SENATOR M'kINLEY
 DIES IN 10TH YEAR
Was a Veteran Member of the
 Upper House

Martinsville. Ind, Dec. P- Senator William B. Mckinley of H. linois died at the Homelawn Sani- tarium here at 4:10 p. m. yesterday. Death followed an illness of sever al months. He was brought here the latter part of August i'll from prostatic cancer. He was 70 years old.
 Senator Mckinley's body will be taken by train to Indianapolis and thence to Champagne, H., where funeral services will be held Fri day.
 Senator Mckinley, after recup- erating to some degree from major operation performed last spring q; Baltimore, became critically ill dur ing the early part of September. due to pneumonia complication. The veteran senator, however, overcamt this attack and during the early days of October was well enough tt take an interest in the World Serics baseball contest. Since then, hi strength had been gradually weak ening.
 Friends of Senator Mckinley de clared that the last session of Con gress sapped his strength consider ably, as did the strenuous primary campaign In which he was defeated for re-nomination by Colonel Frank l.. Smith.
 Senator McKinley's public service dates from the first Roosevelt ad- ministration, during the intervening o2 years, he was chairman and treasurer of the congressional com mittee and latar became secretary of the senatorial committee. He managed the campaign of William Howard Taft for president in 1912.
 He was early in his career. re- puted to be one of the wealthiest men in congress, according to his private secretary, c. A. Willough by
 Tn recent years however. he con- ducted campaign of donations to charitable institutions Mir. Will loughby said, and in the last eight or ten years he probably donated between s10,0O0.o0o and s12.00O,0o0 in private and public philan- thropies,"
 He maintained the Mckinley Working Girls Home in Chicago and the Sarah Hasl1ett Stevenson Homo for Girls, the latter institution being a day nursery accommodating about 200 babies. His most recent dona- tion was s500,0o0 to a hospital fund of the University of Illinois.
 Senator McKinley's great hobby has always been the education Of boys,' said his secretary, flor in stance, the Mckinley fund at the University of Illinois for seniors to whom money is loaned to enable them to complete their final college year. He always puts the young man on his honor."
 The death of Senator Mckinley brought to three the number O. senators who have died since the close of the last session of congress Senator Albert B. Cummins, and Senator Bert NJ. Fernald of Maine, all were republicans.

WHEAT BRINGS ONE
FARMER $40 BLJ.
WILLIAM BAUMAN DISPOSES OF
PRIZE WINNING CEREAL
FANCY SEED
Bought Original Seed from Canadian
Grain Growers Two Years Ago;
From Four Bushels Raised 78 Bu-
shells.

Forty dollars per busheI for
wheat is thought to be a record
price for that cereal in the United
States. William Bauman, a sue
cessfuI farmer living northeast OF
Conrad, received that price for a
busheI of Marquis wheat, from his
1925 crop, exhibited at the Mid
land Empire fair at Billings this
fall.
This bushel of wheat won the
sweepstakes prize against all entries
from all over the state, and was test
ed by several of the largest milling
concerns. 1t was raised from two bu-
shells of registered seed from the Can
adian Grain Growers association,
purchased two years ago.
From four bushels of this wheat
seeded in 1925, Mr.. Bauman raised
IS bushels. In 1925, he sowed the
78 bushels, from which he harvest
ed 1900 bushels of fancy wheat this
fall.
Mr.. Bauman already has received
a number of inquiries as to how
much of this wheat he has for sale.
He believes he will receive a fancy
price for seed purposes.
This is the second time Pondera
county wheat has won the highest
honors against all competitors. ].
Saunders of Manson captured the
sweepstakes prize at the Internation-
al show at Chicago in 1914. This was
against entries from all over the
world.
