CusllErlaEl Binder ENGINE

The Cushman H. P. is the one Sue
cessful Binder Engine. Thousands are
in use every harvest. Fits any binder.
Engine drives sickle and all machinery.
Since horses have only to pull machine,
two horses will easily handle 8-ft. binder
in heavy grain. In wet harvest Cush-
man Engine saves the crop, as it keeps
sickle going when bull wheel slips.
Very lnaportant-The weight of the en-
CINE on the rear of the binder, only 167
lbs, is balanced by the simple cone water
cooler on the front Of the binder. This
balancing, ana the water cooling, to pre-
vent overheating on all day runs, are
necessary to successful work in q hot field.
After harvest CusEnlan engine does all other
gOrk. Very light weight and easy tomove
around. yet runs more steadily than most
heavy engines, because of Throttle Cover
nor and perfect balance. 4 Il. P. weighs
only 100 lbs; when stripped for binder
only 1877 lbs. 8H. P. only $40 lbs. Also
i5 and &c II. T. sizes.

was critical. At late hour this after
noon his condition had not improved.
Two months ago Judge Dana suf-
fered slight stroke of paralysis,
necessitating q complete rest. About
a week ago he returned to his office
in the court house, performing light
duties and planning to enter into the

turned. His present illness is caused
by gastric hemorrhages, entirely for
eign from his original trouble, accord
ing to physicians
Judge Dana is one of the oldest and
most respected members of the Shaw

years as judge of the Shawnee district
court he handled the heavy docket

ministration of Governor Stubbs when
the legislature created two districts
in Shawnee, Wyandotte and Sedgwick
counties. At that time Judge George

DEAD HUNS WASH UP
Large Number of Bodies Indicate Bat
tie Off Swedish Coast

naval enga cement has occurred is ex-
pressed in a dispatch received, in

German lines this morning, it is an
nounced officially.
Commission Ignored by Russia.
Amsterdam, Feb. 16.-Complaint is
made in semi-officia1 report received
here from Berlin that the German
commission in Petrograd is experience
ing constantly increased difficulties.
Conversation of members of the COM
mission with the Russian leaders is
impossible, it is said, because the Rus
sian authorities especially Premier
Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky
declare they are pre-occupied with
other business and make excuses to
retard the discussions.
After the grave incidents of the
last few days" the report adds. the
Russian government has abrogated
the recent decision regarding military
and civilian prisoners of war The
questions seriously arise whether it is
wise in the present circumstances for
the German commission to remain in
Petrograd."

MEAT FOR KAISER
Labor Troubles in This COun-
try Give Him Encouragement.
S. E. Cobb Thinks Strikers
Should Consider This.

S. E. Cobb, vice president of the
Bank of Topeka, brought the serious
ness of the war home in a strange, yet
forceful manner Friday evening at
loyalty meeting at Dover.
Cobb presented headlines from the
two Topeka dailieS of Friday. One
headline spoke of the U-boats sinking
double the ships built by the United
States and Great Britain in the last
year. Another headline informed the
American public that the government
had issued an appeal to shipbuilders
to continue their work in helping to
win the war and give the government
an opportunity to settle their differ
ence.
Now, just suppose we in America
heard that such conditions existed in
Germany" said Mr.. Cobb. Would
we feel discouraged in the prosecu-
ton of the war? We wouldn't.
Encourage Enemy.
'If Germany had to threaten to
conscript labor, if her laboring men
were striking thruout the empire as
they are in America, we would feel
that conditions were mighty bad over
there and would feel encouraged in
keeping on with the war. We can
we've got to get together and every
man, woman and child must get be-
hind the government"
Cobb believes the present conditions
should be brought home to the peo-
pie of the country thru the press. AT
the same time he believes their cor
responding effect on the country's
enemies should be forced upon the
American pI bile in order to bring
about an understanding of the great
effort demanded to force Germany to
her knees.
