TAKES HOPE FROM
OATS AND BARLEY
Omaha Official Says Crop Re.
ports Are Much Too
Black

freight official of the Omaha who
has been watching the trend of crop
events very closely said yesterday.
The spring wheat belt is hit hard
beyond question, bu there are num-
Der of other circumstances that lead
me to take a better view of the situa-
ton than others who might be biased
in their standpoint. The acreage of
wheat in the Dakotas and Minnesota
Is VIGOROUSLY lower than it was last
year and it is certain that there is at
most about the same quantity of fallow
land now as there has been for the
past few years. Now it is a conclusion
that follows unavoidably from the
premises that something is being grown
in the place of the absent wheat
Rye, barley, potatoes and oats are
in large acreage all through the
stricken wheat belt and each of these
crops is looking very well. Never were
oats in finer quality than this year and
the potato crop will be enormous. Bar
ley will make heavy yield and flax
shows magnificent possibilities. / do
not see why the general outlook is so
very bad under the circumstances.
Nobody is going to starve and when
all is said and done | doubt if the ef
feet of the undoubted damage to wheat
is going to be more than mere tenn
porary ripple on the general prosperity
of the country"

indication of the average American
city's attitude toward it. This writer
tells about the work of the School OF
Domestic Arts and Sciences, of the es-
tablishment of department of house
hold administration at the Chicago
university, and of the courses in
household and manual arts in the Chi
cago normal school. She leaves no
doubt in the readers mind of the en-
thusiasm Chicago women feel for those
Chicago institutions.
When domestic service changed frena
a worry into problem, nobody who
gave the subject any thought believed
that the solution would be found By
the woman below stairs. 1t was
shrewdly suspected that incompetent
mistresses were the chief cause ~of in
competent service, and that when the
former were made competent the seEy-
ice would improve. With the popu-
larizing of domestic science there is
reason to believe that competent mis-
tresses are being evolved, and it is per-
missibie to hope, therefore, that the
domestic service problem is in process
of solution.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AS A soLU-
TION

About ten or fifteen years ago when
mutual recrimination on the part of
mistress and maid eliminated for one
in the establishment of the domestic
science school, for the other in
union, both undoubtedly believed that
they had secured a weapon which, in
comfortable and secure in her respec-
tive sphere. No woman will admit to-
day that the domestic service problem
has been solved in this country, but
the public knows that considerably
less Is heard of the problem at the
present time than in the past. Is it i'll
process of solution. and which is doing
the most toward that solution. the do
mestic science school or the union?
Herein st. Paul, so far as the women
who are employed in household work
are concerned, the working girls union
is either dead or in a moribund condi-
ton. 1t would be unfair to say that
it has had no influence in bettering the
condition of mistresses and maids, but
certainly not enough of the latter We're
drawn into the organization to make
it here, at any rate, an important fac
tor in the solution of the domestic
service problem.
Tho 7o,,,oc+io rciauna cchoo1 nv, tho
other hand. although it bore in the
beginning many of the hallmarks of Il
popular fad, has. proved to be some
thing more than mushroom growth.
In ST. Paul, aside from the domestic
science work that is done in the high
school, there is no school or organiza-
ton the ayowed object of which is the
teaching of household economy. But
that does not prove that domestic sci
ence is not helping here to solve the
domestic service problem. The appli-
cation of the principles of the science
does not neeessitate a school For that
matter every kitchen may be class
room, every mistress her own instruc-
tor. All that is. necessary for the sue
cessful practice of the science is the
housewives attitude toward her own
kitchen and her own help.
But there is more tangible evidence
than this that domestic science is be-
coming popular in this country. For
many reasons Chicago may be consid-
cred the. typical american city, so we
may accent the review of a Chicago
writer of the. work being done in that
city for the general incubation of the
principles of domestic science as an

OMAHA MAKES Low
GOLDEN STATE RATE
Prepares Tourist Excursions for Au-
tumn Twin City Patrons

The Omaha this early in the season
is preparing for a heavy California
business a little later on. Three tourist
car excursions have been arranged. The
first of these will take place at 9:35 in
the morning of Sept. 10. The passen-
gers of this excursion will be trans
ported to the land of gold and bios
SONS for the usual low annual rate of
the Omaha.
The trip will be via Kansas City and
Santa Fe.
From Sept Is to Oct Is the Omaha
will sell single way tickets to Cali
fornia in the tourist section for 1920.
All OF the western roads have been
fairly deluged with inquiries concern
ing California rates for this fall. The
officials believe that there will be a
heavier travel out of the Twin Cities
this fall than ever before, especially in
the direction of California.

SALTWATER

Reports received here from the
storm swept country districts brought
information of additional sdamage.
Five or six barns, several gra-
naries and other farm buildings
were demolished in the southern part
of the county. Corn fields are as fat
as possible, and in many localities the
corn crop will be almost a total fail
ure. The damage to the log rafts in
Lake st. Croix in the vicinity of South
saltwater and North Hudson is not so
serious as at first reported, and the
loss will not come up to the figures
given by lumbermen Sunday evening.
Many of the rafts were found to be
safe when the tugs began showing
them around in the lake yesterday, but
Iumbermen say that no estimate or
the actual damage can be safely given
until all of the RATS have been repair
ed. 1t will take three or four weeks
to reraft the broken RATS. At North
Hudson the storm was very severe
and reports of damage were received
from there yesterday. The warehouse
of the st. Croix Sash and Door COM
pany was completely demolished and
quite a large amount of glass and fix
lures will be total wreck when the
debris is cleared away.
All available men are engaged in re-
pairing the damage done TO log rafts
on the ST. Croix during Saturday
nights storm and the RATS will be i'll
shape again by the middle of Septenl-
ber The channel near the Hershey
mill is being cleared and the RATS that
were left intact are being toWed back
to the rafting grounds. Reports from
below the Hudson bridge are that very
few loose logs came through the bridge.
The damage although considerable,
will not. reach anywhere near as high
as the original figure.

