take the place Of the other which
isn't d self-starter.
Bu. to you and me and all the rest
of Us, it means-each bushel Of wheat
equals 70 loaves Of bread, each loaf
weighing Is ounces.
Then | began TO see bread instead
of wheat and wheat straw down there
in the field. Then | understood why
Kansas is so proud Of her harvest
She is harvesting bread from sunrise
to sunset every day right now. Why,
Kansas is harvesting something like
S,SO00OO,O00 loaves Of bread herself
this year. That's enough bread to
give every family in Che United States
several slices more than one loaf each
day of an entire year.
But Kansas isn't alone on this bread
harvesting job. The whole wheat belt
is in on it. There are Nebraska, Okla
hona, Illinois, Missouri Indiana and
others of the so-called winter whe.t
states; and North Dakota, Minnesota.
South Dakota, Montana and the rest
Of the states that 90 more strongly
10 spring wheat.
The biggest wheat increases will
lie made in Washington, where both
winter and spring wheat are break
iaE state records. The winter wneat
crop will jump from its 25,000,O00
IGshels Of 1914 to 32,1OO,OO0 bushels
his year Its spring wheat looks
Ike d 100000 bushel increase. Both
ef ,he Dakotas are headed towards
{ big Increase in spring wheat. At
the present moment North Dakota S
wheat fields point to a 25,000,O00
bushel increase. OF course, there are
many dangerous days ahead for all the
spring wheat states-the weather man
and pestiferous insects are to be con-
sidered
The winter wheat states are either
through with their bread harvestine
or are right in the sweating, swelter-
ing midst of it. Spring wheat states
will get their chance to sweat and
swelter in their wheat fields before
long.
When they are all in there is going
to he real bumper bread harvest in
this country. As near as | can fic-
ure it out, and base my figures o.
statistics furnished by Uncle Sam 5
agricultural department, we are gonig
to have a wheat crop that may re-
the go million bushel mark. That's
about 6009O,O00 more bushels than
we harvested last year.
Tie average yield per acre this year
will nc Is bushels. That means that
each one acre will give to The world
ll20 loayes Of bread. The whole Of
the wheat producing states will har-
vest 66,500, 100000 loaves of bread.
That ought to give each man, wo-
man and child in the L. S. \. 665
loves, opposing that the population
is around the 1O0,OO0,0O) mark.
Getting down to everyday eating.
each Of US could get few more
slices less than two loaves of bread
from this wheat harvest, but we
won't In the first place few Of US
would eat two loaves of bread every
Gay, and in the second place warning
Europe wants a few billion of these
loaves.
To be sure all of the wheat har-
vested this year won't be turned into
bread And in the turning lots of il
will be lost. But it's a great bread
harvest just the same. Ard Kansas
and her sister states can be prop

On a Kansas Wheat Field, July 26.

picked Kansas because Kansas is THE
wheat state OF these United States
of America. That's why | came out
here to help Uncle Henry do his har
vcsting Next vacation will spenl

out of the way.)
Yesterday morning | got up early
that is l thought il was early, bu,
Uncle Henry and his gang Of hired
men had gone to work So | hustle5

blue shirt and a pair Of jeans.
Then I pitched in on the Joo. As I
chose my own job | ought not to
kick, but | do, or rather did some
million times during the day. All
had TO DO was to load and unload the
wagon that followed the "he4der.'
As the heads Of wheat rolled over
into the wagon had to place them
around and trample them down. That
sounds easy-aud ii looked easy for
about u minutes.
Along about the l1th minute | be-
gan to notice that ,he sun "as shin
ing. 1t was blisteringly scorching.
The perspiration rolled down anG
trickled off my nose. And it kept
right on getting hotter and hotter
l am sure that il my shirt wasn't
blue it would have started burning.
Two headers were being used. Took
four horses to a header. Two wagons
follow each header as it is pushed
through the ripened grain. One drops
out to unload its cargo of wheat, while
the other is being filled from the car
rier that brings the heads out of the
machine. Two men go with each
wagon, one to drive and the other
to unload
Uncle Henry did The stacking him
self, taking care of all the loads from
the four wagons Usually he has d
man to help him, but this day he went
it alone. don't see how any flesh
and blood man can keep at job like
that from sun to sun.
There wasn't any loafing; there
wasn't time for that. The teams were
pushed to the limit The boys driving
the headers set the pace, shouting and
sweating but never stopping except
to change wagons.
When WAGON was loaded the team
hurried il to the stack, and there the
rush continued until it was unloaded,
and then we rushed right back. to he
gin rushing along with the header
again.
At 10 o'clock decided that | didn't

