Novel Thresher

Curtis G. Baldwin, of Nickerson,
Kan, has invented a machine that
threshes standing grain in the field,
without cutting. Four horses pull
the machine over the field and a
small g~asolene engine drives the
thresher. Only two men are re-
quired to operate it; one drives the
horses and the other ties the sacks
OF threshed grain and looks after
the engine.
A machine was made and tried
last summer in a wheat field. 1t
threshed from twenty-five to thirty
acres in a day of ten hours.
The principle of the machine is
simple. A strong blast of air from
a revolving fan is blow against the
standing grain and forces it against
a toothed cylinder. which thrtshes
OFT the grain, depositing it i'm a
trough from which it is elevated by
an auger to another toothed cylinder
which rethreshes it. The chaff il
blown out and the clean grain fall
into a sack or may be carried thru
a tube into a wagon driven along
side.

WILL TELL ALL
TO THE PUBLIC
Deposed Food Inspector
Makes interesting Statement

A. ]. Mikalajczak, deposed food
inspector for the Board of Health,
who together with friends and public
spirited citizens are fighting for his
reinstatement, has some interesting
statements to make concerning the
Board of Health. In reference to
an article issued by the Board OF
Health, Mr.. Mikalajczak declares he
never knew what the so-called Pre-
~servaline" was until he found IL
used by a certain meat dealer.
AS a means of exposing the Board
of Health and to show to some de
gree what he accomplished when he
served as food inspector, Mr.. Mika-
lajczak intends to hold a public
meeting and speak there. He has
numerous health board records in
his home, which he claims will tend
to show what he did and what the
board did not do.
His letter, written in reply to a
statement from the Board of Health,
follows:
In reference to the article pub
lished in the local newspapers last
evening by the Board of Health,
will say that | conducted a butcher
shop in this city for a number of
years and can honestly say that /
never knew what "Preservaline"
was until | found it in a certain
butcher shop in this city. While
making an inspection in company
with the other inspector, Mr.. Frost,
| found the "Preservaline' and still
have it in my possession.
My intention is to call a public
meeting of the citizens Of this city
and explain to them several other
things in reference to reports made
by me to the board, when ] was in
structed to keep quiet and say moth
ing about them. The public will
know more in reference to the mat
ter in a few days.
