SOFT COAL DANGEROUS
Eldridge Issues Bulletin Telling How
to Prevent Spontaneous Combustion.

Charles Z. Eldridge, manager of the
Kansas Inspection and Fire Proven
ton office, has issued a bulletin on
The storage of soft coal and a flyer
on the care OF matches.
Every year numbers of fires are re-
ported, due to spontaneous ignition OF
piles of soft coal, and this year there
are more fires from that cause than
usual, on account of the unsettled
business conditions and fear of short
age and higher prices. Points to be
observed by those storing soft coal are
these:
Stored soft coal should be kept as
far as possible from the main build
ings of the plant; in no case piled up
against a frame building. If outside
space will permit, piles should be
made not higher than twelve feet, and
d large rather than small area used
If wet coal is received it should be
spread around the edges of the pile
where it will be open to the air. If
large amounts are stored it would be
well to insert wrought iron pipes. two
or three inches IN diameter into the
piles as they are built: lower ends Of
the pipes to be at different heights
from the ground turnout the pile.
Three-inch pipes to every 400 square
feet should be sufficient. The pipes
should be perforated. A thermometer
should be lowered into them to get
temperatures in the center of the pile.
Used matches should be kept IN
metal receptacles, and SO should the
ordinary parlor matches. The depart
ment recommends the safety match
rather tilan the parlor match.

Coffeyville, Kan, Jan. 29.-Walter
Johnson, pitcher for the Washington
American league club, narrowly es-
capped death from drowning a few
days ago. it was reported here.
Johnson, who makes his winter

FACE REAL TEST
IchabOds Play Four Games in a
Row on Road This Week.
h. L. and the Aggies to Play
Two Games at Manhattan.

BY the end of this week Kansas
conference basketball followers will
have a pretty good idea of what kind
of a figure the Washburn team is to
cut in the title race. To date the
1chabods have not lost a game to
conference opponent, but this week
they play four games away from home
and will be put to a more severe test
than they have yet undergone.
The first game of the week for the
Ichabo will be with Doctor Weede's
Cooper quintet at Sterling Wednes-
day Following this the Ichabods will
play Bethany. Salina Wesleyan and
Mcpherson all in a row. Mcpherson
Is the most dreaded of all these teams.
ms is partly because Mcpherson has
one of the best teams in the confer
ence and partly because the Washburn
men VIII be pretty we'll worn down by
the time they clash.
Games of the Week.
Among the Kansas conference
games of Importance that are sched-
uled for this week are: Pittsburg
normal against Emporia normal. at
Emporla, Friday; Paramount against
Bethany, at Lindsborg. Monday and
tuesday; Emporia normal against
Bethany, at Emporia, Wednesday;
Baker against Emporia normal. at

against Hays normal. at Hays, Thurs
day and Friday; Emporia normal
against Ottawa, at Ottawa Thursday:
Paramount against Mcpherson. at Nc
Pherson, Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday the X. L. and
Aggie teams will again meet. this time
at Manhattan, and the Farmer five is
making elaborate preparations to get
revenge for the double defeat suf-
fered at the hands of the Jayhawkers
at Lawrence last week. The Aggies
have one of the only two regulation
courts in Kansas and the fact that it
is larger than the one used by X L. is
counted upon to handicap the JAY
hawkers. But X. u. supporters be

Edison's Time Card.

Mr.. Edison, the inventor of the in
candescent electric lamp has defined
genius as 2 per cent inspiration and
% per cent perspiration. In his own
working rooms in New Jersey, Mr..
Edison punches time card each
day when he comes and goes, just
as any other employee, and his time
card is the best evidence of his be-
lief in his definition.
A study Of one of Mr.. Edison's
time card is interesting. This, his
time card Of the week ending Aug
ust 27th,. shows that on Wednesday
Mr.. Edison did not come in at all in
the morning, for he was already in,
having worked all night. He left
at 8:16 in the morning and returned
SIX hours later punching in at
2:2O. Again he worked all night,
leaving the following morning at
Sill after an 18-hours stretch of
work. Thus he labored night after
night and at the end of the week
the punching shows a total of 95
hours and 40 minutes to his credit.
This time card was selected at ran
dom and does not differ much from
the time card found in the rack un-
der Mr.. Edison's name at the end OF
almost any week.

