DIR. j. HI. DONOVAN DEAD
ssuccumbed After an Operation for
Brights Disease i'll Chicago
Hospital Monday Morning.

The people Of Medicine Lodge
and vicinity were shocked beyond
expression on Monday evening when
DR. Hardin Gilbert received a tele-
gram from Chicago bearing the sad
intelligence that DR.. James H. Don
Oyan died in that city early that
morning. The cause of death has
not yet been ascertained but from
previous letters received by friends
of Dr. Donovan, it is almost certain
that he was operated upon for
Brights Disease and died during the
operation.
DR.. Donovan had been suffering
with kidney trouble for several
years. He spent part of last sum-
mer in Colorado, and last spring he
went to Chicago where he entered
a hospital and also devoted some of
his time to a post graduate course

been attending some good lectures
and closed by saying he would soon
be home, supplementing it by ad-
vising Dr. Gilbert to write him and
inform him what, if any, surgical
instruments he desired him to bring
with him. Hence, it is clear that
our people were wholly unprepared
to hear of his death.
The body is expected here on Fri
day. J. P. Hall,who was in Boulder.

"IrOnclad Wheat"

For several years a variety of
wheat known as "Ironclad" has been
grown in Oklahoma and in several
counties on the southern border of
Kansas. One of the inducements
for growing this wheat was the
statement that it resisted the at
tacks of the Hessian fly. Owing to
the fact that a few seasons were
favorable to soft wheat this variety
gave some very good yields and in
creased in popularity among the
farmers, gradually spreading north
and west into the states.
Soon it began to arrive on the
market in considerable quantity and
then the trouble began. 1t did not
give satisfactory milling results and
the flour made from it did not pos
sess sufficient strength. Millers did
not want to buy it even at a dis
count and elevators could not use
it readily for mixing purposes on ac-
count of the large long kernels that
could be easily detected.
This Ironclad is really a soft win
ter wheat of the Mediterranean or
Fulcaster type but when grown un-
der the prior conditions of the hard
wheat sections takes on a somewhat
harder character until it is neither
true soft nor a true hard wheat.
Also much of it has been grown in
the hard wheat sections until it has
become mixed with the hard Turkey
This mixture is much less desirable
than either variety when pure.
Our Kansas mills must be able to
r>-et the competition uf tie North
west spring wheat mills. To dc
this they must have a gooI quality
of hard red winter wheat of the
Turkey type" Furthermore, Ions
years of experience have shown tha

A few weeks ago Miss Mary Best

Prof. Carleton, among other things,

j. NJ. Miller Of Kiowa will repre-

at Topeka, September 10 to II. He
has secured a booth and nothing
will be displayed in it but Barber
county products and photographs.
To make this display success he
asks the cooperation of the people
OF Barber county, particularly the
farmers. He wants to display every
farm and garden product grown in
Barber county, featuring the display
with threshed grain in half-bushel
quantities, corn in 10-ear lots and
broom corn in punches of 6 stalks.
Mr.. Miller will be glad to receive
these porducts any time between
this date and September 9Th. He
will pack the entire display on Sep
tember 7th, and therefore can not
use any products after that date.
Those who can not conveniently
take their exhibits to Kiowa are in
vited to leave them at the Index Of

gather up all products donated for
the display the day before shipping.

users showed further that the aver.
age gasoline consumption for the
touring cars was one gallon for each
Is miles Of travel and one quart Of
oil for each 175 miles Of travel. The
Demi- Tonneau cars showed an aver
age Of TN miles for each gallon
Of gasoline and 200 miles for each
quart of oil. Some users obtained
20 or more miles for each gallon Of
gasoline, but the figures first given
are averages.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that this record has proved q revel-
alton. even to automobile manufac-
turers themselves.
1t proves beyond a doubt what
the Cadillac Company has always
maintained, that the elements in
motor car construction which are
absolutely necessary to economy and
immunity from repairs are scientific
design, standardization, accuracy Of
workmanship and correct alignment.
Also that necessity for repairs is the
result 'of poor design, inaccuracy Of
workmanship, Hitting and incor.
rectly aligned parts.
A year or more a"o they proved
before the Royal Automobile Club Of
London that three Cadillacs could
be torn down; all the parts thrown
in a pile; a portion Of these parts
discarded and new ones substituted,
and the three cars built up again
from the heap of parts to run with
absolute sweetness and without 50
much as an iota of looseness.
For this the Cadillac was award
ed the Dewar Trophy.
And now comes another demon
stration which simply embassies the
fact that the convictions Of the ca.
dillac Company as to the essentials
Of a long-lived, serviceable and eco.
nomical car are correct,
Cadillac measurements are finer
in a greater proportion Of essential
parts than those Of any other car in
the world-fner than the costliest
cars made. s

Thirty" owners in New York City

It is doubtful if the entire history
Of travel and transportation-steam,

There was in this instance no spe-

The 10 owners went their separate
ways with their Cadillac Thirty"
cars, each without reference to the
ether.
They took no special precautions,
but drove where they pleased, when
thew pleased, how they pleased;
without the slightest idea that their
experience was to be made a matter
Of record.
At the close Of 1909 statistics were
collected and COMPLIED from the
signed statements Of the rs users.
It was found that the rs cars had
travelled total distance Of 398,SS4
miles, or distance equivalent to
is trips around the world.
H Forty-six Of the owners had no
repair cost whatever-not single
,penny-in Anite of the fact that
some OF them mad driven their cars
as much as $4,000 miles.
The Highest individual repair
charge for the entire year was that
Of one user, whose car cost him
for special reasons which did not
reflect upon the construction in any
way-$l0, the distance it carried
being 1900 miles.
Eleven Of the others expended
during the year from 25 cents to 80
cents. The average distance travel
ed was 5,3ls miles per car, yet the
average repair expense was less than
II cents per car. g.,-, ~,1
