THE WEEKS WEATHER
Indian Summer Prevailed Over
Kansas--Wheat Has Good Green
Color.

Mild weather of the Indian summer
variety was general over Kansas this
week and there was no rain, except a
few light and widely scattered show
ers. Temperatures were slightly be-
low freezing in all parts, but the aver
age was above normal every day.
Wheat still retains its healthy green
color and continues to grow, tho slow
ly. In the western third it is stooling
nicely and is in the best of condition
to go into the winter. In many cen
trail and eastern counties the crop is
somewhat short and needs more mois-
ture, but its condition generally is
above the average of what might be
expected this time of the year.
Threshing the 1919 wheat crop is
still being delayed in the northwestern
counties on account of wet stacks and
a shortage of coal for engines is also
interfering with this work.
Cribbing corn lis nearly finished in
the southeastern counties and from
so to rs per cent finished over the
remainder of the eastern half of the
state, but in the western third is hard
ly more than well begun.
Very little plowing is being done at
the present time, as farmers are busy
with other work that must be finished
before winter sets in.

court martial at Chihuahua City and
sentenced to be shot.
The sentence was suspended pend
ing a review of the case by the su-
preme court to which the case was
brought by an application for habeas
corpus. A similar application before
Judge Gonzales Medina of the Mexi-
can federal court here was denied
of jurisdiction. If the highest tribu-
nal declines to interfere after an ex-
animation of the record, the only
human power that can save Angeles
resides in President Carranza.
General Angeles, who was decor
ated by the French government with
the cross of the legion OF honor, in
recognition of his services during the
war faced his accusers with defiance
on his lips. Referring to the Colum-
bus raid by Villa forces, in 1916. GEN
eral Angeles is quoted as having de-
clared to the military court:
Villa to Rescue.
1--WE showed ourselves to the whole
world-for while the American is
clean in mind, body and environment,
We are absolutely and unequivocally
opposite"
As General Angeles awaited his fate
today in the state prison at Chihua-
hua City, persistent rumors of pia II
to rescue him reached the border Ac-
cording to one report Francisco Villa
is destroying trains south of the
capital so as to isolate Gen. Manuel

other progressive counties in the build

roads would be the platform on which
they would make their plea for re-

The tenure of office of Rodgers and
McAfee has marked a new era in the
