FLOOR AND WALLS

The choice of floor covering is af-
fccted by so many conditions that 1t is
not easy to lay down any definite
rules as guides. Rugs and carpets
should always be as inconspicuous as
possible. They must blend with the
walls and furnishings or an otherwise
beautiful room will prove unpleasant
to live in. The less pronounced the
floor of the room. the better and more
restful the combined effect.

The said lieutenant ponders and
strokes his downy jaw,
Then calls his trusty sergeant and to
him lays down the law.
The sergeant calls corporal to see
what he can see,
So the corporal gets a private and
that damn private's me.
So you see where run tn is business

So I'll gladly bust this back of mine

and we've eaten our bellies full

RAISING ENCOURAGED

The formation of community poul-
try-breeding associations is being en-
couraged by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture as a part of it's
effort to assist in improving focks
and making poultry raising more at
tractive. Prominent among the ad-
vantages of community interest in
better poultry are concentration Of
buying and selling breeding stock,
and increased skill in poultry man
agement. Already forty-eight poul-
try-breeding associations have been
formed. In Virginia a Barred Ply
mouth Rock association has devel-
oped cooperative selling plan of
a size that requires a manager to
handle the business. Organizations
Of this iknd are not only beneficial
to the members, but by stimulating a
larger output Of high-quality poultry
products they benefit the public as
we'll.

TO WORK OF RODENTS

Lincoln county, Wyo., this year
saved 100000 worth of grass and
grain, it is estimated, as the result
Of campaign against rodent pests
carried on thru the cooperation of
the farm bureau and the biological
survey Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The damage
done by rodents in this county has
been particularly heavy, fully Is per
cent of the feed on the range being
destroyed each year. Two Of the four
farming sections of the county were
organized for the work with SO per
cent of the farmers and ranchers CO.
operating. As a result, IS per cent
of squirrels on the land treated with
poisoned ba4. were killed. The re-
suits were so striking that practic-
ally every farmer in these two Sec
tons is expected to cooperate next
spring. The other two farming Sec
lions have recently been organized,
so that next year all the farming dis
tricts of the county will be waging
war on the rodents. Similar cam
paigns were conducted in four other
Wyoming counties during 1918.

INVESTIGATE QUALITY OF SEED

Nearly 1900 samples of seed
were received for test last year at the
seed-testing laboratory Of the United
States department of agriculture in
Washington, and 11,349 samples at
the five branch laboratories main
tanned in cooperation whit state in
stitutes. All Of these samples were
examined to determine the quality Of
the seed and the presence Of adulter-
ants. The enforcement Of the seed
importation act has served to pre-
vent many shipments of imported
seed, unfit for seeding purposes, from
being distributed in their original
condition. Among these shipments
over $4,000 pounds of red clover
seed were prohibited entry on ac-
count of the presence of weed seeds
and dead seed. Approximately one
half Of this was recleaned in bond
the weed seeds and other refuse re-
moved being destroyed, while the
seed of good quality was allowed to
60 into the seed trade. The other
half of the prohibited red clover ship
ments was rejected because 1t con-
tanned so much dead seed as to be Of
practically no value for seeding pur-
poses. Three shipments, aggregat-
ing enough seed to SOW 10000 acres
at a normal rate of seeding, con-
tanned no seed which could be ex-
pected to grow in the field. Because
of the difficulties of transatlantic
shipment, imports Of almost all kinds
of seed have fallen of, Canada blue
grass from Canada and winter rape
from Japan being the only two items
of imports which have exceeded
those Of the previous year.

DRY AMENDMENT IS
RATIFIED IN IDAHO

BOISE, Ida, Jan. 8.-Idaho, thru
T action of the state senate today rati-
fed the amendment to the federal
constitution seeking to prohibit for
ever the manufacture and sale OF in
toxicating liquors.
The senate concurred with the
house when 1t passed by unanimous
vote house joint resolution No. l in
troduced and championed by Mrs.
Emma Drake of Payette county one
of the two women members of the
lower house.
The vote was unanimous for the
resolution, there being thirty-eight
ayes. Senator Whitcomb, president
protein of the senate was excused
from voting. The resolution came up
under suspension of the rules and a
roll call was taken, placing a record
vote in the journal.
Senator Whitcomb explained that
he did not desire to vote for the re-
solution because that as a lawyer,
and because of his legal training, he
did not believe that an amendment
to the constitution was the right way
to reach and eliminate the evil
sought.
There was introduced in the house
a bill calling for an appropriation OF
$4,000 to meet legislative expenses.
Joint memorial services were held
in the house of representatives by
senators and representatives at which
eloquent tribute was paid to the
memory Of Theodore Roosevelt.

"A Frenchman told me very seri-

Poitiers that it was wrong to give q
waiter tip of more than 10 per cent.
He said, Ten per cent Is proper
more is improper And he was right,
judging from the way American
trade has spoiled many French trades
people. 1t was fun for the Ameri-
cans to disregard small change, and
dismiss ten or twenty centimes with
a grand gesture of impotence. But
it is fact that the longer the soldier
is in France the more he thinks Of
confines. This is partly due to the
way we have encouraged good prices
overe here. / think more of the ten
centime piece (clacker) now than
three months ago l did of a franc.
Ten confines, you know is about
two cents. A frank Is about 8 cents.

all expected to be shipped up to the
front where spending money
wouldn't be needed.
There is one noticeable thing,
Americans are head and shoulders
Adore the average French folks In

big children because we are so large
and so playful in their eyes. They
