PUTTING. NEWS INTO
 ADVERTISING

The other day half a dozen women appeared at one of the French race courses wearing startling new gowns.
 The day after, the news was exploited in the advertisements of metropolitan merchant with the added information that six of the models shown at the race course would be on sale within ten days.
 Had the art of sending pie tures by cable been a. practical possibility it Is safe to assume that the store an question would have been able te reproduce the gowns in far less time than ten days.
 Nowadays news events fly in to the advertising.
 When you read . advertise ments in The Farmer you are reading interesting. things; ,ad- vertising that Is saturated with live news of the day.

fury ago, and there are thousands of
people in the common classes, wage
earners who buy ice, who did not do
so just few years ago Anything that
has so much to do with the comforts
and health of the people, ought to be
made easy to get.
THE matter of municipal ownership
is really a matter of growth of pub
lie sentiment. The same principle that
would justify the people of a commun-
ity in the education of children, the
support of the public schools. is justi-
fable in that same community in
owning and controlling plant for the
distribution of pure, wholesome water
and cheap electric light. The same
principle that justifies these public
comforts will justify the municipal
ownership and control of a plant for
the manufacture of ice.
''Weatherford, Oklahoma, is one of
the first and probably the first, town
west of the Missouri river to establish
a municipal ice making plant The
commissioner of public utilities of that
city writes that the first season has
been very satisfactory, the receipts
amounting to something over $4,000
and the expenses about $4,000 or
profit of $4,000 in one season. The
plant including building cost only
about $1,000 and according to this
seasons profits the entire plant will
be paid for in three years.

as the commissioner of pubnc
utilities writes that ice mas
been sold to householders at 40 cts
per hundred, a lower rate to larger
consumers. and that it has cost this
year so cents per ton when running at
full capacity and 1 per ton when run
ming at a low capacity. He estimates
that it has cost the city somewhere
from 50 to So per ton to deliver the
ice or O. total cost at the highest
figure $3.50 per ton whereas the ice
is sold at IS per ton If the commits
sioners had planned to pay for the
plant in ten years instead of three, ice
could have been sold for twenty-five
cents per hundred with good profit
to the city.
eff any town in Kansas wishes to
purchase and operate a plant for the
manufacture of ice the Agricultural
college will be very glad to assist in
negotiations and in plans for the oper-
alton of said plant

Economical Source of the Sum-

J. H. Miller of the Kansas State
Agricultural college is sending out

found that the municipal manufacture
of ice is profitable and is the basis for
a plentiful and economical source of

WARD OFF HOG CHOLERA.
Double Vaccination Said to Be Sure
Preventive.


Smith Center, Kan, Oct 6.-Hog
ralsers of Smith county have learned
by actual experience in different local
tiles that double vaccination of hogs
is a sure preventive of cholera, and
the services of local veterinarians, who
do the work, are much in demand
Dozens of instances could be cited
where herds of the animals, forufled
with the treatment, have remained
healthy and vigorous, while on ad-
Joining farms hogs not SO treated were
dying daily. 1t has come to the stage
where every successful hog raiser mas
acknowledged the great value or the
serum and is immuniZing his herd
from the great scourge accordingly
So firm is the faith of Henry Rama
ker of Prairie View, Phillips county,
in the efficacy of the treatment that
he allows no unvaccinated hog on his
place and when he sells one a written
guarantee goes with it that it will not
die of cholera. If it does, the pur-
chase price is promptly refunded. Mr..
Ramaker is the foremost fancy hog
breeder in northwest Kansas, and his
example of vaccination is being fol-
lowed. by every farmer in his COM
munity. It is a notable fact that in
that community hardly a case of
cholera has occurred in the last six
months and hog raiSerS are jubilant
over the bright prospect for an early
and complete eradication of the
scourge from the country

STOCK SHOW IN ELLSWORTH.
Ar Eighty Acre Tract Selected fol
Grounds-Pop-Pop Races.

Ellsworth, Kan, Oct. 6.-After
many years of apparently futile agita-
ton, Ellsworth is to have an up-to-
date fair grounds and association. The
site is eighty acres situated just east
of town and already race track is
being built that will equal the very
best in the state.
Although it is now too late in the
season to have regular fair, "Spec"
Warner, who recently won the state
championship at Topeka, has guaran-
teed a big motorcycle meet on
Thanksgiving in which the best riders
in the state will race. "Speck' is con-
fident he can beat his Topeka record.
He will use his Indian racer.
The reopening of race track here
will bring out the thoroughbred horses
in the county. Several gentlemen
have signified their intention of buy
ing racing stock.
This revival of interest in bl0oded
horses recalls the time when the
Huntington, Lloyd and Evans racing
stables sent many horses east that won
many trophies for their owners.

