STANDARD BARREL BILL
I PASSED BY CONGRESS
Federal Government to Take Control
Over Weights and Measures
Of Country

Washington, Jan. 13.-For the
first time in the history the federal
government will exercise its constitu-
tional control over the weights and
measures of the country under a bill
agreed to today by the House and
which already has passed the Senate
establishing a standard barrel for
fruits, vegetables and other dry COM
modities. Heretofore all efforts to
pass measures through Congress for
that purpose have failed.
The standard Darrell bill, introduc.
ed by Representative futile, pro.
vides for barrel with twenty eight
and one half inch slaves and seven
teen and one eighth inch head, made
of material not thicker than four
tenths of an inch, however, any bar
rell having a capacity of 1855 cubic
inches will be considered standard.
A separate standard is fixed for Gran,
berry barrels, owing to peculiar prob
lens of packing involved.
Under the law 1t would be a mis-
demeanor punishable by a fine Of
$500 or Imprisonment for six months
to sell or offer for sale in the United
States a barrel containing fruits, veg.
etables or other dry commodities Of
less capacity than a standard barrel
or its legal subdivisions. Goods pack
ed for export in barrels built to meet
specifications Of the foreign country
to which they are to be shipped are
excepted.

Blessed are the thrifty, for they
shall save things and have them in
time OF need. But some people are
more blessed than others. because they
use more wisdom and judgment in de-
Gliding what they shall save. There
are those. for instance. who recklessly
spend themselves in order to save
their money only to find when It is
too late that their money is Of no
value to them. Then there are 9th.
ers who spend their money to save
themselves. says Life. II one knows
how to spend his money properly to
save himself, he need never worry, for
he will always be able to make more
money.

Utah Dry Farming Ti||age and
Rotation Experiments Of General
Interest to all Dry-FarmerS

Where a good stand was obtained
and little winter killing followed,
winter wheat after fallow yielded
more than winter wheat on continu-
ously cropped land. This depends
largely upon the season, however, and
the continuously cropped pat, owing
to volunteer grain, yielded as well or
better than other plats in the test in
seasons of much winter killing.
The average acre yield of winter
wheat for five years was less after
fallow than after corn, potatoes, or
peas. In many cases, however, the
yields OF the intertilled crops were
Improbable.

Charles Petersen, blacksmith, GIT
North First East street, Logan, says:
II take Doan's Kidney Pills whenever
feel that my kidneys are not act

tests shows no difference in the
yields of winter wheat seeded at
different depths. The yields were
greatly influenced by conditions at
seeding time.
The ordinary drilling of winter
wheat has given more profitable
yields than broadcasting or cross
drilling.
The results Of three years expert
ments show that winter wheat sown
at the rate of four to five pecks per
acre is more profitable than when
sown at three pecks per acre, the
rate ordinarily used on the dry lands
Of the Great Basin.
CuItivating and Harvesting
The average yields of five years
favor no spring cultivation OF winter
wheat. The noncultivated plats
yielded 17.05 bushels, as compared
with $3.50 bushels from those cult
waited. There was no apparent diff
ference in the moisture content OF
the plats. A test made in the spring
of 1913 showed that II. 81 per cent

The results of four years favor
harvesting when the grain is in the
hard dough stage.

HOUSE LINES DRAWN
FAR SUFFRAGE BATTLE
Plants Wife No. and Her Baby on
the Train as His Other
Family Arrives

Kenosha, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE Rev.
James Morrison Darnell, pastor of
the Henry NJ. Simmons Memorial
church gave up his pulpit here today
Immediately after Doris Vaughan Oar
nell, the 16 year old girl he had mar
ried in Chicago last November, had
overruled his objections and came
here to join him in his church work
The night before, when Darnell had
learned that his wife was determined
to come here, Mrs. Ruth Sopher Oar
nell, to whom the minister had re-
ferred to as his wife, left hurriedly
with her baby for her home in Owa
tonna, MINI.
Darnell, whose marriage to Doris
Vaughn was performed by the Rev.
Myron Z. Adams, November 4, 1914,
returned to Chicago with her and is
now at her home. To the trustees OF
the church he showed clippings from
an Owatonna paper announcing the
birth OF son to the Rev. James
Morrison Darnell and wife and giving
the date Of their marriage as Octo-
Der, 1918.
Darnell came to the Simmons
church November 1. He had served
for a short time as pastor of the
Church Of Unity in Hinsdale, ILL.,, and
as pastor of the Church of Good It'd.

Darnell and her child came a day or
so later. She took up the life Of q
pastors wife, took her Sunday school
class and her days were soon occu'
pied.
In the meantime Darnell received
a daily letter from his Chicago bride
urging that she be allowed to take
up her home with him in Wisconsin.
Darnells replies told Of the discom
forts of his life as a roomer with his
widowed cousin and her child.

is said Darnell wrote her OF a small
pox epidemic, OF which he said he
had become victim and that he was
locked in on isolation hospital and
finally that his cousin had lost her
life through the disease.
Then Mrs. Darnell telegraphed that
she would start from Chicago at
once for Kenosha. Mr.. Darnell took
Ruth Sopher Darnell and her baby To
the train bound for Minnesota. He
met his wife the next morning and
explained the situation which he said
was complicated but innocent. She
was satisfied, but the trustees OF the
church were not. The pastor there
fore rendered his resignation and
went to Chicago with his wife.

SHOULD COOL OFF GRADUALLY
Mistake to Turn the Hose on Per-
spring Team, Is the Assertion
of Veterinarian.

Tn this hot weather there are al
ways a number of fools who think
they are kind to their horses when
they turn a hose on them and drench
them with cold water to thoroughly
cool them off" said veterinarian as
he stopped a driver from throwing
water over his perspiring team. IF
the horse Is oyerheated," he contin-
ued, the shock of such a bath on
the region where the kidneys are sit
uated Is enough to kill 1t, and even II
it does no apparent harm the horse
will succumb much more readily to
the heat afterward. After horse has
been working in the broiling sun it
should be cooled off as gradually as
possible The first thing to do is to
take a sponge and wash out its mouth.
This removes the saliva, which is poi
sonous, and refreshes the animal
greatly, before it can be allowed to
have a drink. After this the horse
should have its four legs bathed-the
hind ones as far as its launches, the
front ones up to the chest. Then it
is safe to wet its head, neck and the
part of its back Immediately behind
the neck. Care should be taken. how
ever, to keep the region of the kid
neys perfectly dry. This habit of
driving a team up before fire en-
CINE house and playing a hose indis-
criminately over their bodies is ac-
countable for the death of many good
horses every summer"
