with us. I have found by traveling around
that out In my part of the state the rank
and file of the party are against the
movement, and that probably if some of
the leading republicans will make a fight
in the convention" it can be stopped. If

CHICAGO. April 14 -(Spcclal.)-The meet
Ins of the Western Association of State
Free Employment bureaus, was called to
order at the Majestic hotel at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, at which time President
Despain, of Nebraska, delivered an address.
The association will discuss plans for the
movement of harvest hands and adopt a
constitution which baa been prepared by a
committee appointed for that purpose.
President Despain said in part:
The benefits resulting from the success
ful accomplishment of ihe objects and alms
of this association can be tic-st understood
by obtaining a general conception of the
grain wealtn of the territory covered by
tile organization. Few people realise tne
Immensity of the grain ruuucuon of the
states composing this association, namely,
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Minne
sota, South Dakota ami Oklahoma, and I
desire to call to your notice and attention
this Important subject. The total acreage
uf the small gain crops in these states Is as
follows: Wheat. a2,o2.?l!); oats. lO.SHMM;
rve, 64H.14X; barley, i!,13li.91"; ruckwheat.
lX.!i:U; flux, 2,.01; or a grand total of
S7.if.i7. 7112 acres. The total production of the
small prain crota is us follows: Wheat.
Vid.WH.021; oats. :3s.$);',tf3;. rye. 1S.341,H6; I
tarley, 56.270.4S2: buckwheat. UK, "lit: (tax,
12.7VX.8U5; oi a grand total yield of 681.0tM.44l
bushels. In the acreages of the crops Min
nesota ranks first with over f,000.mii; Kan
sas second with 7.wi.'0; Iowa third wlih
6.000,000; South Dakota next wph ne-r'v
6imai; Nebraska with over 4,600.000; Mls
souri with 3.30u.it0, and Oklahoma wnn
nearly 2,tJtl.tmo acres. In their production
the status and rank cf the states change
with Minnesota again ranking first, produc
ing over 17!i.uun,uOO bushels. Nebraska ranks
second with 122,298,222 bushels; with Kan
sas a close third, her total production be
ing 119.915.074. Iowa fourth. South Dakota
fifth, Missouri sixth and Oklahoma
seventh.
Interesting; Comparisons. ,
The aggregate of the total production
amounting to :rl.(W,4M bushels as before
slated will be more impressive and greater
appreciated by making a comparison. For
Instance this Immense crop amounts to 84.

ng 10.1S3 of the most powerful engines
built today to move it, and then doubt
for one moment the merit or benefits to be
derived from the successful operations to
be derived from the plans of this associa
tion. Theae seven states produce more wheat
than any country In the world, exceeding1
the wheat crop of Russia by nearly 10.000.ono
bushels. They produce very near one-half
of the total crop of North and South
America and one-seventh of the
total wheat crop of the world. The
small grain production of the seven states
in question constitute the backbone and
foundation of this nation and the very ex
istence of the nation Is dependent upon the
continuance and further development of
this productivity. This productivity has In
creased faster than the supply of labor
throughout the states and each year's In
rresse further complicates the problem of
supplying sufficient labor to harvest the
Immense crop. Should the harvest season
occur In all these states at the same time
of year It Is estimated that 9n.onu men
other than those In the states would be
necessary to supply the demand. But
since the harvest Is at different periods In
the several states. It Is believed that one
half of this number, or 46,0'"') men, will
suffice. It Is the object of this organisa
tion to supply this number.. Each suc
ceeding year will Increase the demand for
men, and also increase the demand for, and
the value of. this organisation.
The Western Association of State Free
Employment bureaus is In the nature of a
philanthropic organization, organized and
conducted by the commissioners of labor
of these states, and to each and every
one of you is due the generous t'.anks
of the agricultural interests and all other
It terests of the middle west.

The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenths of the Nervous Prostration, Ner
vous Debility, the Blues, Sleeplessness and Nervous Irritability arises from some derangement of the organism which
makes her a woman. Fits of Depression or Restlessness and Irritability. Spirits easily affected, so that one minute
she laughs, the next minute weeps. Tain in the ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice, nervous dys
pepsia. A tendency to cry at the least provocation. All this points to Nervous Prostration. Although you may not
know it, in nine cases out of ten this is caused by some uterine disorder, and the nerves centering in and about the
organs which make you a woman influence your entire system. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and
prevent months of prostratbn and suffering so surely as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
" T)gAB Mb. PfTtaHAai: Words cannot tell what I Buffered before taking
your medicine. 1 am 38 years old and the mother of four children, the last two
being only 16 months apart. I was all run down, had fainting pells, palpita
tion of the heart, and was to bad with womb trouble that I could not be on rny
feet but a abort time before I would hare to lie down. Also waa troubled with
leu'xnrhtea. I waa nerrous and eould not aleep, and at timea wished I eould die.
"A friend insisted on my giring your medicine a fair trial, which I did. I
began to feel better before the flrat bottle waa half gone, and after using fire
bottles of Lydia E. I'inkham'n Vegetable Compound and three packagea
of banatire Waah, I wua a different woman- I owe my good health to-day to
you, and I will nerer suffer again while you in alt e such good medicine. I will
always apeak a good word for vour remedies. My little girl waa troubled with
her kidney, and one bottle of yonr Vegetable Compound baa entirely cured
her." Mas. Kimsi B. Pa-rr.rtsoif , Jeniaon, Mich.
Will not the vol a me of letters from women made strong by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all women of ita virtue '?
Surely you cannot wish to remain sick and weak and discouraged, ex
haunted each day, when you can as easily be cured as the two women
whose genuine letters follow, and thousands of others.
r... if. Pnraiy. I aaraati tVianV for tha rood yonr nedleine has done me,
When I wrote you last July I waa ao weak and nervoua that I could not endure the atght
of work. I waa in a terrible condition, ao nerroua that it took all of my etrength of will
to keep from conruUiona. The doctor did me no good. Mr heart troubled me. would hare
apellsof akipping beat and would flutter. I had auch a feeling of dread and fear about
me all the time 1 waa afraid to go anywhere. ... . , . . . ...
"I commenced taking your remediea aa you adriaed me, and in one week I felt better than
I had In a whole year before, and the gain waa ateady. Day by day the bad aymptoma dis
appeared. My appetite returned and I waa able to go to bed at night and aleep like a child.
In all I took ninebottlea of your Vegetable Compound and aeren of your Blood Purifier,
and would aay to all auffering women, do not atop at a few bottles, but keep on. In three
montha I waa able to return home, and have aince don the housework for a family of i sia.
It doea not aeem possible that I am th m person that uffered ao a year ago. Mrta. T. J.
