WIG TOO SMALL FOR FRANKLIN
Representative From the New Amer
 ica Had to Appear. Before French, :. King in Bald Pate.

Benjamin Franklin was about to be presented to the French king on the occasion of his first visit to France in the capacity-@.of representative from the new America. The court custom of the time denIanded that one going to an audience with the king must wear a wig of the proper fashion. A count, who had Franklin in tow, sent a wigmaker the day before to take Franklin's measure and fit him out for the audience. The wigmaker ar rived at Franklin's lodgings, measured the poll of the great American fore and aft and around and about and took his departure. An hour before the audience the wigmaker returned with the wig. But when Franklin at tempted to put 1t on it would not fit; he couldn't begin to get it on his head. "Sir,' said Franklin to the wigmaker, your wig is unfortunately too small for my head"
 "Pardonnez mol. monsieur" replied the wigmaker, your head Is vastly too large and quite beyond the fashion of the court"
 Franklin appeared, therefore, at court with his bald pate and shaggy gray hair--Detroit Free Press.

 "The presence of this derelict in the steamer lanes to North Pacific ports is a distinct menace to naviga- tion, and it is probable that revenue cutter will be dispatched today to search for the dereIict and either tow her into port or destroy her.
 'Gentlemen O. the syndicate, them's the only two items in the shippin' page that looks likely. The question is, in which lies our fortune?"

HARVEST HANDS
unable TO PAY
RAILROAD Fares
Refusal of Railroads to Per-
nit Them to Ride Rods
Works Hardship on
The Farmers.

OKLAHOMA CITY.-Men are wanted
for work in thresh.ng Oklahoma's
wheat crop, but they are unable to
reach the farms because of the attl.
tude Of some railroads in refusing TO
allow them 10 ride on freight trains,
Claude Connally, state labor commits
sioner, states. The men themselves
have no money to purchase transporta-
ton. The labor department today re.
ceived a call for 40 men in the vicinity
OF Blackwell, which is near the prin-
cipal wheat section. but the order could
not be filled because there was no way
TO get the men there, Mr.. Connally
~.
IN previous years, the railroads were
~y liberal in the matter Of allowing
harvest hands to ride trains where
there was work for them in the harry
est fields. Not all the, roads are re-
fusing this privilege, Mr.. Connally said.
but one trunk line which reaches right
into the heart of the wheat section, is
refusing to let the men ride. Even If
branch lines were willing to carry the
men TO the fields this would help very
little If the men could not get to the
general concentration point.
