WHEAT FROM OLD STRAW.

A Kansas farmer noticed that when
his chickens were turned loose they
made a bee line for the strawstack
and spent the day scratching happily
He investigated, and found a wheat
mine, whoch he decided was of paying
quality, He had the stack threshed
over again, and was rewarded with 1870
bushels of grain which he sold at
$3.50 bushel.
As result OF that experiment,
threshing crews have been busy the
past spring and summer all through
the wheat sections of the West
"Threshing outfits" have been going
from farm to farm, running the straw
through their machines and taking
their pay, as a rule, in the form of half
the grain recovered Both they and
the farmers have made money. and
mere has been an apprecciahle adj
dition to The country's wheat supply.
This sort of conservation is some
thing new in America Our farming
operations, like most of our activities
nave been conducted on careless
and wasteful basis We are just learn
ing the rudiments of real thrift. This
second threshing is richly suggestive
OF possibilities in many lines of agri.
culture and manufacture. We NAV
nave incalculable wealth. now I'm.

In the war
This war is making its heaviest
draft upon the educated young men
OF the country" the governors letter
in part reads The reason is not far
to seek. Modern warfare is based not
alone upon phyical strength. but up.
on the latest science and the highest
efficiency in business organization
The demand for men OF trained ana
disciplined minds is great A visit
to one of the officers training camps
discloses the fact that it is the men
of college training who are being Sc.
lected for the most responsible posi-
tons in the new national army. When
the work Of reconstruction comes,
which will follow after the war. there
will be an equally insistent demand
for highly trained men to meet the
new needs Of peace The entire social
structure will be changed by this war.
There will be such a need and such
an opportunity for the educated man
as has never existed before .

CLOSE RACE IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE

New York, Aug. 25.-The close
ness of the struggle for leadership
in the American League between
the Chicago and Boston clubs has
focused the attention of the baseball
fans upon the struggle for pennant
honors in the junior major leagues
While there is a wide divergence of
opinion regarding the ultimate win
ner of the flag with its attendant
participation in the worlds series.
it is conceded that the battle for first
place will be fought out by the White
Sox and the Red Sox.
At the present time the margin
of advantage between the two teams
is so slight that the loss OF u game or
two while the other club is winning is
likely to cause a shifting of places
and the resultant strain will surely
be felt by both combinations if the
race continues with so slight a lee
way for another few weeks Under
| the circumstances it is not unexpect-
ed that the adherents of the rival
| teams should predict that the other
will be the one to break under the
| intensity of the daily effort to hold
| the pace.
| Inc situation is Delng considered
from every angle by the volunteer
boards of strategy with constant ref
erence to the skill and ability OF
pitching staffs, hitting. outfelds and
all the other form of argumentive
ammunition used in baseball tanning
| With due allowance for accidents
and other untoward possibilities, it
would appear that the two clubs are
comparatively evenly matched and
that the answer regarding the win
ner must be sought in the final days
Of the race.
AS the general characteristics of a
baseball club cling through severar
years, despite changes in the person
mel, a COMPARISON of the standing
of the Chicago and Boston teams in
the closing weeks of the season for
the past five years develops some in
teresting data upon which to base
forecasts.

AUTO MILEAGE
WORTH BILLIONS

The passenger car has developed
into a universal utility" says Harry
NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company. "As
such its economic influence is now
tremendous in a thoroughly practical
and constructive way.
"Some inkling of what the automo-
bile now means 10 US and the prac-
tical part it IS playing in our econo-
mic life is realized when il is learned
that greater pasSenger-mIle service
is rendered by the passenger motor
cars in the United States than by the
entire railroad or street railway sys-
TENS Of the country. The 100000
passenger cars averaging 5000 miles
a year and three persons each, give a
total Of s. ID billion miles. At a
rate Of two cents per mile this IS
worth $l,110.000,00O a year.
Everyone who reads the papers
and the magazines knows what a
/ tremendous factor motor cars have
been in the great war. Our own
country will lneed a huge motor
/ equipment for the work of the United
/ States Army abroad. Cars will not
| be commandeered for this purpose.
They will be manufactured and pur,
! chased. But in the event of he
/ forces of an alien enemy attacking
! this country in our own home terri
! tory it is estimated that our passen-
ger cars are equal to the transpor-
tation of at least 100000 men"

ACCESSORIES TO
SAVE AUTO TIRES

Usually the largest item of ex-
pense to the car owner, outside of
gasoline, is tires" comments H. G.
Palmer, Manager Auto Tire Depart
ment, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company" This is war time, and
people are being exhorted about the
elimination of waste and the preven-
tion of extravaganza on every side.
We are not for ecoonmy that
goes to the extent of scrimping, but
we do believe we have a timely war
message on the conservation of tires.
Anything that will give a tire
longer life, assist a tire to give more
mileage, reduce costs per mile, will
keep real, jingling dollars in the mo-
torist's pocket and will put off the
day when the purchase of a new tire
would otherwise be necessary.
Tire accessories make an ideal
and profitable investment at any
time, but right now they are especial
/ ly timely, economical and useful. For
( instance the insertion of an inside
I tire protector in a partly worn casing
often enables the tire to give thou
sands more miles of service Under
such circumstances everyone viii
readily admit that the small invest
ment involved has been mighty
profitable.
Consider the tire saver kit, which
is obtainable from Goodyear Service
stations and is just what the name

ANNOUNCE 1 PLAN
FOR PURCHASING
SUPPLIES FOR NAVY

Rear Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN,
paymaster general of the navy and
chief of the bureau of supplies and
accounts, has announced new plan
for the purchase of supplies for the
navy. The plan which he has evolved
after considerable study is explained
as follows:
In order that the purchase of sup
plies for the navy may be distribu-
ted throughout the United States in
a more far-reaching manner than
previously, a new plan has been
adopted by the bureau of Supplies
and Accounts through the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States of
America, by whose aid the needs of
the navy were brought to the atten-
ton of local manufacturers.
Letters to Commercial Bodies.
Letters were sent to the seCretar-
les of the commercial organizations
throughout the country. The list also
included about 40 national and state
trade associations, covering nealry
every line of business. The various
supplies required by the navy in
clude groceries, dry goods, equipment

clothing, lumber chemicals. drugs,
paints, steel, hardware and hundreds
of other items necessary for the eff
ficiency of the fleets and navy yards
and comfort of the officers and men
in the service, both on land and
water.
Patriotic Responses Received.
The trade associations have re-
sponded in a most patriotic manner,
One middle west chamber of COM

be offered by officials of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts to indus

needs of the navy.

enables the motorist to maintain
proper air pressures and to know at
all times just how much air his tires
contain. Right air pressure is real
tire insurance. Then there's tire
putty which heals wounds and keeps
out sand and dirt. which are active
tire destroyers. And so on through

saver kit, be sure you know how to
use its contents properly. Help your
