PEYoTE CHEW is GREAT FAv-
oRITE WEED OF INDIANS

Salt Lake City, May because it
is used in religious rites by Indians
of the Utinah basin and for the rea-
son that the drug is not listed among
those in which traffic is specifically
prohibited by federal statute. the
peyote habit among the Indians will
be difficult to curb, according to the
Rt. Rev. Paul Jones, Episcopal bishop
of Utah, who returned yesterday from
the Uintah basin where he made an
investigation of the prevalence of the
peyote habit.
Bishop Jones said the Indians began
chewing peyote when they were told
it was comforter mentioned in the
Bible. Every Saturday night, he said
they met at Randlett to chew the
drug. which they do to the accompani-
ment of strange religious ceremonies.
The habit, he said is growing
among the Indians until now almost
so per cent of those in the Uintah
basin chew it. Many of them, how
ever. have resisted the habit and the
Indians have become so divided over
the propriety of using the drug that
dissension interferred with the annual
bear dance, held two weeks ago.
The bishop said the Indians who
do not chew peyote refused to dance
with those who do. A quarrel ensued
and the dance lasted only three days
instead of a week as usual
Investigation by Bishop Jones dis
closed the fact that peyote has been
used for a number of years by the
Indians of Nebraska and the Dakotas.
He said the drug was introduced in
the Uintah country by an Indian whom
he has cause to believe derives a large
profit from its distribution.
Shipments of the drug, the bishop
said are received at Randlett. He
has as yet been unable to learn who
sends it into the basin.
Peyote is the dried blossom of a
plant of the cactus family. which
grows in Arizona and other parts of
the southwest Herman HORNS, state
chemist. recently analysed it and
found it to contain principles similar
20 those of opium.

WatersIassins Eggs.

Market reports show that eggs have
not been as cheap as they are at the
present time for several years. If you
are going to preserve eggs this year
why not do it now when the price is
down. You are more certain of gath
ering a fresh product than you will be
two months from now
The most successful method yet de.
vised is by the use of water glass (sol.
uble sodium silicate. The formula re
commended when eggs are to be kept
for period of eight o. nine months is
one part water glass to nine parts
water. The water should be boiled or
distilled to remove all impurities. and
cooled before making up the mixture.
If eggs are to kept only short time,
n one-to-fifteen solution will prove
satisfactory.
Water glass secured from a local
druggist costs obout so cents quart
and used in the formula one-to-nine
will preserve approximately 20 dozen
eggs. Glazed earthenware jars make
the best containers. They can be left
uncovered in cool cellar providing
there is at least two inches of the sulu-
ton over the top layer of eggs.
lnfertile eggs are usually consider
ed the best for the purpose. but at
this time of the year fertile eggs will
give equally good results II gathered
regularly AM kent in cool place prior
to preserving. A very good plan is to
make up the sutton and add the eggs
ms they are gotten each day until the
jar is full.--C. S. Anderson, Colorado

Revising the Marriage Ceremony.

Agitation has begun in the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in session at Saratoga
Springs, for further change of the
marriage ceremony. The brides
promise to obey was eliminated sew
eral years ago. without disastrous re
suits. and now the reformers would
omit from the ring ceremony the
words. and with my worldly goods
thee endow." They cause an impe-
cunious groom to imagine the we'd
ding guests are tittering. Further
more statutes are made and provided
for endowment But why use the ring
at all? Although some profess to see
in the mystic circlet an emblem of
continuous, never-ending affection, it
Historically symbolizes the fetter with
which the bride was bound in the
days when men got brides by capture
instead of purchase or wooing. The
best man" is also survival of the
time when the friend of the bride
groom stood off the brides relatives
with a sword or a club. A ring has
its value. after marriage, especially to
novelists. but its use in the ceremony
is anachronistic, in these days of
wifely freedom. If any ring is used
at all. it would be better to follow the
elaborate ceremony of the Greek
Church. and have rings exchanged.
But there have been few ceremonies
that did not contain some signs of
wifely subsection. In Hungary the
groom administered a gentle kick to
the bride. in Russia the father touched
her with new whip. which he pre-
sented to the groom. and in Croatia
the groom boxed the brides ears. The
tapping of the bride on the head with
an old shoe, later presented to the
groom. was another popular way of
reminding her of her proper place in
the matrimonial system.