Judge Andrew Grindeland Of this
city has rendered decision in an
election contest case in case that
involves violation Of the corrupt
practices law, and which will give
the incoming legislature a new pro-
position to tackle. J. J. Flikkie, of
Shelly, and A. L. Thompson, of
Mahnomen, We're opposing candidates
for the legislature in the Norman
Mahnomen district Flikkie received
more votes than Thompson, but
Thompson alleged that Flikke VIC
lated the law by circulating defam-
atory statements about him, and the
court upholds Thompson's:: co;nten;-
tons. Thompson will go before the
house elections committee with a
court decree holding that Flikkie,
altho he unquestionably received a
majority of the votes, nevertheless
has forfeited his seat by violating
the law, and that Thompson is en-
titled to the seat, altho he received
less votes than his rival. The legis-
lature which is the sole Judge of the
qualification of it's members, must
now make it's decision. The case is
the first Of it's kind on record and
will make an important precedent.

The Sheaf has now entered upon
the 37th year of it's existence as a
newspaper. It was founded by A.
Dewey, a relative of the famous Ad-
nairal Dewey, in December 1880.
During the next year or two the
paper changed owners one or more
times. When the present editor ar
rived in the little village of Warren
in the fall of 1882, gentleman
named Pierce was the publisher and
he was succeeded a little later by
w. R. Edwards, who piloted the
paper thru several years. Mr.. Ed
wards sold the paper in the winter
of 1886 to Andrew jackson Clark,
better known now as the father of
the publisher of Jim Jam Jems.
Edwards and Clark have both long
since passed to the great beyond and
we know not whether any of the
other previously mentioned are still
alive and furnishing copy to the
printer. The present editor and H.
e. Mussey, now the publisher Of the
Grygla Eagle, in this county, acquir-
ed the paper from Mr.. Clark in the
fall Of 1886, continuing the partner
ship until 1888 when Mr.. Mussey be-
came sole proprietor. In 1890 the
present editor and owner acquired
the paper and has since remained at
the helm except one year, (1904),
when the paper was leased to Gilbert
Bede. We have therefore been en-
gagged actively in editorial work on
this paper 81 whole years, and in
terested in the paper for 80 years.
That is long time in the span of
a human life. 1t is needless to say
that during this time we have had
many pleasant as we'll as bitter ex-
periences. Yet on the whole we
have enjoyed the work. And we are
thankful to-day that our health and
strength has been preserved so that
we are still able to labor and to
wait. Wesstill have the ambition. to
make the sSheaf a better paper dur
ing 1917 than it has been in any
previous years. With the co-opera-
ton of our subscribers, patrons and
friends, we hope to accomplish this.
We cannot close this brief and in
complete writeup without extending
our most sincere thanks to all the
business men Of Warren, and Of
Marshall county and to all our read
ers both near and far, for their val
ued patronage and support.
May the people Of our beloved
city, county and state live long and
prosper and finally be gathered in as
Golden Sheaves, that is the wish Of
the editor of the Sheaf.

| .Aasteful Method Of Handling Manure.
feeds brought into the state more than
covers that in agricultural products
sold by Wisconsin farmers.
Enormous Waste Of Manure.
The United States department of ag-
riculture- estimated the number of cat
tie in the United States on January 1,
1910, at 70,000,00O; sheep, 57,216,OOO;
swine, 47,7S2,000. If we assume that
Ten sheep or hogs are equivalent to
one COW or steer in manure production,
we shall have total of over S0,O0O,-
900 cattle. They are no doubt equiya-
tent to 60,O0O,O00 l,OOO-pound cattle. If
these are yarded four months each
winter, there should be total manure
production during that period of 15O,-
100000 tons, having a crop-producing
value of at least $500, 100000 above all
cost of handling. It is very conserva-
tive estimate to place the waste of
this manure under the present system
Of handling at 25 per cent, or $780,
100000 annually 1t is no doubt twice
that amount.
Manure is lost by weathering, leach
Ing, heating, rotting, by piling in heaps
in the field and letting stand before
spreading. If you cannot spread it
soon after it is produced, store it in
pit or manure she'd
OF all the ways in which manure is
handled, piling it in heaps in the field
Is the most Gasteful. 1t is worse than
leaving it under the barn caves and
letting it leach out there, because Of
the waste of labor involved in hauling
it to the field to be thrown away.
The overgroWth Of lodged and half
filled grain over such spots ought to
be sufficient to convince any man of
the mistake of such method: vet
there are thousands of farmers who
are still piling manure in the fields.
I'D. Value of Liquid Manure.
A greater portion of the fertilizing
value Of the manure is found in the
liquid portion. The full effect of
Eeither the solid nor the LIQUID portion
tan be obtained except when used in
connection with the other. If the
liquid is permitted to flow away or
become leached out by rain and sepa-
rated from the solid portion, whether
IN yard or field it carries With it the
rant food. The only right way to
handle manure is to collect the Eqai,
by abundant absorbents as straw, Get
&c promptly to the field, spread it there
at once and let sunshine and rain tlo
tllcir work. The sunshine will evap-
crate the water and the rain which fol-
lows will dissolve the salts and wash
them into the. soil where they are
needed. $50 sss
