grounds:
This contract was entered into
just prior to the entrance of the
Government into the European
War and the extraordinary adj

MARTIAL and the extreme scarcity
of labor at any price has made it
practically out of the question to
carry on any contract work, es-

on pre-war conditions.
further call your attention to
the fact that the Parish was UNI
able under this contract to fur

secure car service thus causing
me additional expense maintain

In view of these facts respect

PAY HARVEST HANDS
 $15 A DAY IN KANSAS

Kansas farmers are paying as high as S15 day, with room and board for harvest hands. Frank McIvor, special deputy state fire marshal in Western Kansas watching for I. w. w. out breaks, wrote letter to the state fire marshal in which he said:
 With wheat dead ripe, farmers of western Kansas appear to have lost all idea of the value of dollar in their desire to get harvest help and are bid ding undreamed of prices.
 At Salina I heard farmer offer 70 cents an hour for shockers and barge men. A little further west this price went to 80 and 90 cents. Al Ellsworth one farmer had taken a bunch at S11 day, and today here in Hays $15 was the high figure.
 Reaching on either. side of the track between Russell and Hays as far as the eye can see is one huge field of golden grain waiting to be harvest ed, with only about one-tenth enough help to care for it..
 "The prices the farmers are willing to pay for help are not conducive to the discomfort the I. W. WIS desire to

tablishing losses is that of sales of securities in times of market depres- sion and their purchase immediate ly and, if possible, at an equivalent price. Deductions running into the hundreds of millions of dollars are made every year by this expedient, and there is apparently no way of pre- venting this very extensive practice since it is apparently within the law.
 The New York Stock Exchange Committee on Business Conduct has transactions of this character and has forbidden its members to accept orders for sales and repurchases when they are transparently made for the purchase of tax avoidance.
 It is in most cases, however, almost impossible to trace transactions of this sort if two or more brokerage method is now most generally resorted to. Indeed, some of the tax slackers have a half dozen different accounts and as the selling and buying orders are seldom made simultaneously the brokers have no means of knowing that they are not made in good faith, while the Stock Exchange is without evidence that it's regulation against wash" sales or matched orders is be- ing violated.
 BIG Operators Work 1t
 During the slump of last December itA is common gossip in Wall Street that many of the biggest financial operators in the country took ad vantage of the declines to make off sets against war profits running in many instances, into seven figures.
 When the market is advancing, however, as it has been during the last four mouths these men cannot take profits without an income tax liability, that it is pretty difficult to avod. So, after all, there is law of compensation that at times prevails against the unscrupulous. Indeed the great rise in stock values is one of the most humorous phases of the remarkable bull movement now un- der way.
 Rich owners of thousands of shares of Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, Sinclair Oil, Mexican Petroleum, Gen eral Motors, United Cigars, and other stocks that have more than doubled in value, as compared with their orig inal purchase price, have had to sit tight and see the little fellows reap the profit on these advances because if they sold they would have to give 60 per cent of their profits to the Federal tax collector.

 Synopsis
 Having been cold-shouldered out of society" and the local country club

 To carry out this project he calls in to play an old accomplishment of his college days, that of disguising him.

 There had been talk of raising a huSC ohiOuiiI OI hiOhCy bhO 1eOu

 promised a fabulous amount. As the
 Countess he proceeds to raise money
 in punches and is greatly amused at
 the ease with which he Is able to
 fleece the men particularly.
 The situation becomes tense and
 the outlook is extremely doleful for the Countess, who becomes suspect
 ed of theft and other crimes, but a laughable climax ends the whole thing
 in a gale of fun with, in addition, an extremely substantial and to the credit

Loss of Appetite,

As general rule, there is nothing serious about loss of appetite, and if you ship a meal or only eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should al- ways elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period of rest be- fore a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take reasonable amount of out door exercises every day you will n5t need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by constipation as it often is the case that should be corrected at once, A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do 1t.