ALDERMAN GETS
BULLET IN LEG
Woman Admitting the Shooting,
Claims to be the Wife Of
Wounded Man.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO, jan 26.-Anna Zippman
''McDermott," who insists that Alder
man Frank McDermott is her husband
and the father of her baby boy Of
fifteen months, was taken to court to-
day for preliminary arraignment on
the charge of shooting McDermOtt.
The shooting occurred last night just
before an aldermanic session I'D.
journed at the city hall. The woman
listIessly admitted the shooting as
she stood over the PROSTATE alderman
In the city hall corridors, with the re-
volver in her hand. She made no effort
to escape and went to the Harrison
street police station. where she was
later released on bail. The specific
charge against the woman is assault
with a dangerous weapon with intent
to kill. The bullet lodged in McDer-
motifs leg, below the knee. Physic-
fans today said the bullet probably
would have to remain in the wound,
but that McDermott was resting easily
today and would soon be out.
McDermott, lying on q cot at st.
Bernard's hospital, today maintained
his silence regarding the statements OF
the woman and members of the fam
ily that a Catholic priest married them
in Michigan in October. 1914. Nc
Dermott has been alderman for three
terms, a democrat.

"GAME LAWS.

In answer to Mr.. J. S. Chandler's
question, where did Mr.. Titcomb get
the authority to insert subsection &C.
into the booklet as part of No. pol,
Acts of 1912, as amended by No. 176 of
Acts of 1915" Mr.. Chandler has been
misled probably by reading the Acts of
1915 alone.
This Act amends paragraph ''a' of
Sec. 9, No. POI, Acts of 1912 1t says
nothing about amending paragraphs
"b' and &C" of the same section. The
Acts of 1915 of course merely publish
the bills as enacted and do not refer to
paragraphs not acted upon, but which
may still be in force.
The pamphlet published by the Com
missioner not only gives amendments,
but gives.any Sections which have not
been amended or repealed. This mat
ter has been discussed with the Com
mittee on the Codiication of Laws and
when the next Legislature convenes
the paragraph relating to the seizure
far as lit relates to deer lawfully killed
when damaging crops. 1t is still nee
essary to have section of this kind tC
take care of deer when unlawfuly
killed.
There has never been any conflict If
this matter as it is fully understood by
the wardens, and the persons who law
fully kill deer damaging crops have
always been allowed to keep them.

VERMONT IN OCTOBER.
Hardwick Gazette.

To the lover of nature in her various
moods there can be no more delightful
season to visit Vermont than through
the month of October. Even we, who
are accustomed to the annual autumn
attractions of hill and vale, through long
residence among them, thrill at sight
of the flaming foliage. the spicy. frag-
rant odors of frost-touched vegetation,
the rustic of the squirrel in the falling
leaves, as he busies himself, storing his
winters supply, What must be the
delight of the city dweller, who steals
away from desk and Office or other con-
filming duties and revels in the delights
that nature has to offer at this beauti-
full season. With true hospitality we
invite all who are in less enchanting en-
vironments to come to the hills of Yer
mont, for few days at least, and revel
in the chains Ia are SC abundant.

1t has been an unusually good year
for garden vegetables. Seldom has
there been such a gathering of green
and ripe tomatoes and cucumbers,
beans, sweet corn, beets, caulifower,
cabbage, etc. And in this section, any,
way, ali these good things are being
conserved as never before, many a
cellar having much more than the US
ual supply.of home canned vegetables
and fruit on hand, and this will help re-
duce the winters living expenses and
also add to the 'gastronomic JOY of
those who shall gather round the family

Much of the increase in this very de-
sirable article of food supply is due to

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it with sprays. lotions and the like.
Temporary relief may be given, but a
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help cartarrh would be to have a change
of climate; but now with a simple prep
aration called Hyomei you can carry
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it few min
utes four times day successfully treat
yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
peEsive and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket, med
icine dropper and bottle Of Hyomei,
The inhaler lasts life time. and if one
bottle does not give permanent relief, an
extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
at any time for trifiing sum. 1t is
more economical than all remedies ad-
vertised for the cure of catarrh and is
the only treatment known to us that
follows nature in her method of treating
diseases of the respitory organs.

ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITING.

burlington News.
The suit against the HYDE Park and
Morrisville News and Citizen claiming
damages for an alleged libel contained
in a letter printed as anonymous,
knowledge of the authorship being de-
MED to the plaintiff by the editor, has
given rise to active discussion in the
State press. 1t seems that several
years ago the Randolph Herald and
News adopted the rule of not publishing
any communication in the form of a
letter to the paper or public without
printing the signature of the writer
Several other state papers have since
then followed suit. The Bennington
Banner is one of these, and in making
the announcements adds, The Morris
vile case is apparently an illustration
of newspaper suffering for somebody
else cowardice."
Well, that's just the point.
Why didn't this anonymous letter
writer print his name, with his letter?
When he found out that the aggreved
person was making inquiries about the
authorship, why didn't he go to him in
person and acknowledge the letter and
abide by the consequences?
Finally, when suit was brought, why
didn't he come to the front and assume
the liability, instead of leaving the ed
itor in the lurch?
These questions carry their answer
with them. The answer is that Mr.
Anonymous, like all anonymous lettel
writer's lacks the courage and principles
of man.

does not apply at all points, of DR.
