PLENTY OF THREsHERs.

Seven brand new dhreShfrg cutii.s,
direct from the factory, We're u-lcad-
ed at Great Bend Tuesday morning
and scarcely day has passed for the
last two weeks that one or more INV
outfits have not been unIoaded at tnii
place and more are arriving daily. OF
course, all of them are not staying N
this immediate vicinity-some Of
them will be taken farther west or Up
the branch, but the bulk of them viii.
remain in the county or nearby vi
cinity. Hands will be plentiful IN a
few days, as soon as the rest of the
farmers have finished their cutting,
and with an abundance of good
thrcShing machines the golden grain
is going to be shelled out at a rapid
rate. A number of outfits have al
ready started IN this vicinity and TIE
wheat is turning out wsN at all point!
in some fields much more than was
expected while in others the yisld is
slightly Disappointing, the hot westh
er seeming to have Injured the croE
to some extent in some places. Al
the present time the price is hoveri;l
around the so cent mark, which il
much less than it should be consider
ing that the European crop is report
ed to be very light, and the iudica
tons are that the price will show
substantial advance in a few weeks
However, a large amount Of whea
is always forced on the market a
the time threShing starts and this ma
turely has a depressing influence O
the price. The quality of most Of tn
grain is good, but the berry IS SOM
what shriveled in the fields that wer
injured by the hot weather.

ACROSS IN H DAYS
The Most Wonderful Record Break
ing Achievement by Any Motor
Driven Vehicle in the World.

Erwin G. Baker arrived in New
York City at midnight May IA, break
ing all previous Coast-to-Coast rec
ords.
He left San Diego, California, May
Bird, at noon, Eastern time, and reach.
ed New York II days, II hours and
10 minutes afterwards.
Baker rode a 1871 H. P. Twin
Two Speed Electrically Equipped In
dian Motorcycle with Cradle Spring
Frame. He had no mechanical diff
culties whatever from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic his motor never
skipped. Bakers route included a
1927 mile desert stretch of sand and
cactus-the negotiation Of stupendous
mountain trais-and dashes through
roads in their worst possible condi-
ton.
At the finish Baker stated:
81 could not have possibly cut the
coastto-coast record practically in
half if had not had under me the
superb mechanical equipment Of the
Indian.
BY reason Of the Cradle Spring
Frame absorbing all road shocks and
vibrations my endurance was trebled
and l was also enabled to make speed
over rough surfaces that no rigid
frame machine could have stood.
"And when came to Black Canon
Pass, Arizona, the Two Speed CAV,
am exhibition that surprised even an
old motorcyclist like myself. Tina
Two Speed Took Me Up A Rise O
1000 Feet in 9 miles Without A Min
5 ute's Hesitation or Trouble. ThiI
was the supreme test of the Two
E Speed-and how it did come across!
Il especially wish to emphas,z
that the Indian l used was a Stocl
, Machine which l never rode unit
three hours before 1 started on m.
" run"
Bakers ride was made under tn
e official auspices of the F. A. NJ
r which checked and verified his time
The previous transcoutinental motoI
d cycle record was 20 days, 9 hours an
l minute.
2,7OO Indian dealers will supply 70
t with the exact counterpart of tn
g machine that Baker rode in his re,
e ord-breaking trip.

]. W. Jackson was up at Dodge
City the first Of the week looking af-
ter his farming interests near that
city, and reported that they had just
got a good start at harvesting out in
that country and that the prospects
were that they were going to have a
very heavy crop. He has a big field
of barley ON his farm that is still
green and he thinks will not be neady
to cut for couple Of weeks yet. He
brought back a sample Of the grain
which shows that it ds going to make
fine crop.

j. Lester Cox made a trip out
about fifty miles west the first of the
week to see about a wheat crop in
which they have an interest. He re-
ports that very little of the wheat is
cut as yet out in that country and
that the crop is going down badly On
account of being so heavy. Most of
the wheat out that way will make
about thirty bushels per acre, if too
much Of the crop is not lost before
it can be cut.
