LARGE NUMBER OF
CHINESE OUTLAWS
SHOW UP in CENSUS

Washington, June S.--Following the
recent capture of three American en-
gineers by bandits in China, a census
of Chinese outlaws has been made,
showing that in five provinces there
are a total of $1,000 brigands. This
total does not include the bandits of
Mongolia, who + very numerous
and have been extremely active this
year, nor does it include those of
Honan, where the Americans were
taken prisoners.
Shantung leads the five Chinese
provinces in outlaw population, having
10000. Shensi has 1000, Anhwei
5000, Human 5000 and Fukien' 5000.
The largest single band is in Shan
tung, under the leadership of Fan Yu-
lin, who rules a veritable principality
inhabited by 1000 persons. Yu Shan
hei, whose followers number 5000, is
the chief rival Of Fan Yu-lin.
The daring of the brigands in Shan
tung recently became so open that
the Tuchun of the province, Chang
Huai-chin, asked, permission to re-
sign his command as leader of the
army against the disaffected southern
provinces, and return to his own state
to restore order. Many of the bandits
are believed to be disbanded soldiers
Of Chang Hsun, who endeavored to
restore the monarchy; but was de-
feated and took refuge in the Dutch
legation at Peking.
The Shantung bandits not long ago
abducted three American missionaries
and an American employe Of the
British-American Tobacco company,
but let them go after a brief captivity.
G. A. Kyle of Portland, Ore, and the
two other engineers. captured in
Honan, were not so fortunate, how

Why Big Men Are Needed.
I'VE want men big enough to have
a smile and a cherry word when they
themselves are tagged out after hours
Of service for u boys. We want
men whose hearts are big enough to
extend sympathetic attention when
the boys want to talk of home and
mothers and wives and children.
These men must give up the comforts
of home and go to France on a blind
assignment, ready to handle what
ever job appears at the moment to be
most important.
First Of all. there is a pressing de-
mand for men who are natural lead
ers, men who are real men, good
mixers and capable Of exerting the
proper influence. These leaders gem
orally are assigned as hut secretaries,
in, which position they will require a
versatility almost Uncomfortable. They
must be above the fighting age, but
must be able to undergo as searching
a, physical examination as does the
man admitted to the combat branches
Of the. service"

of a month ago, and has done serious

prospective totals in North Dakota
may also be looked for. The southern
half of Montana is still in good shape.
as is the eastern two-thirds Of North
Dakota, and the outlook in South
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin is
excellent. The losses that have so far
occurred are unfortunate, but they
are not yet sufficient to prevent the
district from recording as large. a
crop as 1t has ever grown. This re-
suit Is sa~feguarded by the excellent
condition of h crop In portions Of

acreage in the areas referred to.
The losses in Montana are most un-

For this reason there are here and

rage.
Farther south in Fergus county

state, dry weather has also done
much damage, especially in a section
20 miles wide along the. northern

GIRL AERIALIST R
A DOUBLE SOMERSAULT
Hagenbeck-W Wallace Circus Secures
Big Feature Act.

n 'somersault, whether it be
single or double, is a feat which re-
cures the most assiduous practice
n the most mathematical ~calcula-
ton. The first thing the tumbler
learns Is to jump from a spring board.
n sensation of %springing through
the air is an uncanny one. Next is
n stock somersault, which con-
s,sts OF merely s%pringing up into the
air, and slowly and with practically
no physical exertion, turning over.
The motion is so slow that the specta-
tor. hardly realizes that the perform
er has revolved. Then begins the drill
for the real somersault.
The double somersault has slain
scores, for in turning in mid-air one
is apt to alight on his head or neck,
which would mean instant death.
There are several men who accom-
plish this feat. In Rio de Janeiro,
at the Winter Garden Theater, the
owners Of the Observation-Disclosures
Thursday, July II for performances
at 2 and s p. M, and a parade at 10
o'clock, heard Of a woman who was
able to accomplish this feat. They
deputized an agent to investigate, and
he reported that a member Of the
great Ward family of aerialists was
able to accomplish the double somer-
sault. The act was engaged by cable
and their transportation arranged for.
The act is one of the big features of
the Observation-Disclosures Circus. Miss
Elsie Ward, the little a%erialist who &C
complishes the feat, spent eight years
in perfecting it. At times it appear
ed as II she would have to abandon
the idea However. she finally accom-
plished the hazardous feat.
There are some people who say
they have een a triple somersault.
They are mistaken. No man has ever
accomplished this feat and lived to
tell about it There are several male
~aerialtsts with the Hagenbeck-Wal-
lace Circus who can turn two and
one-half times over in mid-air, but no
one with the show or any other show
has yet performed the triple somer-
sault- It appears impossible.

all portions Of this district would
benefit from large yields and that the
resulting profits to farmers would en-

some sections, but the greater portion
Of the area embraced within the dis

no reason to believe that the money

Will serve to- liquidate the present

SINK BRITISH STEAMER
Navy Admits One Hun U-Boat Has
Outguessed the Destroyers.

Washington, June THE navy
has lost contact with at least one
coastal German U-boat raider.
This fact, apparent from the un-
hampered sinking of the British
steamer Harpathian, 100 miles off the
Virginia scapes, Wednesday, was con-
firmed by navy officials today. The
Harpathian was torpedoed Wednesday
morning and her crew, with one
wounded, was brought into Hampton
Roads last night by the steamer Pal
mer. The submersib1e operating off
the capes moved out to sea about
sixty miles since last previously heard
from--when it sank the Norwegian
steamer Eidsvold. Navy men frankly
admitted that this movement had not
been traced, but they were still hope
full that contact would be established
with this U-boat, whose plan appears
to be the hunting of bigger game
than unarmed coastal steamers with
no military value.
This appeared the case from the
fact that a torpedo was used on the
Harpathtan. Heretofore with one ex-
ception the boche has spared his tor

Folker Organizes "F1Oating Gangs
to Help on the Farms.

FLOATING gangs" or volunteer
squads, have been organized by the
Chamber of Commerce and A D. Fol-
ker, county agricultural agent, for the
purpose Of assisting the farmers in
the vicinity of Topeka in harvesting
their crops this season. These gangs
consist OF five men, who will be ready
to leave their offices and places of
business at o'clock each afternoon
and go to any farm where they are
needed within a radius of twenty miles
of Topeka, as fast as an automobile
can carry them. They will shock the
alfalfa and other crops which the
farmer has cut during the day.
Beginning at once, farmers within
the prescribed radius who are short
on harvest help are urged to notify the
Chamber of Commerce or the county
agent. The volunteer squads will ac-
cept whatever wages the farmer feels
that he can pay, and it is not improb-
able that much of the proceeds will go
to the Red Cross.

CAN FURNISH HANDS
County Agricultural Agent Folker Has
Applications for Farm Work.

Men in various parts OF the country
who want Jobs in the harvest fields
and on Kansas farms are writing A.
D. Folker, county agricultural agent,
every day, asking about the prospects
in the state and requesting him to put
them in touch with farmers who are
in need of help. Letters have been
received from California, Texas. Ar
kansas, Ohio, North Carolina, Michi-
gan, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and New Mexico.
Farmers needing additional harvest
help will do well to get in touch with
the county agent, who can greatly
assist them in obtaining men for the
season, and will give them III the help
he can for the asking.
Folker has also received many let
tiers from parties wanting to hire
cherry pickers, and about twenty can
be used in the county at once. This
work can be done by women and
boys, which will release the men for
the harvest fields. About fifty cents
a crate can be made picking cherries.
Alfalfa pitchers are also in demand
and the county agent has announced
that he can use a large number.
