HOW KANSAS HARVESTED WHEAT CROP.
Faced by Big Shortage of Labor and War Calling Mor' Men, Federal, State and City Forces Unite in Saw
 ing Grain-Example for Future Work.
(U. S. Department of AgricuIture.)

Kansas farmers this year faced a harvest labor problem as serious as any in the country, it Is believed by officials of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture The story of how Kansas fought it's difficulties and overeame them demonstrates the high spirit of patriotism in the country dis tricts, the willingness of the cities and towns to help out in emergencies, and points the way for other states to meet similar problems next year.
 Seven million acres of wheat called for harvest help. The army and war industries were taking increasing numbers of men from the state. Rail- road fares had been raised, impeding the movement of workers. A short age of from 90,00O to 100000 men cated by a labor survey made early in the year by the county agents in cooperation with the schools.
 The problem was up to the state farm help specialist Representing the Department of Agriculture and the extension division of the state agri- cultural college), the United States Department of Labor, the county agents and the farm bureaus. They received cooperation from chambers of commerce and business mems clubs. The farm help specialist visited S5 of the 105 Kansas counties and discuss ed the labor situation with farm and town people at county meetings. Later at eight district meetings delegates from the farm bureaus and othe- farmers organizations from every county recommended wage scales for the districts and that labor be paid by the hour instead of the day. At ! state meeting 45 cents an hour was decided on as a fair wage.
 Late in May the farm help special ist developed a method of recruiting town and city men for help in the fields. Work was started under a proclamation by the governor through the county and emergency agents Working with the. chambers of com, merce and retail merchants associa- tions definite records were obtained of approximately 30,OOo men in over

FRUGAIITY vs, sfIIFTLEssNEss.

Before the long, wet. winter months set in, when the greater part of his machinery and implements are not in use, the thrifty farmer carefully goes over them, oiling, using paint when necessary, supplying broken or miss ing parts and putting everything un- der shelter. These and other frugal characteristics differentiate him from the shiftless. haphazard farmer who leaves his implements exposed to the weather, who lets the fences around his house and barn fall down, perfect ly contented to throw a hoop over hts corral gate rather than put on a new hinge or repair the old one.
 The former. 1t may be taken for granted, Is plow-deep, se-fertilizer cultivate-thoroughly and take-advan- tage-of-the-market farmer-in word, a successful farmer; while tn latter is a scratch-the-ground and trust-to-luck individual whose failure he attributes to any, one but him. self

500 towns and cities who were willing to answer the harvest call Head- quarters at Wichita and 20 local of fees were opened by the Department of Labor to recruit men from outside the state In farm bureau counties the agents in nearly every case ac
 cepted the responsibility of reporting the labor needs of the county to the Federal labor offices and of distrib-
 uting the harvest hands after their ar
 rival. In Cheyenne and RawIins coun-
 ties this mean that the agents had to organize a transport system that brought the harvest hands in from the main line railroads by automo- bile, an average distance of about 30 1 miles. Assistance in this work was given by the agricultural agents of railroads.
 The result was that Kansas lost none of it's wheat crop. All of the
 grain has been safely harvested and is helping to turn the scales in the 1 battle of food resources.
 Although complete data are not
 available from all counties a. definite 1 record of 4S,471 men being place1 l through the various cooperating l agencies has been obtained. Of this
 number more than 1S,000 were han died by the local labor offices of tho Department of Labor and more than 1 5000 were town men who went out to harvest through the Federal labor
 offices in Kansas City and St Joseph, 1 Mo, and Kansas City, Atchison anI 1 Leavenworth, Kans. 'Sixty-nine counties that have county agents have
 reported that they cleared through their offices more than 18,000 harvest hands from outsidet the county and that more than 1000 town men, or ganized as twilight shock troops
 went In squads to help in the even l ing.
 I These enumerations do not include l 8 large number of retired farmers
 and other townspeople who helped in the harvest but did not register, and
 do not take account of thousands O. boys. So great was the response of
 men in the emergency that less than per cent. of the women in Kansa4 were used as harvest helpers.

WHY ADVERTISED
 STORES SUCCEED.

Because the advertised store tells the public what bargains it has, while the non-advertised store does not.
 A live, enterprising merchant, who is a good, shrewd, wide awake buyer, has bargains all the time. It is his principal job to keep on the lookout for special opportunities. He watches the trade papers like a hawk, he quizzes salesmen, he looks out for odd lots and bankrupt an fire damaged stocks. If he is on his job he is continually making a wise selection between good and poor of fers, and always has things in his store that represent exceptional valu ,.
 The public hears about these ex- ceptionaI chances in the advertised store. It is not told and does not re- alize that such chances exist in the advertised store, even If that store has them. The public then passes by the non-advertised store hacou=N --~4Li--s hoo L '-~"~ . to convince anyone that anything is to be gained by trading there.

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts to flush out your Kidneys and neutralize irritating
 acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted author ity. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the blad- der, where it often remains to irritate and inf1ame. causing a burning, scald- ing sensation, or setting up an irrita- ton at the neck of the bladder, oblig- ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and Is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding 1t.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t, because they can't control urina- ton. While 1t Is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so 1t nc longer is a source of irritation to the | bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless | and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus- ed by uric and irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes nc bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, effer. vescent Whitewater drink. which quickly relieves bladder trouble.- Adv.
