PLEADS FOR ART
America Is Getting Too Stale,
Miss Monroe Declares.
"POetry" Editor DecrieS the Ell
feet of Present Movie Shows.

Chicago, July 2O.-The movies are
setting the artistic standard for the
next generation-a standard which is
too low, which suppresses and which
does not give a spiritual uplift'-ac-
cCrding to Miss Harriet Monroe, edi-
tor of Poetry and champion of what
she admits is a somewhat revolution
airy art.
America, in fact, is in danger of
drying up spiritually condition
having no relation whatever to pro-
hibition, Miss Monroe says. America S
art is too cut and dried; there is no
room for individual expression; 1t is
ali tailor-made, like a suit of clothes,
she believes.
THE country is becoming too much
ST rdardized in everything" said Miss
Monroe. What we need is room for
the cres tive genius of people to get
to work. Everything is made to order
for tEern now.
''Of course, people in large cities
have an opportunity to see a svariety
of art but those in the small towns
why, they are left utterly without any
thing except the movies. And the
movies are all made after the same
pattern: they c'.nform to a certain
formula and they are not contributing
what they should to build up appre-
citation and love for art"
Every small town, Miss Monroe
added, should have its own miniature
ert gallery, an experin entail theater
where budding dramatists can try out
their ideas in play-writing and where
aspiring amateurs can develop their
TT espien talents. With other branches
OF art gradually added, Chicago's
poetry champion believes that rural.
as well as metropolitan centers. can
produce acceptable contributions to
the world of art and letters.

BY A. L. sHULTz.

The Anti-Saloon league with its non
partisan attitude is likely to have an
early inspection in Kansas by con-
tributors who are developing desires
to see Just where their money goes.
1t seems tina: the Kansas branch OF
the league has suddenly opened its
treasury to aid Attorney General
Richard ]. Hopkins in his fight for a
place on the supreme bench. The fact
that the fight is being made on Justice
Siias Porter. who has written some of
the most far reaching opinions up
holding the ,prohibitory law has added
interest in the cause
According To "a statement. credited
to Fred L. Crabbe, superintendent Oh

received something more than SSU'-

Now it seems. according to complaints,
that politics has become one of the
side issues which adds to the expense
of the organization in this state
In the last few weeks there have
been many rumors in church and tenn
perance circles in Kansas one rumor
is to the effect that the league has on
several occasions paid expenses OF the

Walton Owens Wilson Race
Hottest in States History.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 90
With Nonpartisan league issue
drawing especial attention to the con-
test for the Democratic nomination
for governor, voters of Oklahoma are
preparing to register their preference
for all state offices August 1 in a
statewide primary. A larger number
of candidates are in the field than
ever before in the history of the state.
The Nonpartisan issue arises from
charges made against ]. c. Walton.
mayor of Oklahoma City and a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination,
who has been endorsed by the
Farmer-Labor Reconstruction league,
organization formed at a joint con-
vention oS~fhe Oklahoma State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and two groups of
farmers. Walton's opponents assert
that the Reconstruction league is the
Nonpartisan league under a new
rame, and that Walton is attempting
to use the prestige of the Democratic
party to sweep the reconstructionists
into power. The issue has caused the
campaign to take on unusual impor-
lance.
Walton is opposed by Thomas H.
Owen. former justice of the state ,su-
preme court, and r. H. Wilson, state
superintendent of public instruction.
All are making vigorous campaigns.
The platform adopted by the Re
construction league and upon which
Walton agreed to run included the
following planks: Endorsement of
the Plumb plan for control of the
railroads. approval of public owner
ship of various utilities and the print
ing of all school text books by the
state, opposition to a reduction in the
wages of railroad employees con-
domination of compulsory military
training and demand that war prof
Ulcers be compelled to pay the nations
military debt.
Wilson and Owen have advanced no
outstanding principle in their plat
forms. Each, however, has recon-
mended changes in the state banking
system designed to strengthen the
guaranty feature and safeguard mem

CORN IN RAPID GROWTH
Rains OF From One TO Three
Inches General Over Most OF
Kansas Last Week Wheat
Harvest Almost Completed.
By B. R. Laskowski. Meteorologist.

Rains of from one to three inches
occurred in all but the northwest
counties, which had light showers
during the past week, according to
the reports of the weather bureau cor
respondents which cover every coun-
ty in the state. The temperature
averaged about normal. Several places
in the northwest quadrant reported
Temperatures of from 100 to los de-
grees on Saturday The sunshine
averaged about 65 per cent of the
total amount possible.
Corn continued its rapid growth
and was considered in good to excel
lent condition. 1t was in the tassel-
ling stage practically turnout the
state, except in a few western coun-
ties where it is expected to be tassel-
ling within the next ten days at the
latest. 1t was in the roasting ear
stage in good number of southern
and southeastern counties.
The harvesting of wheat is about
over with. Threshing was still being
delayed in the eastern half due to wet
weather. AS a result only about 10
per cent of the wheat in the state has
been threshed to date. Several coun-
ties in the eastern half reported that
some of the wheat in shock has
sprouted, especially where it was put
up in loose form.
The second crop OF alfalfa has been
secured and conditions are good for

ghums and tree fruits we'll as pas
lures keep on improving due to the
continued warm moist weather.
Hail did some damage to growing
crops in Greeley and Hamilton coun-
ties The high temperatures reported
in the north west part of the state the
last of the week dried out the ground
considerably and altho the crops are
in good shape still, a good soaking
rain would do wonders in improving
conditions there. Several counties in
the lower southeast part reported
some damage due to floods, especially
in the 1owlapds.
Scattered reports of the first fall
blowing under favorable conditions
were received.

WANT LARGER TNINE PLANT
May Be Enlarged to Capacity of
5000, 900 Pounds Per Year.


Enlargement of the state bindery
Irvine plant at the state penitentiary
will be urged before the 1923 state
legislature. State Business Manager
James Kimball recommends that the
plant be increased to produce three
times its present output, or 100000
pounds of Irvine a year instead of
100000.
The binding plant has increased its
revolving fund. originally $4,000
when the legislature established it in
1901, until the fund now is $517.472.
This is much more than is needed in
the revolving fund, and Business Man
ager Kimban believes it should be
utilized by putting in the required ma
chinery to increase the output.
The binding Irvine plant still turns
out only a comparatively small portion
of the states annual consumption of
this harvest essential. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 pounds of Irvine are
used annually in the wheat and small
grain harvest of Kansas. Business
Manager KimbaH states that the peni-
Tertiary output represents a saving of
rs per cent to the farmers on the
100000 pounds produced.

1000 fish. reptiles and insects, all of
which will be placed on exhibition in

My research work was done about

that it is impossible to enter them
until way is cut by Indians.
The only inhabitants are a few
scattered tribes of Indians, apparently
of Spanish and Miskito Indian de-

The Sumo men are very skillful
hunters, but the tribe is rapidly be-
coming extinct. With all their ability

sometimes walk into their villages and
take anything they want without
meeting resistance.
The Sumos. numbering about 500
souls all told, have the slant, almond
eyes of the Chinese and their skin is
about the same color as that of a

Mr. Huber had with him a number
of dogs, two of which were killed by
jaguars. The scientist believes that
fully 40 per cent of the birds and ami
ma1s he shot were lost because neither

way into the 1ungles to the point
where they fell. He used dynamite to
