the schools and far better results are being secured at less expense to the patrons than under the old system. State officials who have visited the Jefferson county schools have been heard to say that this county has the best rural school system of any coun- ty in the state. This is a big compll- ment to Jefferson county and it is also compliment to Superintendent Lowe as he has been instrumental in having this system adopted in Jefferson 2oun- ty. He has not tried to force any change in any of the schools but by advising with the teachers and direc- tors has brought about many desirable oranges, and he works in harmony with the school directors and teachers of all the schools as they have real ized that his sole object is to improve the schools of the county and give the children the benefits of the most mod ern methods of securing thorough training in the public schools.
 Superintendent Loves policy is to take the schools to the children in stead of taking the children to the schools and he has been constantly working to carry out this idea. The improvement of rural schools and the building ot good roads will make it unnecessary for those who live in the i rural districts to be without adequate
 school advantages for his children and those who have kept i'll touch with conditions at the schools of this county can testify to the big improve ment which has been made an dis constantly being made under the di- rectiOn of Superintendent Lowe.

FIX WAGE SCALE
Farmers VIII Pay Harvest
Hands As Cents an Hour.
City Men Urged To Help Save
Wheat Crop.

Salina, Kan, May 27.-One of the
largest gatherings Of wheat growers
ever held in this part of the state as
sembled here Saturday to make plans
for handling this years harvest. which
will be on in a very short time. e. E.
Frizell, farm labor commissioner for
Kansas, was the principal speaker and
he urged that all building operations
in the wheat belt be discontinued dur
ing the harvest period SO that the
workers can help in the fields
Twenty-six counties were represented.
The meeting was called to adjust
the wage scale and the hours for the
harvest season. 1t was decided that
ten hours should constitute a days
work. The standard scale will be AZ
cents an hour for harvest hands. Over
time will be paid for at the same
rate. Teams will be paid for at the
rate of 80 cents an hour. The head
cook shall receive SO a day and the
assistant cook $3.50.
Stacker Wages Unfixed.
Wages to be paid stackers were left
open, thus giving the farmers in each
county the privilege of arranging the
price for their respective communities
StackerS have always been hard to find
and their wages varied and they
usually get the highest salaries, hence
the farmers were unable to decide up
on standard wage for them.
In opening the meeting Frizell said:
I'VE will insist that every town and
city in the state release a certain per
cent of their working men for this
great harvest and threshing season.
We will have plenty of men to take
care of the crop if this is done.
I'VE must get the men from within
the state to do the work, and we are
asking all county commissioners and
builders over. the state to stop building
enterprises for ten. or twelve days in
order that their men can help in this
work. Remember, the higher you
make the wage the easier it will be
to get the men,"
The resolutions adopted expressed
the opinion of the farmers that the
Kansas wheat crop will play big
part in winning the war and that it
will be one of the largest guns that
can be fired at the enemy. They de-
mand of the United States government
that the laborers and threshers for
this crop be transported to Kansas
from other states at 1 cent a mile
fare, and urge that they be given free
transportation. They also urge that
the boys in military camps not going
to France at once be granted furlos
to their respective counties that they
may help in the harvest.

Allies Make Valuable Gains.
In the minor fighting in the past
four weeks the Anglo-French troops
southwest of Ypres and east of Aniens

with the enemy, the Germans being
routed with the loss of several dead

MexicO-C Cuba Break May Have
Sinister Meaning.
Apparently Due to Minor
Eyent-Huns Are in It2

washington, May 27.-Mexico's sud-
den and unexpected suspension OF
diplomatic relations with Cuba Is
looked upon here as an indirect move
against the United States. which posi-
bly, may foreshadow a breaking or
diplomatic relations with this country.
The underlying cause for Mexico
action it is understood here, was a
recent incident in which Senior Fa-
bella. her minister to Argentina. while
on his way to Buenos Aires. was nelo
I'D in Havana while his baggage was
searched by an official. supposedly a
Cuban customs inspector who. 1t Is re-
ported, found among the minister's ef-
fects certain papers.
From other sources, it is understood
that at the time Minister Fabeia was
on his way to Buenos Aires. certain
exchanges, possibly of a preliminary
nature, were under way between Mex
leo and Argentina, and probably in
volving another Latin-American gov
| eminent, having for their purpose the
development of a certain and uniform
attitude in the war. =
Mexico Suspicious America.
If anything taken from Senior Fa-
bela's baggage related to this situation
| it is unlikely that any disclosure of
| official secrets would be made at this
time but the feeling here is that Mex
leo holds the United States really re-
sponsible for the incident.
Some of those in close touch with
the situation and receiving the latest
confidential advices lean to the opin-
| ion that the break with Cuba possibly
| foreshadows an extension of a policy
Of suspended intercourse with the
| United States.
Confidential reports here from Ha-
vana have said that, quite outside the
/ Fabela incident, well informed persons
there expected Mexico might find
some pretext to actually suspend dip
lomatic relations with the United
States. All those who take this view
base their opinion on the assumption
that German propaganda again is ac-
| tive.
