TT TAKES GRIT TO WIN

A big burly fellow or even bunch
of them, is just naturally afraid of
even a small sized man who displays
an unusual supply of mental grit.
For this reason one officer is very
frequently able to handle control
one or two big muscular fellows,
either one of which could easily give
him a trouncing in two minutes, or
even a bunch of fifteen or twenty
men. This assertion is frequently
proven by actual experiences of Of
ficers and was proven true at the de-
pot at WaKeeney Tuesday morning.
"A railroad ssbull" who is rounding
up the tourists and making them buy
tickets instead of stealing their way
on the trains, took up two fellows
who were seeking q passage to Colby
by way of the free freight buSS
route Either one of them would
weigh fifty pounds more than the de-
kective and were much younger and
kseeming1y good, strong huskies. The
|sebull' told them to get off the train
and buy tickets. They demurred and
thing to happen. Something did hap
pen. The detective started to use
his vocabulary and showed no signs
of fear. He walked right up to the
huskies and commenced to tell them
what he would do to them if they re-
fused to buy and if they gave him any
back talk He displayed bunch of
temper and of grit He had no
weapon or other article of self de-
Tense in his hand in sight. He was
| within easy striking distance of the
tourist and was doing the talking.
The huskies did no hit him or act like
they were about to do so. One of
them tried to walk away from the
| detective but he stopped when he
| was commanded. They both marched
| into the depot and purchased tickets
and the detective went out to look
for other tourists Grit had won

NOTICE TO DRAGMEN AND
ROAD OVERSEERS

All dragmen on the county roads
are to cut or see that the weeds are
cut along the sides of the roads as
soon as possible to do so.
Overseers on township roads should
use every effort especially along the
mail routes to get the weeds cut. If
it is not done the mail will discontinue
should the snow blockade them this
winter, now is the time to get busy.
It is the duty of landowners to do the
work but many neglect or refuse and
the neighbor and public are the suf-
ferers.

w. WIS HAVE COME NOT

Since the four 1. w. WIS were
landed in jail last week rumors have
been circulated at different times that
a large bunch of then-au the way
from one hundred to seven hundred
were their way to WaKeeney for
the purpose of rescuing their fellow
members from the county jail. To
this date they have not come and it is
just as well for them that they have
stayed away. 1t will be recalled that
a few years ago bunch of L. w. W's.
stormed the county jail and removed
therefrom some of their members and
that they were afterwards rounded
up by the irate citizens of WaKeeney
and marched out of town. The citi-
zens of this city are not at all friend
Iy to the wabIy organization and if a
bunch of them come here and start
something there is going to be trou-
bic. They will be treated within the
law, as long as they keep within the
law, but it is not advisable for them
to break it or even to bend it very
much

SAYS SWEET CLOVER Is GOOD
FEED

Many of the citizens of WaKeeney
and Trego county will remember H
w. Spear who lived here about four
teen years ago but who now lives at
Rock Falls, Ill. Mr. Spear owned
several pieces of land in this county
and in Cove county. He is a sub
scriber to The World and has noticed
the opinions on Fsweet clover which
have been published. . He writes
letter in which he tells his expert
ence with sweet clover in Illinois and
gives his opinion as to what it will
do and how it should be handled in
this country. The letter says:
81 have been raising sweet clover
for ten years or more. Some of my
neighbors call it weed but I always
have clover when they have none
It should be sown in late fall or early
winter and needs very little covering.
first sowed it along a ditch bank
to keep it from washing and cove1e
ing from freezing and thawing & I
always have clover there. It res8eds
itself. It would do nicely in your
country in the draws and places
where there is a wash think it
would catch if the seed WAS scattered
on sod in pastures and out-of-the-way
places. AS for hay it is next to a1fal-
fa- I have it growing on sand which
was blowout few years ago. Cut
a nice crop of hay June 10th and now
it is over two feet high and blooming.
I will cut a good crop for seed
When it is cut for hay do not cut it
too low as the second crop starts diff
ferent from alfalfa I killed it once
when I cut it too low"

