THERE'S ATALL REASON WHY MANY WANT TO WEAR THE
EXECUTIVE NAPKIN UNDER THEIR CHINS OMIYES!
BY GENE AHERN.


Since that time, all the stumps
have been whitfield into weejee
boards!
When a politician climbed aboard
stump all his gaff soaked into the
slivers.
That's what makes the weejee
boards SO gabby!
Now you hear talk about platforms
and planks. Also General Wood!
STOP CROWDINC
Well, to put the trolley back on
again. notice there are more bim-
Dos trying to annex the presidential
| hatrack than there are wags in an
airdale's tail. Didja ever stop to
| figure out why there are so many
guys skidding sand into their vest
pockets running for the presidential
nomination?
Hark tight brothers, and | will let
the meow out of the bag.
The landlords are to blame!
There's a bunion under the public
derby that wasn't counted.
FREE RENT!
Think of getting four years rent
gratis in an alabaster mansion in
Wash, D. c. Imagine not having to
nlingle tears with the blots when
writing out rent checks for a quartet
of years. Try and conceive of no
landlord being able to lean his double
chin thumb on the white doorbell to
inform you that your rent has been
hOlSted fifty wrinkles a MONTH No
wonder that every other guy is invit-
ing the presidential bee to sit tight
on his non-skid toupee. That, fella
citizens, is the answer in the filbert
canopy.

SUCH IS LIFE

These things are certain:
The brides folks never will believe
the bridegroom will amount to much.
The bridegroom's mother is con-
vinced her boy will get indigestion
from the cooking he'll have to put up
with.
The landlords seem determined to
have newlyweds live with her folks,
or his, while the market-man is punch
ing holes into the theory that two
can live as cheaply as one.
"The Battle Cry iof Freedom"
surged forth loudly from the depths
of hurdy-gurdy in front of the New
York co. courthouse, as the Judge
was slicing the matrimonial shackles'
which bound Mrs. Margaret Reid to
Daniel G. Reid, fnancier. Then, as
the divorced and their armies of law
yers were leaving the building, the
tune changed to "Try, Try, Try
Again" :
Loveless marriages were given ju-
dicial approval in Chicago in a decis-
ion in the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Juan
Gay, who appeared before Judge J..
B. David and asked that their mar
riage be annulled because they no
longer loved each other. The Judge
insisted they stay married to each
other.
Squire Abner Harpington believes
there'd be more happy marriages if
love was as blind after the honey
moon as it was in the courting days.

Any standard make of thrashing
machine Is capable of doing satisfac
tory work il kept in good repair and
operated intelligently, according to
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Clean grain
and small losses depend more than
anything else upon the skill and juag-
ment Of the operator. There are
few rules the wheat thrasher should

Study the instruction book seen.
ont By the manufacturer and follow
the suggestions closely. : -
See that the separator is set level
crosswise and lengthwise. ~y
The Speed Of the cylinder teeth IL

This may be modified slightly up or
down in different machines and with
different grains. In general the rule

after the grain passes through it.
Use As few concave tseth, as necs

better than four rows set low.
Crates give the best separation
when set a. high as possible.

AVOID WASTE IN THRASH|NG
MUCH WHEAT CAN Be SAVED
Many Little Leaks Result in Total
Waste of Millions of Bushels Yearly
a Bushcl Saved Is Il BushcI
GiUwn---i Few Cautions.

Probably the most important indi-
rect means for increasing production
is the avoidance of waste. This
should be borne in mind with regard
to wheat at thrashing time. This
operation should be conducted WITH
the greatest care, and measures should
be taken to see that as little grain
as possible is lost or allowed to cs-
cape through faulty operation of TIE
machines or unwise methods of
thrashing. This year there is a par
ticular necessity of a more careful
handling of the grain in the fields
and in thrashing to increase the pro-
duction.
Observations made by specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture show that surprising amount
of wheat is wasted in the thrashing
operation. In North Dakota, for in
stance, the average waste a day on
about 26 per cent of the rigs in oper-
alton was 1853 bushels for each rig.
After testing the machine and making
adjustments this loss was cut down
to 4.03 bushels a day, or saving of
1850 bushels, with total saving of
100000 bushels in the entire state
for the season.
More Than Fl 300, 900 Bushels Saved.
In South Dakota the testing and
readjustment of the machines effected
a saving of 1913 bushes day on Is
per cent of the machines tested, Or
100000 bushels for the State. In
Montana, through proper adjustment
of the machines and avoidance of
waste, the saving on Is per cent -
the rigs was 706,925 bushels for the
season; and in Minnesota, on 80 per
cent of the rigs, 100000 bushels.
The estimated total saving for 21
states in which the work was carried
on was 21,9O3,6OO bushels.
This movement should interest both
thrashermen and farmers. The
thrasherman by means of the tests
is better able to check up the work
being done by his machine and can
turn out more grain day, which
means more money both to himself
and to the farmer. After the faults
|of the machine are once located ard
corrected 1t is an easy matter to cheek
|up occasionally and keep the machine
running with the least waste.
The farmer can save great deal
of grain by the following methods:
Raking the stock rows; using tight
bottom bundle wagons for shock
thrashing; by careful and thorough
cleanup around the machine and the
use of a large canvas spread on the
ground under the feeder to catch the
