Editor Smith,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Under the heading tucson News" j."
dated May 81, 1913, I noticed that
your Tucson reporter, Rev. s. E. New
ell, devoted the entire space allotted
to our city to comments upon the
local Paul Lawrence Dunbar school,
making the beloved and highly es-
teemed principal, Professor Cicero C.
Simmons the chief object of his at.
tack.
Don't give any weight to the pro-
noun "We", which he uses, as it only
stands for very negligible number
of Tucson citizens.
For example, the leaders of the
1--WE" party to which he refers con-
sisted of man who is very bitter
toward our principal, because Profes-
sor Simmons, for reasons known to
himself, would not recommend a Ger.
tain party for his assistant in our
schools, which we think he was wise
in doing.
Another man in it is a man that
has borrowed money from Professor
Simomns more than once and because
he cannot get money as easy as he
used to, he Joined the disgruntled few.
And Rev. Newell, (the man whom
Professor Simmons has helped many
times financially and otherwise. in ad-
dition to feeding him, wrote Bishop
H. B. Parks and Grand Masters Har-
ris and Winn of California and Texas,
respectively, in Rev. Newelps behalf
when Rev. Newell most needed a
friend) is angry with our Professor
Simmons, we think. because Mount
Calvary Baptist church of Tucson de.
cided that it did not need his services
as its pastor. Hence, on the 9th of
April, it paid him $211O0 and bade
Rev. Newell Gods speed, and secured
our principal as its supply pastor, who,
by his spiritual devotion. education
and affableness has ingratiated him
self in the hearts of the Baptist flock
as well as the entire community. 1t
must be remembered that Professor
Simmons has not LEFT his Methodist
church, but because he has lived such
q spotless life and because of broad
minded and liberal views toward all
the churches of Tucson, that the local
Baptist church broke its custom by
calling temporarily our eminent prin-
cipal to lead them. Isn't that fine?
Professor Simmons was elected first
Master of our local Masonic Lodge
and twice elected Worthy Patron of
our Eastern Star Chapter, which posi-

The Montana State Agricultural
College reports $4,000 pounds of
rodent poison bait sold in one order
during the month of March. The col
lege has erected special building
where the gopher poison bait is mixed
and sold at cost, which is 15 cents per
quart. In places where the is no coun-
ty agent, the orders are being handled
through local cooperating farmers.

find an excellent demonstration of the
control of smut.
During the last few months, con.
siderable interest has been manifested
in the inoculation of various legumes.
Likewise considerable interest has
been manifested in the planting of le-
gumes with cotton and other crops.
Claims have been made the such Ie-
gume paintings, particularly if these
legumes are inoculated, results in ma
terially increased yields of the accom-
panying crop or companion crop. We
do not at the present time have defn-
lite results to offer you covering this
subject. however we have on the farm
a considerable number of experiments
in which legumes have been planted
with cotton and with other crops In
some cases legumes were inoculated
and in some other cases they we're not
inoculated.
Gas direct comparison cotton has
been planted with the same spacing
that is given when planting with le-
gumes, but the legumes have been
omitted, This test is intended to
prove whether or not the Increased
yield claimed from the legume plant
ing is not due. at least in part, to the
increased space and light given the
cotton.
"Of late considerable interest has
been manifested in fertilizing cotton.
You will find on this farm at the pres
ent time ten acres of ground devoted
to rather complete fertilizing test.
In this test cotton without ferilizing Is
compared with cotton that has been
fertilized with ordinary barn yard ma
nure at various rates and with cotton
that has been fertilized with acid phos-
phate, with nitrate of soda, with cotton
seed meal, with complete commercial
fertilizer, and with various combina-
tions of these fertilizers. These plots
are not far enough advanced today to
show great deal, but your inspection
of the plots is invited.
These are not the only lines of
work in which this farm is interested.
Time does not permit a detailed dis
cussion of many of the experiments.
1t is sufficient, perhaps, to say that
carefully planned work is under way
to determine the value Of green ma
nure, ON the land itself, and on the
crops that follow the application of
green manure. Experiments are under
way to determine the relative yield of
wheat on the ground that is cropped
continually to wheat compared to
wheat in two and three year rotations
and compared to wheat that is treated
to both barnyard manure and fertilizer.
Experiments are under way to deter
mine the best dates 70 planting cotton
and the best spacings for thinning cor
ton. Likewise, experiments are under
way to determine the best methods of
irrigating cotton.
"a silage feeding test was conducted
this last winter comparing the value
of silage compared with certain other
feeds for ewes at lambing time.
Last summer this farm constructed
the first metal lath cement plastered
silo in the state and we hope you will
examine this silo today.
1.-THE Experiment farm belongs to
you farmers and citizens Of this state.
We want to solve the problems that
you want solved. We will thank you
always for constructive criticism and
for suggestions of work that you would
like to have us undertake. We ask your
cooperation and we invite you to visit
the farm at any time"

