STOCkYARDS ATTIRE
Save HOO Hogs From Flames and
Free Stampeding Cattle.

Cleveland, O.. Oct 2.-Firemen this
afternoon gave up hope of saving the
union stock yards here from a fire
that started shortly before noon.
1t is believed that the fire was
started by incendiaries. who fired
several bales of straw near the load
ing chutes in the hog pens. More than
1,4OO hogs in cars nearby were hauled
away safely, but several carloads of
cattle were turned loose from the
pens and ran wild about the stock
yards.

Good Roads Department
Conducted Especially for the Banner by Hon. P.
+. Colgrovc, President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

An article in the American City
has this to say about the Columbia
River highway:
"The Cascade mountains in western
Oregon have hitherto constituted an
almost insuperable obstacle in the
proper development of the state.
While the faith of the Oregonians
was not strong enough perhaps To
move those mountains, it was suffi-
cient to conceive and carry through
the construction of a highway over
them in a section requiring extremely
difficult and skillful engineering.
Thus the magnitude of the obstacle
has been considerably reduced for the
inhabitants of northwestern Oregon
and southwestern Washington.
Despite the mountainous barrier
Oregon has grown rapidly. A real
demand had arisen for a roadway
which would make the so-called in
land empire-that vast territory east
of the Cascade range-accessable by
wagon and automobile to the people
living in the region of Puget sound
as well as those living over in tho
Willamette valley and in the lower
Columbia basin. 1t is now possible
for the first time in history to drive a
wagon from the wheatfelds of east
ern Oregon through the Cascade
range to the sea.
The Columbia River Highway skirts
the Columbia river from Astoria, near
its mouth, running through Portland,
and extending to Hood River, small
town about $50 miles down stream.
All steep and dangerous grades are
eliminated. The new construction is
of the highest type, and the tunnel in
the face of the cliff at Mitchell Point,
with the concrete viaduct approaches
is considered one Of the most won
derful pieces Of highway construction
in existence. 1t is said to be equal
to the famous Axenstrasse Of Swift
zerland.

The Reason for Prohibition

In any quarter, it is no longer dis
puted that the beverage traffic in in
toxicating liquors is an evil. The IL
quor dealers themselves generally adj
NIT this. The general consenus of
opinion is that it is, at least, highly
dangerous. Throughout the civilized
world, this traffic is hedged in by re-
strictive or prohibitory laws. Where
it is permitted at all, extraordinary
license fees are demanded to COM
pensate, in part, for the damage that
the traffic does to the community.
Traffic that is useful to society and
not fraught with danger to the peo-
pie is everywhere encouraged and
promoted by law and by public au-
thorities. In some cases. bounties
are given to aid this or that industry.
But the liquor traffic is singled out
among them all to be hedged about
by law, by city ordinance and by po-
lice restriction. The hours of sale
are limited Sales to certain persons
are prohibited. Because of it's in
herent danger to the people, legisla-
tive endeavor is directed to reducing
to the least possible minimum the
amount of liquor consumed. The
laws publicly advocated by the liquor
corporations themselves are of this
character.

When Portland, Ore, fires the gun
that will witness the opening Of the
tenth annual rose festival, June z, ii
will also be the signal for the world
wide dedication of the famous Column
bia River highway, the new roadway
recently completed through the gorge
of the Columbia river. Until the
building of the highway the gorge
was impossible except by train or
steamboat.
The first forty miles of roadway
cost more than $4,000, 900, or an aver
age of $4,000 per mile. At one
point on the highway the road is more
than 700 feet above the river. 1t is
known as Crown Point, and a men,
orial to the pioneers Of Oregon is now
being erected.
The road was hard surfaced late in
1915, with the result that it is now
open for tourist travel the year
around. Recently the United States
government set aside $4,000 acres
from the Oregon national forest for
recreation purposes. This land bor-
ders the highway and is veritable
fairyland, with it's winding paths,
waterfalls, fishing grounds and gor-
geous scenery.
For miles the highway hangs to
the precipitous cliffs of the gorge
opening up one of the grandest views
of the kind in the world. Crown Point
is view thirty-five mills in either
direction east and vast of the Oregon
and Washington shore lines of the
Columbia river.
When the highway is dedicated
June z it is expected prominent men
and women from all parts of the
country will be present. Governors
of all states are being invited. The
president and his cabinet will be urg-
ed to attend, as will representatives
of foreign governments at Washing
ton.

