Has Ouija
Board Got
In Politics i?
George Washington, Mt. Vernon,
Va. "Henry Clay" and Daniel
Webster" Return From Spirit World
to Help Favored Candidates Win In
Shawnee.

Has the ouija board entered into
politics?
Kenneth Raub. county clerk, thinks
it has. Raub has to check over the
nominating petitions of the various
candidates who have filed for county
offices. and in doing so today he came
across the name of George Washing
ton. Mt. Vernon. Va" one of the
signers Henry Clay and Daniel Web
ster also affixed their signatures to one
of the petitions, but forgot to add their
places of residence.
Raub recalls that these three men
were eminent statesmen, deeply in
terested in the political, movements of
their times. That they should retain
some vestige of their lifetime activi-
ties in the spirit world is only natural.
But whether they came voluntarily
and offered to sign the petitions of
their favorite candidates. or whether
they were called upon via the ouiJa
board as a last resort by some candi-
date running short on signers is still a
mystery.
II guess We'll have to let George
name stand" said Raub. I'VE can't
dispute the signature of the Father
of Our Country"

ham, deputy. IT don't mind checking
over the list of the living, but 1 draw

$1,000 OF salary received by the minis

ing for the minister and a joint pen
sion providing for a pension for the

The wording of this ordinance is
plain, and should leave no room for
misundersta nding; but, nevertheless,
the telephone and light poles in To-
peka are plastered with all sorts of
posters, proclaiming the candidacy of
candidates for county office. Perhaps
they are not aware of the restrictions
against bill posting on public property
or on private property without tie
consent of the owner-but t would
seem to be a poor admission of ignor-

pubic office to make. Perhaps they

when officers figured the $4,000 men
would be necessary if a 10 million
bushel crop was to be harvested in
Kansas this year.
May Avert Shortage.
The faulty advance information on
the premature harvest in Kansas. the
consequent surplus of labor gathered
in the state, and the independent hand
picking of these harvest hands by
thousands of farmers and failure to
report the number employed to the
state employment bureau has made an
estimate on the number of men need
ed next to impossible.
Mohler stated in his report Thurs
day that serious shortage might be
averted. There are thousands of men
in Kansas registered at the Wichita
office for work in the harvest fields.
have thousands on hand, the Wichita
office has been assured.
If someone hasn't STORED" to en-
ployment bureau officials, the big
harvest hand shortage of past years
may be merely a nightmare this
year. However state officers are
frank to admit that no one absolutely
knows at this time just how far the
present supply of harvest hands will
meet the demand next week when the
harvest season really opens.
No Surplus, Ericsson Says.
Denial that there is surplus of labor
in the Kansas harvest fields was made
by H. c. Ericsson, examiner in charge
of the local office of the state free en-
ployment bureau.
The impression that there are al
ready too many men in the harvest
fields, Ericsson said, is created by the
fact that these men arrived too early
There has been no harvesting in the
state except in isolated sections, he

parent surplus labor will be quickly

pleading for more.
influx of volunteers will be of suffi-
cient magnitude to create a surplus
at any time. Neither is a shortage
feared by him. The state and federal
employment bureaus have the bust
ness SO well systematized that they
can instantly call thousands of men
from the east. There are scores OF
factory employees in the east, accord
ing to Ericsson, who are willing to
spend their vacations in the harvest
fields In the event of a shortage,
kilograms will bring the desired num-
Der of men to the state at once.
Within the last three days the local

Kansas. All men are sent from here
to Hutchinson, where they are dis
tributed to the southwestern part OF
the state. None are being sent to
Wichita, which supplies the extreme
south. as it is estimated the num-
Der of men who will follow the har-
vest north from Oklahoma will be
sufficient to handle that section. Mer
will be sent to Salina later.
Only a small fraction of the men
bound from the east to the harvest
fields stop here Ericsson said. Thou
sands go straight thru to Salina
Hutchinson or Wichita.
