Wholesale indictments Of politi-
ciansin Indiana for aIIeged violation
Of election laws, the recent convic-
ton Of number Of public officials
at Terre Haute for election frauds,
and the present condition Of the
city Of Nashville, Tenn, whose af-
fairs are alleged to have been sc
mishandled by its officials that a
receivership for the municipal
corporation may be necessary, are
enough to make voters everywhere
do a lot Of good, hard thinking. II
is a remarkable thing that great
many voters are ready to wink at
vote buying, the voting of dead men
and imaginary men, and the other
we'll known methods Of winning
elections illegally, and are ready to
excuse politicians who do those
things, and even are slow to ask fol
the prosecution Of public officials
who are guilty Of nIisdeeds in
Office.
Even il the men indicted in In
diana should be shown to be not
guilty there are plenty Of incidents
Of corruption in political campaigns
and among public officials to inn
press upon every voter the necessity
of being as nearly sure as he can Of
the uprightness and ability Of every
candidate before he votes for him.
Many men will vote for a candidate
when they practically are sure he
is unfit for the office he seeks, and
vet the same voters will raise a rum
pus if they suspect their butcher is
weighing his thumb along with
the meat he sells them or berry
huckster is using quart measure
with a false bottom in it, although
it is far more important to them tc
be sure that public officials are
strictly honest than that butchers
and hucksters are not guilty of petty
cheating.
Too many men are able to find a
distinction between private honesty
and political honesty. They appar-
emily fail to understand thatif there
is any distinction between them the
latter should be the more jealously
guarded, for dishonest man in
public office, unless he is very
thoroughly hedged about with hon
est men and complete system d
checks upon his uoings, has fal
more opportunity to do harm thar
the dishonest man in private life
1t is every voters business to de
mand strict honesty among men II
office and also that they be electee
to office by strictly honest meth
ods.
There would be little need for re.
form waves in politics if every
voter would set out to reform him
self, frown upon any method Of
selecting candidates and electine
officials that was not above board
and proper and demand that the
public funds be handled as care
fully as those Of depositors in banks.
Arrests Of officials and politicians
by wholesale cause a great stir for a
time but speedily are forgotten and
then suddenly there is need for
another cleanup day. among
them, Political reform will never
amount to very much, will never
be permanent, until voter reform is
accomplished. Real reform has to
begin at the bottom, with the
voter. Elk.

TO LIVE MERCHANTS.

With the Christmas holidays APP
preaching, our citizens will un-
doubted]y arise to the occasion and
boost the prosperity of this town
by doing their Christmas shopping
at home.
Already the "home spirit" is be-
ginning to take deeper root with our
loyal citizens, who are beginning to
realize more clearly than ever be-
fore that if we are to be prosper
Gus community we must consider
not only the interests of self, but
the interests of the community as
whole.
That can only be done by keeping
as much as possible of our money at
home and in circulation among our
home people.
But as a matter of common fair
ness, it should be remembered that
the people have rights that must be
respected as we'll as the merchants.
Very few people have time to
chase all over town and paw over
the goods in every store in order to
decide on what they want. Life is
too short, and the household and
business cares are entirely too pres
sing to admit of the waste of so
much time.
1t is but natural, therefore, that if
you have Christmas goods for sale
the people will expect you to tell
them about those goods in order
that they may start out on their
shopping tours with at least reas-
enable knowledge of what they want
where they can find it, and what it

MAKE BIG FORTUNE
ON BOGUS FILMS

That gang of moving picture nj
rates has made good sized fortune
within the last few months by SELL
ing counterfeit duplicates of
Charles Chaplin films was revealed
by the arrest of Abraham George
Levi, a moving picture broker OF
las West Forty-fifth street, who
was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Clarence s. Houton
on a charge of violating the crimi
nal section of the infringement law.
Levi, according to Assistant Uni
ted States Attorney Harold A. Con-
tent, operated as the Chaplin Film
company. In three months, it is
said, he has sold outright at least
$4,000 worth of the counterfeit
films, chiefly in the west. His arrest
is only the second of it's kind in this
district under the copyright law.
Profits Enormous.
"The profits made by these per-
sons, / am given to understand, are
enormous" said Mr.. Content. "That
can be readily understood from the
fact that it costs the pirates about
31a cents foot to duplicate the
reels, whereas it costs the legitimate
companies several thousand dollars
a film because of the big salary and
royalties paid Chaplin"
But One Play Named in Charge
Levi is specifically charged with
infringement of the copyright on
1.-THE Champion" a film owned by
the Essanay Film Manufacturing
company, with which Chaplin now
has a contract which is said to bring
him over $1,000 a week.