John Mitchell vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
chairman of the State Commission Of
New York, says:
eff brewery is closed down, in its
place springs up factory. If a sa-
loon is closed, in its place comes a
store. 1t is simply a process we'll
known to union men, the same pro-
cess as follows the introduction Of
machinery. 1t is a reimbursement, a
changed condition of society. Almost
every disturbance in the ranks of or
ganized labor can be traced back to
som connection with the saloon.
In various ways and on many &C.
casions the evil influence of the sa-
loon has been recognized and pointed
out by the labor unions of the United
States. While the liquor interests
have sought to convey the impression
that there was some common interest
between trade unionism and the man.
ufacture and sale of intoxicants, this
suggestion is repealed on every oc-
casion when the matter is presented
to the labor men in it's true light and
when the malign purpose of the liquor
interests is exposed to view"

Urge Individual Pals Tor AnimaIs

Urge Individual Pals for Animals
H. H. Halliday, president Of the
state livestock sanitary commission,
maintains that horse owners of cat
tie drovers would protect their ami
mails from disease more efficiently by
using individual drinking pals when
passing through the country or water
ing their animals at rivers or streams
rather than at the public drinking
troughs.
President Halliday supports his ar
gument with facts recently developed
in the city Of Jackson where the COM
mission ordered a horse killed that
had developed very pronounced
case Of the much-dreaded CHAMBERS.
This disease is not only fatal to
horses, but is communicable to man.
History of veterinary practice shows
that a number Of the country's best
practitioners have suffered a horrible
death from CHAMBERS while treating
horses. M
The Jackson animal, says President
Halliday, had drank from nearly ev-
cry public drinking trough in the city
and country near Jaikson. How
many other animals have been infect
ed from this horse is conjectural, but
it is expected that other cases will
develop in time.
"The need of individual water pals
is obvious" says President Halliday.

On uOme lIdOInK
The Record Eagle of Traverse City
aptly says of the mail order out-of-
town trading:
Zone of the most serious Affections
that can strike town is the mail or
der bug which burrows under the skin
of the body polite, saps the life blood
from the community and then infects
the victim with diseases which in
time prove fatal. 1t is a fact that
every dollar that is sent out-of-town
for goods means just that much less
money in circulation to carry on the
legitimate business of the community.
1t means just that much less with
which to trade, pay taxes with and to
lay by in the sock for spell of bad
weather which is liable to come at any
time in the career of the individual.
The prosperity of town depends up
on the prosperity of the people who
reside there and the degree Of COM
munity patriotism that they exhibit
upon all occasions. If the people all
trade at home business will be good,
but if they persist in sending away
for what they need then the whole
population will feel the baleful eff
fects of the practice. BY trading at
home you provide more employment
for people living in your trade terri
tory. BY trading with home merch-
ants you keep your money at home
and it thereby enables the community
to build more good roads over which
people can travel to reach your town
and spend their money with you. Ev-
cry citizen of town should be loyal
enough to that town to spend his
money where it is earned. This kind
lightens the tax burdens and in
creases the amount of public comforts
in the town. By trading away from
home the person who does so openly
confesses himself mercenary instead
of a patriot, thereby casting a reflec-
ton upon his home town. Business
is after all a cooperative plan and
when the people fail to cooperate
with the merchant business will be
poor, everybody in the community will
feel the effects of the industrial drag
The one sure way to bring about local
prosperity is to buy and sell at home
and give every encouragement to the
merchants to build up their stocks to
a point where it will be possible for
them to supply every need of their
customers. With your undivided sup
port they will be able to do this, but
if you send your money out of town
the home merchant will have to cut
corners to meet his bills and you as
well as he will feel the actual pinch
of hard times at home. Stand by the
old home town and the town will
stand by you and prosper to degree
that will even exceed the dreams of
the most pronounced optimist in the
region.

On Toboggan Slide

Booze and the dramshop are on the
toboggan slide. The citizens of Michi-
gan stand upon the threshold of a
new day in their civic life. In full
harmony with the progress for con-
servation of public health, protection
of public morals, and promotion of
public welfare, the state is rapidly
moving toward the total humiliation
of the liquor traffic. The experience
of eight years has taught the taxpay-
ers Of Michigan that the saloon Ii
cense is the worst asset that COM
munity can have, and that the larger
the unit of prohibition is, the greater
it's benefits.

