NOXIOUS WEEDS
DEMAND ATTENTION

Editor Herald:
Almost every year | have called
attention to the noxious weed nui-
sance, growing in the streets, allies,
lots, along the railroad tracks, pub
lie roads and farms, through your
valuable paper.
So far what is the result?
The weeds are disseminated over
larger areas each year and become
more numerous continually. Som e
think the Jim Hill mustard will not
amount to much in the Palouse
country and pass it on with COM
placency, Is it not fact that stocks
six feet high can be seen in places
where it has not been clicked out
by other growths? 1t will mature
seed if only six inches high and be
ready to grow next year as high as
conditions will allow it.
This being the case, | will relate
to you the vicissitudes that friend
of mine has passed through in the
St, John country, trying to combat
the j. II. / desire to state also that
he is one of the most careful farm
ers that | know.
He plowed his summer fallow
early year ago, after which he har-
howed it seven times. l disremem-
Der whether he disked before seed
ing in the fall, but | remember that
he said that he seeded and followed
with the harrow, making eight har-
rowings, and I believe disking. Be-
ing an unusual winter, his grain was
frozen out badly. so much so that he
disked up 200 acres, narrowed it
three times, seeded it and narrowed
it again, and now the Jim Hill mus
stard is almost as high as his wheat.
Some of the fall wheat that he did
not re-sow has the mustard in it so
high that a man can not see out of
it, and he failed to be able to cut it
with a binder.
We know that this is an unusual
case and that this year is unusual,
being wet and cold, so that the
wheat did not make much growth,
nor stool as it should, and quite a
drouth followed, so that fall wheat
did poorly until late, but the weeds
are up to standard.
Suppose that the whole country
should become infested and such
conditions should exist all over the
country, what would the farmer, the
merchant or anyone else do?
| I suppose that the county expert
would say dairy" but the cows
would not thank you much for the
j. H. mustard, and would give milk
in proportion.
Would it not be wise course tc
annihilate the noxious weeds now
rather than be dilatory and brinl
ruin to one of the best countries on
earth?
| Remember the old saying, "a
stitch in time saves nine" and act
accordingly, for the benefit of all

CROWDING THE LIMIT

The adoption of prohibition laws
by this and other states was largely
brought about by the folly of the dis
pensers and consumers of intoxicat-
ing liquors in constantly crowding
the limit of the regulations imposed
upon the traffic. That they have not
profited by the lesson is proved by
their attempts to abuse the permit"
provision of the law now in force in
this commonwealth. The high.

Sailed Herrinqs.

Centuries ago William Buckets, a
Hollander Of Berwick, made the then
astonishing discovery that salt would
preserve fish and that sailed fish could
be packed and exported. Before his
time behring's had to be consumed
within a few days Of their capture
Buckets sailed them. In 1886 William
Buckets sailed the first hundred Of
behring's, and, having sailed them. he
packed them in barrels. This exercise
of common sense resulted in singu-
lar development of the resources Of the
country. The English fisheries were
not as prominent 500 years ago as
they are now. and Holland had for a
time almost a monopoly Of a market
which she was able to create and to
supply. Buckets had not to wait 500
years to have his claim to public graf
itude recognized. Charles " had
statue erected to the mackerel sater
who became the benefactor of his
country. Queen Mary Of Hungary,
however, paid him even greater honor.
During her residence in Holland she
discovered his tomb and, seated upon
it, ate sailed herring.

MUCH REJOICING IN BoYLAND
Stock of Castor Oil Bean Is Getting
Low, and Importers Supply
Is Cut Of.

Those youthful days of trouble
when a Teller needs a friend" are
about to be ameliorated in one vital
instance. The castor bean is getting
scarce.
Castor oil is made from the castor
bean, which has it's main habitat
somewhere in the purlieus of Bombay.
Yates & Co., who have agreed to sup
ply the municipal departments with
pure castor oil during the present
fiscal year at $1.14 gallon, notified
the board of supervisors of their in
ability to fill acquisitions and asked
to be released from their contract.
The firm stated that the three prin-
cipal producers could not furnish it
on account of the war and that each
had offered premiums for castor beans
in all the markets, but had been un-
able to obtain them.
And here and there might be heard
In childish treble:

INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY

A professor down in Nevada who
probably wants a job for himself anG
lot of his graduates is urging con-
aress to establish and support a
large plant for chemical research
His modest plan calls for only $780,
100000 to start the ball rolling and
$6,000,000 a year to keep it going. OF
course this must seem like a mere
dab of loose copper change to a man
like Uncle Sam who shells out the
bundles Of coin for the research OF
the agriculture department, research
that is monument of duplication,
impracticability, and job-making.
Perhaps these troublous times will
sober up our Uncle Sam, and he will
stop spending his money in reck-
less style that would make a drunken
sailor look like Methodist teetotaler.
Certainly, we believe and hope he will
be in no mood to build up chemical
bureau for the Nevada theorist.
Industrial chemistry is one of the
most admirable subjects pursued in
the world today We think that of all
subjects of research it is perhaps the
most valuable and the most justi-
fled by results. But to research car
ried on by government we are I'M
.qualifedly opposed And we do not
believe that the United States can
Drofitably engage in chemical research
any more than it now engages prof
itably in a great part of our agrlcul-
tural research
We believe that gigantic practical
benefits would accrue to this coun-
try from having private enterprises
pursue, to any limit, research in in
dustrial chemistry
Private funds, unlike government
funds, are managed with some view to
the cost of the experiment, to the
likelihood of there being market for
the product after it is made, and for
the probability that the price of and
quality of the new article or process
will offset any advantages held by ar
ticles and processes already in use.
Government employees don't give a
wboop how much it costs to make an
experiment, whether the gathering OF
the data is worth while, whether the
lob has been done by somebody else,
or whether the tiniest speck of actual,
everyday, common sense, commercial
value will ATTACH to the discoveries
that are made and the conclusions
that are arrived at.
Government enterprises in research
beeet extravaganza, job-creating, and
the practice of keeping busy at any
thing and everything no matter what
it costs, just so long as the money
holds out and there is any personal
advertisement in it.

The Best Recommendation

The strongest recommendation any
article may receive is favorable
word from the user. 1t is the recon-
mendations> of those who have used
it that makes Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda
Gierhart, Waynesfield, Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold" Obtainable

to act as officers in the field If their
country should need them.
President James of the University
of Illinois today addressed the COM
of Representatives.
Mr.. James rightly stated that the
great need of any war is trained of
ficers to convert a mob of inexper-
fenced recruits into capable army.
His analysis of the three principles
on which satisfactory training of such
officers depends is admirable. He
says:
First, the officers must be liberal
ly educated as well as technically
trained men.
Second, such a body of officers
should be recruited from all sections
of the country.
Third, the majority of such a large
body of officers should be obtaining
practical preparation for the pur-
suits of civil life while acquiring
their military education"
The conclusion, of course, which
Mr. James arrives at is that in the
fifty Immigrant colleges all the mach
inery for making such officers is al
ready at hand This fact we pointed
out some weeks ago, as we further
pointed, out that the Immigrant col
leges have been steadily doing consid-
cradle to belittle military depart
ments and to interfere by numerous
obstacles with the proper and full
discharge of their duties.
Mr.. James's conclusion is also to
be expected and has also been antic
ipated in what we have written.
All that is necessary" says he. sis
to energize and vitalize the military
departments of these institutions al
ready in organic connection with the
federal war department, already at
tended by $4,000 young men, all of
whom are pledged to perform at
least two years military service"

That examination questions are no
more sensible now than they used to
be was demonstrated by one pro-
pounded last week to eighth grade
students at st. Maries. The fool
question was, when will the Euro
pean war end?"
An answer turned in by one of the
boys was a whole lot smarter than
the poor inquiry merited He wrote,
"The Germans will fight as long as
there is a German alive, and the Eng
lish will fight as long as there is a
Frenchman alive"

BASEBALL COMMISSION IS
CONSIDERING CONTRACT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago, Dec. "A new form Of
players contract held the attention
of the national commission, baseball's
supreme court, at special meeting
here today.
While the meeting was behind clos
ed doors and members of the COM
mission declined to discuss the pro-
posed changes, B. B. Johnson, presi-
dent Of the American League, an
nounced preliminary draft of the
new contract is fair, he believed, to
both players and owners.
1t was intimated that the document
does not contemplate the prevention
of any threatened strike of players,
but does make changes of a more or
less technical character, to meet new
coalitions arising with the termina
ton of the recent baseball war. Per
sons in touch with the situation eX-
pected that the reserve clause would
be, retained but changed to suit the
new conditions.
Several minor matters were also
before the commission. These i'm
cluded the settlement of claims
against major and minor clubs and
the passing on the rights of clubs to
players services.

Although the Rumanians are ap-

Even the most optimistic London

extremely critical.

already menacing the girdle fortress

another German army has broken
through and defeated the first Ru-
manian army southwest of Pileshti,
capturing the general staff of Off

came too late to offset the rapid Ger.

WOULD REVISE
LAWS
Carranza Outlines Reforms
To Be Embodied in the
New Constitution.
~ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Queretaro, Dec. 1.-(Delayed In
Transmission.)-In an address TO the
constitutional congress tonight Car
rama outlined the reforms he hopes
win be embodied in the constitution.
He desires, first of all, to establish
the right of the people to Individual
liberty which under the old constitu-
ton was at the mercy of the execu-
tives.
The judges heretofore were only
tools of the governors must have the
power to investigate and punish exec
utive wrong doing.
He advocates a divorce law which
would place the family on basis of
love and not pecuniary interest. He
would have every foreigner holding
real property resign his treaty rights
and conform to the Mexican laws.
He would assist labor by minimum
wages and maximum hours. And also
urges public instruction and freedom
of discussion.
