KANSAS BUSTERS IN THE SUN.
Temperature Reaches High Mark of
 III at McPherson.

Topeka, July 10.-Kansas fairly siz- zled under scorching sun today, the temperature reaching high marks, es- pecially in the west central and south ern parts of the state. Harvest hands and farm animals in the wheat belt suffered under the blistering heat and work in the fields was retarded to some extent.
 The mercury reached III degrees at McPherson and some parts of the adjacent country reported tempera- lures from six to nine degrees higher. Very little breeze was stirring to bring relief for workers in the har- vest fields. Work was handicapped by the effect of the intense heat on men and horses. Several hands were forced to quit work Altho the ani- malls are suffering, not as many deaths were reported as there were a few days ago when fifty died near Me Pherson.
 Clay Center, always one of the dry spots in Kansas in summer, has had no rain for more than a month. The mercury reached 104 degrees there to- day. The same temperature was rec orded at Salina, where farmers say a good rain is needed.
 Hutchinson, in the heart of the wheat belt, reported temperature of lOl, while it was 104 degrees at EDO rado. In Topeka the maximum tenn perature was 96 degrees, one degree less than yesterdays mark. A fresh breeze from the northeast at nightfal gave slight relief. There are no pres. ent indications that the heat wave will be broken soon.

it would show a loss to the South greater than the increase in the value of our industrial development.
 sWe have natural advantages sur passing those of any other equal area in the world, but we worship the fet- tish of cotton and are still paying the penalty for violating the law Of god and the law of economic life. We have thought in terms of cotton and some times it has almost seemed that our moral fiber had been to some extent sapped by this cotton worship, until some of our people, apparently, had cotton strings for backbones and cot- ton boles for brains.
 We have yielded up the most price, less heritage of naturad advantages ever given to any people on earth thru eur worship of cotton and the domina- tion of the worlds cotton market by the buyers instead of by the produc- CTS"
 Yes, we have yielded the priceless heritage of natural advantages by our own folly, but the Senate of the Unit ed States, backed by President Wilson, has determined the South shall be handicapped politically for all time to come by bringing the negroes, men and women, into politics. The vast West is calling for settlers and it will help their immigration agents to point to the South as undesirable with ne- groes back of politics.

The South's PosslbiIities.

Speaking of the possibilities of the South, the Manufacturers Record says:
 When We study the achievements of the South prior to the Civil War, and the achievements of this section since 1865, we are amazed at what has been the record of progress since the far-fung battle line of the Confeder- acy crumbled into dust. But when we take a different viewpoint and study the marvellous advantages given by the God of Nature to his favored land, we are forced to realize that we have not made the most of our opportunity
 @This section should be far and away the richest and most poprlcrx part of America. It should he the center of the nations industrial ac- tivities; the center of diversified farm ing, and it should surpass in wealth that of the Easteris and Central West ern states. We had the soil, and we still have the climate and the natural resources We wasted much of our soil by bad tiIlage. Some years be- fore his death, Edward Atkinson, the Boston political economist, said of the deterioration of the Soutb's. soil by bad tiIlage. that if jt could be ststis- tically presented in dollars and cents

SINGING CONVENTION
 AT yANDERyOORT

The Singing convention of Polk county which met at Cecil Chapel on last Sunday was grand success. There was a large crowd in attend ance. The singers and congregation were called in about 9:30 a. m., by few choice songs lead by Will Meeks., after which Columbus Mershon, our county president, made an interesting talk on singing and the upbuilding of the convention work over the county, followed by leading few cheering songs.
 A lesson of three songs each was lead by Messrs. Carl Syms, Willard Hamilton, Lester Syms, Claude Bry- ant, John Trammell, Henry Hamilton and Bill Gladden.. This was followed by quartet by Mir. and Mrs. Burl Mershon, Morrow Mershon and Gold en Hamilton.
 The noon hour being at hand the congregation was dismissed for din- ner by Grandpa Collier.
 After enjoying nice dinner and the mingling of many friends the house was called to order for the afternoon. The large and most enthusiastic crowd of singers took their respective places on the singing circle. First session of three choice songs was lead by Burl Mershon from the Victory, then three songs by Alvin Cartwright from the Victory, and a quartet by Marble Hill, after which the singers were lead by Messrs. Claude Bryant and Carl Syms of Westview. After enjoying the good singing of a greater portion of the day, the various classes were called for the contest singing.
 New Bethel, Cecil Chapel, Shilo and Marble Hill classes participated Each class sang two selections which were enjoyed very much and exhibited tai ents of which Polk county should be pround.
 Welcome Home, Shilo and Wander voort were the three places which made application for the next conven. ton. Vandervoort was selected. The 
 closing and most interesting address was delivered by the Rev. J. W. Full. ton, on the subject of music, the ne. cessity of singing and the advance ment of musical education, which was highly endorsed. especially by those who are interested in singing. After the lecture the Rev. Mir. Fulton lead several pieces and concluded by sing ing the closing song.
 The congregation was dismissed hy Uncle Francis Cecil, to meet at Van dervoort on the 1st Saturday and Sun day in October
 We, the Polk County Singing Con vention, do hereby offer out heartfelt the courtesy and most liberal hospi tality shown us by the good people oi thanks, and great appreciation fol New Bethel and Cecil Chapel during this session of the Convention.

 pre Secretary.
