Reports indicate that Kansas Is
fairly staggering under the weight OF
its crops. More than a billion dollars
in round numbers, will be the measure
of it's farm products this year, but the
breakdown of the railroads has halted
the movement of the crops to markets
Threshing is going on; barns over
flow and more crops stand ready to be
threshed, but there are no cars to haul
it way. The State Department of Ag'
riculture two months ago advised
stacking as the most economical sort
of storage, if done right, but the trou-
BILE is that stacking has become almost
a lost art-it takes an expert to pile
up the grain in such way that the
stacks would be protected from the
weather. Many are buying great tar
paulins. In some sections, even, there
are piles of last seasons wheat still
stacked, still unthreshed and unmar-
keted and it all goes back to the short
age of cars.

ROAD CONDITIONS
DISGRACE STATE
A. Mason Gibbes Finds South Caro-
lima Highways" Worst En-
countered on Long Trip.

A. Mason Gibbes, president OF the
South carolina Automotive Trade as
sociation, says the Columbia State,
has returned from an automobile trip
of about 1000 miles. He reports a
very pleasant trip and talks interest
inply of road conditions. "1t would
be impossible to compare with roads
of other states" Mr.. Gibbes says,
"and that, to the shame of and dis
grace of South Carolina, it had no
roads that could be fairly compared
with those of the states of the North.
"About the very worst stretch OF
South Carolina road is that right here
at our doors-the Two Notch road
between Columbia and the KershaW
line. This is the socalled Washington
to Atlanta highway, which is, in fact
a highway until it reaches the South
Carolina line. There are few miles
in South Carolina which are good
some just Beyond Cheraw and about
three miles just this side Of CheraW'
and some fair road between Mcbee
and Camden. The stretch in Richland
county is, after having driven over
the good roads of North Carolina Vlr'
ginia, Maryland, New Jersey, etc. a
most striking contrast and when one
takes such a trip he comes home
amazed that a civilized community
continues to suffer such road conoi-
tions," says Mr.. Gibbes
"The communities with good roads
are not only enjoying those roads, bu'
in addition are saving enormously by
having them. We are paying in two
wavs-in discomforts and in dollars
and cents, as by actual tests on the
trim in question, the gasoline mileage
ON the bad roads of this state was
33 1-3 to so per cent greater, ana
,rbsn it comes to upkeep of a vehicle
,nclnd;ne tire expense, it is safe 70
cav that this would be also at least oo
per cent" ,
:. While in Virginia Mr.. Roddey anu
Mr. Gibbes had occasion to investga'e
the road system there. The roads are
principally gravel roads, but they are
excellent and are maintained in a BUS
;nesslike way, a competent man De-
ing put in charge of certain section

maintenance and upkeep on his section
would not exceed $1,000 per MONTH
this being a maximum figure and COW
ering all periods of the year. He also
stated that the entire road system OF
the state would average about the
same. The Virginia plan seems to be
to build good gravel roads and alb
solutely maintain them until such time
as the money is available for building
hard surface roads.
Mr.. Gibbes further states that he
knows people in Baltimore who had
been in the habit of driving their cars
to the South in the winter time, in
the last few years had discontinued
this practice, going to Florida by
train instead, due to bad road condi-
tions in South Carolina.

In W Washington
For Busy Week
Senator Much Benefited
by Two-Day Rest at the
Frelinghuysen Country
Home in New Jersey
Talks for Record To-day
Western Republicans May
Succeed in Getting Visit
From Nominee in October

From The Trlbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June %. - Senator
and Mrs. Warren G. Harding reached
Washington at 10:o5 o'clock tonight
from The Hill, Senator Frelinghuy
sens country place at Raritan, n. j..
where the nominee spent two days in
search of much-needed rest
II feel fine" he said on his arrival.
He admitted that his effort to hide
out" over the weekend had been COM
pletely unsuccessful.
The Senator went directly to his
home from the Union Station. He said
he would be at his Office at 10:30 in
the morning.
Waiting for Senator Harding's at
tenton tomorrow morning is tre-
mendous accumulation of mail and tel
egrams, and each day until Saturday,
when he starts for his home at Marion,
Ohio, is crowded with important en-
gagements. His running mate, Gov
ernor Calvin Coolidge of Massachu-
sets, is coming here Wednesday from
Boston for conference. 1t is also
probable that he will see Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, once more before he starts
West.
The nominee is to deliver a speech
on Americanization tomorrow into the
recording horn of a talking machine
Records OF this speech are to be re
leased on independence Day. In the
afternoon he is to talk with Ogder
Reid, of New York. who is coming here
at Senator Harding's invitation.
Although every Western politician
that has called on Senator Harding has
urged him to alter his front-porch cam
paign program to make a speaking tour
of the West. there has been no hint
from tha nominee that he would give
way to this pressure. Chairman Hay.
is opposed to his leaving Marion during
the campaign and Senator Harding i:
in accord with this idea. However
there is possibility that the mpor
tunities for him to show himself to tht
public beyond the Mississippi may have
the effect of making him change hi:
mind along in October.
Receives Good Luck Tokens
In the Senator's mail to-day were
two tokens of good luck. One WAS E
tiny horseshoe wrought by Charles
Dorsuch, blacksmith of Martinsburg
Pa, who honestly can call himself ar
original Harding man, for he sent the
Senator a similar pocket piece to bring
him good luck in the pre-conventior
campaign. Moreover, Senator Harding
has carried it ever since. Both of the
horseshoes are perfect in detail, bu
neither is larger than the outline O.
the average mans little finger nail.
THE other horseshoe won the nomi
nation, and this one will win you the
election" confidently predicted the
blacksmith in his letter.
The other good-luck token was e
small American silk flag that was car
ried in the pocket of an A. E. F. mar

off we send our armies and young
abroad to be killed and wounded in
Northern France and Flanders with no
result but this, our entrance into war
with such an intention was a crime
which nothing can justify. The in

recur. We cannot make peace except
in Company with our allies. 1t would

Assail Republican View
Thus to that which the Republican
leader considered the backest crime
his party in Congress would give the
sanctity of law; that which seventeen
months ago was of everlasting dishonor,
the Republican Congress accepts as the
essence of faith. And because a Demo
cratic President blocks the way of this

Marbury, as the delegates laughed.
Defeat in Wet Plank
Martin Wyvell, of Wellsville, a
friend of Bryan, said the Democrats
would be inviting sure defeat if they

said that for every Republican vote
