TREATY READY
FOR GERMANY
Final Draft Ready and, VIII
. Likely be Handed to
German Delegates
Today

Washington, June 15.-It is report
ed that the final draft Of the German
Peace Treaty is now completed and
will be given to the German delegates
tomorrow. II Is also said that after
receiving the document the Germans
will have but FIVE days in which to
sign it; and that, in the event Of their
failure to sign within that period the
allied army will move forward and
occupy Germany.
While 1t now seems to be the gen.
eral belief that the treaty will be
promptly signed by Germany, the sit
uation is a very critical one. This Is
true not only because Of the possibil-
ity, even though it may be remote, of
a renewal of hostilities, but also be-
cause Of the important resolution
now pending in the Senate calling for
an amendment Of the terms Of the
treaty SO as to permit the separate
consideration of that body, and by
similar bodies in other countries, of
the proposed League of nations plan.
Late dispatches from Washington in
dictate that this resolution may be re-
ported and perhaps acted upon today.
If the resolution is passed by the SEN
ate, the President will be placed in an
extremely awkward and embarrassing
position, since such action by our
treaty-ratifying body would be, in eff
feet, equivalent to an announcement
that the Senate is unwilling to ratify
the treaty in tis present.form.

West Mineral

At a meeting Of the Cherokee COun-
ty Fair Association held In West Min
eral Tuesday evening preparatory
plans were laid for the biggest fair In
the history Of the association. The
Fair this year viii be held the first
four days in October, this Is one week
earlier than the fair was held last
year, but 10 not too early for good dis
plays of crop exhibits and other farm
products.
The prize list has been revised and
enlarged from last year, especially In
the Livestock Department, II being the
desire of the fair officials to encour-
age the showing Of more and better
pure bred livestock. A new building
will be erected for the poultry ex-
hibits, thus giving all Of Floral Hall
for the use of the Home Arts and Ag-
ricultural Displays. A much larger
poultry display is expected this year
than last on account Of the Boys and
Girls Club work started in this county
under the direction Of the Farm Bu-
reau. The Fair Association having
offered. three trips to Manhattan as
first prizes to winners in. the different
clubs.
Purses amounting TO about $1,000
will be offered for racing this year.
This is much larger than last and
means that a better class Of horses
will be entered. Also the fact that
the West Mineral Fair. is to be the
week following the fair at oswego, at
which they are featuring the racing
events, will make It possible to get a
number of faster horses to compete
here.
Part of the advertising has already
been solicited and the committee ex-
poets to get the catalogue printed
within the next three weeks. Com
mittees were, appointed and various
other detail matters were taken up at
the meeting last Tuesday night. The
fair officials expect to put on a good
clean fair, the buildings, grounds and
track will be put in fine shape and the
attractions will be the best that can
be secured.

NEED 10000 HARVEST
HANDS IN THE WHEAT
BELT TO HANDLE CROP

Hutchinson, June 1S.-An appeal
for help is being sent to the east by
the farmers of western Kansas. Once
before some forty years ago, simi-
liar appeal went up from. this section
of Kansas, but it was an appeal for
help to save the farmers who were
ruined by the grasshoppers and dry
weather. The appeal which is going
out today is for 10000 men to come
in here and help save the wheat crop.
For the first time, perhaps, the
farmers of this section have combined
to engage in an extensive advertising
campaign. A committee Of advertising
men have been appointed by the Kan
sas Wheat Belt Harvest Labor con-
ference, representing the wheat grow
ers of the fifty-five western Kansas
counties, to systematically advertise
thEu the east for harvest help. Har-
Jey Eckert, of Larned, is chairman Of
this committee which was in session
here today.
1--WE need 10000 harvest hands in
this section of Kansas and the farm
ers will pay so cents an hour for the
help" said Eckert. 1--WE have engaged
an advertising agency to place news
paper advertising in Oklahoma, Colo
RADIO, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa,
and the east generally"
George A. Piper, Of Manhattan, sec
retary Of the committee, said the Kan
sas harvest has been retarded one
week by the wet weather.
Cutting may start in some Of the
southern counties by next week." said
Piper, "but generally it will not be
under way before June 25."
The wheat in this section is show
ing little Ill effect from the rains Of
the past two days.. grain men say.
Sunshine and wind today brought up |
much of the wheat that was down.
"The wheat is in fine shape" re-
ported L. Osborn, division freight
agent of the Rock Island. "Any rain
" hail damage is in isolated strips.
The crop is all right"

LqG6Gk qGGSGkGREfLEE Gi Il MAPHA CAMP
Property Once Suspected of Being
No Good, Has Developed Into
q Splendid Producer

