TO HELP SAVE
BIG GRAIN CROP
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, June 1.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has started a
campaign against the careless thresh-
ermen. 1t wants only "clean straw
ricks' left Of the greatest grain crop
the nation ever has known according
to statement made public today
50 the threshermen will be aided by
the government to develop efficiency
and avoid loss in separating. the
wheat from the chaff.
Records of the department reveal
startling losses of grain through
avoidable waste of the threshermen,"
Tests made in Just ordinary crop
years show that an average OF 25,-
100000 to 27,OOO,OOO bushels is thus
thrown away What it will be this
year, unless the waste is eliminated
the department believed. would be
worth much more than the cam
paign of education would cost the
government
In Minnesota, where the depart
ment made comprehensive tests COW
ering 5000 threshing machines last
year, it was found that more than 25
per cent of machines wasted an av
erage of 15 bushels of grain a day
each. This loss, according to the
figures, was largely through mach
ines being out of repair or through
lack of adjustment Some of the
Minnesota threshers wasted as much
as so bushels per day of the thresh-
ing season. The daily average for
the $500 machines according to the
records was: wheat, 4.69 bushels and
oats. 81 bushels per machine.

Paris, May. 15,-(By mail - Pat
Ryan, champion hammer thrower, is
not going to be permitted to show
his prowess at that particular game
in the A. E. F. field and track finals
and in the inter-allied games. The
French authorities, looking over Pat
and casting glance at his hammer,
say theyNwill take no chance of hav-
ing a flock of spectators killed out

M. @. A. for the international events,
June 22-July 6, will be a pretty big
affair, but the French athletic gov
ernors say the hammer-throw is too
dangerous a sport from the specta-
tors standpoint and will have none
of it.
Also, the other allies have no ham
mer throwers, so Ryan's performance
if permitted would probably be only
an exhibition event.
He is training, however, to com
pete for honors in the shot put and

Iowa school boards are not only

cillors Of the French government at
the peace conference. and a geogra-
pher with an international reputa-
ton, for the statement that Fiume
is the one place in that region
where a city fulfilling its functions
could be constructed. The Italians
would be quite willing to allow the
Americans. the British and the
French to help the Jugo-Slavs build
another city If they can get Fiume,
knowing full we'll that no other city
could be built that would give them
any competition. The reason that
Fiume has the one location that
makes a city Of commercial impor-
lance possible is due 10 the geogra-
ply Of that region.
There are other places nearby
that offer possibilities for a harbor
though none so good as Fiume-
but at all those places the land
drops in sheer precipices into the
water. It is impossible to have a
commercial harbor where the
wharves are 200 feet above water
level. It may be a nice place to
anchor a boat, but il is no place to
unload IT, Hence for the Jugo-
Slavs II is Fiume or nothing. Know
ing the commercial Importance OF
Fiume. II is easy TO understand
why the Italians are so eager to OBJ
tain the city.
Much Is Pure Politics.
I have mentioned the other rea-
son for the Italian desire for Fiume
as lying in the realm OF internal
politics. We all know that here at
home much Of the opposition TO the
League Of Nations, while founded
on fact and perfectly reasonable and
Unsuitable. is nevertheless due 10
the different political persuasions

You may rest assured that this

power there. says. In my opinion
the only chance for democracy in
Russia lies in the success Of Kol-
chak His attitude on the land
question shows that he is not the
reactionary he has been represent
ed. He sees clearly that the dis
tribution Of big estates among the
peasantry cannot be interfered with.
1T is proposed that those land
owners who have survived bolshe-
vism shah be given compensation
for the land they have lost but
there is no idea Of restoring the
land TO them. Kolchak stands up
for the poor peasants against what
Lenine has called the village Of
bourgeoisie.
Kill Landowners
1T is found that well-to-do peas
ants had murdered many OF the
landowners, given a meager portion
Of the poorest land 10 the poor
peasants and joined the bulk Of the
estate 10 their own holdings. Kol-
chak, with the advice Of represen-
tatives CT the allies, decided 10 Sc
cure for the poor peasants a fair
distribution Of the land. When this
was known the comparatively
wealthy peasants, who had secured
the biggest share Of the land raised
the cry that the old state OF affairs
was TO be restored. In some cases
they stirred up the peasants TO re-
volt and caused disturbances which
had TO be put down by force.
Melting Ice Reveals Crime.