Professor Simmons recommended
last week to the school superintendent
very comprehensive program for the
improvement of the Paul Lawrence
Dunbar school. For example, he asked
for sanitary drinking fountains: more
manual training facilities; leveling of
the school grounds; good fence or
concrete coping around the school
house; shrubbery; one dozen trees;
giant strides and all kinds of athletic
apparatus.
Professor Simmons is progressive.
This is shown in the fact that al.
though he can produce five different
diploma certificates, he contemplates
taking a sumemr course in one of the
great Universities of America.
Professor Simmons stands high not
only with the white townsmen of Tue

the faculty of the University Of Ari-

INCREASE THE EFFORTS

T1 HE war showed what the national strength
could accomplish in the swift construction
of rapid transit highways and the use
thereon of rapid-transt vehicles. The nation
trained its engineer corps and sent them to Eur
ope equipped for the quick construction of roads
The part which the United States took in the de-
cisive campaign was rendered possible by the use
of automobiles and motortrucks over rapid-tran-
sit highways.
aNow that the war is over the question arises,
are not highways as vitality important for the
conduct of peace as they were for the conduct OF
war? With half the world going to bed hungry
every night and millions doomed to starvation, is
not the swift construction of the highway to the
acre that produces as urgent necessity as were
the roads in the battle zone? And if the need is
as urgent, should the nation sacken it's effort or
permit its road-building equipment to be sold or
dissipated? Should it not rather increase its eff
forts in this direction and proceed with the con-
struction of highways at home on scale COM
mensurate with the Importance and urgency OF
the need?" Senator Bankhead.

Tvs human nature that makes the nations, and
so long as human nature exists the land that
sleeps with loaded pistol under its pillow, IN
the shape of an army. and bulldog roaming m

that land will be the safest from depredations.
s'When people speak of taking the erring broth
er back into the fold, rise to proclaim that Ger
many is no kin of mine! And am for platform
of Christianity that declares no food for Germany
while a single Belgian or French baby remains
hungry.
$50 long as we have land to love, flag to de-
fend, never should we let our country lapse back
into it's former state-that of great, fat, over
fed, flabby oyster without shell on it! An ade-
quate army, an adequate navy, law calling for
compulsory military training for every male clti-
zen of the United States-that is the cure FOX war!

that wartime savings increased fastest where saw
ings accounts had been least cultivated before.
In the Southern States saving deposits in 1914
were only eighteen dollars and forty-five cents
per capita, against more than two hundred and
forty five dollars in New England, and a hundred
and fifty-seven dollars in Eastern States. But
wartime savings in the South increased forty-flve'
per cent. against twenty in New England. In the
farther Western States-between Middle-West and
Pacific savings deposits thirty-eight dol
lars head in 1914 and somewhat more than
double that in 1913.
After we declared war, when the intensive thrift
campaign was applied to the Southern States they
responded with six dollars a head, against seven
in the Eastern States and eight in New England.
Which seems pretty conclusive evidence that thrift
is virtue that will yield bounteously, and the
more it is cultivated the better the results. Those
increased savings were result of prosperity OF
course; but equally result of better savings
facilities and an aggressive thrife campaign
Saving deposits are no conclusive measure OF
thrift Dakota is more apt to save land improve
ments, buildings and cattle than money in the
bank All the same, money in the bank is
mighty convenient form of savings. By and large
the more of it the better. The war-thrift cam
paign aimed especially at money in hand 1t
brought great results. Keep it up. Saturday Ev-

be well for all the people of this vicinity who have
been interested in this beautiful bit of Gods hand
iwork to remember that the men who now own

due for their share of gratitude. These men
purchased this land for farms, and that they have

poses or from removing the wonderful timber

always been the expectation of the people OF this

OLD MAN WINTER.

