those who followed the wheat har-
vest in Texas, oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska and other states. were
raid wages higher than hal ever
before heen paid for similar serv-
ice Seventy cents an hour was the
minimum and II was a very indif-
ferent laborer indeed who could
not make as much as $1,000 a day,
hut now all this is changed lt is
reported that wages in Texas range
from $2.25 to $3.50 per day with
board while in Kansas as much as
$500 per day with board and lodg-
ing is paid This is about the rate
paid by Nebraska and the Dakotas.
The same tendency toward heavy
reductions in wages is reported b
the employment services throughout
The country. The harvest fields do
not offer light work and the sun
is often exceedingly hot; therefore
boys and men who are unused to
hard work in the open are handi-
capped in securing work in compe-
tition with able-bodied, experienced
men. Cutting will commence in
Oklahoma soon and the harvest will
move North gradually.

FL DORADO PRODUCED
859,258 BARRELS IN MAY

El Dorado June 18-Over 500, 900
Dorado during the month of May,
from the 1st to the 30th, inclusive.
The latest reports from the differ

ben leading oil from tracks on the
different railroads in FL Dorado
show that during this month 26Ae
cars OF El Dorado crude oil were
to refiners in Oklahoma,
Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and
Chicago, Ill.
The average tank car when load
ed contains 22l barrels of oil; 2.692
cars at an average of 221 barrels
makes total of 572.832 barrels.
The prices paid for this oil by
the different purchasers range from
G5 cents to S5 cents per barrel An
average price on the oil shipped
from FL Dorado is in the neighbor-
hood of rs cents.
Estimating the value of the oil
shipped from El Dorado during the
month of May at rs cents per bar
rel would make the total value Of
shipments $429,624 During the
month of May it has been sstimat-
ed that between 35 and so per cent
of he crude oil produced in the field
has been held in storage in the
field. Making an estimate OF one
third of the crude oil produced dur

REFUND or LOANS
TO ALLIES PLANNED

Washington, June President
Harding and his cabinet decided
yesterday to launch their plan foi
the refunding of the nations $40,
900 100000 war loans to the allies
into definite obligations and for thr
sale of such securities to the Ameri-
can people.
The first step by the adminstra-
lion will be to ask congress for spe-
cifie authority to carry out this
plan when it is worked out in de
tail by the treasury
This is one phase of vast and
project for the financ-
ing of World war debts; eompris-
ing not only the 100000, 900
loans of the allies and associated
nations to each other, but the $33,-
600 700 German reparations.
Proposals of the French and Brit
ish governments a mutual cancel
lation- of war debts among the al
lies have been rejected by the Unit
ed States and are considered def-
nitely shelyed.
If the Harding plan for the re-
of foreign loans and their
absorption by the people will work
out it is believed that a similar
course Will be adopted by the allies
in dealing with their debts to each
other.
The American government loans
to the allies are:
To Great Britain, $4.2I0, 600 900.
To France, $4,000, 1000.
To Italy, $l,G25, 900 900.
TO Belgium, S400 900 600.
To Russia. 100000 900.
To Jugo-Slavia, 500, ,000, 900.
To other allies, $175, 900, 900.
Total, 80 ,150, 900 900.
Nearly 81 900 900 600 more now
is due from the allies In the in
ierest on these loans which hasn I
been paid for two years and will

More than twenty landing
grounds, or air garages, are now

journeys by aircraft, and ma
chine may be hired to carry pilot
and two passengers for $35 an hour.
AS the particular sort of airplane
that is used for this purpose moves
at an average rate of ninety miles
an hour, it means that ''super-taxi"
transport through the air costs
about twenty-four cents a mile.
improved Arrears are nearing
completion for hire. They will car
ry four passengers instead of two
for the same expenditure of power
and at the same rate of hiring. This
will mean that individually, if a
party of four hire a machine for a

expect to pick them up in a short
time, and also hope to locate the

goes into every angle OF the big

agreed to let him boss the job and
he directed il from the stolen car
