Home Guards Met

The meeting Monday evening,
called for the purpose of complet-

Home Guards, was we'll attended
and the interest taken in questions
brought before the members was
evidence of the sincerity of purpose
felt by those who took part in form
ing the bylaws and outlining the
objects of the organization.

laws worded in such manner as to
meet the wishes of the majority,
but the outcome was satisfactory

night and the first Monday of each
month the regular meeting time

Treating Grain

Copper sulphate solution Il lb.
copper sulphate, l ID. common salt,
5 gal. water) and formalin solu-
tion Il lb. formalin 40 gal. of
water) have both proved effective
in the control of sinking wheat
smut.
The wheat should be famed be-
fore it is put into the solution in
order to get out as many smut balls
as possible. While in the solution
the mixture should be stirred so
that the light and smutted kernels
may come to the surface where
they can be skinned off and de-
stroyed. ....... 81
Allow the grain to remain in the
solution at least ten minutes; then
remove it to treated sacks or pile
in heaps and cover with treated
sacks until the next day when it
should be planted.
If formalin is used new solution
should be prepared each day that it
is needed, since it loses it's strength
rapidly. Copper sulphate solution
NAV be kept until it is all used as
it does not lose it's strength.
If the formalin treatment is used
and the seed is to be planted i'm
mediately after it is taken from the
liquid it should remain in the solu-
tion thirty minutes.
In order to overcome the injuri-
GUS action of copper sulphate upon
termination it is advisable to dip
the seed into lime water for ten
minutes Immediately after it is
taken from the copper sulphate So
luton. This lime water may be
made by Stacking one pound of
quicklime and diluting it to ten
gallons.
In planting treated seed allow.
ance should be made for the swell
ing of the seed and the injurious
action of the fungicide. The injury
is usually proportional to the mum
ber of cracked kernels present.
For covered smut of barley anC
for the smuts of oats use the forma
lin treatment. For loose smut Of
wheat and for loose smut of barley
use the hot-water treatment. The
particulars concerning the hot-watel
treatment may be obtained by writ
ing the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C..

American History

The present is a good time in
which every American citizen may
supplement his knowledge of the
history of our country We COM
mend to our readers the reading
course in American History which
has been arranged by the Bureau
of Education of our government.
To the persons who read the course
and fulfil the requirements, the
Commissioners of Education will
issue a certificate so stating. For
information regarding requirements
and directions for reading. write to
Home Education Division, Reading
Course No. 10, Bureau of Educa-
tion, Washington, D. c.
Persons in Kendrick can get some
of the books from nearby libraries,
especially the University. A good
plan would be to form an American
History Reading Club. The men,
bers could club for the books and
thus reduce the expense of securing
the books which must be bought
outright.
There are 23 books in the course.
The bureau does not furnish the
books.

Southwick Patriotic Meeting

A patriotic meeting was held in
the school house at Southwick on
Saturday night. About 100 people
filled the room, and the enthusiasm
was high. Ira Foster was tempor-
ary chairman and B. C. Gallaher
temporary secretary.
The meeting was opened with a
speech by w. F. McClelland. He
spoke about the desire of the farm
ers in that section to form home
guard. 1t was explained that the
farmers had been advised that
cranks, etc., might take advantage
at this time to do damage to crops,
such as burning stacks or nearly
ripened grain. A home guard
would by its organization be able
to quickly collect its members and
rush them to the scene of trouble.
By organizing with Leland, Gamer
on, Cavendish, Teakean and Cream
ridge, motor car service could be
established, messengers sent out on
horseback and the whole country
working together could combat acts
of destruction. A list of cars that
could be used and list of boys Is
and over who could do messenger
service will be compiled immediate
ly.
A home guard was formed and
a. men signed up that night and
many more will join. William Nc.
Clelland was made chairman and
Charles Lettenmayer secretary
Mrs. Jacks offered her dauhgtel
and a brown pony for messenger
service. ......
Mr.. Gallaher spoke on patriotism
Harve Woodruff spoke on the neces
sity of being careful in regard te
circumstantial evidence in connec
tion with arresting suspects.
Mrs. Paul Clagstone, chairman o1
the Lewiston chapter of the Rec
Cross, then spoke on the work be
ing accomplished in this section by
the various organizations. An aux
iliary was formed and it is planned
to take in the same towns that th'
home guards do as one organization
A temporary board was formed
comprising the following: Chair

