SECRETARY BARKER REPLIES,

George r. Barker, secretary
of state, has replied to the edi-
torial in last Thursdays TIMES,
under the caption, "Mr. Barker
Please Answer" wherein an
explanation was demanded of
his statement that the state
could not enforce it's contract
with Carey act reclamation COM
panies.
Mr.. Barker neither denies the
statement attributed to him,
nor does he make any attempt
to sustain his assertion. He
charges that the "chief desire"
of THE TIMES 'is to get some-
thing on a Republican Official"
and says he does not have to get
his dope from any editors
viewpoint" On the subject in
question he asserts that the
settlers on the Salmon river
tract will have to agree to pay
more money for their water
rights "to permit the company
to pay for the eliminations, or
the state must declare the con-
tract forfeited" and suggests
that the latter of these two al
ternatives is too doubtful a
remedy to attempt
Mr.. Barker's statement was
not received until late this af-
ternoon, too late for publica-
tiOn in full in this issue; but it
will appear in full in Tuesdays
TIMES.

AUTO TRUCK TAKES PLUNGE.

M. L. Warner, lumberman Of this
city, went over the Morris Hill high
way embankment with his big automo-
bile freighting truck at 10 o'clock last
night, and narrowly escaped death.
He escaped with broken foot, a deep
cut in the leg and serious bruises
about the body, none of which is con-
sidered dangerous. The steering gear
of the truck was broken. Otherwise
the automobile was not damaged

CHINESE GODS
To he shown in the Baptist Sunday
Schools Of This Association on
March 26, 1916.


The Baptist Sunday school super
intendents Of the Peace RiN'
CT Association, and through
ont the south, have each 70.
ccivcd from the Baptist Sunday school
board Of Nashville, Tenn, a real Chi
nese idol, brought from Shanghai
China, ana real hand painted An
cestral Tablet from Japan.
In addition to the above, the real
money which is burned in China as an
Offering to their gods has been sent t.
all superintendent who have applied
for the same.
a most interesting poster which
sot1 forsh American idolatry under
its popular forms Of the worship Of
money and the worship Of pleasure
has been provided.
1t has required six months for a
special committee to gather this and
other material from China, Japan and
elsewhere prepare suitable pro
gram and distribute the same to Is;
900 Sunday schools for use on Mis-.
sionary Day in the Sunday schools
March 26, 1916.
This material for idolatrous worship
has been placed into the hands Of the
Sunday school superintendent, not
that they may teach the Baptists Of
the south to worship idols, but that
they may show clearly and forcibly to
all who are at present at their Sunday
schools on March 20 the utter failure
OF idolatrous worship to accomplish
the salvation Of a human soul.
An attractive program has been
prepared in which different forms Of
heather worship which is used inI
China and Japan before these gods
tablets will he acted out before the
Sunday schools.
Wherever this program is featured !
it is expected that an unusually large
attendance will he present. Fully l..
100000 will attend the Baptist sun
day schools Of the south on March
20. To give unity to the entire day
many pastors will preach upon the
same theme as that set forth in the
program for the Sunday school. The
educational value Of such an occasion
can hardly be estimated.
1t is confidently expected that south.
ern Baptists will contribute for the
support Of home and foreign
missions on March 90 not less than
100000. On a similar occasion last
wear individual schools gave from
few dollars to over $4,000.
The Baptist Sunday schools Of this
association and throughout the south
viii make this the greatest day for
mission education, prayer and giving
'ver known among them.

VALUE of PASTEURIZATION

From a sanitary standpoint the value
OF pasteuriZation is of the greatest i'm
portance when market milk is under
consideration. The pasteuriZation of
milk, when the process is properly per-
formed, affords protection from patho-
genie organisms. Such disease-pro-
ducing bacteria as Bacillus tuberculosis
B. typhi, B. diphtheriae, and the dysen-
terry bacillus, when heated at 14O de-
grees F. for 20 minutes or more, are
destroyed, or at least lose their ability
to produce disease.
According to Mohler, pasteurization
offers protection against foot and
mouth disease. He makes the follow
ing statement: milk which has been
pasteurized for the elimination of tuber-
Gle and typhoid bacilli will not prove
capable of transmitting the disease
(foot-and-mouth) to persons or animals
fed with it," In view of the recent
outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in
this country, this is of Importance.
Within recent years several epidem-
les of septic sore throat have been
traced to milk. In some of these cpl
denies it was found possible by pasteu-
rization to destroy streptococci which
were isolated from throats of infected
people and which were believed to be
the infective agents. Pasteurization,
properly performed, seems to protect
against epidemics of this kind, but un-
til the organism which causes the di-
sease is definitely known, it is impossi-
BILE to say that it affords absolute pro-
lection.
Epidemics of scarlet fever have been
traced to milk supplies, and in such
cases pasteurization has been resorted
to, with apparently satisfactory results,
as a means of safeguarding the public
health
Pasteurization is of value from
commercial standpoint so far as it in
creases the keeping quality of the milk
and prevents financial losses by sour
ing. AS practiced at the present time,
commercial pasteurization, with reason
able care, destroys about 80 per cent of
the bacteria, and while it does not pre-
vent the ultimate souring of milk, it
does delay the process. At the pre-
sent time pasteurization is the best
process for the destruction of bacteria
in milk on a commercial scale.-From

The County Agricultural Agents
and hairy or Winter Vetch.

