OUTDOOR SHOWMEN GO
ON RECORD FOR UPLIFT
viii Endeavor to Check Unjust
Attacks on Their Business.
Sunday Sends Message.

New York.-In these days Of uplift
movements the statement of the newly
organized Association of the Outdoor
Showmen of the World that its chief
purpose in life Is to uplift and purify
the outdoor show business has attract
ed attention. The association is a
unique aggregation of outdoor show
interests, embracing every variety of
outdoor amusement enterprises, from
the big exposition and circus to the
fair, carnival and concession men, and
its officers are carrying on wide cam
paign to secure membership in all
parts of the world.
One of the outdoor showmen's an
nouncements, made at the organization
meeting and banquet at the Hotel AS
tor was that of President Frank p.
Spellman, who in explaining the scope
of the organization said that Billy Sun
day had been invited to become men,
Der and to attend the banquet, as 1t
was recognized that 'he is the greatest
Snowman of us all" Billy Sunday in
acknowledging the letter Of introduc-
ton said in characteristic fashion,
You fellows could go some for God If
you would"
I'VE have more practical objects, of
course, than the ethical uplift of the
outdoor show business" said President
Spellman. I'VE propose to exert our
influence to make certain that We get
a square deal In the various state leg
islatures. We will have legal repre-
sentatives in every city, and we will
correct other abuses that we believe
exist. We will endeavor to check un-
just attacks made on the outdoor show
business and to secure fair and equita-
bic treatment. We believe the public
will be with us in this campaign"

ArtiChOkeS Resist Drought and
frost

The Jerusalem Artichoke has a stem
something like a sunfiower but tubers
grow on the roots like the potato. 1t
is more frost-resistant than potatoes and
has a longer growing season. In fact,
the Artichoke will live over winter in
the ground and come up year after
year. 1t is not difficult to eradicate,
however, as spring blowing followed by
corn or some other cultivated crop will
quickly kill il out. The culture OF
this crop is similar to that of potatoes,
but it may be planted earlier, as the
spring frosts do not harm it so much.
in late fall the tubers may be dug and
pitted or put into the cellar the same
way that potatoes are handled. They
wilt more readily than potatoes, how
ever, and will keep firmer if covered
lightly with earth to exclude the air.
Their more extensive culture as hog
feed is advocated, by E. F. Gaines OF
the Washington Experiment Station al
Pullman.
They may be grown anywhere that
potatoes or sunhowers do well. They
are more drought-resistant than pota-
toes and are not considered hard on
the soil. In composition the tubers
OF the Artichoke are very similar to
potato tubers and the tops are about
equal TO meadow hay if cut just before
poisoning time.
Probably the most general use Of the
jerusalem Artichoke is for hog feed,
but dairy cattle do we'll on tubers. and
in the absence OF silage, it is one OF
the best succulent feeds for milk pro-
duction. The artichoke was first
cultivated for human food, but the
smoother, starchier irish potato has now
largely supplanted it in spite of its
smaller yield per acre.
While the Artichoke will never be a
major crop. yet as minor pasture crop
for hogs it should have wider dis
tribution in Washington. An acre Of
these tubers will keep 20 to 80 hogs,
weighing from 125 to ITS lbs. } root
ing all fall and winter when the ground
is not frozen, and pork can be produced
much more economically by supple
menting the grain feed in this manner
than by straight grain ration.

this county believes to be the previous
history Of the recent story from Chi

According to Lovett's story, while
hunting two years ago he slightly
wounded a duck and decided to carry
the bird home. He used his necktie to
bind the birds feet, neglecting to re-
move a diamond stud fastened therein.
Placing the supposedly helpless bird in
the rear of his conveyance, he started
home. when a flutter a few minutes
later attracted his attention. He turn

"GLAZE," NEW WEATHER WORD
Old Fashioned "Sleet" viii Be Out of
Style This Winter.

Washington. - The old fashioned
"sleet" is going out of style this win
ter before the newer "ice storm" and
glaze" weather bureau officials re-
ported in their campaign for more &C
curate Technology for various kinds
of frozen rain. Sleet is officially de-
scribed as small globules Of rain frozen
before striking the earth. When rain
freezes after falling and forms a CLASSY
coating on the ground, trees and wires
the condition is called glaze, and
when this is severe and accompanied
by wind, 1t is reported as an ice storm.
The weather bureau hopes to elimt-
nate what it considers improper use OF
the word "sleet," as 1t has caused sub
stitution of the term tornado" for
Cyclone" when a violent storm of
small diameter is meant.

Chief Moses Wetas Timini, lone
survivor of the band of Nez Perce
braves who first resisted the ad-
vance of the white men into the great
northwest a century ago, passed away
into eternity in his tepee near Sloan
a few days ago. He was at least 40
years old and the sageS among the
Indians claim he had passed the 120-
yearmark. He is known to have
been a gray haired old man when
Duncan Mcdonald and Chief Charles
were children. About three decades
ago Chief Timini left the land Of
his fathers and came to the Flathead
reservation. He made his home near
Sloan, reduced to a mere semblance
of the glory he enjoyed as war
chief of the Nez Perces. He was mar
