War Department Converts We
hicles to Agriculture.

Washington, March 13.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 motor vehicles intend
ed for war purposes have been turn
ed over to the department of agricul-
ture by the war department for dis
tribution among the state highway
commissioners for use in road
building, allotments being based on
the amount of federal aid for roads
which the states receive. Already
10000 have been delivered to states
and the remainder will be distributed
as fast as railway cars can be secured
for their transportation, which will
be probably two or three months.
This equipment promises to be f
great aid in carrying out the large
road building program for 1920.

WHIsKEY AND BRANDY HAVE
BEEN CUT AS MEDICINES:
WILEY.

st. Louis, Jan 30.-Whiskey and
brandy have been eliminated as medi-
cines, it was declared here today by
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, president of
the United States Pharmacopeial
convention, and former chief of the
bureau of chemistry, Department OF
Agriculture. No mention of the al
coholic liquors as medicines will be
made in the next issue of the Ameri-
can Pharmacopeia, which is prepared
every ten years, he said. This was de-
termined upon, DR.. Wiley asserted,
several years before national prohibi-
tion became effective.
Whiskey, instead of an effective
remedy or preventive for influenza,
is positive poison in such cases said
DR.. Wiley, adding:
"In only one instance would l use
whiskey for an influenza case and
that would be where I wished to has
ten the departure to heaven of the
patient"
No serum has yet been found to
prevent influenza, he declared.

100000 WORTH OF BOOZE EMP.
TIED INTO GREELY (COLO.)
JAIL LAUNDRY SEWER.
Mrs. A. B. Copeland

About twenty members of the
Greeley (Col.) W. C. T U. have been
in jail, and strange to say, enjoyed
experience. But thereby hangs a
.-le. A large amount of liquor had &C
cumulated from court experiences
with the bootleggers and it was to see
the destruction of this booze that we
were summoned to jail on January
20. At ten dollars a pint over $50
900 worth was turned into the sewer
in the Jail laundry. Each lady present
was allowed to empty the contents
of bottle into a tub and keep the
receptacle as a souvenir. We felt
grateful to Sheriff Hall for inviting
US to participate in the funeral SER
vices for John Barleycorn in Greeley.

SOME MORE ABOUT POE
Correspondent Gives Interesting
Poem Clipped Years Ago.
70 the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
The recent discussion of Poe IN
your columns causes the mind to re-
vert to the pitiful picture of the
fragile and sensitive organization
call touch, all - all ear" subjected
to degrading -,rce, the exquisitely
balanced brain that a few drops of
alcohol hurled from its poise into an
abyss of madness in the storm of
that dread night, during which he
"sank beneath life's burdens in the
streets of Baltimore"
Surely the fight is over, and the vic
tory won even in this seeming de-
feat. The long contest with diseased
and, no doubt, inherited appetite, the
courageous yet sadly futile struggle
against poverty and malignity-al
is ended now, and it is permitted US
to hope, yes, and to believe hat in
sphere more gracious tha this as
piring one and star-like soul has at
tanned the life it craved.
The appended poem came into my
hands above 40 years since. 1t was
published in a New York paper, pur-
porting to be dictated to spiritual
istic medium by the dead poet. The
verses are indeed suggestive of their
accredited author in their imagery
and music of rhythm. To Poe's
unique poem they stand as compile
ment and are entitled to appear up
on the page of fame ebeside that ofthe
illustrious subject here so effectively
impersonated. They will doubtless be
read with interest by many of your
subscribers.

