Former Reporter On The Republican
 Is Killed By Band Of Seris Indians

Among those who were associated with the staff of The Republican, though intermittently and irregularly was R. F.. l.. Robinson, who was rather a free lance and a correspondent for tho San Francisco Examiner and east ern papers. Robinson gave himself the title of lieutenant" passing his claim Pointer, though he said that he had been discharged from that institution for insubordination. He had a riotous imagination and he made no effort to control it, but was continually spur ring 1t to higher attitudes.
 Soon after I came to The Repub- Iican I invited Robinson to "sit in one night and left the office. On my return in the morning I found a Gila monster anchored to my chair by a I,eayv twine. There was a story in the paper of the capture of the reptile Robinson had written it. He said that Ina was going down the stairway after midnight and he met it coming up. had heard so much of the deadlinesS oi the monsters, their fatal peculiarly os blowing their breath upon theil vjotims. causing instant death, that

He also arranged with an other free lance to send out, few day after his departure, story that th aboat manned by Lieut.. R. E. L.

Adams ordered the hose restored to the racks and while the fire engine was still puffing and spluttering for more water. he was on the street instituting his campaign for municipal ownership. Before night he had enrolled half the business men along Washington and Center streets

There is not along the Pacific coast a more highly traineC and eff cient pressman than Jack Halloran who has been in charge of The Re publican press room for the last five years. He learned his trade in Phila- delphia, his home town, and he rose so rapidly there that for some years he had charge of the color work of the Saturday Evening Post. After that he was with several papers in both the east and the west. He assisted Mir. Stauffer in the selection of The Re pubican's big Hoe press and he ren- dered valuable assistance to the ereC- tors of the company in installing it. Nothing more need to be said 10 those who know of the intricacies and con tingcncies of printing presses than tC state that within the three years the press has been in operation it's repair bills have been under S25 and no aCci- dent has caused delay in the press

The association of Mir. McMiIlen, the advertising manager of The Republi- can, with the paper has covered a period of four years. He came here from Chicago and was quickly recog- niznd as an authority on advertising campaigns and the preparation of ad- vertising copy. His theory is that un- less an ad is of-value to the advertiser, the patronage of the advertiser can not be of value to The Republican. And it is on that theory that he and the members of his staff proceed. No other advertising manager in Phoenix ever has enjoyed so great a measure of the good will of advertisers as MT. McMillen.

Former East Charleston Pastor Dies
at East Berkshire.

The following is from the current
issue of the Vermont Missionary and
tells of a former well-known Orleans
county pastor.
REV. William r. Price, pastor of
the church in East Berkshire, died
Friday evening, September "a, at the
hospital In st. Adams, where he un-
derwent an operation the Monday
previous.
Mr.. Price was born IN Quebec, Que,
July 20, 1859. His mature years
were spent In secular work and lay
activity IN Christian service. Com
ing to East Charleston in 1911 he la
bored as a Ecentiate for three years
there and at Morgan. He was Or
dained by the Orleans association on
January II, 1914, and became pastor
at West Charleston that year, remain
ing until 1918, when he removed to
East Berkshire.
''In all his pastorates Mr.. Price en-
deared himself, to his people, and
wrought faithfully for the upbuilding
of the church. Large ingatherings at
tended his ministry in West Charles
ton especially. In all his work he
had the faithful cooperation of Mrs.
Price, who survives him. The funer-
al Was AS4Q III LIS PARISH al Last
Berkshire, Sunday, the 26th, at 3 P.
NJ, in charge of Rev. Stanley Cum
mings of st. Adams, and other minis
tiers of the county.
"Mr. Price came into the ministry
at an unusually late age and was an
interesting example of man who not
having had the usual educational
preparation, won his way by the sol
| idity, the balance, the sincerity, and
! the attractiveness of his character.
Moreover, there were an open-mind-
edness anda iberality in point of view
about Mr.. Price which one associated
more readily with men who have had
thorough training for the ministry
His going means a very real vacancy
not only in East Berkshire and Frank
lin county, but in the entire state"

Value of Purebred Bulls

The first cross of purebred bull
on the average dairy herd increased
the income $50 per cow. These fig
ures were secured in the province of
Ontario in a comparison of 140 herds
using grade bulls and 81 using pure
breds. Mr.. Rex. E. Willard, of the
Farm Management department of the
North Dakota Agricultural college in
applying these figures to North Da-
kota, shows that if one farmer with
20 cows using grade bulls received
an income of $3.50, his neighbor
with 20 cows, but who began using
purebred bulls five years ago should
receive $500, or S64o more.

MEASURING PRICES OF HOGS
Form Of Applied Mathematics Used by
Department of Agriculture in
Keeping Records.

Measuring the prices of hog In
bushels of corn, instead of in dollars,
is a form of applied mathematics used
by the United States department of
agriculture in keeping tab on prices
of farm products. Theoretically 100
pounds of live hogs should he worth
about 13 bushels Of corn. The rate
varies. 1t is generally highest in the
corn belt and lowest in New England
the far South, and the far West. Al
the present time the ratio is unusual.
ly narrow-that is, 100 pounds of
hogs is not worth as many bushels of
corn as usual. The department draws
the inference that during the next L.
months hogs will advance more than
corn or corn will decline more than
hogs.

GUARD AGAINST
PLANT ENEMIES
New and Important Safeguards
Now in Effect at All Ports
of United States.
BAN ON DISEASES and BUGS
Regulations Just Issued Supplement
Provisions Which Have Been in
Force for Years-Escape of
Insects Less Likely.

Several important new safeguards
went into effect August ! in all parts
of the United States regarding plants

INTO this country is restricted or pro-
hibited by quarantine or other orders
of the United States department of
agriculture. The new regulations have
Just been issued by the secretary of
agriculture and pertain to the arrival
Of prohibited and restricted plants
carried on vessels arriving at ports
where entry or landing is not intend
ed. The provisions supplement regu-
lationS which have been in force for
several years relating TO entry for i'm
mediate export and entry for immedi-
ate transportation and expectation in
bond of prohibited plants and plant
products. The enforcement of the
quarantineS of the department of agri-
culture at ports of entry has shown
the necessity for more adequate safe
guards with respect to restricted and
prohibited plants or plant products
where entry or landing at port is
not intended. These safeguards have
now been provided. making less like

DESTROY POISON IVY
IN FALL AND SPRING
Exercise Proper Care While
Working on Plants.
For Killing Vines on Fence Posts and
Trees Cut Plant Below Surface ard
Then Saturate Soil With
Strong Salt Brine.

The work Of eradcating poison ivy
or poison sumac may be undertaken
in the late fall or early spring with
the least danger of poisoning. It is
usually possible to find persons who
are not easily poisoned by ivy or SUI
mac who can be employed to remove
the plants. hut with the exercise of
proper care almost anyone may under
take the work without mourning in
jury.
Overalls and heavy gauntletet
gloves should be worn for protection
while engaged in the work. Care
should he taken in handling shoes and
all articles of clothing that have come
in contact with the plants, as the poi
son adhereS to them and may make
them possible source of harm for an
indefinite period.
The parts of the plants above
ground are readily killed by spraying
with strong brine (3 pounds of salt
to gallon Of water). but additional
sprayingS are necessary to kill the
new shoots that arise from the root
stocks. A better method. especially
for killing vines on fence posts and
on trees, Is to cut the poison ivy be-
low the ground and then saturate the
soil around the cut bases of the plants
with salt brine.
Valuable eradication hints, as well
ms much information concerning the
plants and the treatment for their
poison, are contained In Farmers Bull
