BAD CROP week
Hot Winds and Sun Have Been
Most Costly in Kansas.
Greatest Damage Was Felt by
Corn Turnout State.

The damage to the corn and other
growing crops from the extreme
weather of the last week was evil
denced today in report of weather
and crop conditions in Kansas for the
week ended August by Meteorologi.;t
Flora of the local weather bureau
The report in full follows:
Hot winds, unprecedented high
temperatures and continued drought
MADE this an exceedingly unfavora BILE
week Tor growing crops in all parts of
Kansas. Temperatures that ranged
from 100 degrees to lis degrees were
general the latter part, while nigh
temperature records that extende
over long period of time were brok-
en- at many stations in the north
central and eastern parts. The winds
literally felt as tho off a fiery furnace
fhere was no rain in the state
I during the week except a few show
ers in the western counties that
promptly dried up without doing any
particular good.
Corn Greatly Damaged.
The greatest damage inflicted was
OF course, to the corn crop, which was
mostly in the roasting ear stage
in the eastern half o: the state and
tasseiing and silking in the western
counties. The uplands were most seri-
ously affected and have passed the
point in most localities where corn

OF 1t has been irreparably damaged.
The condition prevails to about the
| same extent in all parts of the state,
| except that in tie southeastern coun-
ties and some in the north central d r.

corn was suffering badly when the
week began, it is now considered to be
close to total failure Practically the
only parts from V. hich encouraging
reports are received are few western
counties that had heavy rains during
July.
Pastures Bare.

Pastures have been burned bare

and in the eastern counties stock wa

"Threshing is from three-fourths to

BIG GRAIN SHIPMENTS
Increase of 1851 Cars in Ten-Day
Period Over Like Period in 1917.

Washington. Aug. 7.-Substantiat-
ing the assertion that grain produc-
ton this year has been larger than
this government and her associates IN
the war had hoped for, figures re-
vealed today that in the ten-day pc
riod between July Is and rs, grain
shipments exceeded those of the same
period in 1917 by 1851 cars. The
total movement for the period this
year was 40.044 cars against 24,533
cars for the corresponding ten days in
1917

ed Everywhere in Paris.

Most Dangerous Duties Are
Welcomed by DOughboys.
Morale of Hun Prisoners is
Found To Be Very Low.

Paris, Aug. THE splendid cour-
age with which the Americans with
stood the terrific shock of the heavy
German barrage during the recent
Marine offensive is being recited every
where in Paris now. Stories Of indi-
vidual heroism are being told by men
in from the front and by the less Sc
riously wounded who may be seen
! stro1ling along the boulevards during
| their afternoon leave from hospitals.
| There is a story of a Private Logan
| from Chicago which is typical of the
| undaunted heroism of the Americans
who have fought so valiant1y in driv-
ing the enemy from the south bank of
the Marine. When the Germans opened
| up with their guns at the beginning
of the offensive Logan was in a dug
out with some thirty men and officers.
The terrain all about literally was
plowed and furrowed by German
shells. Nothing could have lived out
| side But some time later, while the
| barrage still ragged, the captain in
command called for a volunteer to
go out and find a superior officer for
| orders. Logan stepped up, clicked his
heels, and saluted smartly.
He Came Back Unwounded.
ITS a long chance. Logan" the
| captain said.
and he again saluted and ventured out
into night fraught with death.
Fifteen minutes later he stumbled
into the dugout with the desired or
| ders. In those fifteen minutes he had
faced death a hundred times but,
| miraculously, he was uninjured.
A short distance away, at the same
| time. one of those intrepid runners
| was carrying messages from the front
line to battalion headquarters. A bull
let pierced his left eye, but he ran on.
At last he reached Headquarters and
as he came in he did not forget 20 sa-
lutte. Then he delivered his message:
THE Germans are on three sides of
u.s."
1t was this message which enabled
| the particular American unit to with
| draw to its previously arranged de-
Tense line. from which point they
started their counter attack resulting
in the Germans being cut up and
thrown back across the river.
He Overcame Four Huns.
| The story of how an American lieu
| tenant, shot four times with~his own
| gun, managed to overcome four Huns
is told by the Rev. J. H. johnson, OF
M. c. A. worker, was in the thick OF
| the offensive and served as a stretcher
| bearer
THE lieutenant was having a hand
to hand fight with four Huns when
one of the quartet wrested his re-
| volver from him. said the Rev. MI
johnson. THE German fired foul
shots in quick succession, all of them
taking effect in the officers hand. But
| the latter kept up the battle, and
finally succeeded in disposing of all OF
| the Huns. When I saw the lieutenant
last he was in a dressing station an6
| was keen to go back to the front line
| even tho he had one hand swathed Il
bandages'

New Idea on Salary Limits.

The above from Joe Gardner is the
cream OF the opinion of the minor mag
mates and should meet popular approval
Another plan Is that the salary limlI
SHOULD not be rated according to class
but according to certain zones, The
Texas league can not compete in OBJ
tanning players with leagues in the
North. For instance most Of the play
ers come from north of the Mason and
Dixon line and under set salary limits
what chance would the Texas or Pacific
Coast International have with the
leagues located in Ohio and the North"
Place the Southern and Texas leagues
in a certain zone n place the price at
say 2 900 and the Pacific Coast Inter
national at say 81, 800 and then they
can compete with other leagues in OBJ
tanning players. II a player can obtain
$l35 per month up north, he would not
consider leaving home to go to the
South or West for the same amount.
The action Of the National associa-
ton was evidently dictated by those
who have only selfish motives and they
forget the little boys and hogged ev-
erything for themselves. AS the Three
! Is no more, whom did AL Tearney rep
resent anyway? How could he, repre-
senting no league, put a resolution? The
quicker baseball is rid of fellows of his
stamp the quicker business men will
get into the game. Tearney was the
fellow who proposed that all leagues
quit because his league did so. At the
January meeting something should he
done to curb the reaCtionary fellows
who manifested themselves so strongly
at Peoria.
