On both the Mayfield and Lone Oak
fields acid phosphate and rock phos-
phate when used with limestone have
produced large increases in yields,
especially on the Maysflied field where
the yield has been increased one-htird,
that of soybean hay and wheat
doubled and that of clover hay more
than trebled. oBth these fields repre-
sent the predominating upland soils
of the Purchase.
On the Fariston field, which repre-

crops are considered, have consider
ably more than doubled the yields.
Either of these phosphates has re-
turned practically $500 for every dol

which represents the soils of the west
ern coal field, limestone and acid
phosphate have produced more than
so per cent increase in the corn yield
and more than doubled the yield of
Soybean hay, wheat and clover.
Results equally as striking have
been obtained on the Russellville ex-

600 square miles of soil derived from
st. Louis limestone and on the Berea

which has just come off the press at

Mrs. John Montgomery is, would say
strong candidate for the champion
baseball fan Of the country. Mrs. Mont
gomerys husband has been drilling
her in the game for a season or more
but even he didn't realize how firmly
gounded her enthusiasm was until the
other day. The other day they were
watching New York win the first game
Of a double-headed with the Cleveland
team, when plop! The ball sped into
the grandstand and hit Mrs. Montgom-
cry right over the heart. They called
a doctor and we're ready to carry the
unconscious woman home, when her
eye opened. "Here. what are you do

tor, land we were going to take you
home" Indeed, you won't" the fair
fan declared. I'm going to stay right
here and watch the rest of this game
and all OF the next" And stay she did.
She was in bed the next day with some
smashed ribs, but she says she can be
out again before many more games
have passed into history.

is apt to accompany an air of unre-
straint Corsets come off, galoshes go
unfastened, and, yes, lower lips hang!
II you don't believe it Just observe the
uncorseted young girl in the shops and
the restaurants and the theaters.
Mouth-breathers! For the corset is
to woman exastly what a uniform is
to man. 1t makes for an erect car
riage. 1t tells its wearer that she
looks we'll. Whatever she has on stays
put! and instinctively she fells self
respect. Then there's the matter of
health in addition to that of posture.
And even In these days when it's (for-
tunately) fashionable to have a big
waist and wear the corset loose, there
is yet support You know that when
you see the uncorseted flapper flop
ping. But the best argument of all is
one Of Multiplication. Men have
their open coats and their butoned-
down-the-front vests, and they suffer
from digestive troubles far more than
do women. A sudden change Of tenn

The costoms officials at Ellis Island
have a new duty imposed upon them.
A large group of Italians sought to
avoid the immigration limitations by
coming in as actors. The officials were
doubtful. They didn't just look like
the official idea of Thespians; so they
suggested the aliens giving some
samples. The samples were not en-
tirely satisfactory to these sharp crit
les; and the factors" were ordered
back to the steamship. AT that, the
versatils foreigners explained that
they had meant to say singers. Very
well; some samples of song, then.
Their singing was even less convinc-
ing than their darmatics; but the Ital-
ians clamored that you don't have to
be en- actor to act nor a singer to sing.
An impasse seemed to be reached and
they were held for another practice
exhibition. If they begin applying
those tests to Manhattan activities
along the lines of song and drama, it's
going to be difficult sailing for some
of our artists!

YANKS SQUANDER IN TIPS

London, Sept. 29.-These late
September days are witnessing the
departure from London Of large
numbers of American travellers for
their homes across the water. From
all over the continent they have
come, and the boat trains for Liver
pbol and Southampton bear them
away on the last lap of their sum-
mer's ,journeyings.
Observant LOndoners see in them
much that is different from other
tourists, and notable among the ex-
ceptions is the tendency to give big
tips. 1t Is almost always Americans
who give such extravagant tips, and
some English folk who are not given
to squandering money in this way,
d not like them any the better for
doing it.

MAsT AMsRIcA HELP2

A somewhat gloomy view OF Euro
pean affairs IL being taken by many
economists. DIR. II. A. Chandler, oi
the National Bank OF Commerce
New York, thinks the only adequate
source OF help Is the United States
lie says Europe IL I'm deadlock
This dead lock is two-fold In nature
On the one hand, series OF econom
ic conditions and inter- governmental
financial obligations arising out OF
the war have forced governments
into financial practices which react
upon business conditions with suffi-
cient force to prevent the restoration
of the productive power of some OF
the principal nations Of Europe. On
the other hand, there Is IL deadlock
In international. opinion which In
many ways Is the more difficult to
solve. The latter arises chiefly from
the inability Of the nations to un-
derstand the insurmountable dificul-
ties In each others problems.
He says: "The fact is that there
exists in France as In Germany a
very complicated and difficult con.
dition of affairs. Just as II appears
impossible for Germany to get upon
her feet with0pt a respite. 80 1t ap-
pears impossible for France, without
reparations or financial help from
other countries, to meet the Obliga-
tions that face her. And even If
Great Britain could afford to, and
were willing to, cancel the entire
French debt to her without relief
from her debts to the United States,
France could not entirely forego re-
paration payments for any consider.
able time without other substantial
financial help from the outside.
Before any great advance In the
final solution Of the great economic
and financial problems Of Europe
can be made, France, Germany and
other European nations must be
brought more fully to appreciate
each others difficulties. TO render
most effective assistance In this
work, however, America must first
obtain what for the most part she
does not now possess, namcly, q
somewhat adequate appreciation OF
the very great difficulties confront
ing each European government. once
n sufficient number of Americans
have given sympathetic and some
what thorough study to the condi-
tions in each country America Will
quickly recognize how inadequate
has been the often repeated advice
TO Europe to "tax more, cut expen-
Ilitures and balance budgets Amer
lea will then realize that the present
European dilemma has resulted not
from the failure of Europe to make
nm extaradOrinary effort to do many
Of the things that she has been ad-
vised to do, but from n combination
Of difficulties, economic, financial,
political and social. that have been
utterly beyond her power to work
out by herself alone"

Topeka, Sept. 3O.-Alleged activ-
tiles Of the Ku Klux Khan in Arkan;. !.
fsas City and other southeastern
Kansas towns are being Investigated
by james A. McDermott,T Of the
Kansas Industrial court. The tnves-
tigation Is being made under instruc-
t,ons from Governor Allen, the gov.
ernor said yesterday.
1t was reported to the governors
office that placards had been post
ed in Arkansas City ordering certain
classes of citizens to leave town or
they would be tarred and feathered.
The governor says that threats OF
tarring and feathering as a means
OF enforcing demands are not going
to be allowed to terrOriZe Kansas
communities. The cards carried the
signature, or what purported to be
the signature, of the Ku Klux Klan.
The McDermott investigation may
not result in much, and it may re-
solve irto a state wide fight against
the rule Of the "Invisible Empire" in
Kansas. Ku Khuxers claim large
membership in southeastern Kansas,
and in sections of other parts of the
state. Dean r. l.. HoltOn, president
of the Rotary club of Manhattan, re-
ce;ved letter recently warning him
that If the Rotarians did not cease
their opposition to the peculiar law
