CHICAGO.@"Women in the new
glory of national suffrage ought not
become politicians; they should just
keep on being housekeepers."
Miss Deana Marie Anderson speaks.
She Is the original city housekeeper
Ia real feminine sweeper of streets.
She helps keep cities clean and
healthy by selling motor-drfven street
sweepers to town councils. .

whitening" smiled Miss Anderson.
at her desk in the Chicago office of
a machinery sales corporation.
She is. And she has a place all
by herself in this new sphere for the
business woman.
For six years I've been dealing
with officials all over the country"
said Miss Anderson, land I've had
an unusual insight into the twists and
quirks of politics that too often play
a part in the purchase of city sup
plies and the operation Of municipal
affairs.

right up, staying on your feet and
using your fork just ~ you load the
wagon in the field. Build a good, big
rick, keeping the top level and the sides
even so il will settle evcnly-and grav-
ity will do the rest.
1.-THE secret Of this easy plan OF
stacking H. simply this: When the
stack settles the outside will settle
the most--givlng the butts Of the out
side course "A steep downward pitch
that will shed water like ducks

mccing-in, wagon-wheel stackers Ia
build a stack that will shed water like
one Of these self-thatched ricks. I've
made scores Of these stacks on which
the outside bundles settled at such a
pitch that when the stack was opened
ut threshing time bundles from the
outside courses frequently slipped to
the ground when the overlapping
course was removed. | have yet to
see one OF the stacks built by this
method take water. They are 100 per
cent efficient for the purpose Of a
grain stack--to keep the grain dry
and bright.
1.-THE thing that made grain-sta1':-
ing a lost art was the outrageous diff
ficulty imposed by the old idea that
the stack had TO be built water-tight.
I've seen men keep their "middles" 80
full they could hardly work on them,
and knee the outside courses so tight
you could hardly stick "a fork-handle

the biggest and hest fair ever. There
will be profitable fun for ALL" The
Missouri state Fair really Is a great
educational center and every loyal
Missourian ought 10 visit the fair ev-
cry few years at the least.
Tuesday. August II, has been des-
ignated farm bureau day. A special
program has been arranged for the
farmers that day. Prominent agricul-
tural men from various parts Of the
United States will be on the program.
II you are going 10 the fair, why not
plan to be there on farm bureau day.
Blue Sky Committee.-The presi-
dent Of the executive committee Of the
farm bureau was authorized ut the
last meeting TO appoint q Blue Sky
committee. The object of such COM
mittee Ii TO have someone to whom
farmers may appeal for information
concerning the character and reputation
Of concerns represented by various
agents and solicitors that come into
the county from time TO time.
Last year, hundreds Of farmers In
Missouri were swindled out Of thous-

in Holt county, a cetain agent oper-
ated for some time. He had many
farmers TO believe they were subsc, b
ing TO the farm bureau and that the
farm bureau was backing HIM II ev-
cry farmer who Is solicited by strang-
ers would demand that the solicitor or
agent present written endorsement

farm bureau or that he get Il, II would
not be long until our county would be
free of such characters. II the firm

interest already manifested in the pic
mic, II will be the biggest stunt Of this
kind ever held in the county. Every
member OF the bureau should mark
this date on his calendar and promise
TO take the whole family To the picnic.
There will be fun and entertainment
for all. Chester Gray, president of the
Missouri farm bureau federation, has
accepted an invitation to be with us
that day.
Early Flowing for Wheat Paid Oren
Hayes.-Persons passing along side Of
Oren Hayes wheat field in Minton
township, before harvest, noticed that
the wheat on one half the field was
six TO ten inches taller and thicker on
the ground than that on the other half,
Upon investigation, they learned that
the difference was due 10 the differ
ence In time Of blowing. One half OF
the field was plowed early and the
other later. Mr.. Hayes used horses in
blowing. By the time he got the first
half plowcd, the other was so dry and
hard he could not pillow until condi-
tions were more favorable.
OF course, the difference in moisture
content was really the factor that
caused tho difference in growth, but
indirectly, the time Of blowing was the
cause, for the land that was plowed
early retained most Of the moisture In
the soil, whereas, the land that was
plowed late had lost great deal OF
it, moisture content through evapora-
ton. Mr.. Hayes said that Il would
have pAid him well TO have had q trac.
tor pillow Tie entire field early. There
perhApa are many such examples In
the county. They should be an In
centive to everyone Of the community
to pillow wheat land at the earliest pos.
sible date.

What Father Says;

ut will be easier this threshing time
To put wheat in the stack than on the
track. Grain cars are scarce and the
train crews are just human enough TO
set cars where the brides are biggest
conditions that add TO the uncertain
ties Of the market and bear down the
early prices. On q good many farms
grain stacking Is the surest way out
Of this difficulty-for stacking need
not be made difficult matter, II the
law Of gravity is permitted to do most
Of the work.
First Of all want to say that my
method of stacking is not the sort
that has become lost art-the old,
laborious method your grandfather
swears by and that you swear at.
have built stacks in that fashion-as
long ago rs l866-but soon after that
date swore off and began using my
head more and my knees less. Since
then have stacked hundreds of acres
Of grain-standing on my feet and
using fork; and my stacks shed water
. great deal better than those built
BY men who still think II necessary to
knee-in the outside courses. More
over I have taught this plan to many
young men who caught the idea quick
ly and began at once building stacks
capable Of standing up indefinitely
and shedding water perfectly.
by this plan either a round stack
or q rick can be built, but the rick
holding 10 or ~ loads is the handiest
And herein worlds tho main idea
Of this method: keep off the outside
courses! Lay the outside courses
smoothly and just as In ordinary stack
ing but lay the bundles Of the out
side course loosely-with space "a
spare between them. Do not walk on
these outside courses, but build them
up loosely, laying the bundles Of each
succeeding course over the spaces be-
tween the bundles Of the next course
below. This applies mainly b the out
aide course and In slight degree to
the naxt. which dlDuld be Tapped well
out 70 the hands Of the outside course.

VOTING A DUTY.

Were Or. Johnson, a shaper Of

century, discoursing on this theme
doubtless he would say:
"A man, sir, should keep his citizen

He would mean for one thing that
every qualified voter should vote NJ
primaries and elections and that be
fore voting should inform himself as
to the candidates and issues 50 as TO
vote intelligently.
The voter thus would be keeping his
citizenship in repair He would be
doing his duty, and American citizen

we'll as privileges.
Only when the Observation-Disclosures

Every qualified voter should go TO

should not do this blindly, but should
inform himself as to the qualiiica-
tons and records OF the candidates.
The primary is an important part II

our statute books and as long as II

TELLS PROGRESS AT
 EXPERIMENTAL FARM

D. w. Working, dean of the college of agriculture and director of the agri- cultural experiment. stations of the University of Arizona. has been in the valley for the past two days attending to affairs that come under his super vision here. Yesterday afternoon he visited the experimental farm at Mesa, where the progress Of that station was brought to his attention.
 A contract for the construction Of q foremans cottage costing S9000 was recently let and excavation work on the project has already been started and material for the building is on the ground. Foreman Wood has begun the work of thrashing the small grain raised on the farm. The oat crop is giving a fair yield, but the wheat was injured by rust and will consequently yield little this year.
 Dean Working reports a fine stand of cotton on the farm, however, and believes that he and his associates have a fine opportunity to do valuable work at Mesa in studying the agricultural problems of southern Arizona.
 The station,' said Mir. Working, 'has been ambitious for more than a year to organize q department to study the diseases of plants. Recently the board of regents of the university ap- pointed a plant anthologist, who will begin work July on the study of cot ton diseases here"
