CORN HCOMINC ALONG
Warm Weather the Past Week Has
Been Favorable to Crop.

According to Francis F. Everett,
Mahaska Crop statician,, the past
week has been very favorable to inn
provement of growing corn but the
crop generally will need all of Sep
TENDER to get beyond possibility of
frost damage. Much of the crop Is
just now in the roasting ear" stage,
Taken as whole the corn crop is
three or four weeks late and condi-
tions of this sort are attended by
danger.
One of the hest reports of the sea
son comes from John Wilson who
has a magnificent yield from piece
of fine rye. The grain threshed an
average of A bushels per acre which
is equal to fifty bushel yield of

Oats and wheat are maintaining
the figures established by the earlier

to forty percent reported.

If there should be a break in the
ground wire how would the motor act
and how could find the trouble?
What win happen when ground
wire breaks depends on the function of
the wire, If II carries current when
the ignition system is in operation then
its breakage will, result in the motor
coming to p stop, but if the wire is
used to short circuit the magnetic In Or
der to stop the motor then its breakage
will not affect the running of the en-
CINE. When the switch is brought to
the off position the motor will not stop,
and therefore some other means will
have to be employed to bring the motor
to rest.
AS a rule when this occurs the trou-
BILE is easily located. The broken wire
is Indicated by the stoppage of the mo-
tor or its continued operation after the
switch has been opened, as the case
may be. The broken wire should be
easily found by inspection unless. as
sometimes happens, the breakage oc-
ours inside the insulation.

What is live axle and what is its
advantage over other types?
A live axle is one which is part in
the transmission of power and hence Is
in motion during the time the power Is
transmitted, II is The opposite Of a
dead axle, which merely has the fune,
ton OF carrying the wheels and which
does not revOlve with them. With a
dead axle 1t is necessary to get the

MORE DREDGES FOR DISTRICT
PRESIDENT AMERICAN DREDGE BUILDING COMPANY SEES
 GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.

That Kenai Peninsula holds out un- usual attractions to capital in the dredging industry and that unusual resources along these lines remain for development in the vicinity of Se- ward is the opinion of B. Bernard, president and general manager of the American Dredge Building X Con struction company of Seattle, who left yesterday on the Mariposa for Anchorage en route to. Susitna and the Kuskokwim country. "The future advancement of Seward as one of the leading cities to be quickly created through the government policy of opening up Alaska is assur- ed" remarked Mir. Bernard, "Its ideal location, protected harbor and natur- al surroundings alone would make 1t a city of importance in the future. These features coupled with its min erial resources should have attracted attention long before the government decided on it's R R policy and now that it is brought to the attention of the world, unlimited influence should assist in developing it's resources. Dredging is in its infancy on the Kenai Peninsula and Seward will naturally be the distributing point when it reaches maturity. It must be carried on in a business manner and simply resolves itself into manu- featuring industry. The ground con tains certain percentage of values, the dredge handles so much gravel daily and with skilled labor to keep the machinery in motion the results are assured"
 Mir. Bernard is well known on Sew ard Peninsula as one of the leading dredge operators and during the past eight years has installed eight dredges there. Several subsidiary