The followin bit of rhyme by Larry Ho, W.
brought foricibly to our mind by the bit of res
winter of last week.
Old Man Winter
He blow and he blow,
And he slam at the door
With wad of snow;
He rattle at the window,
And he shake the trees,
And he yank at your nose,
Till it freeze, freeze, freeze.
Old Man Winter
Seem to git mighty crouch,
He just like to pinch you
Till he makes you holler touch"
And he stick piece of ice
Where your foot intend to stand,
And when you take tumble
He laugh to beat the band
Old Man Winter
You can howl and you can roar,
But you can't git in
At my kitchen door;
And just fergit your chills
As my woman gifts the meals
And my appetite goes prancin'
Like mule with forty heels.

WHERE CROSS THE CROWDED WAYS

'Tis only half truth the poet has sung
OF the house by the side of the way;
Our Master had neither a horse nor home,
But he walked with the crowd day by day.
And think when read of the pont's desire,
That a house by the road would be good;
But service is found in it's tenderest form
When we walk with the crowd in the road.
So saw. let me walk with the men in the road
Let me seek out the burdens that crush,
Let me speak kind word of cheer to the weak
Who are falling behind in the rush;
There are wounds to be healed, there are breaks
we must mend.
There's cup Of cold water to give;
And the man in the road by the side of his friend
Is the man who has learned how to live.
Then tell me no more of the house by the road
There is only one place can live;
It's there with the men who are toiling along,
Who are needing the cheer can give.
1t is pleasant to live in the house by the way
And befriend, as the poet has said;
But the Master is bidding us, "Bear We their load,
For your rest waiteth yonder ahead"
could not remain in the house by the road,
And watch as the toilers go on,
Their faces beclouded with pain and with sin,
So burdened, their strength nearly gone
TIL go to their side, I'll speak in good cheer,
I'll help them to carry their load;
And I'll smile at the in the house by the way,
AS I walk with the crowd in the road.
Out there in the road that goes by the house
Where the poet is singing his song,
I'll walk and I'll work midst the heat of the day,
And I'll help falling brothers along.
Too busy to live in the house by the way,
Too happy for such an abode,
And my heart sings the praise to the Master OF ALL
Who is helping me serve in the road

A future Redwood Falls
One of them is a grade school build
ing with broad corridors and stairs, properly
lighted class rooms, and furnishings and fixtures
which are not only comfortable and right but
which appeal also to child's sense of beauty.
Another one is REAL restroom with comfort
able rocking chairs for the tired mother with the
tired baby, sanitary toilet arrangements and a
real, homelike atmosphere with real homelike
woman to keep it so.
Another one is that the streets and sidewalks
shall be brought into closer unity of purpose and
intention so that the water from the shall not
settle placidly on the corners of the other. We
don't know how it is to be remedied but perhaps
after thirty more years of wading through pud-
dies such as some of us swan last week, some
body will take the trouble to work out the reme-
dy.
Another one is monument of some sort to
commemorate the work Redwood County boys did
in the late war. May be this shall be stately
shaft and maybe it shall be something else may
be this will also be the rest room.
Another one is the time when we shall not all

Not so long ago but chat we can remember
it distinctly, we started crusade to get new
flag on the city hall. We got it, too, bgorry! In
the immediate future we are going to start one
to get some of the merchants of the city to keep
their articles of merchandise off the sidewalk at
the entrance to their places of business. We have
done everything we personally, even to calling
at one store several times day and carrying
inside certain articles displayed on the outside.
Now we are going to see what little publicity
will do. No citizen of Redwood Falls has right
to confuse either Main Street Second Street
with Washington Avenue Minneapolis.

Redwood County has learned many things the
past year about Boys and Girls Clubs and she is
destined to learn a whole lot more in the next
few years. The following paragraph from the
Christian Science Monitor may be interesting, not
only to the boys and girls but to their parents who
also need to be educated
"Until quite recently the title "pig club" might
have suggested something in the nature of con-
sumption, rather than production; but such is not
at all the with the pig clubs of Georgia,
started by the school boys in 1914. They raise
pigs, and last year added about 100000 to the
wealth of the State. The clubs are numerous. In
addition many of the schools where the children
come with lunch boxes now keep pig. All told,
in less than five years. the movement has increas-
ed this industry in Georgia by nearly one-third,
has interested a great many younsters in a use
full employment, and has taught them ideas of
thrift and industry that will make them better
citizens when hey grow up"
