TRACTOR SHOW ON
Big National Event at Salina
Costs S1,000,O00.
More Than 100000 Visitors Are
Expected There.

Salina, Kan, July 29.-The big ma
tional tractor show, costing $f,000,000
and to exhibit to at least 100000 per-
sons, is on.
The spirit of helpfulness will be the
tional tractor demonstration, A E.
Hildebrand, general manager of the
demonstration, declared tonight in
discussing the big event. I'm this re-
spect it is different from any tractor
demonstration. ever held, not meaning
to say helpfulness has never entered
into a demonstration before, but never
so much as it will in this educational
showing of the tractors advance.
From year to year the spirit has in
creased until now it is perfect.
THE demonstration will cost a mil
lion dollars at the least count" Mr..
Hildebrand concluded, but it is worth
a half billion to the nation in educa-
ton toward increased food production.
conservation of manpower and the
utilization of the country's energies"
Tractor men point to the fact this
country and every other country is
drained of its horses as well as man
power. A decade or more must pass
before the supply of horses can meet
the demand. while here are the trac-
tors ready to show how they can fill
the horses place in a tenkh of that
time.
The vanguard of the hundred thou
sand persons expected to visit the
demonstrat ton is drifting in. Salina is
meeting them with open arms. The
latchstring doesn't hang outside in
this city. There isn't any latchstring
the door is open. So it is at the city's
hotels, as we'll at private homes.
The 40-acre tract of tents devoted
to headquarters of the companies with
exhibits is a complete city in itself
Water mains. electric lights, telephone
exchange and other adJuncts of a city
have been installed.

NO WORLDS SERIES?
Tener-Johnson Row May Enlarge
Schism of Leagues.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July 29.-There is no
certainty that the major leagues will
stage the worlds series next october.
Wartime conditions are against 1t just
as they were last fall. but in spite OF
the war the big series might nave a
chance to live on If it were not for
some very bad feeling between the
powers that be in the two leagues.
John K. Tener;s recent outburst
against Ban Johnson famed Goals of
discomfort that have been smoldering
under the vests of the club owners for
several years. Yet in the face of the
American leagues stand in defying the
national commissions ruling N the
Perry case, defying baseball law itself
the stand Tener took had to be ex-
pected. There vas nothing else for
the National 1eague-John K. Teper in
particular-to do. And the sourness
between the two leagues has. not been
sweetened one iota with the passing of
a few weeks.
; Certain club owners in both leagues
principally the American-have
long been dissatisfied with the make
up of the national commission. The
National league has always had .wo
representatives on basebalrs highest
tribunal, and has held the whip hand
in this way. The National league also
holds title to the only big league ball
parks in New York. which is another
big ace in the hole. So the time is
coming when a break in diplomatic
relations between the two leagues, will
be inevitable.

FIGHT ON LIQUOR WON'T STOP

are saving by the crumb, the brewers

Once this task was completed. the
profiteering apparently looked so good
that everyone voted for a return en-
gagement So a mailing list of mem
bers of the Women's Relief Corps

cunning was by no means exhausted

a wonderful thing to eject the son of

deal more.
Those letters are now causing all
manner of trouble. Many veterans of
the Civil war declare the letter for
Morgan is the first attempt N this
state to capitalize the war service of a

votes. And Kansas has seen some
rather careless and carefree politics.
Many of the letters are said to have
occasioned red hot replies. Several
organizations are reported to have

A branch of the Morgan guberna-

TWO DROP DEAD FRONT STORE.
Remarkable Coincidence in Deaths on
Clay Center Business Street.

Clay Center. July 29.-Frank L.
Williams, well known attorney of
Clay Center and this section of KAN
sas, died suddenly Saturday afternoon
in Clay Center store, where he had
stopped to summon a doctor Mr.
Williams had introduced the speaker
at a Henry Allen meeting in the court
house square in Clay Center He sat
upon the platform while the speaker
was talking. People in the audience
noticed that he seemed i'll at ease.
Suddenly he got up, took his hat and
walked across the street to the cloth
ing store and asked for a physician.
Death came, however, before the doc
tor arrived, as he lived but a few
minutes after reaching the store. Mr..
Williams was SO years of age, and he
has lived in Clay Center since the
early sos. He was prominent in po-
Itica1 and civic affairs.
A strange coincidence connected
with the death is that Lawrence Sea-
well prominent farmer, dropped
dead Friday in front of the same
store where Mr.. Williams died Sat
urday.

ENTRY LIST OPEN
National Tennis Tournament at
Forest Hills, August 26.
1t Will Be First Championship
Match in Two Years.
FIVE STARS ARE lover THERE"
Church, Murray, Kumagae Only
Ranking Players To Play.
Entry Qualifications Announced
Match for Benefit Soldiers.

Clubs belonging to the Unite,l
States National Lawn Tennis associa-
ton have received from the secretary
Edwin Fuller Iorrey. announcement
of the national singles championship
which will begin at Forest Hills, L. l..
August Is. This is the first time the
title will have been played for. since
1916, when Richard N. Williams. I'd.
took the championship away from
William NJ. Johnston. Williams is
now an artillery officer in France md
Johnston is an ensign on foreign serv-
ice.
Kumagae Is Playing.
As matter of fact, five of the first
ten ranking players are "over there
and of the remaining five, George NJ
Church. r. Lindley Murray and
chyia Kumagge are the only ones at
all likely to be able to play. Church
is an aviation officer in Texas and
Murray is running a munitions plant,
but an effort will be made to secure
both their entries. The arrival from
Japan of Kumagae in time to de-end
successfully at Utica the New York
state championship, puts an interest
ing angle on the event, for he -erns
TO be playing as we'll as in 1916, when
re was the surprise of the season.
kumagae is number five in the pres
ent ranking list and there are COM
parativeiy few men in this country
who can beat him.
Entry RequireE, cnts.
The qualifications for entry, adopted
in 1917. prevail this year. The re-
qufrements cannot possibly exclude
anyone of ability, altho they do pre-
vent the tournament being swamped

ranked during the past five years or
have at any time ranked in the first
twenty; players who during the last
three years have been semi-finalists or
better in any two sanctioned tourna-
ments; players who during 1918 have
made a reasonably good record in
three sanctioned tournaments; and
players who do not qualify in any
of the above classes but whose entry
Is acceptable ly reason of residence
in foreign countries, promise of kill
or other circumstances deemed suffi-
Client to cause exec ,tions in their
cases."
The tournament Is being played for
the benefit of the war department

ton has provided equipment for hun
dreds of tennis courts in camps. All

seven submarines were in the flotilla,
which attacked and destroyed the

was in the convoy of which the JUS

she was the original target for the
torpedo which first hit the Justicia.
The liners guns were turned on a

submersible made its nationality
