NEW INDUSTRY ESTABLISHED.
Broom Corn Harvester Is Being Made
Here.

One Of the latest acquisitions TO the
manufacturing industries is the location
of the Poole Broom Corn Machine Co.
While this company will be engaged in
the manufacturing of farm machinery in
general, yet the machine, the handling
of which they expect 10 make a spe-
cialty, is a machine for the harvesting
and caring for of broom-corn. This ma
chine IS constructed very rigid and out
of the best Of material. This machinery
which is all incased to prevent accidents.
is mounted on a structural steel frame
and the whole is built on the principle
Of a header. Three to four horses are
used for propelling the machine, while
the machinery is propelled or operated
by a siX-horse power gasoline engine of
the horizontal type. This engine is made
cut Of the best material obtainable and
has very simple working parts. all of
machine the broomcorn is cut, sorted,
seeded, and bound in one operation. 1t
cuts three rows at a time and the eSti-
mated capacity of each machine is from
fifteen to twenty acres per day. The
company is now building these harvesters
and will have them out in time for this
years harvest. The possibilities of this
company in the handling of farm ma
chinery and of a broom lcorn harvester in
particular, are unlimited. The fact that
there is no other machine on the market
for the harvesting of broom-corn makes
the field of operation unbounded.

THEY CALL 1T YEAsT-o.
The Wonderful New Yeast Made in
Wichita.

The Holland Yeast Company Of this
city have been conducting series of
experiments in yeast production extend
ing over a period of several months. The
experiments were continuation Of those
being conducted by NJ. Pasteur a the
time of his death; the object being to
produce this useful article at lower
cost than heretofore.
A recent accidental discovery led to
the result desired and. as is often the
case. the cheaper product is now found to
be better than those heretofore, produced
at much greater cost; the new article
being especially famous for the white,
sweet quality of the loaf in which it is
used. The new yeast will retail at about
half the usual price. Every yeast user
ought to get package from his grocer
and notice what a wonderful difference
IT makes in the quality of the baking.

The conversation now is animated, and

audience.
Lucy finally acknowledges that she

With the opening of the theaters the
matinee girl has come back to town from
her long joyous holiday, and prepared to
do homage more fervently than ever to her
favorite matinee idol. But the really and
truly matinee girl does not always confine
herself to, one idol She frequently has
several and she worships at their various
shrines with a devotion which has per-
haps its best expression sartorially.
Uusually she selects her masculine idol
for the delightful way in which he makes
love to the heroine Of the piece; but as for
the actress whom she worships, we'll there
are a great many different reasons ad-
yanced to explain this alteration. One has
such dear, cute little ways that you cam
not, help but love her. Another dresses
SO beautifully or another always wears her
gowns with such chic that the matinee
girl almost despairs Of ever being able to
copy her, 80 she goes to observe as we'll
as to admire her favorite stage exponent
of the artEof dress. zss.
And the influence Of the stage is very
apparent in5the matinee girls new waists
which she has had prepared in advance for
the coming season. Of course, all the
leading actresses wear imported gowns,
and, therefore, the matinee girl is quick
to seize upon and to make her own any
point which appeals to her especially. And
| she issso quick and eager in her adapta-
tions and adoptions Of the new fashions
| that the uninitiated might almost think
they had been especially designed for the
| matinee girl herself and none other.
