A noticeable feature Of the opera
ton Of rural motor routes into and
out of various cities, which have come
under the observation of Investigators
OF the bureau Of markets, United
States department Of. agriculture, is
the lack of central receiving or dis
tributing stations. In each city the
operators maintained their own indi-
vidual stations apd each carried on
his own business independent of the
business Of others.
Overhead Expenses Big.
Where number Of independent
routes have their terminals In given
city, the overhead expenses incident
to the maintenance of individual ter
minal stations >are multiplied many
times, while the advantages Of cen
trail terminal are lost altogether.
These advantages are very real. In
the first place, central terminal for
a. group of rural routes is in itself
an advertisement of the services in
that the attention Of the shipping pub
lie is drawn to the possibilities of
motor transportation. The use of
central terminal encourages and facili-
tates the transfer Of goods originating
on one route and destined to some
point on another route. The problem
of city delivery, which Is serious in
large cities, can be solved by means
Of a common delivery service, sup
ported by all operators who use the
central terminal. This eliminates Op-
Grating heavy trucks to scattered
points in congested districts to deliver
relatively small consignments. Last,
but not least, a central terminal effects
some very material economies, In such
items as office rental, clerical assist. !

and related expenses ordinarily in

State Board Of Agriculture I'm coop
GRAFTON with the State Farm Burea,
and county agents there, was not very
much change In the weather condi.
tions from those reported last week
except that In some sections of the
state light rains have fallen and
these have been of value to the grow
ing wheat. In all parts Of the state
the condititont OF the wheat crop is
reported as being excellent and pas
turing Of the crop continues.
Corn harvest has progressed rap.
idly In the central third of the state
where reports indicate that It is prac-
tically completed. The eastern third
Of the state does not report the husk-
ing finished In all counties and a rea-
son for this Is given as the shortage
Of help. In most cases the farmers
are attempting to complete the har-
vest of corn without the aid Of out
side help. All.parts Of the state re-
port the sorghum crop as having
been harvested in good condition.
Pasture is reported good In all parts

THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF
BELLE SPRINGS USEFULNESS

Friday the Belle Springs Creamery
Company celebrated the S4th anniver-
sary Of It's existence. No one thought
about 1t until a search through some
old records reminded ID. II. Forney OF
the fact and then II was too late even
to serve ice cream.
Since the company's organization
in 1885 Il has been one OF the great
est influences for business growth in
Dickinson county. It's leadership,
more than any one thing, developed
the dairy industry In days when this
was almost a necessity to the farm
er's prosperity. Millions Of dollars
have been paid to milk producers and
this income has been a powerful
force in the county's development.
The Belle Springs has grown to be
one Of the most important creamer-
les in the Middle West, with branches
in other cities, but It is Dickinson
product and serves this county In
most helpful capacity.

FRANKNEss HELPS BUSINESS

"One solution Of better business is
to have frankness as to costs OF doing
business" said Prof. ]. w. Searson OF
the State Agricultural college at the
business mems lunch. He urged that
business men tell one another in con-
ferences and tell farmers In similar
ways just what is the basis of costs,
disarming criticism Of prices. This,
he said, should go all along the line
SO that we may locate Just where the
cost originates. 1t is the coming way
into better business understanding :.
Fred COulson presided and the as
ISOLATION discussed decoration for the
Grange meeting, all being asked to-
spruce up for the occasion. The City
Federation was sent an invitation to
meet with the business men ut any
time for mutual helpfulness.

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
Do Your, Part in Helping the Fight
For Kansas Health


For Kansas Health
The Christmas seals which arr
4 helping carry on the fight against
tuberculosis are ready.
Every dollar from the sale of the
Christmas Health Seals will go into
the fight for human lives In Kan
sas-the big smash to beat back the
invasion Of the white plague-tuber-
culosis. For twelve years the
Christmas seal sale has paid the way
!, for the fight on tuberculosis in this
state. And records kept for period
Of seven years show that money from
the sale Of the little stickers-the
health bonds-has permitted an or
ganization which has decreased the
7. B. death rate in the state 1873 per
cent. It is life and death battle.
Those dollars mean human lives. And
II they don't come during the season
of cheer and good will, human lives
will pay the price Of Kansas neglect.
The Reflector believes that this
cause should have the endorsement
Of all in every way it can be car
ried on-through the testing Of the
cows that furnish milk to the chill
dren of the city, through sanitation
in the schools, through the Red
Cross nursing and in every possible
way that will lessen the fearful toll
of death.
Orders for the seals will be receiv-
ed at this office-send your check

The following letter from Prof. @. O.
Osborn, government inspector, il
right to the point:
Editor Reflector: II is encouraging
to note the increased interest in tu-
berculosis eradication work In its re-
Iation to pure food. Many are just
beginning to realize the danger of
using milk or milk products from tu-
bercular cows. Hon. I'M. Whittle-
sey. In an address to the American
Veterinary Medical Association in
convention at Columbus. Ohio recent
~ stated that 20 per cent Of the tu-
berculosis cases among children In
Connecticut was due to infected milk
IrOm tuDerCuldr cows.
Milk from tuberculin tested cows
is the only safe kind to use without
pasteurizatiOn.

operation with the state forces in tu-
berculosis eradication work I'm Kan
sas are finding tubercular animals In
many Of the herds over the state.
Government experts place the amount
Of loss from tuberculosis I'm cattle
and hogs at $4,000, 900 annually In
the United States.
Cattle are the most susceptible to
tuberculosis Of all animals, but on
farms where the cattle are tubercular !,
the hogs are often infected and quite
the chickens are also.
There is no need for any one using
milk from tubercular cows. The tu-
berculin test is the only wav fn de-
tect fhe disease Graduate Veterin.
arians are competent to administer
he test. Cattle should be tested
.very year, to be sure the disease
lOes not vet a start in the herd.
Many who have neglected to have
heir herds tested, find when they do
inally decide to have them tuberculin
ested that the disease has spread
through their herd till a large per-
ent Of their animals are infected.

CONSOLIDATION THE SOLUTION
Common Rural School Is Out Of Date
Says Jardine

The common, rural district school,
as a means Of education. Is placed in
the same category as thar occupied
by the old fashioned "strcng arm"
cradle as a means Of harvesting grain,
by President w. M. Jardine, Of the
Kansas State Agricultural College. He
advocates that "the solution Of the
school problem in Kansas is a state
wide system of consolidated elemen-
tary schools and rural high schools.
Investigations made by the Kan
sas State Agricultural College show
that one of the main reasons for
farmers moving to the cities is to get
better schools for their sons and
daughters. This means that a big
problem for Kansas to solve is the ru-
raj school problem" declared Presi-
dent Jardlne.

NNSs.A ~ WV
The tapping Of the oil tanks OF

1000 gallons Of gasoline and kero

little more about the arrangements
every gallon In store would have gone
but some reserve stocks were left In
tact. Guards were placed over the
pools Of gasoline last night to pre-
vent fire. No clue has been found to
the depredators. One theory is that
a discharged employee from outside
the town was seeking revenge. De-
tectives are working on the job.
The only tank not emptied was pro-
tected by a, safety device which evil
IDENTIFY the visitor did not know how
to overcome. Twelve valves were
