The Commercial Club held a special

the fact that since the old livery barn
was demolished there are no facilities
for the stabeling of the farmers teams
to protect them from cold or other incle-
ment weather. After due consideration
it was decided to appoint a committee
to call upon the businessmen to solicit
funds with which to construct d suit
able stable to shelter farmers teams.
A committee consisting of L. E. Covell
and Victor Holm was appointed to soil
cit funds. 1t was decided If possible
to build stable 30x72 feet in size and
housing capacity of 20 teams at an
estimated cost Of $1,000. After a few
hours work the committee reports they
have $3.50 subscribed. Construction of
the stable will begin at once, on lots fur
nished by Stenbakken Bros. located
just west of their garage. The building
should be completed in few days, after
which use of the barn will be offered
to the farmers free.

Red Cross Issues Warning
Against Using of Name and
Emblem in Various Schemes

The American Red Cross has issued
warning to the public against per-
soEs who, are using the Red Gross
name and emblem for commercial pur-
poses of various sorts. Any CONNER
cial enterprise that is seeking to push
its business under the Red Cross name
is doing so without the consent of the
national and divisional headquarters
of the organization. The provisions
of its charter prohibit the use of the
Red Cross name or emblem for COM
mercial purposes. Some of the en-
terprises named by the Red Cross as
unauthorized are the selling of trink-
cts and war pictures by discharged
and wounded soldiers with the state
ment that a part of the profits Of the
sales will be given to the Red Cross.
and the offering for sale of certificates
TO the families of the men in the serv-
ice. representing that by such pur-
chase the family may obtain the
speedy discharge Of their soldiers and
representing that the proceeds of the
sale of these certificates will result

Canning Club Products in
Demand, Bring Good Prices
and Increase Food Supply

Some of the canning club girls or
yanized by the home demonstration
agents of the United States depart
nent of agriculture and the state agri-
cultural colleges utilize their canning
knowledge only to provide the family
table with plenty of fruit and vege-
tables. The larger number, however,
not only practice what they have
learned for the benefit of their fam
lies. but increase their incomes by
marketing the surplus. The agents
WHO helped during the canning later
assist in the marketing Of the prod
nets. The uniform excellence of the
Al brand makes it comparatively
easy task to keep a customer once he
has used the products. The agent In
Jasper county, Mississippi, has found
ready sale for the canned fruits ana
vegetables her girls wish to sell. one
day in March SITS worth were weigh
ed, sold and shipped. The demand
Is constant, because the buyer reports
that the club girls canned goods are
the best he has found on the market.

Community Drier Will Help
Save Much PeriShabIe Food;
Cooperation Is Suggested

Cities or villages confronted with
the question of saving surplus perish
able crops from home and school gar
dens this season may well consider
the construction and operation of a
community drier, according to e. l..
Kirkpatrick of the Colorado Agricul-
tural college, who says:
practically all vegetables, as we'll
as fruits, may be dried or dehydrated
and kept in paper bags or paper car
tons until needed for use this fall or
winter.
1.-THE cost of a satisfactory fam
equipped drier with a capacity of from
500 to 1000 pounds of raw produce
per day will be between $3.50 and
$500. The best general-purpose
plant is of the combined tunnel and
cabinet type, fitted with an exhaust
fan at one end and box heating stove
at the other. Pipe from the stove
should run below the set of trays or
tills throughout the full length of the
drier.
Before undertaking the building of
plant, each community should make
thorough survey of the amount of
perishable crops available, decide on
satisfactory building for housing the
outfit and formulate business plan
of operation throughout the season"

Cheap Coffee Is Made From
DandeIion Root, According
to a Prominent Botanist

Much of the Surprising" cheap
brand of coffee is made from dande-
lion root, according to Prof. William
Trelease of the department of botany
at the University of Illinois. Dande-
lions, he points out, belong to the
ehicory family, and the root is used to
adulterate coffee much as chicory. 1t
is also used to adulterate chicory. Pro-
fessor Trelease believes that the dam
delion, which generally is considered
a pest to good lawns, is a very useful
plant, which has strayed from its
proper place in the garden where it
is cultivated.
Besides being used for cheap grades
of coffee, the plant yields milky juice
which, in the form of extract, is used
as a medicine The blanched leaves
of the dandelion are often used for
salads. They are also used as greens.
In America there are two varieties
of the dandelion, both of which are
weeds. One kind has an olivecolored
fruit pod while the other has red
fruit pod. The latter is not so good
for green's, since the leaves are stringy
and cook down to almost nothing.
There are 81 varieties altogether,
most of which are native IN Europe.
In French gardens where they are
cultivated they are delicious, espe-
cially for salads. The leaves are used
to feed silkworms when mulberry
leaves are not available.
Many people believe that dandelions
are used for butter coloring. This is
mistake. however, as the name dande-
lion on the package is a trade mark
The coloring is made from coal tar
dyes.