maintained, the bird would be Of more
benefit than harm to the apiary.
The Cassin kingbird has more
southerly range than the Arkansas
fiycatcher. Examination of number
Of stomachs shows that its food habits
are similar to those of others of the
group.
Three points seem to be clearly es-
tablished in regard to the food of the
kingbirds-(1) that about 80 per cent
consists of insects, mostly injurious
species: (2) that the alleged habit of
preying upon honeybees is much less
prevalent than has been supposed, and
probably does not result in any great
damage; and CD that the vegetable
food consists almost entirely of wild
fruits which have no economic value.
All Of the kingbirds are OF the
greatest Importance to the farmer and
fruit grower, as they destroy vast
numbers of harmful insects, and do no
appreciate damage to any product Of
cultivation.

TEACHING CAUSES BIG LOSS
Leaving Manure In Pile Reduces Ito
Plant Food VaIue-lt Should Be
Spread on Ground.

Fifty per cent of the value OF
manure is lost by teaching If 1t Is
left in a pile for six months. says r.
/. Throckmorton, assistant professor
of soils In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. To get the greatest
value from manure, it should be spread
directly on the ground, SO as to give
the rain a chance to wash the plant
food into the SOIL
Piling the manure in the field to
bee scattered later is not good plan.
The place where the pile lay will be
SO enriched that small grain will lodge
il planted there. The labor is also in
creased.
It is a good plan, advised Profes-
sor Throckmorton, to spread manure
thinly as top dressing for wheat or
alfalfa land during the fall or win
ter. 1t is also valuable as top
dressing on plowed ground but should
be narrowed in the spring. 1t is bet
ter to put 40 tons Of manure on four
acres than 40 tons on one acre.
IL much live stock is kept on the
farm, the bottom of an old straw
stack should not be used on the field.
Use it for bedding first and it viii
be greatly increased in value.

aeis there were in all 81 honeybaes,
Of which 81 were drolles, were Ger.

Identified.
The insects that constitute the
great bulk of the food are noxious
species, largely beetles May beetles,
click beetles (the larvae of which are
known as wireworms), weevils, which
prey upon fruit and grain and host
of others. Wasps. wild bees and ants
are conspicuous elements of the food,
far outnumbering the hive bees. Dur
ing summer many grasshoppers and
crickets, as well as leaf hoppers and
other bugs, also are eaten. In the
stomachs examined were number of
robber f1ies-insects which prey large
ly upon other insects, especially honey
bees, and which are know to commit
in this way extensive depredations. It
is thus evident that the kingbird, by
destroying these flies, actually does
good work for the apiarist. The 26
robber flies found in the stomachs may
be considered more than an equiva-
lent for the eight worker honeybees
already mentioned. A few caterpil-
lars are eaten, mostly belonging to
the group commonly known as cut
worms, all the species of which are
harmful.
About II per cent of the food con-
sists of small native fruits, comprising
some thirty common species of the
roadsides and thickets, as dogwood
berries, elderberrfes and wild grapes.
The kingbird is not reported as eating
cultivated fruit to an injurious extent,
and 1t is very doubtful il this is ever
the case.
In the western states the Arkansas
kingbird is not SO domestic in its hab-
its as its eastern relative. preferring
to live among scattering oaks on
lonely hillsides, rather than in or
chards about buildings. The work 1t
does, however, in the destruction of
noxious insects fully equals that OF
any member Of its family. Like other
flycatchers, 1t subsists mostly upon In
sects taken in midair, though 1t eats
number of grasshoppers, probably
taken from the ground. The bulk of
its food consists of beetles, bugs,
wasps and wild bees. Like its east
ern representative, it has been accused
OF feeding to an injurious extent upon
the honeybee. In an examination OF
81 stomachs of this bird, great care
was taken to identify every insect or
fragment that had any resemblance to
a honeybee; as result, 80 honeybees
were identified, Of which 20 we're
males or drones. and one worker.
These were contained in four stom-
achs, and were the sole contents OF

