LEGION MAKES A PROTEST
Karl Hansen's Case Arouses Indigna-
ton Among Service Men


The American Legion has sent to
Congressman Strong and Senators
Curtis and Capper protests on the
treatment they learn has been ac-
corded Karl Hansen, an Abilene SER
vice man severely wounded and who
Is now In a government hospital at
Chicago. X. +. Lucier, captain OF
Co. II, has taken an active interest
and has had the backing OF the other
service men. Peter Hansen, the faith
er, has Just returned from Chicago
where he went to see his boy and he
brings a report that is far from cred
liable to the government In the treat
ment 1t gives its disabled soldiers.
Karl, who was totally disabled by a
machine gun bullet, has been In hf-
teen hospitals and his father says
that the. care he received Is OF a
mediocre quality. The Military Sis
terhOod has been giving his case at
tention and Mrs. c. !. MaNin sends
here letter from one Of the visitors
who says: "The men nurses dress
him every morning so he can walk
about on crutches. He gets two treat
ments every morning and wants to
,, stay ut Drexel hospital until his al
lOtment Is settled. He told me
the doctors want to send him to the
Danville soldiers home. This seems
to worry him very much as there Is
no one to look after him there
Karl has $4,000 insurance which
has been due for two years; 1t Is
! entitled to $120 month and his
father Is entitled to parents allot-
ment which was stopped for some
mysterious reason when his mother
died. Two years have passed and
nothing has been done to help him
In his financial assistance as prom
ised by the government. He gets
SO month and that is all. His
father wants to.bring him home
where he can have good care and
can do that II the boy can get the
money to which he Is entitled. The
delay in his case seems to be typical
of the treatment given thousands OF
brave boys who sacrificed for their
country. Mrs. Martin has appealed
to Gov. Allen to assist III getting the
boys rights and with the home pres
sure maybe something will be done.
The service men here who are
familiar with this pathetic case are
indignant ut the situation and do not
hesitate so to express themselves.

WANTS TARIFF FOR HIDES
Declares Hides Were Not Included
Under Emergency Act

Declares Hides Were NOV ihes"oeN
Under Emergency Act
Kansas stockmen are urged to ap-
peal to their representatives In con-
gress to see that hides find a place on
the general tariff list by J. H. Mercer,
secretary of the Kansas Live Stock
association. He declares that hides
were left of the list OF products
which would be protected by the
newly established duty on imports
the emergency tariff act.
"The emergency tariff law is now
In effect. But in 1t are certain out
standing sins of omission" says Sec
rotary Mercer in notice to STOCK
men. "For instance, hides do not
appear on the. schedule. And hides
are not bringing enough to pay
freight charges. 1t Is reported that
to date the House Ways and Means
committee has not seen fit to include
hides in the general tariff bill which
is being framed, though 1t Is highly
essential that they be put on II live
stock prices are to improve. A rea-
sonable price for hide not only
means d better price for a steer OF
COW but little lower wholesale price
for meat. The initial price OF hide
has little to do with shoe prices"

HOW THEY GET TO HARVEST
Eastern College Boy Tells Of Ills
Long Trip

The eastern college boys who
thought II would be lark to beat
their way to Kansas for harvest
found different. A Manhattan man
interviewed one Of them and said:
A'For some time we have been try
ing to get information on the drift
of harvest hands to the Kansas wheat
belt.
"Today, ID. A. DeFrancis. a high
school student Of Cambridge, Ohio
came into the office. asked him TO
give me in detail his experience In
getting to Manhattan.
"He told me he started from CAM
bridge, Ohio, June 20. He Travelled
by picking up motor car rides to
Paris, Illinois. At Paris he hoped
a Big-4 freight and rode to HIS
boro, ILL.,, where trainmen put him
of the freight. He found that 1t was
impossible to ride a freight out OF
Hillsboro and began again to travel
by motor car. He went from Hills
,boro by automobile to st. Louis, Mo.
He had Travelled continuously with
the exception Of time spent In sleep
and one day lost in Hillsboro, Ill.
"He stayed in st. Louis overnight
and climbed freight which he rode
into Kansas City. When he got to
Kansas City he found railroad detec-
tiyes would not let him ride a freight
out of Kansas City, so he bought a
ticket to Bonner Crossing. The ticket
cost 81 cents. He got to Bonner
Crossing at 2 o'clock in the morning
and soon was on freight which land
ed him in Topeka at 1880 o'clock the
same morning. 1t had taken him ex-
actly week to get to Topeka, arriv-
ing in Manhattan Tuesday morning
"He said that there was not day
during the trip that he did not run
into rain. He thinks he could have
made the trip in less time had he
found good weather.
"This shows that Kansas can ex-
pect harvest hands from as far away
as Pennsylvania and hands can ex-
pect to reach the wheat belt In from
a week to ten days.
"This man was Of little higher
Intelligence than the ordinary harvest
hand. He knew enough to keep
clean and wear fairly good clothes
while trying TO catch motor car rides.
He said a man could not get ride In
a motor car II he looked like a
tramp"

Getting Little Rest

If Otis Skinner comes back home all

blame. The American actor will play

In May, he sailed for Spain to visit the
novelist and get some pointers first

ought to act, Tor that IL the role he
will play.
Evidently Ibanez gave the actor a
regular old homo week reception. for
Mr.. Skinner writes that he hasn't had
a chance to do any resting since he's
been there. When Ibanez was through
showing him all the sights of Madrid
Skinner says they were quite a few
the United States Ambassador, Joseph
e. Willard, took him in tow.
OF course Mr.. Skinner saw bull
fight. But he says he hasn't had tho
courage to tackle the theatres. It's so
hot that they don't begin the perform
ances until ten o'clock and only the
very lightest sort Of plays are on view.
No one over there. Mr.. Skinner says.
thinks Of eating dinner until nine and
some times they begin even later.
Besides Madrid he has visited San
Sebastian. Seville and Granada and
they are all hot but worth seeing. He
has picked up lot of costumes and
properties of various kinds--all the real
thing-that will be used In the produc-
ton Of the new play, with which Charles
Frohman. Inc. announce to open the
