Crusade Against the Billboard
BY III. G.. ii. TARR.

Some years ago l made a mental
resolve not to buy any commodity
whatever or patronize any enterprise
that was advertised upon billboard,
fence, barn or rock in the open coun-
try. / have just read an article in
The Craftsman for January headed
'To Boycott the Billboard" The
author gives number of suggestions
such as organizing societies with
members pledged to this object, and
tells us of movements in Great Brit
ain and here having this in view. All
of which has not so far and will never
amount to hill of beans. The rea-
son of this is that not enough people
are sufficiently interested to take the
trouble to attend meetings of an or
ganized society, to say nothing of Or
ganizing and going about soliciting
members.
You can't reach this crime against
nature through legislation as mans
land is his own, as his house is his
castle, and a law preventing his ex-
hibiting or permitting the exhibition
of an unobjectionable sign thereby
would surely be unconstitutional.
So far as l know l have flocked
alone in this heroic resolve, all the
time trying to devise some plan
whereby 1 can get cn organized sup
port without an organization. 1t has
now occurred to me that the follow
ing would be practicable, and If prop
erly launched could be made effective
and would put out of business every
fence, billboard and rock artist in the
country.
At the first newspaper editors con-
ventiop Il understand they have an
association in every State) let them
be resolved that all shall insert in
their columns form of pledge which
their readers are to be invited to sign,
cut out and return to the paper.
This will inspire editorial articles
which will tend to shame the farmer
and make it more difficult for the bill
board man to hire the privilege.
The action of one State association,
I venture to say, will be followed by
similar movement all over the
country. OF course 1t will be met
with the objection that newspapers
could not afford valuable space in
continued issues, for to be effective it
must be kept up. The answer to this
is that while doing great good they
are diverting large amount of mon
ey spent in advertising into legiti-
mate channel. the columns Of news
paper.
Possibly in some cases the influ-
ence of the large advertiser would be
too great, but I have observed that
the billboard nan seldom does much
newspaper advertising, SO while
sweeping from Gods green country
the soap, castor oil and baking pow
der ads isn't it possible the newspaper
man may be doing very good stroke
of business?

would not be able to spare bushel
of wheat, corn, oats nor a ton of hay,
for export. Domestic consumption
would demand all cotton and wool,
fruit and vegetables, dairy and poul.
try products. The growth of acreage
to population was already decreasing
and the statistician could determine
when no further acreage could be
gained.
To meet these contentious there
are diversified crops, irrigation, the
introduction of new products, and,
especially, scientific farming. A
paper recently issued by Karl F. Kel-
lerman, psychologist in charge OF
soil bacteriology, contains some CT
the results of legume incubation.
OF about 5000 farmers who were
supplied with cultures more than
one-half have made reports. Success
full incubation is indicated by the
growth of nodules on the roots, from
which the nitrogen drawn from the
air is fed to the plant and to the
surrounding soil. The effect is not
only. to increase the crop of legumes
and in every way improve 1t, but
also to enrich the land for subse-
quent crops of different natures.
Perhaps few facts could show more
impressively the revolution that is
taking place in practical farming
than this process of incubation.
A better idea of the value of inocu-
lation can be obtained from the re-
ports of the farmers. Thus one who
used alfalfa writes: "The inoculated
crop did fine, while the uninoculated
was q failure and always has been so
far" Another, using red clover,
says: "Inoculated crop strong and
healthy. All the seed of the unin-
oculated died in forty to sixty days,
as did every uninoculated clover field
in the vicinity" One who planted
the cowpea says: Elm the inoculated
field the increase of peas over the un-
inoculated was fully three to one.
AS to hay, about two and half tons
to the acre in favor of the inocu-
lated" Still another writes: "Three
tons of hay from an acre Of inocu.
lated seed, one-half ton on land not
inoculated."
Scientific farming may prevent the
realization of Sir Williams doleful
prophecy. 1t obviously means an
enormous increase in the products OF
the land and probably insures a
greater proportionate increase OF
breadstuffs than of population.

A Movement For Clean Bread.

A movement is on foot in WASH
ington to safeguard the bread supply
of the public by wrapping it in paper
as soon as it has been baked. Some
opposition having been offered by the
bakers, who objected that the wrap
ping would impair its palatability and
digestibility, the Health Department
Experimental with various kinds of
paper and discovered that the effect
Of the protective covering was to pre-
serve the freshness of the bread,
which was superior after twenty-four
hours to that which had not been
wrapped. Another advantage of the
proposed method is that the union
label, which is now affixed directly to
the loaf "a plan Objectionable to
many consumers = could, with the
adoption of this method, be used to
seal the wrappers. Some restaurants
in New York have already taken to
the use of similar wrappers for the
rolls which they serve to their pat
rons.-Leslie's.

