“COMBINES” HARVEST KANSAS WHEAT THIS YEAR; MANY MEN ELIMINATED

By Ralph N. Swanson, (I’.P. Staff Correspondent) Kansas city, Mo., May i^—(UP)— Combines - squat, whirring machines Hull creep slowly across the limitless acres of waving wheat will this summer do the work of 25.000 harvest hands, hitherto imported each year from the east and north. Theerfore this season fewer college boys will earn money to pay for next year's schooling by shocking grain behind clanking binders or pitching grain from the header into mammoth threshers and fewer thousands of men will converge in Kansas, in June, to spread over the country lik«» locusts Io live off the harvest. By harvest time this year there will he in Kansas alone more than 12.000 combines, which will be able to harvest 6,000.000 acres of wheat without Ihe help of harvest hands. Already popular with owners of largo wheat acreages, they are now being purchased by owners of smaller tracts. Even in Missouri, where the binder has heretofore sufficed, small combines with 9-foot cuts are being distributed in large numbers. Tlie large combine, drawn by a tractor, cuts a 16-foot swath, threshes and classes ncrease, giving special attention to the work himself and using his ablest assistants. CREAMERY MEN GATHER HERE ('reamcry men from several states wore the guests today of the Cloverleaf Creameries, at a dinner served at noon at the Elks home in this city. Representatives from several of the largest creameries in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana were the guests of the local management. Among those present were E. L. Martin, president of the Cloverleaf Creamery. W. A. Klepper, manager of the local creamery was the host. o O. C. Poling Injured In Fall At Monroe O. C. Poling. 224 North Third street was painfully injured this morning when he fell from a tree in Monroe. The bones in one elbow were badly splintered. Mr. Poling was working for the town of Monroe when the accident occurred. He was brought to the Adams County Memorial hospital for treatment. ’* CARD OF THANKS M’e wish to thank our friends and relatives for the kindness am' words of sympathy shown and extended to us during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Mary A'hbaucher.

THE CHILDREN Trial Of'Goldie Frances Continues Bluffton, May 10. — The trial of Goldie Frances, charged with assault and battery with intent to commit a felony, continued in the Wells circuit court today. Little interest was being shown in the case as the evidence was presented. It is thought that it will take several days before the trial is completed. The giving of evidence started yesterday afternoon.

i.a ks the grain and spreads the straw In Its wake, all In one operation. One man drives the tractor, another runs the combine, and it third man haulsj the sacked gruln to the elevator In a truck. By this system the farnjer. tan harvest 50 to 75 acres a day against tewnty acres a day under the old system when he had 20 harvest hands, who had to be fed and provided with lodgings. Last year, although the coming of the combine was recognized by the Kansas College of Agriculture, culls for hired help were sent out which provided several thousand more men than were ueeded. As an aftermath, the agriculture department made a survey in the state and found that nearly 9,000 combines were used in the harvest in 1926. Since that time, a survey indicates, al least half that number will be added before the harvesting season this year. Factories are rushing their output on reports from salesmen that combine sales this spring will be greater than before. Six carloads of combines were unloaded in one day recently at Salina, Kansas, in the wheat belt. MRS. SNYDER AND GRAY CONVICTED (< <>vrixi i:i» I'imti rmn om:» I (United Press) —Condemned with her former lover to die in the electric chair for the murder of her husband, Ruth Snyder today was treated by [ physicians who fearsd her mind might have been affected by the strain of the trial. After a jury at 7 o’clock last night found Mrs. Snyder and Henry Judd Gray guilty of murder in the first degree, a verdict which carries the death penalty, the suburban housewife collapsed in her cell, became hyserical (and was in an epileptic condition when examined by two doctors. Opiates were administered and Mrs. Snyder slept fitfully. Three matrons and two keepers were assigned to guard her during the night. Judd Gray, the corset salesman adjudged equally guilty of the slaying of Albert Snyder, seemed to accept his fate. When he first reached his cell after being led from the court- | room where he had heard the verdict he. sank to his cot and wept silently. Then he looked tip. “I guess only God Almighty can help me now,” he told a jail attendant.
