The mediation committee announced
satisfactory progress in the decisions

ROW OVER THRESHING
Wheat Growers Kick on Price Wanted
by Threshers.

Emporia, June Farmers and
threshermen in Lyons county are at
outs because of a proposed increase in
threshing prices under consideration
by the threshermen. A group of prom
inent wheat growers held an indigna-
ton meeting in Emporia, and con-
demned the proposed rise in prices as
arbitrary and unfair"
The farmers contend that the cost
of threshing has not increased in the
past year and the proposed price is un-
just. The harvesters will meet in Em-
poria next week to decide the question,
and the wheat growers will meet Sat
urday to consider methods of stalfing
off the proposed increa-e. Threshers
say the price will be increased from
to 10 cents a bushel

However, all the Democrats will

they can quell all new ideas by pass

GET MORE BOY SCOUTS
National Campaign VIII Be Launched
on juno 8.

Under the direction of the citizens
committee, of which William G. Nc
Adoo is chairman, a national cam
paign to increase the membership of
the Boy Scouts of America will be
launched June 8. While the war has
interfered with the routine work of
the scouts, the membership has been
almost doubled since America entered
the war in 1917, and it is now the
intention of the organization to add
many thousand new members.
Too much praise cannot be given
the Boy Scouts for their service to
the government during the war.
Thousands of them entered the mill
tary or naval service and made the
best of soldiers and sailors. Those
who could not get IN served in other
ways. but all accomplished some es-
sential work. The national organiza-
ton now has a membership of about
100000 boys and 100000 men, The
scout laws require one man for every
eight boys in the organization.
