How long is a cucumber?
The question, which is the subject
of warm discussion among amateur
gardeners, meets a terse reply' from
T. B. Long, of Canemah.
"Eighteen inches," says Long, and
presents a specimen of the vegetable
under discussion to prove it. The cu
cumber, like Mr. Finney's turnip,
grew in the back lot at Long's home
It is 12 inches in circumference and
as solid as they get to be. Long,
doubtless, will inform th,e embryo
Burbanks who herald the arrival of
a 14-inch cucumber with glee, that
they "ain't seen nuthin' yet!"

Escaped Convicts
Battle With Posse
At Stamford. S. D.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Aug. 25. The
four convicts who escaped from the
penitentiary August 17 fought a posse
near Stamford, S. D., about 4 a. m.
today. They mortally wounded State's

A short time ago an Indian came
into Lancashire from a training school
In Paris and promised a huge order

hand-spinning spindle with an auto
matic feeder of raw cotton. This was
to be used to help crush the factory
system of India by a revival and ex
tension of hand spinning, and with It,
domestic weaving.
The idea should not be Impossible,
but the difficulty of providing the
mechanism is to make It light enough
In weight to be easily moved about.
also to make it cheap enough for any
poor householder to purchase. India
has about 2.000,000 hand looms em
ploying 5,000.000 or 6,000,000 men,
women and children, consuming more
than 250.000,000 pounds of yarns.
In England the art of domestic
weaving has been practically lost. It
was superseded nearly 100 years ago
by the rapid advance of the automatic
loom and the factory system. But
there has been a suggestion recently
that some attempt should be made to
reintroduce domestic weaving on a
more modern plan than that which has
been pushed out. Domestic hantT-loom
weaving may still be found in isolated
places and it has also been taken up
by disabled soldiers.
DETROIT, Aug. 28. Henry Ford, in
announcing Saturday that his plants
would be closed September 16 be
cause of conditions in the coal indus
try, began a fight for what he be
lieves is a great principle, The Asso
ciated Press was informed today in
sources close to 'the manufacturer.
Mr. Ford, it was said, has started
what he declares is a fight against all
profiteering in coal and he believes
he is in a better position perhaps to
do so than any one else. He feels, it
was said, that by taking up the fight,
he is doing every other manufacturer
as well as working men throughout
the country, a real service.
Mr. Ford denies there Is a coal
shortage. The investigations of his
representatives have convinced him,
it was said, that coal brokers of the
country have an enormous supply of
coal on hand. The Ford Motor com
pany could obtain enough coal to cov
er a tract 10 acres square if it would
submit to being victimized by prof- j
For several weeks, it wasasserted,
the Ford offices at Dearborn have
been flooded with offers of coal with
delivery guaranteed. It was declared
that the prices asked ranged from 100
to 300 per cent above the normal cost.
The Detroit manufacturer believes
that if he yields to. what he terms
"the holdup" of the coal brokers every
other manufacturer will follow suit
and that coal prices will reach an un
precedented figure. One source close-
to Mr. Ford said the manufacturer had
"at the back of his mind'' a picture