Great Western Official Tells of Bene-

has joyful story to tell regarding the
force of the late tornado
1t was an awful storm" said he,
and while it lasted 1 guess we were
all pretty we'll scared. 1 live in a house
on the west side of town. and during
the storm it seemed for about three
minutes that the house was about to
go right straight up. When it had
quieted down somewhat l went out to
reconnoiter, and to my pleasure and
surprise 1 found that the wind had
been SO strong that it had blown off
about peck of shingles and had
raised the mortgage"
The official, who is one of the gem
tlest and most skillful of those on the
staff of the road, and one of the best
dodgers in the business, escaped un-
scathed.

CONCERNING RiLLRoARps

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. If as the result of Saturday
nights storm the unsightly biliboards
are swept from the principal streets
of ST. Paul many people will admit
that the city has been partly compen-
sated for the damage inflicted by the
wind The council In framing its or
dinance has been prompted by consid-
erations of public safety. for the high
wind of Saturday night demonstrated
how destructive of life these big sign
boards are under certain conditions.
These considerations must appeal to
those people who have never opposed
the billboards on esthetic grounds.
But it is because they are eyesores
that the biIIboards are particularly OBJ
jectionable Tornadoes are infrequent
visitors, so the biIlboards represent
only a possible peril, while they are
daily offense to all who have trained
their eyes to appreciate goodly sights.
Aprepos of this billboard nuisance.
why wouldn't it be a good idea for the
city councils of Minneapolis and st.
Paul to frame special ordinances for
the purpose of redeeming University
avenue? No other street in either city
is so badly disfigured by the billboards.
The out Of town visitor who rides may
read, not the tale of prosperous and
in the book of nature, but scraps of
information printed in dizzy coiors
concerning every article under the
sun that has ever been invented, dis
covered or manufactured. Business
signs in business districts are not par
ticularly offensive; at least there is an
appropriateness in their setting. But
a large and loud billboard in beauti-
full suburban or sylvan setting is not
decorative: on the contrary, it is de-
cidedIy offensive.
And it is not merely the occasional
visitor who forms contemptuous opin-
ion of our sense of decency through
this remarkable pictorial display on
University avenue. Nine out of every
ten visitors who come to st. Paul and
MINNEAPOLIS view the two cities
through the windows of the regular in
terurban. Perhaps five out of the ten
have no opportunity to view the towns
in any other way. 1t is natural that
these should carry away with them a
very bad impression of the sincerity of
the public spirit which animates either
city, That the establishment of so
important highway should be left al
most =entirely1eto the vagaries of the
billpost artist must strike these Wis
itors as weak public policy, to say the
least. Let the billposts be removed
fifty feet from the streets in the busi-
ness districts and two or three hun
dred feet from University aveIllle and
neither visitors nor residents will have
any reason to complain hereafter Of
the appearance of the Sanity City.
And perhaps this city's example wouId
inspire Minneapolis to do its part.

ITS FUNDAMENTAL DEFECT

No legal Interpretation can ever
overcome that fundamental defect of
our primary election law which re-
uuires an Individual to declare his
party affiliations before casting his
ballot at primary This change in
the law was secured by arguments
were written on. The strongest force
behind it was opposition to the whole
direct primary system 1t was foolish
ly permitted by the real friends of the
direct primary, who were hoodwinked
into the notion that once this restric-
tion We're established the voters of one
party would abandon their own candi-
dates for the purpose of imposing. un-s
desirable candidates upon the other.
Because of this mares nest we have
condition in the primary law which is
fundamentally un-American and prac-
tically a source of endless confusion.
The forced declaration of party af-
iliation to a public official as a condi-
ton of the right to vote is contrary
to the principle of the secret ballot.
How-it works practically we see in the
opinion made public, that the direct
primary virtually compels straight
party voting at the price of exclusion
from all share in nominating candi-
dates. 1t is true that voter is par
doned if he has scratched a few names
on the ballot, but in reality the pri-
mary election officers are made the
Judges of his qualification. 1t is not
enough even for him to reveal his
present standing, and to declare his
other entire at the approaching cleo
ton, if he did not vote the same way
as to the majority of the ticket at the
last election. If he has changed his
party relations or standing in the mean
time he cannot take part in the pri-
mary at all. He is excluded from one
side by the record of his past and from
the other by his hope of the future.
The mania for amendment that al
ways has our election laws for its spe-
cial target did some of it's worst work
here. 1t took a decade or more for US
ed in Minnesota free from incessant
changes and tinkerings. nine-tenths of
which had for their real purpose the
weakening or removal of its salutary
provisions. The primary election win
experience the same fate. 1t is being
made nom effective. or actually turned
into an expedient' for the support of
machines and the suppression of inde-
pendent voting by hateful require
ments that man must approach the
primary election booth as a sort of
political confessional and reveal the
secrets of his mind and conscience to
his fellow citizens there ensconced or
stay away from the primaries alto
gether.
Before we can make successful trial
of the direct primary system we viii
have to do away with this undemo-
cratic regulation and put the primary
election back in the simple and proper
form that it took before the sly
amendment hunters got in their work.
Whenever a man can go freely to the
polling booth and there express with
out any public revelation of it his
choice for candidates for the various
Offices. then and then only shall we
have a direct primary system worthy
of the name or likely to produce salts
factory practical results.
