Gates accumulates and is paid to you
in one sum on January l. 1928.
@. Why isn't the interest paid in
the same manner on both War Saw
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds
A. 1t would be very complicated
and expensive to pay interest every
six months on S. stamps, and for that
reason the United States government
retains the interest until January /,
1923, at which time pays you the
compound interest and the principal,
amounting to s., the face value OF
the War Savings Stamp.
Q. Shall | sell Liberty Bonds to
buy War Savings Stamps?
A. No. The security behind Lib
erty Bonds and War Savings Certifi-
Gates is the same. Keep your Liberty
Bonds and buy War Savings Stamps
also.
@. Is the money received from
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps ssused for the same purpose as
the money received from Liberty
Bonds?
A. Yes.
Q. Should take money out of the
savings bank to buy War Savings
Stamps?
b A. No. You should save as much
as you can every day and buy Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps
with these savings.
Q. How did congress authorize
these War Savings Certificates?
A. By act approved September "a,
1917.
O. How large an amount of War
Savings Certificates can be issued un-
der the present law?
A. $2,OOO,OOO,OOO.

Last week during the warmest
night a hobo, seeking some warm
place to spend the night, found one
of the doors to the refrigerator cars
being loaded with broccoli slightly
open, and he proceeded to make his
headquarters there for the night
The next morning as Guy Black was
preparing to finish loading the car,
he was startled by hearing a voice
from within say, Don't lock me in, "
when he made an investigation and
found that the "bo" had spent the
night in the car. 1t was fully iced
for shipment, having about six tons
of ice on board The veteran of the
road could have found more pleasant
quarters ON any river bank.-Rose-

W. S. s. "PRINIER"
ISSUED TO PUBLIC

The Liberty Loan Bonds and War
Savings Stamps are in no wise rivals.
No effort should be made to make
them such Any effort to do so is a
blow at the governments war-win-
ming preparations.
The Liberty Loans and the War
Savings Stamps are two forms of the
same financial operation of the gov
ernment. They are both authorized
by vote of congress and are intended
to supplement each other.
War Savings Stamps, particularly,
however, should be bought with saw
ings-savings accumulated by the
purchase and accumulation of Thrift
Stamps. They furnish one means by
which non-essentials can be trans
formed into essentials.

Bond and the'War Stamp the govern
ment, in its w. s. S. primer" asks
itself questions and answers them it.
self as follows
Q. What security is behind the
Var Savings Stamp?
A. The United States government
promises to pay IS for each stamp on
January /, 1928. This promise is
backed by the faith and honor of the
United States and by the taxing pow
er of this country, which is the rich
est nation In the world.
@. Why does the United States
borrow this money?
A. To pay the expenses of the war.
O. When | lend my money to the
government would 1t be safer to buy
"a government bond rather than these
War Savings Stamps?
A. When War Savings Stamp is
attached to a War Savings Certificate

Bonds now held by more than 10,-
900, 900 Americans.

GERMAN CULTURE NOT
A RECENT PRACTICE

Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
is only organized piTlage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ran
sacked on system; its citizens plum
dered, its civil officials terrorized,
imprisoned, outraged, or killed. The
civil populations have been, contrary
to the usage of modern warfare,
forced to serve the invading armies,
brutally put to death, reduced to
wholesale starvation and desolation.
Vast tracts of the richest and most in
dustrious districts of Europe have
been deliberately stripped and plung
ed into famine, solely in order that
the invaders might make war cheap
! ly. Irregular troops, contrary to all
the practice of war, have been sys.
tematically murdered. and civil popu-
lations indiscriminately massacred,
solely to spread terror. A regular
system of ingenious terrorism has
been directed against civilians. as
horrible as anything in the history of
civil or religious wars. Large and
populous cities have been, not once,
but twenty, thirty, forty times, bonn
barded and burnt, and the women and
children in them wantonly slaugh-
tered, with the sole object of inflict-
ing suffering. All this has been done
not in license or passion, but by the
calculating ferocity of scientific sol
diers."

Methods of Eradication.
Method No. 1.-Summer fallow or

lowing infested land to lie fallow
during the summer and by plowing
and pasturing to destroy the success
sive growths of wild oats as they ger
inmate from seeds brought near the
surface.
Method No. winter Rye-The
land should be plowed in the fall and
seeded to winter rye, using an early
maturing variety. The rye will ma
ture and can be harvested the follow
ing spring before the wild oat seeds
arc sufficiently mature to germinate.
The field then should be plowed or
the stubble pastured during the rest
Of the season.
Method No. observation-disclosures
oGG the Red River valley where heavy
sniIs rredominate wild oat seed will
poc live in the ground more than two
years. TIE common practice, there

"a seed the land 10 some crop for hay

wild oats viii be entirely eradicated.
Method No. f,-Intertilled crops
Wherever rotations which include in
terrified crops can be practiced II is
a comparatively simple matter to
keep this weed under control. The
jntertlllage hastens the termination
OF the seeds which are left in the
soil, and additional tillage kills the
young seedlings.
Method No. 5.--Eagly barley

three inches and prepare 2 good seed

the early spring IN order to promote
the termination Of the Wild oats. AZ

Control OF Wild Oats.


Wild oats, the worst weed pest in
tile hard spring wheat area, can be
controlled by rotating crops and by
efficient tillage methods. As the
eradication methods differ according
10 the soil and climatic conditions, a
specialist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in a new
publication, describing the control of
this pest, Farmers Bulletin SS3, di-
vides the hard spring wheat area OF
North Dakota. South Dakota and
Minnesota into three general di-
visions and suggests methods for
each.
These divisions are the>Red River
valley division, which includes west
ern Minnesota and eastern North Day
kota; the western division, which
consists primarily of western North
Dakota and the southern division,
composed largely of eastern South
Dakota ana southwestern Minnesota.
The principle of eradication in all
the methods suggested by the gov
ernment specialist is to cause the
seeds of the wild oat to germinate
and then to destroy the seedlings be-
fore they mature. The methods ad-
vocated for each section described in
detail in the bulletin may be stated

ZONE SYSTEM TRIED
IN EASTERN OREGON

The new zone system for rural
school supervision, after being tried
cut one year in Polk and Marion
counties and certain sections of east
ern Oregon, formally is declared an
efficient and successful plan Prof.
NJ. S. Pittman, head of the depart
ment of rural education, recently said
the teachers, pupils and school su-
pervisors had speeded up their work
and each had learned much from the
other
Under the plan each county is di-
vlded into six zones. The county su-
pervisor spends an entire week in
each zone. He studies its character
istics and observes how it is progress
ing with classroom work. The teach
er draws up outlines and follows
well-established pedagogical princi-
pies in presenting the lesson. After
the supervisor has seen how each
teacher prefers to teach, "critique'
is held, all teachers of the zone being
present.
The principles of the system, it is
explained, are very similar to those
used in practice school teaching, as
recommended by the United States
department of Education. The CHEZ
purpose of the system is sela1instruc-
ton and an exchange of ideas.

thrown before or after her death,
and that the house was in deplor-

been cleaned for years. She testified
that Cruson had to bprrow $50 to go
to Vancouver to get married on and
stated that many of his representa-.

standing were absolutely false.
