: In order to stimulate interest on
the part of local bank clerks in the
activity OF the Washington chapter
of the American Institute of Banking.
Edward J. McQuade, recently elected
member of the executive council of
the institute, will direct a letter to
presidents of Washington banks this
week, urging that they appeal to
their clerks to take advantage of the
educational features OF the chapter
Mr.. McQuade. in his letter, will
point out to the heads of local insti-

of the clerks employed in banks are
taking advantage Of the offer of the
chapter that gives them a thorough
grounding in some of the Theoretical

banking and cognate subjects. He
will advise the bank presidents to call
their employees together and explain
to them the courses now being con-

Comment
on Business
By BoERsIANrR.

A prison is not debatabIe theory:
1T is a terrible reality. Conversation
ceases when the Governments hand
is upon an offenders shoulders. The
Government has announced that the
preaching of the coal contract is a
penal offense. The announcement
implies further the prompt punish
ment of anyone directly or indirectly
responsible for an attempt to suspend
the operation of pick and shovel
Since 1914 the Department of Jus
tice in Washington has functioned
in manner TO inspire profound re-
spect. No idle threats are made there.
Where its warnings have not been
needed. acute remorse has ensued.
Beyond and above that, coal con-
sumers are not in a mood to split a
hair In quarters with coal producers
Sentiment favors short shift for all
who may be guilty OF a non-produc-
tive deadlock in the industry.
Therefore. there is every reason to
be confident Of continuation Of
productivity in the coal fields. A
miraculous solution of the strife be-
tween employees and employers is not
necessary.
Here and there. a railroad officer
raises critical objection to certain
provisions of the Cummins bill, whose
validity appeals to studfnts Of the
railway problem.
President Calkins, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul. makes a tell
ing point against the excess earnings
clause of the measure.
'If there IL any excess returns from
the rates which have been named by
and declared reasonable by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, to whom
does this excess money belong?" he
asks.
'If the excess earnings do not be-
long to the railroad earning them. the
shippers and passengers who have
paid the money are entitled to this
return. II the commission has de-
clared such rates reasonable. then
such excess would be illegally COL
lected from the public. The United
States Supreme Court has recently
held that shippers and passengers are
the only ones entitled to the excess
earnings.
81 do not think passengers and
shippers in one part of the country
will be willing to pay money out Of
their pockets TO help make railroad
Improvements in other sections of the
United States. / do not think pas
sengers and shippers in Illinois or
any part of the rich Mississippi VAL
ley, for instance, would be willing to
pay over money which really should
go to them to help build UP lines in
Florida, California, or Maine, or
vice versa.
what the country wants Is a rail-
road bill that will stand legal test,
not one embodying provisions, that
public and carriers must battle over
In court for years"

1T is AS TRUE AS THE GOSPEL
Must Be Community of Interest Be-
tween Town and Country

The Censor desires to commend
thoughtfully the following true and
suggestive article from the Kilbourn
Events: The real meaning of com
munity interests, Mr.. Town Man and
Mr.. Country Man, is pulling together
for the mutual good of everybody.
The greatest mistake you can make
is to draw line between the town and
country and thus make a divided
community. 1t is just this mistake
that led to the collapse of every CO.
operative farm movement that was
ever born. 1t is no more possible
for the farmer and the town to t.r..",,
lines of separation, create embargos,
consider class distinction or opposi-
ton than it would for a family thus
affected to live under the same roof
The natural physical radius of a mark
ct town extends to a point midway
to the next town are merely keeping
house for the country, and the coun-
try Is contributing to the living of the
town. 1t is therefore to the interest
of both to contribute to mutual de-
velopment and prosperity. Nor is
this spirit less important in the affairs
of a town. The village or city that
does not recognize or consider com
munity interests, that does not work
together for the common good is of
no use to itself or the community
around it. As a partner with the tri-
butary country it is a leech; as a rival
and competitor with other towns it is
a joke; as a home it is less desirable
to an ambitious, capable man than
cemetery or an alkali desert.

The Farm Refuses to Standardiz,

Cost of production on the farm is
hard to figure. In the past the de-
partment of agriculture has had some
unhappy results in trying to arrive
at estimates that could stand the test
of analysis. The fact is, of course,
that each farm is pretty much law
unto itself and, as in other industries,
has costs of production that are par
ticularly its own.
Upon the proper procedure for dis
covering the reasonable cost of pro
duction for farm product the sec
rotary Of agriculture has taken the
advice of a committee, and in order
to follow out the committees conclu-
sions now asks congress for 5000, 900
to spend in the next twelve months,
largely upon cost of production, but
also in studying farm labor, the pro-
per organization of a farm, and farm
finance.
All of this should assist in getting
farming upon a business basis.-Na-
tons Business.

HORSE LABOR ON EARMs.
National crOu Improvement seryIes.l


On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April,
May and in August. September and
October The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be
kept during the year to take care OF
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction OF
Thomas Cooper, now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation 1t was found
that when the crops are diversified.
the horse labor is better distributed.
There is less work for the horses In
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm, and there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on the all-grain farm.

Rolshevism IS Anarchv

Anarchism and boishevism are syn
onymOus terms.
The American people do not want to
consort with anarchy and this applies
to all classes Of the American people.
But anarchy is dangerous when it
comes masquerading under a new and
mysterious name that is not generally
understood
The so-called bolsheyism that is to-
day running rampant in Russia is sim
ply the widest kind of anarchy, and
the spirit that creates it is spreading
throughout the world. 1t is found in
what was Austria, in Germany, in the
Balkins, in Italy, in France, in Eng
land, and even in America.
Let us all do what we can TO tear
the Sleeps clothing from this Russian
wolf that is seeking to devour the civ
liization of the world, and whose most
insidious and dangerous propaganda
is its name.

Barley is comparatively free from

smut can be handled with the for

oats. but the loose smut is hard to
eradicate unless the modified hot wa

sacks and submerge in cold water
from seven ts twelve hours. Remove
and drain for one hour. then sub.
merge for five minutes in a barrel or
hot water. held at q constant temper

sown the same day or not later than
the day after treatment, for if you

In the treatment for smut. formal
dehyde is the most desirable as it is
easiest to handle. Smut is not so very
bad in barley this year, which is for
tunate because if you wish to make
a profit on a crop you can put it in af-
ter all other crops are planted, except
corn and potatoes.

MORE BEANS.
tRstIsnai Crop Improvement ssrylcs.I
&c.. A.. TT..I ~

A farmer in Hubbard Co, Mimi
planted twenty acres of beans from
which he received 377 bushels, selling
them in the field for $1,1S5. This is
not the highest record.
The Michigan men and the Colorado
men and, in fact, all states are turning
10 beans with great deal OF success.
There are three main principles to
be observed in the control of weeds.
They are: first, preventing the weeds
from going to seed on the farm; see
ond, preventing the weed seeds being
brought to the farm. and third, in the
case of perennials, starving out the I'M
derground parts by preventing them
from making top growth.
