WHAT OF HARVEST wAde2
Cloud County Sets 90 cents--Loeai
Farmers VIII Not Pay 20 Cents

How to prevent other central
branch counties outhidding them for
harvest hands is the problem before
Cloud county wheat raisers. They
met at Concordia and fixed the max
imum wage of 90 cents an hour but
admitted they were powerless II
other wheat raisers raised the ante.
Recently western Kansas wheat
growers met at Hutchinson and fix
ed 70-cent wage. but many farm
ers refused to sign the agreement.
Farmers theer say now the outlook
is that the highest bidder will get
the hands unless the central branch
farmers agree on a wage. A meet
ing of northwestern Kansas farmers
will be called soon to get together on
the proposition.
Many farmers in Dickinson declar-
ed they will not pay the 20 cents
harvest wage announced for the state.
They declared they were not a part
of the organization that did that at
n meeting at Hutchinson and that
Dickipson county was not even rep
resented There. Memhern q form
,.rs organizations here charged that
politicians set that wage and that
farmers had nothing to do with 1t.

Neither parent nor guardian appear

Anti Gambling Drive
Results in Arrest
OF s Poker Players

That all gambling has not been
halted by the sweeping crusade
against Wire Tappers." bootleggers,
Migrants and other undesirables in
Atlanta was shown Thursday night
when Lieutenant of Detectives r.
L Waggoner, Detective Doyal and
Police Commissioner Andy King Wis
tied room at a local hotel and
broke up a game Of poker which was
in progress there at the time.
AS a result of the visit J. A.
Hampton, who gave his occupation as
a barber and his residence as the
Princeton hotel, was arrested and
placed under $4,000 bond, and seven
men were taken into custody and
each held in $500 bond.
The men were surprised in the
game by the police and an attempt
was made by the players to hide the
cards and money, the police say.
Several decks of cards. dice and
sandpaper were found in the room
under the bed and dresser.
The police say they have informa-
ton to the effect that Hampton is a
we'll known gambler. The sandpaper
found in the room has led the police
to believe that crooked gambling
through the roughing of cards and
shaving of edges was used when GER
tain victims were lured into the
game.