A Town Without Stores

d suppose the Town OF henQrlck
should wake up some morning and
find itself without a solitary store.
What would the citizens of this
community think? II
What would they say? We should
be confronted with stupendous
problems like those our forefathers
had to meet. T
If a package of coffee or oatmeal
was required. an order would have
to be sent away for it. A week or
ten days would elapse before the
arrival of the coffee or oatmeal.
In the meantime, the morning cup
of coffee or the morning dish of
oatmeal would not be had.
If dress were being made for
one of the children for the Sunday
school picnic and some trimmings
required, instead of being able to
secure them at once. the dress would
have to go with them or be laid
aside until the trimmings came, and
not be ready for the picnic.
Imagine Kendrick, l.or any other
small town, without store. But
each day of each year just such a
situation is edging nearer.
Folks who live hear are proud of
their town; they have a just reason
to be; and if anyone wants to COM
mence a heated argument, let him
try to knock Kendrick to any citi-
zen. Our spirit is right; but our
practices don't always back up the
spirit. ~
Let us cease trying to erase small
towns from the map, by giving the
home merchants the same generous
deal we give, the mail order man,
and We'll find that they cannot only
match the price when the parcel
post. freight or express charge to
Kendrick is added, but he will be
able to beat-in the majority of
instances-the best mail order
price, when quality is studied.
Giving local merchants the same
generous deal doesn't mean drop
ping in just now and then for a
petty demand. It means placing
the big orders with them accom-
panying those orders with cash.
just as the mail order house de.
mands, and then waiting ten days
Sounds unreasonable. perhaps, tc
ask such a thing. But is it any
more unreasonable to do that by
our home town merchant than il
done by the far-away stranger
The trouble is, most Of US have
looked at this matter from only one
angle.
We have been accustomed to get
ting what we wanted when w
wanted it from the nome town mer.
chant-and in manv instances we
have been getting it on credit. We
compared prices-ofttimes neglect
ing to add freight or express
charges. but never once have W,
compared service. We have takel
that for granted.
Isn't it about time we gave tn
home merchant a square deal
Let us consider service along will
prices. Let us stop sending ou
good cash away. Let us make
concerted effort to keep it home
where it will have an opportunit.
to fall into our hands again. LIE
US make our purchasing slogan
"Buy it in the home town."

THE FIXERS.

These are busy days for the
price-fixer. They have even
boosted the price of peanuts be-
cause of the war;. And they are
treading on perilous ground. The
consumer is some smiter when
crowded to the wall, and when
at bay can give a very good imi-
tation of the Bosom Of the Lord.
Starve him and he will starve
you; he will bust you up in bust
ness; he will wife your greedy
prosperity off the face of the
earth; he will teach you that
there is just God IN Israel who
will give you what is coming to
you and make you take it. For
the most part, the American
consumer is raising family on
81 a day. He is the price-fixer's
best customer. It is not good
business to ruin him. Let the
price-fixers change their, ways
or beware the consequences for
these consequences are search
ing, far-reaching and thorough.

VERDICT FOR $4,000.
Landowner Held Responsible for
Explosion of Dynamite Caps
found on Place by Renters Son

A jury in Murray county re-
turned a verdict for $4,000 in
favor of a boy whose father had
rented a farm upon which were
left a quantity Of dynamite caps.
Speaking of the case, the Muir
ray County Herald says:
Peterson rented the farm
from Martin and shortly after
moving thereon found in the
granary a box of dynamite caps.
Peterson claimed that he warned
Martin to destroy or bury the
caps several times, while Martin
claimed that the caps were left
there by the consent of Peterson,
who wished to use them to do
some blasting. Last August
Peterson's son, Lyman, found the
caps and being unaware of the
danger that lurked in them used
them for whistles. This sport
became too tame and the little
fellow one day found some
matches and i9nited one Of the
