SPRING CLEANING DAYS

PURSE SHIPPED
WITH INVOICE OF
SAVAGE AUTO TIRES

Securely wrapped in one of the last
thousand tires sent out by the Savage
Tire company is pocket-book contain
ing money. The pocket book and its
contents belong to Harry Easton, who
works in the finishing and wrapping
department at the Savage Tire COM
pany S san Diego plant.
When Easton went to work one day
last week he had his p6cket-book with
him. While The amount OF money II
contained was mparatively small,
the pockct-book itself was large and
Easton found 1t hampered him in his
work al one Of the Wrapping ma
chimes, SO he removed the wallet and
placed il on his work bench
Just for q Joke, fellow workman
placed the pocket-booll in a partially
wrapped casing, intending to tell Eas-
ton about it, but while this workman S
attention was attracted elsewhere, an
other workman came along. In a mo-
ment. the tire was securely wrapped,
Eastons pocket book and all. in the
black paper labelled with the usual
red arrow and placed among a hun
dred others in the truck on which
I y
mate purchaser WAS made.
Before the loss of the wallet was
discovered these tires had been dis
tributed among thousands of others in
the warehouse ana Easton bid his be-
loncngs temporary goodbye. He is
confident that his loss is only tenn
porary as the wallet contained a num-
Der OF papers bearing his name and
address and Easton is sure that every
thing will be eventually returned to
him He says the Savage casing,
aside from the prize package feature,
is such an exceptional value that who
ever gets it Will not have the heart
to keep his pocket-book and that you
can count on the honesty of people in
general, anyway
The sum of money the wallet con-
tanned is not large 1t is, however, inn
portant to Easton as he has a wife and
"A large family to support We unite
with him in his belief that wherever
the pocket-book be found whether it
be in san Francisco or New York
/ Vancouver or san Diego, it will be
promptly forwarded to him.

DIAMOND KING IN JEWELL.
Gabe Wade Presents Friends With
stones From Kansas Farm.

Mankato, Kan, March 2.-Jewell
county has a diamond king. Not one
of your story book kind, who always
carries a handful of unmounted rocks
in his pockets or keeps them locked
up in a strong box, but a diamond king
who really has them and gives them
away. Gabe Wade, one of the old set
tiers of the country, owns a farm in
Harper county.
Recently he found some curious
specimens of stone on his Harper
county farm and sent them to Tiffany
of New York to be cut. After being
cut and polished they are almost as
brilliant as real diamonds and the New
York gem experts say they belong to
the diamond family. Mr.. Wade has
announced that he desires every old
settler who came to Jewell between
1870 and 1875 to have one of these
diamonds, with his compliments The
stone is furnished in the rough by Mr..
Wade and l.. S. Grimm, a jeweler of
Jewell City, is to attend to the cutting
and mounting.

COLONELSTOO FRIENDLY

Zurich, March Colonel Reichel,
Swiss federal auditor, in his charge
for the prosecution against the two
Swiss colonies whose acquittal has al
ready been announced on the charge
of communicating secret military
documents to the German and Aus

strongly condemns the too friendly
reIationes of one of the colonies with
the attaches.
He added that TO explain his senti-
ment in this regard he need only
point to the fate of Belgium, whose
adversaries have never been able with
any show of reason to reproach her
with anything except certain relations
which her general staff is supposed to
have had with foreign powers

KEEP OUT WEEDS
Alfalfa Fields Endangered by
Millions of Seed.
Crop Was Large Last Year;
Will SprOut Again.

Manhattan, Kan. March KANSAS
farmers are warned III advance that
unless precautions are taken many al
falfa fields in Kansas will be veritable
seas of weeds following the first
spring cutting. Due to the luxuriant
growth of weeds in 1915, millions of
seeds now lie in the fields ready to
terminate at the first opportunity.
Farmers are advised to cultivate
soon as the first crop of hay is re-
moved from the ground.
Removal of the hay" says Ralph
Kenney, instructor in farm crops in
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
will produce ideal conditions for the
germinat ton OF the seed of weed and
grass ANIMALS. Something must be
done to keep the weeds from sprout-
ing or they may literally take the al
falfa fields this year.
In seasons that are wet and cool.
as in 1915. it is profitable to cultivate
after the first and second crops of
hay because of foxtail and crab grass
coming on at that time. If this had
been done last year millions of these
grass seeds would never have ma
tured.
Many fields appeared to be taken
by foXtail and crab grass last year and
their owners are wondering what to
do with them. If the field was less
than two years of age it is likely much
damage was done II BEYOND that age
there probably was plenty of moisture
to provide for both the weeds and
the alfalfa"
Many Tools for Purpose.
There is no one tool that is de-
cidedly the best for cultivating al
falfa, in the opinion of Mr.. Kenney.
Any tool with teeth and with the abil
ity to spring upward or sidewise when
it GENES in contact with alfalfa
crowns should do excellent work. The
spring tooth harrow fitted with mar
row teerh works successfully. Num-
erous implements are made for the
special purpose of cultivatine alfalfa.
The disk harrow was one of the first
tools used for the cultivation of al
faIfa- At one time it was highly rec
commended for that purpose. The
argument for the disk harrow, that
it splits the crown of the plant and
thereby has a tendency to thiCken the
stand, does not holG true, for in many
cases the crown is cut off or cut open.
The splitting of the crowns causes
them to partly dry up and die and at
the same time exposes the living por-
ton to the attack of fungous dis
eases which are numerous i'll this
state.

KEEP HENS SCRATCHING.
Must Work to Make Liver Work TO
Produce Eggs.

Manhattan, Kan. March 2.-There
is a correlation between the legs and
the liver of a chicken Liver activity
is absolutely necessary for egg pro-
duction. so make the hens scratch for
their food is the advice of n. L. Harris,
superintendent of poultry, Kansas
State Agricultural college.
'AI1 grains should be fed in deep
litter" says Mr.. Harris. ''Oat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose.
Hens should be fed literally but should
not be fed until they are willing to
work for their food
There is an oldtime fallacy that a
hen can become too fat to lay. EX-
periments have been carried on to de-
termine the laying ability of fat and
lean hens and in every instance the
fat hens have outlaid the lean ones.
The egg begins its formation with the
yolk, which is practically all fat, and
so it is absolutely essential that a hen
have excess fat before eggs are formed.
A hen does not cease laying from an
oversupply of fat. in the opinion of
Mr.. Harris. but because her legs and
liver are not working to their full
capacity.
