PROGRESSIVE
LOCAL DEALER
Contracts for Representation of
Almost Revolutionary Corn
Husking Implement

Almost revolutionary is the newest
method of picking and husking the
corn crop. 1t is now done by ma
chinery instead of by the old time,
old fashioned, hand-cracking, back
breaking method. The implement in
question picks and husks an acre an
hour instead of a few bushels per
day. 1t does it while the operator is
riding on a spring seat and does it
at a cost of only three or four cents
per bushel, according to Carity Mo-
tors of Redwood Falls who is just
progressive enough to want to pro-
vide every corn grower of any siz-
able acreage with one of these labor
saving, money-making devices.
The direct appeal is immediate cost
saving in putting a big corn crop into
the crib. A man and a boy or a
couple of boys for that matter, can
easily pick more corn and do it bet
ter and cheaper than half dozen Sc
called champions" There is no ex-
ira crew for the housewife to feed
no dread of the weather, no more
lame backs or skinned knuckles.
Corn picking by this new method i:
easier than harvesting grain though
it is accomplished in much the same
manner. One man to drive the trac
tor and another to haul the husket
corn away from the machine consti
tutes the crew, though two men x
haul corn away from the machine al
most doubles its capacity.
This particular unit is the produce
of Belle City Manufacturing Com
pany of Racine, Wisconsin, a com
pany which has been in successful
operation for nearly half century
and is being offered for sale in thi
community by Carity Motors, Inc
we'll known to all progressive farm
ers and town folks as well.
Picking corn at the rate of an acr
an hour means this hardest mos
trying and most despised of all farm
operations has finally been converte'
into a somewhat more or less pleas
ant task, one not to be longer despis
ed and hated and cussed. Corn grow
ers who are interested in such ma
chine, can see a sample on the displa.
floor at the above named place o
business.-Advt.

CURRENT QUESTIONS ON
HOOvER'S FARM RECORD

Number One: Did Mr.. Hoover, as
United States Food Administrator
fix the price of wheat during the
war?
Answer: Mr.. Hoover had nothing
to do with the price of wheat, except
to ask that a fair price be fixed and
that full justice be done to the far
mer.
The Food Control Act was passed
by Congress and became a law on
August 10, 1917. 1t authorized the
President to fix a guaranteed price
for wheat, but stipulated that the
crop grown in 1918 should have
minimum price of $500 per bushel.
1t did not provide for the 1917 crop,
which was then being harvested.
To provide for the 1917 crop, Mr..
Hoover suggested to President Will
son that he (the latter appoint an
independent committee to determine
a fair price for wheat. The allied
buyers in the United States had con-
solidated their buying into one hand,
and had intimated that they intended
to pay $3.50 per bushel for wheat
at Chicago.
In his letter to President Wilson,
Mr. Hoover wrote: "In order to do
justice to the producers, who have
shown great patriotism in a special
effort to increase production, it is
absolutely vital that we shall protect
the farmer from a slump in price
this year."
President Wilson appointed a COM
mittee of twelve, of whom six repre-
sented the farmers. This committee
fixed the basic price of wheat at
1920 per bushel. In his proclama-
ton announcing this decision, Presi-
dent Wilson said: "Mr. Hoover, at
his express wish, has taken no part
in the deliberations of the Committee
on whose recommendation | deter
mine the Governments fair price,
nor has he in any way intimated an
opinion regarding that price"
Later, to offset an increase In
freight rates, Mr.. Hoover voluntar-
lily increased the fixed price to 1925
per bushel.
Question for Next Week: Did Mr..
Hoover use the power of the Food
Administration to make the fixed
price of wheat a maximum price?

