action was later ratified in open senate
The honor is an unusual one. Many
senators said that it had never before

The appointment of Senator Nugent
is mark or appreciation and an ex-

movement was against the general in

maintained that the church did not un-

of its members. We were taken by sur

an interview as bishopric from Idaho

the church on matters which the church
as an organization has nothing to do

strong personal disapproval of those
Mormon leaders to the league as a poll

Mr. Jesse p. Rich, Preston, Franklin
county, Idaho.
Dear Sir: In reply to your favor
of May 10 referring to an "alleged
conference" between Presidents Lund
and Penrose with some members of the
so-called Non-partisan league, we nave
this to say: cat our office May we
were informed that some persons claim
ing to be a bishopric from Idaho were
anxious to see us on some important
matters and had been waiting for some
time. They were admitted, and one of
them stepped out of the room and re-
turned with some strangers who were
introduced as officers of the Non-parti-
san league. This intrusion was made
without request or excuse, but all were
treated with our usual courtesy An
attempt was made to expound. the pur-
pose and tenets of the league but we
declined entering into any discussion of
the subjects named, but in reply to the
direct question as to whether the church !
: had forbidden its members to Join the !
league We answered that the church did
not interfere with the political freedom
of its members, but left them to their
free agency. We explained, however,
that our personal opinion was that any
attempt to organize third party was
not only unnecessary but unwise, par
.ticularly while the nation was engaged
in a gigantic war, and that the two
great and historic parties were suffi.
cient to correct wrongs and establish
good government.
The Cry Of Defamation.

Late fall-any time before the
ground freezes-on most farms is the
easiest time to provide for making the
most out Of the home supply of manure.
And this year, when commercial fertil-
izers are high in price or impossible to
obtain, it is doubly essential that we
save every bit of the farm manure.
*Apply as fast as made" is the best
rule before the ground freezes, and
even later than that on level ground.
But in billy sections the farmers
doubtless are right in thinking there
is too much loss from the manure
washing down the hillsides after the
ground freezes, or on the snow. Then,
too, in the North the snow is some
times too deep for hauling to be prac.
ticable.
Pit for Storing.
Most literature on the subject Of pit
building for manure storage is based
on using concrete for material. While
this will usually pay if capital is avail
able, many farmers feel they do not
have the money to put into it. Fortu-
nately there are other ways that will
help greatly with little or no cash ex-
pense. If roof is already available
under which to store the manure, the
ground should be leveled, or, better,
made to slope toward the center. Then,
If the soil is sandy or loamy, the sur
face should be removed to depth Of
six inches or so and the heaviest clay
procurable put in. After spreading a

Then came the steam railway. With

wetted and thoroughly tamped down.
This process should be repeated until
the desired height is obtained. The
outside rim may well be a foot or more
higher than the center, this depending
on the size of the pit and the ease of
access for hauling away the manure.
While such a bottom will hold much

not use wood ashes, but coal ashes are
harmless If screened. Continue to use
enough loan to prevent any liquid

should be kept level, moist and well
tamped. Horse manure, unless mixed
with that from cows or hogs, should
be wetted thoroughly-but not enough
to drain Out-in order to keep 1t from
heating, as heating causes heavy
loss.
Keep Under Roof.
If there is no roof under which to
keep the manure, a cheap one should
be built. This may be one-slope
'lean-to" along the outside Of the
barn, a cheap shed with sides, or sim
ply four heavy, high posts on which
a roof slides up or down according to
the height of the manure-such as Is

This advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention of all distributors OF
Vick's vapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those Sec
lions stricken by Influenza. We, there
fore, call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP.
= PLY IS NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on han;l, at
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for so per cent
increase over last years sales, and not
counting our daily output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fluenza hit us-and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. IS. -. 1854 doz.
Thur, Oct. IT. -. .25 1923 doz.
Fri, Oct, 1S. 80. .39,256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 10. 80. .45,S33 doz.
Mon, Oct. p. .77,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$40O, 2841O, or over two million jars
Of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity Is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and 1t may be some
time before this supply reaches the
3obbers. In the meantime, therefore,
1t is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together with
that now on the jobbers' and retailers
shelves, in order that it may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1900 dozen
per day. We are putting on night
shift, but it will be little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol-
lows:

of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no
