KANSAS CALLING.
10000 LABORERS|
TO WHEAT LANDS
College Students Offered Jobs
During Summer Vacation
Period

KANSAS CITY. June 3.-Kansas
wheat fields are reckoning for har-
vest hands. and with the crop rapidly
ripening, the state will need 80 600
cording to estimates of G. E. Tucker
of the United States department t
labor employment here.
Special bulletins prepared by Tuck =
err have been sent to hundreds of col
leges in states reasonably near to
the wheat harvest areas. giving in
structions and information to COL
lege men who wish to follow the
harvest" throughout the summer
months.
BY "Following the harvest" steady
employment can usually be had from
June Is to August 30.
Farm labor is scarce, and John e.
Crawford, head of the Kansas state
free employment bureaus, has also
issued an appeal to the eastern col
leges for students to come to Kan
sas when their vacation starts to aid
in harvesting the wheat crop.
O o o
Farmers Uneasy.
Prices agreed upon at the meeting
of the farm labor exchange here sew
eral weeks ago. placed the minimum
wage at "a a day, and many labor
authorities declare that 1t will be
necessary for wheat growers to pay
as high as SIS and Sc day before
they will be able to obtain the de-
sired number of hands.
The fact that there is little I'M
employment in any section of the
country. and recent wage increases
by several large industries have
made farmers uneasy about the har-
vest hand situation. Kansas, which
is the key to the harvest labor of
the wheat states, is being watched
for developments.
o o o
Texas Harvest Over.
The wheat, harvest is practically
in Texas, Oklahoma is now
in the midst of her harvest. and
wheat cutting in southern Kansas
will commence within the next few
days.
When the Kansas harvest reaches
its height, which will be about June
20, steady flow of hands will have
to be fed to the state, or the crop
will suffer from becoming over-ripe.
Kansas City is the gateway for
the harvest hand exodus, and esti-
mates by labor heads here place the
number that passed through here
last year at 10000. The smaller
needed this year is due to
about 100000 acres of Kansas
wheat being abandoned.

William Jennings Bryan was

separation from the Southern Pres
byterian assembly several years ago
because of doctrines taught by DR..
Edmonds.
Mr. Bryan's efforts to kill the
Darwinian theory of evolution is
weakling effort to kin the progress
and development of the world" de-
clared DIR. Edmonds in the course of
his sermon.
"Discredited Person"
"Mr. Bryan happens to be the lead
err of a certain party of thinkers at
the present who are rather discred-
tied in the general scheme of the
modern cosmos" DR.. Edmonds said
1T therefore would have been an I'M
fortunate incident had he been
elected as the high official of Pres
byterians of the United States, and
have been allowed to go up and
down the land speaking his own per-
sonal views In the official capacity of
moderator of the Presbyterian church
in the United States"
Regarding Mr.. Bryan's resolution

schools, and all those connected with
the church In AN official capacity to
sign a pledge OF total abstinence from
the use of alcoholic intoxicants, DR..
Edmonds said it was an absurdity.
Would Not Sign Pledge.
II wouldn't sign such a pledge for
everything there Is in the world, nor
would / be forced to sign such a
pledge If all the powers of the world
were arrayed against me-" DR.. Ed
monds shouted. IF all the armies of
the world were sent against me, If
the greatest army the Germans ever
organized were to overcome me, yet
1 would not sign such a pledge"
Continuing, he said his opposition
to the resolution did not indicate any
desire to further the liquor interests
of the country, but came about
through his belief that the resolution
was an invasion of the personal
rights of the free born American cit
izen. and he would always fight for
his personal freedom.
After all, the only thing worth
fighting for in this world is re-
ligion," DR.. Edmonds declared. THAT

England and France, briefly, sur

allies frankly admit that unless they

do not want-or dare-to start the
war that would be needed.
Conference results are:
The allies have surrendered on

Turks, before, arrest of foreigners or
confiscation of their property, to

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The chief
political question of the moment is:
Can Al Smith carry the democratic

modify the Volstead act. so that each
state may say individually what con-
stitutes an intoxicating beverage?
1t is upon this issue that the vets
intend to seek Smiths nomination as
the democratic candidate for Presi-
dent.
At the moment. the majority senti-
ment among democratic leaders APP
pears opposed to Smiths plan. An
aggressive campaign by the vets
during the next IL months may
change that opinion before the nomi-
mating convention meets. But a can
vass of sentiment at present indicates
that If the convention were to meet
tomorrow Smith could not win the
presidential nomination.
Party Must he Dry.
One national democratic leader,
who is in close touch with political
sentiment throughout the country.
said that the party, nationally, must
be dry in 1924. Local candidates in
New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and some other eastern states might
stand as vets. But west of the Allie
ghenys, he said, the party must be
dry.
In the short time since Governor
Smith approved the repeal of the
state enforcement act and stated his
reasons therefor, comment has been
obtained from a number of demo-
cratic leaders in various states Thus
