Power Distributed This democratic distribution of power in America is producing striking economic changes in the American people, for the possession of power and the accumulation cf wealth go i hand in hand. [ The average citizen of America to- ■ day possesses great power shares in j the benefits of much more. He not i only has unprecedented wealth, but he has even more credit. He lives in quarters that maintain luxuries to the I aristocrats cf former ages. He poss esses a surplus of this world's goods and many therefore be spoken of as a rich man. He is possessed of all advantages of the rich. "The accumulation cf power, and ‘ particularly of mechanical power, is resulting in profound moral changes, also.” OBITUARY Annis Merfca daughter of John and Rebeca Wood was born in Meiggs county, Ohio.

RUSH THRASHING IN KANSAS WITH NEW HARVESTER By Vernon E. Moore, IN'S Stuff Coreurpondent Kansas City.—-Over 20,000 Combined harvesters and threshers manned by Kansas farmers sweltering under the hot July sun are proving for another year that the salvation of (he golden wheat grains depends in large measure upon the speed with which tile machines are able to get the crop out of the fields. The eighth anniversary of the inauguration of the combines into usage in the Kansas fields is being celebrated with a record breaking ] crop both in quantity and quality. Record Year The machine has never shown its real worth until this year, grain men say. It is imperative to the harvesting of the crop in the short time the weather allows. The versality of the machines was questioned when nigh winds battered down much of thet ripened stalks. The Kansans merely attached ‘‘hail hooks" to their machines and proceeded in even a better manner than could have been done with the old binders. Does Quick Job "Time, time, time!" the cry of countless farmers as protest against a threatened change in the harvesting weather is being combated by this machine which does not wait for a threshing come along weeks later to save a damaged crop. Instead of the delay between cutting and threshing, efficiency has been set up wherein the wheat cut, threshed and loaded into awaiting trucks ’ and wagons as the gigantic machines cut huge swathes in the ocean of ripened yellow blades of wheat. o Berlin Suburb To Hold Celebration Os First Electric Street Car (By International News Service Berlin — The celebration by Lichterfelde. a subutb of Berlin, of its 50tli anniversary recalls the fact that It can in 1931 celebrate another semicenten ial.

A year later h< began building a narrow-gauge railway for the then existing cadet school in Lichterfelde. A power-plant and electric street cars were constructed. The work was completed in 1881. The curent was transmitted through a third rail: not until several years
