LONDON BEGs FOR OLD RAGS.
Material Needed to Make Up Short.
age in Army Supplies.

New York Sun: London is now having
a series Of rag days. Wagons decked
with Union Jacks are parading each
district or borough in search of rags
Leading the horse that draws the wag
on is a man attired in white. looking
much like the white wings" or street
cleaners. Of American cities. who shakes
a bell and entreats people to bring out
their rags The rags are wanted to
make up for the shortage OF woolen
and cotton raw material for army
clothing, blankets. etc.
Every one Of the twenty-eight bor'
oughs in the metropolitan area is to
be canvassed before the summer Is
over This means that the search fof
rags will be carried on in every nook
and corner of the 700 square miles
which comprises Greater London and
that II is planned to make personal
visits TO at least half Of the 10000
buildings in the metropolitan area. No
one who has not been in London long
enough TO realize what n great pile II
is can form an adequate conception Of
what vast task lays before these
new found ragpickers.
To meet this competition. the private
ragpicker has a new line OF bartef
that is quite unique. He now offers
one or two pounds OF potatoes for
about eight pounds Of rags. The house.
keeper who perhaps, has not seen a
potato for weeks. eagerly accepts this
offer. forgetting that the market value
OF the potatoes. is but cents a pound.
while her rags are worth about IS
cents a pound at present prices.
The rags and clothes collected by the
official ragpickers are all torn into
shreds, sterilized and redressed before
use. They will be welcomed by the
army authorities, who are very shor,
OF raw materials for the manufacture
of khaki and army blankets.

SHOPPING IN ECUADOR.

Century: The line of demarkation
between the gente decente and the
gente del pueblo of Quito is the white
collar. Naturally the tendency is to
make it as wide and distinct as pos.

city ] found my customary brand OF
collar-at four times its American prico
but the lowest collar in stock was
weirdly suggestive of some species Of
human giraffe.

But this is a collar, senor," cried
the shopkeeper
Something lower. please"
But this is a very low collar. 1t is
so low that no one in Quito will wear
it, and we are not importing any more
of this brand"
In the matter Of shoes found at last
Massachusetts, product that might
have been endurable; but when l had
beaten the dealer down to about twice
the American price a seven was fourd
to be the largest size in stock. The
merchant hovered on the verge of tears.
"Why, Senor," he gasped, gazing re-
sentfully at the offending member

DEMONSTRATION OF DEEP
FLOWING INSTRUCTIVE

Conservation of moisture through
deep plowing with the attendant in.
crease in the yield of field and grain
crops is to be the result of the deep
plowing demonstration now being made
by Sidney Suggs and e. T. Reid on the
Sidney Suggs farm one-half mile west
of the Ardmore corporation limits.
Two burrows together twenty-eight
inches wide and from ten to twelve
inches were being made this morning
by a two disc plow pulled by farm
tractor.
From six to eight acres of land a
day can be broken with the tractor in
use on the Suggs farm. Little difficulty
is experienced in turning the dry oats
stubble which, in many fields where ami
NAL power is used, is considered too
dry. Colonel Suggs is farming on the
theory that the deep plowing will leave
mulch which will hold the winter and
spring rains, conserving the water for
summer crops and preventing waste by
erosion. Instead of having three o.,
four inches Of plowed soil which may

This is progressive movement
which, sooner or later, will take hold
of Carter county" Colonel Suggs, for
merly editor and publisher of The Ard.
moreite, said yesterday. I'VE do
not claim that deep plowing is the all
powerful thing and in itself will nc
complish all things, but we think that
1t is one of the most progressive move
ments that ever hit Carter county"
Colonel Suggs grows very enthusiastic

said, but l am going to work harder

In addition to regular farming, ex-
periments are to be made on the Suggs
farm to introduce progressive and up-to-
date farming methods. s"There is no
reason why farming cannot be made to
pay the same as any other business.
If men will devote as much time and
money to farming along right lines and
employing business methods they viii

POSITION OF GRANGE.

Governor Frazier is getting scant
comfort from the farmers OF the state
for his veto of the terminal elevator
bill. The Tribune is in receipt of a
letter from Mrs. C. Il. Schick, lecturer
of the North Dakota Grange. 1t is
sell-explanatory and especially appro,
pirate at this time We quote in full
81 note an editorial in the Bismarck
Tribune, March 23, headed, May Get
the TRUTH limiting at the possible at
titude of the Grange. The writer be-
ing present at the annual Grange
meeting held in Bismarck on June 81
%, 1916, when the terminal elevator
issue was discussed and endorsed. 1t
must be taken for granted that Gov
ernor Frazier's veto.of Senate Bill "a
is in direct contrary to the voice OF
that meeting. Anyone wishing to look
over, the history Of the Grange from
the beginning will readily note that
this organization has always stood
for constructive legislation, from
whatever source it originated, and
never stood for boss rule or those
who commercialize the farmers eco
economic legislation
The Tribune is pleased to note that
tho Grange has taken such a sound
position.