WAR OF BOO7BLACkS
 BREAKING OUT AGAIN
Shine Parl0r Owners Pro- test Against Free Lance
 Competitors

BootblaCks who rent places of business have united in a drive against the use of sidewalks and streets by their competitors. who are for the most part small boys who do business after school hours and on days when school is not in session.
 A petition to be presented 10 the common council is being circulated today and will be sent to the com- mon council for action at the meet ing which takes place June 20.
 It IS complained that the boys subject the petitioners to unfair competition since they have no taxes or overhead expenses and are there fore in a position to shine shoes for one-half the price charged in regu- larly established shops. The argu- nent is made that the persistencv of the youthful Workmen is such as 10 cause q serious annoyance to per- sons using the streets and that they impede foot travel. Tn the interests of merchants in general, the argu- ment is advanced that patrons of these boys stand with their backs against display windows and take from the advertising value and ef- tectiveness of window displays.

 Several years ago similar move ment was started. but it was voted down in the common council.

Massachusetts Legislators Are
 Perplexed Regarding Action In
 Attorney General Readings Case
Sudden Resignation of States Legal Authority Follow. ing His Impeachment by House of Representatives Leaves Leaders In Quandary as to
 Whether They Will Accept It.

Boston. June : RA-Leglslatlve leaders were perpleXed today to de 1 termlne their course of action in the impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Arthur K. Reading whose sudden resignation yesterday temporarily halted their plans 10 push the case through from the house to the senate.
 Having impeached the attorney general by an overwhelming vote on the previous day on charges of gross misconduct in office, the house of representatives had met 10 debate Ithe bill of impeachment when news of Readings action was conveyed 10 it in letter Of but a single, short sentence.
 Both the house and senate at once referred it to the joint rules commit tee. In answer to the belief of some leaders that the resignation automa- tlcaliy ended the proceedings. oth- CTS asserted that either the house or senate might refuse to accept it and proceed with the trial.
 Those who took the latter view declared that to drop the impeach- ment after having voted Reading guilty of gross misconduct would be to allow him to escape the conse- quences of his alleged acts
 The legislature has power to fill the office, if it decides it is vacant. but, it was pointed out. to take such action you'd proba blv end any chance of bringing Reading to trial before the senate. The joint rules committee to which the snarl was referred adjourned until next Tues day.
 Another possibility was the asser- ton Tn some quarters that if the resignation were accepted the legis- lature might forward to District Attorneys William J. Foley of Suf- folk and Charles B. Rugg of Wor- cester county for such action as they might see it, the complete rec ord of the special committee which Readings conduct.
 Readings impeachment was bas- ed largely upon his dealings in this city and New York with officials Of the Decimo club, Inc, from whom he accepted a secret fee of $c5,0oo and with the United L. A. W. cor poration of Worcester in which he q reorganization.
 Readings resignation had hardly been read when Joseph F.. Warner, one of his assistants, announced his

Wilbur Tells Annapolis Grads U. 5. Government Is In Favor of
 Efficient Equipment for Navy
Says Policy of 1884 Has Changed So That Permanent Force of Officers Is Believed Necessary - Navy Maintained So That it Can Fight on Par
 With Any World Power

Annapolis. Md. June ' tP-The American giyernment has changed its attltude toward navy prepared ness in recent years and believes in the maintenance of q permanent force of officers and efficient equip ment, Secretary Wilbur today told the 1928 graduating class at the nited States Naval Academy.
 Secretary Wilbur said that when he came into contact with the navy in 1884, the policy of the govern ment was to permit the navy to de- teriorate in equipment and person. but today the policy is 10 maintain its ships in high state of efficiency and to make continuous effort to eradicate any weakness that might be discovered.
 It is matter upon which you can be congratulated that you enter upon your service as officers in the navy at time when the policy of constant repair and Of major i'm provements to naval ships has be- come the fixed policy of the govern ment,' Secretary Wilbur said.
 He pointed out that the under taking of the modernization of Is of the nations Is capital ships retain ed under the Washington limitation conference present the most con- crete and definite, if not the very first, evidence of the intention of this nation 10 maintain its capital ships at alk times for immediate and effective service in war with the most modern naves of the world"
 Stressing the point, Secretary Will bur said that during the four years
