L. L. P. GROWS POETIC

Parker, Va, June 81.
Salad is out of season
And cabbage takes its place,
Snapbeans and Irish potatoes
Are also in the race.
The frogs have gone to croaking
And the locusts ceased their noise;
The people are all good looking
And each receive their joys.
The sun comes forth each day
And sends his gentle rays
To warm both man and beast
Throughout the live-long days.
The night then comes at last
With its cool refreshing shade,
Then comes home the workmen
With their shovel, hoe and spade.
Then gather we around the table
And eat the food before its label
ed,
Then lay down to sleep and rest
And thank the Lord that He
knows best.

BREAD BAKED HALF HOUR
AFTER THE WHEAT WAS CUT

What is thought to be the world s
time record in harvesting, threshing,
milling, and baking into bread was made
Wednesday with wheat from the W. S.
Gable farm. two miles west of Beloit,
Kansas. The time consumed in doing
this was exacty thirty minutes.
At 3:l4 the team started into the
field with the header, and at 3:l5 the
harvested wheat was at the threshing
machine. At 1923 Mr.. Gable drove his
touring car up to the mill door, and at
1923 the flour had been made from the
wheat by the regular process employed
by the Beloit Milling Company.
At $3.50 the flour was delivered at
Walker Bros. Bakery, and their baker
made biscuits that were taken from the
oven at 3:44, just thirty minutes from
the time the header went into the
wheat field.
