PUTTING EAR CORN IN sILo
Best to Add Some Stalks Because They
Furnish Much Sugar Essential
to Fermentation.

/, It has been found practical to en-
sile soft corn ears without any stalks,
but it is better to add some stalks
because they furnish much sugar
which is essential to proper 3ermenta-
ton. Tests made at Ames on the
Iowa station show that an immense
amount of corn can be slowed away
in a silo this way, that it will not
spoil, and that it makes en- exceed
ingly rich feed. 1t should be fed as a
concentrate and not as roughage.
The ears should be cut fine and thor
,oughtly tramped in the silo when
filling. Do not let any spoiled ears
get In, or too big a proportion Of ma
ture corn, as this does not pack and
ensf1e so well. 49,.

vETcH CROP IN HOME GARDEN
Spared or Hoed Under II Will Assist
In Keeping Soil Supplied With
Needed Humus.

A few cents worth of vetch Seed
planted In the garden each year and
,spaded or hoed under as a green ma
Inure crop will keep the soil supplied
with hrmus and, to large extent, with
nitrogen. The vetch should be kept
growing at all times in all aVaila5ie
iSpaceS.
! For example, if early corn or cab
;bage are not removed in time to allow
for a follow-up crop, ,vetch can be
iplanted between the rows at the time
of the last cultivation. 1t will then be
large enough to spade under in the fall!
or spring. Another good way to use
ivetch is to SOW it in the fall or spring
when the garden is being spaded in
preparation for tomatoes.
j By the time the tomato plants are
ready to eat, the vetch will be well un-
der way. If the vetch is not more than
three or four inches high, places can
be cleared at proper distances for
planting the tomatoes by turning I'M
der a spade or two Of soil. Then
when the vetch left between the to-
matoes is six or eight inches high, it
can be hoed in. Since it is green and
tender, this is no great task and the
vetch will soon rot. If vetch is used in
this way, the soil should be inocu.
lated with the necessary bacteria. In
structions for doing this simple work
can be had upon application to the
state college of agriculture at Ithaca,

turning over to one man the authority
Of an autocrat, with the duly elected
representatives of the people unable
to put check upon his actions.
Not only does Mr.. McArthur's bin
strip from the President much of the
power that now gives him authority
equal to that of any king, but it turns
that power back to the people from
whom it came, and permits them,
through their representatives, to as
sumo the reins of legislation nine
months earlier than is now possible
except at the will of the President.
Under the present system there
elapses an interval OF thirteen months
between the election of new Con-
gress in November and the time they
are regularly convened under the law
in December of the following year.
Mr.. McArthur's measure will cut that
period to four months.
Not only will the verdict of the vot-
ers find expression in legislation nine
months earlier than heretofore, but
the tremendous congestion in the So
called short session of Congress i'm

been absolutely necessary to enact all
the big money supply bills before ad-
journment on March 4th so that funds
would be available to run the govern
ment after the expiration of the fis-
cal year on June 30th. The result has
been that in the closing days of Con-
gress bills appropriating hundreds of
of dollars from the Federal
Treasury have been damned through
with no Opportunity whatever for ade-
quate consideration. If the Macarthur

be given close scrutiny and subjected

THE HEART OF THE WORLD"

Washington, May 20.-The Repub'
lican Publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jo., today gave out the following
statement from it's Washington Head
quarters:
president Wilson in recent Paris
speech, done in English, is reported to
have said The heart of the world is
under very plain jackets. The heart
of the world is at very simple firesides.
The heart of the world is in very
simply circumstances; and unless you
know the pressure of life of the hum
bier classes, you know nothing of life
whatever
"The heart of Mr.. Wilson is under a
frock coat, and his brain is under a
high silk hat. The heart of Mr.. Will
son, for the past six months at least,
has been at the firesides of royalty and
in the beds Of prices of the blood. The
heart of Mr.. Wilson has pulsed with
joy at gold plate dinners and in en-
joying a homage greater than that of
kings. The simple circumstances of
his first trip to France were followed
by the presentation of bill to Con-
gress of $5,000,000 to defray the ex-
penses, and what the second trip will
cost is not yet known, but the $1,000
600 said to have been expended in rem
ovating the Hotel Crillon-the Paris
White Housewife be an item.

entered Davidson College at Is years
of age, and from 1874 to 1902, with
the exception of two years unsuccess-
full practice of law in Atlanta, Ca, he
idealized in the sequestered environs

Virginia, John Hopkins, Bryn Mawr,

1885 he married the daughter of a |

blue blood of Pocohontas. His chief |

ever come into direct contact with
the heart of the world?
"Yet he has been often classed by
his f1atterers with Honest Abe. the
Illinois rail-splitter. The classified
ton is inaccurate. Lincoln sprang
from the loins of the people. While
engaged in the hewing of wood and the
drawing of water he educated himself.

to creed, principles, or religious faith
those requesting their aid, advice or
assistance. A person naturally has
preferences, but when in disterss if the
one desired is not available, then the
other is called, and the substitute
gladly responds. 1t is always an aid
to humanity.
This is beautiful spirit, and il
should be emulated in other walks of
life.

