Appointed Postmaster at Wichita. Capt. John H. Shields, a poet and master at Wichita, was a member of the platform committee of the Democratic convention held in Wichita in 1901. He offered an institute for the tabulation of handwriting, enforcing the law. The statute was adopted by the committee, and it was presented that form to the convention and there adopted. That was the first group of the hope of the Democrat party which culminated in their success at the polls in 1912. Mr. Shields, coor that as his greatest achievement in his many years of service to the cause of Democracy in Kansas. Capt. Shields is known by perhaps as many people in Wichita as any other man and practically every one he is acquainted with is his friend. Republicans, Democrats and persons of every political affiliation counted him as a trail of great merit as many fine parts. It was still prudent and grateful to his friends, to himself and to Democrat everywhere that one so to a trial and able worker and self counsel in the party should have, in this the first Democrat administration for twenty years, been chosen for the important position of postmaster for the in troops of the state of Kansas. The volunteer be passing through this office in order. Wichita is no longer a vital city and a great manufacturing, commercial and ship port, and this necessary makes the postoffice at this point a busy place and one of the most important ones in the country Capt. Shields is always on the fai and gives his time and attention to the various departments through the heads of each department and keep himself thoroughly upste us to use the business. At an offer the size of these one and transacting so much business there are of necessity many employees, clerks and others, but Capt. Shields knows all and is popular with them and to a marked degree is familiar with the working of each department. In his private life Capt. Shields has always been a hard worker, very introspective, careful and courteous, and those characteristics are everywhere present in his management of the Wichita postoffice. He was a success in his own business and is a success in his official capacity. He is in the prime of life, is a fine citizen, a splendid neighbor and a loyal Democrat and patriotic American. Demonstrate everywhere are commending the national administration for its choice. If all its acts would be as good as this one it will go down in history as one of the great national administrations. If President Wilson continues throughout his administration to make as few mistakes in his appointments and in an administrative capacity he will be recognized as all as one of the really great members of this country. The Plaid Leader highly commended President Wilson for the appointment of Capt Shields and congratulated the people of Wichita and Capt Shields. They have our best wishes for the future. The appointment of Capt Shields is a credit to Senator Thompson, who recommended him and provided his appointment by President Wilson and the confirmation of the appointment to the Senate. The appointment is heartily approved by all classes throughout the state. Capt Shields is a marvel of his word, unassuming to the market and easy to approach. M. H.

With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a seed corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good seed ears is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pit of water. Its advantage was proved in several years' test of it on the Iowa method of experiment station, will it stay that it will select good ears as satisfactorily as the best expensive manual testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips, a number of times from the edges, as otherwise the travellers sometimes disarrange the kernels in an rolling. Down the middle of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy penell. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the ears to be tested. Take six kernels from car No 1 and place in square No 1; take six kernels from car No 2 and place in square No 2, and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled the a string around each end rather loosely or, better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1. Then proceed with No 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to contain the corn which one has to test. From thirty to fifty ears can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or cup of water where they may remain from two to eighton hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be laid under the rolls and one edge of the pallet should be lifted from one half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read. Depending upon the arrangement of cars, select first either roll No 1 or the last roll filled. This cloth will be unrolled in front of the cars represented. Examine all kernels carefully. In all cases in which all six kernels are not strong in germination the car should be thrown away. - Farm Press In the accompanying illustration, taken with the description from Popular Mechanics, is shown a handy rig for carrying a spool of barbed wire.

He remarked when asked by a reporter if he intened leaving the city about as follows: "Guess I'll stay at home. I did think once that I would surprise my old pal, Joe B. Bass by blowing in upon him out in Frisco, but this hot weather has took all of the run out of me." Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight and give us a girl whose skirts are not tight. Give us a girl whose charms though a few are not exposed by too much peek-a-boo. Give us a girl no matter what age, who won't use the streets as a vaudeville stage. Give us a girl not, too sharply in view; dress her in skirts that the sun won't shine through.—Walt Mason. 0 Messrs Leon Simms and Andy Wallace, members of the printing fraternity, were inspecting the Negro end of the printing business in Kansas City a few days last week.

Rav, delegates to the National Negro Business League which met in Philadelphia, Pa., last week have returned and report the session as being one of pleasure and profit.

Some of the visitors calling this week she had not seen for ten years or more, but she recognized them and was very glad to see them and expressed a desire to see her friends oftener. Our townman, Mr. H. C. Wilson arrived one day this week from an extended trip through Canada, where he was the guest of his son, daughters and their husbands. He was accompanied home by his little grandson, Master LeRoy Wilson, Alexander, who will conduct things around the Wilson home and attend school this winter. Time prevents us giving Mr. Wilson's observations of life in the great Northwest, so our readers will have to wait until next week, when Mr. Wilson will tell all and we will endeavor to present same to you. Mr. J. F. Rickards, of Detroit, Michigan, Most Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Masons, is officially visiting the Consistories of his jurisdiction, and made the Topeka Shiners a visit Wednesday.

Mr. Rickard's itenary will include Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Denver, Salt Lake, Portland, Spokane, Winnepeg and Minneapolis. His visit to Kaw Valley Consistory in this city was one of pleasure and profit to all concerned. Dr. O A. Taylor is Commander in Chief. If you fail to see an article in The Plaindealer that you expected, just bear in mind that our machinery has been (is now) in the hospital, and we are forced to put the paper to press with whatever matter we have "up." This is only to remind you that articles that cannot keep in the cold storage, will appear in these columns and all that cannot, are before you now. Again, you should remember, that not a mechanic on The Plaindealer has enjoyed a days vacation during the entire hot siege and their prospect is very slim. Consider these things and be lament with the men who prepare the mechanical end of this paper, and bear in mind that you will see your stuff—but not this week.