"Woman weak and woman mortal,

1 would feel that fire returning which

ROLLER LOST FIFTY MILES
But Took Other Events 1t Salina
Races Thursday

Spectacular driving In which dare
devil drivers threw caution to the
wind occurred Thursday afternoon at
Salina in the auto races in which a
dozen speed demons contested for
honors on the Kenwood mile track |;
this being especially true in the fifty
mile contest, which gave the specta-
tors sufficient thrills to last until the
next race meeting. While the fifty
mile contest was the climax Of the
meet, the other events possessed suf-
ficient speed to make the meet one
Of the best ever held in Kansas.
The racing was not hippodrome
affair either, and this fact was dem
onstrated in the fifty mile race, dur
ing which Roller threw two tires from
his Ford, and Lee got poor start
with his Dodge. Rollers mishap In
throwing two tires, made the contest
a real auto race. Roller made lap
after lap at fifty-four and fifty-five
seconds, but the gain that Mais made
while Roller was changing tires, pre-
vented Roller making up the loss, but
nevertheless he drove like demon.
The turns were negotiated without
fear, or decreasing speed-in fact
his marvellous driving was in nego-
tiating turns, not only in the fifty
mile event, but in every event that
he entered. The fifty mile race went
to Mais in "a 80 minutes.
The purse for the event was $500
with $500 for second and 5000 for
third.

WHEAT SAVES HIS MONEY
World Series Player Puts Money In
Land

Lana
c. A. Case, w. A. Chain and r.
w. Hoffman are home from their
eastern trip to see the world series.
DR.. Garrett is visiting relatives IN
New York. 1--WE had a great time"
said Mr.. Case. ''Our acquaintance
with Zack Wheat, one of the heroes
Of the Brooklyns, gave us the entry
to the best there was. We visited
the club headquarters daily and had
box seats with the players, managers
and the players families. The
Brooklyns are fine, hard working
group Of men but the best team won,
aided by breaks that went Cleve-
lands way. Wheat, who used to
play with Enterprise and worked In
the Hoffman mills, earns about $12,-
600 a year and lives during the win
ter with his family on fine 800 acre
farm in Missouri. He saves his
money. too. He is a great hero of
the Brooklyn kids-one day coming
out Of the headquarters there were
1000 of them waiting for him and
they followed him for blocks. Cleve-
land went absolutely wild over the
victory-just like big country town
when there Is a game with rival
town. l never heard so much noise
made by any crowd as was turned
loose. The seven or eight hundred
Brooklyn fans at Cleveland had seats
together but they could not make
much headway against $1,000 home

Kansas Wheat and Corn Would Make
Road Across Continent

This is the first year that Kansas
has been blessed both with bumper
wheat and bumper corn crops, accord
ing to J. c. Mohler, secretary Of agri-
culture.
This years wheat crop, estimated
at 147,O0O,0O0 bushels, is the serond
largest in the history Of the state,
while the oorn crop Is estimated at
150,O0O.000 bushels, the largest since
1912. The combined crops-approx-
imately 300, ,O0O,O 900 bushels--are the
largest in the states history, both
in number of bushels and in value.
To better appreciate what this
amount Of grain means, little figur-
ing shows that 1t would be enough to
pave a road one foot deep and eigh-
teen feet wide from San Francisco
to New York and almost back to
Kansas City.
The largest wheat crop, 1914, was
1S0,924.SS5 bushels. but the corn
crop in that year was only $685.
272 bushels. In 1919, when the third
largest wheat crop was harvested,
the corn crop again fell short.

DRIVER SLEEPS AT THE WHEEL
Farmers Car collides With Auto
Parked on Salina Street

One Of the most unusual motor car
accidents to occur in Salina was re-
corded last evening when a farmer
named Martin, living east Of Salina
went to sleep while driving his car.
A collision resulted with car Of J.
G. Coldiron, parked on East Iron ave-
nue. in front Of his home. Both cars
weer badly damaged and Martin was
cut on one hand. The Coldiron car
brakes were not set and as result
Of the impact 1t plunged forward
twenty-five feet or more, thus pre-
venting more damage.
Martins wife is in a hospital in
Salina and he is sowing his wheat
crop, working from before daylight
until dark. After dark he comes to
town to see his wife, returning home
in sfime to get few hours sleep be-
fore time to get up. He explained
that he was completely worn out
from overwork, which caused him to
fall asleep. The crash awakened
Martin. but he was so drowsy 1t was
several minutes before he was suffi-
ciently aroused to realize what had
happened.
