NOBODY LOVES A LOAFER
waiting for Harvest" No Excuse in
Emporia After This.

Emporia, Kan. June Mayor H.
B. Morse has started an anti-loafing
campaign. the keynote of which is
that Emporia is no haven for pseudo
harvest recruits awaiting the call to
the fields. The mayor started in with
a visit to each pool hall in checking
up the loafers and found that a num-
Der of men frequenting the pool halls
admitted they were without work. but
came to Kansas to work in the har
vest fields
These jobless fellows must get to
work." declared the mayor. There
are plenty of jobs. Even waiting for
the harvest is not an acceptable ex
cuse. These men will have to get
to work while they are waiting for
the wheat harvest There is plenty
of work in the alfalfa fields until the
wheat ripens."
The city marshal was directed to
keep an eye on the loafers and to put
them in Jail if necessary ito break
the habit

They Will Furnish Big Portion
of the June Draft.
Not Less Than so Per Cent Of
Glass 1 To Go.
MAYBE EVERY ONE WILL Leave
Only $4,000 Glass 1 Men
Left in the Nation.
$500 Least Number To Be
Taken From Kansas.

The June draft order will hit the
big towns an awful jolt. In Kansas
not less than fifty per cent of the men
in class about 7,5O0-are certain
to go under the call. Use by the war
department of ALLEGATION of former
calls, would probably require the call
naming in class 1, as well as a num-
Der of newly registered men. Men in
charge of the draft work here how
ever, are inclined to the belief that ap-
portionments will be made on the ba-
sis of available men in the first class
Official announcement concerning
state quotas may not be given to the
public for several days It's known,
tho, that the June cali will practically
absorb fifty per cent of all men re-
manning in class / in the United States.
There are slightly more than $4,000
men in the first class at this time. The
war department call for 100000 men
will absorb practically one-half of the
list of available men.
All Cities Hit Hard.
All of the cities and large towns
will be hard hit by the issuance of d
call based on the total list of remain
ing class 1 men. Kansas, on the 9TH
er hand would benefit by such ac-
ton. Use of former appointments
WOulQ wipe out the TeIldluluS llSl "a
class 1 men in this state. A call-for
SO per cent of the men remaining in
the first class, would mean that all
Kansans now in line for service or
ders, would not be exhausted until
July or August.
Under reports from Washington,
ESQ, 900 men will be called under the
selective draft June~24.
A special call has been issued for
10000 men with technical or special
qualifications. The two orders brinS
the June gross quota to 100000.
No Definite Figures.
The May call for $4,000 men gave
Kansas a gross quota of $4,000
Credits which had accumulated since
last fall, reduced the states net quota
to practically 5000 men. Slightly
more than 1000 men have been in
Quoted since the May call.
Using the May ALLEGATION as the
possible or probable basis for the
June quotas, Kansas will this month
be called upon for not less than 10000
men. Applying the quotas on the
basis of the gross list of men now in
| class 1. the state will furnish a prob
able quota Oft, 500 men.

the line in the trenches and in the
homes and at the same time can rear
generation of virile men and wo
men. The real outcome of this war
fifty years from now will be deter
mined by the children who are be-
ing born today.
In 1915 the Kansas infant mortality
rate was 60 per thousand, the lowest
of any state in the union. This year
the lives of 1902 babies are to be
saved if the state lives up to its quota.
Summer Is Danger Time.
Summer is the danger time for
babies. The first unusual rise in tenn
perature in June is followed in a few
days by an increase in the number of
feet of high temperature is very no.
ticeable in babies-well babies are
made sick and sick babies are made
worse. For that very reason, at the
first appearance of hot weather, ex-
ira precautions should be taken to
high temperature. The high death
rate of babies in the summer is due
to the direct effects of the heat; to
the increased temperature resulting
in a prodigious growth of all forms
of bacterial life. and to the presence
of flies and other disease carrying
pests.
These phases of child life will be
explained by physicians at the clinics
this summer and mothers instructed
as to guarding the health of their
babies who will be the men and
women of tomorrow. The association
which has previously held their clinics
has now obtained rooms just to the
left of the main entrance to the audi
torium, which are much better fitted
for the purpose.

BEWARE OF PLAGUE!
France to Protect Her Borders Against
Spanish Disease.

Paris, June Extra preca utions
have been taken along the French
frontier to prevent the spread of the
Spanish epidemic into France.
Noted Partisan doctors announced
today the mysterious disease that is
sweeping Spain resembles the begin
ming of the plague of 1889, when $780,
900 fell victims to it in Madrid alone,
and 5000 600 turnout Spain. 1t is
realized here that the spread of the
disease to combatant armies would de-
lay the final allied victory.
Many deaths have already occurred
in Madrid. The causes of the plague
are a complete mystery.
King Alfonso is reported better, but
is not yet able to give audiences.
Six hundred Madrid doctors have
been stricken by the plague

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Ideal Corn Weather Sends Prices
Tumbling-Also Oats and Pork.

Chicago. June big downward
swings have taken place in the corn
market this week chiefly as the re-
suit of ideal conditions 20 make seed
terminate and to promote growth.
Compared with a week ago prices this
morning showed a descent of "a to
8 Is cents. Oats were down l "a to
3 as and provisions unchanged to 80
cents lower.
Despite some transient interruption
from a temporary sudden change to
cold weather, the general movement
of prices for corn was bearish in the
extreme. Abundance of moisture rem
dered the effect of hot weather as an
suspicious factor in crop development
much more pronounced than would
otherwise have been the case.
Oats were dominated by the action
of corn.
Pork and ribs gave way with corn
and hogs. Lard was steadier owing
to government purchases for Great
Britain.

ON TRANSPORTS
Recent Sinkings Show U-Boats Are
Embarl<ing on Special Campaign.

Washington, June German sink
ing of the American transport. Presi-
dent Lincoln, and three British trans
ports In little over a week tended to-
day to confirm recent reports that the
U-boats are making a special effort
to get troopships, navy advices show
ing that submarines were lying far
out, including the vicinity of the
Azores and the recent British des-
truction of superzsubmarine, off the
Portugal coast, indicates that the sub
marine is being forced out of it's usual
paths.
Added details as to the torpedoing
of the President Lincoln Yesterday
were expected at the navy department
today.
The loss of life was manifestIv
small, because the vessel was home
ward bound and because she stayed
afloat an hour after she was hit.
