FARMERS WARNED
OF POTATO WART.

- Potato wart, one Of the most dan
gerous diseases of Irish potatoes, hav-
ing been discovered in the United
States and, therefore, being menace
to Minnesota's potato industry, the
plant pathology division Of the Depart
sment of Agriculture, University of Min
:nesota, is sending warnings to farmers
to be on the lookout for the disease.
In case the disease is discovered it is
to be reported to the county agent, to
the plant pathology division at Univer-
sity Farm, or to the plant disease sur
vey of the United States department Of
agriculture at Washington, D. G.
The disease may be recognized by the
presence of rough, spongy outgrowths,
brown at first but black and decayed
with age, on tubers especially at the
eyes.

Prices Still Upward.

When the armistice was signed, it
was generally expected that soon the
trend. of prices would be downward.
The fighters would get to work, and
would be raising crops in Europe, war
bills would stop and there would be a
general tendency back to normal condi-
lions.
But here it is eight months after the
end Of hostilities, with prices no lower
and many further advances threatened.
Clothing and shoes will go up in the
fall. Food prices show no indication
Of dropping: The cost Of building and
repairing houses is increasing.
A man bought pair Of shoes In
big city store for $500. He was a
rather free spender, so he did not think
much Of the price afterward. Then he
saw attached to the ticket the name OF
q manufacturer with whom he had
some acquaintance ; personally. He
wrote to the maker and asked him to
send him pair Of just the same shoes
and bill him at whatever the price was.
He received the shoes. and the bill was
$3.50. It looked as if some one was
making money. -. ....
No doubt this case was exceptional
The shoes were probably bought at
fancy price store, and the man may
have gotten the second pair at cost
through friendship. The great MAORI
ty of retail stores are making nothing
out of these advances. But there are
chances for profteering in a time when
prices change so fast.
Any producer is entitled to an ad
vance on his product comparable to the
general advance in expenses and livlns
costs. But a great many advances are
going far beyond that point and should
stop. All elements should get together
in a nation wide movement to stol
prices in every case at reasonable
point. If it can not be done by law, il
q could be accomplished by some form o.
community action and cooperation O
all elements.

I. Court decision holds that gasoline in

A recent issue of the Spectator con-
tains the following ~ dbl.
An important decision relative to the
general practice Of farmers keeping
iafheirs motor cars, trucks and engines in
:Rfhefr barns has just been announced by
!, Kansas supreme court in the suit

), s s. !; Morgan carried two policies on his
,,Rarn on his farm. Both contained the
provision that no gasoline could be
,,aRt0red in the barn. He kept his motor
,Ikcarsin the barn, and the tank of the car
xnynally contained from two to ten gal
Ions. of gasoline The car was not in
.,ISSthe barn at the time of the fire which
I4aStroyed it. Morgan maintained that
the gasoline in the car was not in stor-
age and that the prohibition of the in
surance policies was not being violated,
The insurance companies refused to pay
the. claim for the loss on the ground
that the prohibition in the policy
against the keeping of gasoline in the
barn had been violated.
The supreme court sustained the lat.
Ter view The decision is of large i'm.
portance to the insurance companies
and to farmers generally. Compare.
lively few farmers have separate gar.
ages for their cars and most of them
: Keep their cars, trucks, tractors, and
j even gasoline engines stored in the
barns.
- The decision definitely settles the
point that gasoline in the tank in q
motor car is gasoline in, storage wheI
kept in building covered by policy
prohibiting the storing Of gasoline il
that building. It may be necessary fol
the companies to prepare a new rura
property policy form to make certain
that the farmers do not violate the re
duirements of the policies and to cal
their special attention to the fact tina:

HAPPY NATIVES OF sARAWAx
Under Wise Government, People Live
Easy Lives in Their Gioriously
Fertile Country.

The tribe of Kayans. inhabiting the
head waters OF the Baram and Rejang
rivers of Sarawak. have lived for I'M
known generations almost Isolated in
the interior of the island of BOrneo.
There are many reasons for believing
them TO be originally of Caucasian
origin. Many of them have very light
skin. and they probably reached Bor-
neo by way of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma. Rigid discipline
is chara cteristic of the domestic me-
mage. resulting in good manners and
recognition of authority. -
For good many years Sarawak
was under the independent govern
ment of white rajah. Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws. so that the island is one of the
best protected parts of the world in
this respect. Birds. beasts and butter
flies are protected. not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees and
insects of the country are being main
tanned for the enjoyment of future
generations.
Another wise move of the raJah
was to continue the native costume
what there is of tin place of intro
ducing the unsuitable. ugly and arti-
fetal modern clothing of Europeans
This. as Stevenson points out. has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by well-meaning
missionaries. and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very well off as they are.

GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers in Northwestern Canada
Have Photographic Studies Of
Wilderness Wild Life.

After three years hunt with the
camera in the almost unknown Laird
river district in northwestern Canada.
FL. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson
have come back to civilization by way
of Peace river. Alberta. bringing sew
eral thousand Photographic studies of
the manners and customs of the wild
life of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers. for they well
deserve the name. worked into the
wilderness by way Of Hudson's Hope
and the. forks of the FindIay and
Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Ora
hame. Their negatives illustrate the
habits of the ptarmigan. moose. beav-
er. Canadian wild geese and other an
imals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough
ness by means Of the camera The
travellers had devices OF various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused; and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera man
snapped" them by twitching long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
single negative of some specially shy
animal was often the only fruit of
many hours of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch single spot through their field
glasses awaiting the favorable mo-
ment to shoot" But It was all
worth 1t.

4 Filipino vassar.

What the occidental ideals Of univer-
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women Of the Orient takes on
large significance with the estab-
lishment in the Philippines of a uni
versity for girls only. This university
is to be part Of an educational group
called Centre Escolor de Senoritas,
where until now the instruction to
girls has been only in the primary.
secondary and intermediate grades.
That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions characteristic of girls col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who has observed
how Fundamentally though shyly. girl
students from the Orient have en-
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes at American
colleges.

Cleaning the stun-ps.

The rapid decrease in the number of
tall stumps which have been so ia
miliar to the traveller through the coast
hills of Oregon, is regarded as an in
dication of their approaching extinc-
ton. Hitherto some 20 feet of each
stump has been left standing, silent
relics Of former monarchs of the forest.
too thick for most saws to compass
and too full of pitch to suit the saw
mills. But now the need for timber is
greater and men no longer climb high
up on to boards thrust into notches In
the trunk to suit the saw and the saw
mill. They have learned thrift and
they cut low down lest good lumber
be uselessly wasted. Only as a record
of past wastefulness are the tall
stumps with their deep notches still
visible.
