OKLAHOMA HARVESTERS
HEAD FOR SUNFL D We R.
STATE OF KA NSA S

Oklahoma City, June 29.--With the
harvesting in full swing throughout
the Oklahoma wheat belt, and enough
laborers at all points to handle the
needs of the farmers. men are going
to turn in large numbers to the ripen-
ing Kansas fields, according to reports
received by Claude +. Connally, state
commissioner of labor. and federal
director Of labor for the state.
"A majority of farmers in southern
Kansas will be cutting this week IL
weather remains clear, and central
Kansas will be ready two or four
days later" says a bulletin received
by Connally today, from Kansas,
"Pawnce, Edwards and Pratt coun
ties, on the Kansas, report supplies
OF labor apparently adequate for the
entire harvest. Surplus south cen
trail countries have surplus at
present, but expect to need all or
even more within a week. A few
counties see a positive need for more
men next week"

UNPRINCPLED GH0ULS

Some one, some person or number
of persons devoid of principle, in
whose breasts human hearts do not
pulsate, whose minds are warped and
depraved. who are political enemies,
or the tools of political enemies Of
Governor Cox, leading candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency, dug up and gave to the
San Francisco papers the story of
ten years ago-the hidden and tragic
chapter in his life, the story of his
divorce from his first wife.
This was evidently done in order
that women delegates, entertaining a
holy horror for divorce, would turp
against Cox and permit their personal
prejudices to blind their judgment and
cause them to cast their votes against
him when the balloting al San Fran.
cisco begins.
The persons. no matter who they
are, who promulgated this idea, were
as devoid Of principle as the devil,
himself, as unscrupulous as nell and
as false to their party as Judas was
to his Master. They are ghouls, mas
querading in the guise Of men-ghouls
who fatten with feastings upon the
decaying flesh Of their own dead;
ghouls who laugh in glee as they
dance to the music of the rafting
bones of family skeletons, long hidden
from the prying eye and forgotten
by most of those who may ever have
known Of their existence.
1t matters not whether the ones
guilty are Democrats or Republicans
by profession or protestation, they
bear all the marks Of syndicali.sts. for
men who would stoop to anything SO
beastly unfair, men who would drag
10 light a buried and forgotten page
Of another mans marital infelicity,
would not hesitate to betray their
country, their country's flag and their
God.
And the newspaper, the yellow
sheet which would willingly throw
open its columns for such a story
builds about it fence of disreputable-
ness which places it outside the pale
Of legitimate and honorable Journal

Fortunately it cannot he said that
more serious grounds for "a divorce
were advanced by Cox's wife, No. /,

GERMAN ENTRY To
NATIONS LEAGUE:
PLAN TO STRENGTHEN GOVERN
MENT AGAINST MONARCHIAL
REACTION.

London, Jan. 31.-One of the first
subjects for discussion before the re-
newed peace conference in London
three weeks hence will be the propo-
sal to admit Germany to the league
of nations.
The British and even the French
feel the league will be incomplete
and powerless without her, and it also
is felt that admittance will strength
en- the hands of the present German
government against both monarchial
reaction and bOlshevist revolution.
The former kaiser will not be tried.
The French now are definitely op-
posed to the trial and the British
government is much relieved at Hol.
lands refusal to surrender the refu-
gee. 1t is felt here that the premier
has fulfilled his election pledge in
making the demand, and cannot be
expected to go on.
The next step will be a request
from the Allies to Holland that she
guarantee the former waiser's safe
keeping and prevent his return to
Germany. The allies also may sug-
gest he be interned farther from the
German frontiers, and it is even sug-
gested he be interned in the Dutch
West Indies.
The sensational jouranl, John
Bull" editor Horatio Bottomley, M.
p, today devotes two pages to bit
ter attack on America based on edi-
torials and news stores from the
Hearst papers cabled here. He says
America is hostile to the allies and
only interested in trade profits, and
the allies might as well recognize the
fact first as last.
"I'm fed up with Uncle Sam," bold
Horatio pens. "The time has come
for plain speaking. The truth is that
throughout the first three years of
the struggle with Germany the
United States waited to see which
way the fortunes of war inclined, as
to finally come in on the winning
side"
Bottomley is the lowest type of
demagogue, but his paper has circu-
lation Of more than million, chiefly
among the lowest class of sports. :"
The point of his attack is that he
thinks it would be popular, and there
is no doubt that the Hearst campaign
is creating bitter feeling among all
classes here who believe it represents
general American sentiment.

