Cars Are Ready

The Rock Island is taking nc
chances with breakdowns in
handling the wheat this season.
All of the old wooden under.
frames of wheat cars have been
ndemned, and the cars are be-
ing given steel underframes.
Several cars of coopering ma.
terial have been used in cooper
ing the cars during the past
month, In the Pratt yards, and
it will take several cars more to
complete the work. All cars un-
der the $4,000 capacity class are
not being coopered for wheat,
but the sos and those above are
all being made ready to handle
the grain. n.-Hutchinson News.

1867 is the amount "per
capita" the 1914 wheat and corn
crops meant to Kansas farmers,
according to ]. c. Mohler, secre.
tary of the state board of agri-
culture, and that average in Kan
sas to Kansas farmers last year
was the highest in the union &C.
cording to the same authority,
and the next in line was Nebras-
ka, where the average per farm.
er was 81, 1858. OF the fifteen
leading wheat and corn produc.
ing states, North Dakota and
Iowa, are the only other two
which clear the $1,000 per capita
mark. II may be easier to com.
prehend the vast amount OF
wheat raised in Kansas last year
when it is known that our state
raised one.ffth of all the wheat
raised in the United States.
The crop now being harvested
gives promise of being an ex'
cellent one in every way. A
large number of the farmers are
harvesting this week, and much
of the wheat is not yet ripe. How
well the wheat will yield canno
be determined until threshins
begins.

Joe Wood had what fortunate.
ly was not more serious acci-
dent last Friday evening. With
his family he was going to Fow
ler in their Maxwell and when a
few miles north OF Meade some
thing went wrong with the
steering wheel and the car went
into a rut at the side of the road.
One front wheel was broken off
and the front axle bent. At the
time of the accident he was
travelling at the rate of about ten
miles an hour, which is IN all
probability all that prevented
more serious damage being done.
None Of the occupants of the car
we're injured in the least.

Stack The Whea.

Unless some unforeseen calam
lity should occps the wheat croI
this year will exceed the phe
nominal crop of last year, and
will probably be more than 7O0,'
10000 bushels of winter wheat
alone. This means that the
threshing outfits, railroads, ele.
vators, etc, will be crowded to
the utmost and great part OF
the grain will stand In the field
for weeks, therefore, it should
be stacked.
Stacking will save grain and
straw which might otherwise be
spoiled in, wet weather. 1t will
put grain through d complete
sweat which will improve the
quality.
Threshing from the stack re-
quires less help than shock
threshing which will equalize the
cost of stacking. 1t also fur.
nlshes good storage with abso-
lutely no cost which would pre-
vent glutting the market at any
one time.
1.-THE grain must be removed for
early working of the soil. Stack
ing makes it possible to plow
following harvesting. Early
blowing is one of the greatest
factors in increasing the yield.
Discing the land early is the
next best thing.

Bootlegger Pleads Guilty
Gets Fine and Sixty Days

There was considerable exc
Citement in our city last Satnr-
day evening when Sheriff krisle
placed Abe Hansen under ar
rest on the charge of boot-leggiDg
Night operator Hammel was
deputized 10 assist in taking the
prisoner to Jail. When but a
short distance from the entrance
Hansen decided to put up a
fight; drew his knife and turned
on Hanmel who was unarmed.
1t was necessary for the sheriff
to administer several blows of
his gun before Hansen was
overpowered and placed in jail.
For some time previous to the
arrest County Attorney Sullivan
and Sheriff Krisle bad been
watching this fellow and had a
network of evidence woven so
closely about him that escape
was impossible and the arrest
was made before anyone else
was aware Immed lately after
being placed in Jail Hansen very
strongly denied his guilt, and
asked for bail, stating that he
could give light one. Same was
placed at $1,000. Being unable
TO give 1t, he remained in Jail.
The hearing was set for this,
Thursday, morning. After a
talk with the County Attorney,
in which it was made plain that
sufficient evidence was in his
possession to convict on more
than one sale OF booze, Hansen
changed his mind and decided
to plead guilty. He was fined
$500 and returned to jail for six.
ty days.
The good work done by the
Sheriff and the County Attorney
in securing evidence so strong
against the prisoner, that he
plead gu ilty, rather than to stand
trial, which would have cost the
county considerable, is deserv-
ing of mention.
Hansen is fully SIX feet tall
and weighs in the neighborhood
of two hundred. He had in his
possession Lake Sailor cooks
union card, and for the past sew
eral months has been employed
as cook in the Layton restaurant.

Country Club Gives Second
Annual Fish Fry Monday

The Country Club invited all
of its members and their fam
lilies to fish dinner at the Clubs
Club House at the lake on their
grounds Monday the sth day of
July. Early Monday Secretary
H. G. Marshall aud Capt. Painter
were stirring to provide convey
ances for the wives and children
of the Club members and by one
O'Clock p. M. all who could pos
sibly join the jolly crowd were
safely landed at the lake where
the splendid cooks employed
were busily preparing dinner,
consisting of bread, butter, all
kinds of pickles, fish and coffee,
and table after table were fed, in
the screened porch of the Club
House. The men of the Club
were catching and cleaning fish
while the cooks we're cooking the
same. Frank Marrs, Roy Twist,
Clark Armstrong, John Elliott
with an army of lieutenants kept
bringing in FISH by the dozens
until all we're fed who could
spare the time to eat.
Beulah Marshall won first
prize with rod and line catching
4 pound cat fish above the dam,
there was no slope to the bank
, so the landing required more
skill than it would have been nec-
D essary had it been in more fav-
orable place but just at the right
time did the really great angler
of all the club, DR.. Fee, arrived
so opportunely with his hand net
and the king of 6shdom was
safely landed and soon frying.
e Too bad those accomplished
y fisherman, Len Follick, Arm.
/ strong and Marrs were so busy
at the upper end Of the lake IN
, the spawning grounds catching
. the fancy croppies. They forgot
dinner and never heard the call
and were obliged to dine after
wards on their own catch.
