JAYHAWKERS SAY
WHEAT CROP FINE
Deny Large Amount Grain Is
Destroyed.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 25.--Kansas is
still optimistic about it's wheat crop.
Wheat growers of the Jayhawker State
declare they are used to having total
crop failure" at this time Of the year,
but harvest a bumper crop in June and
J1ly.
Grain quotations advanced sharply on
the Chicago Board Of Trade the last few
days due to reports Of a drought in
Kansas and Nebraska.
The wheat crop was still looking good
in the State today, J. c. MohIer, secre-
tary Of the department Of agriculture,
announced, although he said considerable
damage had been done in a few of the
smaller wheat producing counties.
Mohler denied the report circulated on
leading markets that five million acres
of Kansas wheat had gone to pieces. -
Indications today were that showers
would fall over the State within the next
twenty four hours and relieve the situa-
ton, according to the weather bureau
here.

HONOR RULES HERITAGE

KOKOMO, Ind, May 25.-That the
name Of the Goyer family for honor may
be preserved, John r. Goyer left the
inheritance Of his son, Walter Goyer. in
trust for ten years, that his debts might
be paid. Mr.. Goyers family was wiped
out several months ago when the farm
home burned, his children and wife dy-
ing from the effects of that happening,
and Mr.. Goyer himself nearly lost his
life. Mr.. Goyer became involved finan-
cially and was compelled to take the
benefit of the bankrupt law, a proceeding
distasteful to his father, who stipulates
that the Goyer family name must be
maintained.

HAVANA SPEAKS
TO HOOSIERLAND
Gov. McCray, at Local Smoker
Extends Greetings Via
Telephone

Governor Warren T. McCray extended
greetings to Havana last night. The Gov
ernor was at the smoker given by the
Electric Club at the Chamber of Com
merce building, while the recipient of the
greeting was in Havana.
In It's journey the Governors voice
travelled about 1900 miles by wire on
land and about lis miles by submarine
cable.
A number of those at the smoker
talked with c. w Kicker of the Havana
Electric Railway, Light and Power Com
pany and j. T. Andrews of the Cuban
Telephone Company, in Havana.
Among those who talked with Havana,
in addition to Governor McCray, were
Charles f. Coffin, president of the Cham
Der Of Commerce; Charles O'Brien Muir
ply, Wallace o. Lee, w. L. Balch and
Frank Wampler.
Governor McCray talked with Mr.. An
drews, and after extending the greetings
of Indiana, which were suitably acr
knowledged by Mr. Andrews, he touched
upon the matter of the weather in Ha-
vana and asked HON hot it was down
there. Mr.. Andrews said it was quite
pIeasant-about 81 degrees, and In re-
Spouse to a suggestion by the Governor
that we could beat that up here, replied
tina the had been in indianapolis and
knew it was a hot place.
One of the interesting features was
the calling Of the roll" before the
talks with Havana were commenced, dur
ing which men in charge at Chicago
Beaver Dam, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa. Har-
risburg, Pa; New York City, Philadel-
phia, Richmond, Va; Selma, n. c.; Den
mark, S. c.; Jacksonville, Fla; West
Palm Beach, Key West and then Havana
were called, and responded with a clear
ness that was almost a bit startling to
the average layman who had not yet
realized how distance could thus be put
aside.
The talks with Havana were made pos
sible through the courtesy of Frank
Wampier, vice president and general man
ager Of the Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany, who had arranged for special
long distance wire and 800 sets of re-
ceivers so that all the guests at the
smoker could hear all the conversations
that passed between the speakers and Ha-
vana. Wilbur Roadhouse of the trans
mission engineering department Of the
A. T. & T. Co.. at Chicago. was engineer
in charge Of the demonstration.
Congratulations on the demonstration
were made to Mr. Wampler by Governor
McCray, Mr.. Coffin and othersr aud Mr
Wampler introduced Mr.. Roadhouse as
the man who was really responsible for
the demonstration.

WASHINGTON, May 25-President
Harding returns here from New York to-
day confident that his program Of prun-
ing the Government pay roll is backed
by popular approval
His declaration in New York that ruth
less economy must be enforced regard
less Of the chances Of offending some
politicians brought such instantaneous
chorus OF approval that he Is expected to
lose little time in applying the knife to
Washington red tape.
Harding's Cabinet is behind him to a
man in this measure which has been the
subject OF discussion at several Cabinet
meetings.
The first result Of the favorable re-
action to his economy promises is ex-
pected to be a speeding-up Of the reor-