LAIN Of PERU UP
TO LEAGUE COUNCIL
SOUTH AMERICAN NATION TO
FURNISH FIRST CASE FOR CON-
SHERATON OF COVENANT.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 31.-The
Western hemisphere probably will
furnish the first case to come before
the council of the league of nations.
Advices were received here today
that the national assembly of Peru
had adopted resolution providing
for the submission to the league coun-
Gil of the claim of Peru for the prov
inces of Tecna and africa, which have
been held by Chile for more than 20
years as the result of the war with
Peru. BY the terms of the peace
treaty between the two countries, a
plebiscite was to be held within ten
years after Chilean occupation of the
provinces to determine whether they
should remain Chilean or revert to
Peru. This plebiscite has never been
held and the Peruvians now are rep
resented as determined to bring their
claims before the only tribunal which
has yet been created competent to
deal with such a grave question of
conflicting national claims.
Bolivia also is a claimant to Tacna,
which she claims to be inhabited
principally by Bolivians and to afford
the only seaport open to her, while
both Chile and Peru have other Pa
cific ports.
1t is expected that the Peruvian
Chilean-Bolivian case will serve to
start the machinery of the league in
motion. The procedure is likely to
be the filing by the Peruvian minis
ter at Paris or London of an applica-
ton with Sir Eric Drummond, the
secretary of the council of the league,
to have the matter brought before
that body. The council, in turn, prob
ably not being informed as to the
issues in the case, will call on the
secretariat of the league to secure
the necessary briefs from the inter-
ested parties to the case and when
that has been done will proceed to
consider the conflicting claims on
their merits. AS the issues are sole
ly between American states and no
European interests are believed to be
involved, it is not anticipated that
the Monroe doctrine can figure in any
way that would warrant the partici-
patton of the United States in view Of
the fact that this government has not
yet Joined the league.

TIN PRODUCTION
IN FULL SWING
HILL CITY DISTRICT RESUMES
FEATURE MINING INDUSTRY
LONG NEGLECTED..

Hill City, Jan. 31.-The develop
ment of the tin mines of this part of
the Black Hills is progressing well
and the production of tin promises
in the near future to be an important
part of the mining industry of the
Black Hills.
The Cowboy mine, one Of the
being developed in this vicinity by a
large company with ample capital,
after an enforced shutdown of about
six weeks because of shortage of
coal, has resumed operations. with
three shifts of men working.
The first chute of tin ore recently
found in the Mohawk, another of the
mines, proved to be 100 feet long,
running north from the point where
1t was struck. How far the chute
runs south yet is to be determined.
Take Out Rich Ore.
In drifting with the vein six car
loads of excellent ore was taken out,
and now is at the MILL
The Boom, another of the tin
mines. is showing up the finest tin
ore yet found. When sinking began
on the vein it was only eight inches
wide and the vertical shaft left it at
about 80 feet, but the vein has come
into the shaft again at so feet, and
now is two and one-half feet wide
and very rich in character; in fact,
not little of it is specimen ore and
looks to be 10 per cent ore.
The shaft house is nearing compile
ton and the boilers are being put in
place, so that hosting ore by steam
power villa soon begin.
Anothefs large company is prepar-
ing to develop extensive mining
ground belonging to it which is situ-
ated few miles south of Hill City.
