Elevated A PONY
Quentin Rooseveit's Expedient te
Help Brother Archie.

Washington, July IA IA
vorite OF Quentin was a beauti-
full little pony which had been given
to Archie, his older brother. Once
when Archie was i'll, Quentin became
possessed of the idea that his brothers
recovery depended on seeing the pony.
Wherefore he managed to get the lit
tie animal into the private elevator in
the White House and took him to the
bed room on the upper floor where
the sick boy lay.
Carried Hive of Bees on Car.
One Of the family friends told today
of the scene in Washington street
car caused by the discovery that
young Quentin was present on his way
to the White House with hive full of
very active honey bees. A pet snake
was one of the lads favorite possess
sions, and it was said that he had more
than once created panic in his school
by producing this reptile. which he
had concealed in his clothing.
Quentin was public school boy, his
father believing that was the true
school of democracy. His schoolmates
recall one day when the teacher was
asking the class to state the occupa-
ton of their fathers and at Quentin's
turn he nonchalantly replied:

Threshermen in Shawnee
County Are Not Watchful.
Neglect To Follow Out Orders
Food Administration.
MUST KEEP EYE ON FARMERS
Warned To See That All Con.
servation Methods Observed.
County Farm Agent Sends
Word of AdmonitiOn to Men.

The fifty-five threshermen now
operating in Shawnee county are not
living up to their pledges to the fed
eral food administration in regard to
the efforts expended to conserve the
precious golden wheat grains. accord
ing to a statement issued by A. D.
Folker, county farm agent, at the
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon.
Folker says that he has been check
ing up on the threshing outfits for the
last week or two, and that he today
su omitted his report to j. NJ. Benefiel.
grain threshing assistant with the
grain threshing division of the food
administration. Folker stated today
that Benefiel instructed him to urge
all threshers now operating in the
county to carefully follow out the rules
for the conservation of the wheat.
Waste Too Much.
Folker said today that one of the
greatest faults he had to find with
the threshermen is that they are not
making use of the authority delegated
them by the food administration in
forcing farmers to live up to the proper
methods to prevent waste of the grain
in the fields and on the way to the
bins and elevators.
| Folker says that the threshermen
| are as much a part of the enforce
ment division OF the 1000 admlnistrd-
ton as Is Hoover himself, and he is
urging the threshermen to use this
| authority where the farmers them
| selves fail to observe proper conserva-
4 ton methods.
Essential Points.
These things especially Folker en-
] phasized as vital essentials in the con-
servation program for threshermen:
See that the grain wagons which
take the grain from separator to ele-
vator are tight and do not leak grain
in transit.
Insist that every field harvested BIZ
| raked before the outfit pulls out.
/ "See that ca vases are spread un'
der the separator grain spouts SO thai
grain leaking here can be caught ant
/ saved.
/ "See that the pitchers put thu
sheaves of grain into the separator
head end foremost.
DO not move threshing outfits Ions
distances. Clean up the fields a.
you go.
"Thresh wheat in bottom land first.
Folker says that If these rules arr
carefully and conscientiously followed
out by the threshermen that upward
of 100, 900 bushels of wheat will b.
saved in Kansas during the 'harves
season.
