lT has been noticed this year that
there were two sets Of grains on many
ears of corn. Scattering grains would
be found on the ear which were quite
mature and along side Of them would be
rows OF grain evidently younger and
more watery and juicy, f. J, Smith
the Hamlin grain buyer says this is due
to a second fertilization Of the corn. His
theory Is that the early tassels, had just
commenced the work Of fertilization
when the drouth struck them and
blasted them, Acouple or three weeks
latter when the rains came new tasscls
came out and completed the work Of
fertilization which accounts for two ages
OF grains on the same cob This may
be an old story 10 the veteran corn
raisers but we confess it is a new one on
us'-Hiawatha Democrat.

COUNTY attorney Mccormick of Rush
county was in the city Friday attending
the hearing Of the grain cases. He has
been thinking OF bringing suit against
some Of the Rush county grain dealers
for violation Of the antitrust law and
wanted to get all the information along
that line he could. He says he has
strong evidence and his evidence tallies
exactly with that pocured by others con-
cerning their plan Of operations, He de.
sciibes il as follows; Mr. Smiley Of
Topeka secretary Of the grain dealers
association comes down to his county
and visits the dealers of each town, If
there are four dealers in one town he
says, now we want 10 be friendly with
one another, we want no grain fights,
You four men each buy one fourth of the
grain offered each month as nearly as
you can determine. If one gets more
than one fourth, ut the end of each
month he pays to the other dealers
three cents for each bushelof such ex.
cess, Then he takes forfeit OF Sloo.
from each OF them TO hold them to the
agreement, and the thing is done,
While nothing is said about maintaining
prices it will be readily seen that this
process does fix the price, No dealer
can get exactly one fourth of the grain
marketed and if they do not get three
cents above the usual cost for market
ing grain the one that buys more than
one fourth will loose three cents per
bushel above the old time margin for
buying and shipping.

Mr.. J. L. Sullivan of Valley township
who was a caller in this office one day
last week delivered an interesting dis
cussion on the subject of "Shredders, +"
Perhaps the matter was generally
known to the farmers witnessing the oper-
ations at the fair in this city few weeks
ago, that the machine which shucked
corn and chopped up the fodder is
called Shredder At any rate such is
the case, and according to Mr.. Sullivan
the shredder is about the most valuable
invention that has come to the farmer,
especially the farmer of this portion Of
the country, in many years. Besides
doing the work Of shucking the corn, it
chops up the stalk OF the fodder so that
stock will leave but a few of the coarsest
pieces uneaten. According to all the
reports of the experiment stations there
is much more nutriment in the stalk
than in the leaves Of the fodder If it can
be broken up and shredded so that the
animals can eat it. After being run
through shredder the fodder may be
stacked up and kept for years like hay,
There are at least two OF these ma
chimes now owned in this county. One is
the property of the Combs brothers in
Valley township and the other is owned
by an Arlington man. There may be
others in the county. AT any rate it is
safe to say there will be many more
within few years. Their present price
is somewhere from sI75. to $3.50. and
most Of them at least require thresh-
ing engine for the motive power.

Kent A pefaulter.

For several days there has been ugly
rumors aAoat in this city to the effect
that d. w. Kent, formerly prominent
citizen OF this county and an attorney at
the Reno county bar, who for about six
years has been Grand Secretary Of the
Odd Fellows OF Kansas, had absconded
with funds Of that concern. Nothing
was published however till in Tuesdays
mornings papers. Investigations were
in process and there was evidently eau
tiousness among his brother Odd Fell
lows to make no statements that might
be wrong The Topeka Capital of Tues
day morning contained column and
half devoted TO the matter.
While the investigations are not com
plete at this writing it is estimated that
his shortage is about $500. Against
this he has furnished bond in some Sc
curity company for S3,oco only. This
seems like avery remarkably small bond
for one that handles so much money, 1t
is stated that his reports and payments
to the treasurer of the order have al
ways been prompt until very recently.
He had been in the habit of paying over
the funds at odd times when he would
have sufficient amount on hand to make
1t worth while. 1t had been some months
since making any such payments but
nothing was thought of it till the time
for his annual settlement went by and
Kent was away. This brought out the
investigation which revealed the facts
of his shortage,
1t is said to have been two weeks or
more since he has been in the office.
But he has been in Hutchinson since
that, He was here as he said to see the
marketing of some fruit from fruit
farm he is supposed to own northwest Of
town. When he was here he was ap-
parently game and clipper as a fight
ing cock. There was no sign of worry
in his countcnance or demeanor. But
it seems that he never went back to To-
peka from here. 1t is claimed that one
from Topeka saw him in Chicago as late
as the 18th,
Kent was always great hustler and
he would push proposition with about
as much vigor as any one that could be
found, However it is probable that be
never had much system order, method
to his work and never knew just where
he was located. This may be response
bic for his fall from grace. However, it
seems more likely that his love of fast
horses is more responsible. He kept
stable Of sixteen at his hme in Topeka.
These were frequently represented at the
speed rings in the eastern part Of the
State. 1t is claimed that he had no bad
habits and did not gamble but such
string of horses constitute luxury few
are able to support even If others do the
betting. 1t ltappears now that all these
horses have been disposed of and the in
dications are there is little or nothing
that may be levied upon. He was sup
posed to have owned considerable prop
erty in this vicinity having been the
reputed owner Of several farms, but it
seems to develop from the best informa-
ton obtainablc that there is practically
nothing in his own name, and most Of
the farms have been sold.
Mr.. Kent's family are in Topeka and
are said TO be heart broken over his
actions. They express an intention to
surrender the property in their name to
help make good his defalcation. His
wife recently underwent surgical oper-

The day was when men Of promi-.
nence hesitated to give their testimoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for publ
cation. This remains true today of
most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one
hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.

given Peruna strong endorsement.
