HUTCHINSON, kas.. Aug. 2..-The
question OF what to do with the straw.
which has bothered the Kansas farm
erS for years, appears to be solved
by the opening OF a strawbOard plant
in Hutchinson. 1t will create market
for product that has never been of
practical use throughout the Kansas
wheat belt.
The Western Straw Products Com-
pany. which is now completing large
plant on the eastern edge of Hutchin
son, will. January l or before, com
mence to handle straw on a large
scale. The daily output OF the concern
will be from torty-fivc to forty-eight
tons Of strawboard a day. There will
be about sixty tons of straw used
daily.
Straw a Waste Product.
Straw is of little use to the farmer
now. The practical uses are few. Try
as he might. The farmer has not been
able to figure how he could handle
the straw III a profitable manner
The Western Straw Products Com
pany asserts that it Will be able to
purchase straw at a price that vii!
make the selling of il profitable to the
farmer In twelve counties within
the purchasing distance of Hutchinson.
there was wheat acreage of 1,305 500
acres. These counties are Barton,
Reno, Rice. Sedgwick, Stafford, Ed
wards, Pawnee and Sumner.
Within radius of team hauling dis
lance of the mill, or twenty miles, it is
estimated that there are three hundred
thousand acres of wheat under cult
walton.
Straw is figured at about One-half
ton to the acre. According to this
ratio there should be 114,6o0 tons OF
straw available under the estimated
condition.

WOMAN REACHES
Century MARK
Mrs. Jonathan Hunt Has Twice
Witnessed Coming of
HaIIey's Comet

OAKLAND. May 24.-In Mrs. Jona- :
than Hunt of 420S Piedmont avenue.
who viii celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of her birth next Friday.
Oakland boasts a resident who not only
has the unusual record of twice wit
Messing the visit of Halley's comet, but
had the honor of first watching it while
a mother surrounded by. her children.
Now, after as years. the return of the
vagrant Of the heavens has found her
surrounded not oHly by children, but
by grandchildren and great grandchil-
dren.
Mrs. Hunt, who is one of the oldest
residents of Oakland. as well as one
of the oldest women in the state, and
one of the Oldest great grandmothers
in the country settled with her hus-
band in 1856 on a tract of land on the
outskirts of Oakland which they named
Glen Echo, and where Mrs. Hunt still
lives. Here her husban nd died % years
ago and there are now living three
children. eight grandchildren and u
great grandchildren OF the children.
William Hunt lives with his mother,
while Mrs. A. p. Flint and Mrs. Sam
uel Hubbard are the others.
Mrs. Hunt remembers hearing in 1915
about Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
She has seen the stagecoach supplanted
development of the electric cars, the
automobile and the flying machine, TO
say nothing of the marvellous changes
wrought by the telegraph, the tele-
phone and wireless telegraphy.
Mrs. Hunt, who was born in Spring
field, Mass, in 1910, is the daughter of
Rev. Samuel OsgoOd. who for so years
was the pastor of the First Congress ga
tional church of that city. In 1928 she
was maj arried 10 Jonathan Hunt of Ren-
nington, Vt, descendant of the Green
Mountain Boys, and they later moved
to New York city, where Hunt became
a prosperous and prominent merchant.
Fourteen children were born to the
couple during this period, and in 1856,
with nine of their children, they came
to California by the way of Panama.
Hunt was elected tax collector of San
Francisco, and later. in company with
William G. Ralston, inaugurated the
Pacific insurance company, of which he
was president.

to the Yosemite valley as the especial

opinion, 'the spot in which the creator

good and virtuous Ewes and apparently
so few tempting serpents.'
Young spoke impressively as to the
duties of the master plumber. remind
ing the delegates that they should be
energetic in securing the adoption of
good sanitary laws, not for selfish rea-
sons. but for the maintenance of the
public health
Young was one of the founders of
the national association and for many
years chief sanitary officer of Chicago.
Today,s deliberations were principally
regarding the business and financial
reports of the association.

"BLAB MOUTH" OFFICER
CALLS JAMES DARLING
His Patriotism Is the Neriest
Sham, Says Col. Watrous

MILWAUKEE,. May 24-CoIone
Jerome A Watrous, paymaster of the
United States army. retired. criticises
past Commander in Chief James Oar
ling as a "blab mouth" for his fiery
protest against the installation of q
statue of General Robert +. Lee in the
hall OF fame, and said Darling's style
of patriotism is the veriest sham.
Colonel Watrous' statement in part
follows:
Darling's latest advance on the
dead enemy and his dead flag. uni
form and confederacy, recalls Sen
ator James Gordon's recent remark
about a class in the south that is
still carrying on the war of the re-
bellion. The old senator, himself
gallant confederate soldier, called
the rampant fighting class that
hops in the limeIight on the slight
est provocation "blab mouths"
adding that they had a small part
in the war and have little inf1u-
ence. Darling's fresh outbreak is
proof that we have at least one of
Senator Gordons class of "blab
mouths" at the north. Darling's
style of patriotism is the veriest
sham.

Dared to Fight

Kearny street car, was convicted by
Police Judge Shortall yesterday of a
charge of battery and will be sentenced
today. c. M. Holce, attached to the
board of health, was the complaining
witness. and he testified that he
boarded Frost's car at Market street and
at Sutter street Frost roughly told him
not to block the passageway. He told
Frost he had better look out and not run
over any one instead of looking after
the passageway. Nothing more was
said and when Holce got off at CLAW
street Frost followed him and struck
him in the face. Frost admitted strik-
ing Holce, but asserted that Holce had
called him offensive names and defied
him to get off the car at Clay street
and fight it out.
