Trial of Ex-Kaiser to Start Next
April.

London, Aug. o-The London
News today declared the trial Of the
former kaiser of Germany will be
held in Hampton court and will start
in April. The newspaper said Lord
Finlay, who will depart in few days
for a tour Of the United States and
Canada, will likely be president OF
the court that will cit in judgment on
the former ruler of Germany.
Hampton court is located on the
Thames river, about a mile from the
village of Hampton, in Middlesex
county, IS miles. southwest of Lon
DOM. 1t was formerly royal palace
and was built in part by Cardinal
Wolsey. Hampton court is sur
rounded by beautiful park, five
miles in circumference.
Lord Robert Bannatyne Finlay, ap-
pointed lord chancellor in 1916, and
a member of parliament, is believed
to be the Lord Finlay referred to as
the probable presiding judge at the
trial of the former kaiser.

STRIKES HIT 100000 MEN
Seventy Thousand Workers Are Out,
10000 More Affected.

Washington, Aug. o.-Strikes,
lotk-outs and industrial controver-
sizes, directly and indirectly, now af-
feet more than one hundred thousand
workmen and their families, Labor
Department officials estimated to-
night.
Made on the basis of reports of
the bureau of mediation and concila-
ton, this estimate probably is con-
siderably below the total of men in
volved throughout the country, Of
ficials said. Only small percentage
of strikes is called to the attention of
the mediation bureau for settlement.
The bureau, under the law, can act
only when invited.
Agents of the bureau now are at
tempting to adjust disputes which
have not yet reached the strike stage
in more than a score of cities, the
records showed.
Some of the strikes have been rum
ming since July~I5. A demand by
workmen for 44-hour week is given
as cause for some. Recognition Of
the right to organize is responsible
for many more, while wage in
creases asked and. denied account
for most of the others.
Chicago and New York seem to be
strike centers. Among the other
cities principally affected are Cleve-
land, Boston. Hartford, Butler. Pa,
and Omaha.
In many reports to the mediation
bureau. the number of men on strike
is not given. Nearly seventy thou
sand are affected indirectly or are
threatening to strike.

True Enough.

Apropos of the recent murders in
Kansas City, especially the one in
which the victim was married man
and was joy riding with another
mans wife, the Kansas City Journal
delivers a whole sermoy when it
says that:
"The man who does his motor car
riding with his own wife seldom gets
mixed up in murder case, even if
the car rides do lack SPICE"
Spice is mighty fine thing, but
sometimes man can pay too high a
price for it and, as. in this case, the
man does not do all of the paying,
but the innocent wife and children
will never cease to pay for the
spice" of that midnight ride which
ended in the death of the husband
and father.

From Sunny California.

=
Editor Butler Tines
Thinking probably few of our old
friends living in Bates county would
be glad to read few items from
Southern California. In reading over
The Times Of this week Tor issue
sof July 3Ist) we were greatly inn
pressed with several items it con-
famed, bringing to our mind the
may, many happy days spent in and
around Butler. Although scores Of
familiar names and faces have been
4called to their eternal homes, still
each issue of the paper mentions the
names of very many persons OF
whom | used to know, and especially
two of whom are now among the
most faithful quill pushers or ink
singers, of the Times correspond
.cnce, viz: Ed Heavilin or Johnsy,
and Mel Campbell or Sunny Jim.
The timely sayings of either of these
are worth the price of the paper.
The items of the former are COM
posed of good, sound, logical MARIA
tives, while the sayings of the latter
are heavily fraught with both wit
and wisdom. We notice among
many other items of Johnny's say
ings is one in particular, "A. West
over had wheat that made 22 BUSH
els per acre; and that his crop
brought his seven thousand dollars"
We agree with you, Johnny, that be-
ing goodly crop. But let me show
you what can be done, and was done
in Southern California last year. A
Mr.. Mitchell, living between Santa
Monica Beach and Los Angeles, had
III navy beans, I7o acres, which pro-
duced 80 sacks per acre, 100 pounds
to the sack, for which he received at
the machine at threshing time eleven
cents per pound. With paper and
pencil you will readily see what CAL
ifornia soil ,is capable of doing, this
being only one field among the
many equally as good. Although we
have no kick on Bates county agri-
culturally speaking, we don't like
her, nor the middle west) winters,
nor your hot summers. We are sit
uated just two short blocks from the
shore of the mild Pacific Ocean, in
the Ocean Park section of Santa
Monica. Ocean Park is about the
size of Butler and was at one time
a-eity Of itself.--A few years ago the
two cities consolidated and took the
name of Santa Monica, still having
a postoffice in each town, but under
one municipality: Santa Monica,
Ocean Park and Venice are one con-
tinuous town, the dividing lines can
only be noticed by signs in the
streets.
- We are always glad at the arrival
Of The Times, which is usually OH
as it takes from 3 I-2 to
4 days in transit. We would like to
ask Johnny what has become of his
brother, Andy. And Sunny Jim
seems to be an all around literary
man, but has never given us DEM
of his mathematical skill
We will therefore give him herewith
| problem to solve: i.
From six take nine,
From nine take ten, wi
From forty take fifty
And six will remain.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you don't con-
inc this to the waste basket or a
we may, at some future
ime, scratch a few more lines from
Southern California.
With regards and best wishes to |
II friends,

