Kansas Needs Harvest Hands.

Topeka, Kan., July 3.—T. B. Gerow, 1 director of the free employment bureau, and Governor Hoch have sent telegrams to the interstate commerce commission, J. S. Black, pas-engef traffic manager of the Santa Fe railway, and W. L. McLeod, of the Western Passenger association, asking them to get together at once and grant a rate of one centra mile for small parties of harvest hands from all eastern points. The telegrams said that Kansas needs several thousand more men to harvest the wheat crop.
