Dust Spraying

A careful investigation of re-
suits obtained in the several fruit
districts of the Northwest reveals
the fact that the Dust Spraying
method has been a practical sue
cess. 1t is found that every user
of the Niagara system is so well
satisfied with the work and re-
suits that he will continue it's use.
To those who are using and
those who intend to adopt this
system we would advise the ad-
vantage of placing your orders
now for material and machines.

KEEP CLOSE TAB
ON ARMY WORKERS
Hints of Graft at Fort Riley
Apparently are Without
Foundation

Whenever anything is being built
for the public there are usually &C
cusiations and hints of graft. The
environments at Fl. Riley have come
in for their usual share. But ap-
parently the accusations are without
foundation.
The system of checking the work
by employees of the War Depart
ment, and the stringent regulations
prescribed by the department make it
next to impossible for anyone to get
a dollar that isn't coming to him.
Brass Checks for Workers
All employees are given a brass
check in the morning when they go
to work. They must be on the job
at Z o'clock sharp or lose thirty min
utes pay. The numbers on the
checks are reported to the foreman
of the gang to which the men are as
signed. Timekeepers make four trips
a day to see that each man is work
ing, two trips in the forenoon and
one in the afternoon. If the man
cannot be found he is marked absent
and the time deducted from his pay.
When his work is completed at night
he turns in his brass check at the
timekeeper's office.
The government has its inspectors
and timekeepers on the job, and the
hours worked by the men, as evil
denced by the record Of the Fuller
Construction Company, must CORES
pond with the hours accredited them
by the government timekeeper. A
record of the number of days, the
number of hours and the amount
paid each man is kept on a time
sheet. Each man must sign his
name opposite his record when he is
paid. Only the amounts signed for
are paid the contractor by the gov
eminent.
Check up Material, Also
The same is true of the material
received. The construction company
checks up every foot of lumber and
every inch Of pipe and other mater
ials received. The government ex-
perts do the same thing, and the two
must tally. Only materials actually
received as shown by the combined
checks are paid for. If the amount

A MOoTED QUESTION

Ray Rohn, the illustrator, is all het
up. He writes in feverishly to know
whether or not persons in canoes are
supposed to stand up when the band
on a passing excursion boat plays,
"The Star Spangled Banner" He
wants to know if persons are expect
ed to give up their lives for their
country in this manner. Certainly
drowning is said to be a pleasant
death and, anyhow, it is much easier
than sticking around and starving to
death in this era of aristocratic
beans. Of course, you will be able
to stand only during two or three
bars of the anthem. The band will
get as far as "Oh, say can you see."
The passengers on the excursion boat
will look over the rail to see if they
can see, but there won't be anything
to see, for you will be going down for
the third time.-New York Mail.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-07-12

received varies from the amount or
dered, the shipper must stand the
loss.
The regular Kansas City wage
scale is being paid the workmen.
Carpenters receive sixty-five cents
an hour and laborers thirty-seven and
one half cents an hour. They are
paid time and half for overtime
and double time for Sundays and hol-
idays. At present most of the men
are working ten hours day and
sometimes seven days a week. This
makes a good-sized pay check Sat
urday night for carpenters and skill
ed workers. The men are fed by the
construction company for twenty
five cents a meal. Sleeping quarters
are free.
Says Graft is Impossible
"If you can find a place where
anyone can beat the government Out
of any money you can do more thar
1 can," Edgar S. Belden, vice-pres.
ident of the construction company
said. "There is a double check or
everything and the government pays
according to its own figures wher.
ever dispute arises. To beat the
game we would have to be in league
with all our timekeepers, our fore
men and all the government time
keepers and inspectors, and that
would be impossible. All our books
and records are open at any time to
anyone who desires to look them
over. The graft charges made have
only been general. None of them
has been specific enough for US to
even investigate"

INSANE PRISONER
IS TAKES OWN LIFE
Italian Who Killed Pete Wat
son at Plains Burns Self
With Gasoline

