navy Seem to Be
Back Of kerensky's Provis-
ional Government.

Washington, Sept. 12-Whether Rus
STA faces anarchy and a reign of terror
as the fruit OF General Korniloff's re.
volt against Premier Kcrensky's pro-
yisional government depends largely,
in the opinion OF officials and diplo-
mats here, on the speed with which
the situation develops.
If the Geposed COMMUNICATIVE chief
now reported marching on Petrograd
with troops personally loyal to him
makes a spectacular show of strength
within the next few days, it is be-
lieyed strong political influences, now
secretly wagering in alliance to the
government, may swing over, give him
a preponderance of authority and pave
the way for a powerful dictatorship.
If Premier Kerensky, on the other
hand, is able to hold fast to the sup
port Of enough Of the various political
groups on whose attitude the ale
glance of the army largely depends,
he may crush the revolt quickly adopt
some of the strict disciplinary rules
advocated by the Korniloff element,
and void the democratic forces into a
stronger Instrument to fight Germany.
The complete %ascendancy Of either
Kerensky or Korniloff would satisfy
most persons here NEST interested in
Russia's well being. 1t is the middle
situation, the conflict which would
make Russians kill Russians, which
they fear and which, judging by to
days unofficial dispatches, seems en-
tirely possible. Civil war then might
lead to their separate peace with Ger
many or restoration of the monarchy
with its inevitable train of evil con
sequences.
Out of the haze of the Russian stu
alton as reported unofficially today
officials developed the impression tina
the provisional government probably
could count on the support of thu
navy, a large part of the army, par
ticularly in the interior. railway EN-
ployes and Industrial workers.
Korniloff probably expects the back
ing Of a strong element Of militar,
leaders, Duma members. the intelIeC
tual classes. the Cossack and othe
considerable professional fighting ele

probable he would be openly support

GIVE WHEAT A TOPDRESSING
Good Results of Covering the Plants
With Straw and Manure Shown
by Experiments.

Last season showed especially good
results for topdressing wheat. The
old experiment field of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture at
Columbia had t~wenty-one plots in
wheat with various treatments, and
in early spring when most wheat
looked dead and dried up those plots
which had been topdressed with
manure and straw started off vigor-
ously showing that they were not bad
ly dried out although all the rest had
been badly injured. When threshing
time came the highest yield, 1914
bushels per acre, was on a plot that
has been topdressed with strawy
manure and all of the %topdressed plots
yielded well. Missouri does not often
experience so dry a winter as the last
one, but spreading straw on wheat
in early winter not only protects it
from drying out, but also tends to pre-
vent smothering by ice sheets. 1t
keeps the snow from blowing off, and
helps materially in returning fertility
to the soil.
ANY source of fertility is well worth
considering at the present high prices
of crops and fertilizers. A ton Of straw
contains 10 pounds Of nitrogen, IL
pounds of phosphorus and Is pounds
of potassium. At the present high
cost of nitrogen and potassium in
commercial fertilizers the nitrogen Of
a ton of straw is worth $3.50 and the
potassium is worth $500. making the
straw worth $3.50 a ton for fertilizer
in addition to the small amount oil
phosphorus it contains. OF course
straw has additional value in that il
adds vegetable matter to the soil.
