Little Fruit in Arkansas

w. A. Nichols writes from Sloan
Springs: Another year has rolled by
and it finds us in Northwestern Ark
ansas, the best and richest part OF
the state. 1t is called the place OF
a million smiles. The tourists give
it much praise and with the better
roads is it possible to see 1t. Har-
vest time is past. Wheat and oats
were a fair yield. Our fruit was all
frozen during April, also the straw
berries but they put forth more
blooms and there was a very good
crop of berries. The blackberries
are now ripe. They are not SO per-
feet because of it being too wet and
then too dry. Have been having
plenty Of rain lately. The tame nay
crop will be large. We enjoy the
weekly visits Of the Reflector and
wish 1t the best Of success.

MORE HARvEsTERs WANTED
Situation Demands More Workers ~
Wheat Fields

Manhattan, June 2h.-Stories sent
ont recently from Kansas City to the
effect that the harvest band situa'
tion is clearing seem to have little
foundation Of fact. Calls for hands
TODAY run into the thousands. Nine
cities are calling for 5000 men TO-
day and it is estimated that at least
10000 men are needed throughout
the wheat belt. These calls include
Dodge City, 1900; Jetmore, 800
Larned, 500; Liberal, 1000; Meade,
500; Kinsley, 800; Ness City, 3oo;
Lacrosse, 500; Saiina, 500.
Word from Il. l.. RhOades, In
charge Of the harvest labor distribu-
ton office at Hutchinson, says that
the call for hands at the present
time IL urgent. Only in the south
ern mart of the state is there any re-
lief, he says.
Mr.. RhOades reports that harvest
has only started north OF the main
line of the Union Pacific, and that
from Salina on west there Is already
a shortage which Is expected to be
serious when harvest Is In full swing
next week. The points placing the
largest calls today are from SOUTH
west Kansas.
Mr.. RhOades says the news items
stating that the situation Is clearing
are keeping hands from coming into
Kansas and are likely to cause
severe shortage Of men throughout
the north west quarter of the state.
Kansas State Farm Bureau has
been called upon to lend its efforts to
the campaign to get men into those
section OF the state where harvest
is just starting.

PLAN NONSTOP FLIGHT
d. r. Davis Of California Would
Cross Continent

Los Angeles, Calf, June %
Plans to attempt nonstop airplane
flight from the Pacific to the Allan
tic coast in the near future have
been announced by David X. Davis, q
wealthy young California sportsman,
and Eric Springer, veteran pilot OF
Europe and America. The fight, II
successful, not only would prove
epoch meking as the first Of Its kind,
but probably would bring to America
and to an American machine, two
OF the three most coveted aerial rec
ords-marks now held by foreign
flyers.
In completing the coast to coast
flight, a distance by air line Of ap-
proximately $500 miles, the flyers
would break the nonstop distance
record Of 1910 miles, made by Al
cock and Brown In crossing the At
lantic shortly after the war.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
Census Shows Larger Ratio Than In
l0OO.lO in u. S.

Washington, June 27.-There were
1000, 1872 more males than females
in the United States in 1920, max
ing the ratio ia to 100 as compared
to 106 to every 100 females In the
period of 19O0-10 the census bureau
announced last night.
A preponderance Of males has
been shown In every census, due pri-
marily, the announcement said, to
the considerable number Of foreign
born residents among whom the
males greatly outnumber the oppos-
tie sex. Thirteen per cent Of the
country's total population in 1920
were foreign born.

done. Each Of the 361 children

When Miss EDNA Flanagan, public
health nurse for Dickinson county,
returned from the State convention
of public health nurses held at Sa-
lima, this spring, she was full Of en-
thusiasm for her work and thought
the greatest thing she could do was
to put on a Child Health Conference.
She consulted with the physicians,
dentists and her county committee
and having met with encouragement
on every hand, she outlined the work
necessary for Health Conference
and started out to work. Confer
ences were held in nine towns, Abb
lene having two days, which made
ten days In all.
DIR. Sherborn, the chief of the
Child Hygiene division on the State
Board Of Health, was with us the
first day in Abilene; Miss Grove, a
supervisor Of public health nurses in
Kansas, was here for eight confer
ences and with their leadership and
assistance we were far better able to
do our work we'll and demonstrate
the worth of conference.
Each morning from Z to 1880 the
little Red Cross Ford with the three
nurses and their equipment of scales,
measuring boards, exhibits, literature
and suit cases could be seen ram
bling its way to the next conference,
sometimes in sunshine and sometimes
in rain and mud, only to return at
night to get new supply of litera-
ture and an early start for the next
morning.
Cooperation That Helped
The thing that made possible the
conference was the cooperation and
interest ON the part Of the physicians
and dentists Of the county. Some
gave from One-half to two days time
for the examinations, often going to
other towns where there are no ply
sicians or dentists.
Such service as that rendered by
DIR. X. L. Garrett, who made the
schedule with the dentists for all the
conferences, by the physicians and
dentists, who gave so much OF their
time In examinations, and by the
women who worked SO faithfully is
what made the enthusiasm and sue
cess Of the conference.
Pictures which were taken with
the conference in session are espec-
tally good and will be used in films,
nationally and locally. The Divis-
ion office in St. Louis and the Nation
