Two Popular Policemen Surprised.
On Sunday, July 15th, when Patrol
man XV. E. Philemon and Motorcycle
Policeman XV. Or Allen journey quietly
together to their respective homes on
Allison Street to partake of their usual
Sunday dinner, they found everything
seemingly gone wrong. At the Allen
home there was no family and no dinners
but just up the street it looked as if
half the Gibson village had swarmed
like a hive of bees and settled around
the Philemon domicile. These men.
however, are accustomed to unraveling
dark and baffling mysteries and they ad
vanced upon this one with martial tread
and determined air. Like the true dis
ciples of Sherlock Holmes that they are
they soon picked up a clue and. hanging
to it doggedly, they speedily arrived at
the heart of the matter which proved to
be an immense table in the yftrd loaded
lown with a magnificent dinner.
And Eli said to Allen, “I’m forty-four
rears old today.”
And Allen said to Eli, “Yes, and as T
live. I'm thirty-five.”
And that is what it was all about.
The good wives and willing friends of
hose faithful defenders of the city had
planned a surprise birthday dinner for
hem and pulled it off in great style.
A minister was there and proper
'race was said. The Chief was there
md proper dignity was had. And Imp
ly folks (Happy Fowlkes) were there
md everybody had a good time.
The out of town participants were Mr.
md Mrs. George Russell and Mr. and
Mrs. Mike Talley and children, of Halis
niry: Mrs. Nora Helms and children,

HERMAN PRESSES GRIND D| T
MARKS ALL DAY AND NIGHT
Production Problems Increase; 500-Mark
Notes Worth No More Than Paper
They Require.
Berlin, July 18.—Forth-one German
minting plants, working day and night,
lisgorged 17.503,811),142 marks' worth of
fresh paper money every hour during
he first week in July, according to fig
ures available today. The total paper
currency circulation on July 7th was
20,241.782,006.000 marks, an increase of
1.050.721.010.000 over June 30. The
iluminum coinage in circulation in
•reaxed in the same period from 1.000.-
>OO.OOO marks to 20.200.000.000.
The printers are working three shifts
•overing the entire 24 hours .evdry day
n the week.* Tt is unofficially stated
'bat no note tinder the face value of
1.000 marks will be printed in the fit-'
'tire, as it costs more than the note it
self actually is worth to print any of
lie smaller denominations. The pro
bation of a 100-mark note costs many
rimes its face value, and a 500-mark
note is worth no more than the paper
used.
A curio collector is said to be paying
from five to ten times the face value of
certain old 100-mark and 1.000-mark
notes, declaring those printed from cop
per plates are the only ones acceptable
abroad, as the later ones, printed from
type, are refused because they are too
easily counterfeited. This is discredit
ed in some quarters on the belief that
counterfeiters would lose money by pro
ducing false notes of such low denomina
tions.
All the notes now are being printed
from type, in order to increase the out
put of the presses. The Federal print
ing plant alone is able thus to issue 14,-
4(W>0,000 different notes daily, while only
one-tenth o fthis quantity would be pos
sible if copper plates were used. Fur
thermore it takes six months to prepare
one copper plate. Even the new million
mark notes which are to be issued short
ly will be printed from type.
According to Montag Morgen, a new
Berlin weekly, a publishing house, which
is one of the plants of Hugo Stinnes. has
a monopoly on the printing of currency
under the control of the Reichsbank.
This firm sublets contracts to some 30
other printers.
Aside from the unusual increases in
paper and aluminum money circulation,
there is an increase of 3.508.02!),150,000
in discounted treasury bills, which "on
July 7 totalled nearly 22.000,000,000.000
marks.

[ WHEAT WORTH $1 IN HOGS
Kansas I'rgod by College to ‘"‘Sell”
Product to Swine.
I Kansas City Star.
pressure of new crop wheat caused
I the fharket to break sharply Tuesday.
I Kansas’City futures fell 3 1-4 to 3 5-8
j cents while Chicago prices dropped 3 to
13 1-2 cents. . Cash wheat was 1 to 3
lower in Kansas City, with hew wheat
selling at 03 to 08, or about 70 cents
|at most country points, lowest in more
j than a year. Arrival of the first car
of new wheat in Chieago caused the
September price there to drop to sl. I
Manhattan, Kas. —H. Umberger, head
of the extension service in Kansas, ad
vised the sixty agricultural agents under
his direction Monday to eacourage farm- j
ers to feed their wheat to hogs. The
present market situation, which has \
never been paralleled in the history of
the state, makes it possible for the j
wheat grower to “sell” liis product i
through hogs for $1 a bushel, compared |
with the average price of about 75 cents
paid at elevators.
“Kansas hog producers* are at a loss
to know. how to.meet the unusual con
dition which confronts them,” said C.
G. Filing, swine specialist at the Kansas
State agricultural college, who has just
returned from a ten days’ * tour through
the wheat belt. In Commance county
and elsewhere Mr, Elling found men
hauling wheat to market, receiving 70
cents for it, while their underweight
spring pig litters were being fed a scant
grain ration of 90-cent corn pntil the
new crop matured.
Elling pointed out to these men the
comparative feeding value of wheat and
corn. He showed that by feeding wheat
instead of corn at the present prices
the farmer would save $2,26 on each one
! hundred pounds/of* pork, produced. He
also showed them that the value of such
procedure would be augmented by the
! part that it would permit the feeder to
I finish his hogs in September and Oc
| tober, before the customary slump in
| market price following tile new corn crop
i and the dumping of hogs on the market
|by Corn Belt feeders. Also by reduc
| ing the surplus of wheat there would
| be a tendency to enhance the market
I value of wheat.
j According to experiment station tests,
i wheat 70 cents a bushel will produce
[ 100 pounds of gain on 100-pound slioats
[at a cost of SO.OO. Corn at 00 cents a
bushel will make the same gain for
I $8.32. when both are fed with a 10 per
| cent, tankage ration. The difference is
i a net saving of $2.20. Without the
[ tankage supplement the margin is favor
! of wheat is even higher.
I Kansas farmers are now receiving on
| thg average less than 75 cents for the
| common run of wheat. Due to late
I frosts and excessive rain in the ripen
; ing period, a relatively large per centage
1 of the crop is low grade and practically
| unsalable. Corn, on the other hand, is
| high priced, -with little chance of becom
jling cheaper before fall. With prices of
; the' two stable crops of Kansas reversed,
; the bog raising business has arrived at
[ an unprecedented situation.
| According to Mr. Elling. nothing is to
| lx* gained by mixing wheat and corn,
i half and half, unless it would be a slight
| difference in the yuality of the pork.
; Although wheat is richer in protetiu
I than corn, the specialist advises a pro-
I tein supplement for most economical
| gains. Hogs on pasture will do well
jou a 5 per cent, tankage ration. Shriv
-1 eled wheat runs higher in protetiu than
| th(‘ better grades.
i Whole wheat should not be fed to
| hogs. Coarse grinding or cracking im
j proves the feeding value from 10 to 22
j per cent. Wheat grotind too fine forms
| a stick mass in the hog’s mouth and
| should be fed only in a slop.
A self-feeder is a satisfactory method
of feeding the ground wheat. The tank
age can be fed in a separate compart
ment or mixed with the wheat. Seven
ty-cent wheat makes it advisable to put
