NAIoN-WIDE PROHIBITION LOOM
ING THROUGH CONGERSS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Nation-
wide "bone dry prohibition, effec-
tive July /, 1919, and continuing dur
ing the war, at least, looms as
strong probability through compro-
mise negotiations in Congress.
An agreement for passage of leg
islation to stop sales of all intoxicat-
ing beverages on that date, leaders of
both wet and dry factions in the
Senate stated Monday night seemed
to be in sight. President Wilson was
represented as not opposing the legis-
lation and Senators believed the
House would accept the proposal un-
der negotiation. A definite "gen-
tlemen's agreement" in the Senate
is expected within few days.
The wartime prohibition bill pend
ing in the Senate came up for con-
sideration Monday under the unan-
imous consent agreement made
several weeks ago giving it right of
way until disposed of, but was tenn
porarily displaced while the Senate
proceeded with the Manpower Bill.
Then leaders supporting and fighting
the prohibition legislation proceeded
with corridor and cloakroom discus
sions on the compromise.
AS it now stands the bill would
stop sale of intoXicants January ]
next. At President Wilson's sugges.
lions, according to Senator Shep.
pard, of Texas, prohibition advocate
postponement of the date was agreed
to by spokesman of both factions. The
President, it was stated, believes ad
ditional time should be given fol
financial and other adjustments.
In Mondays negotiations most o.
the prohibition advocates were agree
able to fixing July as the date. The!
first insisted that it should be Apri
/, but a majority were said to hav'
consented to the later date. Oppo
nents of the legislation were declared
to be convinced that it cannot be de
feated, and to be satisfied with tn
proposed extension of time.
Formal conclusion of an agreemen
is expected to pave the way for pas
sage of the bill by the Senate lat
this week or early next week.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

We ought always to remember that
if we raise big crop of any kind it
is done with an increased exhaustion
of soil fertility. If we expect that
field to keep up an DO well in the
future we must give 4 additional fer
tilizer. A good many farmers seem
to forget this and look upon a good
crop as so much good luck, the pro-
duct of the season, so to speak, and
not of the land. Heavy crops must be
met with an increased outlay for
fertilizer. -Hoard's Dairyman.

LETTER TELLS HOW KANSAS
AVERTEL LABOR SHORTAGE

How threatening serious short
age of labor was averted and big
wheat crop was saved is told in a
letter from the Wichita, Kansas,
BOARD of Commerce. The letter, a
copy of which was received here by
Mr.. Frank P. Lowry, Chairman of
the Bourbon County Labor Reserve
Committee follows:
Gin the early spring of the present
wear the problem of harvesting the
immense wheat crop in thsi district
was one that caused all business men
and citizens much concern, as it was
felt that on account of the great
number of boys and men taken by
the Army, and also the ever-increas-
ing demand for workers in the war
essential factories of the East, that
the rural districts had been badly
drained of available labor, and it
was freely predicted that the wheat
crop would never be harvested.
''The Employment Service of the
United States Department of Labor
took charge of the labor situation in
Kansas and opened several Offices in
the early spring months of this year,
with the result that we are gratified
to-day to be able to say that every
bushel of wheat that was grown has
been properly harvested and that
thrashing is well under way through
out the entire State.
eve consider this the most
phenomenal accomplishment in view
of the shortage of labor that is too
easily apparent and on account of
the fact that the entire wheat crop
of the State matured at one time.
"While we have made every effort
to cooperate with the Employment
Service, we feel that without their
efficient manner of handling the stu
alton our conditions would to-day be
serious, and l am instructed to
promise you the further cooperation
in every manner, shape, and form OF
this organization in all of the eff.
forts of the Employment Service"
This letter expresses the sentiments
of the business people of this city.
