COOPERATIVE THREsHING

jamestown Alert: One of the plans
which the farmers may get
suggested by their threshing done
early comes from Agent Freeman of
the Powers Elevator Co. at Eldridge.
In addition to the plan of stacking the
grain, he suggests that a number Of
farmers having not more than a hall
section Of land each, club together
and buy a threshing rig; one Of the
smaller seperators with gasoline en-
CINE for power. Not over four or
five farmers ought to 60 together on
deal Of this kind. They can appoint a
manager and all furnish teams and
men for the threshing of each mem
Der of the company. A threshing rig
of this kind can be bought for about
$4,000, and every one of the combina-
tion can get their grain threshed soon
after harvest. Then put the rig up
and do the fall blowing early.
In this way the small farmer can be
independent of the travelling thresher
and can get the value of early fall
blowing in killing weed seeds without
having to wait for anybody and until
it is too late to do much fall blowing.
In three years out Of five last past the
delay in threshing has caused losses
for small farmers who have no rigs of
their own. The present year will be
the worst of all. Already two weeks
of wet weather have interrupted
threshing and will cause an advance
in the price. Transient threshers win
demand more money, and it is said
that 81 per day are now being paid,
and in some cases threshers are charg-
ing IL cents a bushel for wheat, an
increase of two cents over the first
contracts. This price may go even
higher according to weather condi-
tions. ~

In the November American Maya.
zine is an exceedingly interesting
story entitled "A Fool and His Money
which has been written by 60-year-
old crook who has earned dishonest
but comfortable living for 80 years.
Following is an extract in which the
author describes gentleman burg

HE was young and handsome, an
excellent dancer, and always dressed
to the minute. The women were only
too glad to get the chance to dance
with him, and he made many appoint
ments Of which their husbands or
parents at home knew nothing. He
did things on an elegent scale, and
would escort his admiring dance part
ner home each night, using taxi Of
course. a ...,.-.3.. <., 81 .....-.-
AT the door he would take the
night key of the lady and open for
her. Generally there would be a
chat on, the front stoop, and at its
close the admirable dancer would de-
part, taking the key with him. If the
robbery of the house promised good
loot and the lady was thoughtful
enough to ask for her key he would re-
turn it, but on the next night of ap-
pointment he would make a quick i'm
preston of the key in soft wax. y.
In evening clothes and opera hat
this burglar-dancer would ride up to
the house in taxi in the early hours
of the morning, and before the very
eyes of the cop on the beat enter the
house and proceed about his business
of collecting the family silver and
cash. He robbed a dozen and more
houses and apartments in the West
| Side before he was trapped. He put
up a fight and was shot twice before
he surrendered. His career made a
mild yellow journal sensation for a
day or two" , .... a..y, ~

South OF the Niemen River the Ger.

action the Cossacks are daily showing
their superiority over the Teutonic cav
