MUCH WHEAT IS PLANTED
Ninety Per Cent of Wheat Land A.
ready Has Been Plowed

In his latest weekly crop report,
]. G. Mohler, secretary of the State
Board Of Agriculture, says that work
on the planting Of the new winter
wheat crop is progressing rapidly
from 80 to 30 per cent Of the wheat
land of central and eastern Kansas
already having been plowed, and
some seeding is being done in the
extreme northwestern counties.
There is decided tendency
among farmers to hold their wheat
for higher market price," says the
report, than prevails at present.
This, in addition to the shortage Of
cars has caused much slower move
ment Of grain than usual"
Weather has been good for corn
with the exception Of unusually cool
nights, particularly in the northern
part of the state. In the southeast
part Of the state the corn is ''prac-
tically made" In some central and
southwestern counties the corn was
so damaged by dry weather that it
will be fit only for silage, says the
report.

Maj. Gen. w. M. Wright, former
commander Of the Thirty nth Divis'
ion, has written officers In charge OF
arrangements for the division re-
union at Topeka, Sept. 20 to % that
he>wil attend and also make an effort
to have General Pershing come.
II am delighted to learn that the
prospects are so bright for big re-
union, and l wish you every success
In connection with It," said Maj. Gen.
Wright's letter.
In an appeal to the veterans Of the
Thirty fifth he said:
las your former commander, am
greatly Interested in the reunion Of
the Lewiston Sept. 26, u and %. l
wish that every member Of the old
command would make it possible to
be In Topeka for those three days. To
renew friendship and to live over
again the days when the Thirty fifth
was helping to make world history
will not only prove genuine pleas
ure, but is, to my mind, patriotic
duty as well. Deeply interested In
the fortunes of the men of the Thir-
ty-fifth as these developed under
stress Of war, am equally proud to
have followed their successes as they
have taken up again the civic and In
dustrial duties Of the postwar per-
iOd. My best wishes for your contin-
ued good 1ortune-on to Topeka"
The slogan Of the reunion is "Ten
thousand buddies in Topeka" Men
from Missouri and Kansas made up
the division.

Camp Funston May Become Msneu
yer Field

Camp Funston probably will b.
designated as the maneuver field and
concentration point for the Seventh
army corps which includes the army
territory from Kansas to the Cana
dian border. While Fort Crook, Neb.
near Omaha. was made the corps
headquarters, as II was nearer the
center OF the area to be commanded
1t has no maneuver grounds avail
able to handle the concentration Of a
corps. Funston, 1t Is pointed out by
officers. is the logical spot to be Sc
lected for maneuvers. The final des-
ignation will be left to the corps
commander and probably will not be
made until next spring.
If Funston is selected, Kansas
will see, in future years, army
maneuvers on a scale unheard Of in
this country before. One Of the main
purposes Of the army reorganization
bill, under which the old department
system was abolished and that Of
corps areas substituted, was to give
chance for training officers, in
peace times. in the command Of large
numbers of troops and to give large
units training in working together.
The maneuvers in the past generally
consisted Of only brigade or two
at the best, and only when the ma
tional guard and regulars were mass
ed on the Mexican border was there
any chance to handle larger units in
the field.
1t is planned under the army re-
organization bill to have grand corps
maneuvers periodically. Not only
will the regular army units be con-
centrated for period Of maneuvers,
but the national guard from the
states in the areas will be asked to
ntObilize and train as an integral part
Of the corps. 1t is contemplated to |
bring into play maneuvers on a war |
scale, including all branches of the
cavalry, field artil-
cry, tank troops and aerial squad
IONS. together with the supply and
trains.

TROOPS HOME NEXT WEEK
Gen. Wood Notifies Denver Off
Gals to Organize Men

According to the Denver papers thu
troops from Camp Funston who have
been on duty in that city for the pas,
few weeks will-be returned to theil
home station after Labor Day.
At meeting with the city Off
Gals General Wood asked that the
city form an organization Of extra
policemen and he would detail an
officer to drill and train them so they
would be capable Of handling a mob.
The trouble In Denver is not yet
over a majority of the street car men
not returning to work. and the Den
yer people believe trouble will start
as soon as the soldiers are taken on
their guard duty.

The two lawyer members Of tn,

the 90 per cent increase in telephone
rates for business lines called an &C.
cOantant today to justify the break
ing Of the contract and raise In rates.
g A. Bngh, chief accountant for the
court, issued statement showing in
creases In various commodities be-
tween January l, 1912, and the first
Of the present year. The statement
said:
Much criticism has been directed
at public service commission all over
the country for the increased rates
allowed for telephone service, electric
service and other public service. The
commission Of the state Of Kansas
has not escaped this criticism, much
Of which has been very bitter.
"The accounting department Of

made brief survey Of the records
and makes the following statement,
which, 1t is believed is comparative

"A comparison OF street car fares
cannot be made, because in many In
stances they are the same as in
1913. TN Lawrence, Kan, the street
car fare has been increased 40 per
cent. In Topeka, if we had straight
Scent cash fare without tickets, the
increase would be so per cent. The
fare put in effect by the recent order
of the Court Of Industrial Relations
is intended to favor the regular pa
irons Of the car line, which, Of
course, includes working people, by
giving them a low ticket fare Of 6A
cents, which be an increase over the
old 5 cent fare of only 25 per cent"
The statement concluded with the
assertion that these figures ought to
convince the general public that there
has been no profiteering in public
utilities. Just why the Industrial
court was asked to come to the de-
tense of the public utilities commits
sion at this time was not explained
in the statement.
