Sept. 21. — Ten thousand young women of Kansas are as mu h a part of the harvesting the thousands of bushels of wheat Kan as as the many threshing crews which move from place to place in the wheat, country When the crews move from one place to another, the farmers make preparations for the men and the farm wives are just as busy preparing to feed the hordes of workers v.ho harves the crop. The men must.

be fed and the women see to It that they are fed properly. A report from one Kansas paper says’ that If aT the chickens which are slijughtored tor the harvesters were placed side by side on one roost it would span the distance from Montreal to Topolobampo. The mashed poatoes prepared would form u lajer a foot thick over the average Kansas county. Enoujjh honey is fed the meu to float a battleship and the ears of corn if placed end to end would nearly encircle the globe- Jam, preserves, Joly and pastries would fill the sweet tooth of the world for a day during the season. Naturally enough, one woman cannot cook all the food by herself, so the women come from miles around to assist in the baking, frying, boiling and molding and to assist the woman at whose farm the harvesters are. Then when the meu move on, the women move with them. They stay at the house where the work is being done if they live too far away to make the daily trip. Harvesters have a repiftation as heavy eaters. It is reported that the college men who help in the fields are not the lightest eaters. In fact, the farm wives say that these young men outdistance the regulars of the wheat fields when it comes to eating. o Ownership Os Bottom Os River In Question Chicago, 111.. Sept. 21. — (Special) — Who owns the hotjami of a river? This question is of national importance to sportmen and conservationists throughout the country, according to a report issued this morning by the Izaak Walton League of America, with headquarters here. If the decision now pending in the courts of Michigan determines that riparian rights on a river include the privilege of excluding all trespassers, the average American fisherman might just as well discard Ms rods and tackle box, and the state might as well destroy its hatcheries, the report states. Frank Collins, wealthy Toledo, Ohio business man. owns 1,500 acres ot land along the banks of the Pine river in Lako County, Michigan. Gedeon Gerhardt, a local sportsman, Is charged by Collins with having trespassed on his property. Gerhardt, it has been brought out in the trial, fished in a sectio nos the P'no River where [ftoperty owned by Collins formed the banks on noth sides. Gerhardt was arested. A justice court decision was given in his favor. Collins appealed the case and intends to continue to appeal it until it reaches the United States Supreme Court. Sportsmen of Michigan, mem. bers of the state division ot the Izaak Walton League, are collecting funds to carry on Garhardt's trial. If, the Walton League points out, the supreme court decides the case in favor of Collins, not only will the average fisherman be unable to enjoy his favorite sport, but the hundreds ot thousands of dollars paid in annually from fishing licenses will be lost and the large sums already appropriat. cd for the propagation of fish will be lost as it will benefit only such men as are financially able to own their own streams. o Tippecanoe County And Lafayette 100 Years Old LafayettV. Ind., Sept. 21.—(United Press.) —A monster pageant depicting development of Lafayette and Tippecanoe county will .be a feature of the joint centennial celebration which will be held here Sept. 20 to 30. The city of Lafayette was one hundred years old on May 27 this year.

Tippecanoe county is to observe Itit dno hundredth anniversary next spring. The date for the centennial celebration was set midway between the two birthdays. The pageant will show how this section of Indiana looked nearly 250 years ago when the eyes of white men first beheld it. In 16SS French Jesuits visited the Indian village of Oulatemon, near the site of Lafayette. The pageant, with oxen, covered wagons, Indiana and early settlers ( will re-enact the history of the county from that date down to the present. Dan Simms, Imfnyettc attorney/will take the part of William Digby, founder of the city. Others prominent in local affairs will appear In the pageant. The entire cadet corps of Purdue university, led by Major J- McNair, commandant, will depict scenes of the World War. Major McNair was on the staff of General Pershing during the war.

Wood, representative in congress from the tenth district are scheduled for addresses. o CHINESE AT OXFORD LIKE TROUSERS London. Sept. 21 —The Chinese may be backward in government but they are forward in styles. About fifty Chinese students at Oxford who are vacationing at Hoddesdon have rtled the citizens of the latter town by their adoption of baggy Oxford trousers of the very latest type. » So extreme are the styles that the Chinamen are wearing that the residents of Hoddesdon have taken to "guying” the Chinese. The insults are ignored, however, and the Chinese continue their Oxfording in the baggiest of baggy trousers. o —— Plan Attack On 18th Amendment In Congress Columbus. 0., Sept. 21.—A fight for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment will be led in the coming congress by Congressman John Phillip Hill of Maryland, he declared in an address here last night. Denouncing the amendment as unconstitutional and unenforceable, Hill said that although the constitution has been attacked since its birth, ’’these attacks, in the main, were futile until the war-bom eighteenth amendment was added’’ Hill cited figures he declared showed the number of arrests for drunkenness in Georgia had increased from 4.199 in 1920 to 7,000 in 1323. He termed this an indication of the failure of prohibition and said certain church reports supported his general position.
