Kansas Wheat Acreage
Largest in History Of
the State, Says Report

Topeka, Kan. April l8.-The first
Kansas wheat crop report of the
year, issued today by the secretary
of the state board of agriculture,
shows that the conditions and acre
age of wheat in Kansas this year
is the best and largest in the his
tory of any state at this time OF the
year.
The report places the acreage at
l0,75S,000 acres and the conditions
estimated at 99.32. 44
If the ordinary method of fgur.
ing the yield is used. the forecast
is that the state will produce more
than 2lS000,000 bushels of wheat
from this crop.
Under guaranteed prices the value
OF the crop would be $475,000, 600 or
nearly half billion dollars. This
would average about $3S per capita
for the entire state.

Entirely Too Thorough.

A certain farmer, who lives no,
far from Youngstown, had the habi,
of collecting so many old buggies
and wagons that his yard was lit
tered with them most of the time.
The wife OF the farmer, who has
entirely different ideas about the way
things should be conducted, resolved
to make cleanup.
Accordingly, she assembled the
ramshackle vehicles in an open space,
set fire to them, and gleefully
watched them disappear.
When the husband returned from
town he drove to the back yard,
looked about him, rubbed his eyes
and cried excitedly:
"Great bubbling beeswax, Hen
rietta, where is everything?"

The husband gulped, gasped,
cleared his throat and then blurted

 So far the Germans have treated Us fine and we are new stopping in small town. The main thing to write and let you know is that 1 am in the best of health and hope when this let ter reaches you it will find you the same. Of course am longing to get back home but 1t don't look as if I would be home till spring, as that is the talk now.
 l can't think of much more to write now as I am going to turn in &or the night. I wrote quite a few letters but don't seem to get any answers from them. I suppose it is because l am moving so much and changing my address so often, they have hard work to locate me. Will close hoping to hear from you soon. Best wishes to all my friends.

SHERIFF MAR ROWLY ESCAP-
 ES BEING SHOT
Is Fired Upon as He Sits in Railroad Coach at Ken
 sett Saturday

Searcy, March 17.-Sheriff Tatum Plant of White county had a narrow escape from as- sassination about dusk Satur- day night at Kensett. Sheriff Plant was fired upon as he sat in railroad coach, by some unknown person at the station. The would-be assassin escaped.
 Sheriff Plant and Deputy Sheriff Leland George were on their way to Newport on off cial business and while the train was at Kensett a bullet crashed through the window where he was sitting. The bullet missed his head only a few inches, and probably would have struck him had he not turned his head just as the gun was fired.
 Bystanders told the officers they had seen the man who did the, shooting, run away. It was getting dark and they were unable to give any des- cription of him. Sheriff Plant has been active in the suppress sion o f bootlegging in this county and it is believed that his energy in this direction caused the attempted assassin ation.

GOVERNOR FAVORS
 FOR ROADS
Will Include it in Call if He Convokes Special Session
 of Assembly

Little Rock, Mch. 17.-A general road measure for the entire state will be included in the call for a special session of the legislature, which is con- templated by Governor Brough for July or August.
 The Hester Bill, the only measure providing for com prehensive system of State highways died on the legisla- tive calendar in the House leaving the State without a general road bill. A measure to take it's place will perhaps be provided for in the call, in case it is made, Governor Brough said.
 Governor Brough also indi- cated his opinion that the limi- tation to a 60-day session is unwise, resulting in much crowding of legislation, and should be changed so as to put legislators on salary, and held until necessary business is transacted.
 "A harder working body of men never assembled in Ark ansas,' Governor Brough said of the Forty Second General Assembly. "The House had many night sessions, and com- mittees ef each body worked tirelessly night and day con- sidering measures for the bet terment of the State, because o1 the eongeSted condition of the calendar important reve- nue measures such as financ- ing the State penitentiary and putting it on a cash basis, and the question of caring for the excess of approximately $7OO,- 900 appropriated beyond the estimated biennial revenue of $3,0 3,000,000, were hurriedly considered and thrown in the wastebasket."
 Because of the importance of these measures ana the gov ernor's ,pinion that the consti- tuition framed ny the constitu-

Dear Mamma suppose you will be some surprised tC. hear from me, but just because you haven't heard from me don't think 1 haven't thought of you for you haven't keen forgotten since the day 1 left you April 26, 1918.
 1 suppose you know this war is over, and no doubt you will be surprised to learn l am in Germany. We'll mother l sure have seen great part of this country.
 When l landed, I landed in England, and after staying there for about seven weeks We moved to France, and l sure did see France, as we travelled from one end of 1t to the other. We wasn't in any regular outfit when we land- ed in France and they kept moving Us from one camp to another. One trip we made in France took us two days and two nights riding in box cars, and when we got to our stop- ping place We were almost into Spain, and then we made the same trip back again, and so We kept moving around France until we were put in a regular outfit and then our troubles started, as we went to the front. I'll do my best in trying to explain my life in the bat tlefields to you.
 The Germans were sending big shells over to us and the only way we could protect our selves was to get some place in the ground. Just think of me living in holes in the ground. It sure was some hard life. I've seen a great many dead Germans and also a good many Americans dead in the field. I tell you, mother, when 1 think of it, my life was in danger a good many times. Just think, we were eating on the fields in rain, and in mud over our shoes, so you see us boys were some happy when we left the front. But now,
