AMATEUR PAINTER
CAN Do WORK NEATLY

Many farmers do a good deal of
their own painting, interior and ex-
terror. An amateur painter cannot
avoid getting some paint on the hard
ware, such as locks, hinges, handles,
etc. This gives the finished job a
blotched appearance and partly spoils
the effect of the new coat of paint.
Here is a little trick of the paint
er's trade that will serve the anna
teur painter we'll. Before beginning
to paint the woodwork apply a coat
of vaseline to the hardware; let the
paint dry thoroughly; then wipe the
vaseline off the metal parts and the
paint will come off with it. This in
sures a neat, clean job, of which the
painter may be proud.

OFFICIALS OPPOSE
PROHIBITION LAW
MICHIGAN COUNTY IN OPEN RE-
BELLION AGAINST ENFORCE
MENT OF PROHIBITION.
Rebellion Against Law Enforcement
Led by County Prosecutor When
Federal Enforcement Officers
Seize Raisin Wine.

Chicago.-A rebellion against pro-
hibitiOn" has broken out in Iron
county, Mich, and the county, led by
it's prosecuting attorney, is in "Open
revolt" against federal authority,
Major A. l.. Dalrymple, federal pro-
hibition director for the central states,
notified Washington on Sunday.
Prohibition agents, leading Il party
of Michigan state constables, were
held up February 10 by Iron county
officials and wine they had cOnfis-
Gated was taken from them, according
to wa d brought to Chicago by Leo
j. GlOve of Marquette, supervising
prohibition agent for the upper pen
insula.
Major Dalrymple appealed to Attor-
ney General Palmer, through Assist
ant Prohibition Director Gaylord, to
order warrants issued for the arrest
of the prosecutor, two deputy sheriffs,
two police officers and three residents
of Iron River. mining village.
While Washington was setting the
legal machinery in motion, Dalrymple
issued orders for a company of picked
prohibition agents to gather here pre-
paratOry to starting on an armed ex-
petition, which, he declared, will
'clean up" Iron county.
The attack on Grove and his party
occurred within two miles of the spot
where Captain Marsh of the constab-
ulary was recently shot by boot
logger.
Grove, accompanied by Lieutenant
r. G. Strope and Troopers Master and
Kind of the state constabulary, seized
eleven barrels of wine from Iron
River The wine is said to be held
by John, Peter and Stephen Seal
cucci, wealthy Italians, who own the
packing plant and general store at
Iron River. Grove loaded the liquor
into a sleigh and started to move it
to Caspian. Grove claims the county
officials took the wine from him, re-
turned it to the Italians, and told
them to post an armed guard over it.

v. s. RESERVE BOARD TO USE
FULL POWER TO CONTROL
CREDIT SITUATION.
Course Will Be Adopted to Control
Credits and Restore Normal In
dustriaI Conditions in Course
Of Time.

Observation-Disclosures of this
federal reserve board to exert the full
power of the reserve banking system
in regulating and controlling the
credit situation, course designed to
aid commerce and industry in restOr-
ing pre-war equilibrium, was dis
closed in the boards annual report,
made public February 3D.
The board was prepared to "test
the ability of the system to check eX-
pansiOn and to induce healthy liqui-
datiOn." The board explained it was
aware of the implied power to rectify
the condition which cOnfronts the
country. This power necessarily fol
lowed the authority for and employ
ment of an elastic system of reserve
credit and note issue, it was added.
Recommendations also were made
reserve act which would permit re.
syerve banks to establish normal max
imum lines of credit accommodation
for member banks. An ascending
scale of rates would be provided in
event money was borrowed above the
maximum line. This, the board be-
lieved, would work to the end that
credit expansion on large scale
would be stopped.
Warning was given that the country
must guard against too rapid defla-
ton. 1t was pointed out, however,
that some remedies employed to cor
rect initiation might create even
worse conditions.
''DeflatiOn merely for the sake of
deflatiOn and a speedy return to nor
mall deflation merely for the sake Of
restoring security values and COM
modify prices to their pre-war levels
without regard for other consequences
would be an insensate proceeding"

RUMORS OF MOBILIZATION OF

Reported That Radicals Had Planned
Armed Intervention in Trial
Of Alleged sIayers Of
Service Men.

