An army of more than 200,000 men will be required to harvest the giant wheat crop in Kansas this year, ac- cording to A.L. Barkman, director of harvest work, United States Employ- ment Service. Sixty thousand of this number must come from outside the State. In making the estimate he referred to the report of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, issued last month, which said that “with a general average condition of 99.32 per cent. on an es- timated total of 10,759,000 acres of growing winter wheat, Kansas never had a more flattering prospect for a record-smashing crop.” The harvest labor problem in Kan- sas is more difficult than in any other State and 47,000 posters have been distributed among government build- ings throughout the nation. While 500 letters a day are received there from prospective workers, Barkman said many who write will not come, and that most careful distribution will be necessary to prevent 2 labo shortage. Wheat cutting usually starts in the south central counties of Kansas about June 15 to 20, reaching the cen- tral part of the State ten days later. The demand for men increases as the harvest district broadens. “Men should, if possible, provide themselves with sufficient funds to tide them over for a few days, in case of rains or unavoidable delays in se- curing work,” said Barkman. “The harvest fields do not offer light work and the sun is often exceedingly hot. Therefor, boys and men who are un- used to heavy work are handicapped in securing employment in competi- tion with able-bodied, experienced men.” Missouri can care for its big wheat crop with local labor, Barkman said. Nebraska and States north will be supplied with harvest labor by the drift of men from Kansas, if that State, the center of the wheat belt, “as a sufficient supply.—Reformatory Record. Information as to New Bounty Law. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State Game Commission, says: House Bill, No. 419, giving this of- fice the authority to issue checks di- cect to claimants for bounty has been sicned by the Governor and after June 1st, 1919, will be the law in this State. Under the provisions of this Act a bounty of $8.00 will be paid for wild cats, $1.00 for a mink and-$2.00 each for foxes and weasels. The skins of all animals for the killing of which a bounty is claimed must be sent to the Game Commis- sioner’s office by the claimant, just as they are now sent when the affidavit is made before a Justice of the Peace. The skin must not be mutilated and the affidavit must clearly state when as well as where the animal in ques- tion was killed if the claimant hoves to profit by the increased bounty on Helen Burket, assisted by | wild cats and weasels as provided for in this bill. Special deputy game pro- tectors. are authorized by this Act to take affidavits of this character and are entitled to the same fee that a justice could claim for like services, but must supply himself with a prop- er identifying seal at his own expense. A paid game protector is not entitled to such fee. All individuals in the State authorized to administer oaths can take such affidavit. Any effort to secure the increased bounty on either a wild cat or a wea- sel as provided for by this Act through the peresentation of the skin of an animal killed before June 1st, 1919, is punishable by a fine and im- prisonment, and a false affidavit in this regard is perjury. Wash the Streets! To dry-clean a dirty street with scrapers and brooms is no more sat- isfactory than to rub the body with a dry cloth as a substitute for a bath. Washing is the true method of rid- ding a surface of undesirable matter, whether that surface is the skin of one’s face or the pavement of a thor- oughfare. An editoral writer in En- gineering and Contracting, notifies the managers of water-works plants that though they do not ordinarily have charge of street cleaning, it lies within their power to assist, both di- rectly and indirectly, in securing cleaner streets. He goes on! “And by ‘cleaner streets’ we do not mean streets free only of visible dirt, but streets free of the invisible mi- crobes that ride upon the finest grains of dust. Water, the great cleanser, should be applied daily in large quan- tities to all business streets, and at frequent intervals to all paved resi- dence streets. The germ-laden dust should be flushed into the sewers be- fore it can spread pneumonia, tuber- | culosis, grippe, or influenza, and oth- er diseases of the nose, throat, and lungs. “Tt devolves upon every conscien- tious man who knows the efficacy of water as a sanitary agent to do his best to arouse the public and its rep- resentatives to the desirability of flushing all paved streets periodically. The superintendent of every water- works is particularly one who should never rest until his city’s streets are as clean as a hospital floor. While it is his duty to prevent the waste of water by meterage and otherwise, it is also his duty to encourage the con- sumption of more water for sanitary purposes and for garden irrigation. A low per capita consumption of wa- ter should not be his ultimate goal, but rather as high a per capita con- sumption as may be attained after eliminating waste.”—Literary Digest. ——--Subsecrihe for the “Watchman.” Never Again. Afraid to breathe, almost, the re- surned reveler crept quietly into his bedechamber as the gray dawn was breaking. Sitting on the edge of the bed he cautiously undid his boots. But with all his care his wife stirred in bed and he presently was all too well aware of a pair of sleepy eyes regarding him over the edge of the sheet. “Why Tom,” yawned the little woman, “how early you are this morning!” C “Yes, my dear,” replied Tom. sti- fling a groan, “I’ve got to go to Mon- treal for the firm today.” And replacing his footgear, the wretched man dragged his aching limbs out again into the cold and »artless streets.

What is perhaps the most wonder- ful exhibition of old French silks in the world is to be seen in the library ot the International Buyers’ club at 130 West Forty-second street, New York, says Scientific American. The col- lection comprises more than 700 speci- mens of silk manufactured by the de- scendants of the Huguenots who set- tled in Spitalfields and Bethnal Green, London, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. It has lately come into possession of the Interna- tional Buyers’ club and is said to be the most valuable of its kind in the world. The fabrics of the collection are as durable and the colors as brilliant as if they were turned from the looms yes- terday. The disintegration of the silk fabric that one sometimes sees in Chi- nese mandarin coats has not taken place. Indeeed, the old French silk workers did not develop their art from the ancient Chinese, who jealously guarded the secrets of their craft, The silk industry was originated in the western world by two Persian monks who had resided in China and . who in about 550 firought ty» Constan- | tinople the eggs of the silk worm in a hollow bamboo tube. From these | contents developed the silk industry of ' Europe. There is an elusive delicacy about : the French silks that quite defies de- . scription. Many of the French pate terns are quite up to date and are said to be in line for any revival of styles. This is particularly true of the tiny patterns in checks, blug, red. green and brown in fields of white silk, all of which are adapted to cravats. The gorgeous colors are shown in the silks of upholsteries; the most delicate and evanescent in those evidently intend- ed for women's apparel or draperies. Wonderful dyes the French weavers used, vegetable dyes that increase in their beauty as the years go by. Gold, pure yellow, brilliant gold, is shown; white, ivory, flesh, coral, turquoise, ap- ricot, ocean green. ashes of rose, chartreuse, honey, maple, geranium, scarlet, cardinal, garnet and a thou- sand other tints that would be hard to match today even when we have 323 shades of navy blue alone. The strength and durability of the silks in this collection, some of which are hundreds of years old, suggest that with reasonable care they are proof against disintegration of the ages. There {8 not a cracked, worn or thin sample among them. The brilliance of their dyes, some of whose formulas are at present lost to the world, is evidence that the world may never be forced to be completely dependent upon any one nation for its dyes and that the forgotten lore in the art of dyeing fabrics reveals the varied fu- ture that may be revived under the spur of necessity. get oe The Reason. “Monday is generally a fine day fer motorists.” “Why Monday especially?’ “Becnuse it comes after the Sunday speeding pinches.” ——TFor high ciass job work come to the “Watchman” office. em eeee——————————————— EE ———— oe NEW PERFECTION OIL COOK-STOVES A" rd ES | I [TH LN 1 h f Jol S ON’T wear yourself out toiling over a sweltering coal or wood range.