SO per cent OF the food. It is evident
that the bee-eating habit is only occa-
sionai and accidental, rather than
habitual: and It ID also evident that.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Because 1t is a useful crop for both
his stock and his own family. the
farmer will find that 1t will pay him
to give more attention to rape than 1T
usually receives. AS human food,
when 1t is often known as smooth or
spring kale, it Is quite as good as
kale or collards and may be prepared
In the same way. AS feed for hogs,
sheep, cows and chickens, 1t is the
most important plant Of the cabbage
family. The seed Is also cheap, re-
failing usually at about ten cents a
pound.
The most common use of rape Is as
pasture crop for hogs or sheep.
Many animals do not like rape at first,
but will eat it readily after they have
acquired the taste. A liberal supply
of salt will tend to prevent the purging
which rape often produces. With hogs
there is no danger from bloating. With
cattle, however, this danger does ex-
list to some extent and it is well, there
fore, to avoid pasturing them on pure
rape. If supply of hay or straw
is kept convenient, the animals will
instinctively turn to that when they
begin to bloat, and when cattle can
pass readily from rape to grass pas
ture, cases of bloating are rare. I'm
der any circumstances, however, cattle
should not be turned into a rape pas
ture when it is wet with dew or rain,
or when they are very hungry.
Cattle eat rape readily but destroy
considerable by trampling, especially
where the rape is broadcasted. In
broad rows the damage is less, for the
animals usually walk between the
rows. When cut and stall fed, rape
should be given to dairy cows Just
after milking; otherwise it may faint
the milk.
AS feed for all kinds of poultry
rape is also excellent.
Time of Seeding.
Rape is cool-season crop, and in
the South should, therefore, be planted
In the fall or in very early spring. The
crop is not injured by ordinary win
tiers in the South, but of course the
growth is slow in cold weather. In
the fall it is best seeded from August
Is to October Is. Later seeding is
scarcely advisable, except near the
Gulf coast and in Florida. In the
spring 1t should be seeded just as
early as danger of freezes Is past. The
earlier seedlings nearly always give
the largest yields, as growth, is

RIOTS HURT SWEET POTATOES
Greatest Losses in Oklahoma Due to
Two Fungi-Crop Rotation Should
Be Practiced.
(By C. d. Learn, Oklahoma Agricultural
Co1lege.)

(By C. D. Learn, Oklahoma Agricultural
Co1lege.)
There are several diseases which
are quite common to the sweet potato
in this state, but probably the great
est losses are due to the two fungi
causing the soft rot and the black rot.
The two forms cause very different
rot hence the names of the two dis
eases.
A fungus is a plant which repro
duces by spores which are the same
as seeds; but the fungus gets it's food
by sending slender filaments into an
other plant, termed the host. These
filaments are similar to a root OF
the common plant, which gathers
food.
The soft rot is probably less COM
mon and OF minor importance, for it
causes it's trouble on bruised pota-
toes while in storage. It gains en-
trance through bruised area while
black rot does not necessarily need a
bruised surface.
The black rot has seemed to be
more common in the vicinity of the
agricultural college the past year than
for three. years. This disease is OF
great importance as 1t Is parasitic and
causes a rot which may not be no.
ticed in its early stages. 1t appears
as q dark colored snnken area and
gradually increases in size until this
area is very large and very much
sunken, and by making cross-section
of the potato through such an area one
may easily note the dark, diseased
tissue.
II the diseased potatoes are used for
taking slips from they will In all prob
ability be infected. The infection is
noticed as small. black area. There
may be several such infections on
slip. II the slips ere too badly infect
ed the plant may die after being set
out; or it may not be vigorous In
growth. At least there Is chance of
the potatoes being badly diseased
when harvested.
The fungus causing black rot may
live over in the soil for an indefinite
time. Such being the case, the best
method Of controlling the fungus is to
select potatoes not diseased. Plant the
potatoes, from which slips are takens
IN soils where no disease has been pre-
viously, and, last, set your slips out
where there has been no diseased POI
tatoes grown.
