S0UTHWEsT'S HARVEST ENDS
"Sanest" In History Is Boast-Army
Of $4,000 Men Employed
Business Men Help.

Kansas City, Mo.-The southwest's
harvest, characterized as the "sanest"
in history, is over. Higher wages
were paid them ever before, and there
was practically no radical agitation.
An army numbering at times 125, 900
men, advanced with the harvest from
southern Oklahoma through Kansas
and into Nebraska, earning an aver
age of 60 cents an hour.
Federal officials say about 100 al
leged-agitators were arrested on va
grancy charges, but SO far there has
not been a single complaint of sa-
botage.
College students and returned sol
diers predominated among the har-
vesters. The response was so large
that it was unnecessary for side-line
harvesters-boy scouts and high school
students-to go into the fields, al
though many business men in small
Kansas towns joined twilight" har-
vest gangs.

France Warns U. S.: Don't Build

Z IL Habitation.

Paris.-With the certainty that avia-
ton is quickly to become one of. the
big industries throughout the entire
wefld, Paris has a little warning for
all of her sister cities of America and
every other country.
The warning is this: Enact imme-
diately, either state, municipal or ma
tional, legislation prohibiting the cree
ton Of airplane factories anywhere
within hearing distance Of where hui
man beings have to live and sleep.
Otherwise, said human beings won't
be able to sleep and will be driven In
no time at all either into their graves
or some far-away sanitarium.
Everyone knows how much rumpus
an airplane makes when 1t Is flying
thousands of feet overhead. Well,
every airplane motor before it is
mounted has to be tested, and to be
tested 1t is attached to a huge bench
or platform and run continuously at
top speed, with hundreds of horse
power back of it, for at least twenty
four hours and sometimes forty-eight.
During that period of time nobody
living within hearable distance can
possibly sleep.
At S%uresnes, where motors are test
ed for forty-eight hours, it has been
necessary to. close an adjacent school.
At Puteaux the Inhabitants declare
they have not slept for months.
AT Courbevoie the city council has
resigned as a means of protest.
AT Clichy the city has bought a large
tract of land for the erection of a mu-
nicipal hospital. Airplane factories
during the war installed themselves in
the vicinity and the medical authori-
ties now refuse to let the city build its
hospital in such a death-insuring To-
caNty.
The department of the Seine has
been forced in the interest of public
health to take measures to stop the
airplane factories and get them moved
into more isolated localities.
