POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to tho Credit Of
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile. but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza, 1t has taught him
q very valuable lesson In economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis. overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But Of late years farmers have no
ticed that. while all the plants in nsld
or garden were covered with aphis.
all the roadside growths. white with
dust from flying automobiles, had not
a single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips. peas
and cabbages were coated with ordt
nary dust instead Of costly powder.
Result. disappearance Of all insect par
asites.
The automobile. in . word. has
taught the farmer that dust which
costs nothing. will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests Just -
completely a. the most expensive
powder can.

SENATE INVESTIGATING COMMIT.
TEE BRINGS OUT IMPORT
ANT FACTS.
LOOKOUT TESTIFIES
HAD TITANIC BEEN SUPPLIED
WITH SPY GLASSES, ALL
MIGHT HAVE ESCAPED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

western newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - Like the missing
horseshoe nail that cost a monarch
his kingdom, the failure to provide
binoculars or spy glasses for the 10 ok
outs on the Titanic was one contrib
uting cause of that ships loss and,
with it, the loss of more than sixteen
hundred lives. Two witnesses before
the Senate investigating committee
agreed on this. They were Frederick
Fleet, lookout on the liner, and Ma
jor Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian
manufacturer and yachtsman. who was
among the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he mad
been aided in his observation by a
good glass he could probably have
spied the berg into which the ship
crashed in time to have warned the
bridge to avoid it.
Major Peuchen also testified to the
much greater sweep of vision afforded
by binoculars, and, as a yachtsman,
said he believed the presence OF the
iceberg might have been detected in
time to escape the collision had the
lookout men been so equipped.
1t was made to appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said they had asked for the glasses at
Southampton and were told there were
none for them. One glass, in a pin ;h,
would have served, in the crows nest.
Major Peuchen criticized in strong
terms the lack of experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that
when the call to quarters was sounded
not enough of the crew responded to
undertake the work required in lower
ing and filling the boats.
Furthermore, he said, no drills had
been held from the time the ship left
Southampton, although it was custom
ary to hold such drills every Sunday.
Herbert J. Pitman, third officer of
the Titanic, told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat in which he and kis
passengers were idly drifting. to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down. Shudderng at the
recollection, he said the cries for help
made "one long, continuous moan"
The passengers insisted that to go
back to aid would mean their destrac-
tion. he said, so that after starting N
the direction of the cries, he rescinded
his orders and waited for the dawn.
Twice he begged to be spared a recital
of the facts, but Senator Smith pressed
him.
The opportunities and activities of
squad of photographers so aroused
Senator Smith that he Indignantly Gr
dered them all excluded from the
chamber. This inquiry is official and
solemn he said, in explanation, "ahd
there will be no hippodroming or COM
mercializing of it. | will not permit
it," An amateur photographer man
aged to slip past the guard later hut
was elected summarily when he
sought to get snap of the scene.

Some Reasons Why Your Self-Denial
Gift Will Help salvation
Army Work.

While members of the Catholic and
Episcopal churches are observing holy
week the Salvation Army soldiers in
Grand Forks will he observing their
annual period OF self-denial. In this
week the army workers will be calling
on friends Of the work to help In
whatever way they can. The money
raised during this time will be devoted
to home and heather missions.
The Salvation Army Is now working
in fifty-six countries and preaching
the gospel in thirty-four languages.
A few reasons why sympathizers
with the Salvation Army should con-
tribute to the self-denial fund are:
Your self-denial gift will help to
win the world for God and righteous
ness.
Your gift will help the army's social
work-feeding the starving. lifting the
fallen, retaining drunkards and
criminals.
Your gift will help the army to
maintain its great missionary work.

PLANNING TO MAKE
ANOTHER TOUR
~ THIS YEAR
Motor Men of the City Begin
Talking About Sea-
sons Prospects.

AS the time for motoring draws
near, members of the automobile club
are beginning to talk of the annual
tour. which will probably be carried
out this season. A year ago a junket
had been planned but the event had
to be called off on account Of rain.
Members of the club believe that
the trip this year will be made over
the same route as planned last season.
This, trip will take the motorists to
Minot and from there in a circuitous
route about the state, taking in the
larger cities.
There Is more interest being dis
played in motoring this year than ever
before in this city and the club will
probably take several trips during the
summer. the big junket to be. Of
course, the state tour.
While members Of the cub realize
that the coming Of the Glidden tour
It othis section would be a great adj
vertisement. they have little faith in
the idea that the Glidden tourists
will make the northwestern trip this
year. In speaking Of the proposition
to make an effort to bring the Gid
den cars this way, Tom Moore, a we'll
known dealer and driver, said:
ut would be a mighty fine thing to
have the Glidden tour routed through
this section, but I have an idea that
the trip will be made south. The
Glidden tour is not the event that it
was originally. 1t has developed from
a car test of much Importance to a
sort Of a pleasure trip and 1 do not
believe that the tourists will consid-
err coming in this direction. A north
west route would be a splendid thing
for testing the machines. but I fear
those on pleasure bent alone would
not favor the idea. The Glidden tour
is not much Of a test for cars now.
One Of the real test trips each year
is the Wisconsin reliability run.
II believe this will be a great year
for Dakota motorists and I think the
Grand Forks club will fake some fine
| trips during the summer"

PETITIONS FOR CASH
TO AID BETTER

ing is one Of the greatest incentives
to immigration, the better farming
committee OF Grand Forks county is
making the minutes count until
Thursday. when the proposition for an
appropriation from the county COM
m%issioncrs will again be submitted to
the board: The petitions sent out
over the county a few days ago are
said to be receiving the signatures Of
many farmers. who do not hesitate
to place their names on the list, ap-
parently realizing the benefits the car
rying u Of the proposition will at
ford the county.
Should the commissioners comply
with the request as outlined in the
petition, and appropriate $4,000 a
year for this work. 1t will mean that
each tax payer will have to pay only
about rs cents upon every $1,000 for
which he is assessed, Or. that each
farmer will pay about 80 cents a year,
for two years. for each quarter section
of land that he owns. If a man is
assessed upon the tax lists by the
county assessor at $1,000, the entire
service Of this better farming asso-
citation will cost only 25 cents a year
for a period of two years.
