dows representing the Nativity. The
| light shining through from the outside
brings out every detail of coloring and
shading in the glass. and while the
church Is in semi darkness produces a
most wonderful effect. The scene of
the Holy Child and virgin mother, the
humble cattle shed, the star Of Beth
lehem and the angelic hosts Of heaven
the shepherds and the wise men. tells
a story more beautiful than words can

IN the far corner tower of the cathe-
dral will sing softly many of the old
English Christmas carols.

Extension Department KILL Enough
Grasshoppers to Pay IT. Expense

Grasshopper killing in Lewis county
last summer saved crops worth SS27,-
OF; the whole expenditure OF the uni
versity extension division FOR the year
was only S2s5.12s.2s; the total appro-
priation OF state money for the extern
sion division for the biennium was
100000. This comparison was made
at the offices Of the University Of
Idaho extension division Saturday. to
show that enough had been saved by
the killing of grasshoppers in one
county to more than pay for the years
extension work in the entire state. s
"A total of BITS pounds Of white
arsenic, 500 pounds of Paris green,
1900 dozen lemons. 1900 gallons OF mol
asses and about $4,000 pounds of bran
were used in this campaign" says a
report on the Lewis county grasshop-
per campaign, from County Agent A.
Il. Wade. The cost of materials was
about $4,000, and It is estimated that
the labor of mixing and applying the
poison would be about the same, max
ing total cost Of about $4,000.
THE number OF acres actually de-
stroyed in the county was S32 and to-
tai acreage treated 6752 and when II
is taken into consideration that the
area treated was little more than the
actual area upon which the 'hopperf
were Matching by millions. one can
form some sort OF an idea of the num-
her of hoppers that were poisoned in
this campaign.
On one farm where q count was
made, over 900 dead grasshoppers were
found in space the size Of mans hat
THE saving of crops, figuring or
the basis of reports received from A
farmers who used about 12L per cen,
of the total amount of poison sold fol-
this purpose, was $3S9,027. Subtract
ing the expense of materials and work
leaves net saving on crops Of about
$s27.027.
From the quantity Of grasshoppei
eggs laid during the fall of 1918 It wal
apparent that there would be large
number of hoppers to fight during
1919. Consequently at winter meetings
the matter was discussed and orders
were taken for poison by the commu-
nifty committeeman in pest control.

the county agent II demonstrations
were needed In the community In the
mixing OF poison bait.
Arrangements were also made with
the druggists to furnish arsenic and

the same basis. Inquiry also was
made to ascertain II there was suffi-
cient bran on hand to meet the emer-

Thirteen mixing demonstrat ions

ties in the following month. Pressure
also was brought to bear on anyone
reported A. having grasshoppers and
not poisoning them, by having the
neighbors all call him up individual
ly and draw his attention to the mat
ter. This method worked out admir-
ably in the few cases reported. In
fact, from ~ reports sent in by farm
ers An the infested districts, only two
reported that the neighbors did not
cooperate In the work, eight report
ed that some did not, and 80 reported
the neighbors all cooperating.

TT is considered that the fight
against grasshoppers in Lewis county
is practically over as what few hop
pers were left in the county and those
that migrated here from Idaho county
late in the summer were infested with
maggots from flies that deposit their
eggs or their living young upon the
hoppers. These maggots eat their way
! into the body Of the hopper and there
grow to maturity, causing the death OF
the hopper, after which they make
their way into the ground, where they
complete their life cycle and emerge
as mature flies, ready to infest more
] hoppers."

Late Friday afternoon the directors

upon the temporary receiver for a
statement Of the condition of the bank

consultation with Assistant Attorney
General Sheets, who is aiding the re-
ceivcr in the banks affairs, and at the
conclusion Of it asked what they
wanted the statement for.
He was told that the directors
wanted to know the true condition of
the bank for their own guidance. A.
ter waiting for an hour and a half the
directors were finally given the state
ment, but not until they had promised
not to publish the figures contained
therein.
While refusing to give the state
ment to the public, the directors de-
clared that the statement showed that
the banks reserve greatly exceeded
the legal requirements on each of
those days, even on the day the in
stitution was closed by the attorney
general.

