A FARM PRoFiTAeLY TILED.
On this 80-aere field three systems Of
tile drainage were necessary. This
shows the advantage with which two
neiohbors can cooperate In putting
In q line Of tile. An obstacle %
trivial a. line fence should not be
permitted to prevent economical

when 1t Is intended to later introduce
an underdrainage system.
The individual farmer with small
means should first select the area the
tiling Of which will drain the most
land at the least expense. In rolling
country, where sufficient fall can be
had for outlets near the surface, or
without expensive open bitches. small
Tiles can be used around the sides Of
drainage areas outletting on hillside
or at the edge OF a slough. This
method often improves large tracts at
small cost. and as the improved lands
increase In productiveness. funds will
be supplied by which the tile lines
can be extended, connected. and the
expensive mains finally put In. This
method has been used In many of the
best tiled countries. In some instances
It has been twenty years from the lay
Ing Of the first laterals to the compile
ton Of the last main.
Immediately after construction, pro-
vision should be made for annual
maintenance. A drainage improve
ment, properly carried out and main
tained. will add Its initial cost to the
value Of the land and pay q dividend

FAIR TRAINING CAMP
Herbert G. Hoover Wants Course Com
Quoted at Topeka Carnival.

Herbert c. Hoover, national food
commissioner, has designated the
Kansas Free Fair as a food Training
Camp" and from September 10 to Is
visitors at the fair in Topeka will
learn all about the Hoover plan. He
is having prepared exhibits and a pro-
gram of lectures. The national coun-
ell of defense is also planning exhibits
and demonstration, in addition to the
army and navy departments.
The Food Training Camp will be
maintained at the Peoples Pavilion
at the fair grounds. The pavilion
will be conducted under the direction
of the Kansas council of defense and
in direct charge of DR.. Henry ]. Wa
tiers, president of the State Agricul-
tural college.
Food training camps will be
established here and there over the
country by Mr.. Hoover for the pur-
pose of instructing the people in food
preparation and food conservation.
Topeka is particularly fortunate in
obtaining such designation for the big
free fair when there will be thousands
of visitors here from all parts of the
state.

OvERWORK IRON CROSS
s,249, 900 Awarded by Kaiser During War
Its Value DECEASED.

Copenhagen, Aug. 3-That 100000 iron
crosses of the second class and $4,000 of
the first class have been awarded during
the war is shown by announcements pub
lished in Berlin which have been received
here. OF this number $500 were conferred
upon individuals behind the 'front.' but
it is certain that the number of persons
been under fire is even larger. The CLASH
fication behind the 'front.' probably ap-
plies only to non-combatants engaged in
war service, and not to individuals, like
Won Jagow and other civilians. who from
time to time have been stationed at the
main headquarters.
A horde of wearers of the iron cross
have been simply employed at the head
quarters and by the staff; never smelling
repulse of a long distance airplane raid.
As an example of the lavishness with
which the crosses are handed out cor
respondent of the Associated Press was
present at a luncheon party of eight at
the main headquarters In 1915, where the
seven Germans present all had been dec
grated and not a single one of them had
ever been under fire.
Swivel Chair Heroes.
During the Franco-Prussian war about
one in every twenty participants was given
an iron cross, and except in the case of
high military commanders and sons of
tional bravery on the field.
The value of the iron cross now has
become so debased, because of the vast
quantities granted and the number of
swivel chair heroes who have thru their
influence received them, that the estab-
lishment of a new order for yalor Is being
talked of.

TAX PLAN FAULTY
1857 Automobiles in the State
Not Assessed.
Average Valuation of Kansan's
Car Only $301g

The Kansas system of listing per-
sonal property for taxation is beauti-
full in theory. Applied to actual opera
ton, it shows a few faults. The tax
assessors who look for gold watches,
diamond rings, bank accounts and
stray cows and mortgages and bonds,
walked right by 1857 automobiles
this year without batting an eye lash.
In other words, they missed one
seventh of all the registered cars in
the state March 1.
Not only were the assessors blind
and near sighted when looking for
automobiles, they displayed a wonder
full charity. kindness and mercy to the
owner of chug wagons. Records COM
piled today by the state tax commits
sion show that the assessors found
10S.7S2 of the 126,739 automobiles
registered in the state n use March 1.
Assembling the big, fancy high pow
cred passenger cars and the collection
of little Henrys, the assessors put a
general statewide valuation of
trifle less than 1901 on each car.
May Be Other Things.
State records today showed that the
diligence of the county assessors failed
to bring all of the states assessable
property to light. Forgetting for the
moment the valuations which the as

benzine buggies. There is no method
whereby the state commission can
check the assessors search for wheat
in the farmers bins or the mortgages
which the broker forgot to list But
the automobile record is quite clear
and plain.
Looking the matter squarely in the
face, the assessors overlooked an
average of III automobiles in each of
the los counties of Kansas. OF
course, the actual record in some of
the counties will probably be much
less. In some of the counties it will
be far, far in excess of the number
listed.
Valuations Low.
When the state tax commission
compiled the work of the local asses
| sors, it found they had listed exactly
108,7S2 automobiles for taxation.
Every car owned in Kansas March 1
was subject to taxation. Against the
record of 10S,782 automobiles on the
assessor ent rolls is a record of 1871
carrying state registration tags on
that date.
The valuation placed on all of the
10S,782 cars listed for taxation is
$32,721,213. Use your lead pencil for
a minute and you will find that the
average valuation placed on these
automobiles is a few pennies less than
1901.

COMMON CLEANING AGENTS

Such common materials as ashes and
brick dust should not be overlooked
for securing purposes. They are used
much the same as commercial prepara-
tions and serve the purpose quite as
well. The best way to use securing
agents is to dip. large cork in water,
then in the ashes or brick dust and
scour the utensil with the cork. Much
better results are obtained than in
using cloth. Even soil can be used
in this manner and nothing shines up
a knife so quickly as to dig few
dandclions with it.
These are old fashioned methods, but
are well to remember when we are
looking for the most inexpensive ways

During much of the time he has

that institution. His plans, now that
he has been granted his liberty, have
not been revealed to his friends here.
Orson Adams, who was well known
in Glenwood and throughout the west

an exceptional business man and
promoter and booster who appealed to
the people and made friends wherever
he went. He had great faith in the
western slope country and organized
and financed several business enter

ance to his home county. A great
many people had unbounded faith in
his business judgment and his ability
to win on any business undertaking
and so great was the confidence of the
people in him and the enterprise for
which he stood sponsor that he was
sometimes termed the "Father of the
Grand valley.'
But he was too kindly of heart for
lis own good, and this fact and the
inevitable collapse following an over
worked land boom in the Grand valley,
in addition to the convivial habits he
had acquired in very strenuous life,
operated to his undoing. Mr.. Adams
has many friends in this county, who
while in no way condoning the conduct
for which he has suffered, believe that
his penalty has been severe enough and
rejoice in his release. i
