PIPES FOLLOW OPIUM AND
BOOZE INTO THE RIVER
kansas City Journal)


Dope fends, "stem filters" and
gamblers would have experienced a
bad hour recently, had they been
present at the obsequies when Leo
Mullin property clerk at police head
quarters oficiated at a burial in the
Missouri river of the largest %collee-
ton Of opium, cocaine, morphine,
opium smoking outfits and gambling
devices that ever has been destroyed
at one time by the Kansas City police
department.
Packages of cocaine, the "snow"
crystals, to secure which the dope
fend in his desperation will go to any
lengths, followed boxes Of morphine
into the Big Muddy Cans of opium
and the pipes that had assisted in
weaving many a pleasant dream in
a lettering brain, were tumbled into
the water to keep company with .
varied collection Of gambling para
~phernalia.
The confscatcd goods destroyed
twice filled a motor = Each time
Mr.. Mullin drove TO the North Kan
sas City bridge and there consigned
the illicit cargo TO the Missouri river,
These opium pipes w will be
fshed out Of the river and used
again." he declared as he broke
each stem before throwing it into
the water.
Returning TO police headquarters,
Mr.. Mullin poured several hundred
dollars worth of whiskey, beer and
wine into the sewer. 1t is estimated
that in all $4,000 worth of confiscat-
ed goods were disposed of.
There must have been 300 opium
pipes in the outfit destroyed" said
Mr.. Mullin, "and they were worth
lots of money. One man who wished
to a v his fayorite stem offered
me $40 if wouldn't destroy it. An
other offered $40 to have one re-
turned to him, and another. 81. They
were disappointed, however, for
everyone went into the Missouri
river.
Someone's personal liberty is
sure getting the worst Of it.

REST ROOMS FOR

Z
Here is a story Of spunk and the
southwest. The country women oil
oklahoma grew tired Of going to
town on Saturdays Saturday is sun
shopping day in many country com
munitiesl. and having no place TO
wait and rest-no place that was
their very own. True, they had the
grocery stores and the streets. These
thew used-used TOO much. They
themselves came to this conclusion.
In n town a count was kept for II
SATURDAYS. On these days an Y
age Of 10 country women with their
children ~loafed-the word seems too
harsh-and lunched in these grocery
stores or on the goods boxes piled on
the side walks in front. And eondi-
tons in this town were typical. There
was need Of a change. II came.
The country women did not petit
ton the cities for rest rooms. Re
membering the old story Of "The
Farmer and the Lark" they went to
work to get what they wanted. For
tunately they did not lack leadership
In Mrs. Irma Mathews-McLennan
whose entire time is given to eoun-
try organization work among the
farm women of 0klahoma,t they found
n friend and fighter, an organizer and
an enthusiast. Today there are
more than 1000 members Of the Ok
lahoma Institute for Farm Women,
and in II cities there are rest rooms
kept up by country women, furnish
ed by country women, and financed
by country women, who have the sat
isfaction of feeling that they are I'M
der no obligations to the women OF
the towns. "Of course the city SIS
tiers are welcome" is the way n cui-
tured and business-like country
woman expressed it. Additional uses
have been found for some of the Ok
lahoma Farm Women rest rooms,
One has become a little market. Mrs
Mathews McLennan, in describing
this novel exchange, says:
"A matron is in charge. Over here
is her butter stand, over there an egg
stand. There are one pound contain
! ers for the sweet golden butter anc
, dozen-egg cartons for the clean
] fresh eggs. The women of the town
when they want good country butter
or eggs that are guaranteed good, ne
longer have to go to the grocery
store, and Mrs. Smith, from the coun.
r try, no longer has to go to the bach
door of Mrs. Browns home in thu
0 city. Mrs. Brown is no better thar
: Mrs. Smith, but the former hap
: pens to live in town and does no
: want groceries delivered at the from
: door. Under the new system Mrs
9 Smith no longer goes to the bacl
< door, but Mrs. Brown goes to ge
: what she wants and is nightly gla'
to do it. This is just a give and ex
n change from country woman TO cit.

ity, no feeling on the part Of tn

A LESSON IN CONCRETE
POST MAKING
lBreeders' Gazettel

This morning was n Of leisure
ON Woodland Farm, so we decided to
M oar % little steel forms with con
crete for fence posts. We aim to set
no other sort but concerto posts here
after. and If we make them good
they will last | believe for hundreds
Of years. Already we have set some
hundreds Of them and they have al
most all proved good. Some were
inferior because we mixed the con
crete too lean or too dry, or failed
TO keep il moist after il was made
into posts.
We observed this morning that II
is essential to have the reinforcing
wires at the right place and to use
large wires. We are nsing now wires
as large as lead pencils, and hope
never to sec a post so reinforced,
break. Assuredly II the concrete is
good enough so that it will not
crumble the posts viii never break.
We set all oar little trough moulds
up on a springy frame Of planks, oil
them a little TO prevent the adhesion
Of concrete and fill them with rich,
wet concrete, so wet that it will run
as il is poured in place. Now follows
the most essential part Of the OPP
Grafton, the agitation of the moulds.
One man, as they are being filled,
lifts an end ard drops it with a
lar, repeating this continually, and
as one is Jared all the wooden sup
porting frame is also Jared and the
air bubbles rise. That results in
perfectly smooth posts of dense con
crete. Now we just leave the posts
lie for four days or longer, wettine
them daily, and in their little water.
tight beds it is easy to wet them
nor can they well dry out except OF
one side. When taken out they vii
need yet further wetting down fol
a few days; then they are finished

WHAT A sILo ACTUALLY DOES

WHAT A SILO ACTUALLY DOES
J.. Kelly Wright, of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, makes the fol-
lowing summary of what a silo actu-
ally accomplishes for those who use
it from reports sent in from all over
Missouri:
/. Harvesting corn and silage
saves from 50 to 40 per cent of the
crop that would otherwise be vast
ed.
2. Silage adds palatableness to
the ration.
3. Silage adds su~cculency to the
ration.
4. Silage serves to keep the diges-
tive tracts of animals in good con-
dition.
s.. Silage replaces high priced hay.
6. Silage serves to cheaper the
ration.
Z. When silage is fed, more feed
is eaten, hence more manure
5. The man who feeds silage uses
a manure spreader.
9. The feeding of Stage results in
more intelligence in other farm OPP
erations.
10. A silo is a badge on honor on
any mans farm.
IL. The man VINO feeds silage will
feed with it concentrate ricks in pro-
tein, and leguminous hay of some
kind. Hence not only more manure,
but a better quality.
IL. The man who feeds concen-
trates and leguminous hays with
silage is apt to try to grow legumes
in the rotation. Hence, a better and
more productive soil.
10. Silage is a good feed for the
general farmer.
IA. Silage is a good feed fol-
dairy ows
Is. Beef can be produced more
economically when silage forms a
part of the ration.
16. Silage is a good feed fol-
calves and stocker cattle.
II. Silage is a good feed foi
breeding cattle.
IS. Silage is a good feed for fat
tening lambs.
10. Silage is a good feed as a part
ration for breeding ewes if fed in.
diligently.
20. Silage can be fed SUCCESSFULLY
as a part ration to old brood sows.
%. Silage mixed with wheat and
potatoes, equal parts, and boiled in
water, makes good ration for poul-
try.
%. Silage takes up less room in
storage than either hay or corn fod.