There have been plenty of instances
in this district where mine appar-
emily failure has turned out to be a
near-bonanza, but no more striking
illustration has been offered in recent
years than that of the Lucky o. K.
property, just across the state line
north of Hockerville, Okla.
The Lucky o. K. at present is
owned by the Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing Company, big national Organi-
zatiOn with its principal properties in
Idaho. Before it was taken over by
the Federal, the mine was one of the
properties developed by the Noses
Marcum interests, who prefaced most
of their mines with a Lucky" they
having the Lucky Kid, the Lucky Ex-
tension, the Lucky Junction and the
Lucky Bill, formerly known as the
Cornfeld.
Most Of these mines were fair pro-
ducers, and some Of them more than
that, but there were one or two ex-
ceptions. The Lucky Extension COM
pany built q splendid plant on the
tract to the northeast of the Lucky
Kid, near Douthat, but the big mill
was moved with scarcely a turning
over, It being proved effectively that
no extensive ore deposits existed
there. This proof has been questioned
lately, and it is even rumored that
quite the reverse has been proved, but
time may tell as to this. At any rate,
it was at one time suspected that the
Lucky o. K was another mistake on
the order of the Lucky Extension. A
big mill was erected, and complete |
plant, with well painted outbuildings
and all, but the actual starting Of op-
erations was mysteriOusly delayed. 1t
began to be rumOred around that the
mine was a joke, and then one day it
was learned the Federal Company had
taken an option on the property, and
hope was revived. Time passed, how
ever, and while the Federal company
was drilling thoroughly, nothing could
be learned as to their findings, and It
was once rumored all the property |
lacked to become q good zinc producer
was zinc.
With this sort Of a history It is In
teresting to note that the Lucky o. K.
mine made $40 tons Of concentrates
last month, operating only twenty-six
ihifts altogether. Since the Federal
finally quit drilling and went |
% producing the mine has become one {
Il the best producers in the field, and I

Suffrage AND
NOTHING ELSE
Kansas Legislators Agree to
COnfne Special Session
to Ratifying the
Amendment
From the Topeka Capital:
Take this little tip.

From the Topeka Capital:
Take this little tip.
There win be no other legislation
except ratification Of the suffrage
amendment considered by the legisla-
ture when It meets in special session
next Monday.
One hundred and ten members Of
the house and thirty-two members Of
the senate have responded to Govern
nor Aliens query regarding o special
session.
A scant half dozen indicate that
they may bring up some sort of legis-
lative proposals. A great majority
merely state they are satisfied with
Governor Aliens plan Of brief ses-
sion for the one purpose. But twenty
members of both houses go further
and express their opposition to any
other sort Of Legislation being consid-
cred.
Sen. Ben s. Paulen, of Fredonia,
chairman of the senate rules commit
tee which regulates the senate pro-
cedure, in a letter received yesterday
states his desire As wanting to "go on
record as opposing anything else" He
adds: ~ am confident the members
Of the senate will oppose any pro-
posals of other legislation"
He is backed by Senators ]. A. Mil
ligan, of Garnett; ]. M. Satterth-
waite, of Douglas; H. F. Sutton, of st.
John; A. F. Smith, of Burden, and A.
M. Keene, of Fort Scott.
In the house, Baker, Of Wallace;
Cellar, of Coffey; Sawhill, Of Cloud;
Graham, of jackson; Scott, Of Rocks;
jackson, of Anderson; Shideler, of
Crawford; Graham, of Jackson, and
Gorham, of Russell, are among those
for suffrage only at the special ses-.
sion.
Of course, there are plenty Of legis-
lators and plenty Of persons about the
state house, who can point out
measures which are needed. But the
variety Of these differ, SO everyone
cannot be satisfied. As a result, the
general agreement is that everyone
will be best satisfied by limiting the
action to suffrage ratification alone.

Topeka. June 1g,-Mad dog scares
are a daily occurrence In Kansas. This
Is best borne out by the fact that DR..
Sara Greenfield. state bacterioloEist,
receives from one TO three dog headn
daily for examination for supposed
rabies.
Now, frankly. Doctor Greenfield Is
willing to do her duty as official state
bacteriOlogist. But she doesn't like
the smell Of SO many. dogs which do
not hive the rabies, or never did have
them when they were alive.
Also she Is aware of the fact that
to kill a dog which is suspected Of
having rabies isn't the best way Of
finding out.
"The best way to find out whether
dog Is mad is to tie him up, giving
him proper food and water, keeping
him in observation" Doctor Greenfield
said yesterday. 'If he has rabies his
symptoms will rapidly develop. There
fore, there will be no doubt in the
least on the subject in a very few days
ten at the most. This form Of in
vestigation is not only the least trou-
blesome and quickest, but is also more
reliable. Much more SO than that Of
sending the head for archaeological
examination. II, however, a few days
Of observation fails to show whether
or not the dog is infected, an inocula-
tion against rabies should be given at
once to the bitten person so as to be
on the safe side.
"The only cases in which supposed
mad dogs should be killed and the
heads sent for examination are those
in which it is impossible to secure and
confne the animal with supposed
rabies"

