British transports, which have

The present plan is to bring

There is a growing impression
that the public school may take a

the unfolding of natural and scien-

taught along with a clear idea of
such responsibility, loyal reverance
for the flag and the names that have

day OF every school year be given
over to semisocial review of public
affairs, to the earring of banners,
and the singing of patriotic songs.
it would be day we'll spent. The
Republic has had already very seri-
GUS problems before it of race and
of the amaleamation of nationalities
and religions. The children in the
schools today must be equipped not
only with education, but the loyalty
to solve these problems.

COPPER PRICE FIXED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-On re-
commentator of the war industries
board, President Wilson today ex-
tended until June l, the price of % u
cents pound for copper fixed Sep
tember 21.
The maximum price was ordered
continued upon the following con-
ditiOn:
That wages be not reduced; the
producers will sell to the allies and
the public copper at the price paid
by the government, and that neces-
sary measures be taken under the
direction of the war industries board
to prevent copper from falling into
the hands of spectators who would
increase the price to the public; and
that the producers exert every effort
to keep up the production to the
maximum of the past as long as the
war lasts.

TAKING LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
IN TRADE.

81 hope that the merchants of the
country, upon a more careful consid-
Grafton of the subject, will discOn-
tinue their efforts to sell merchan-
disc and take Liberty loan bonds in
payment" says Secretary McAdoo.
The secretary states that he has no
doubt that merchants offering to
take Liberty loan bonds in exchange
for merchandise are actuated by pa
triotic motives, but such transac-
tions tend to defeat a primary OBJ
ject of the bond sales, as they discour-
age thrift and increase expenditures.
Bonds so taken in exchange in most
cases are Immediately sold in the
open market which tends to suppress
the market price and adversely af-
fects sales of future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the treasury department to have
these government bonds purchased
for permanent investment by the
people and paid for out of savings,
thus not only providing funds for the
government but effecting conserva-
tion of labor and material; exchang-
ing them for merchandise therefore
defeats this purpose

FARMS, PRODUCE MANY MILLIONS

Farm products of the United States
reached the unprecedented value of
$19, 1881 last year, an in
crease of more than $4,000, 900
over 1916 and almost 9,OOO,OOO,OOO
more than 1915.
A preliminary estimate just an
nounced by the department of agri-
culture shows crops were valued at
$13,61O,462,7S2 and represented 70
per cent of the value of all farm pro-
ducts. Animal and animal products
were valued at $5,S33,386,599 in the
year 1917, an increase of almost ST.
100000 over 1915.
Value of all farm crops for 1917
by states, not including the value of
animals and animal products, shows
Illinois first, Texas second and Iowa
third. In 1916 Texas led with Iowa
second and Illinois third.

GRAND CANYON PROJECT SURE.

j. B. Grand, who has been city en-
gineer of Phoenix the past two years,
has resigned that position to devote
his whole time to the project of build
ing a big dam in the Grand Canyon
at Diamond Canyon. The preliminary
work on the project has been COM
pleted and now the work of build
ing the dam will be rushed as soon as
the spring floods subside Necessary
material can be brought in while the
river is high, but it will be as late as
July before the first work on the dam
foundation can be carried on.

SMARTNESS IN THE ARMY.

One of the best lessons a soldier
learns, coming close to those of dis
cipline and orderly action, is that of
"smartnesS." Indeed this may be set
down as part of discipline, and for
that reason in all the great training
camps the young men, newly from civil
life, are getting advice and instruction
on the point, says Omaha Bee. 1t
means that the soldier must be care
full Of his personal appearance, avoid
Ing slOuchiness in dress or demeanOr
as he would the plague. The moral eff
feet of this is direct and easily recOg
nized. The "smart" soldier is good
soldier, and reflects in his bearing and
attitude the lessons of his training.
He is alert, resourceful, and in all
ways dependable and efficient. The
American army does not stress this be-
yond reason, for it is traditional to re-
tain as much of the individual quail
ties of the men as is compatible with
need for concerted action. This pol
icy has been of immune value in devel-
oping self-reliance and initiative, the
chief characteristic of the American
soldier. Proper relaxation essential
to personal comfort is always permit
ted, and the combination Of this ele-
ment with that of disciplinary routine
produces the best fighting organization
the world has ever known.

Italy must be supplied with all the
things necessary to keep it in the field.
1t must have food and fuel and steel.
1t is estimated that it needs 10000
tons Of shipping month. We can sup
ply much Of this now, and probably
all of it before very long. Italy occu-
pies an important position upon enemy
territory, and continuance of it's cam
paign will force Austria to it's knees,
and that will mark the end for Ger
many. Italy's resources are not great,
but it's drives at Austria must not be
allowed to slacken, and if we cannot
give Italy all it needs Immediately, we
can supply it with enough to keep it
actively in the field.

Believe in "Safety First"

It is no uncommon thing for large
corporations to spend $4,000 a year
just for salaries and Office expense of
a safety department. Generally, there
are a number of inspectors who spend
their entire time going from one point
to another, watching for danger spots
either in the location of machinery or
in the constantly shifting piles Of

cost Of sugar ought to remember that

BACKYARD POULTRY.

Raising small backyard f1ocks of
chickens on table and kitchen scraps
to produce the family's eggs and part
of it's meat supply is solution Of one
of the problems of high cost of living,
according to Farmers Bulletin $50
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, Backyard Poultry
Keeping" Even as few as six or
eight hens, says the bulletin, should
produce eggs enough, when used
economically, for family of four or
five persons throughout the entire
year except during the molting per-
iod of the fall and winter. By
the preservation in waterglass of
surplus eggs produced during the
spring and early summer, even this
period of scarcity can be provided
for The use of scraps in feeding
will keep the cost of maintenance
relatively low, since only small
quantity of supplemental feed will be
necessary.
Flock Kept Odorless and Noiseless.
There is no necessity for the back
yard poultry flock to become nui-
sance to neighbors, says the bulletin.
If the house and yards are kept rea-
sonably clean there will be no annoy
ing odors. The noise made by the
male birds can best be eliminated, it
is suggested, by eliminating the male
bird himself. The fact that there is
no male in the flock will have abso-
lutely no effect on the number of
eggs laid by the hen.
General-purpose Breed Best.
One of the general-purpose breeds,
such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, or Orpington is
preferable to the smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns, if the flock is to contri-
butte to the family meat supply as
well as to furnishing eggs. If the
production of eggs is the principal
aim of the poultry farmer, however,
it will pay to keep one of the egg
breeds since they eat less than the
larger fowls. City poultry keepers
usually find it more advantageous
to purchase pullets in the fall for
egg production.
