OVERALL CLUB FAD.

The Overall Cub fac that Birming-
ham is using as an advertising stunt
as an alleged protest against the
high cost of living, has little to rec
ommend it except as a boost for the
sale Of overalls. Every man who
joins the So-calied club will have to
pay out good money for suit Of
oyeraIis that he really does not need
and instead of hurting the business
OF the clothing dealers it will enorm-
ously increase their sales in one line,
with the probable advance in prices
as the result, thereby working a herd
ship on the workingmen who need
and must have overalls.
The overall manufacturers will
reap a harvest and the Overall Club
members will enjoy the brief notori-
ETY. of special costume. 1t seems to
be a silly ano childish performance
since not one per cent of the overall
wearers will buy single garment
less for his regular wardrobe. an(
ALI they will accomplish will be the
unnecessary expenditure Of the price
of a suit Of overalls. would be
much more sensible to form an ole
clothes club with the membership
pledged to buy no new clothes Sc
long as they could appear in puoil(
deeently clad, in accordance witt
police regulations.

nished another house in Englewood,
N. j., and had large amount of house
hold goods in storage as well.
The Gaillards left the Morrison home
about two weeks ago. Yesterday it
was discovered that a quantity of chill
dren's clothing and other articles were
missing, and Chief Conran and Patrol
man Thomas j. Brown were summoned.
In searching the quarters formerly oc-
cupied by the butler and his wife they
found numerous express receipts show
ing they had shipped suit cases at diff
ferent times to themselves at New Ro-
chelle.
Following up this clew, the sumptu-
ously furnished house for which the
Gailards are said to have paid $4,000
down, with the promise to pay $1,000
more within a year, was discovered and
searched. For their services a. butler
and cook the Gaillards received $3.50 a
month, generally. Chief Conran de-
cared that the value of the articles he
intended to remove from their home in
New Rochelle was at least $35 900 or
10000.
Some of those who are said to have
employed the couple recently are

BIC CROP is CUT
Kansas Wheat of 100000
Acres Practically Harvested.
Much Interest in MOhler Esti-
mate To Be Made This Week.

The Kansas wheat crop of more
than 100000 acres is harvested,
with the exception of a few fields in
the extreme northwestern part of the
state. It was just a month ago to-
day that the big job got under way
in the southern counties and in a
brief thirty days Kansas farmers have
harvested enough wheat to feed for
a year a third of the population OF
the United States. Kansas again
stands the premier wheat growing
state of the nation.
The outstanding feature of the new
crop is the come back" it staged in
the last few months. During win
ter unprecedented for drouth in the
great wheat belt of central Kansas,
the prospects of the crop dwindled to
a minimum With the opening of

of wheat sagged lower as wind storm

after wind storm swept across the
state, barring the roots of the wneat
in some fields and burying others IN
drifts of sand and earth. With the
arrival of spring, in many localities,
the wheat was scarcely started Its
condition was officially pronounced as
most unpromising. The first Official
estimate of the crop las& May. was
around 100000 bushels.
In a month more favorable condi-
'tions-much needed rain-had re-
vived the crop until the official fore
cast was boosted to 11O.OO0,00O. The
last report by the state board of agri-
culture indicated that the total acre
age had formerly been underesti-
mated, assessors returns showing thao
the total would exceed 1O.2OO,OOo
acres. In this report the Kansas bu-
reau of the federal bureau OF crop
statistics estimated the crop wouln
run 1928 bushels to the acre. In view
of official reports that the yield Is
better than expected" and the cur,

will be. much interest is manifested
