TIMKEN RANCH
NOW CUTTING
CROP OF FLAX

Flax harvest has begun on the
rimken ranch four miles south or
the Harold Bell Wright ranch of
which McGaw and Zimmerman are
proprietors.
BY means of a combined har-
Yester the flax seed is separated
from the straw. sacked and left in
the field IN one operation.
Wind damage to the valley flax
crop has been considerable and To-
Gusts have also caused q serious
dropping of the pods which Is
direct loss TO the farmer.
However. Fred Gunnerson, man
ager of the Timken ranches plans
TO pasture the flax stubble fields to
beef cattle which eagerly lick up
the fallen pods. The straw will al
so be fed to cattle and C. A. Nc
Cav has machine in operation
gathering up the flax straw and
transporting it to the cattle pens.
The seed pods make excellent
fodder with their nutritious oily
seeds but the straw has also been
found to beh ighly palatable to
cattle, containing as it does large
percentage of oil and other food
elements. In this food value 1t is
ahead of grain straw which is al
most entirely cellulose.
Flax seed prices are soaring at
present, high above any grain re-
turns, a bushel of seed bringing
$1.30 or more, fob. on coast mar
kets.
In charge of the harvesting Is j.
P. Fairbanks, extension specialist
IN agricultural engineering. He is
supervising the combined harvester
and making adjustments needed in
salvaging the seed The machine
has not been altogether successful
in extracting the full quota of seed
pods. But some new parts have
been ordered and will be installed
tomorrow and these it is believed
will give the growers a 100 per cent
harvest from now on.

STATE POLICE Do BIG
TASK In QUICK TIME
Teletypewriter Message Starts
Troopers Covering Bay State

The value of teletypewriter SER
vice was again demonstrated in Mas.
saehusetts, when a job which once
before required a whole month was
accomplished in only u hours and
seven minutes.
Back in 1927, Massachusetts, State
Police found it necessary TO make a
thorough investigation of all per-
sons and companies authorized 10
sell or use explosives in the state.
This proved tedious job. and it re-
quired month to finish it. Follow.
ing recent bombing in Worcester,
Mass, similar investigation of all
persons and companies in the state
authorized to sell or use explosives
was undertaken.
In the intervening time since 1927.
teletypewriter service had been in
troduced. This time, the Commits
sioner of Public Safety promulgated
the order at the State House by dis.
Pas~hAhS a hiSSSdSC hId lSitlf PEE
writer to the twenty-five State Pc.
lice troop headquarters and sub-sta.
tions throughout the Common
wealth.
The message soon had $50 troopers
out on the road. going into all parts
OF the state, and six hours after the
order for the check-up was issued,
30S of the 355 municipalities had re-
ported. BY 7:30 P. NJ, 341 reports
were received. The towns that were
heard from later than that were
slow simply because of the great
amount of territory that had to be
covered by the troopers. The last
report was received u hours and
seven minutes after the order had
been issued.

H club problems of organization
and operation are pretty much the
same all over the district. Though
fewer funds have been available

creased, and if projects are some
what less costly in nature than
formerly the young people are
learning a valuable lesson in max
ing out with what they have at
hand.
At the evening session the OPEN
ing feature was a short program
by Orange county s 50-piece All
band, a truly remarkable organi-
zation made up of boys Of from II

No BASEBALL
CAME TONIGHT

Owing to the Wilson field being
flooded and the improbability of its
drying sufficiently today to allow
its use tonight, the schedule for
this week in the night ball league
has been set back one day.
Instead of playing tonight as Or
iginally scheduled the Studebakers
and Fat Boys will meet Thursday
] night, with the other two games
on this weeks Tuesday and We'd
nesday.
The Studebakers' sensational up
set of the Coca Cola nine last week
! put them in the running for top
honors and they are out TO
strengthen their position. The Fat
Boys have yet to break into the
win column and will do their best
to achieve that object in this game.
Tomorrow night the Cramer
Bakery and Valley Laundry teams
will clash. The Laundry team has
played but one game so far this
season and lost that while the
Bakers have one lost and one won
in the standings.
The feature game of the week
will be played on Wednesday night
when Shirer Drug and the Coca
Cola mines meet. The druggists are
leading the league at present with
perfect score of two wins and no
losses and the bottlers are out TO
retrieve their setback of last week.
This should be corking good
game.
Chambers and Forshey will work
for the Studebakers Thursday night
with Carlson and Tackett announ-
ced as the batteries for the Fat
Boys. The game will start at 8
o'clock.

TWO BIRTHDAYS

Two men of widely different types,
each of whom has been prominent in the
worlds news for a long time, will reach
important milestones in their life journey
this month. Benito Mussolini is so
years old today, and Henry Ford will
be 70 tomorrow Both rose from hum
BILE beginnings.
In early life Mussolini worked as
common laborer, but managed to obtain a
fair education. He fought as a corporal
in the World War until he was wounded in
February, 1917 In 1919 he founded the
Fascist to suppress BoEshevism, and by
1922 it had 1000, 600 members 1t de-
manded that Mussolini head the govern
ment and he was made premier by the
king on October 80, 1922, since which time
he has been Italy's dictator His rule has
been stern, but on the whole, beneficial to
the country.
Henry Ford had only common school
education and began as machinist' s help
er, later becoming chief engineer of one
of Eaison's companies. He was pioneer
in the automobile field and employed more
than 100000 person at the height of pro-
duction before the depression, at which
time he was reputed to be worth a billion
dollars or more.
There is world of inspiration in the
study of these two men, who by their own
efforts have risen from obscurity to COM
handing places in their respective spheres
of action.
