These committees will render every
possible assistance to the threshermen
in their county, paying particular at
tention to the problems involving the
repairing Of machines, securing OF
necessary mechanical help in co-Ope-
ration with the Department Of Labor,
securing sufficient supply OF fuel III
cooperation with the Fuel Admin
stration, and assistance in obtaining
sufficient needed repair parts and sup
plies to last threshermen thru the COM
ing season. The committee will also
take into consideration what help, II
any, can be extended threshermen and
farmers, SO that waste will be reduced
to a minimum during the harvesting
operations.
Threshermens Assistants.
To cooperate to the utmost with the
threshermen. the Thresher Division
has assembled corps of men who
are experts in repairing threshing ma
chimes and engines, and who will be
available in each state to cooperate
with the threshermen requiring expert
help. These men will be known as
threshermen's assistants and will be
subject to the call of the county thresh-
ing committees when needed.
The "threshermen's assistants" will
not act as Government officers, but
simply as friendly assistants to the
threshermen, their sole duty being to
assist in every way possible to bring
the machinery Of the state up to the
highest point of efficiency and thus to
help save the grain which is so badly
needed.
Besides this cooperative plan, there
will be additional cooperation by the
manufacturers of threshing machinery,
who have agreed to send out their
service men and to render every posi-
BILE assistance to the owners and Ope-
rators of their machines.
Every machine should be operated
well within it's capacity and rush work
and wasteful methods must not be per-
mitted, as the value of the grain saved
by careful operation, if well within
the limits of their capacity, will many
times frequently Offset any saving of
time which might be effected by an un-
wise speeding up of the operation.
The threshermen of the state OF
Wisconsin have always been intensely
patriotic and the Food Administration
feels sure that they will Civ the
Administration their heartiest cooper.
alton in this movement.

YOUTH AT A DISADVANTAGE
Younger Men Are Ineffective In OBJ
tanning Credit as Well as In the
Control of Workmen.

Christian Girl, president Of the
Standard Parts company of Cleveland
o., says in the American Magazine:
when a man of noticeably youthful
appearance goes to a cautious banker
seeking to finance even the soundest
kind of proposition, his line Of argu-
ment is discounted before he says a
word, by his youthful looks. The
banker is afraid of being carried away
by mere bOyish enthusiasm and Is on
his guard. If I were much under thir-
ty-five and had tiptop business
scheme to finance. l would get an old
er man of established reliability and
conservatism to present it for me to
the bankers.
Youth is not always so good, either,
in the production end of a big bust
ness-handling a force Of men and
getting the work out of them. In the
first place, the man who is bossing the
job should have occupied all the lesser
Jobs between him and the bottom rung
of the ladder. This requires time.
And, furthermore, men do not like to
work under a boss who looks too much
like mere boy, no matter how smart
or capable or experienced he may |be.
1t isn't necessary that he be as old as
most of them, but he should be old
enough to give an impression of ma
turity The average workman doesn't
care much whether the boss is thirty
or forty, but it might make a differ
ence whether he is thirty or only
twenty"

BUILT BY ORDER OF CAR
City Of Hardin, Railway Center and
Military Depot, Has Also Become
Great Flour Center.

The city Of Hardin was built to or
der for the one-time car Of all the
Russias, who, in constructing the
Trans Siberian railway, found that he
needed the little village of Hardin as
q railway center and military depot
Only little diplomatic juggling was
required, and the village began to grow
up and expand before the puzzled eyes
Of its peaceful inhabitants. The new
Hardin did not absorb the old part,
but was built beside 1t, so that the
farmers still continue to raise their
millet and wheat untroubled by diplo-
macy and troop maneuvers.
There are few Chinese and almost
no foreigners In the city. Russia dis
cOurages alien immigration, and by
agreement with China, only Russians
and Chinese are allowed to hold land,
construct houses or have any perma-
nent business interests in Hardin.
Russian railroad officials and workers
and Russian colonists and troops are
the chief residents of the entire neigh
borhOod
Hardin is called the "f1at CITY," be-
cause of its position in the level val
ley of the Sungari river, with noun
tains protecting it on east and west.
It is the -four center Of the East. The
fields are covered with grain, and down
on the Sungari river front Manchu
coolies load endless junks with flour
ground in the modern mills of the
city.

fHRESHERMEN ARE ASKED TO CO.
OPERATE WITH FOOD ADMINS RATION
A Special Threshing Committee to Be Organized in
Each Wheat Growing County in the State.