HARVESTER THRESHERS ARE
O. k IF


people of Trego county have had
their first opportunity to see COM
bination harvester-thresher machine
at work, this being the first year that
any of them have been used in this
vicinity. The World has made an eff
fort to obtain opinions of the ma
chimes and their work from those
who are operating them and the grain
men who have handled the wheat
which has been delivered from them.
The consensus of the opinion is that
the machines and their use is all
right if
THE first esif'' is that if the men
Working with the machine know how
50 shandIe it. This objection can be
overcome by experience.
The second eff is that if the grain
is ripe enough to thresh and is dry
enough for storing so that it will not
heat and burn in the bin or in the
elevator.
Another <sif' is if the grain is prop
erly cared for after it is threshed if
it is threshed before it is sufficiently
dried.
From observation the spectator
knows that the machines, the harves-
ter-thresher and the standing grain
thresher, will do the work for which
they are intended and will do it right.
Very little wheat is left in the field
after the machine, not any more than
Will be left when the header and
thresh1ng machines are used. With
these machines one man can do the
work of three or four in the old meth
DDS of harvesting and threshing and
| he can do it easier, because the ma
chine does the work. The job of har-
vesting and threshing is all done at
| once and as soon as the grain is all
| cut the farmer can commence at once
| on p1owing and will not have thresh-
| ing to bother him. This work is all
so easily and nicely done that it
| crowds the farmer into doing his har-
vest work too soon; before the grain
IS ripe enough for storing. It is the
| opinion of the elevator men that for
the last half of the harvest season
these machine will be all right They
are all right any time after the wheat
is sufficiently dry for storing and not
| until then unless the farmer takes the
| proper care of his damp grain to pre-
vent heating.
The suggestion for a way for the
farmer to handle the damp grair
| comes from man who says he has
worked with these machines in Cali
| fornia. He says the way to do it is
| like they do in California. The grair
| is run into sacks, the sacks are tieo
up and dumped off in the field where
| they are allowed to lie for severa
days and dry out. Such a metho<
would be all right in this countr,
if there should be no rain while tn.
wheat is drying in the sacks, but i
does rain every once in awhile in thi
country and the method cannot be de
pended upon.
There is but one way by which tn
harvester-thresher machines can b
successfully used in this country an
that is to wait until the grain i
thoroughly ripe before starting to US
them. This would mean that ther
should be, one machine to each week
work in harvest or else the farme
must also have header or binder fo
use before the grain is thorough
dry.

THE WESTERN KANSAS FARMER
The Western Kansas farmer i.

The Western Kansas farmer is
surely a specimen of sportmanship,
sunny, soulful, sanguine and seldom
sad through successive seasons of
sunburn, sore shoulders and some
times seeming servility-
He dwelleth on a hundred sixty
maybe three twenty or six forty acres
OF the finest soil that every lay sotIt
of doors and there is not a state nor
a country-hardIy- his grit is
not known. He abideth under the
canopy of the broad, blue heavens and
his Maker is a SHE'D and fortress in
whom he doth place his trust. When
a child he thinks child, speaks as
a child, understands as a child. 1t IS
then that he mounteth the old lister
at 4:1O a. M, unafraid for the terror
by night, and after sowing the. seed
till 1900 M he knocketh- off to waste
the monday in the destruction of a
pail of solid country grub eaten in
che shade of one of the many tall and
stately sunf1owers which adorn the
countryside. When he returneth from
the field at night he hayeth the horses,
sloppeth the swine and nniIketh a
dozen cows and, after he rustles in
his coal and kind1ing, he is off-to
haY-tiH 3 80 next morning.
But when he becomes a man he puts
away childish things. 1t is then he
seeketh the hand of the buxon coun-
try maiden of his choice, (sometimes

when the bumper crop will remove
