practice. The practice of "allowing
the stacks to rot down. before it is
hauled to the field is commin in most
every neighborhood and it is one of the
relics of years ago. AS I was passing
the farm on which there were three
straw stacks l saw the farm owner
plow:ng corn in an adjoining field and
| went over, mainly to ask him what he
intended doing with the straw stacks.
1t was the same old story, "Well |
thought I would just let it rot down
and haul-it out for manure, you don It
catch me sellin any straw off this
farm This latter statement was well
backed up with evidence, at least he
certainly had not sold much recently
if the three straw stacks could be used
as evidence. He is still following q
practice which we may call relic of
an old custom-allowing the greater
part of the fertilizing materials to
leach away on one spot then going to
the trouble of hauling out great guam
titles of water and little plant food
and organic matter.
1t is little hard to talk to man
about matters which are his business
affairs and not yours, but l went ahead
with him and asked him why he want
ed to wait for the straw to rot. "Oh. -
he said, "it wouldn't do to haul that
dry straw out on the ground. it would
not do the ground any good in the first
place and then if 1 would pillow it under
it would dry the ground out too much" !"
though he might be partly right
about the part of his statement about
drying out the ground and told him o.
q way in which some men are handling
their straw stacks to get the plant
food and the moisture holding power
from them. Most soils will hold mois-
ture better in dry season if they
have a good supply Of organic matter.
Instead of letting their straw stacks
rot down . number Of farmers in one
part of this country are hauling their
surplus straw to the fields in the fall.
scattering it at the. rate iof about a
ton per acre or possibly. q. little heavier,
discing it in and then fall plowing the
ground. The discing cuts up the straw
and mixes it with the soil 80 that ths
moisture supply from below is not .9ut
~ in. = dry season. In this practice
none Of the fertility is wasted and the
soil gets the organic matter in addition
which increases its water holding ca,
pacity in dry weather.
Ny friend gave me cue to go u
little farther when he said, "I never
thought there was much plant food in
straw anyway" Perhaps not If you
compare it with clover crop or IN
alfalfa crop, but if you will take the
chemists word for it you will find that
when the straw was threshed, each ton
Of it had 10 pounds, Of nitrogen, about
4.5, pounds Of phosphoric acid and 1873
pounds Of, potash. This may not seem
like very much, yet these are tie ,ls-

SCHOOL NEWS

The Glenwood Springs school board
at the meeting last Thursday voted 10
request the teachers to attend the con-
vention at Grand Junction the last
three days of October, and school will
be dismissed during that time. Four
leading educators from the east have
been engaged to speak at the general
sessions. These are Dr.. Ryan, president
of the Indiana University; DR.. Coffman,
University of Minnesota; DR.. Gaun-

Miss Agnes Young of Montrose, secre-
tary, and Professor Hendershot of Del
IA, treasurer. Most of the schools Of
Colorado will be dismissed for the
meetings. One of the greatest questions
to be discussed will be the duty of
teachers during the war.
Miss Cleveland and Miss Brown went
to Denver Monday morning where they
will attend the Eastern Division.
Both grade schools and high school
will be opened again on Thursday, Nc
vember l, the day following the teach

The Bee and Good Roads.

The Bee has been criticized because of its stand
for good roads in Nebraska by persons who mis-
construe. purposely or otherwise, the expressions
OF this paper. At no time has The Bee advocated
any particular sort Of highway, nor has it under
taken to point out one another of existing
roads an example on which the others should
be modelled. What this paper has done is to argue
for the construction OF highways adapted to the
needs of the state, the work to be done under
control Of central authority, that uniformity may
be secured, and that the best possible roads be
established, 1t is not expected that the state will
be blessed at once with complete system of
hard-surfaced roads, nor is it expected that what
has taken other commonwealth many years to
secure will be had for Nebraska in short time
The construction must be extended over long
term of years. but it should be always along lines
that look to the ultimate end OF an united and
uniform highway system for the state. The pres
ent system is wasteful, for it does not produce
permanence. The cost of bad roads is borne by
the users, and in Nebraska this falls on the
farmer who is paying several times as much as
he should to haul all he sells and all he buys
Good roads are needed in Nebraska, and will
come in time; why not make the start now?

