Ousting of the Inefficient Army Officers

G ECRETARY WEEKS has ordered
y the heads of all branches of the
army to eliminate officers who do not
measure up to standards of military
efficiency. Officers who cannot give
satisfaction in onn branch will be tried
out in some other, and those who fail
to measure up in any Of the positions
will be subject to retirement on small
pay or discharged under the provisions
Of a recent law. In an explanatory
statement the War department says:
"The bas!c principle in making as
signments Is to have the right officer
In the right place. The best interests
Of the service should always be para

it usually requires study Of the off,

WASHINGTON

Harding Annuls Army Harness Contract

code prohibiting officers and employees
of the government from having any
interest in government property or
contracts.
.'The facts developed by the attor-
ney general led to the conclusion that
these contracts had been entered into
as a result of a conspiracy on the part
of certain former temporary officers
of the army to obtain possession of
these military supplies"
The individuals involved In the ac-
tion of the President, Secretary Of
War Weeks and Attorney General
Daugherty, are former Col. George B.
Goetz of Ransom, w. Va. former
Maj. Joseph c. Byron Of Hagerstown,
Nd; former Capt. Azel f. Cochrane,
and former Capt Henry G. Benke, all
Of whom held emergency commissions
during the war.
In July, 1920, the four men in ques-
tion, 1t Is charged, prevented the sales
to the public. In September, 1920. the
United States Harness company was
formed. and on September "a the con-
tract between the company and the
War department, which turned over
all the surplus harness and saddles to
the company, was signed.
Prior to this an option upon this
surplus had been given to the COM
pnny, and following its execution
Goetz resigned his commission and
signed the contract with the War de-
partment as president Of the United
States Harness company. His associ-
ates were officers Of the company.

,when Can Corn Be Used Probably

When Can Corn Be Used PrOfitably
for Fuel? The advisability of burn
ing corn for fuel depends upon Sc
many things that no hard and fast
rule can be laid down to meet condi-
tions in all localities. In Iowa, where
large quantities of coal are mined
and can be delivered without long
hauls, state college Investigators say
that nothing is to be gained by burn
ing corn for fuel.
:, But Prof. E. A. Stewart, of the ag-
ricultural physics section of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, believes that
with the price of corn at Is cents and
less a bushel, and when it requires
from 10 to 80 pounds of corn on the
cob to make bushel, some farmers
can better afford to burn their corn
than to market it.
ssWhen corn is used for burning,
he says, "it gives between $500 and
5000 British thermal units of heat a
pound, while coal gives 10000 to l3,-
900 B. T. U. for each pound Accord
ing to that it would require two tons
of corn on the cob to give as much
heat as one ton of coal. Coal prices
now range from one-half to one cent
a pound. Corn at one-fourth cent a
pound might profitably be used for
fuel"
Corn, however, Prof. Stewart en-
phasizes, has some speculative value
which may be higher than 20 cents a
bushel, whereas coal has none. II
corn must be sold because of lack OF
storage capacity or lack Of funds, and
coal must be bought, it is better to
burn the corn, with its price at 25
cents a bushel or less, than coal at
the prevailing prices of coal, he says.
The cost of hauling the corn to town
and the coal back must be considered,
he explains, in deciding what to do.
"The man who has wood to cut
should never burn corn" Prof. Stew
art says. Labor on the farm is too
cheap to make this profitable"

NV Associated PreSs)

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA, June Is.
Harvest season has turned Oklahoma
into a hive of industry and along the
highways and byways the hum and
throb of harvest life holds forth.
Wheat and oats that were cut near
ly fortnight ago in the extreme
southwest portion have been threshed
and slowly the threshing outfits are
creeping northward and westward in
the wake of the falling grain. An
other ten days to two weeks and the
harvest wave will have crossed the
state line into Kansas, from whence
it will push, always northward, into
Nebraska and the Dakotas.
Approximately 3,050,000 acres of
wheat and 100000 acres Of oats will
fall before the sickle, according to
John A. Whitehurst, president of the
state board of agriculture. The con
dition of both grains had improved
materially during the two weeks pre-
ceding harvest, he said, owing to plen
/ tiful moisture, and only unfavora bic
climatic conditions at harvest wou!c
reduce an estimated yield of about
36,0OO,000 bushels of wheat and So
| 100000 bushels of oats.
Last year, the 100000 acres of
! wheat harvested in Oklahoma pro-
! duced 100000 bushels of grain.
/ while the 10000 acres OF oats yield
