"Thresh Your Own"
with the
Advance - Rumely
Steel Separator
Two-Plow Tractor Size
FOR the nan who wants to "threth Lis own" Lere
is an "individual separator that has no real rival.
In the first place it is a Rumely. That means that it
saves grain and cleans grain as so other separator can.
Profesional threshermen by the thousands in the
United States and Canada swear by Rumely separa
tors. Then it. is an ideal size for a two-plow tractor.
Handles easily, rani easily and has a tremendous
capacity for its dimensions.
(Will Not Warp or Burn
Nearly 1099c steel construction makes this separator
immune to warping regardless cf the weather or time
you leave it unprotected. It is also fire-proof.
This separator is especially adapted to the inexperi
enced thresher-man. Every adjustment and oil hole is
on the outside. A simple lever raises or lowers con
caves. Blast, sieves and even the chaffer are handled
from the outside. Everything is within easy reach
of the operator.
Being compact, short-turning, with a low center of
gravity, this Rumely Ideal 22x32 job handles easily
in bams or other places where there is not much room.
Come in and let us explain this efficient
machine, showing you its many features.

total number of colleges in the Unit

year there were twenty-five colleges
so designated.
; "It is a matter of steady growth
! and development," the chancellor
said in commenting on the new
ranking. The factors, he said, that
are considered in the selection of dis
tinguished colleges are:
Proficiency of students;
i Efficiency of instructors;
j Harmony of adminisrtation with
: officers;
Facilities provided for training
and in general the support the insti
tution accords the military unit,

May 2 and 3 of this year, for the sec

Colonel Ilerma nGlade of the general
staff and Major Walter Goodwin of

work of a committee of the national

SHELL IN GUN CAUSES HAVOC
Disaster Occurs During Firing Prac
lice On Drill Grounds of Pacific j
Off San Pedro Harbor.
SAN PEDRO. June 12. Three of
ficers and forty-one men of the bat
tleship Mississippi were swept into
eternity at 11:45 a. m. today on the
San Clemente fleet drill grounds off
this port when a shell in one of the
fourteen-inch guns of the ship's No
2 turret exploded prematurely, ac
cording to semi-official information
given out from the U. S. S. New
Mexico, flagship of division four of
the fleet.
The 14-inch rifle that ignited the
turret powder supply was practic
ing extreme elevation firing at the
moment of the explosion, the idea
being to take advantage of the bat
tleship's roll or list to the opposite
for maximum altitude and efficiency
of the gun.
Four powner nags containing 4 5 0
pounds of explosive each were inside
the rifle turret, according to one of
j the surviving sailors in the handling
' room above, where several wre also
killed.
Of the several injured sailors in
the passage spaces and handling
room above tne turret were xerrioiy
burned by gas and from the explo
sion. Partial List cf Dead
A semi-official list of dead, issued
at 1 o'clock, gave the following:
Ensign William G. McCrea. Rcr.r;
va, Ta.
Ted Carlysle Ragan, seaman, sec
ond class. Joplin, Mo.
Norman Lee Barbee, coxswain of
San Francisco.
Farris Carlson Hopkins, seaman,
first class. Adriansvillc, Ga.
Svlvester Bridges of Bixton, Miss
The men were all from the battle- j
ship New Mexico doing observation
duty, it was announced in the inter
change of officers and mn between
various ships of the fleet when the
firing practice was being held.
A fleet rumor which reached shore
at 7:45 p. m.. but which could not
be confirmed, has it that the captains
of both the "Mississippi and the New
Mexico, who were believed to be
watching the firing of turret No. 2
which was considered one of the best
in the navy, are reported injured.
The switch was thrown to ignite
the shell before the breech was
locked and in another moment the
interior of the turret was littered
with dead and dying.
First Man to Enter Turret
Ensign II. G. Smith, from the U.
S. S. Xew Mexico, was the first man
to enter the turret No. 2 following
the burning of the smokeless powder
which snuffed out the lives of the
two score men.
Upon entering the turret. Ensign
Smith took with him an air hose
which immediately caused the flames
again to shoot forth. After flooding
water. Ensign Smith was able to
enter. All the men were dead at
that time, their faces swelled and
puffed almost beyond recognition by
the intense heat. Identification
mark on the clothing, however, was
still discernable.
Ensign J. J. Leveasseur, officer on
the Xew Mexico, dove forty feet
from the shell deck down the shaft
of the endless power chain bucket,
thus saving his life when flames cf
smokeless powder spread in its
death path.
Ensign Leveasseur was schedule!
to operate as check sight observer
on the battleship during the prac
tice, but officers of the battleship are
said to have requested that their
check sight officer. Lieut. Erwin re
main in his official capacity.
Leveasseur went to the shell deck
and was saved. Erwin was killed.
The Great American Romance

west, in all its beputy, romance,
drama and magnificar.ee has Ke:i
captured in celluloid. "The Virg:.'
an," showing at the armele Thea:i.
Friday and Saturday, may be called
without exaggeration, an epoch
making picture.
.When Preferred Pictures Corpor
ation announced, some time auo.
that they intended making a film
version of "The Virginian," people
were dubious about it. So many
! great tories. so many classic mas
i terpicces. have been butchered and
! runed by filming that those who
: have loved Owen Webster's grti t
; story feared that the picture might
j not do it jsutice.
I They may rest assured. The, pi
' ture is better than the book. This
: may seem a startling statci.".ent.
wrien
it is realized that "The Vir-
gniuu" has been for twnt years
! the supreme msaterpiece of tlie west.
The situaions which In cold type
have thrilled millons are more than
realized in the picture. Agains 'he
most magnificant natural back
grounds ever seen in the motion pi-"-j
ture. this mighty drama is enacted
I by a cast so good that the story
. might have-been written for them.
1 Great Cast
i Ke nneth Harlan as "The Virgin -;
iau" has been ideally chosen, and
! Florence Vidor gives the iir.es'
j characterization of her carees ic tlu
. role of Molly the little school teach
I er fn:m Vermont. Russell Simpson
is a vicious looking and convincing
villian. playing the role of Tram pas,
jthe cattle-thief. Ramond Ilatton.
I one of the finest character actors or.
: the screen supplies much of the
J comedy in the role tf Shorty. The-i
there "is Pat O'Malley as the rene
j gade Steve, whose cattle-stealing
j forces his best friend to order his
. execution.
The picture starts with a thrill
the rescue of Molly from the over
thrown stage-coac'ii by the Virgin
ian and piles dram aupon chu-ia
situation upon situation, working
up to one of the mightiest climaxes
ever sereened. Tears and laughter
alternate in quick succession.
One comes away from the show
ing oi "The Virginian" with the
realization that the screen has
achieved a genuine masterpiece.
This picure will thrill everyone who
sees it. It will take its place among
the three or four genuine achieve
ments of the motion picture.
Theodore Roosevelt, who was a
great friend of Owen Webster spoke
in the highest terms of the book,
endorsing it as a vivid and true pic
ture of the west. It is unfortunate
that he could not have lived to see
the picture, for he would, have found
it a living, breathing visualization
of the story he loved so well.
Tom Forman directed "The Vir
ginian." and with this picture takes
his place among the Griffiths and
DeMilles ot screendom. Olga Printz
lau adapted it, from the novel and
play by Owen Webster and Kirkc
La Shelle. It. P. Schulberg is the
