is very timely.


Did you read last Saturdays Kan
sas City Post? On the front page, un-
der "Nubbins," there appeared eight
short sentences quoted from the Auto
Biography OF Frederic Douglass, the
great Negro orator and statesman. 1t
should be unnecessary to mention
Douglass as a Negro, but we dare
say many of us read without realizing
the same. We congratulate Mr.. Jen-
l1ins for his broadness as well as good
taste. Douglass was one of the
worlds disciples of Truth. Many of
his sayings are immortal. Along with
the discipleship of Truth, God gave
him always sufficient courage to
speak it. Now inasmuch as some
comment upon the political aspect of
the Negro as growing out of his. mi
grafton north appeared under the men
toned quotations from Douglass, some
of the cynics thought there was some
Interior motive, but we see no reason
why.

Our Gambling Proclivities.

This argument is sometimes offered
in defense of some flourishing dive:
"Well, let it stay open; people don't
have to go there" OF course this ar
gument is untrue; the dense may not
see, though. All dives, from the most
subtly camouflaged to the most open
ly vicious, have their effective bally
hooers in some way.
The most noticeable gambling men,
ace right now is the supposedly most
innocent; it is the carnival hounds
who gulp in the victims money by the
shoyels full. We have had three such
affairs this season in our midst. All
the community from oodles of dollars
with both their old and new-fangled
gambling devices. But you know what
old man Barnum said of the most nu-
merous variety of fish (the suckers).
He said that one of these were born
every minute But judging from the
crowds that register by overt act the
percentage should run about a sucker
second. The fact of the matter is,
that all the whirligigs and various gigs
and saddles are all made by factories
in Chicago, New York and other big
cities. These factories guarantee the
owner big marginal profit because the
devices are built upon a sure-to-win
mathematical and mechanical basis
and they do! If the owner of such is
sure to win, then the chance taking
public is sure to lose. Can you beat
the logic?
One of the most disgusting features
of the whole affair is to note the in
diligence of women in the sure shot
game for the owner. Aside from the
total lack of economy in the act, think
how corrupting this is to the dignity
of womanhood. Stop it, ladies'!

For many years these forests were
worked on what is known as the roy
atty" system. That is to say, each
year the right of Telling was put up
to tender, the would-be purchasers
Offering to fell a minimum number
of stems during the season and paying
for the same at a fixed rate per hun
dred for each class Of bamboo, the
classification being made according to
size. The large bamboo traders of
the Punjab are, however, all more or
less closely connected with one an
other. Many of them are intimately
related, and they made II their bust
ness to insure that there was little or
no competition for the contract. Year
after year they offered the same rates
and the number of stems they agreed
to fell was never more than that for
which they already had an assured
market. They were wOefully lacking
In enterprise. and took no steps to
create a larger market for their prod
uce. In consequence nothing ap-
prOacnlnS the lull poSSioie tuih.out
was ever obtained from these forests
under the royalty system, and while
the more accessible portions were con-
tinually overfelled, the outlying tracts
were hardly ever touched.
Taken Over by Government
It was decided. therefore, that as
soon as the necessary labor and trans
port arrangements could be made. the
department should take over the en-
tire exploitation Of these forests. A
beginning was made in departmental
working during the winter Of 1918,
and the success which has followed
has far more than justified the change
of policy, for during the last three

while the actual net amount now re-
ceived for every hundred hanhooI
is more than double what was previ-
ouSly paid by way of royalty
In tn" Puniab IN" Telling season f.;
bamhooS is Il comparatively Shor:
one. Operations do not commences
much before Octohrr and have 10 ba
completed by the end Of Jauunry, al
though another months work can b1
got in between May l. and June l..
There are thus only five months in the
year in which feelings can be- made,
the reason being that stem; fDiled nc
any other time of the year are very
liable to be attacked by the bamboo
borer. a small insect which eats away
the inside of the stem and renders {
useless for anything. To fell mora
than Il million stems during five
months requires. however, a large
amount of labor. Fortunately. there
is Il fairly large local population in
the neighborhoOd of these forests who,
being for the most part agriculturiSts,
have little 10 do in their fields during
the winter months. When the work
is in full swing a. many as 3oO or 400
men are employed on Telling alone.
How the Bamboo Is Handled.
For Telling primitive form of bill.
hook is used, which is extremely use
full for getting among the crowded
stems at the base of the clump, though
in unSkillful hands Il great deal Of
damage may be done to other shoots
in the Clump. The bambOOS, having
been feIled. are next roughly dressed
of their side shoots and tops, and are
then tied into bundles of five. ten or
twenty. according To size. For the
time being these bundles are thrown
out on the compartment lines, but at
the close of the days work are collect
ed together and carried on the coolies
heads to the forest depOtS. Here those
which are To be manufactured. that is,
fired and Strengthened. are put on one
side while the others which are 10
be marketed green are loaded into
carts and sent off to the sale depot
ut the railhead.
Making up the green bambooS into,
maybe, tent poles or lance slaves is
by far the most interesting part Of
the work in these bamboo forests
The first stage in making up is care
fully to clean off all the knots. This
is usually done by a gang of small
boys armed with sharp ADDE'S. They
soon become clever at this work and
rarely spoil a bamboo by making a
bad shot and damaging the skin. The
poles are then cut To length, according
10 the purpose for which they are re-
Quircd. and handed over To the skilled
wOrkmen, known as kamaSgarS, for
Strengthening. Each pole is now put
through a hot wood fire. This not
only makes it supple, but also gives
| it rich brown color, and by melting
the dirty waxy covering gives it a
clean and highly polished appearance.
After this all curves are removed by
| bending the stem with some force in
an opposite direction. The inStru-
mentS used for this are either IN no
right pole planted in the ground, with
| slanting holes bored through ii 10 take

case in India, where forest officer
hardly ever remains more than five
years in one division. And what is
five years in the life of tree? Eut
with bamboos it is different, for the
shoots attain their full dimensions in
the course of few months and are
ripe for Telling after three years. says

the bamboo one of the most interest

BUSINESS KEEPS

BEAL-BuRRoW DRY GOODS COM PANY HAS BIGGER BUSINESS IN TWENTY DAYS THAN
 JUNE, 1919.

