Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE American
Socialist, official weekly publication of
the national socialist party, today re-
ceived word from Washington that its

difficulties.

Generdi George "A. SQuier, Chief o.
fcer of the signal corps of the army
passed Sunday in the city, and left for
Washington Sunday night.
While here he inspected the present
quarters at the fort and went over
the work being done by the Wickham
Brothers, who have the contract for
the erection Of the cantonment build
ings, the construction of sewers and
the general work required.
The desire OF General Squier is to
have the cantonment buildings ready
for occupancy at the earliest possible
date in order that the young men en-
listing in the balloon end Of the avia-
ton corps of the army may take up
their studies.
DELIGHTED SAYS SQUIER
"Delighted! I'm more than pleased!'
exclaimed Generol Squier, as he was
halted in the midst Of an inspection
tour at Fort Omaha.
With General Squier were Major II.
B. Hersey, commander of Fort Oma
ha: Colonel F. A. Grant, quarterinas-
ter of the Omaha supply depot, and
Major Rainesford Hannay, member of
the British royal fighting corps, who
has been instructIng students at the
fort for several weeks.
The party had just come from the
new barracks, now being rushed to
completion by Wickham Bros. of
Council Bluffs When they are fin
ished there will be room for l,400
more student troops at Fort Omaha
and these will be sent in Immediately.
Later at the Fontenelle hotel, Cen
eral Squier continued his praise OF the
progress at Fort Omaha.
No Aeroplanes at Fort. ,
I'VE will send in more men just as
soon as the new barracks are I'm
ished." he said. "The school is in
fine shape. But it will be kept
balloon school pure and simple" he
said. "We will not add the aeroplane
work to it,"
General Squier and other authori-
ties think they can work more effec-
: lively if only balloon work is done
here. This is important work and
the students need careful detailed
training. Fort Omaha is the only
balloon school in the country and
will remain so. All balloon students
in the United States must come here
for their training.
Inspects Supply Depot.
General Squier also spent part of
his busy day in Omaha at the quar-.
termaster's depot at Twenty-second
and Hickory. There is branch sta
tion of the signal corps there, which
also has had a tremendous growth,
lately. Formerly it was looked after
bv the uuartermaster, but now has
its own chief, Lieutenant Kerfoote,
who has just come from Seattle to
take charge of it.
General Squier lett last night for
Chicago. He has few more posts to
inspect before he returns to Washing
ton.

One rumor was that the passenger rate between Seattle and Seward would reach $75. 1t is known that for the past month, government experts connected with the Interstate Commerce Commission, have been at work in coast towns upon the books of the steamship companies and very probably their reports have convinced the commission that the people are paying sufficient at the present with the added war tax.

LOVERS OF SCANDAL
ARE LEARNING

A case was put on trial in court
last week that was expected to be
rather sensational and some OF the
local folks who feed on sensations
and salacious things were keeping
tab to see when the testimony would
begin so they could drop in.
It is reported that they organized
a sort of a "sob-stuff" brigade to
do some weeping and otherwise work
on the emotions of the jury at GER
tain points in the case, but the ma
ehinery of court beat them to 1t and
barred all spectators. A few of the
advanced guard Of the brigade got
in but they were excused and had
Just one good chance to retire and
let the court proceed in a quiet and
orderly manner to consider botn
sides of a very grave matter.
It takes the scandal-mongers a
good while to learn that a court is
primarily deliberative place for a
deliberative body, and that it is not
an emotion factory "a revival nor a
camp meeting.

