POOL ALL RESOURCES
One Industrial Dictator for All the
Nations Against Germany.

Washington, June 1o.-A plan for
pooling all the resources of the United
States and its co-belligerents into one
vast economic and war machine, or
which government officials and allied
representatives are working, will be
submitted soon to President Wilson.
The proposal under conside era tion for
some time, is in the hands of Chair
man Baruch of the war industries
board, who has gone over it with
other government officers and men,
bers of the allied missions here. AS
outlined. it contemplates making the
industries board virtually industrial
dictator of the nations association in
the war against the central powers.
Need for greater coordination of
industrial effort. similar to the unit
ing of the military commanders under
General Foch has been stressed by
officials both in the United States and
IN Europe. One purpose would be to
line up the financial needs of tte al
lies better and another would be to
eliminate duplication of manufactur.
ing efforts.

around the court house today tha
men in addition to the six already ar.

vicious one, providing a heavy peni-
| tentiary sentence.
| The Ebberts girl has been placed
under the care of Mrs. w. D. Bundy

KANSAS STARTS TNOT IN C0MPACTT. R. is NOT we'll
Move To Save Wheat Wasted by
Threshers Began Here.
Dean johnson Found Threshers
Lost 2,5O0,O00 Blu. a Year.

Wichita, Kan, June 16.-The move
ment which is on in every wheat
growing county in the United States
to save 20,0O0,000 bushels ordinarily
wasted by carelessness in harvesting
and threshing, was started last sum-
mer when August .Hauser of Kiowa
Refreshed a straw stack on his place
and got 131 bushels of wheat worth
40 acres aand the extra grain was
run into the stack by careless crew.
Cleaners Made Big Money.
Dean E. C. johnson of Kansas State
Agricultural college, heard of the in
cident and compiled all similar Incl
dents through the county farm agents
and other sources. He found a case
in Pawnee county where one man fol-
lowed a careless crew with a hand
tanning mill and that man made $500
in eighteen days saving wheat careless
men wasted. In Smith county a
farmer famed fifty bushels in less
than two days from the place where
the machine had stood.
Kansas Loses 2,500,000 Bushels.
Dean Johnson's estimates show the
loss in Kansas Is at least 2,520,0 900
bushels per annum. He recommends
that all back swaths be cut, that tight
header boxes and racks be used in
hauling grain, that threshing ma
chimes be in good order before they
enter the field. and that care be taken
in threshing by the crews.
Investigations of Dean johnson in
Kansas and similar investigations in
other states resulted in the formation
of the threshing division by the food
administration, which is organizing
every county in Kansas in food con-
servation thru wheat saving.
