age production per acre OF corn In
tho United States Is still below 2s
bushels per acre despite the fact
that In almost every section OF the
country yields OF more than 100
bushels have been obtained. The diff
ference indicates In measure the
value of proper instruction In grow
Ing corn. Tho spread OF boys corn

last season had adhered to this one
regulation, 1t is safe to assert that
the inspectors in the markets would
have had to hunt long time for a
"green-struck" or "off conditioned
chicken. Putting the birds in cold
water, or water and ice to cool them
is unredeemably bad, and packing in
fine ice with a heavy lump of ice on
top of the barrel is continuation of
an unreliable and often very dis
astrous method.

Remember that every bad chicken
sold hinders or prevents the sale Of

Concrete for Canals

FHE LINING of irrigation canals
with concrete IN order to pre-
vent losses In the transmission
OF water Is discussed at some length
in a Forthcoming bulletin of the
United States Department Of Agrl-
culture mo. 1860 entitled, Con
crete Lining as Applied to Irrigation
Canals" The census Of 1910 shows
that there were more than 10000
miles Of unlined irrigation canals in
the West, Forty per cent OF the wa
ter that passes through this, the
author estimates, is lost, or, II allow
ance be made for that which is later
recovered by lower conduits the loss
Is still more than 25 per cent. So
much OF this loss could be obyiated
by the use Of concrete that In many
places the value OF the water will
more than offset the increased cost
Of construction.
Big Saving.
On the larger irrigation systems
now in course Of construction, water
rights are being sold for from S25
to 800 an acre. In addition to the
value OF the water saved by CON
crete lining, the reduction in charges
for operation and maintenance must
also be taken into consideration,
and also the insurance that such con
strucuon affords against damage to
the crops by u sudden failure on
the part Of the water supply. Az an
instance Of the Importance Of the
latter the author mentions a break
on q canal in California which
cauaed n thousand feet OF the main
canal on a steep sldehlll to be
washed out, II was six weeks before
the canal could be repaired and al
though the actual cost Of the work
was only 100000 tho loss to tho
crops from lack Of water was estl-
mated at n million dollars.
Tho bulletin presents in a SUM
married. form somo results Of seep-
age measurements, and discusses
methods and costs OF concrete lining
as applied to irrigation channels. ri

by 1915.
This change, which, in the opinion
of Prof. Elmer Gress, supervisor of
the Dayton, O., Fairgrounds, will
make the game more interesting, is
in effect in Dayton, and the Amateur
Athletic Union has commented favor
ably upon it.
Prof. Gress is Southern Ohio's
leading basketball authority. He has
never been satisfied with the method
of putting the ball into play by hav-
ing two centers jump for it when the
referee losses it up between them.
Gress' objection is that very tall
player at center gives his team too
much advantage over an opponent.
He wants teams of five who can work
together in every detail, which he
says is at present impossible.
Instead of putting the ball into play
as the rules now call for, Dayton's
playground teams toss for the ball
at the start of the game and the win
ner gets possession. One player
steps out of bounds with the ball
about midway between the goals and
endeavors to pass the ball to one of
his own men, all of whom are guard
ed by opponents.
After the first scoring the ball goes
to the opposing side, which puts it
into play in the same manner, but
from the opposite side of the court
The right to put the ball in play then
alternates. This prevents the team
with the tallest, or highest jumping
center, gaining an advantage.
The game, it is claimed, is faster
under Gress'. plan and more scientific,
as the new way makes possible more
passing combinations and eliminates
the delay centers often occasion.

TELLS OF RANK CONDITIONS
DUE TO SOCIAL EVIL"

- OSSaEN- -
Sheboygan, Wis.,, Jan. 1o-The
first real insight into the work done
by the TeasdaIe vice commission
came when Senator Teasdale read a
letter from one of his operatives now
investigating in Manitowoc, who said
she was learning from conversations
with girls and women factory opera
tives and clerks what they knew of
the existence of designation houses
and disorderly resorts. p"
DR.. w. S. Zierath, one of the wit
nesses before the closing session of
the committee here, told Of appalling
conditions existing from the social
evil" contracted in disorderly resorts.
He also asserted criminal operations
were common and that there were
two physicians in the city who would
perform such operations for fifty
cents.
Zierath closed his testimony with a
vitriolic attack on the double stand
ard of morality.

and $40 yards of dirt filling.
Whether these things are necessary or
not is not ours to decide at this distance,
but that they are expensive is too self
evident. That other needed appropri-
ations have to be cut short seems to be
necessary if the elephant is to be kept in
good condition. He has an appetite cor

up.

MEMORIAL DAY

Again Memorial Day has come round
Again grateful people will strew gar
lands on the graves of those who went
to battle for the preservation of this
Union.
"But in larger sense we cannot dedi
cate, we cannot consecrate, We cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men
living and dead, who struggled here con-
secrated it far above our power to add OF
detract, Il + 4 1t is for us the living
rather to be dedicated here to the untin-
ished work which they have thus far SC
nobly carried us" Thus spoke Lincoln

have long ago passed beyond the stage
where praise or sneers make much diff.

The veteran who still lives rejoices in
the observance of Memorial Day by the
present generation, not because of the
honors paid to him, but does rejoice be.
cause these honors are paid to what he
represents. He rejoices because of what
these honors mean TO the present and
future of the country which he SO loves.
No other day brings more of patriotic
feeling than does this sacred holiday.

CANDIDATES WHO HAVE FILED

by the courtesy OF Auditor Felson we
are able to inform our readers of the
names of the prospective candidates who
have filed petitions and whose names
will appear on the official ballots at the
primary electlon on June Oath.
At that election as we understand it
only two ballots will be printed, one for
the democratic party and one for the re-
publican party as there are no candidates
listed from. the other parties. In fact
from the listing of party preferences as
taken from the assessors returns from a
large part of the county, the other
parties cut no figure in numbers, even
the Bull-moosers only show up an aver
age of little more than one to precinct.
Three of the Offices are not contested,
the present officials being the only car.
didates, SO that Messrs Wick, Winlaw
and Felson have walk.ctrr. We think
this will be very satisfactory to the bulk
of the voters as these gentlemen, par
ticularly the County Judge and the
Auditor have filed difficult positions
with honor and efficiency, while the
office of the clerk of cours has so small
a salary it isn't worth fighting about
anyway.
Two republicans and one democrat
want to be senators at Bismarck for the
next four years. Only one of them can
attain that honor-whlch is mostly
honor.
Three names on each side show that
the prophet that can name the two to be
elected for the next legislature, will be
wise indeed.
In this district Purdy and Often will
contest the county commissionership,
over in Dist. No. 3 there are four can
didates, and in Dist. No. three candid
ates.which presages prospects of changes
in that august body. 1t looks as if the
candidates thought SO anyway, and are
about to ask the people about it.
There will be race in the county
superintendent business though it is
labelled 'non-partisan."
IT you are good guesser, name the
next sheriff.
A glance at total party preferences
as registered shows almost double the
number of republicans than of other
parties together, and should mean that
every republican candidate would be
overwhelmingly elected next ;all, but
there are whole lot of split-ticket
people in this county as shown by pre-
vlous elections.
But you can vote only the ticket you
told the assessor about at this election.
You will have to stay with the party
this time anyhow, for no split-tlcket
goes this time.
Names of state candidates will be pub
lished later.