TWO KINDS OF
FARMERS

Out west of Aberdeen on a. big
dry farm is a man named Gottfried
Funk. He and his wife came to
this country by choice, to better their
condition. They were young and
had all their fortune to make and
all of our language to learn. To-
gether they have worked, and to-
gether they have studied and learned
He is a pretty good linguist, and
when he picks up a newspaper to
read it, he calls off the words rather
easily but does not understand 1t
readily. Mrs. Funk knows pretty
we'll what it means, and after he
reads a paragraph, he pauses while
she gives her version of what it
means. In this way paragraph after
paragraph is read and discussed, and
their study of it is thoro. They buy
only. such papers and printed matter
as they can read and get some good
Of, and beyond this they do not waste
their money. They are getting ahead
in the world, and at certain definite
strides. This year they have APO
acres of winter wheat and 420 acres
lying fallow, kept mellow for wheat
next year. There is system in what
they do.
There are other homes in the
county where there is not SO much
system. Homes where things are
done "by guess and by thumb. :"
Where papers and other literature
are bought promiscuously and are
thrown about the house and they
come to despise literature because
they are conscious of the fact that
they are spending money for it and
not getting full values. Some OF 1t
is valuable to them if they would
only read it, and some of it is valu-
able to other people, but not to them.
They do not know which is which,
and because they do things by guess
they do not find out. They like it
and hate it at the same time, and
waste their money on 1t.
They do their farming in pretty
much the same way. They like it
and hate it at the same time, and
regard it as necessary evil that
they have to be connected with to
make a living. They ought to call
a halt and see what they are going
to do. They should either start in
and farm with all their powers OF
body and mind or they should get
out of it and go into something else
and put all their energy into that.
If they are not willing to do that,
then they should go out and seek
employment Of somebody who Is will
ing to have them around and tell
them each day what to do and see
that they do 1t.

A CHICKEN WITH SNOW SHOES

Sounds funny doesn't it, talking
about a chicken travelling on snow
shoes. But it would be stranger
still If he tried to walk on skis.
A chicken doesn't lift it's foot right
to slide the snow shoe along. But
the chicken we are talking about was
initiating the caterpillar tractor In
having his footwear jointed and NOV
ing in sections. The sections were
homemade and homely but they
worked on both slow and high gear.
The chicken in question had
tramped in something sticky, and
when he walked about in the dust
it formed in Jumps on his feet and
toes. Then he walked again In
something sticky and out around the
dusty places. In this way he gather
ed so much on his feet that 1t wor-
ried him to carry it, and he was look
ing tired and forlorn. We stood him
in a. basin of water till he soaked
it loose, and he went out to begin
life over,

TREES ON DRY
FARMS

There is still some ground for
doubt as to whether fruit can be
grown on trees on the dry farms but
there is already plenty of proof that
the trees themselves can be grown.
There are two conditions attaching
to tree culture on the dry farms that
are important, and which have not
generally been attended to. When
both are carried out, there is little
danger of losing the trees, perhaps
not more danger than here is of los
ing trees on the irrigated farms
where they are subjected to the ex-
tremes of abundant moisture and
severe winter freezing after a season
of lavish growth.
When a tree is to be set, a large
hole should be dug to depth of
two or three feet or thru the hard
pan. Then the hole should be filled
in with rich moist top soil, and when
the tree is set, If there is not plenty
of moisture it should have some
water poured on and then the sur
face should be covered with soil, not
left with the mud exposed. If water
is poured on afterwards, it should
be covered again with soil so the
mud will not be exposed to sun and
air. When dry enough the surface
should be cultivated as far as the
water reached.
The other condition is that Of
mulching. In the spring, after the
snow and rains have done their
watering, spread mulch of straw
or trash all about the tree to hold
the moisture near the surface and
to keep the sun and wind from bak-
ing and burning the soil over the
roots. The soil is naturally so like
an ash heap, it seems harsh to put
a tree into it unless one gives 1t
chance for life and some protection.
In some states the sun is so hot
they have to set the tree on a slant
or clothe it in some way to keep the
sun from actually baking the sap
under the bark, but on our Idaho
dry farms the trees have been set
out and subjected to all the harsh
things that belong to the soil and
climate, and then if they live they
have to stand the gnawing of rabbits
and the scratching of cats on the
bark. When humane treatment is
accorded the young trees most or
them will grow, and when the dry
farmer has a grove and wind break
he will have several comforts he
lacks now.

With all the present effort to

is, selling short, flooding the market

So it is with cast stoves or
enamel stoves. If you bolt
tight enough to make tight,
you break it. If you do not
bolt tight, you waste heat and
fuel and never can depend on
the oven.
Then how are cast and
enamel ranges made tight?
By boiling loosely, then filling
the cracks with stove putty, or
cement, as it is now called. 1t
is tight, all right-while new
before it is fired up. But
after being put to work the
putty dries, drops out and the
cracks ruin the working quail
ties of the stove.
Then after a year or so they
are rickety and rackety and
wobbly and they give you a
sickish feeling every time you
cook on them.
Malleable iron can be riveted
and hammered until it is tight
as a steam boiler. And it stays
tight. Try bending or riveting
a piece of enamel or cast and
see what happens.
Pay the price-get the good
kind and if you want the
best-buy a Copper-Clad-the
range that can't rust out.
