WEATHER FAVORABLE
FOR GROWING CROPS
Warm Sunshine and Copious
Rains Boost Vegetation.

Hamilton. June 1.-THE
warm days of the past week, following
the copious showers of the past month
are causing rapid growth of all
kinds of vegetation as to assure a
bumper crop this year. The output of
the Bitter Root valley will probably
be double that of average years.
1t is estimated that the wheat crop
is nearly double that of former years
and the same may be said of potatoes
and other vegetables. A splendid crop
OF fruit now seems assured, including
sweet cherries, Strawberries as well as
standard and crab apples. The pros
pect for a big crop of hay was never
better and the sugar beet people are
delighted with the truly. remarkable
growth of this brand-new CROP some
5000 acres of which are growing in
the valley.

forced in preventing waste of food
stuffs.
That the rationing or other enforced
regulation OF the American dinner
table Is proposed was denied by I"r.
Hoover. Also he said requistioning Of
factories or regulations Of wages are
not contemplated and that eXcision of
war profits in distribution of food,
largely by voluntary cooperation of
business interests involved, is the
prime object Of the bill.
-Four basic measures Of food con-
troll planned. Mr.. Hoover said. are
export regulation, control of distr-
button, including speculation, mobili-
cation OF Americas women and men
in q campaign for economy and
against waste. and participation of
the states in administration work.
Federal commissions to control
wheat, sugar and a few other prime
commodities by regulation of pro-
duction. storage. transportation and
sale, also are contemplated. he. said,
but instead of injuring FARMERS, as
some have claimed, these things will
benefit both producers ard consumers
without curtatlment pf middlemens
normal and fair profits.
Asserting that the allies food sup
ply will be 40 pr cent deficient, even
with Americas food surplus assist
ing, Mr.. Hoover said the deficiency
must be made up by sacrifice abroad
and economy here. Saving of six cents
per day in this country, he declared,
would save 100000 600. while 90
per cent saving in flour would give
10O, O00,O 900 bushels more to the allies.
In this connection. he told the SEN
ators that spectators in flour alone
have taken s50.oOo.O0o month from
the American public during the last
five months.

Butte, June 19.-The high cost of
living came up for consideration at
the meeting of the city council last

considering the matter, decided to
raise the wages of the men employed

called the attention of the council to
the high prices of living necessities
and asked for an increase of SIS per
month in their salaries. This was re-
ferred to the police committee.

Next facing us is the new High
school proposition, and this like the
paving question, is one for the city
and educational authorities. We only
desire at this juncture to put in one
pl q, for this high school building is
coming and coming next year. Our
plea that we build for the future,
build large enough and build to in
clude fine auditorium. 1t is not
necessary that we be afraid of debt,
and thus in this sort of false caution,
cut down the size and quality of the
building. Nothing is too good for
the school children of this city. Aim
high, in this proposed building and
get what we aim for, should be the
rule and the only one.

The Danger Of lying Ii Bed.

Lack OF muscular exercise is the first
result of lying in bed. As a result the
appetite is weakened, the digestive ac-
ton slows down and the muscles of
the stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass. When the
body is in recumbent position the
heart works with the least expendi-
ture of effort and the least fatigue and
the circulation and the functional activ-
ity are decreased. But unless the sub
ject is exceptionally vigorous all the
benefits are counterbalanced by dam
gers. In bed the subject is shut away
from fresh air and sunlight The re-
suit of that deprivation is a condition
similar to anaemia. But the supreme
menace to the weak or the aged con-
fined to bed is the clOgging of the pull
monary circulation, an action. which
frequently results in passive conges-
ton of both sides Of the lungs. For
this reason the simple fracture Of
bone may be the cause of death, be-
cause when the patient lies in bed there
is no movement of the muscles to act
as an incentive to deep breathing.
Extent of Africa.
Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land
surface is comprised within the CONT
nent of Africa, and it is as far around
the coast of Africa as it is around the
world. Every eighth person Of the
worlds population lives in the dark
continent. The blacks double their
number every forty years and the
whites every eighty years. There are
S43 languages and dialects spoken
among the blacks Of Africa, but only a
few of them written. One area in AT
RIGA unoccupied by missionaries is
three times the size of New England
a second would make four states like
New York, and another is eighteen
times the size Of Ohio. Throughout
Africa there is one missionary for ev
cry $4,000 souls. Christian Herald.

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-09-20

These are city improvements,
planned by the mayor and city coun-
Gil and carried out under their
direction. The secretary claims
some of the credit for securing the
extension of the Bayfield, paving this
year, but that all these things have
been and are being done, before
winter sets in, is the important
thing. We grow pessimistic and
growl at the city authorities, oftimes,
without cause. Remember that the
large material improvements, such as
those mentioned, the white way"
lighting system, new homes, etc. etc.
have all been a matter of two or
three years at the most. Rather
one year covers it, than three.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-09-20

Now if Washburn has done these
things cannot she do others? OF
course. 1t is only the question OF
getting properly aroused to the pitch
of going after them. SO, when you
look at things here, look on the
bright side, for there is one. We
hope that next year, with Bayfield,

proposition to beautify it with hang
ing gardens will not die an ignomini-
Gus death, as it did this year.
