GREAT OFFENSIVE
FOR WHEAT HARVEST
Thirty-Five thousand Men
Outside Of State Given
Employment
PRAIRIE SCHOONER
COMES BACK AGAIN
Sunfower State Expects to Harvest
115.OOO.OOO Bushels Of
Wheat This Year
BY j. l.. O'SULLIVAN.

SALIVA. Kan, June 13.-Kansas
has modified great offensive on
the eve Of the opening Of the wheat
harvest.
Thirty-five thousand men from out
side Of the state will be given work
for month in taking care of the
crop Of approximately 100000
acres.
Sufficient labor is now in sight to
handle the crop with a minimum Of
delay. Hundreds OF harvest hands
who started with cutting of wheat
crop in Texas and Oklahoma the first
of June are working northward and
will furnish a large proportion Of
men needed to fill demands of farm
ers in this greatest of wheat produce
ing states.
The day Of the prairie schooner
has come back to transport this army
of wheat hands. Due to increased
railroad passenger rates, and to the
fact that roads have not made any
special rates for harvest hands, the
majority are moving overland in COW
cred wagons to the wheat sections.
Most harvest hands begin the sea-
son in the southwest and find en-
ployment throughout the summer by
working northward to- Dakota and
Minnesota and even up into Canada.
Kansas Expects Large Crop.
J. G. Mohler, secretary of the state
board OF agriculture, told me in To-
peka yesterday that Kansas expects
to harvest crop of 115,00O,000
bushels of wheat this year.
Approximately eight per cent Of
the acreage planted will not be har-
vested, Mohler said, because Of the
poor condition of the crop.
Because of the low price Of wheat,
farmers are not going to pay the
large wages Of other years. At a
conference Of wheat producers held
in various sections of the state, IL
was agreed that the pay should be
$3 for ten-hOur day with the usual
board
That is quite contrast from con-
ditions year ago when farm hands
could sit on the curb and have farm
ers bid eight, nine, ten and even
twelve dollars a day for their SER
vices.
The majority of farmers are ex-
pected to market their crop immedi-
ately from the threshing machine.
Mohler estimated about 90 per cent
of the farmers will sell direct from
the thresher.
Great western railroads that pierce
the. wheat belt are better equipped
to handle the crop than any time
since the war.

Circulation of Money Per Capita
Drops Eighty-Eight Cents
During Month of May
A new series of reductions in prices
of all commodities is beginning IN
nearly every section Of the country,
according to James Mccoy, actuary
Of the treasury department.
The nationwide price cutting
wave, which began just about year
ago, has slowed during the last few
months. Now price cutting is to be
resumed on a new and faster scale,
II is Indicated by factors which Nc
Coy. considers important.
One OF these factors is an unusu
ally big drop in the per capita cir
culation of money. In the month
ended June /, the per capita circu-
IatioD fell OF SSc to $55.43 person,
according to an announcement by the
treasury.
''This shows copclusively that
prices are falling" said Mccoy. ut
means that money Is getting harder
to obtain because there is less of 1t
to be had. When you have to work
harder to get money, 1t is worth more
and will buy more. During the. war
money was inflated, plentiful and
easy to obtain-that =. compara-
lively. That Il what made all prices
Doar. Now that we're being debated,
the converse becomes true"

on October Is. In her retirement
from the active fleets Of the United
States Navy this ship will carry with
her memories of the old gunboat
Pittsburgh. one Of the vessels used in
western waters during the civil war
and whose name she has borne with
honor through cruises of peace as
well as in the world war.
The present cruiser Pittsburgh, now
at the navy yard. Philadelphia, was
formerly the Pennsylvania. Her
name was changed in 1912, when the
present battleship, now with the >Pa-
cific fleet. was named for the Key
stone state. AS the Pittsburgh. the
cruiser was assigned to duty on the
Pacific coast i'll 1913, where she was
the flagship of Admiral W. B. Caper-
ton. Remaining on the west coast
until 1917. she was ordered to South
American waters. visiting all of the
principal ports. until March. 1919.
when she, sailed for New York. In
1919 the Pittsburgh became the flagship
of Rear Admiral Harry Mel. P. Huse.
commanding the United States naval
forces in the eastern Mediterranean.
remaining on this duty until late in
1920. and returning to the United
States in 1921. The Pittsburgh was
commanded during 1918 and 1919 by
Capt. c. e. Bradshaw. who was sue
ceeded by Capt d. w. Todd.

'The higher the dollar rises in
Berlin the less chance there is for
he United States and England to
improve their situation in industries
ana cut down the number Of unem-
ployed. While in Germany the high
rate of the dollar forces prices up.
it keeps hundreds Of thousands from
earning a livelihood abroad. The
rate of unemployment here is far
smaller than it is In countries where
the rate Of exchange Is sky-high.
Though the prices Of foreign prod
ucts. half-fnished goods and raw
material are so high that we shall
soon be unable to import anything at
all. the German people are daily
proving very impressively their abil-
ity to survive the present crisis.
Ultimately we may collapse. but in
that case other industrial countries
may also go down."