MANY THOUSANDS OF
BARBERRY DESTROYED

East Lansing, May 28.-More than
half million bushes of barberry,
enough to account for widespread
rusting of wheat and other grains have
been destroyed in Michigan since the
campaign to eradicate the disease
bearing bush was started year ago.
In one county school children who CO.
operated in the work found more than
100 locations of the bush, with indica-
tions that there was a much wider dis
tribution.
The campaign is being pushed this
year, declares G. H. Coons, State
Leader of Burberry Eradication, in
order that the good work done last
year may be finished up by complete
eradication of the bush. The benef-
cial results of the work are already
apparent, and every effort is being
made to clean up the campaign this
summer. Prompt and complete eradi-
cation is necessary if wheat rust is to
be controlled, according to Professor
Coons.
The case against the barberry was
definitely proved last winter by ger
mination tests conducted in eight
Michigan counties. Wheat rust can
live over the winter in either the black
rust or the red rust stage. The black
rust carries the germ over only when
the barberry comes in as intermedi-
airy, and the tests conducted last win
ter prove that the red rust does no,
live over the winter in Michigan's eli
mate. Spread of the rust is therefore
laid definitely to the barberry, as it is
necessary to carry over the only rust
which survives the winter in Michigan.

Washington Letter.
MACARTHUR TAKES THE LEAD

Washington, May 27.-(Special cor
respondence)-'T believe in govern
ment by law and not by men," declares
Congressman c. N. Macarthur of Ore
gon. Acting upon that principle he
introduced, on the first day of the ses-
sion, a bill to provide an additional
session of Congress on the fifth day
Of March, 1921, and biennially there
after. There will be few measures
considered by the present Congress
that will represent a longer step in
the direction of return to popular
government in this country than the
change proposed by Representative
Macarthur.
In the first place it takes from the
hands of the President the power that
he now possesses to run the govern
ment as he chooses from the 9TH of
March in every odd-numbered year un-
til the LIST Monday in December fol-
towing, a period of nine months. Not
often has this power been abused, but
since Mr.. Wilson has been in the
White House the country has been
awakened to the potential danger of

A LITTLE DEMOCRATIC
ADVICE TO WILSON

Boston, May 24.-President Wilson
was urged to return from Paris and
devote his attention to reducing the
cost of living in this country, in a
cablegram sent to him Friday by
Francis j. Finneran, president of the
Democratic club of Massachusetts,, and
26 Democratic members of the legisla-
ture.
The message said:
"The citizens of the United States
want you home to help reduce the
high cost of living, which we consider
far more important than the League
of Nations"

PLACE IN THE
 WORLD IS IN ALASKA

The stormiest place in all the world is said to be Cape Prince of Wales, which is the westernmost point of Alaska. It is marked by a consider able mountain, 2,210 feet high, and fierce winds blow there perpetually. Storms from the Arctic Ocean assail this inhospitable region all the year round.
 On the south side of the mountain are Eskimo dwellings-"igloes" dug underground, and walled and roofed with timbers. No trees grow in that region, but the natives of far north- ern Alaska have always a plentiful supply of driftwood, carried from the Yukon river by an ocean current that skirts the coast. The underground ig- loes Constructed to escape the storm and wind) are so built as to form con- meeting rooms, with communicating doors that are mere holes through which the occupants are obliged to crawl on hands and knees. The only ventilation is afforded by the verte- bra of of a whale (which serves as an air tube), thrust up through the roof.
 On the north Cor Arctic) side of the Cape is one of the most prosperous of native villages, whose inhabitants keep and breed reindeer, and sell the meat at good price to passing ships.

WHERE HE BELONGED

A little old lady waiting patiently for street car, but it chanced to be just at that hour when many were going out of service.
 When the first one came along she stepped into the street, but the car growled past without even slowing up
 The next one did, however, but the conductor, leaning over the rail, bawl- ed out, "Going to the barn."
 Twice this happened and the little old lady, who at first had accepted the "going to the barn" with resigna- tion, had reached the boiling point when for fourth time car stopped and the conductor, yanking the bell, chortled, Going to the barn."
 Well, go to the barn, yuh darn old jackass; it's just where yuh belong yelled the indignant one, brandishing her umbrella.

