pleasant way of spending a hot summer

WICHITA MAN INVENTs.
Henry Poole Filed Letters of Patent
Yesterday.

Henry Poole, of 1917 East Murdoch ave
nue., who is interested in the Poole Har-
vestering company, filed three letters Of
patent with the clerk of the district court
yesterday, all of which have reference
to the Poole broom-corn harvester, a
machine for cutting, asserting and strip
ping the seed from broom-corn.
The first letter covers the whole ma
chine, and a minute description is given
of each separate part. The second letter
refers to the seed stripper, which can be
used either separately or in combination
with the cutter. The third covers a very
clever device planned for the protection
of the driver and horses By this device
the knives are placed in a cutting posi-
ton by the weight of the driver upon the
seat. II in case of an accident the driver
is thrown from his seat, the knives i'm
mediateiy close up, greatly lessening the
danger.
While filing the papers the clerk stated
that the above letters OF patent were the
first ever filed in the district court clerks
office in this county

FROST DID GREAT DAMAGE
To Strawberries in Arkansas and Mis-
souri,.

Ross Bros, Immediately after the frost
of last Thursday night, sent ont circu-
lar letters to a large number of their cor
respondents in Missouri and Arkansas,
asking about the condition of strawberries
ard vegetables in their sections. They
have received a number of replies to
these letters, and from these have formed
an estimate that about 40 per cent of the
usual supply of berries viii be received
here this season. The supply viii not
last a great length of time, and those
who care for this fruit should eat plenty
at this time. The price will remain at
about - cents box throughout the sea-
son, and the quality viii not be anything
extra either. One letter received from an
Arkansas point says that where they
shipped twelve hundred cars OF berries
last year they will ship not more than
three hundred cars this year. owing to
the frost. The buds and blossoms were
all killed and the berries that were ripe
Were frozen so hard in some sections that
they could not be shipped.
Vegetables were badly injured, as were
the apples, and blackberry and raspberry
