industrial life OF the city. he is a true
Mishawakan. Few men, If any. are
so peculiarly well qualified TO ad-
minister the affairs of Mlshawaka as
Billy Dodge.
Elect Billy Dodge
II Is said that Billy" Dodge is too
young to be Mayor. that he has had
no political experience. That is the
strongest political indictment that
his opponents can bring against him.
The old order changeth and Mish
awake voters have come to know
that the mayor Of a city like Misha-
waka need have no political exper-
fence. that instead OF such experience
being an asset II is a liability. Billy
Dodge's experience has been business
experience, executive experience. He
knows how 10 conduct the affairs OF
a big business and successfully con-
Quoting the affairs OF city ike
Mishawaka is about the biggest busi-
ness in the city. Mishawaka needs
a strictly business administration.
Billy" Dodge is essentially a bust
ness man. He is not weighted with
the anchor OF political experience.
The clarity OF his business vision is
not marred or clouded by a tradition
al adherence 10 politics. The con-
siderations OF politics have no place
in his mind 50 far as the business Of
the city is concerned He feels that
"a mayor he can have but one fun
damental thought and that is the
business Of the city. All other con-
siderations. political and otherwise
must be subordlnated
Then they say that he Is too young
70 be mayor OF Mishawaka If youth
is a bar then our political. economic
and military history is a myth.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the immort-
al Declaration Of Independence when
far less than so years old. William
Jennings Bryan made his now IA

30th year. and which resulted In his
nomination as a presidential candi-
date. II Billy" Dodge is old enough

CARELESS ABOUT PACKAGES
In Six Months 54,40S Have Been Re-
turned TO Senders

Kansans apparently are careless In
preparing their packages for ship
ment, In the six months ending
April 1, "a, 40S pa l,agcs improperly
marked or goods in containers INSULT
GENTLY strong to hold them, were
ordered returned To- the consigners by
the Western Weighing and Inspec-
ton Bureau.
Hutchinson had the least number
of packages returned for proper
marking or packing, of any city In
the bureaus report. Only slxty-three
packages We're returned there In the
entire six months. In Topeka 1905
of such packages were returned.
The weighing and inspection bu-
reau is urging its representatives,
through the chambers of commerce TO
give publicity to this condition In
order that it may he remedied.
The local postoffice carries sign
near the parcel post window "If you
care rap. wrap with care"

PUEBLO HAS A PLENTY
No Need of Further Aid to the Strick.
en- City

G. f. Scott who is motoring to
California says tourists are not allow
ed to stop in Pueblo but are convoy
ed through the city by troops at II
a. m. and 3 p. IN. He says:
''These troops are not doing police
duty merely but are hard at work
rebuilding bridges. battering down
dangerous walls, trucking away and
burning the disease breeding debris
of the food. The carcasses of more
than 400 domestic animals have been
thus disposed of besides uncounted
tons of muck, decaying vegetables,
fruit and the like. Among ouner
things the military found 1t neces-
sary to carry away and burn car
load of fresh beef that the sympath-
etic people of some ncighboripg city
shipped in for the relief of the food
victims but which spoiled before it
could be used. As nearly always
happens the extent Of the disaster
great as 1t was. has been exaggerated.
Pueblo has at no time lacked for
food. and only half Of the tentage for
1000 people, sent down from Den
yer with commendablc promptness,
has been actually used. The Red
Cross was on the job right away. as
it always is being directed by that
organization.

KANSAS PLAYS BIG PART
Is Biggest Wheat Producer of Any
Political Unit

While Kansas is pictured as one
vast field Of golden wheat and as the
world bread basket" citizens may
not realize what large part the
state plays in the production OF
wheat.
Figures just compiled by ]. c.
Mohler, secretary of the State Board
Of Agriculture, shows that Kansas
produced the enormous total of 6S1,-
24S, 900 bushels in the six-year per-
iod ending with the 1919 crop. In
that time this state produced more
wheat than the whole of Australia,
and from onp-half TO two thirds as
much as the Argentine, Italy. France
or Canada.
Kansas wheat was more than one
tenth Of the total raised in the en-
tire United States.
As far as winter wheat is CON
cerned-and practically all Kansas
wheat is winter Mheat-Kansas
ranks first as the largest producer of
hard wheat Of any political unit in
the world. This record has been es-
tablished since Russia was elimin-
ated as surplus wheat producer.

DOES 1T ALL AT ONCE
Combined Harvester-Thresher Is At
tracing Attention of Farmers

Combined Harvester-Threshe Is At
tracing Attention of Farmers
On the Boiler land, southwest of
the city five miles, is being operated
a new Observation-Disclosures that is at
tracing much attention. The ma
chine cuts a twelve foot swath and
is drawn by tractor. 1t heads the
grain, elevates it inta q compact
thresher operated by small motor ;
the wheat is separated and winnow-
ed, the screenings going INTO a sack
and clean wheat through a langsspout
into a wagon driven alongside. The
straw is scattered from straw car
rier at the rear and goes back on the
land. The machine requires three
men, one on the tractor. one on the
thresher. one to drive the. team. Two
teams are used, one going to the
granary while the other wagon is be-
ing filed. 1t cuts 25 to 40 acres a
day, according to the length Of the
day. The field in which it is work
ing covers 800 acres and the work.
ers estimated that it will yield about
~ bushels an acre. The machine
marks a revolution in harvesting and
should be saver Of expense.

Motorists Get Lost

The average motorist seems to be
rather slow to read signs. Every day
four or. five motorists from the west
go off past Buckeye down East Third.
Yet at Buckeye is a sign on one cor
ner showing the road to Kansas City,
on the other a Golden Belt sign and
the Golden Belt is marked all up
Buckeye Maybe it needs larger
signs. The route through the bust
ness section should be marked and
probably will be when the Y. p.
highway is marked.

AGRICULTURE PRACTICAL

educational agriculture Is a prac.
| Heal study of farming for boys In
high school who intend to live ON the
farm" says Prof, Oscar Stcansou OF
the department of vocational agricul.
ture OF the Abilene high school. "The
farm and not the school laboratory Is
made The basis OF the work. Actual
practice Is given ON the farm. For
instance. the department had the
championship judging team of the
state this year, but the things which
the boys didn't know about livestock
Mt the first of the year was astonish
ing--and they bad worked around
livestock all their lives. Besides
judging practice the feeding, breed
ing. care and management of the
various farm animals Is studied.
1.-TWO courses will be offered at the
high school In vocational agriculture
next year. The course In animal
hushandry will he repeated for those
boys taking agriculture for the first
year. Work in farm shop is given
in connection with this course. The
second course VIII De LOT the SecOHu
year students who will take up the
study of the production of farm
crops, soil management, fertility and
farm insects with their control. Farm
mechanics and engineering is offered
In connection with this course"
This is the third year OF vocation
nj agriculture at the local high school,
The enrolment has increased the
last two years and further increase
is anticipated for the coming year.
A large number have already indi-
Gated their intention Of taking the
work next year.
Vocational agriculture is new
idea i'm education. The parents on
the farm cooperate with the school
to make the instruction practical.
Prof. Steanson says If any parents
have boys who are Interested in this
kind of work they should call him at
the high school and he will call OH
them to explain more fully the nature
of the work. This Is especially I'm
portant as the approval of the in
structor is necessary before the stu
dent is permitted to enroll.
