UNCOVER An l. ". W. PLOT
Secret Service Men Declare BoIshev.
Xxi and Irish Agitators Also In
VOWED in Big Revolt.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Evidence has
been uncovered by government agents
indicating that American Industrial
Workers of the World, Russian Boil
sheviki, Irish agitators and revolution
lists in various countries at war with
Germany may be seeking to lay the
foundation of an elaborate worldwide
plan to overthrow existing social order.
This was admitted today by officials
here in connection with news of the
discovery of guns and ammunition in
the Russian freighter Shilka, which
has just arrived at a Pacific port,
manned by a mutinOus BOlsheYiki
crew. The Shilka Incident is only one
of many cases leading officials to be-
lieve the connection between pIotters
in several of the allied countries may
be more tangible than the indefinite
link of moral sympathy.
Certain Irish agitators and 1. W. W.
leaders recently have gone from the
United States to Russia, after being
in close touch with each other here,
and reports have been received that
Bolsheviki organizers would come to
America before long to spread their
OOCtF1n6 OIL direct action IOF COulIAu-
nal organization.
No objection will be raised by the
government to any agitation which
| does not interfere with the progress
Of the war, officials declare. Officials
do not intend to use the war exigen-
cies as an excuse for suppressing free
| speech except insofar as it leads to
hampering the government in the fight
against the Central Powers.
This basis of judgment, however, is
recognized as broad, and will permit
drastic action against foreign agents
whose conduct directly or indirectly
! fosters Germany's war aims.
Action will be particularly swift, Of
ficials say, when armed resistance to
| the law is threatened and when other
material forces are employed by the
agitators. Customs inspection will
serve to prevent importation Of arms,
and the close supervision of crews Of
| incoming and outgoing vessels is ex-
| pected to make impossible the traffic
| of communications on a large scale
| intended to foster revolutionary ac-
| tivity.

HOW TO PREVENT ROAD DUST
Breaking Up of Ridges Formed When
Roadbed Is Wet From Standing
Water Causes Trouble.

Dust in the road is largely caused
by the breaking up OF the ridges
formed when the road bed is wet from
standing water. If the roadbed IS
kept well crowned and smooth water
Will run of The surface viii soften
up some in case of q long rain, but 4
will not be nearly so bad as when
there are ruts which hold the water.
The wheels of each passing vehicle
make the rut a little deeper. The
best way to keep the roadbed smooth
is to run over it with the road drag.
This should be done soon after IL
rains. The soil is then soft so ii can
be easily scraped of and dropped into
any depressicns. The harrow also
lays the soil down in layers. It sort
of plasters it down, which makes a
harder surface than when the soil is
dumped onto the roadbed. The road
drag is the most effective dust proven
ter except CLING the roads.

MAY TAKE THE COAL SUPPLY
Or. Garfield Tells Senate InVestigat-
ing Committee That Government
Will Be Compelled to Act.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Fuel Admin
is.rator Garfield told the Senate in
vestigating committee today that if
the war continued very long the gov
eminent would be compelled to pool
coal and sell it at reasonable prices.
Some coal operators, he said, were
making the greatest profits in their
history, but he considered high prices
q stimulus to the great production the
war demands.
The fuel administrator said he saw
little relief in prospect from the rail-
roads until their operation was cen
, tralized.
War demands kor bituminous coal
have been greater than mines could
meet, although the increase of produc-
ton this year has been normal, Doctor
Garfield said.

HIGH PRICED FEED
NEEDED FOR STOCK
Satisfactory Returns Cannot Be
Expected From Fattening
Inferior Animals.

Along with the high prices farmers
are now realizing for their live stock
comes the high-priced feed necessary
to make the stock ready for market.
The greater cost of maintenance of
breeding animals and the fattening of
market animals must be followed by
satisfactory return on the market,
else the breeder and feeder must cease
TO produce and feed. Returns that
completely oYerbalance the cost of pro-
ductiOn in fattening are not to be had
form inferior animals. No manufac-
turer would attempt to make an in
feriOr, Iow-grade product from high
priced raw materials in this time Of
expensive labor and working equip
ment Regardless of this fact, the
farmer who, in truth, is one OF the
worlds greatest manufacturers, some
times OverIoOks this particular point
and feeds scrub animals on high-priced
feed. This kind of practice is gradu-
ally eliminating a certain type OF live
stock farmer, thus giving the better
class Of breeders and feeders an OPP
portunity for greater returns from the
better class Of live stock they produce.
tages to be observed in the production
Of live stock of well established classes
and types, there are on the market to-
day more insists" and inferior grades
than animals Of superior market quail
fcations, and it is impossible to esti
mate the loss to the producer due to
this condition. The parent stock used
on farms is responsible for this state
Of affairs.
The need Of the markets can be met
only by a general improvement within
the herds and fiocks on general live
stock farms.
This improvement may be brought
about. according to S. T. Simpson Of
the University OF Missouri college OF
agriculture, by the use Of the pure
bred sire and the careful cuIIing OF
breeding herds and fiocks. Ample
proof of the efficiency of these meth
DDS may be had by close observation
of practices followed by the most pro-
gressive and financially successful live
stock men.

ration consists OF cheap roughaga,
which, unless there is some winter pas
ture, is largely composed of carbOhy-
drates, there should be a sufficient
amount Of leguminOus hay, such as al
falfa or clover. to supply the protein
needs Of the animal. In localities where
there is a shortage OF hay, but where
large quantities of cheap roughage,
such as corn slower, straw or damaged
hay, is available, this cheap roughage
often can be made to serve as the
greater part of the ration by supple
menting it with a small amount of
some concentrate high in protein. such
as cottonseed meal. The farmers in
that portion OF the corn belt lying west
of the Missouri river, where alfalfa is
grown abundantly, nearly always can
plan an adequate ration without corn
Although it is not necessary to plan
the rations for breeding COWS as care
fully as for dairy animals, or for fat
tening steers. nevertheless the data
obtained show the need OF more care
on the part of a large number OF these
farmers in the planning of their win
ter ratiOns. It is therefore strongly
recommended that the farmers who
raise their own feeder cattle take more
pains TO find out the needs of their ami
mails and feed them accordingly. For
the benefit of the farmers who are not
familiar with methods of working out
rations, it is suggested that they write
to either their own state experiment
station or the United States depart
ment of agriculture asking for help in
planning these ratiOns. In this letter
they should state the kinds and quail
ties of different feeds available for
use and the number of stock to be car
ried through the winter. They also
should give a brief outline of how they
would like to handle their stock.