A project to mobilize Wisconsin
threshermen to save every possible
kernel of wheat raised on Wisconsin
farms is announced by the U. S. Food
Administration. To do this special
threshing division has been created as
part of the Federal Food Administers
ton with headquarters in the State
Capitol at Madison.
1t is freely admitted by the agricul,
turists, threshing machine men, ma
chine operators and others with init
mate knowledge of threshing opera
tons that there is a big waste In
threshing, variOusly estimated at from
one to ten per cent.
Waste in threshing depends largely
upon the condition of the machines as
they enter the harvest fields and the
care with which they are operated
While it is believed that the majority
of machines in this state operate salts
indicate that on an average one and
one-half bushels in every one hundred
threshed can be saved by having all
machines go into the harvest fields in
excellent repair with ample power and
by seeing that during harvesting they
are efficiently adjusted to meet varying
conditions
One bushel in every 100 threshed
can be saved by having all machines
in such repair that little or TO grain
leaks under and around them on the
ground and providing that what does
leak out in this manner and is other
wise scattered by the machine is
cleaned up and threshed before the
thresher leaves the field.
Three-fourths of bushel in every
hundred threshed can be saved by
careful handling of bundles from the
shock to the machine or stack and by
arranging the bundle wagons so that
all grain that skaters in them shall
be caught in them and saved. Thus II
Is estimated that total of three and
one-fourth bushels in every hundred
threshed may be saved.
Committees to Control Work.
A special threshing committee will
be organized in each county composed
Of the County Food Administrator
County Agricultural Agent and a re
tired thresherman representing the
state or local Counsel of National De
fence. Each of these committees will
open county headquarters accessible
at all times to farmers and thresher
men.

YIELDS APPLE OF SODOM"
Curious Plant Which Grows on the
Borders Of the Dead Sea Pro-
duces This Fruit.

The Dead sea is situated I'm the
southeast part Of Palestine, and is
cslled by the Arabs Bahr Loot, or Sea
of Lot. 1t is about Al miles long, with
an average breadth of nine miles. Its
depth varies considerably. It is fed
by the Jordan from the north, and by
many other streams, but has no ap-
parent outlet, its superfluOus water be-
ing supposed to be entirely carried off
by the evaporation. The north
shores of the sea are marked by the
blackened trunks and branches Of
trees which are incrusted with salt, as
is everything that is exposed to the
spray of this sea.
On the southern shore is the remark
able mass of rock called Udsum (Sod-
om). 1t is narrow, rugged ridge Of
hill extending five miles northwest,
and consisting of rock salt To the
north Of UdSum, and at no great dis
lance, is the supposed site of the an
cient Sodom
On the borders of the Dead sea
curious plant grows which yields fruit
called the apple Of Sodom," beautiful
on the outside but bitter to the taste,
and, when mature, filed with fiber and
dust.
The mean level of the Dead sea is
1892 feet below the level of the Medi.
terranean. The water contains from
"A to 26 per cent Of salts, of which 7
per cent is common salt. A saltwater
fish put into the Dead sea perishes at
once. Owing to its density due to
salt the Water of the sea is very buoy

How Firms Keep Warm.

In many ways the Films are very
queer people, as Is illustrated by the
Christian Herald.
1t is during the terribly cold months
that the Films revel in the mighty
ovens that fill one corner Of every
kitchen and often loom up large and
vastly impressive in the other rooms
Of Finn home as well. The tops of
these monster stoves are perfectly fiat,
and steps lead up on one side.
When the weather becomes bitterly
cold and bleak, the entire family will
take quilts and pillows and, mounting
to the top of the big heater, spread
down their bedding and sleep very
comfortably and contentedly on the
hard, hot bricks until morning.
