FARM DEMONSTRATORS MILlAAR
TELLS ABOUT THE TALL,
THIN MAN THIS TINE.
Also Gives Some Good Points On
Storing and Using
Fertilizers.

Last week l talked about fat
man and got by with it. I'll take a
chance this week and talk abolt a
tail, thin man. This man owns a
bright little son, who wants to be a
farmer, and good farmer, so much
SO, that, he begged his father 20 let
him stay home from school the day
I was there to learn to piow. I was
talking to the father about the loss
in the lot manure that was lying
around. and suggested it be gather
ed up and put under cover. away
from the teaching rains and hot sun
Nearby, l had seen the front yard
and lane of a farm house nicely
cleaned up, looking fine, but little
further down the road came across
a good size pile of sheep manure ex-
posed to the elements and wasting
its fertility on the desert air. Now
that man in cleaning up his yard
would, II he saw dollar bin lying
on the ground, pick it up, but he left
the sheep manure and barn yard
droppings to waste, worth to him and
his land more than the dollar bill.
The boy heard us discussing this
aspect of 1t. and l heard after tina.
the next morning he was up bright
and early and had picked up all that
wasting fertilizing material in sight
some boy. understand that this
boys father is going to give him a
small plot of ground to plant his to-
matoes and watermelons in, and that
all he can sell from that patch be-
longs to him to do just as he durn
pleases with-no strings to any mon
ey that comes from that patch, and
who knows? Maybe he will buy a
thrift stamp with some of it and help
Uncle Sam?
In making his watermelon beds |
understand he Is going to put
shovel full of chicken manure in
each hill, we'll mixed up with soil,
and II he falls short OF that, he will
put some rotted stable manure and
a cup full OF acid phosphate or raw
bone superphosphate in each hill.
He Is going to burn lot OF small
oak branches to get potash, because
there is more content OF potash in
the small oak branches than in the
trunk, and he intends to put several

The Term "Victory Bread
Means Not More Than 80
Percent Wheat

Any baker will be permitted to
advertise his product as victory"
bread if it contains not more than
80 per cent wheat fou1. No stipu-
lation is made as to what ingred-
tents shall compose the other 20
per cent, 50 long as they are select

the Food Administration, which in
cludes corn flour and corn meal,
barley -four, oat meal, rice and rice
-four, potato -four, etc.
Until March 3, rye -four may be
used in making victory on the same
basis as wheat, as rye flour is now
being shipped to the allies. Bread
made of graham or whole wheat

Bureau Of Mines to mean a guam
tity of less than one ounce.
Licenses will be required of all
persons manufacturing, distribut-
ing, storing, using or possessing
powder, explosives, blasting sup
plies or ingredients expect as pro-
vided in the law. The word per
son" is defined to include States,
Territories, the District of Colum-
bia, Alaska, and other dependence
les of the United States, and muni-
cipal subdivisions thereof, individ-
ual citizens, firms, associations and
corporations of the United States
and of other countries at peace
with the United States.
The purpose of the act is to pre-
vent disloyal persons from procur-
ing explosives, and to keep explos-
ives out Of the hands of persons
who will not guard them carefully
enough to prevent them from be-
ing stolen or used by disloyal per-
sons. LicensOrs have been in
Structed to refuse to issue license
to any person not known to be loyal
and responsible unless recommend
ed by reputable citizens of the
community.
An applicant for license must
appear in person before the licen-
SOr.
A license is not transferable and
may be used only by the person to
whom it has been issued. If there
is any special question regarding
this matter inquiries should be
made of the Director, Bureau of
Mines, Washington, D. c., or Of the
State explosives inspector.
Acting under the Director of the
Bureau of Mines, there is in each
State a State explosives inspector
appointed by the President. The
duty Of the State explosives in
spector is to see that the explosives
regulation law is faithfully execut-
ed. He will represent the Director
of the Bureau of Mines in his State
in following up violations Of the
law which may come to his atten-
ton.
A vendors license authorizes the
holder to purchase, possess and
sell explosives or ingredients.
A record must be made at the
time of. each sale which will in
clude the. kind and number of the
purchasers license, his name,
quantity and kind of explosive or
ingredient purchased, and date of

military period, meant practically,
she remained a household slave.
Her only escape was to enter a
convent and become the bride Of
Christ"
The speaker referred to the fact
that in many of our own states, at
the present time, there is scant
legal protection for women. He
related the story of a minister of
whom he knew, who married a
wealthy widow. A short time later,
whether by intention of chance,
the family moved to Arkansas,
where the man, according to the
law of that state, came into full
possession of his wife's fortune.
Not very long ago woman was re-
quired to get legal permission for
doing even such humble work as
the duties of a janitress. In New
York today a woman, if married,
is required to take oath that her
husband is unable to support her,
before she can secure employment
as teacher, at the hands of the
Board of Education.
DR.. Moore referred to the uues-
tion of suffrage which he discussed
as one of many ends, all of which
contribute to woman's place in So
ciety. Suffrage has been so re-
garded," he declared, "since the be-
ginning of the movement at the
first convention held at Seneca, n.
Y, in 1848. Of the eighteen griev-
ances set forth at this Convention,
only four had to do with suffrage.
"The development of society,"" DR..
Moore continued, may be roughly
grouped under two heads military
and industrial. Woman has been
given no place in military councils
by primitive or modern pepole.
Even in primitive times, however,
among many Indian tribes, she oc-
cupied four-ffths Of the positions
in civil councils. Today, with mod
ern psychological research reveal
ing no intellectual difference on
the part Of woman; with the wo-
men of the world purchasing nine
ty-tive percent of the worlds
goods, it seems only logical that
woman should provide the stand
ards of foods, drugs, and all the
industrial arts. Indeed it seems
practically certain that England
and the United States, as we'll as
all those countries which make any
claim to a democratic government,
will at not far distant date, put
power into the hands of their wo-
men by the extension of the fran
chise to every citizen"
At the business session which
followed, the resignation of Mrs.
E. w. Dawson from the office of
second vice-president was present
ed. Mrs. Dawson, in a letter ac-
companying her resignation, stated
that her action was due to illness.
The vacancy will be filled by the
Executive Board Of the Club. The
financial report Of the Board of Di-
rectOrs was also read by Mrs. J.

confess that we are now ilabbcrgas;-

We have no sympathy with il. We
are a respecter OF the gentle sex
but sometimes they make Us feel

who will plaster a thrift stamp upon
her cheek with the idea that it en-
hances her beauty is an addle pated

OF expression TO her face which she
otherwise might not have but it
stamps her mind as a blank. Thrift
Stamps are a serious business. They
mean serious things. They ought TO
be treated as a part OF the govern
ment's program for patriotism instead
OF paraded before the public as a sub
stitute for moles. We might suggest
that the wearers, If they are going
TO such extremes, keep sticking thrift
stamps on their physiOgs until they
accumulate enough to get a IS stamp
and then trade face and all in at the
bank as is contemplated by the thrift
stamp campaign. They and the gov
eminent will be money ahead.
