CUT IT 10 Per CENT
Kansas Bakers Would Reduce
Flour Substitutes.
Loyalty and Business Meeting
of Bakers Here.

The prospects of combining new
wheat with the substitute flours Will
lead to a request of the federal food
administration by the Kansas master
bakers for a reduction in the amount
of wheat substitutes from 25 per cent
to 5 per cent, it was revealed at their
meeting Tuesday in the auditorium.
The bakers declare it is hard
enough to make bread out of new
wheat at any time, but to combine Il
with the substitutes now prescribed
brings the most unhappy results They
will be satisfied, they say. If the ban
be lifted for few weeks until the
wheat 'sweats."
M A. Clarkson, representing Wal
ter P. Innes, of Wichita, federal fooo
director, commended tie bakers for
their patriotism in complying with
the food regulations and declared II
to be of vital Importance that the full
est cooperation between the bakers
and the food administrators be estab-
lished. About 40 per cent OF the
wheat used in this country is made
into bread by the bakers, he said.
Plans are said to be on foot to
establish a school of baking where
young men and women can learn the
bakery business and to maintain this
school it was suggested that the
bakers thruout the country buy lib
erty bonds during the fourth liberty
loan next October and give the in
terest to the institute. More than loo
proprietors of bake shops in Kansas
were in attendance at the meeting.

In the group of articles sent is con-
tanned also a brass vase of exquisite
workmanship. Among the French SOL
diers there are, of course, many highly
trained craftsmen and artists, as there
are among the fighters of all the ar
mics. Many of these men employ
their time, when they are not other
wise occupied, in making souvenirs to
sell to fellow soldiers who are able to
buy them, and especially to their for
eign allies. The vase was fashioned
by one of these skilled soldiers from
the brass taken from a cartridge case
in which ammunition for one of the
famous French ISIS had been kept. 1t
is beautiful piece Of repousse, or
hammered brass.
A tiny aeroplane model was shipped
with the other articles. The body of

were made from American cartridges.

Il decided to adopt the name REM

branch of my mothers family, prin-
cipally because it does not REQUIRE
quite SO radical change in the style
OF my name as would have been the
case II had taken my mothers
maiden name.

NO MORTGAGE ON IT
Farmers Cannot Solicit Aid on Crops
Not Planted.

Federal or state aid for farmers in
planting their new wheat crop will be
a difficult matter, according to S. NJ.
Brewster, attorney general. In a let
ter to j. c. Mohler, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, General
Brewster holds that a farmer cannot
give valid mortgage on a wheat crop
which has not been sown at the time
the Dapers are signed.
The Brewster letter states that relief
might be had by a mortgage cover
ing the seed wheat itself. But the
question of a mortgage on a crop
which has not been planted is quite
doubtful n the mind of the attorney
general. In his letter to Secretary
MohIer he urges that If the plan of
providing seed is adopted and security
taken on the next years crop, that
precaution be exercised in handling of
securities

MAY TEST THEIR WHEAT
Food Administration Rules Farmer
May Judge Threshing.

Wichita, Kan, July IA rule by
which any farmer can test the work
of threshing machines to see if wheat
is being run into the straw was adopt
ed by the food administration today.
The test is made by directing the
straw blower against a wagon sheet
while two and a half bushels of grain
are run in the wagon. If Y pints
of wheat are run into the straw the
loss is 1 per cent. If a gallon is put
in the straw the loss is 10 per cent.
Capt Kenneth D. Hequembourg,
chief of the threshing division for the
food administration, was in Wichita
when the tests were worked out and
he made the rule national. and wired
to all wheat states for an adoption of
the Kansas rule. Following is his
message
Make blanket test on separator
operations by having spout of ma
chine deposit straw, etc. on wagon
sheet during the time the weighing
and a half bushels If over one pint
o. wheat is winnowed from straw on
canvas. bad work is indicated: II over
three pints is found a reasonable time
should be given to correct the b2l
operation and second test should be
made. If remarkable improvement is
not indicated steps should be taken
Tense and food administrator to dis
continue operations until the avoid
able waste is corrected

cedure and attitude of operators. and

DON'T FEEL RIGHT

If you wake up with bad taste, bad

ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling

before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone

sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-

the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and

quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste

is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on

who are usually constipated, bilious,

before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR TRACTOR OWNERS
International Harvester Company Will
Hold Tractor Schools

OF all the machines farmer owns
none is more important than his trac-
tor. Especially is this true this year.
Tractors must be in condition to work
day and night if necessary to make
possible the increased production of
food we need. There must be no de-
lays due to unsatisfactory operation
no loss from misunderstanding.
To this end the International Har
vester Company of America proposes to
hold tractor schools in various parts
of the country in order that their users
may get the best possible service out
of their tractors.
One of these schools will be held at
the Eagles hall at Marshfield, Wis,
Jan. 2Sth and Doth. The session will
open promptly at 300 a. III.
This school will be absolutely free
to all who care to attend, whether they
are tractor owners or not Nothing
will be offered for sale at these schools
and there will be no selling talks. A
course of instruction in how a tractor
works and how to keep it working will
be strictly adhered to.
The instructors are practical tractor
and engine men and the course is laid
out on large charts illustrated with
clear diagrams and described in sim
pie terms. 1t takes up the reasons
why an engine operates, what takes
place within the cylinder of an engine
symptoms that indicate approaching
trouble, how to look for trouble and
not overlook it. how to get the best
possible service from a tractor or en-
CINE new uses for tractors and many
men in this locality.
Those who attend the school will be
encouraged to ask questions on any
subject in connection with tractors and
engines. These questions will be an
swered at the end of each school ses-
sion. There will be demonstrations
with engines and tractors themselves.
To be sure that everyone who at
tends the school carries home with him
every point brought out there, a book
containing all subjects discussed at the
school will be given to every man. Ev-
cry farmer who owns a tractor or en-
CINE should attend this school but,
more important still, he should bring
with him the man who operates his
tractor. Plan now to be present at
every session of the school, for the
men who do this will get the greatest
benefit out of it.
Don't forget the date, and be sure
to be there
