Portable Grain Elevator.

the shoveler needs 80 minutes rest
before he can proceed with other
work
The elevator will do the job in five
minutes. The picture illustrates how
the elevator is used. The front wheels
of the wagon are elevated so that the
corn will run into the hopper of the
elevator, which is operated by horse
power. The work of changing the
team is matter of a very few mo-
ments.
The use of these elevators is becom-
ing general throughout the corn belt.
The farm workmen are, in many cases,
refusing to work on a farm which
does not have one of these elevators

SENTENCED TO JAIL
BY Justice for Cheating on
Beer Measures.

Munich, April 22.-Serving short
measure in beer and deceiving the
people by filling the ''steins" and "sei
dels" with froth so as to form what
is popularity known as collar" has
just been adjudged by the criminal
court here as an offense punishable by
imprisonment.
The tenant of a gigantic beer house
who was arraigned on charge of de-
frauding the public in this way, was
sentenced to six weeks in Jail and fin.
ed $3.50, while five of his walters we're
sent to prison for from one to three
weeks.
Evidence showed that it has become
customary to serve glasses of beer
in which the liquor does not reach the
legally stamped mark indicating the
proper measure, the drinking vessels
being filled to the top with froth. In
this way the profits of the house were
greatly increased
The public Indignantly demurred
and virtual beer strike" was
brought about, and many hitherto pop
ular beer-drinking resorts have been
practically deserted.
The suit, instituted by several Gus
toners, lasted more than five months.

RECIPROCITY BILL
NOW Up TO SENATE
Underwood Bill Passed the

Washington, April 22.-Canadian re.
ciprocity is now up to the senate. The
Underwood bill, which passed the
house last night by overwhelming
vote of 266 to SO, will be sent to the
senate today and will be reported on
Monday. That the passage of the bill
in the senate is considered certain, it
will not, however, go through the up
per house with the speed with which
it was shot through the lower body.
There may be, probably will be. pro,
longed debate on the measure in the
senate and the old guard will die
hard in trying to defeat the bill. but
everybody who follows congressional
legislation closely believes that the eff
forts of the middle of this road stand
patters will be futile in the end
Practically all Of the Democrats
with the exception. probably of Sena-
tor Bailey and Bankhead, and few
other dyed-in-the-wool obstructionists,
backed by the lumber interests and the
big business interests will support the
bill The lumber interests and a few
senators representing the Middle West
will fight the measure tooth and nail.
The progressives, the Democrats and
majority of the Republicans will
back the Underwood measure and
wth handsome majority, when it
comes to a vote, and expect to swing
it to victory.
There will be strenuous objections
and long-winded speeches against the
bill by certain senators, some of them
talking only for public consumption,
for even those senators who are now
talking lOudest against reciprocity adj
nit that the Canadian agreement is
certain to be carried through.
