in the county These additional outfits will help
! to take care Of the increased acreage of small
grain.
Three men are usually required to operate
machine at cost of approximately $500 per
day for labor.
The daily expense Of operation, including all
charges and based ON 80 day run, was estimat-
ed at about $4,000 per day and $50 profit added
thereto.
1t was the consensus of opinion of both thresh-
ermen and farmer that the losses Of grain in
Lake County due to careless operation are not
serious, except at times. These losses may be
due to the condition Of the machine and it's op-
Grafton, the condition Of the grain and the meth
DDS used by local farmers in pitching grain into
the self feeders. With well adjusted machine,
thoroughly dry grain, pitched into the self feed
er steadily and uniformly heads first, there
should be but little loss of grain at threshing
l. ALI machines should be gone over and put
into first class condition for threshing before
the season opens.
g. Every machine in the county will be in
spected while in operation so every operator
was urged to have his equipment in first class
condition.
g. Two canvass covers should be furnished
by the machine operator, one for the front un-
der the feeder and one to be used under the
grain spout and elevator.
4. All grain and straw should be dry when
threshed.
s. A large placard with instructions for
pitching bundles into the machine should be
placed on each side of the feeder. These cards
are furnished to operators
6. The feeder should be fed properly -
bundles pitched in heads first and straight
the self feeder not overloaded or allowed to run
idle
Z. Because of usual shrinkages, it was voted
to allow the farmer four pounds per bushel
more than the standard weights Of grain
8. Some men wanted minimum charge of
$1,000 for threshing small lots but compromise
price of $500 was finally agreed upon
g. The county prices for threshing grain
were agreed upon as follows: 3715 cents per
bushel for oats, 4112 cents per bushel for barley
and cents for wheat and rye.
10. All machines in the county will operate
on this schedule, which will not be altered ex
cept in case of crops damaged by hail Or for
some other reason.
IL. All machine owners are members of the
Food Administration and responsible to the
Government for efficient work
IL. Every thresherman is required to report
to Food Administrator Gridley, the names of all
men threshed for and the number of bushels Of
each kind Of grain threshed
IL. 1t anyone refuses to cooperate in saving
grain, the matter should be reported at once
and will be dealt with accordingly.
Ia. Farmers are urged to cut down the use
of beef, wheat bread and sugar in dinners and
put their meals on a war basis

How to Make a Service FLAG.

: Perhaps it is due to the familiar pic
ture of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
lean flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two Of his
friends looking on that gives us such
bias to the handmade flag, but never
theless, sentiment attaches to it that
belongs to no machine-made produc-
ton. Very properly, we should feel
about our service flag in this way. An
12x12-inch service flag may be made
from one and q third yards of four-inch
wide red ribbon, ten inches of white
ribbon and enough blue to form the
stars to which you are entitled. Cut
the red ribbon into four pieces, two Of
IS inches length and the other two so
that they finish off four and half
inches, allowing for seams. Sew these
strips together, inserting the white
piece for the field. Then applique
blue star, or embroider it, according to
desire. The white field will be varied
In size In accordance with the NUM-
Der Of stars used.

pie, / think, know that when q person

tains the sense" or feeling, Of the
missing limb. As. a case in point, /
might mention that a friend Of mine,
who had lost a leg in the war, In an
minimizing moment took a step on the

self had the misfortune to lose my left
hand on the Messines ridge last June,
and all the pain I have suffered from

part Of all is that on alternate days
the fingers Of the missing hand open
and close; that is to say, yesterday
they were closed ). today they are open.
Tomorrow they will be closed again.

twice, on restless nights, have actu-

they are exactly in the same position
as If they were still grasping the re-

why should they open on alternate

after I was wounded was, amputated
exactly twenty-four hours later. Also,

o'clock in the morning, and was oper-'

tor Calder, of New York, Republican,
declared in letter to Chairman Hur-

ports he had heard that less than
thirty of the ninety or one hundred
wooden ships delivered by builders
have carried cargoes.
Senator Calder said in his letter he
understood that none of the wooden
ships delivered have gone overseas yet,
and that about 140 wooden ships under
contract have not yet been started.
Chairman Hurley was urged by the
Senator to prevent construction of
wooden ships on which construction
has not yet started.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, also has
asked the Shipping Board for full in
formation on its operations.

LONDON, Nov. 81. - Those expect
ing early and rapid disqualification of
the British army received a setback
to-day following the announcement
from the War Office that the military
situation did not admit the commence
ment of rehabilitation, but the gov
ernment seized the delay to concen-
trate the attention of the public on
the problems resulting from the return
of several million men to civil life.
The War Cabinet appointed special
committee, headed by General SHUTS,
to consider reconstruction problems,
and especially those concerning re-
construction of the Munition minis
tries. The Ministry of Labor eased the
minds of both the soldiers and the
workmen by the prompt announcement
of forthcoming unemployment pay
amounting to SO for men and $5 for
women weekly, which, combined with
allowances for dependents, makes up
an amount about equal to the amount
now payable to the soldiers families.