BACHELORS MUST NOW
 PAY FOR "SINGLE BLISS

The recent reply of Austen Cham berlain in Parliament that he was making inquiries about the taxation of bachelors reminds one that if the tax is imposed it will not be the first time in England.
 Many years ago every single man over 25 years old had to pay an an- nual sum of one shilling (twenty-five cents), a greater amount then than it is now, by the way, with a further sum, according to his rank, ranging from five shillings for a gentleman to l2e 12s ($62.50) for duke or arch bishop. This tax on bachelors raised more than 50,000f ($250,000) year, and the number of bachelors was much smaller then than it is now.
 Italy, in it's new budget, also is pro- posing to tax bachelors. One of the states of Germany, in 1911, passed a law that all unmarried persons over 30, bachelors and spinsters, should pay an additional per cent income tax on incomes below $l 800 a year, and 10 per cent on incomes above. The man who brought the bill forward was him. self bachelor.
 In Argentina every man over 20 who does not get married is taxed $5 a month for every month he remains single. till he is 30.
 If he has still fought shy of matri- monial bliss at this age, the tax is increased to $10 month until he is 35. From 35 to 50 the tax is $20 a month, and then $30 a month un- til is 75.
 Hearty old bachelors over that age, however, are taxed only $20 month on the principle that no blushing spin ster will look at them.
 Of course, even now there is an in- direct tax on bachelors, for married men are allowed so much abatement on their income tax for a wife and children. But there was time when a man was taxed for marrying and having children in England. Years ago, for example, duke had to pay $25l for the privilege of getting mar ried, while if the duchess presented him with a son and heir he had to pay out $150 to the chancellor of the exchequer.
 Even those whose incomes were as low as $250 year had to pay tax of seventy-five cents when they got married and fifty cents every time they became father. Now babies are so scarce that the tendency is all the other way round, to let the fathers off as lightly as possible.

features the uneven tunic. The mate rial is artistically draped so that it falls low and rounded on one side and straight and short on the other side. The underskirt is not very narrow, for the fabric being soft falls into pretty folds. The huge bertha is a timely revival, as are the short sleeves. The sleeves, bertha, lower edge of the skirt and tunic are trimmed with insertion. The long uneven lines lend quiet dig nity to the whole makeup.
 The Bride Steps Forward
 May is the time of preparation for the June bride. There is so much to do. And although she has been plan ming and preparing, there is always some last-minute touches that must be done. The wedding gown is the first consideration. The pure white satin of the past is being rather for saken for the less severe and more flattering cream satin. If jewels are worn, they should be pearls. Pearls have all the naive quality that is so
The Coconino sun., 1919-06-06

necessary in the bridal costume. With one costume of cream satin, the bride wore long rope of pearls which she wound about her throat in quite a unique fashion.
 As usual, satin and lace are the fav- orites for the bridal dress, but other materials such as crepe de Chine and Georgette may be used for less formal ceremonies.
 The Importance of Negligee
 There is perhaps no other garment in the trousseau that is more delight ful to make than the negligee. With the negligee there are no conventions to be regarded and all the longed-for fancies may be expressed in the illu- sive folds of the fairy-like fabrics.
 The black and white craze seems to have been revived for the negligec. This is trying contrast and the area of spotting must be adjusted so as to suit each individual. When carefully done, however, it is hard, indeed, to find any combination or contrast that will be as attractive as this.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING NOW
 SQUARELY BEFORE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Universa, military training will command the at tention of the Sixty-sixth Congress. Resolutions calling upon the militaI~ establishment for its recommendation e as to the instruction of the youth of the nation in modern warfare havo been drafted and submitted There will be waged a contest. the outcore of which is more pregnant of import ance to the future of the country than was the institution of military con- scription at the outbreak of the war. The resolutions submitted not on'v will demand statements from the sec- retarv of war and the general staff i- Washington. but call upon General Pershing and the overseas general staff for their observations. Before the issue is settled most of our leadirp army officers will testify before the military committees of the two houses. Plans have already been completed for calling General Pershing and the off cers who commaDded the corps and di- visions overseas. as well as the off cers who had charge of the traininp camps at home. Furthermore. the opinions of the men in the ranks have been and are heinz sought on this fun damental military policy.
 The contest promises to be bitter. Proponents and opponents have their own lines drawn. Anyone that be- lieves so momentous an undertaking can be easily blocked or carried on through is much mistaken. The two forces are quite evenly balanced. if present indications are accurate. An parently one side is about as stronp as the other in point of number and influence and the battle may be ex- pected to surge forward and hack for many months to come. In the end the proponents may win. but whether they will get the real 0ut-and-out system of universal military training thev desire or will be compelled to be satisfied with some modified system. possibly one closely linked with the National Guard. is question that can not be answered today. While many members of the Congress are earnest advocates of universal training. there are many others who are undecided what to do or are against it. As the contest develops one may be remind ed of the fight for the passage of the first draft act. A majority of the members were opposed to conscrip- tion when it was first proposed. But for the stand taken by virile leaders in and out of Congress. it would have been defeated. Even when the time came to vote many members, who an- swered in the affirmative when their names were called. were afraid that they were signing their political death warrants. They knew they were do- ing what was right, but they had been led to believe that .conscription would be unpopular. The draft, instead of being unpopular, proved to be popu- lar, with the result that some of the members who voted for it with fear and trembling were unafraid on that score when they faced their constitu- ents last fall.
