COMBINES HARVEST
 WHEAT IN KANSAS
Taking Places of S5,0o0
 Workers

Kansas City. Mo, May s.-CUP) -Combines-squat, whirring ma chimes that creep slowly across the limitless ares of waving wheat-will this summer do the work of 25,000 harvest hands, hitherto imported each year from the east and north.
 Therefore this season fewer col lege boys will earn money to pay for next years schooling by shock ing grain behind clanking binders or pitching grain from the header into mammoth threshers and fewer thousands of men will converge in Kansas, in June, to spread over the country like locusts to live off the harvest.
 By harvest time this year there will be in Kansas alone more than 12,000 com mbines, which will be able to harvest 6,o00,00o acres of wheat without the help of harvest hands. Already popular with owners of large wheat acreages. they are now being purchased by owners of smaller tracts.
 Even in Missouri, where the bind CT has heretofore sufflced, small combines with 9-foot cuts are being distributed in large numbers

 One of the authorities who have advanced this conclusion is Prof. Elliot Smith. distinguished anato- mist and anthropologist. His views are emphasized by Dr. James Fred erick Rogers. chief of the Division of School Hygiene of the Federal Bureau Of Education.

ESKIMO HAVE DARWINIAN
 THEORY OF EVOLUTION

Dr. Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer who recently completed a 10000 mile dog sled trip through the Arctic zone, believes the Eskimo has evolved something akin to the Darwinian philosophy of his own, based on the theory that there was a time when ami mals were converted into men and when there was only one tribe of men but numerous anil mals, according to Washing ton report.
 Eskimo folklore, Dr. Rasmus- sen said recently before the National Geographic Society, also assumes that there was a period in the earliest dawn or Arctic evolution when all hu- man beings were males. To the Eskimo mind it suggested a peaceful but monotonous and humdrum existence and it ter minated when Mrs. Eskimo was evolved from the rib of one of the early lords of Arctic creation.

 A slight decrease is noted in the number of fur-bearing animals taken last year which, no doubt, is due somewhat to the shortening of the trapping season. On the other hand the pelt value is equal to or slight ly greater than in former years.

been written to her by Paul Kelly,

legged murder of her husband, Ray

The letters are of q sensational

most powerful evidence to prove
Kelly's attack was premeditated,
Murray said. The State will attempt
to introduce the missives into court

Defense counsel tried vainly to