A Parable of Modesty

NOW L walked down q highway
called Dearborn Street which leadeth
unto a Railway Station, for / was to
take Train. And l hasted. And
there stood in a doorway two Dam
sells of the Tribe of the Gipsies, and
above the one was a Scroll with Stars
and Moons and Comets, and above the
other was drawn the image of a
great Hand. For they were NEGRO
mancers, and Soothsayers. Therefore
stood they in the Gate, and besought
men to come and have their Fortunes
Told.
And there walked ahead of me in
the Street two Maidens, who likewise
were on their way to the Station.
And they lifted up their eyes and be-
held the Gipsies, and they scorned the
Gipsies; and they withdrew themsel-
yes a little toward the other side of
, the Pavement. And this l beheld,
for / walked behind them.
Now the Maidens who walked
ahead of me were Dressed according
to the Fashion, and Then Some. For
their White Kid Shoes were Very
High. And there had been a Strife
the Hem of their Skirts which should
could not attain unto the Height of
the Dresses. But this l noticed not
at the first, for was in haste, neither
do l regard such matters.
But the Gypsy girls beheld, and
they regarded. And one of them
spake to her Companion, and the
words heard not; but it was as if she
said, Those girls Dress Like This.
And she began to show her Com
panion. But before she had done
what she began to do her Companion
was shocked, and warned her so that
she Ceased. Yea, she herbelf felt
shame at what she had begun to do,
and she looked lest some one should
have seen her.
All this beheld as passed by, and
the words they spake heard i none,
But / thought the Maidens in the
Street said, Behold those Immodesi
Gypsy Girlsl
And the Gypsy girls made as
though they said, Behold those I'm
modest American Girls.
But / do not know that any OF
them said of these things, for heard
not. But what mine eyes saw, that
tell; for / am man of truth.

POULTR Y
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT

Poultry Farmers Should Have Club
Every person who handles poultry
should be member of poultry club,
according to N. l.. Harris, superinten-
dent of the poultry farm of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College.
Poultry clubs are organized to
benefit the farmer and the breeder"
says Mr.. Harris. "They not only help
him commercially, but also aid him
in maintaining the vitality of the
flock.
"There are certain times of the
year when poultry packers are on the
lookout for certain kinds of poultry
and poultry products. If they knew
of a locality where they could get a
carload 70 the produce they are will
ing to pay several cents above mark
ct quotations. If the community
would organize and raise one type of
poultry it would only be short while
until it would have an established
market. Prices would also be above
those received for ordinary mixed
birds.
"One of the great advantages of
this class of organization is the elm
nation of the necessity of having to
send off for so many breeding males.
Those who are interested can see just
what they are buying and know what
sort of record is back of the males.
BY proper management a few high
class males purchased once in three or
four years will furnish ample new
blood for the entire neighborhood.

get out of cone shape. / believe
the most of the trouble is in the way
the silos are rooted and in not having
the chutes protected with a door and
in letting thesilage freeze on the
slaves, after which the frost works
inward until it reaches the center of
the silage.
We have had our silo up four years
and have never been bothered with
frozen ensilage and believe that it is
all due to the fact that we take the
above precautions.
Horses and Automobiles
Frozen roads are what you might
call death to motor cars. They cut
tires to ribbons and shake machinery
out of joint. Day after day l tramp
the public roads and find on them ten
horses to one machine. The farmer
is growing wise. He has discovered
that his bright new machine will be-
come dilapidated and wheezy if run
in winter weather, and so he keeps it
oused while the ever faithful horse
draws the wagon, light or heavy, and
does not get stuck in the drift or
mire, writes Hamilton Busbey, in the
american Horse Breeder"
With the price of gasoline steadily
climbing, the expense of running
machine is greater than driving a
horse, and the farmer always counts
the cost. In summer, the machine
is much in evidence on the National
Road, especially on Saturday and
Sunday, and the horse is reserved for
for short drives.
Five days of the week in summer
the farmer has duties to perform,
and then the great highway has a
deserted look. But, when Sunday
comes, tie preacher does not see him.
He is flying through clouds of dust
to exchange greetings with distant
friends.
1t is folly to talk about the horse
becoming a back number in agricul-
tural communities. He does work
which machines cannot do, and is a
safe dependence in all kinds of wealth
er.
AS l take my daily exercise on the
highways and drive long distances on
them | know what | am talking about.

with my own eyes. The paid stories
in some of the daily papers do not
mislead the well-informed.

This serious European pest to cur
rants and gooseberries has been in
PRODUCED into some Of the fruit-grow-
ing sections. The fly that deposits
the eggs to produce the currant
worms appear very early in the
spring as soon as the early leaves
are put out. The eggs are deposited
along the main veins on the under
side of the leaves, ind the ittle
worms, when they first hatch, eat
small hole through the leaves, which
readily enables the fruit-grower to
detect their presence.
AS soon as the infestation appears,
the bushes should be thoroughly
sprayed with arsenate of lead in the
proportion of about l ID. of paste to
each 80 gallons of water. If this early
spraying is not made, and the insect
is found to be feeding upon the foil
age, the worms may then be destroy
ed by spraying the bushes with white
hellebore in the proportion of / OF.
to 3 gallons of water.
The first brood of this insect often
does but little damage, but the Sec
ond brood, which comes on late in
July or early in August, often strips
the bushes of their leaves completely
and so weakens them that they can
not bear a crop of fruit the following
season.
Whenever the worms are found
feeding upon the foliage, the treat
ment above mentioned should be
promptly made.