To Set colors in einahams

1t might be we'll to take precautions
to set the colors" in bingham and
other fabrics at the time the shrink
ing is done, before making them into
new spring garments. Any chemical
substance used to set colors is called
mordant Common household NOR
Lants are as follows: Brine, sugar of
lead, alum and vinegar. They may
be used in the following proportions:
To one gallon of water add one-half
cup mild vinegar, or two cups salt,
or one tablespoon powdered alum, or
one tablespoon sugar of lead"
(poison).
In most cases allowing the material
to soak several hours in the mordant
is sufficient, although with salt and
the material soaks over night. The
material should be thoroughly dried
in the shade. Vinegar is best for
before being washed ond always hang
pinks, brine for blacks. and reds,
sugar of lead for blues and browns,
and alum for greens, lavendars, pur-
pies, etc.
To freshen colors, soak garment in
weak solution of borax before wash
ing. A little ox-gall in the borax
water will help keep weak colors
bright. Miriam NJ. Hoynes, Colorado

A Boys Success With Corn.

The first important thing in corn
growing is the selection of the seed
and this work should be done in the
field. In this way it is easy to select
the largest and most perfect shaped
ears. l always choose my seed corn
from stalks that bear two or more
good ears. The ears should have good
deep kernels and small cobs. | keep
my seed corn in a warm but well-ven-
tilated room until thoroughly dried
Then | store it in dry room. In
preparing for a corn crop here at
Walla Walla I pillow the land deep
the deeper the better. Then / harrow
it thoroughly right after the pillow to
retain the moisture.
| harrow it until it is loose, mel
low and free from clods, then / fur
row it out in rows three feet apart,
using single shovel in making the
burrows. | plant in the furrow, COW
ering about two inches deep. Making
the furrow deep gives a chance to
harrow the land deep and work the
soil in around the young plants until
they are large enough for the cultiva-
tor. 1t also help to hold the moisture
as in planting this way we do not get
high ridges. After the plants are four
or five inches high l begin going
through with a one-horse cultivator
and work once each week until the
corn is tasseled.
The more the land is cultivated the
more moisture it will hold. / have
noticed that the land which is worked
the most always produces the most
corn to the acre. l try to irrigate my
corn directly after / give it the last
cultivation. Corn should be irrigated
often during the latter part of July
and August. l do my planting be-
tween May LIST and 10th Last year
planted about May 5th and 9Th. 1
put in yellow dent corn for my main
crop as l find it out-yields any other
variety l have ever grown This
makes the third year l have planted
this variety. The first year it yield
ed between seventy and eighty bush
els to the acre. The next year the
yield was better and last year it

The passage of a rural credit bill
vote, means that system will be es-
tablished by this Congress of the lead
ers are in earnest. The Senote bill
could be put through the House under
a special rule at any time There are
SO many amendments accepted in com
mittee of the whole as to make it haz-
ardous to comment on the bill until it
is read in its revised form. but its
salient provisions insure that the
bonds based on long-term farm mort,
age will be regarded as gilt-edged
securities at home and abroad. The
capital, surplus and undivided profits
of the land banks will be exempted
from all taxation, federal, state and
municipal 1t is likely that all the cap
ital will be furnished by the treasury
There will be such strict supervision
as to title and appraisement of land
as to insure confidence and the securi-
ties are treated in such manner as
practically to place the credit of the
nation behind them. Whatever criti-
cism the bill may provoke will be di-
rected at its paternalistic features.
Nobody will question the marketability
of the seucrities.
If the Senate bill has been as care
fully drawn as its friends say. there
will be no necessity for much expense
in selling the bonds. 1t will not be
necessary to send out agents to
boost" securities, any more than it
is necessary to employ agents to con-
vince investors how good government
bonds are. This means that the rate
OF interest will be much lower than

Henry F. Ashurst-Nitrogen COM
prises four-fifths of the atmosphere,
and is a constituent of all organized
life and tissues. II is a colorless, taste
less. odorless. gaseous, non-metallic
element. We live in it, We breathe ii,
we eat IT. and It constitutes a portion
of our human frame. II is absolutely
necessary to the existence of animal
and plant life Without fixed nitrogen
the earth would soon become an unin-
habited desert waste. While the at
mosphere contains an eXhaustless
supply of nitrogen, it being estimated
that 10000, 900 tons exist above each
square mile of the earths surface,
yet ninety per cent of the plant life
that lives in 1t does not absorb it and
the remaining ten per cent takes but
a small proportion of that which it
reqires to grow. 1t is a wonderful
providence that perpetual and mex
haustible supplies of nitrogen are OBJ
tanned from the atmosphere by the
use of electric energy from our water
powers. the flow of which is also con-
slant and everlasting. and that thus
our limited supplies of fuel. laid away
by nature, may be conserved for other
uses.