The following item taken from the
Saturday Kansas City Times will be
of interest to Liberal people as all
will remember the murder commit
ted by Manic last February and his
subsequent trial and Imprisonment at
Lansing. Manic killed Pete Watson
at Plains by beating him over the
head with heavy wrench and when
on trial admitted that he had never
seen Watson until that day but stat
ed that someone had told him to kill
the victim.
Every effort was made at Meade
to guard him from the mob which
organized and followed him to that
city Immediately after the killing and
he was spirited away to Hutchinson
for short time. Very few knew
that he was brought back for trial:

hours later in the prison hospital. A
few minutes before dying he recov-
cred consciousness and said that he
became tired of living. Officials say
he was insane.

/ PRAYER FOR A woRKDAY

Great master Workman pray
thee to fill me with pluck and dar-
ing and deliver me from the bonds
of cowardice and too great eau
ton. Give me the nerve to play
the game Of existence boldly and
well, steel me to face destiny un-
flinchingly and take the brave
chances of life without terror. Let
me not be reckless, but always
splendidly unafraid. Save me
from the spineless timidity that
always comes from overmuch
peace and certainty in employ
ment and from the blindness to
opportunity that sometimes re-
suits when the eyes are fastened
on the pay envelope. Deliver me
from fear.-Amen.

Immediately, all direct trading by
American millers, exporters and blend
ers Of flour with European countries is
prohibited This business will be
handled hereafter only by the food
administration.
The new regulations were made, 1t
was said, Ito effect proper control and
to centraliZe the handling of exports
on flour to European neutrals," and to
protect the interests of consumers

ly high price for flour purchased in

Dec. /, all flour millers operating un-
der agreement with the federal food
administration will not be permitted
to sell flour in packages of other than
one-eighth, one-quarter and one-half
barrel or larger, and from Jan. /, 1918,
no miller will be permitted to ship
flour in packages other than these
described" -..
Another reason given for the order
was Ito insure such quantities of

AUSTRALIA HAS
APPLE SURPLUS

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 81
Australia has surplus of apples to
offer to the worlds market in compe.
tition with the American fruit. How
to dispose of it is one of the problems
confronting the government. At the
request OF fruit growers, the prime
minister, William NJ. Hughes, has an
nQunced that L'7erican apples may be
imported to Australia only during
November and December. Australian
fruit growers are relying upon the far
eastern markets to, absorb the apple
surplus, but have been somewhat dis.
couraged by the information that the
United States authorities also are in.
quiring whether or not the far east
cannot be made market for America
The surplus of fruit in Australia is
due largely to the lack of shipping
facilities. ..@
Australia has about 100000
pounds of jam and S,500,000 of evapo
rated apples to the rest of the world
The British government has agreed tc
take 100000 pounds of jam in the
first quarter of 1918. The Australian
authorities are urging the British gov,
eminent either to accept the whole
50,000,000 or to offer to the United
States what Britain does not want OF
cannot take for it's own use =*.

WHITE LEAD OUTPUT i.
DECREASES IN YEAR

The United States Geological Sur.
vey, Department of the Interior, has
completed the statistics of white lead
production in 1916. The output of dry
white lead was 32,93S short tons worth
$4,714,343 as compared to 33,907 tons
worth $3,513,S56 in 1915. The produe-
ton of white lead, which was ground
in oil, was 96,041 tons worth $780,
1877 as against 122,194 tons worth $15,-
S79,835 in the previous year. The
total output of white lead thus showed
a loss of 27,122 tons or over IL per
cent in quantity, but gain of $1,SS9,-
TS9 or nearly 10 per cent in value. The
annual report of one Of the largest
white lead producers says:
THE tonnage of white lead sold was
the lowest in many years, due in part
perhaps to the activity of competitors
but chiefly to the checking of con-
sumptio.s by the high prices not only
of white lead but of linseed oil and
everything entering into the cost of
painting, including wages.
