when the total was 70,259. The 1g-
ures show that an average Of five
thousand separators have been pur-
chased by Kansans in the last Ave
yeafS.
Larger iuiryihg operations, as we'll
as increased use Of machinery to per-
form farm work, are the reasons CIV
en- by J. G. Mohler, secretary Of the

separators.

RAILROAD. MIME, FOREST
PURCHASED BY HENRY FORD
Workers to Receive Ford Wages,
Bonus and Other Benefits

Bonus ana Otner ncucuts
During the last two months, Henry
Ford and the Ford Motor Company
have purchased the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton Railroad, a 100000 acre
timber tract in Northern Michigan
and a coal mine in Kentucky. And
II Is rumored that other purchases are
under consideration.
Two thousand railroad workers are
automatically made "Ford men," In
the near future they will be permit
ted to share in the investment oppor-
tunity with the thousands OF other
Ford employees. The minimum wage
system and bonus distribution Will
also apply to the railroad men.
The Detroit. Toledo and Ironton
railroad will soon be known by an
other name. Avoiding congested
centers, the railway is a direct line
to the coal fields Of Southern Ohio
and the West Virginia and Kentucky
boundaries. Solid coal trains may be
routed through to Detroit without de-
lay or interference.
Timber from virgin forests Of the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan will be
used to furnish lumber for Ford au-
tomobile bodies and other require
ments. Another link added to the
chain Of Ford industries ia the Ford
saw mill, located just outside Of De-
troit.
These acquisitions are wonderful
links in the chain Of Ford industries.
Fewer outside organizations are be-
ing depended upon year by year. AL
ready work on the Ford car and
Fordson tractor commences with the
ore in Ford furnaces. Soon the coal
will be transported from mines on a
Ford railroad, and soon the timber
will be cut from Ford virgin forests.
Including these new additions, the
direct Ford payroll now contains
approximately 100000 names. d&w

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
ALFREDA.
BY CORA MOORE,

Alfredo belongs rightfully to
tairyland. She originated in the de-
lightful legends of the elf world.
her most distinguished ancestor be-
ing the elf king. Elberich, whose
counterpart Shakespeare marries to
the Greek Titania in Midsummer
Nights Dream" Alfredo means
elf council"
The first appearance of the name
in England was IN its masculine
form: the most honored OF all the
English sovereigns wrote himself
upon his jewel "Aelfred." which
signified elf in council" or super
natural being.
Though Alfredo may be properly
regarded as the feminine of this
name there are numerous other
forms of this same elf title from
which she may be taken. Aelfgifu
was one of the most famous. having
been bestowed upon the lady known
to us as Elgiva, whose beauty was
a fatal gift which brought ruin to
her and her husband.
The opal is Alfreda's talismanic
gem. Perhaps IL is her heritage
from elf-land which renders power
less the Vaccinations Of the fairy
spirit which superstition claims is
imprisoned therein. Worn by her.
the gem is said to guard her from
evil and disease. Friday Is her
lucky day and her lucky number.

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
NO STARCH FOR BABY.

AS the wee one begins to show
signs of wanting something, other
than his regular diet of milk. the
average mother turns to crackers or
bread crust as his first solid food.
The fact that a baby's first teeth
are his meat" teeth should indicate
that for the first years proteids in
the form of milk and meat are what
nature intended. A carefully Sc
lected bone with a little flesh on 1t
can be given the ten -months-o old
child. He will chew out the juices
and 1t will do him no harm.
A spoonful of orange juice should
be given once a day to the child of
that age but stsrches should be
witkhel until the grinding teeth
appear. Many OF the patent foods
for children are made with starch as
a basis and sweetened to make them
attractive. The babies apparently
thrive. they are fat and cute" look
ing. but at years of age the starch
fed child cannot compete with the
baby who has been fed on mothers
milk or on cows milk modified ac-
cording to a formula which the fam
lily physician or a child specialist
will write according to the age of
the baby.
Children need sugar as they burn
up energy more continuously than
gre wn-ups. so the simple desserts
such as custard. junket and gelatine
may be given eve n before bread and
milk is given. DR.. Hollis book on
child feeding should form the COR
nerstone for every young mothers
library.