AREN0MEN DRIVERS
ASGAREFDL ASMEN?
Some Policemen Say No While
Others Say They Have
Fewer Acct .
dents

Topeka, June 16.-Automobiles be-
ing driven at top speed, thrilling joy
rides, frequent accidents and women
driversl Very unlikely If the women
Of Topeka are the drivers, say the
traffic cops.
Women are every bit rs reckless as
men in driving cars, the motorcycle
policemen Of the city assert.
These two different answers We're
given TO the question, "Are women
more careful drivers of automobiles
than men?"
"Not a Bit" said the fly cop, whose
business It is to haunt the by-ways
and highways Of the city in search of
speeders and wilful violators of the
traffic rules and regulations. 1--WE
have as much trouble with women
drivers as men and sometimes more.
Women speed and pay no attention
to rules of traffic. Half the time,
when a women gives q signal to turn
to the right she turns to the left. You
never can tell what she will do next"
No Unnecessary Chances
"As a general rule" said the big
pleasant-mannered traffic policeman,
who stands at the corner of Sixth and
Kansas avenues, "women are much
more careful in driving than men. At
this corner it is never the women that
take the unnecessary chances in not
slowing down or cutting in ahead of
another car. They let. the men take
the risks and are always cautious"
Only about 10 or Is per cent of the
drivers of the city pay any attention
to signals, the officer asserted. About
the same percentage of the women
drivers as Of the men know anything
about signals signifying turn to the
left, to the right or stop.
= "Don't lay all the blame for care
less driving and motor car accidents
on the women" he exclaimed, as he
called attention to the cautiousness Of
nearly every lady driver that passed
the corner. A young man passed over
the crossing, driving at the rate Of
eighteen or twenty miles an hour and
was hailed by the officer. "He didn't
stop to think" the traffic cop said.
"He is a very polite young man and
one of the most careful drivers in the
CITY,"
Watch Business Men : n
It is the drivers of cars fof dealers |
and business men that make the most
trouble by ignoring rules on Kansas
avenue, he added. Their mistakes are
only outnumbered by those made by
Out-of-town folks who have no
of the traffic ordinance.
Business men also are frequent viO-
ators. Women rank about fifth in the
list of offenders. !,
Perhaps the women Of Topeka are
.autious and law abiding where there
s much traffic and many cars and
when in the more quiet parts Of the
:ity, where there are fewer cars and
pedestrians, are speed fiends and hit
,nly the high places. At least that is
he idea sandwiched in between the
wo answers. But the fact still re-
mains that noe nearly as many women
ipeeders and violators are arrested,
lespite the many women and girls
Who drive cars.
"Women are more careful" a wo-
nan said, "but they are easily rat
led in an emergency. For this rea-
on they are frequently involved in
ccidents." But in the city of Topeka
nst about the same proportion Of
ars driven by women are involved in
rotor car accidents as those driven by I
len. j

PARIS, April e3.-The German Gov
ernment offlcially has advised tie allied
and associated Governments that the
German plenipot ent iaries will not leave
Berlin before April 2S and that they will
reach Versailles May /, at the earliest.
Seven newspaper men will accompany
the plenipotentiaries, the despatch added.
When NJ. Clemenceau recently tele-
grapheq to Berlin demanding that Ger
many send plenipotentiar!es to YER
sailles, instead Of messengers, as Ger
many proposed, 1t was fully understood
that the reason for asking for the pres
ence Of responsible personages was that
| they would be able TO raise points for
reasonable discussion and decide upon
| their acceptance or not.
II was pointed out to-day In compe-
tent allied quarters here that such rails
| ing Of points did not anticipate long ar
! guments, with possible references to
fteilin, bur merely questions which the
Allies consider might admit of slight
! moo Glfication.
| In connection with the question OF
| permitting the German delegates to the
Peace Congress to discuss the treaty Il
| has been figured out that II the treaty
were read to the Germans II would re-
quire at least one minute for each OF
| the ] 900 articles the document contains
taking up two days OF eight hours each
1t Is computed also that IL each article
] were discussed and an hour allowed eaci
| article the discussion would occupy four
months Of continued sessions Of eight
hours a day.
| These calculations are advanced as q
conclusive argument against permitting
the German delegates to discuss tho doc
! ument.
The official communications from tn

| Peace Congress have not yet mad
known the date on which the German
plenlpotentiaries will arrive at Yer
sailles. 1t is known that a small dele
cation and a suite Of seventy-five per
sons with a staff of forty telegraph op
orators and electricians to prepare TO