No matter how strong the reports may be concerning the possible reduc- tion in prices, the volume of business continues to grow and prices in most commodities to increase.
 J. T. Beal, president of the Beal- Burrow Dry Goods Company states that it is impossible for a person to become a pessimist in dealing with dry goods. He declares that the more a man, who is inclined to even hope for lower prices, searches through the market for goods, the more he be- comes convinced that ne is barking up the wrong tree.
 MT. Beal received letter Monday morning from one of the largest dis tributors of dry goods in the United States in which he refers to the eff forts of few panicky dealers to can eel their orders. Buyers were easily found for this merchandise because the manufacturers are demanding a much higher price today and the dis tributor informed Mr. Beal that it was bad business to cancel anything now under order. This distributor further stated that those who cancel will be endeavoring to repurchase before fall and that if they are able to secure the same merchandise then it will cost considerable more money
 The Beal-Burrow Dry Goods Com pany has done remarkable business this year and the sales for June at the end of last week were greater than the sales of the entire month of June in 1919. MT. Beal is very opti- mistic over the future and believes that business in all lines will continue brisk.

SUPERIOR BUILDERS SUPPLY COMPANY HAS PAINT MIXER TURNING OUT 800 GAL
 LIONS DAILY.

The first run of the paint mixer of the Superior Builders Supply Com pany was made on Monday. Orders for 45O gallons of red barn paint were delivered during the day. The capac- ity of the plant will be increased when the machinery is in full opera tion to 600 gallons day.
 o. o. Green, who is manager of the Paint Department, will continue in charge of the accounting department of the company The offices of the bookkeeper have been moved to the second floor where Mir. Green can look after the paint mixers as well as the accounts of the company.
 Enough orders for red paint have been received to keep the machinery running full time for several weeks. By that time it should be so adjusted that the mixture of the more delicate shades can be commenced. Mixing paint is much more complicated a job than imagined by the man who sits down to keg with some white lead, oil and stick. The mixing is done by large wheels which somewhat re- semble the propellers of a boat, The mixing machinery is not patented, al though it is the product of the me chanical genius, A. M. Cohn, presi- dent of the company Paint mixing machinery is very expensive at the present time. MT Cohn has seen much of it in operation and having an inventive turn decided that he could arrange an apparatus which would do the work as successfully as the high priced patented machinery. He con- sequently spent several hours in the Central Supply Company's warehouses where he picked out shafting, ball bearings, pulleys, wheels, paddles and everything necessary for the installa- ton of the machinery which is now doing successful work.

upon the making of the article which we have to sell presentable and at tractive. Wenatchee, Yakima and Hood River districts have been made famous by an attractive presentation of their apples-neatly branded as an advertisement of the respective towns. This same practice of brand ing is being followed in the potato game in some of the older growing sections. There is no better adyer- tisement for a town or community than branded products. The New Sweden district near Idaho Falls and several large growers near Parma will ship their 1920 crop in branded sacks. This is an experiment so far as Ida ho spud growers are concerned, but the merits of an attractive brand with a reliable producer or organization behind it are well known.

IDAHO BOOSTS
 ITS POTATOES
STATEMENT ISSUED BY AGRIcUL. TURAL BOARD OF THAT STATE MoDESTLY GIVES
 IDAHO FIRST RANK.


 There is TO industry in Idaho which has a more attractive future than potato raising, if caution is taken to keep it on a proper basis. Idaho has for several years past been reckoned as an important factor in the potato markets of our country, and the popu- larity of our superior spuds has been constantly growing until a seeming climax was reached in the season Of 1919 and 1920, when potatoes from the Gem State sold for the highest price on practically every market. It is not new for this state to present to the consuming public a superior product, but, due to slackness in grading, sack ing and loading Of cars, our potatoes have never been fully appreciated un- til the past season, and this is due more particularly to the rigid stand ard which has been established and to the inspection service.
 The tendency is when We are sue
 
 feel that we have reached the goal, but year of diversity and poor prices with keen competition from other important potato centers will soon convince us that we still have muck careful work to do. All pur- chasers are guided by the appearance I, os, 4c,,a aIof 4 is not enough to have our product carefully graded and true to name, but we must hold it up to the public gaze in an attractive and suitable package. It has taken the severe criticism of the buyers whom we must please, through travelling representa- 1 times of our railroads, to make us feel the importance of new, clean sacks tightly sewed so that no pota- toes are visible, and of packing our potatoes as near to uniform weight as possible. We always knew a loose ly-packed sack was mean to handle and now we find that it doesn't sell well-even though the contents are good.
 A further consideration which does not affect the producer so directly is the careful loading of cars so that tFoy will remain throughout their trs-vel in the same positions as when loaded. Many car loaded care lessly at it's point of origin has been cast aside in the eyes of buyers be cause of it's jumbled and generally poor appearance when it reached it's destination, and many car has re ceived the same treatment from the buyer when he has opened the door and seen innumerable sacks split open with their contents scattered over the car.
 Too much emphasis cannot be laiS
