Kyle, an ex-thresher, not long ago, the conversation drifted to the cost of threshing with high priced coal. He said, "If coal is as high during the coming threshing season is now, there will be no money in threshing for the same prices as those of past seasons and furnish the In his opinion there is only one way out 0f this predicament, and that is, a cheaper fuel will have to he used in coal. lne question naturally arises in reader's mind as to what kind of fuel can be substituted that will be cheaner and at the same time give satisfaction. There are two which in Mr. Kyle's opinion could be used instead of coal namely, oil or straw.

This has reference of course, to crude oil. Now as there is plenty of oil in Texas suitable to run an engine, this seems feasible. Oil from mere coum lie obtained at a atively small cost. According to Mr. Kyle an oi attachment could be placed on threshing engine for about fifty He thinks there would he no doubt that it would do the business.

The any lars. but onlv objection there would he, he thinks, to the use of oil is this: if all, or nearly ail the threshers put on oil burner attachments it would create a great demand for he oil, and as a consequence, the price of oil would be advanced until it would not be any cheaper than coal. The only fuel, then, that can't he controlled by a trust is straw. It would be impossible for a few men to advance the price, for the farmers alone produce the sfaw, therefore can burn as much of it as they please without any cost on their part. Straw is used almost entirely by the threshers in the Dakntas.

It. gives satisfaction, too. The writer was talking with a man a few years ago who had run a threshing machine in South Dakota for a number of years, and he said that it only took from three to four barges or header boxes of straw a day to run his engine. A straw burner attachment costs about the same as an oil burner attachment. It takes one more man a fireman.

Now if our threshers have to charge more per bushel to thresh our grain, in order to pay the exorbitant price demanded by the coal trust, it is well to consider what these threshers have said. It is a pertinent question, in our opinion. It is invariably the rule that if anyone has to lose by an inhuman demand of some trust, it is the man who follows the plow. Trusts and corporations seem to think that the farmer's shoulders are broad enough to bear all kin of burdens. He generally has to do so whether he wants to or not.

In fact he has nothing to say in the matter. He must simply grin and hear it. We would like to have soine of those fellows who take so much delight in grinding the farmers down, to put themselves in his place and see how they would enjoy it. It's our candid opinion that there would be aomething doin' about that time. Link Swisher of Crystal Springs returned Saturday from Wichita where he went to have his eyes treated for granulated eyelids.

is apparent that the gentleman of "well rounded anatomical contour" considers them in the Corbel class. One thing sure, Star Center did not have to run in a foreign player when they played Burchfiel, as Grove did when they played that team recently in Harper. Moreover, none of Ihe Star Ccrler team were guilty of displaying anv pugnaeioiisness, did one of the Crow players at the aforesaid game. Our advice to the drove correspondent is keep m'ini about the Star Center team's inclination to introduce "foot ball projects" in a basket ball game. N'ow if the Grove scribe thinks team is gifted with such wonderful "abilities." hy, tin have the several challer.ges from the Star Center team been turned down? Are they afraid? It surely looks that way.

The fact if it were not for the superior playing abilities of outside players, Grove would not have stood a ghost of a show in any of their match games, and as it waB, they always ran up against defeat.

Off comes our hat. There was a large crowd out to the telephone meeting at Star Center last Thursday evening, which indicates that farmers are interested in a rural tele phone line. Nothing definite was done at this meeting, owing to the fact that the committee appointed to obtain in formation concerning the cost of poles and wire, did not have sufficient time to find out Several soliciting committees were appointed to ascertain how many along the prop, ned route are willing to take shares at $10 per share. The investigators 'if this movement thought that $20 a mile oulil build a good line, this of course, does not include the cost of 'phones.

The consensus of opinion, however, among a majority of those present, was that a good, substantial line could not be built at that figure. According to good reliable authority it takes at least 25 poles to the mile. These poles will cost, if they are good ones, on an average of $1 each. It takes H55 pounds of wire, which costs 4J cents per pound. Good insulators will cost about 5 cents each.

The brackets and iron straps to brace Ahem will cost at least 20 cents per pole.

Grippe! Wonder who has not got the grippe? Russell Mingle and Charlie Barber are just re covering from a severe attack of what they called La Grippe. The masquerade party last Saturday night at G. Houser's was one of continuous pleasure, though a few of the young folks were absent, some on occount of sickness, others because it was too cold, and still others because they didn't want to go by themselves.

Noticing an item in the Shook news of the Bulletin last week that Charlie Barber and Ed Mingle attended a box social at Anthony and reported a fly time.

Be-sides the well known Indian corn there is raised in abundance Kafir corn and its kindred species.

Tne avwrage yield of common corn last year was 30 bushels per acre, and most ot the farmers are still holding their crop for higher prices. It is generally believed that he will get a good price for all he holds. One far mer was heard to say that if a man had a bin of corn he was sure of a pocket of gold. Some farmers complain that they can not get any profit out of the Kaffr corn seed, but that can be changed by using the excellent feed grinder which is for sale bv Mr Barber at Shook. When Kafir seed is ground it makes an excel lent feed for horses and cattle, Byron Travis and wife attended a family dinner Sunday at the Potter home near Star Center, Amanda Dolterer has returned home from Wichita where she hs been visiting friends for some time.