SHERIDAN FARM
ERS SHOULD
HOLD FLAX

How to insure the retention Of all
good flax seed that is threshed this
planting in Montana next spring, is
fall in Sheridan and Roosevelt coun-
ties, in order that it may be kept
from the crushers and saved for
a problem that is due to receive the
attention Of the Sheridan County
Farm Bureau and of individual farm
ers right now.
Montana is away short of the sup
ply Of flax seed that will be called
for next spring, in view of the prob
able heavy planting of flax for the
1920 harvest, says E. w. Anderson,
county agent. Practically all of the
flax suitable for seding in 1920 that
is now within the state is from the
current harvest in Sheridan AM!
Roosevelt counties. No matter if ev-
cry pound of good flax is saved for
sed, there will have to be heavy inn
rortations from outside the state.
arrange for the construction of two
special storage bins in northeastern
Montana where seed flax can be held.
These bins will be in connection with
licensed elevators, which will make
it practical for farmers to store their
fax for sed, and use the storage GER
tificatcs as collateral. This will pro-
vide a way out for many farmers
who might otherwise have to turn
their flax into cash this winter, re-
CARELESS of whether it goes to crush
tr or into the hands of someone who
will hold it for seed.
Farmers with flax that is suitable
for seed should communicate the fact
as soon as possible to f. w. Ander-
son, county agent, Plentywood, Mon
tara.

CLAIMS COURT HOUSE OFF,
GALS DID NOT USE COURTESY

The following letter received last
fall at which time Jim Redmond was
county auditor and Rex Movious, the
present holder Of the county treasur-
er's office, held the latter position,
was discovered in looking over our
files and we herewith reproduce it, 4
second letter from the subscribed
gentleman having called our attention
to the oversight:
Permit me to say in your columns
that I am much astonished at the lack
OF civility and courtesy shown by
some OF the chair warmers in the
court house of Sheridan county. On
the Goth of last November, | sent a
draft to Rex NJ. Movius to pay my
taxes, amounting to $1,000 and af-
ter waiting for nearly month for my
tax receipt | wrote to him at three
different times enclosing envelope
with a Sc stamp asking him in il
humble way if he had received my
draft and if he had applied the money
on my taxes and if he wouldn't please
send me my tax receipt, but l wa,
unable to get reply from this
worthy, so ! tried my luck with the
county auditor enclosing an envelope
with &c stamp but there was nothing
doing from that quarter either, but
he might have been responsible for
Movious making a move to let me
know he had mailed me a receipt on
or about the 28th of December. Now
when it takes a man % days to fill
out and mail a tax receipt it goes to
show that he is not apt to exceeo
the speed Limit while performing his
official duties even though his name
be movious. But the worst of it is
that I am still looking for that tax
receipt, it has not arrived. I don't
know whether my taxes are paid or
not as l am unable to find out from
these worthless who are in possession
of the tax records and who seem to
have swollen so much in their official
capacity that they feel above extend
ing common courtesy to a non-resi-
dent taxpayer of Sheridan county.

"ONCE A MEMBER, ALWAYS
A MEMBER" NEW SLOGAN
Otto Tehven, recently elected to the
State Board of Directors of the Min
nesota State Union. American So
cicty Of Equity has come out strongly
for a new policy that would do away
with the nuisance of annual dues, and
swell the membership Of the society
to several times its present size. He
advocates the plan Of retaining all
members, in other words, granting
life membership to candidates upon
the payment of the initiation fee, anil
believes this would greatly strengthen
the society.
at does not mean that people are
not good members just because they
happen to let slip the time for paying
their dues, yet under our present
Equity plan we exclude all who are
in arrears for membership from the
benefits Of the society,"" said Mr.. Teh-
ven the other day. He continues:
"Wc want to build a gratr Equity
organization to act as the educational
force in sustaining our Equity bust
ness organizations, but so long as We
annually throw out of the society
large number of people who were once
interested enough to join, we can not
grow. Let US keep our good members,
and give them something to rally to
by welcoming them to our midst.
Annual dues are eXacted from
members as means of financing the
society. A much better way would
be to let the prosperous cooperative
organizations that have sprung from
the American Society of Equity, Sus-
tain the society financially. I know
OF several organizations that would
be glad to do so, including the Farm
crs' Terminal Packing Company, the
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange, the
Wholesale Society, and
others.'

Docks will follow quickly, and the
Triple Alliance-the miners, the dock
workers and the railroad employees
will have England in their grip. For
everything comes to England by ship:
II distributed to English families by
road or rail, and it all requires coal.
This year a threatened strike from
the Triple Alliance brought the gov
ernment to its knees; it was that
threatened strike which started the
coal inquiry. which resulted in the
official condemnation of private own
ership of coal mines. It was the
strike of the Triple Alliance which
persuaded the Tory government to
prepare the bill as a party measure
to nationalize the railroads and also
to go into the business of housing.
1t is estimated that $4,000 families
in England are looking for homes:
these families are crowded in with
other families or, are in unsatisfac-
tory quarters. Hence the housing
problem is facing England, and a
bill has been prepared, with govern

the more they'll want; wants create

whole theory of this revolutionary
movement is that the classes should
rise together.

tunity is provided, and great pains

plan. 1t all fits in, and in England
