KANSAS WANTS ARMY
Of HARVEST HANDS
NEEDS $4,000 MORE VOLUN-
TIERS TO COMPLETE
TOTAL OF $4,000.

Topeka. Kan. MAY lS.-With the
Kansas wheat harvest only a month
away. the indications are favorable
for the state to score another sue
cess in the pending drive for great
army of harvest hands.
A most favorable outlook to the
harvest hand situation was given to.
day by F.. +. Frizell OF Larned and
A. !. Johnson OF Wichita. in charge
Of the pitchfork army mobilization
work, who stated that the needs for
harvsters has been reduced from
$4,000 at first demand to $4,000.
Frizell stated the campaign will
continue until 10000 are enlisted.
This number will give a fair-sizcd
working reserve in addition 70
emergency demand. To enlist the
reserve of 10000, quota basis III
every town will be used.
Frizell says volunteers have re
ported promptly. These include
men and boys from Is to As years.
Several thousand already are regis
tered with the various employment
bureaus.
Each county is estimating It's
for harvesters, and with these fig
ures in hand it will be possible for
those directing the distribution OF
harvesters to send the men to the
places most needing them.
A harvest hand quota for Kansas
has been prepared in which al
cities in the state OF over 1000 pop
uiation are listed. On the popula-
ton ratio, the number OF harvest
hands required by each city or town,
is estimated with view to enliSting
a reserve harvest army of 3O,OOO.
According to figures of Frizell, the
proposed harvest hand reserve will
require the enlistment OF 23.o4 per
cent of the total males in each town
or city ranging in age from Is to A
years.

she asked me TO take her to
Chicago for good time, he said.
Il told her: You would have 4 lot

minutes.
Doctor Roberts waived his con-
stitutional rights and told the story

without reserve.

"REBECCA'' |s PLAY
 IF UNUSUAL MERIT

Lifting her out of Kate Douglas Wiggins' fascinating book and into real flesh and blood is what Emma Bunting does to Rebecca in her clever present. ation of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm which opened a five days en- gagement at the Elks theater yester- day afternoon. It is not exaggerating to say that Miss Emma Bunting seems to be an ideal Rebecca, just what the author described in size. in voice and manner, and in the portrayal of the simple ingenuousness of childhood, she convinces the auditor that she is in deed Rebecca and not a counterfeit presentment.
 There is but little plot to the story of the little heroine of the large New England family, who is sent to live with two old aunts in a nearby town to find favor in their sight. but that is well made up in the human heart in terest and the pure comedy.
 Each and every member of the con- pany seems especially fitted to their parts. George Whitaker is again the hero in the part of Adam Ladd and wins laurels for himself. Frank Wal lace, who makes his first appearance before Phoenix theater- goers as Jere- miah Cobb, the kind hearted old stage driver who befriends Rebecca, is well

ARIZONA SOON ID BE
 LEADING FACTOR IN
 MOTOR TIRE MAKING

That Arizona is destined to become an important factor in the production of automobile tires is the belief of A. Schleicher. president of the Samson Tire and Rubber company, who arrived in the city yesterday to investigate the Pima cotton industry in this valley. The plant of the company is at Comp ton, Cal, and has a daily capacity of 800 tires. Every physical advantage is with the coast as a producer of automobile tires. said MT. Schleicher. He added:
 Tt is known that the great bulk of crude and smoked sheet rubber enter ing this country for tire manufacture is coming through Pacific coast ports. This material goes to Akron, Ohio, and other tire manufacturing centers to be converted into castings and tubes. Then it is shipped back here. The re- suit is that the freight both ways must be added.
 Let us take the oifer principle in- gradients of good |! 'es-long staple cotton. There was a time when this came from the south and Egypt ex- clusively, but today it is conceded that districts of Arizona are producing the finest tire cotton in the world. Im- l ton supply.
 Having the materials we turn to the next advantages enjoyed by our locality. There is the fuel, the cheap est and best in the country. In the item of heating alone, the coast makes a great saving. The workmen may work the year around with the win dows open and nothing keeps up eff l ficiency like good fresh air.
 l We considered all of these things before opening our $2500O0 plant. | What we have learned since our opera tions began, proves that we were who'll | ly right in selecting this as our manu- l featuring location.
 The sales field, of course. is prac tically unlimited. Our capacity, as a whole, is 300 tires Q. day. Parts of the machinery, however, are sufficient to turn out three times this number.
 We went into tire making as a straight manufacturing proposition There was nothing of the promotion idea in our plans. Our plan was tC build a quality tire and back it with the best service that we could give.
 We sought through the east for our factory officials and labor. We suc- ceeded in getting a high efficiency right at the beginning. And we have | shown a profit from the start. Gu, plant is without a cent of debt againy it, we are discounting bills for ma. terials and thousands of our tires arc now in service.
 Our output includes all sizes iron 20 by to 3S by 51a in both non-skit and smooth treads. We believe we have introduced a principle in non. skids that will hold a car on a slip. pery pavement under any conditions.