Gall Kansas FARM WOMEN
A Statewide Conference viii be Held
in Topeka on January IL to
Organize Them.

A call for a statewide conference
of the farm women of Kansas has been
issued by Mrs. Theodore Saxon, one
Of the best known farm women of
Shawnee county The conference is
to be held January II in Topeka, fol-
lowing the annual meeting of the state
board of agriculture. The women plan
to hold a general session in the morn
ing, provide a round table luncheon
for the discussion of special problems
and another general conference in the
afternoon. The objects of the meet
ing as outlined in the call are:
To interchange ideas and promote
cooperation among women engaged in
farming or bearing the direct manage
ment of farms
To increase the knowledge and use
Of existing agricultural educational in
situations
To help to bring together supply and
demand, or producer and consumer.
To help solve the agricultural prob
lens before the Nation
To cooperate with organizations
enisting women for farm work.
To advise women who wish to make
a profession of agriculture and horti-
culture.
To show how inexperienced women
may become farmers and suggesting
necessary education and apprentice
ship.
To advise as to buying farms, CAPT
| tai necessary, selecting the farm, test
| ing Of soil, water supply, markets and
ra0faI contracts
To organize permanent association
| Of women farmers Of the state.
There are a large number of farm
women in Kansas. This does not
mean the wives of farmers, but the
women who are actually and actively
managing their own farms. Some are
farming from choice, while others
were left with farms on their hands
at the death Of husband. There will
| be many more women farm managers
as the result of the taking of many
men from the farms for army service,
| leaving the wife or mother to manage
| the farm. There are fifteen women
| farmers who are actually managing
| their properties in Shawnee county.

Government Officials Hear that
Stefanss0n Has Landed at
Fort Yukon.
SURVIVES Many HARDSHIPS
The Explorer was Head of the canad-
ian Gxpedition-Has Been Alb
sent Four Years.

Ottawa, Dec. 27.-Vilhjalmar Stef-
anssen, the Arctic explorer, last heard
from in a letter received in March,
1916, has arrived with his party at
Fort Yukon, Alaska, according 10
word received by the naval depart
ment.
Stefanssen, head of the Canadian
arctic expedition, has been in the Far
North since 1913 and lately there has
been some anxiety as to his safety.
The expedition was divided into the
northern and southern divisions Stef-
anssen, in charge of the northern,
started on the government steamer
Karluk. Near Point Barrow the YES
sci was ice-bound and carried east
ward to Thetis island.
Stefanssen, with a small party,
started on foot for the mainland. Dur
Ing their absence the KarIuk was
crushed by the ice and sunk, eight
members of the party losing their
lives in an attempt to reach Herald
island. Nine men made their escape.
Despite this disaster Stefanssen
continued his work in the far north,
making arrangements to journey on
2OOL over the Ice u uuhuOWn paFlS OIL
Beaufort sea.
Stefanssen's Arctic journey was not
q pole-seeking expedition. His pur-
pose was to seek new land and to
make geological, botanical and bio
logical sur seys of the Canadian Arctic
shores, and to study Arctic ocean con-
ditionS
One definite object was to search
for new land north of the mouth of
the Mackenzie river, but the loss of
the Karluk interfered with this. Sub
sequently he accomplished one of his
main purposes when, during his ex-
plorations with dog teams, he dis
covered a large island or continent
northwest of Prince Patrick island.
He made further extensive explora-
tions in this vicinity during the sum-
mers of 1915 and 1916. Several times
during these trips he was reported
lost.

affects its operation. If q short hitch
is used the tendency is to raise the
front edge Of the drag, while longer
more material The correct length OF
hitch TO use depends upon the height
OF the team, arrangement of harness,
etc, and must be determined by trial.
The amount of skew or angle which
the drag makes with the center line
of the road also affects the results.
The greater the skew q. e., the small
er the angle between the drag and the
center line of the road) the more
earth will be moved toward the cen
ter. Usually this skew angle should
be about 40 degrees, but here again
the judgment and experience of the
operator must be brought into play.
The driver can control the opera
ton to a large extent by shifting his
position upon the drag. When he ap-
proaches a high spot in the road he
can step toward the front, thus max
ing the blade cut deeper, while at a
depression he can step toward the
rear, in this way raising the cutting
edge and dumping the earth which is
being pushed ahead OF the drag. By
stepping toward the end OF the drag
nearest the center OF the road he can
increase the skew and so move more
earth toward the center line, while
stepping to the other end OF the drag
has the opposite eject In road drag

OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
Mistake for Operator to Think That
ALI He Has 70 Do Is to Drive
Team-Get Best Angle.

Whenever the road drag has been
tried and pronounced a failure it is
safe TO say that it was not used often
enough or else II was used at the
wrong time or IN the wrong way. Some
operators seem to think that all they
have TO do is to drive the team and
the drag will automatically do the
work, but this is a sad mistake
In the first place the manner OF
hitehing the team TO the drag greatly
