cultural Interests of Country.

The billion dollar War Finance cor
poration thru which the federal gov
eminent is extending aid to the agri-
cultural interests of the county is be-
ginning to function efficiently, accord
ing to the report made at the execu-
tive council meeting of the Kansas
Bankers association, which was held
in Kansas City Tuesday.
W. W. Bowman, secretary of the
association, upon his return to Topeka
asserted the meeting was one of the
best and most important ever held by
the council, which is composed of the
officers, past presidents of the state
organization and the head of the group
organizations.
The matter Of pushing the extension
of the. county organization plan was
discussed at length and reports were
made indicating that this new plan is

is pointed out that severance from III
ster of Catholic districts might be bal
anced by acquisition of protestant dis
tricts now assigned to southern Ire
land.
Plans for prolonging the truce In
ireland which both the British gov
eminent and Sim Fein desire, are en-
barrassed by the fact that about five
thousand men and women are in in
terninent on charges of sympathy
with the Sim Fem movement. The
Sim Fem it is agreed could hardly
be asked to accede to continuance OF
the truce If it involved further intern
ment of their supporters AS result
in the event of a continuance the
wholesale liberation of prisoners is
anticipated, only those convicted by
courts martial being held and these
being treated as prisoners or war.
Disorders in Belfast.
Belfast Nov. 3o.-Sir James Craig's
defiant speech on Irish peace was fol-
lowed by an outburst of disorder early
today. A woman was fatally wounded
in a bomb explosion and a workman
was shot and killed in Cromar street.
Sir James Craig told Premier Lloyd
George early in the Irish peace nego-
tiations that If the Ulster parliament
or people even entertained the British
proposals for an all-IreIand parlia-
ment he would resign as premier OF
Ulster.
This was disclosed by Sir James
yesterday in the Ulster parliament in
the course of his report on the status
of the peace movement. An all-Ire-
land parliament which was the basis
Of the British offer was not to be
thought of under present condi-
tions" he said, but the Ulster govern
ment was prepared to discuss other
avenues for settlement.
Sir James reiterated that Ulster
wanted a settlement and said:
VIII Meet Sim Feln.
"If there is any prospect of the Sim
Fein showing sense even at this late
hour, we will renew the offer that
thru the machinery of a council of
ireland, we are prepared to meet
them and discuss those matters so vi
tai to the interest and prosperity of
our provinces. We are also prepared
to enter into competition to see
whether the north or south can pro-
duce the better government"
He declared that the Sim Fein
would find it impossible to gain con-
troll of Ulster and that they could take
the advice OF Premier SHUTS of the
Union of South Africa during his last
visit to England, that by no power
could Ulster be coerced into accept
ance of a subordinate position.
The only way her opponents could
ever hope to secure Ulster, he said,
was by winning her-"by starting out
upon a path such as we in Ulster have
taken the result of which is happiness,
peace and prosperity thruout the
length and breadth of the land, by
showing to all classes and creeds firm
justice and upright government by
throwing aside all the abominable
machinery of crime and outrage and
asking forgiveness for the dastardly
deeds they have done in the past, and
which so recently stained the fair
name OF the city of Belfast"
How can Ulster" he added "be
asked to clasp hands with a people
who, while pretending to come to a
settlement, are flinging their bombs
and shooting from behind the chinf-
ney pots of Belfast? 1t is prepos-
terous."

No fall of moisture occurred in
Kansas this week to break the long
dry spell, according to the reports OF
100 correspondents of the weather
bureau. A few light rains or SHOWS
occurred in some of the eastern coun-
ties and here and there in the central
and western sections, but the resulting
moisture was too small to be of any
benefit. Temperatures as low as 3
degrees to 10 degrees occurred in the
western half of the state the fore part
of the week and there were several
hard freezes in the eastern portion.
Wheat continues its steady deterf-
Grafton as the result of the protracted
drought. Correspondents report 1t as
fair to poor and in some sections very
poor in the important producing coun-
ties of the central and western sec
tions. 1t has Jared better in the east
ern third, where in some counties 1t
is still in good shape ana promising
tho rain and snow are needed every

than 10 to Is per cent of wheat is up
enough to cover the ground even
fairly well when seen from a distance
and a great deal, of it has a brown
or yellowish color. Several of the
fields where the ground Is covered.
In the eastern third approximately IS
per cent of the wheat covers the
ground and still has healthy green

The WASHBURN PLAY
BY HAROLD HENDERSON.

The public last night stamped its
approval upon the annual fall play of
the Washburn Dramatic club, Mar
tha-by-the-Day," at the Grand theater
by many bursts of laughter and much
applause.
The acting Miss Isabel Whitcomh,
in the difficult character role Of an
Irish scrubwoman. was the outstand-
ing feature Of the play The play
was highly enjoyable and successful as
everyone participating in it knew their
parts wsl'.
The role of au old rheumatic grand
mother was played exceptionally well
by Miss Miriam Van Horn. The part
of a young woman who loved but kept
silent was played excellently by Miss
Ruth Marsh.
y The lea ling masculine role, was
taken by George Greenwood, who rep
resented a young man of wealth, of
whom people were fond, and who did
not display any false pride. Gerald
Tasker not only played his part excep-
tionalIy well but served as manager of
the whole affair. The minor roles
were also played we'll. The success
of the play was due to the excellent
coaching of Prof. Z. D. Schonberger.

You may suffer pain in the back, head
