AYaUerscheid Bros, are now making two devices which were recently invented. One is a device for raising the wheat that Is down so it can be cut by the sickle, and was invented by Myers White, wheat raisers of Navina. Oklahoma. The device is a simple one and consists of an iron bar about two feet long and an iron rod fastened at one end near the end c the bar and raising with a gradual incline until It is about seven inches J above it at the other end. T n of these j are placed on the sickle bar of the binder. and the iron bar shis under th fallen i wheat and iht rd gradually raises the i hfad until it is sewn inches atne th WATERY EYES And all annoying symptoms of May fever Instantly relieved. Half of the battle is won in the treatment of Hay Fever by attacking the first symptoms. Many cases that run an en tire season could be prevented and quickly cared by the use of Himrod's Asthma Cure a fev davs before expected attuk. It ned not be taken on faith alne.

Walterscheid Bros, have just completed the making of 2,000 of these, or enough to fit out two hundred machines. Several Implement men and wheat Raisers have examined the device, and think it will do all that is claimed for it. If it proves successful, it will save maney thousands of dollars annually for Kansas wheat raisers. The other device is an aluminum stirrup strap buckle, the invention of Charles Nix, a cattleman of Waynoka, and is to take the place of the lace strap leather. It is claimed that it is better than the stirrup strap leather, since in wet weather the leather is liable to stretch or break, which might result in a serious accident. Since the buckle is made entirely of alu minum, lightness and durability are points also claimed in its favor. BULLS IN EVIDENCE. Harvest Hand Market Was Forced Skyward. An effort was made here Monday even ing to bull the harvest hand market, and the price of a harvest hand was rapidly advanced to three dollars a day. For several days Mr. Hartman had been in the city in quest of harvest hands, and he was trying to turn three or four hundred hands to the wheat fields in his county. Until Monday evening he was the only large buyer on the market, and the wages paid the hands ranged from J2.00 to $2.25 a day. At this time, how ever. La Crosse interests appeared in the field and were strong buyers for Rush county. The bulls had control of the market, and the price soared rapidly sky ward until yesterday it rested on 13.00 a day. Mr. Hartman was fortunate, how ever, in having already secured almost as many hands as was needed In his county. This is the ilrst time this season in Wichita that an effort has been made to bull the harvest hand market. AFTER MORE TRADE. Ross Brothers Sending Out Crop Re view Editorial. Ross brothers of this city have sent a circular letter to all the fruit growers in Texas, Colorado and Arizona, who con signed strawberries to this market. With each letter was enclosed a copy of an editorial in the Eagle of June 30th, under the head: "Why doesn't this mean pros perity." The editorial referred to reviewed the crop prospects for Kansas. Wichita being in the center of the great wheat and corn belt of Kansas makes her the notinal and most convenient center from which fruis can be sent to consumers. Ros? brothers were using the editorial to impress this idea on the fruit raisers in the states named. The Hoods for a time cut off Topeka and Kansas City from this tr-ide. Large shipments of berries were turnod to this city and without any previous notice th. produce dealers demonstrated t'.ieir abil ity" to handle the large trade and con signers have expressed their sati.iiaction with the returns. It is estimated that over 30,000 crates of strawberries were handled by the Wicnita dealers. Ross brothers did an immense business. The J. D. McEwen Prodtie Cc last year handled 100 to 150 crates a day and this year they handled 150 to 100 a day. Rqss brothers this year handled about six times as many crates as last year. Wichita dealers are going after this trade with good prospects of c orrelling it. They are not the least bit modet about it but boldly assert that Wichita ?s go ing to be the great central berry market for the southwest. THE PEOPLE ALL In Chorus Cried: Give Us Newbro's Herpicide. This word of late has been in every one's mouth, and many are wondering what the word signiiies, though no one has yet been found who will deny that Newbro's Herpicide does the work. Well, for the information of thousands of people who like to know all about a good thing, we would say that Herpicide means, a destroyer or killer of "Herpes," Now "Herpes" is the family name of a disease caused by various vegetable parasites. A similar microbe causes dandruff, itching scalp, and falling hair; this is the microbe that Newbro's Herpicide promptly des troys: after which the hair grows. Sold by leading druggists.

Notice was received here yesterday that Adjutant General S. H. Kelsey has de cided to make no further effort, for the present at least, to equip the Kansas national guard with Krag-Jorgensen ri fles. He sent an order for 1.809 guns, just enough to equip the gunrd and leave 200 guns in the arsenal as a reserve. The war department, owing to the unwinding of a great deal of red-tape, decided that Kansas could have new guns only for the number of men who turned out at the last inspection. This ruling cut down the number of rifles Kansas could draw to less that 1.200. Adjutant General Kel sey is confident that he can get the mat ter straightened out and the full number of rifles desired issued the state, but he says that there Is no use trying to fix up the matter now as it would take a month or more to do so. The fall military maneuvers w ill be held at Fort Riley eith er in September or October and If the membersi of the guard did not receive tho new rifles until some time In August they ciuld not become accustomed to their use before the maneuvers and they would not be up in the manual af arms. For this reason Mr. Kelsey thinks it beat to let matters stand a they are and have the men go to the encampment armed with the old Springfields. Afterwards, he can take the matter of getting new rifles up with the department again. MANY MORE ENROLLED. Normal Institute Continues to Grow in Numbers.

WHEAT TO BISCUITS In One Day Is Record of Haven Man BISCUITS MADE OF WHEAT Cut Same Morning, Faten by Dan Broutoger When a field of Kansas wheat can be transformed into buscuits between the time of the rising of the sun in the morning and the setting in the evening it appears that there is little chance for improvement over the present system of handling wheat, but that is Just the con dition of affairs in Sedgwick county at the present time. Dan Brontager, of Haven, sent a sam ple sack of Hour to the city yesterday which early yesterday morning was a part of a field of wheat. Between sun up and sun down the wheat was cut, hauled to the thresher, threshed, hauled to the mill, ground into tiour, hauled back home and served on the tatne for supper in the form of delicious biscuits. He states that the new wheat makes excellent bread and the sample of flour received is as white as snow. Mr. Brontager is one of the progressive farmers around Haven and always farms for there is in it. The wheat from which the biscuits were made tested as C2 pounds to the bushel and made an average of 31 bushels to the acre. This is a big yield even fer Sedgwick county this year and one of which Mr. Brontager is justly proud. REPORTER HAS A "COMP."
