Coon hunting is on the decline over

trees in a single night. The hunting

independence of the sort of domina-
tion which has resulted in the Lam

tion splitting with the big boss has
not assisted Mr.. Townley's cause in
Glen Ullin and vicinity. Inspite Of
the energy displayed by clique Of
Is or more Townley organizers to
make applause for Townley during
his speech here, the meeting "got
away from him." Townley lost his
temper; made damaging admissions
and finally blew up altogether.
The crowd began to grow restless
when Townley in effect declared Sem
ator Mees a traitor to the league;
declared he had signed an agreement
to abide by the decisions Of the secret
caucus, and that he had generally
refused to be good, especially in con-
nection with the one-man tax COM
mission bill. ~.
"How many votes were~there in
favor of this measure, in caucus ?"
asked a voice from the crowd. =,
"Forty-nine or fifty" replied Town
ley. :.S.s
"What is the membership Of both
houses?" .-,. %u
Townley: "One hundred sixty two"
"Then, because a man does not
vote with so against 122 he's trai-
tori"
Townley: "You're d-right."
Then there was a reference from
the crowd to Townley's advice to Sem
ator Mees to 60 home and "lie like a
horsethief."
Townley in effect said that he did
not accuse Mees Of selling out, but
that if he didn't sell out he was
"dam fool" as there was all kinds Of
money to be had, "and repeat he's
a damn fool>if he didn't get it."
"You say Mees is damn fool if
he didn't take money!"
Townley in a sense affirmed the
statement. :,

Townley: Eyes, d. it,
"You handle all the league money

KANSAS CROP
Over Two Hundred --:-orsand
Men Will Be Required To
Take In This Years Wheat.

Kansas City, Mo-, MAY 28-An ar
my Of more than 100000 men will be
required to harvest the giant wheat
crop in Kansas this year, according to
A. L. Barkmon, director of harvest
work, United States Employment SER
vice. Sixty thousand of this number
must come from outside the state.
In making the estimate, he refer
red to the report of the Kansas Board
Of Agriculture, issued last month,
which said that with general av-
erage conditions of 99.32 per cent on
an estimated total Of 10,759, 600 acres
of growing winter wheat, Kansas new
er had a>more fiattering prospect for
a record smashing CROP"
The harvest labor problem in Kan
sas is more difficult than in any other
state and 47,000 posters have been
distributed among government build
ings throughout the nation. While
500 letters a day are received here
from prospective workers. ,Barkman
said many who write will not come,
and that most careful distribution
will be necessary to prevent a labor
shortage.
Wheat cutting usually starts in the
south central counties of Kansas a.
bout June Is to 20, reaching the CEN
trail part Of the state ten days lat
er. The demand for men increases
as the harvest district broadens.
"Men should, if possible, provide
themselves with sufficient funds to
tide them over for a few days in. case
of rains or unavoidable delays in Sc
curing work." said Barkman. "The
harvest fields do not offer light work
and the sun is often exceedingly hot.
Therefore, boys and men who are un-
used to heavy work are handicapped
in securing employment in competition
with able-bodied experienced men,"
Missouri can care for it's big whea
crop with local labor, Barkman said.
Nebraska and states north will be sup
piled with harvest labor by the drift
of men from Kansas, if that state,
the center Of the wheat belt, has suf-
ficient supply.
