GRAIN CROP IS
 HAMMERED SOME
 BY LONG RAINS
RAINS SET BACK SOME CROPS NO REAL INJURY DONE THE WHEAT CROP IS AS STRFD- POTATOES ALSO DOING WELL.

Superintendent Snodgrass. of the government experimental farm. was in town yesterday afternoon for q few hours. and stated that the grain crops al the station were in practical Iy the same state of development as similar crops were at this time last season. That they are not further along toward maturity he said, is due to the cold spell experienced just after planting early in the season and to a certain extent to continued rains.
 The latter. however. h said. have done no real injury to the crops Everything is looking fine, there is a good stand of every grain and the heads of both wheat and oats are fill ing out nicely The wheat crop. he added is assured already Ten days of good hot weather with plenty of sunshine he said. would do worlds of good and bring all crops out in great shape.
 Speaking of the potato crop, he said that it also was in practically the same stage as if was at this time last season. The gard'ns in town, accord ing to Mir Snodgrass, show on an average that potatoes are further along than on the farms out of town Al the government farm the plants aye all budded but no blooms have appeared. and it will probably be an other week before these show up. He believes that a good yield of spuds is certain Taken as a whole all the crops are doing nicely and the farmers are not worrying any over the rains not for the present, at any rate.

FAIRBANKS BOY
 IN BERLIN; NOT
 STAYING THERE
LIEUTENANT J. c. COLEMAN FIRST FAIRBANKSAN TO REACH MAIN OBJECTIVE FINDS THAT THE GERMAN CAPITAL lS MUCH OPERATED.

From Fairbanks to Berlin is some distance, but that is the jaunt which Lieut. J. c. Coleman has covered since his departure from this town on July r, 1917. In short letter re ceiyed here yesterday Lieut.. Coleman says he has finally reached his malr objective, but owing to the high cos' of living he will probably turn his face homeward in a short time, if 1T fact he has not done so er@ this.
 He was formerly a member of the local signal corps detachment, hold ing down the cashiers job for severa years. At the outbreak of hostilities he applied for commission and was commissioned as lieutenant. He was sent to an officers training school IT California, and after thnoe months intensive training went to CamE Upton, where he trained raw troops for several months. After few months of this he was sent to Platts burg and from there to Fran02.
 He got across in time to get into the fighting, and after the armistice was signed was assigned to division in the American army of occupation In his letter he stated that he would probably remain in Germany until the peace was signed, and then return to the United States for discharge. While in Berlin he was billeted in the Hotel Odlon, on Berlin's most famous street, Unter Den Linden.
 scHMANkE IN FRANCE.
 Another former signal corps man of Fairbanks was also heard from yes terday. This was It. F. c. Schmanke, formerly a sergeant, and before It. Coleman a cashier in the local tele- graph office. He served in France turnout the war as a master signal ebtctrician, getting rhis commisSion as second lieutenant last May.

The legislature adjourned last
Thursday for q recess until Tuesday.
and many of them took advantage of
the opportunity to 60 home and con-
suit their constituents upon some of
the measures that have been prsented.
Only a few unimportant bills have
yet been passed. Perhaps the most
important one is the adoption of the
new revised code which is said to be
much simplifed, and put into lam
guage that layman can understand.
If this is true perhaps some Of the
lawyers can. understand it. The most
perplexlng question before the mem

by the voters at the last election.

MIR. F. A. Morgan, of TyndalI,
chairman of the county committee on
War Savings Stamps. gives thu fol-
lowing information regarding the sale
in Bon Homme county: The allotment
for the county was 1926, 500. The
total casb sales up to December 81,
1915, were $252, sol 35. thus put
ting the county well over the top. No
exact record is available as to the
stamps redeemed during that time,
but the amount is about $1,000. so
that the cash turned in to the govern
ment is not less than $3.50. OOO, and
Bon Homme county still holds stamps,
cost value Of $3.50, 600. face value
$500, 900. We are the third county
in the state, Edmunds and Douglas
both having done better. In the re-
port of the state director this county
was placed as. ..5th,- but he had failed
to give credit for SIS, 600 which he
has now corrected, and we stand third
in the list Of counties.

The food department suggests tha,

The food department suggests that
it would be good policy for the far
mers to reduce their acreage of spring
wheat this year. In order to encour-
age the planting of a large acreage
during the war the government guar
anteed price equivalent to about So
a bushel to the farmers for two years,
which will include the crop of 1918.
With the close of the war and conse-
quent opening of the markets of Aus
tralia aud Argentine the worlds mar
ket will not warrant the payment Of
this price. The government will of
course live up to it's guarantee, but
will doubtless do go at loss In the
aggregate the consumer will probably
pay no more than he would have paid
had the government not fixed the
price, as it is very evident that the
farmer would have realized at least So
per bushel for his 1913 crop had eno
limit been fixed: Thus the loss which
the farmer stood on his 1913 crop
will be made UP to him on his 1919
crop through the guarantee. Con-
tracts had been made with England
and France to take large portion of
the 1919 crop at prices that would
have let this government out on its
guarantee, but these contracts have
now been cancelled, 30 whatever loss
there is will fall upon our govern
ment.

The principal speakerat the meeting

that the government is doing in aid
ing in the construction Of highways,
and the requirements in order to Sc
cure this aid. He said that of the
269 highways that have made appIi-
cation. only 49 have been recognized
by the National Highway Association.
Two OF the requirements are that a
road must be at least 500 miles in
length, and it must maintain an ac
tive organisation. The original plan

to log ,ts road and later it will be

1t is estimated that a fund of
So. 500 will be needed this year to fl
nance the undertaking, and this will
be apportioned among the Al towns

4. Our foreign office made secret

that they had traded with the allies

Senator Kleinsasser of Hutchinson
county contributed letter which was
publiehed in the Hutchinson Herald
and ALEC in the Trip Ledger last
week. He refers to the governors
message, and says "We had to sit
rather low when the governor dwelt
upon the educational topic. He in
cludes lengthy quotation from the
message, and says he did not know
that his county had such a standing,
and says If such condition exists
and can be remed;ed why not do it.
Following are few of the points re.
ferred to by the governor in his mes
sage, The per capita apportionment
of the income from the state school
fund in 1913 was $6.72 for each
child of school age. The average
amount raised by taxation for each
pupil in the various counties was
$25. AZ. based upon the number Of
children Of school age. Aside from
the counties with Indian population,
where schools are maintained by the
government without local taxation,
Hutchinson county contributes the
least for rural school support of any
county in the state, raising only
$l1!47, while some districts levied
no school tax whatever, but simply
spent the amount of state apportion-
ment...- The average levy for rural
school purposes is 7.43 mills, while
Hutchinson county only raised IL
mills. and Mcpherson, the next low
est county, only raised 1.8 mills.
These two counties are also the low
est counties as to percentage of. child
ren of school age enrolled in school
but what is even worse the average
daily attendance is low even when
compared to the enrolment, being
less than SO per cent of the school
census. Commenting on these figures
the governor says:
"The Anti-American spirit shown
in German communities such as con-
stitute large part of Hutchinson
county is more due to lack of educa-
tion than anything else. If the child
ren growing up learn our language
and our history, they will better un-
derstand the ideals of our country,
and if another conflict comes on, thev
will not take sides with the enemy.
1t is better to instill patriotism into
the hearts of the young people by
proper education than to be obliged
in troublous times to resort to op-
pressive measures against the use of
a foreign language.
1t must be borne in mind that
there are many patriotic people in
Hutchinson county. The number of
those who are sending their children
to school, even to higher institutions