Bushel of Wheat Costs Them $I.oo,
Say Farmers.

Salisbury, Mo-, Aug. o.AAccord-
ing to the figures of Messrs. r. L.
Hamilton and Philip Elmore, who
last week marketed $50 bushels OF
wheat, it cost them just fraction
more than $1.oo per bushel to pro-
duce the crop. They had in thirty
six acres on their farm near Grand
Center, and the total yield was $50
bushels, and the total cost of produc-
ton was $823.I6.
Every bit of the work required to
produce the crop was hired, and an
exact account kept The cost figured
is therefore correct. The price paid
for the labor was that prevailing in
the neighborhood and no effort was
made to secure a lover price than
that asked for by the men who did
the work.
In the figures representing the
cost are included a 6 per cent inter-
est on the value of the land and a 50
cest an acre allowance for taxes.
Following are the figures on the
thirty-six acres and yield Of $50
bushels:

LABOR. CHURCH AND Bus1-
NESS ARE FOR LEAGUE OF
NATIONS
Big Majority of Farm Journals Also
Favor Pact. -.

The support which the league ha;
been receiving outside the senate is
remarkable when one considers the
departure which it marks in certain
deep seated American traditions and
ipreiudices, says Current Opinion
For it was only few years ago that
it was seriously proposed on the
floor of the United States senate to
abolish American ambassadors and
ministers entirely on the ground
that diplomatic intercourse with
other nations was unnecessary!
In the recent convention of the
American Federation OF Labor, a
strong fight was made, led by the re-
ekdoubtable Andrew Furuseth, against
1 the endorsement Of the League OF
Nations. The vote was 1870 for
endorsement and 42o against--7o to
I. Senator Hitchcock stated on the
floor of the senate-and his state
ment was not disputed-that every
labor; organization that has taken ac-
ton at all has endorsed the league.
The same is true, he declared
further. of all business mems organ
stations. Senator Hitchcock chal-
lenged the opposition to, name a
single church organization that has
gone on record against the league,
while in Senator Lodges own state
50 religious bodies have passed reso.
lutions in favor Of it. The list of
labor organizations in the same state
that have taken such action fills a
page of the Congressional Record.
A poll of farm journals in % states
shows an overwhelming majority co.
out of 68) for the treaty and the
league and 1913 farmers organiza-
tions were reported, several weeks
ago, as having gone on record for
the league. The Federation of
Women's clubs, representing 2,ooo,-
900 women, approved the league by
resolution. MANY tests of public
sentiment" the New York Evening
Post remarks, ".have been made and
they all point one way.-in favor OF
making an honesk and thorough trial
of the league" "Here we have labor
agriculture, the church, the women
and probably business" says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat lRep), Sup
porting the league. From what
source would the Republican party
draw conQuering power in oPposi-
ton to it3" The N. Y. Times notes
that nthe voices Of Republican news
papers. especially il, the West. are
rising in angrier protest than before
against the attempt to commit the
Republican party to a policy of OPP.

This protest is manifest in other
ways. Chairman Hays of the ma
-tional Republican committee has
tried to iavert such . disaster to the
party, making . special trip to Wash
ington spparently for that purpose.

the quality is good. Besides his
wheat crop he has large acreage of
oats and corn.-Adrian Journal.