SUGGESTS NATIONAL
BOARD OF HEALTH.
w. J. hampton Says Diseases
Would Be Largely Preyentable
by Federal Aid.

Isn't 1t about time that we were
having national Board Of Health
of Importance equal to that of any
other department of the government?
According to a statement of the
American Medical Society, during
last year 100000 persons died in
this country and there were 4,200,-
900 sick, involving the comfort and
material prosperity of 100000
homes and 25,000,O00 people"
If we had population of four or
five hundred millions these figures
would not mean so much, but we have
not. On the contrary, we have no
more than will show that more than
one-quarter of our people are threat
ened in their material comfort and
prosperity every year by disease.
Medical men believe that at least one
third of this is preventable by knowl-
edge already in hand and the percent
age might be largely reduced IL fed
eral aid were extended and all the
powers of the government available
in such good work were put into ef-
feet.
Certainly no sickly nation can be
strong, and as certainly public health
Is of more Importance than any other
one necessity of proper existence. The
government looks after the health of
cattle and sheep and hogs and other
animals of commercial value, but are
not the people, who constitute the
government, of more significance?
And what has the government done,
broadly speaking, for the people at
large? When the yellow fever, chol-
era or plague manifests itself the
government becomes active enough,
but what government aid Is expended
for the development of knowledge OF
the various preventable and prevail
ing diseases that carry off SO many
useful people every year?
Our physicians are making tremen-
dous progress, and they are doing so
out of their own means and the means
of those rich men who see more clear
ly than the government itself what
is needed and what should be done.
But so important matter as the
maintenance Of public health, the ac-
QUESTION of medical knowledge and
the dissemination of information OF
vital benefit to all the people should
be in the hands of the government
with men. and means sufficient to pur-
sue disease to its source and throttle
it at its beginning. We cannot final
ly conquer Death, but we can stand
him off until our time is up II we
only know how, and the government
is the one to find out how and to in
form us-W. j. hampton, in the New

Home Paper the Best Advertisement.

The best advertising medium of
town is its home paper, provided the
paper be properly sustained, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. A good
home paper, we'll edited, well printed.
well filled with local advertisements,
having the smile of prosperity on its
countenance, and we'll circulated, Is
in itself an index to the thrift and en-
terprise of the community it repre-,
sents and an expression of the enter
prising spirit of the people. 1t has
now become an axiom of trade that
every community is judged by it's
newspaper. If the newspaper is dull
and poverty-stricken the outsider
who sees it will conclude that it rep
resents a dull and thriftless commu-
nifty. If, on the other hand, it is live
in all its departments, and shows that
1t is well sustained, the outsider will
Judge its constituency accordingly.
And usually it is fair basis of esti--
mate. Nine times out of ten the l0Sat
newspaper is correct photograph of
the town in which it is published and.
from which it derives its support.
This is a matter which the people
of every town should seriously con-
slider. They should bear in mind that
every copy of the home paper goes
out as a courier, with message to
the outside world. 1t is for the peo-
pie to say what sort of courier it
shall be-. and what sort of message
1t shall carry. If the people proclaim
to the world that they will not sustain
a home paper, how can they expect the
world to believe that they will sustain
any other home enterprise that might
move in?
The money spent on the home pa
per should be expended in subscrip-
tions and individual advertisements,
for, as we have said, the paper should
be an advertisement in itself of the
community. But the local paper is
necessarily limited in its reach, and
in addition to local support the town
should appropriate liberal fund for
general advertising in mediums
which have a wider circulation
town Is too large to advertise abroad.
The largest cities in the United States
are the largest advertisers, and If the
cities find 1t necessary to advera1e.

A Strip of Territory Added to Alaska

1t is reported in ottawa that a
strip of territory furlong wide and
some fifty miles long, will be added
to Alaska, owing to the work that
has just been completed positively
locating the. 141st meridian. There
was no dispute as to the location of
the boundary to the north of Mount
st. Elias, since it was agreed num-
Der of years ago that the line should
follow the 141st meridian from that
mountain northward to the Arctic
Ocean. The line, however, had never
been actually marked. OF late years
the extensive mining operations in
the White River country have led
many prospectors to stake out claims
which may or may not be in the
United States territory. BY means
of the telegraph, the most accurate
method known. the old determine
tion made by the lunar method was
checked up. placing the meridian
about GOO feet farther east than 1t
had hitherto been supposed to exist.

What Is household?
A household is place where ba-

tracted, coal is burned, food is eaten
and occasionally auctions are held.
AS rule, household consists of
two heads and one foot. One head is
the cook, the other the mans wife.
Every day every household is WIS.,
tied by all the trusts.
At regular intervals it is visited by
sickness, health. taxes and clergymen.
Nothing happens that the house
hold doesn't get its share of.
It's a partner in epidemics, panics,
elections, wars, tidal waves. An