The growing of legumes in Michigan
needs all the encouragement that can
be given. They gather from the air
the most expensive Of all our plant
foods and store it in the soil for other
plants to use. Of all the legumes none
is more promising for thousands of
Michigan farms than hairy or winter
vetch. 1t will thrive on lighter soils.
1t does not prevent the farmer from
growing his regular crop for it can be
sown in the corn or potatoes or after
the crop is harvested and grows late in
the season and very rapidly in the
spring. 1t thus furnishes a good cover
for fields that often lose more in their
bare condition than cropping takes
from them. Vetch as a food for ami
mails is richer than alfalfa and as
green manure it has no superior.
Realizing the value of this wonderful
plant, the County Agricultural Agents
have done all in their power to en-
courage farmers to grow it. They have
not encouraged its growth where
wheat is grown extensively but there
are large areas of the State where
there is no legume that can take the
place of hairy vetch. Through the ef-
forts of the Agricultural Agent in one
County for two years there are now
over seven thousand acres of hairy
vetch protecting the soil in the winter
and ready to enrich it with green
manure in the spring or to be used as
hay or to produce seed. One man in
that County has realized handsome
income this season from the sale of
vetch seed. This seed is quite high in
price and as most of it comes from
Europe it looks now as though growing
vetch seed in Michigan would be
good business.

More Watchless Waiting

II seems to be the habit of members
of the Wilson administration to read
important papers hastily and then for
get their contents. Many months ago
Admiral Fiske wrote an extended re-
port upon Naval needs, and presented
it in person to Secretary Daniels who
read it, had it filed and then later
denied that he had ever seen it. Now
comes the information that national
organization of chemists made care
full compilation of facts showing that a
dye industry in this country could, up
on a weeks notice, be transformed in
to an explosive factory with capacity
of 10000 shells per day. These facts
were submitted to President Wilson,
handed by him to cabinet officer, by
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1916-06-02

whom they were handed to a bureau
chief who, in turn sent them to a sub
ordinate who wrote a formal note of
acknowledgment. And the admins
tration has done nothing further about
it except defeat Senator Lodges
amendment for a tariff that would
build up a dye industry. II we want
cheap preparedness we shall never get
it more easily or more quickly or estab-
lish it more permanently than through
an extensive dye industry. But we
can't hope for that under Democratic
administration.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM WASHINGTON

The readiness with which the Demo
cratic members of the Senate judiciary
committee acceded to Senator Suther-
lands suggestion for a reopening of
the hearings on the Brandeis nomna-
ton, is regarded here as indicative of
their reluctance to confirm Brandeis
for Judge. 1t is considered equally an
evidence of their unwillingness to bring
the question to direct issue. They
would like to fiddle along with the
matter until Wilson changes his mind
and withdraws Brandeis' name, or un-
til conditions in the Senate are such
that the buck can be passed to some
body, anybody, so long as Brandeis is
not put on the bench and the Demo-
cratic Senators can make a show of
innocence.

The Democratic steering Committee
in the Senate has at last come to the
conclusion which nearly everyone else
has long held, namely, that Congress
will be lucky if it can adjourn by
September. In addition to the ap-
preparation bills and the other necessary
legislation which the country must have
and which it wants there is consider
able program of impracticable measures
which the President insists must be
passed. There will be stiff resistance
to all of these bills, and if Congress can
get home in time to vote, it will be
fortunate.

The West Virginia Congressional
district which has just chosen a Re-
publican to succeed Democrat has the
distinction of having had the President
OF the United States taking a personal
part in the campaign. On one of his
numerous motor trips from the capital
'the lonely man in the White House"
rode out to Harper's Ferry where he
held conclave with the leaders of the
Democratic party in the district and
told them that the approaching by-elec-
tion must be carried at all hazards. The
returns on election night, however,
showed that the Republican had won
by a majority Of several hundred.

When the rural credits bill was be-
fore the Senate, Senator Smoot en-
deavored to have an amendment
adopted reducing the number of Com
missioners from five to three and the
salaries from $4,000 each to $500
each, the same as the salary of a
Senator. This amendment was de-
feated, every vote against it, except
one, being cast by Democrat, and
every vote for it, except one, cast by a
Republican. BY rejecting this amend
ment, the Democrats make the rural
credits system unnecessarily top-heavy
In providing for two unnecessary Com
missioners, the administration incurs an
expense not limited to the $4,000 in
salaries. Each Commissioner must
have an office, with an assistant, a
private secretary, stenographers, travel
ing expenses, etc. The rural credit
system is expected to be self-support-
ing, so each added item of expense is a
handicap to the system and burden to
the borrower. Yet the administration
that denounced the Republicans as
extravagant, insisted on the additional
CommissionerS-as unnecessary as a
fifth wheel to wagon.

"It is pretty safe guess that New
England will return to the old time Re-

Congressman Edward H. Wason of
New Hampshire. "Our people are
tired aud weary of Democracy. The
present administration has been deaf
to the demand for, protection of dye
stuffs sufficient to induce men to 90 in
to the manufacture of the same, but
Notwithstanding all OF the earnest APP
peals of industry, the Ways and Means
Committee has turned a deaf ear to
their entreaties. The workingmen of
New England know this and they
realize how essential dyestuffs are to
their employment. They will take no
chances with a party that temporizes
and does nothing in their behalf"