Victory for "Pitiless Publicity"

Republican members of congress have sue
ceeded in securing the passage of resolution
that calls for definite and complete inquiry into
the leak scandal The stupid effort Of the demo-
cratic majority to hush up the affair by general
whitewash was brought to failure by the persis-
tence of the minority members, who with proper
insistence demanded that the investigation be
made thorough Just why the democrats were so
eager to abandon chase of the leak" culprits,
apparently willing to leave the entire administra-
ton rest under serious allegations, is not ex-
planned, but it may be brought out. When Mr..
Wilson began his career as president four years
ago he pledged himself to "pitiless publicity"
though he has had occasion since then to prac-
tice much Of secrecy. 1t is but applying his doc
trine to pursue the leak" rumors to their origin,
and it is characteristic of the course of govern
ment that the republicans compelled the blunder-
ing democrats to take the only action that will
convince the public OF their sincerity.

Nebraska Press Comment

Plattsmouth Journal: We are greatly in
favor Of an increase in the salaries of school
teachers, but are bitterly opposed to so many
vacations. Let the teachers keep closer to their
work and then demand an increase in salaries.
There is no need of more than one weeks vaca-
ton at this season Of the year. and that, between
Christmas and New Year.
Kearney Hub: Hastings makes fiat bid for
removal of the state capital to that city and as
an inducement offers twenty acres Of land for a
capitol site. Other cities will probably be willing
to double the bet" with forty acres or more #
needed. The real point however, is that the
matter OF location should be submitted to refer
endum before making any statehouse appropri-
atoms outside of absolutely necessary repairs.

suggestion it might be in order that while the

New Note In Industrial Relations.

note that tentatively has been tried by vari-
Gus investigating employers at various times
within the last decade now is being heard clear
above all others in the diapason OF industrial rea-
| tons. 1t has to do with the value of the man
himself his importance as a factor in progress; in
| fine, his worth distinct and recognized asset
in the business. For several years stress has been
put on the improvement of mechanical operation,
almost to the exclusion of the man, while the
latter has been subjected to scientific analysis
and selection for his fitness to perform certain
tasks, the effect Of which system was to incor-
poratc him as an integral part of the machinery.
Tremendous strides in industry have brought a
change to this and foresighted employers are
looking to another and more important phase of
their problem.
The trained man has value proportionate to
the length of time it took to train him, the
amount OF material wasted during the process and
the lessened output stretching over his novitiate
And each day OF his continuance as a satisfied
member of the working corps of the factory adds
to his value. He has mastered shop practice, spe-
cal rules and schedules and knows all the little
things that must become part Of the daily life and
be performed as unconsciousy as the involuntary
functions of his body before the workman has
assumed his real proficiency. A new machine may
be purchased and set to running as soon as the
factory can fill the order, but the new man must
be trained, and it takes months or years to do it.
And the employer has learned this. Therefore,
employers are more than ever seeking means to
bind their well-educatcd workmen to their
service.
Equally, the men are learning their share of
the lesson. 1t is that through long service they
have invested something in the business they
cannot draw out and take with them, should they
seek employment elsewhere. This does not apply
SO exactly to the younger men, who have not got
ten themselves completely established, but the
older realize it. and are building accordingly.
Years of faithful devotion are not transferable,
but are an asset that is undeniable, And boss"
and man" alike appreciate this more than ever
and to them alike is coming the finer sense of
mutual obligation.
This is the new note and it is manifest in
the esprit du corps that marks the progress of
industrial relations. 1t does not mean an end to
labor unions, nor to associations Of employers 1t
only means better understanding OF common
problems and portends greater measure of that
social justice to the achievement of which all are
willing to contribute.

AN old RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Youthful at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this old time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other in.
gradients for about so cents. Every
body uses this preparation now, be.
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
1t so naturally and evenly. You damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; BY morn.
ing the gray hair disappears and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.