viii Require 100000 Men
To Harvest Kansas Wheat,
Says Labor Service Chief

An army of more than 100000 men
will be required to harvest the wheat
crop in Kansas this year, according
to A. L. Barkman, director of harvest
work, United States employment serv-
ice. Sixty thousand of this number
must come from outside the state.
In making the estimate, he referred
TO the report of the Kansas board of
agriculture, which said that with a
general average condition of 1892 per
cent on an estimated total of 1O,759,-
600 acres of growing winter wheat,
Kansas never had a more fiattering
prospect for a record-smashing CROP"
The harvest labor problem in Kan
sas is more difficult than in any other
state, and $4,000 posters have been dis
tributed among government buildings
throughout the nation. While 500 let
ters day are received from prospec-
tive workers, Barkman said most care
full distribution will be necessary to
prevent a labor shortage.
Wheat cutting usually starts in the
south central counties of Kansas about
June Is to 20, reaching the central
part of the state ten days later. The
demand for men increases as the har-
vest district broadens.
''Men should, if possible, provide
themselves with sufficient funds to
tide them over for a few days in case
Of rains or unavoidable delays in Sc
ct3ring work. said Barkman. "The
harvest fields do not offer light work,
arid the sun is often exceedingly hot.
Therefore, boys and men who are I'M
used to heavy work are handicapped
in securing employment in competi-
tien with able-bodied, experienced
men,"
Missouri can care for it's big wheat
crop with local labor, Barkman said.
Nebraska and states north will be sup
piled with harvest labor by the drift
of men from Kansas, if that state, the
center of the wheat belt, has sufficient
supply.

Deadliest Poison Ever Known

the armistice before all the resources

Ten airplanes carrying 'Tewisite"
would have wiped out every vestige

the Articles of Confederation and the
Constitutional of which he was in
strumental in preparing.
The committee elected Jefferson
chairman and instructed him to make
draft of a declaration. The COM
mittee submitted its first draft June %.
July the congress adopted the res
olution presented by Lee and resolved
to take further consideration on the
morrow. On the third the commit e
had not finished its labors, but on July
4 it presented a completed draft to the
body, and after a long debate, which
continued until the night, the con-
gress adopted the Declaration of In
dependence. After the committee of
the whole had debated the paper for
hours Benjamin Harrison reported to
congress that the Declaration of indie
pendence had been agreed to by the
committee of the whole. The paper
was again read and ordered printed.
The Declaration was committed to
the printer, Dunlap, Immediately, and
the broadside was ready on the fol-
lowing day, July 5, when it received
the signatures of John Hancock and
of Charles Thomson, president and
secretary of congress- respectively, au-
thenticating the copy to be forwarded
to the governments of the thirteen
states. The signatures were followed
by the words: "By Order and in Be
half of the Congress-"
Copies of the broadside were sent
to the various states and to the COM
handing officers of the continental
troops. 1t is not certain that each of
these bore the signatures of the pres
| ident and the secretary.

And George washington De-
gan to fight the British
This is about the way the average
SchOOlbOy-nOt to say some older
Americans-thinks the Declaration of
Independence came into existence, the
independence of the United States Of
America was secured and the Fourth
of July became a national holiday.
While some of the details concern
ing the Declaration of Independence
will always be matter of argument
among historians, the sequence of
events is clear and runs like this:
Fighting between the Americans and
the British began April 10, 1775, at
Lexington. Even after the fighting
was on it was some time before the
movement for independence gained
much Roadway in the public mind.
February 13, 1776, committee ap-
pointed to prepare an address to the
country presented it's report to con-
gress. This report reads in part:
1--WE have been accused of carrying
on the war for the purpose of estab-
tentiOn. We declare that what we
aimed at and what we are entrusted
by you to pursue is the defense and
re-establishment of the constitutional
rights of the colonies"
1t was not until June z, 1776 that
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
duced q resolution which was to be-
come only less familiar than the Dec
laration itself. This resolution con
tains the famous sentence: THAT
these United States are and of right
ought to be free and independent
all allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great
Britain is and ought to be dissolved
This resolution was debated many
times by congress. The chief speak
his cousin, Samuel Adams; Roger
Sherman, Oliver Olcott, Richard Henry
Lee and George Wythe. John Dick
inson of Pennsylvania led the opposi-
ton for delay, prominent among his
followers being John Jay, James Will
son. James Duane, Edward Rutledge
and Robert r. Livingston, bit it was
evident from the beginning that they
were in the minority.
To save time a committee was ap-
pointed on June II to frame the Dec
laratiOn of Independence. Strange to
say, Richard Henry Lee, who was the
father of the resolution, and by par
liamentary right should have had the
craftsmanship of the committee, was
left out of it. The reasons for this
omission have been variously ex.
planned. 1t is a fact that he was alb
sent when the committee was named
having been called home by the illness
of his wife.
The five members We're Thomas JEFF.
ferson of Virginia, John Adams OF
Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin OF
PENNSYLVANIA, Roger Sherman of Con,

New York. All five were prominent

history as a signer of the four great
