Gasoline Explosions.

Cadillac engineers have found that in
travelling distance of fiften miles, there
are approximately l5i.20O explosions.
Hence on the basis of consuming one
gallon OF fuel in that distance, the gallon
is divided up into about 151,2c0 parts, or
each about the seven-milionth part Of a
gallon.
But this little drop does a giants work
in propelling the car. The very diminu-
tive size of the sphere of gasoline re-
quired for a single explosion enables one
to appreciate the work of the carburetor.
and the importance of facility for perfect
adjustment. II the gasoline which goes
into each cylinder should be the one-mil-
lionth part OF gallon less than the tiny
drop required by a certain set of condi-
tions, the mixture would be about Is per
cent too lean; II 1t were larger by the
same amount, the mixture would be to
an equal per cent too rich, yet in the

KANSAS HoNoRs FUNSTON
State Business Suspended While Eu
logies Are Pronounced in Rep
resentative Hall at Topeka.

In an impressive memorial service,
Kansas has paid its tribute to the late
Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston. AS the
body of the general was being laid to
rest in San Francisco, Representative
hall at the Kansas capitol was crowd
ed with Kansans gathered to do honor
to his memory
Both branches of the legislature
suspended business and attended the
ceremonies in a body, The principal
speakers were Charles S. Gleed of To
peka and Charles F. Scott of lola, both
of whom were among General Fun
ston's most intimate friends Governor
Arthur Capper presided. Mrs. George
Parkhurst sang Tennyson's Crossing
the Bar" At the close of the meeting
Battery A of the Kansas national
guard fired the major generals salute
of thirteen guns.
Mr.. Gleed, who was a regent of the
state university when Funston was a
student there, recounted the life work
of the general. 1t was Mr.. G1eed who
gave him the money with which to go
to Cuba to participate in the insurrec
rection, and who two years later
helped to carry Funston from ship
in New York harbor to an ambulance,
after Funston had escaped from an
island where he took part in twenty
two battles.
And it is WE'LL said Mr.. Gleed in
closing, that he should rest beside
the Golden Gate, through which he
passed unknown and returned recog-
nized world hero
Charles F. Scott spoke of General
Funston the greatest and best
loved military leader the United
States has produced since the Civil
War" He portrayed eloquently the
famous generals life, his valor and
deeds.

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking. gave him
S5 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
So bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave Z, 2S6 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of L Northern at
S1-56 per bushel, gave him $2,563.OS.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.O0. Allow
ing share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-Section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. n. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter
section of improved land at $500 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: ''Ten them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man. Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit Of
| inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
! for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sec, ions, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
| fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
| in Acknowledgement.

WRITERS BEHIND THE TIMES
Complaint Made That They Have
Taken No Cognizance of Changes
Occurring in Dialects.

When Joseph Vance. of whom De
Morgan wrote a book, was a boy in
London, the local dialect was like
this:
Hes a-goin' for to fight Mr.. Gum
beyont the Pinnerforty works, and you
better look sharp if you want for to
see anythink-'
Vance went away to South Amer
lea and returned after many years to
find the jargon altered TO this pat
tern:
1T (the noise) was a Idly with
biby fighting another Idly and both
was took off to the Stytion.''
All American dialects have changed
in 90 years as that of London did,
with the possible exception of the
tongue spoken in the southern Appa-
lachian country. Yet, to judge by
American comic papers and the gen.
tlemen of the stage, our dialects are
as immutable as the stars They
change no more than the faces of
great cliffs
Why would it not be a good idea
to appoint a committee to wait on
editors of humorous periodicals and
the writer's of plays and point out TO
them politely that they speak the Ian
guage of people long in their graves
and superseded Toledo Blade.

new Prohibition Measure Print
ed Officially in First Edition
of State Paper.
WILL STAND IN THE COURTS
ATTORNEY General Brewster Confident
Statute Will be Signed in Joint
Session.

eka-Arrangements were made
by state officials to have the new
Bone Dry bill printed in the first
edition of the official state paper and
it became a law Immediately.
The bill is considered one of the
most drastic prohibition measures en-
acted into law by any state and tenn
perance leaders are confident that
Kansas will be as free from the liquor
traffic as it can be made through the
agencies of the state government.
S. M. Brewster. attorney general
stated that he believed the new law
to be within the scope of the Webb
Kenyon law and will stand the tests
of the courts.
Before joint session of the house
and senate, Governor Capper signed
the Bone Dry bill 1t was the first
time in the history of the state that
bill has been signed by governor
outside of his executive office. Fol
lowing the signing of the bill, the leg
islators joined in singing How Dry
/ Am"
mo act in my term as governor
has given me greater pleasure than
the signing of this BILL" said the gov
ernor, following a very brief intro
duction by Speaker Keene. Il be-
lieve 1 am about to sign the most i'm
portant enactment of this legislature
No measure before this legislature
has met with more general satisfac-
ton or more unanimous approval than
the passing of this law l believe
- this law will bring about more effect
i've enforcement of the Prohibitory
law and will come nearer cleaning out
the bootlegger and jointist than any
measure ever written
That is not all. There is another
satisfying phase. This bill seems to
have met the most general approval
from members of all parties and en-
phasizes the sentiment for prohibi-
ton in Kansas. regardless of party
or creed"
