the ak in the rack again and turned
away, thanking the customer. What

answered the storekeeper, if I'm sell

Potato Crop Poor

Reed City-During tie past fort
night the farmers of Qsceola and adj
Joining counties have been a very busy
bunch of fellows. But this year the
question of getting enough men to
gather the crop has not bothered the
most Of them.
The average run Of potatoes in this
section does not seem TO be over 70
bushels to the acre and many are not
getting over so bushels, and still
quite a number are not harvesting
over 80 bushels to the acre. But this
section is not the only one having
shortage as the yield of tubers seems
70 be short in all potato sections Of
the country. The farmers in the sec
ton north Of Cadillac seem to be the
luckiest and are getting an average
yeild Of about 125 bushels to the acre.
While the crop is short, the price
has been very "long." AS high as
Sl.35 per bushel has been paid in this
county.

. few days. work from them? They
must be committed or sentenced be-
fore they can be put TO work. ~
THE resolution referred to, makes
provisions that said prisoners shall
be put to work whenever applications
from certain authorities is made. Ev-
cry application so made was cheerful
ly complied with by the sheriff, Ed.
N. Lowrey. Mr.. Vohlers made such
application and had the prisoners in
accordance with his application. We
quote from Supervisor Vohler's re-
port to the Board of Supervisors on
January IA, 1916: The labor preform-
ed on the school ground was worth
three times the officers fees for at
tendance This refers to the prison
ers whom Mr.. Vohlers had to work.
Why did he not apply for more pris-
oners to work?
"At the last of Mr.. Vohlers' second
card, he states: There were only
eleven days of jury work on criminal
cases in the circuit court, from Janr-
airy !, 1916, to the August primary
election" which is correct state
ment; but Prosecuting Attorney Hall
will tell you that Sheriff Lowrey's
splendid work in gaining evidence
against offenders was the reason for
so many pleading guilty as charged
and so few days in circuit court This
was big saving to the county as
day in circuit court with jury in at
tendance costs about $50.
"Mr. Vohlers' also replies to Sher-
if Lowrey's service bill as certified
to by the county clerk as the entire
amount. Mr.. Vohlers says Mr.. Low
rey 'omits giving the fees Of two
deputies 1t is apparent that Mr..
Vohlers made this statement with no
other intention than to mislead or de-
whom he referred were the "court
entirely outside of the sheriff's depu-
ties. Mr.. Vohlers knew they were
court officers when he made the state
ment.
'In compiling the so-called sheriff's
bill Mr.. Vohlers took no account of
800 per month or $1,000 per year al |
lowed to former sheriffs in advance
for board and this amount was not |
figured in any of the totals except the |
present sheriff's bill.
Don't forget that Ed. N. Lowrey |
offered to pay all deputies and do the |
sheriff's work in the county for the
offered a former sheriff, |
$4,000 per year and the Board of SUI
pervisors didn't act on the PROPOSE
ton. He agrees to stay by this offer
IN the future two years, if reelected.

campaign item published in the Ionia
Standard recently:
ITO the Voters of Ionia County:
| believe in fair play and in this
spirit | desire to answer the item re-
referred to above. / have personally
examined the records in the county
clerks office.
There has been no effort on the
part of the sheriff or any of his dep
uties to increase the number of
tramps who have had lodging and
meals at the Jail. The bills are in
keeping and as low as in other coun-
ties of this size in the state and lower
than most Of them.

which was fathered by Supervisor
Vohlers and passed by the Board Of
Supervisors relative TO employment
Of prisoners confined in the county
Jail, did the article intend to mislead
or befog the voter? Mr.. Vohlers
certainly knows that the resolution
refers TO prisoners serving time and
that the tramps for overnight cannot

OMAHA BOYS MAKE
NEW DEATH ENGINE
John Brotherton and William
Camper, College Students,
Invent a Shell Hurler.
RUNS ON STEAM POWER

Two Omaha boys, John Brother
ton and William Camper, have in
vented a machine for projecting shells
by means OF steam instead OF powder.
The boys began to work on the de-
vice when taking physics at the
Omaha Central High school in 1914.
Since that time Brotherton has been
working on the machine at the Uni
versity of Chicago, while Camper
worked at the University OF Omaha.
Brotherton came home for Thanksgiv--
ing and the young inventors compared
notes, finding that both reached the
same conclusion in different labora-
tories.
This machine utilizes the steam in
a steam turbine and thus develops a
great amount OF centrihcal force. The
she'll to be projected would be rotat-
ed by means of the turbine When the
desired speed is developed the shell
is automatically released and made to
pass through a special groove which
will transform the centrihcal energy
into forward energy.
Experiment in Cellar.
The machine has been made in
miniature and is operated in Cam
pens cellar, the Omaha laboratory OF
the students. The device will throw
the shells a distance of from two to
three miles when made in its normal
size. The boys realize that it could
not be used for long distance can
nonading, but they are confident that
for short range work it would be less
expensive to operate. They point out
that il saltpeter should run out that
the machine could be used in its place.
The initial power need not be steam.
1t could be electricity or gas,
The name OF the machine is THE
Brotherton- Camper Turbine Gun"
The boys have taken the necessary
steps to patent the device. They have
written to the United States govern
men asking it to investigate their in
vention and to see II it could be used
successfully.
