The naval auxiliary Buffalo, Captain
Clarence Stone commanding, is to leave
April 1 for the coast of Alaska, to es-
tablish a wireless station for the navy.
In preparation for the national po-
litical campaign of 1912, a call has been
issued by the board of directors of the
national league of democratic clubs for
conference in Indianapolis April -
and 10.
A 4O,OOO-ton battleship is to be laid
down shortly at Yokosula by the Japa-
nese navy. The largest dreadnought of
Japan is the Settsu, 2o,so0 tons, to be
launched at Kure in April. The new
battleship will be armed with at least
IA 12-inch guns.
A great suppressive movement
against socialism has been ordered by
the Japanese government. Suspicion
has fallen upon many, including journal
lists, priests, factory hands, teachers and
others. Wholesale raids are to be made
against socialists, not only In Toxic, but
throughout Japan.

FARMERS SHOULD ACT QUICK

CBy A. L. STONE)
The danger from the encroachment
Of quack grass and Canada thistle is
very real and imminent in many To-
calities. Farmers cannot afford to
ignore this danger. yet there is la
mentable lack of concerted action to
get rid Of these two enemies of crop
production. Farm land in most states
Is too high priced for owners to permit
90 per cent. of its producing power to
be destroyed by weeds 1t is time those
Interested in agriculture realized the
situation.
There are laws on our statute books
to compel the cutting of these weeds
before seed is produced, but to pre-
vent seeding alone is not sufficient.
Steps must be taken to rid the soil

Cooperation between farmers In the
same locality and between farmers, the
experiment station and the legislature
Is necessary before satisfactory results
will be secured. The fact that quach
grass and Canada thistles can be
eradicated should be emphasized and
active efforts put forth to prevent
these pests from taking possession Of
our farms.
Farmers on the virgin soils OF the
United States where the weeds were
not numerous were inclined to ridi
Guile the idea that weeds could evel
become seriously troublesome. The
fears OF the scientists have beer
realized, however. and there are nov
many farms in this country which
have been abandoned because th'
weeds nave multiplied and spread 81

UnIque WaYs TO Give Glfta-

In a family where there were no
children and none to be borrowed
from near relatives they devised this
method of distributing the gifts: The
day before Christmas barrel covered
with creep paper was placed in the
reception hall. 1t was tied around
with red ribbon and greens, and each
member of the family placed parcels
within. At breakfast 1t was rolled
Into the dining room and the contents
disclosed by the one whose lot it was
to perform the pleasant task. This
honor was determined by two candy
canes, one long. one short; the man
who drew the long one oficiated as
Santa Claus. This is not much trou-
BILE. and infinitely better than Just the
ordinary giving things.

Stock that is In good condition a.
the commencement Of winter will re-
quire less food to carry them through
than poor stock. and will yield much
better results. The aim should always
be to feed the live stock literally. The
farmer who keeps plenty Of live stock
to feed the farm products to is sure to
be successful. The true way to i'm
prove the farm is by selling the prod
ucts through the live stock. This is
the right method to increase fertility
and at the same time make the farm a
source of annual profit
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1911-01-28

Another novel way of distributing
presents is to make a huge stocking
of turkey-red cotton or white drilling;
run wire in the hem around the top
to keep it open, and suspend from a
hook in the ceiling by a wide red rib
bon.
Decorate a light stepladder with
ribbon and holly or Christmas greens
and stand by the stocking Hang il
up a few days before Christmas and
have all parcels dropped into it. Light
packages and letters may be pinned
on the outside. At breakfast table on
Christmas morning draw lots for the
honor of unloading the stocking.
