By AN OBsERVANT CITIZEN

Well it is all over, except a few
recounts, but the faces Of the
candidates still smile at US from
the telephone poles. 1 think the
defeated candidates should be
compelled to take down all politi-
cal posters; but, on the other
hand, perhaps that is a job for
the successful candidates. They
ought TO be willing to do that
much in return for our votes.
Anyhow, no matter who does it
it will greatly improve the looks
of the town
While we are about it, why not
clean up the papers that blow
around Fremont Street during our
windy months? No one seems 10
know where they come from, but
they are certainly there In guam

I thought it was only the wom-
en- who carried their money in
their stockings, Shat is they did
carry 1t there before skirts got
so high and stockings so thtn,-
but last week I observed a man
stop on Fremont Street, roll down
his sock, take a roll Of bills there
from, thrust it into his trousers

$25O,0OO, 1000 Wheat Crop.

From the wichita Beacon.
A $3.50. 900, 900 wheat crop Is in sight
in Kansas. That Is an estimate based
on the present prices for July delivery
and on a guess of between les 900 ,000
and 100000 bushels, A few months
ago any one with the nerve to forecast
crop OF that magnitude would have
been accused OF being in league With
the bearish gamblers in the pit in trying
to force down the price. Right now 1t
seems conservative. The Santa Fe Rail-
way made a 1855 ,0O0. 0OO- bushel estimate
June |. The Commerce Trust Co. OF
Kansas City made later estimate OF
TIA. 00O, 900 bushels. r. d. Jarboe. Fed
eral grain supervisor, would not be sur
prised to see the 1914 record of $780,
900 900 bushels beaten. And no one
who drives through central, southern
and western Kansas, through mile after
mile of unspotted wheat fields, can fail
to realize that this State is on the verge
OF one of the most astounding harvests
in It's history. Based on existing prices,
the Kansas wheat crop should be worth
from $85 .000,0o to 100000 600 more
thar the 1877 crop.
With this crop In sight the price OF
wheat Is nevertheless higher than 1t was
year ago. The explanation is that
while Kansas wheat will be from 40-
600, 900 to $4,000. 900 bushels above the
flve-year average. Oklahoma wheat
from 100000 to 100000 bushels
above. Nebraska from 100000 to Is
600 900 bushels above, with Texas and
Colorado likewise showing improvement,
conditions TO the east are not so favor
able. Illinois Is we'll below the average.
and 50 is Iowa Missouri likewise will
not have a normal crop. Canada and
the Spring wheat States Of the North
have been injured by droughts.

From the Seattle Daily Times,
The announcement by the Bureau ol
Standards that the T0.inch disk Of OPP
teal glass made for the telescope al
Perkins Observatory at Ohio Wesleyan
University is well-nigh perfect brings
TO mind an American industry born OF
the World War. Before the war the
United States looked 10 Europe for Its
optical glass For years the great center
or experimentation was at the Jena
Works In Germany. Belgium and France
also made excellent optical glass, but
America never mastered the art until
necessity compelled II to make its own
lenses
The block of glass which has been
cooling for the last eight months at the
Bureau of Standards Is destined to be
the mirror In one of the worlds largest
telescopes. II weighs $500 pounds
Tests show that 1t has been so we'll an
nealed that the finishing operations car
be started without apprehension.
Optical glass requires perfect homo.

ilected BY inequalities. In order to pro-
duce a glass that has no internal flaws

to cool In the crucihle,
Now that We have produced SO fine q
specimen OF optical glass In this co,in-

the way of making even larger telescopes

Whatever differences there were be-

over division of authority and respon-

out, They could not well be left to
stand. Senator Moses Is one Of the
most valuable of the Hoover leaders. II
he seemed to hesitate before entering
the fold presided over by DR.. Work, the
hesitation was merely to obtain assur-

Senator Moses will be particularly
effective campaign manager. He COM
bines knowledge of politics with an
intellect rarely found in politicians. His
personality wears a polish that has not
been rubbed away by forty years of
rubbing shoulders with hoi polloi Of
politics. He is peculiarly devoid Of
bunk. yet his frankness does not rankle
nor does il sting with malice. Behind
him the various elements OF Eastern
Republicanism will unite. Presenting
solid front, they will await the APP
