GOVERNMENT PLANNING QUARAN-

MANY STATES

WASHINGTON.-A means toward
eliminating black stem rust of wheat
and other grains, the secretary of ag-
riculture purposes establishing a
quarantine to prohibit interstate
movement of the common barberry,
as well as other species of Berberis
and Mahonia. A public hearing will
be held at the rooms of the federal
horticultural board, Washington, D.
c., at 10 o'clock, February "a, in order
that any person interested in the pro-
posed quarantine may be heard, eth
er in person or by attorney.
Investigations made by the depart
ment of agriculture have shown that
the common barberry and related
plants are capable of harboring the
black stem rust of wheat, oats, barley,
rye, and many wild and cultivated
grasses throughout much of the grain
growing area of the country and es-
pecially in the states of Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. North

thing for the farmer to keep him pro-
tected and with this protection the
plan would be better financed. One
senator said on the floor yesterday:
81 do not doubt that farmers would
want this protection if they under
stood it. They think they must take
out a policy every time they hire a
man for few days extra work, but
this is not true. They can estimate
what their labor bill is going to be for
the year and get one policy. Then if
they spend more it will cost them
more premium while if they pay out
less for labor the money will be re-
turned to them. One accident on a
farm might cost the farmer ten times
what the policy would cost in ten
years. They ought to be in the list
1t is difficult to forecast what will
be done in the senate but the belief
prevails here that the Mason amend
ment will be killed for political rea-
sons and through desire not to an
tagonize the agriculturist.
E-Representative Greenwood
of Minidok county did not hesitate
to say lot of things every time the
Jerome county bill made it's appear
ance in the house. The bill finally
passed yesterday with many votes to
spare and creates the 43d county in
the state.
Among the charges made by Green
wood are; ring of politicians wanted
the county; false kilograms were sent;
large amounts of money were spent
in entertainment and putting 1T
over" He also wanted to know where
the money came from and said the
legislature was using the same meth
DDS as the governing powers in Ger
many used in Alsace Lorraine.
Despite, however, the strong opposf-
ton to the BILL the house lost no time
in it's passage when Representative
Hall moved the previous question.

shall be, etc., but we do say and firm.
ly believe that a more fitting tribute
or anything more needed could not be-
We have found upon investigation
and personal observation that oul
boys really have no place for amuse-
ment such as this would offer, and to
those who have boys, and girls too
; growing to manhood and womanhood
we believe that this idea should more
strongly appeal.
We are in favor of giving the young
folks place where they can go and
learn the cleaner side of life instead
of being left to learn the evils of the
street and amusements that teaches
no good.
We are in favor of such a tribute to
the soldier boys that will stand as a
living monument in their honor that
in after years may bring them JOY
in the knowledge of the noble work
they have done in the service of their
country as we'll as handing down to
their children and ours the teachings
of way to a cleaner and healthier
life.
There are some in our community
to whom this may more especially
appeal and who are better able to
understand why this is the proper
thing to do at this time and upon
these we urge the necessity of work
ing for the success of the plan.
Hundreds of other towns over the
United States are doing this very
thing and looking forward to giving
the future generations a start on the
road to cleaner living and health.
Next issue we are going to take up
the question of the good that may be
accomplished by having such an in
stitution in our midst.
In the meantime if there is any
citizen in Gordon who wishes to ex-
press themselves on the subject, for or
against, these columns are open to
them free of charge.
Let us hear from some one. We
are not anxious to say it all-only
willing to do our part.

Deary Saturday, February first, te
discuss the question of farm silos
with view to solving the feed ques-
tion should they increase the size OF
their herds.
The practicability of the silo has
been urged for some time by j. C
Peterson, editor of the Deary news
paper, and it was chiefly due to his
efforts and campaign of education
that the meeting was called.
County Agent o. S. Fletcher at

principles of construction, filling the
silo and the most satisfactory man.
ner of feeding the silage. Homer L.
Peterson, superintendent of the Deary
rural high school, took an important
place in the meeting and it was
brought out that the essential fea-
lures of the silo are that it must be
air tight at the sides and bottom, have
smooth walls to allow uniform settling
of the contents, and be sufficiently
deep to provide pressure for the ex-
cluS1On OF air.
Opinion was fairly we'll divided be-
tween the round stave silo secured
by iron hoops and the round wooden
hoop silo, which is generally lined
with flooring.
Since herd Of at least ten animals
is required to make silage feeding an
economic success, but few of the pat
rons of the Deary creamery will be
prepared to erect silos this year, but
the sentiment was enthusiastically in
their favor, and number of farmers
expressed their intention of utilizing
silage feed as soon as their herds are
built up to the required size to make
it profitable A committee was ap-
pointed to get prices on silos and ma
terials from the various companies
offering these for sale and it is prob
able that at least three silos will be
built this year.

INTERESTING COMPLAINT FROM

DISTRICT COURT

An important case was filed today
in the district court by the Canadian
Mortgage Investment company against
N. Williamson. The plaintiff is cor
poration organized under the laws
of Ontario and doing business at Tor
cntO.
From the complaint it appears that
some years ago the defendant bought
certain tracts near the town of High
River in Alberta. At the time of the
purchase there were mortgages on
the two tracts. Under the laws or
Alberta, where the Torren's system
prevails, a purchaser of any tract as
sumes all mortgages and liens on the
tract He does this by virtue of the
law
The mortgages were foreclosed leay-
ing a balance of over $4,000 due. The
present suit is to cover. this amount.
The complaint is 80 pages long and
appears very complete.
Under the English law many Oh the
documents begin as follows:

Saving and Personal Efficiency, (PFepared by Savings Division. U. s.
 TFsasury.)

EfcIency-that is, the ability to do ones job, has been hit upon by a British investigator as supplying the most prac- tical answer to the question. When and where should I begin to save,-whether money. food, time, or what not?" This Is equally practical for the people Of the United States.
 This investigator finds that saving should begin as soon as the point of efficiency has been reached. Ina things to do without are those that do not di- rectIy promote eficiency-that in them selves cost much and profit little"
 This standard becomes more strikingIy practical when we realize that eficienc cy is both mental and physical We must be able to think, or to use our muscles effectively, in our work as the case may be. Happiness, proper rest, normal rec reatiou, as well as food or shelter, all have their part in making up efficiency. The point then is to continue to spend as long a spending makes for efficiency, and to cease when it no longer contributes to personal or family ability.
 The British specialist points out that waste is possible in the very process of attaining efficiency and warns the pubHS not to make efficiency 6. blind idol or an excuse for excess or extravaganza. Put ting excess into War Savings Stamps is a practical American method of maintain ing efficiency, both physical and financial
