Railroads and Harvest

IS The demand which Governor Alien is max
Ing upon the railroad administration for rates
for harvest hands to the Kansas wheat fields
does not appear unreasonable. Under private
control the roads have granted the rates in for
mer years, and Kansas has received help from
Is far east as Pittsburgh and from Cleveland.
The excuse offered by Walker D. Hines for
the administration, that if the rate is granted
to Kansas other states will demand rates for
men who work in the different industries of vital
importance, does not present any serious prob
lem If the demand for labor in any vital in
dustry is as important as the Kansas wheat sit
uation, there should be no hesitancy on the
part Of the railroads to cooperate in getting
The labor to the place of demand
The suggestion made by Mr.. Hines that the
Kansas farmers are prosperous and should pay
wages that will attract men from all sections of
the country is gratuitous advice from Mr..
Hines. No complaint is made of the wages.
From four to FIVE dollars day for harvest
hands is regarded as very attractive. But the
period of harvest labor is so short that it would
be impossible to pay wages, that would justify
harvest hands from Ohio and Penn ylvana pay
ing full fare on the railroads.&c. present rates,
anyway-for the two or three weeks work in
the harvest fields.
The position taken by Mr.. Hines has not
added to the popularity of the railroad admin

BOOSTERS and the Welfare Board.

Omaha, July 2.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Orchard Hill is con-
vulsed with merriment. Your mar
rative about the Welfare board and
the rooster brought down the house.
Nearly everybody up here keeps
chickens. So also did the folks who
don't like the ROSTERS crow, until
the chickens refused to thrive and
finally died under the cold persistent
cynical nagging of their household.
A rooster can die and have peace,
but some men have to live on (See
Mr.. Jiggs.) The sentiment is about
equally divided as to whether 3S46
Hamilton street should be lynched
for disturbing the sweet slumbers of
his neighbors by toerating a
rooster that persists in sending forth
his clarion tones in the wee small
hours of the morning; or whether
ne should be induced to start
sanitarium to restore the hearing of
the deaf. Why is it some folks can
not hear the door bell when the bill
collector calls, but is disturbed by
the mild notes of poor rooster who
Is only fulfilling the instincts of ma
ture? We are going to put plush
rugs out in the street so that the
autos will not disturb our sensitive
neighbors! But, say, Mr.. Editor,
why should an old hen object to
the crdwing of rooster? The We'll
fare board is not living up to it's OPP
portunities. 1t should protect our
suffering citizens. Would it not be
a good move to commence action in

SUMMER HEAT.

In these days of summer heat
I should like to make retreat
To the mountains, or the lake.
Where my thirst I fain would Stake
From the ripping hillside stream;
Or perchance. could sit and dream
OF the bass and mountain trout
Idly swarming all about,
Round my hook on every side
Mindful not Of time or tide;
Birds a-singing in the trees;
Pine trees murmuring In the breeze;
Then, mayhap, In summer heat,
I could keep my temper sweet.

The Two Finger Signal.
DEGGY's father, returning home

brought her charming green bath
ing suit as a present. 1t was so
pretty Peggy had to try it on at
once,
And after she had it on, she
thought what fun it would be to
frolic in the spray of the lawn hose.
Out she ran to the back yard, but
when she got there she found Norah,
the maid, using the hose to wash
windows, So Peggy ran up and down
the lawn In her bare feet, enjoying
the tickling sensation of the grass.
When she grew tired she sat in the
hammock to rest until Nor;H was
through.
"Hoo-hoo!" cried Billy Belgium
from the shrubbery at the side of the
yard. "Hoo-hoo!" and he held up
two fingers
The two figures looked to Peggy
like some kind of a signal and she
wondered what they meant. She
wondered, too, why Billy kept him

berry. showing only his head and his
partly closed hand with the two
fingers standing up straight

shaking the two fingers at her Wig
orousy.
Hello, Billy, come on in," said
Peggy, but Billy only shook his fin
gers commandingly, while once more
he uttered the mysterious call, Hoo
hoo"
Peggy's curiosity was aroused and
she ran to the edge of the shrub
berry.
What do you want?" she asked.
Don't you know what that
means?" whispered Billy, as he
shook his two fingers before her CNs.

Peggy.
"Oh, OF course not. You're just
a girl. 1t means, Come on in swim

'Swimming?" Peggy was much

surprised. "Why, the bathing beach
is miles from here"
But there's a dandy deep hole in
the river" responded Billy, and now
Peggy saw the reason he had kept
himself partly hidden he was dressed
in his bathing suit.
ooh, I'd love to go swimming
but"
What Peggy intended to say was
left unfinished, for Billy seized her
by the hand and drew her running
toward the river. They never paused
until they reached the fishing place
where, in former adventure, they
had been puzzled by the mystery of
the vanishing fish.

Confusion in Published Orders.

NJ. r. J.-You are not alone in
your predicament; others are also
confused by the apparently contra
dictory orders that are published
from time to time with reference to
the army. Things have moved fast
in the last few weeks, and as events
have developed changes have been
forced in the military program. 1t
is only certain that the American
forces in France are being removed
as speedily as possible, and that
within the present month they may
all be out Of that country. 1t is also
settled that troops held in Germany
will be>removed with all expedition.
The army bill just passed provides
for an army of 100000 for the COM
ing year, which necessitates the de-
mobilization Of forces at home with
utmost expedition. The latest an
nouncement from the War depart
ment to the effect that the army will
be reduced to $4,000 officers and

to mean that all American soldiers
will be returned from Europe by
