Electricity Improves Wheat Harvest
ing Facilities.
During the wheat harvesting season
in Dickinson county, Kansas, this
year, threshing was done electrically
for the first time, so far as it is
known, in the history of the state. A
group of farmers in one locality were
unable to engage a steam outfit for
the time is was desired They there
fore Joined together, forming coop
erative association, issued stock to
the amount of $1,000 and bought a
separator and fair sized motor. With
this equipment they threshed their
wheat. obtaining electric current from
the transmission lines of lighting
company supplying energy to towns
in that vicinity.
Nearly all Of the farms in the inn
mediate district could be reached
from some point of the transmission
system with 1,00O-foot conductor ca
BILE. Hands were traded back and
forth so that the labor question way
readily solved. The services of a
mechanic were acquired and the
equipment kept In good running order.
AS result of their trouble the farm
ers reduced their threshing expenses
so per cent. cutting the cost per BUSH
el from 5 to 4 cents. This saving paid
for the equipment. which will be de-
pended upon in the future.-Popular

Hopeless Tasks

You might travel all day on a swift
horse, said Costing, Ind not find a

well concealed you'd need a search
warrant to locate them.
"Yet Jessie Twaddle is going to
marry him at high noon one of these
days, and Jessie is as fine as silk. I'd
like to have nineteen daughters just
like her, / admire her so much. And
she is going to marry that cheap skate
with the idea Of reforming him. She
might as well try to reform the village
dump by spraying rosewater on it.
Such misfit marriage makes me
Esore."

bystander can do" mourn. ully confess

human beings positively refuse to
learn anything from the experience Of
others. They must pile up lot Of
their own experience at a frightful
cost, before they get wise.
IF Jessie Twaddle would look
around and consult her elders she find
many instances where girls married
four flushers to reform them. and !
doubt whether she'd find one instance
where the plan worked out. But every
girl thinks things are going to be diff

"Mr. and Mrs. Alum live next door

Keeps lite Original Aspect After ceS,

Bernalillo is a little town OF abouV
thousand, practically all Mexican.
just twenty miles from Albuquerque.
the metropolis Of New Mexico. and
on the main line Of great transcon-
tinental railroad. 1t was there before
Albuquerque was thought of, and it
has not changed greatly since its
founding. At Barnalillo you may see
the life Of New Mexico as it was after
the days of the conquistadores, and
before the Missourians and Texans
began moving in.
The town is strewn all along one
somewhat crooked thoroughfare,
which is heavily shaded in summer by
the generous spread of very old cot
tonwood trees. The low abode
houses are generously far apart, each
surrounded by purple tinted alfalfa
patch, little square of orchard and
chile field. There are several very
old churches and church school that
has been there so long and gone
about it's business so quietly that no
one seems to know much about it. The
life of the place moves to a leisurely
tempo.
Once Bernalillo was great center
of the sheep industry, and one man
who lived there was accounted the
greatest sheep owner of his time. His
fortune has been divided among many
descendants, now, and the family,
like most OF the other old Spanish
families, has lost its baronial position
and power. Modern times have also
brought Bernalillo a big trading
store, and the lands of the valley are
probably better farmed than ever be-
fore. But the leisurely Spanish was
of the place and its curious sixteenth
century aspect have remained un.
changed.
