WHO'S GOING T0 THRESH YOUR
 GRAIN?

This section will have the big gest crop of grain oats and wheat to harvest this year, perhaps, that 1t has ever had in all it's history. What are you going to do about the threshing problem? Theshing machines in this coun- try are very few so few, in fact, that they will probaly be entirely inadequate to the handl- ing of the crop the farmers have on hand Much of the oats-per- haps the entire crop, can be fed to stock, it is true, thus dispos- ing of that crop economically without the need of threshing; but that is not the case with the wheat. The wheat crop must be threshed.
 And then, there is the peas another crop that ought to be threshed. An ample supply of seed peas for next years plant ing ought to be saved this season instead of paying $2. % to $500 bushel for them next spring; and the only practicable way of saving so large quantity IS the use of a threshing machine that will thresh peas on the vine. Picking peas by hand and beat ing them out with a stick is en- tirely too slow for the average man. The result is that the pea crop every year is less than half as larged as it ought to be.
 There.are combination thresh- CTS on the market that will thresh bothsgrain and peas, even pea nuts, and, ,ebetween these differ ent crops there will be plenty of work for such a machine to do
 Thislis a question that calls for serious thought. The aver ave small farmer cannot afford to buy a thresher for the small amount of grain and peas he will have to handle; yet, he must have some way 10 get the thresh- ing done. & What is the solution? We believe it is the partnership, or cooperative purchase and use of a thresher. Let half dozen or a dozen farmers go in togeth- CT and buy thresher and use it

CUDAHY BUILDING
WRECKED BY BOMB
Explosion at Kansas City Causes
Loss Estimated at Seventy-Five
Thousand Dollars.
TWO MEN SEVERELY INJURED

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April IL. -
An explosion believed by the police
to have been caused by a bomb,
wrecked the seven-story cooling
building of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany's plant here tonight, causing
a loss estimated at $4,000. Two
men employed in the building at the
time were injured.
Investigation, however, developed
no trace of an explosive. Company
officials asserted there was no gas in
the building and that the cooling
pipes contained no ammonia or other
materials that might explode.
More than 200 men are employed
in the building on week days, but
today only two were at work. Both
were burned dangerously.
James Hale, superintendent of the
plant. denied stories circulated in the
packing district that the Cudahy COM
pany had been shipping much meat to the
European allies. He connected the ex-
plosion with two fires that have dam
aged the plant in the last three months,
both believed to have been of incendiary
origin.
