 Then Leicester manufacturers evolved R machine which made a fine imitation of the puiloyer, and European demand followed which kept the machines going day and night for months.

PARIS
American Visitors Along Riviera Arc Called "Tightwads" s"-Gypsies Ar Asked to Give Tips on Markets.

Paris June individually American yisi,- ors along the Riviera are "tightwads" in com parison with persons Of other nationalities who seek enjoyment and rest In that salubrious re zion. As good spenders the Americans ar4 ranked fourth, coming after the Russian Germans and Egyptians British visitors are placed fifth. Leading hotel and restaurant proprietors along the Riviera are authority for this statement.
 Americans and British are so numerous on the Riviera that their total expenditures amount 10 more than half of all the money left there by foreigners" says a writer who interviewed the puryeyors of food and frolic But 1t is myth that they are the most gen erous of the visitors. Despite the fact that many of the Russians are in poor cirsum- stances, when they appear in public they are the freest spenders of all foreigners. During the past year Germans have occupied many of the most lururious hotel suites in Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo and the hotel proprietors consider them excellent guests"

GOLDEN FIELDS OF WHEAT IN KANSAS
State Is Expected to Yield
 Bumper Crop

Kansas City, June Opl-As far as the eye can see, then added league beyond, fields of green, growing wheat ripple gently ill inc breeze as 1t plays over the great prairies of the Southwest
 A tinge of yellow is becoming no- ticeabie in favored spots in fields here and yon. The golden glow of harvest is impending, Soon it will burst OCT all the land and from break of dawn 10 fading day the song of the harvest will be heard.
 On the Texas plains and in Okla homa the throh of harvest time al- ready is being felt. Then, as the wheat ripens farther north, the crews will push on into Kansas, where wheat will be ready for the mower the last week in June. This premier winter wheat state will be in the throes of harvest at it's full by middle July.
 In these three states about 16,- 0S2,000 acres of wheat will be har- vested, according 10 government crop experts. This exceeds the conl- bined acreage of the other leading winter wheat states. In Kansas alone 10.682,000 acres will be harvested, with 4,506, 000 In Oklahoma and 1,- 744,0 in Texas. The latest official production forecast for this vast territory was 2SI ,G00,00 bushels, nearly half the estimated production of winter wheat for the entire country.
 Kansas Is expected 10 produce 142.000, GOO bushels this year, com- pared with 74,750.0o0 in 1925 and 111,76S,600 bushels, the ioyear average. This prospective yield, how ever, has been exceeded in l9l4' 1919, 1920 and 1924.
 For weeks the railroads have been collecting ears on unused sid ings preparatory to moving the wheat crop from farm to mill and from mill to market. It is estimated that 200,000 cars win be headed In Kansas alone for the crop move ment. Additional thousands will be needed III JtNdS ana CNIoHoll'a'
 The influx of harvest hands, as certain as the harvest is on. Kan sas will need 10000 men from out eide the state labor authorities esu- mate. Very little outside help, If any will be needed in Texas and Okla homa.
 Harvest machinery has been aug mented by much new machinery. Huge combines" that cut and thresh at q single operation, are used on the great grain farms where thousands of acres must be harvested. Pulled by tractors, these huge machines rapidly transfix the rolling wheat fields into vast eX- panses of stuhble land.