Tacoma.-A detachment of federal
troops has been ordered to MOntesano,
Wash, where alleged Industrial Work
ers of the World are on trial on muir
der charges arising from the Contra
lila armistice day Staying. A request
that federal troops be sent to Monte
sano, to remain during the remainder
of the trial of alleged l. w. w. men,
bers accused of the Centralia arm
istice day killings. was made by Gov
ernor Hart Prosecuting Attorney Her
man Allen announced ut MOntesano
on Tuesday.
Aliens action was dictated, he said,
by the desire of the state to preserve
the peace and to insure fair trial,
protecting the interests of both the
prosecution and the defense. Since
the trial opened ut Montesano on jan
uary 20, according to Allen, there have
been rumors of trouble, even of armed
Intervention, in behalf of the ten de-
PENDANTS. However, no evidence Of
trouble has yet been noticed.
1--WE have reason to believe that
most of the rumors of impending trOu-
BILE are idle and unfounded," Allen said.
"At the same time it is certain that
no harm can come by taking the pro-
per steps to anticipate and forestall
any possibility of serious friction. If
troops are sent, in response to our re-
quest, their presence in Montesano
will be to protect the interests of the
defense as we'll as the prosecution"

WILSON APPEALS TO
PEOPLE OF EUROPE
IN LATEST NOTE HE ADHEREs
TO PREVIOUS DECISION
ON ADRiATlC QUESTION.
Declares Belief That UnJust Settle
ment Can Only be Provocative Of
Future Wars, and Hopes No
UnwIse Step viii be Taken.

Washington.-Pres Wilson, In
his reply to the British and Frence
premiers on the AdrIatic question, adj
heres to his previous decision that I'M
less the terms Of settlement are re-
turned to the provisions OF the agree
ment OF December 8 he must take
under serious consideration" the with
drwal Of the treaty Of Versailles and
the French alliance from the senate.
The official construction placed on
the presidents answer was that the
government Of the United States
Stands pat"
Probably n better construction Of the
latest note Of the United States than
the official construction, that in It.,
s'the United States stands pat" would
he that In It President Wilson again
attempts to appeal to the peoples of
europe over the heads Of their pre-
miers. The president points out that
the proposed allied settlement Is i'm
moral and contravenes the principles
upon which America entered the war
and has sought to establish world
peace. He declares his belief that un-
just settlement can only be provoca-
tive of future wars and he makes nm
appeal that no stch unwise step be
taken.
1t would appear to be his hope
that public sentiment in Great Britain
and France, even more than his own
persuasion. may lead the British and
French premiers to reverse themselves
and return to the proposals which the
United States will sanction.
The president says In his latest note
with respect to the application Of the
treaty of London to the situation, that
1.-THE American government must hest
tate to speak with assurance, since
1t IL matter In which the French
and British governments can alone
Judge their obligations and determine
their policies"
But the president points out that. In
view Of understandings already
reached, the application Of the treaty
Of London to the situation would only
serve to muddle 1t up by imposing con-
dltions generally admitted to be unwise
and unjust. In concluding his latest
Luie, the president does not withdraw
his threat to recall the peace treaty
II an improper settlement Of the
Fiume controversy Is made, but he does
NOT repeat 1t.

OIL LEASING BILL
SIGNED BY WILSON
VAST AREA OF OIL LANDS TO BE
THROWN OPEN FOR ENTRY
AND DEVELOPMENT.
Western States Expected to Greatly
Benefit a. Result Of Approval Of
Measure Which viii Permit
Development by Leasers.

WashingtOn.-The oil land leasing
bill, which opens for development mil
lions Of acres Of land In the west, was
signed by President Wilson on Febru-
airy rs.
The total area Of oil lands thrown
open for lease under the bill Is esti-
mated by the geological survey at more
than 6,7OO,OOO acres. while proven coal
lands under government withdrawal
total approximately 3O,OOO,OOO acres,
with 39,O0O,OOO acres still to be ylassi-
fled. Phosphate lands are estimated
at 2,7OO,OOO acres with sodium and
other mineral deposits equally AZ ex-
tensive.
California with 1,189,2OO acres of
withdrawn oil and gas lands and Wy
oming with 1851 500 acres, lead the
other states in the extent and rich
ness of their oil deposits. OF the six
additional states containing govern
ment oil lands made available to lease
under the bin, Louisiana, with 407, 900
acres, and Arizona with 23O, 400 acres,
are considered to have the most valu-
able deposits.
The Utah and Montana oil areas are
estimated ut more than 1,OOO,OOO acres
each, but much of this land, govern
ment experts say, comes under the
"doubtfuW classification. Colorado
contains 222,OOO acres and North Da-
kota S4,894. In addition to these oil
resources, vast areas of oil shale lands
in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are
made available for exploitation.
The naval reserve oil lands In Cali
fOrnia and Wyoming are not made
available for public leasing under the
bill unless the president shall so pre-
scribe. Efforts 10 open up this land
were largely responsible for the block

OrOusly opposing the leasing of Oil
deposits 1t holds in those states. The
total area In California is $4,000 acres
and that in Wyoming 10000 acres.
A very slight portion of the naval
oil reserves had been drilled before the
land was withdrawn by the government
and under the leasing bill there will be
a REIMBURSEMENT Of the claim Of the
holders Of these wells.