New Depot at NIarysvilIe.

Marysville, Kan, Oct. 6.-The new
depot on the ST. Joseph & Grand Is
land railroad, which is in course of
construction at AxteH and is nearly
completed, is perhaps the best depot
on the route located in any of the
smaller towns. 1t is a large, roOmy
frame structure with a metal single
roof. The waiting rooms are located
on either side of the offices and are
connected at the rear of the office by
spacious lobby. A large freight
warehouse is located at the west end
of the structure and this room, as well
as the rest of the building, is plastered
throughout and wired for electric
lights. The new depot is certainly a
credit to the road and city alike.

LEFT HAND CONTROL.

eff in the early days of automobile
building the majority of makers hal
designed their cars with 1eft-hand
control they undoubtedly would have
accepted without comment and right
hand drive would never have been
popular" is the opinion of a prom
inent designer of motor cars. ssBut
all followed the custom common with
the horse-drawn vehicle. The dri-
ver's seat was located to the right
almost without exception.
GAS soon as the law in most cities
prescribed that all vehicles keen
strictly to the right, turn square cor
ners and stop on the right-hand side
Of the street, the need of something
different In the way of control was
felt. Nearly every one has experience
ed the disagreeable condition of stop
ping at the right-handa curb, possibly
in the rain,s and having to get out on
the left in the rain and mud. At
such times the disad yantage of ths
o1d-style control was forced home
It has been held as an argument
that it would be dangerous to sit on
the left side, as one could not see to
stop at the curb or to cut in close to

going In the same direction IN the
country And how much more safe
1t Is to be on the Ieft-hand side of
your car and be able. to see around the
vehicle to be passed when one is fore
ed over on the left side of the road.
The entire responsibility rests with
the driver of the car about TO pass
the one ahead and going the same
way. so he certainly needs the clear
est vision he can get
In meeting another vehicle both
drivers face each other and naturally
can pass with greater safety. The
danger always lies more with the We
h1cle to be passed than from the side
of the road.
Again, perhaps the most difficult

go around the corner when cross
street is reached. But a turn the 9TH
er way is altogether different. There
is. probably a stream of traffic going
In the opposite direction on the 9TH
er side of the street, and cars com
Ing up behind which Immediately try
to pass to the left the moment one
slows down to make a left turn. How
simple it becomes when sitting Oh the
1eft-hand side of the car; one can
glance back to note the conditions be-
hind and signal both those, in the rear
as well as those approaching, making
the turn without danger and without
loss OF time. By working close to
the curb no one can crowd past when
making right-hand turn, but crowd

NEW USE FoR AUTO.

Ferdinand B1icl, farmer and 1rult
grower, living just west of Lansing
Michigan, has one of the finest apple
orchards in the state. This orchard
is reIigfousIy cared for in the season
and produces fruit that finds a ready
market at q fancy price in the metro
politan markets The perfect fruit
only, is shipped, the second grade ap-
pies being used in cider making on
the farm Blick has been running the
cider mill for years with power dertv-
ed from a stationary gasoline engine.
This season the engine showed the Ell
fects of old age to such an extent that
it was RELOCATED to the junk pile fhe
uselessness of the engine was not dis
covered until everything was in read1-
ness for a run at the mill. Blick did
not want to stand the delay of a trip
to town for another engine, and cast
for a possible solution OF the
problem. Suddenly he thought OF MS
Regal car, and believed it could be
substituted for the former power
plant The car was soon lacked up
into position near the cider mill. "A
rear tire was then removed, the belt
placed over the fiat rim of the wheel
and the motor started. 1t worked per-
fect1y. B1ick says he will not buy a
new engine for the mill.
Thousands of columns have been
written about how the mammoth
production has been accomplished in
the parent plant of the Ford Motor
Co, by the development of special ma
chinery But every time one goes
through the plant they see something
new. In the foundry, the handling
of the molten steel, has been brought
to the highest point of efficiency. In
the ordinary foundry the molder
makes his moIds and when a "heat is
ready for pouring each no1der takes
his ladIe and falls in line to secure
from the cupola the molten metal for
his nnc1ds. Much time is lost by tile
men walking between their floors
and the metal source. In the Ford
foundry the molten steel is brought to
the molds in giant conveyors. In
making many of the parts the pouring
is done directly from the big convey
or but on some ''jobs'' the mou1ders
fill their ladies from the conveyor. In
this way the men move but a few steps
from their benches and floors.
Statistics about the giant factory Of
the Ford Company never lose their in
terest. The production for the "sea-
son of 1872 which ended Sept. 80,
was $4,000 cars During the rush
season the plant turned out 1, 900 cars
per day. Approximately 1900 men
are employed in the parent plant, to
say nothing of the additional thous-
