DESTROY SPROUTS NOW

4 large number Of harmful barber
riey have been found in South Dakota
and most of them dug up. When the
bushes were large and deep-roOted
many roots were left in the ground.
These roots sprout and soon a new
barberry bush will grow up and be
just as much menace as the original
bush. Everyone who has owned bar
berries must dig them and watch care
fully for sprouts. Destroy the sprouts
and be sure that no other sprouts APP
pear. Now is the time to do it. The
rust will develop on the barberries in
May and June if they are not de-
stroyed. Report any barberries in
your locality that you may know of
to the extension division Of the State
college, Brookings. Information re-
garding the barberries will be sent
upon request. The Japanese barberry
is not a harmful species and should
not be destroyed.

and loss. There are so many ramif-
cations in the average farm business,
and so many vague values to be deter
mined, that farm bookkeeping pre-
sents difficulties which the farmer
himself has been slow to overcome.
But the scientists have devised simple
systems of farm accounts and the
agents have introduced them. and
have helped many farmers to analyze
their business, and thus detect losses
which they were enabled to change
to profits.
Marketing, purchasing and co-opera-
tive associations We're organized by the
agents, and through these organiza-
tions the farmers of the northern and
western states We're saved total of
$1,000 GOO. Seven thousand local asSO.
Citations of various interests were or
ganized with a total membership OF
over $1,000 persons.
During the war labor committees Of
the farm bureaus were organized to
supply help to the farms. Those have
been retained in most cases, and
nearly 10000 laborers were sent out
to farmers in 1919.
One might imagine that the county
agents had spent a busy year with
these items, but they found time to
make 510,243 farm calls and were at
home to inquirers in their office one
day each week. More than 1,412OOO
people took advantake Of this service
during the year.

Today's Talk
THE RIGHT THING
BY George Matthew Adams

The right thing is what you feel Is
right-not necessarily what you are
told is right.
The free man is he who has learned
to look a fact or circumstance square
1y in the face, and then to make his
own opinion.
This opinion may be in direct op-
position to what a thousand about him
say is right-but if he honestly feels
that his own decision bitches with
his conscience and his heart, then to
him the rightest thing in the world is
for him to stick to his belief.
There is a difference, however, if
this opinion effects the happiness of
others. Then it is that the larger
good" opens it's door. And a man
should not hesitate at such time or
place.
But in matters of personal ruler
ship, the right thing is that which is
born in a mans own consciousness
not in the feeling of some contem-
porary, or associate, or sponsor.
The right thing to you is most
precious inheritance. Let no man rob
you Of it!
For it cannot be learned-it has to
be felt, rising naturally out OF your
heart as does the spring from the
deep nest of the rocky mountain.
ITO thine own self be true'-and
what the author Of this famous say
ing meant, was that man should not
borrow what he already had, but that
he should defend his own better self
as he would the body Of one dearly
loved.
Stick to the thing you believe to be
right.
And don't wabble or mind the
babble of voices that so often gather
in your front yard, seeking to draw
YOU from the place in which you live
that they may themselves take posses
sion of the kingdom Of your soul
The right thing is the best thing
for you!

A specific military purpose prompted the
army to send the airplanes their long flight to
Nome and return. The officers in command of
the aerial expedition are to map out a route that
could be used, if occasion demanded it, for the
movement of army air service units to Asia.
A scientific purpose also will be served by the
flight Regions of Alaska, hitherto inaccessible
to the map maker, will be charted and data col
lected for the topographer and student of wealth.
err conditions
There is a vast difference between expe-
dition bent obtaining scientific data for prac-
teal purposes and flights, involving hardship
and death, that are undertaken for the sole pur-
pose of entertaining blase crowds DESTROYS of re-
ceiving thrill
Stunts involving the transfer of an aviator
from one airplane to another when hundreds of
feet above the earth do not contribute facts and
figures that can be used to make flying more
safe or to improve the mechanical features of
the machines.
Foohardy exhibitions by stunt flyers will
not help the flying industry. The development
of flying as industry engaged in the transporta-
ton of passengers and freight will follow careful
study of problems of mechanical construction and
air navigation. The stunt flyer does not help in
this development.
The potential value of aviation as an industry
is we'll recognized. The extension of the air mail
service, the limited transportation of commod-
tiles by air routes and the of flying ma
chimes to make quick trips show that the indus
try is on the threshold of marvellous develop
ment.
If the expedition into Alaska obtains the data
sought for, it is not at all improbable that gold
and furs, whose bulk is small in comparison with
their intrinsic value, may be brought from the
outposts of civilization to industrial centers
within short time.
Many sections of the United States, rich in
resources and potential wealth, remain undevel-
oped because transportation facilities are barred
by the natural barriers of mountains and des-
erts by climatic conditions that permit access
only during few weeks. The ai1pane would
overcome these handicaps and be the means of
increasing the national wealth by many thou
sands of dollars.
Any effort that is made by the government
to develop the industry of aviation along these
lines should be warmly welcomed Money spent
for such purposes is a legitimate promotion ex-
pense.

The Blue Sky Law

Although the blue sky law enacted by the
special legislature provides restrictions concern
ing the sale of securities in Indiana this will not
pay dividends.
Concerns dealing in securities must comply
with the law before they operate in Indiana.
Compliance with the law, however, does not in
clude guarantee from the state that the secur-
ity will produce returns.
The public may have concluded that the pres
ence of this law on the books would prevent the
sale of worthless securities. Shrewd promoters
of stock selling ventures may be able to circun-
vent the statute in many ways.
Persons who are on the Sucker lists" may
receive literature through the mails that will in
duce them to part with their money. State con-
troll will undoubtedly check many dishonest en-
deavors of shrewd men to exchange stock GER
tificates for Liberty bonds or money but over
lures to fleece individuals with "get rich quick
schemes will not be eliminated.
1t is easy to arouse the cupdity of some per-
sons with tales of doubling your money. The
blue sky salesman will not quit cold because a
law throws obstacles in his way. He will tax his
ingenuity to devise means to get the money de-
spite the law that tries to protect the ignorant
investor
If you are in doubt about promotion scheme
sky law has frightened every worthless stock
salesman out of Indiana. He is with us and can
not be expelled until we have forsaken entirely
our belief in being able to get something for
nothing.

districts where the Nonpartisan
league has a stronghold it will be
worse than useless. The Townley
crowd do not intend to allow their
followers to investigate the facts as
to this issue, and the league news
papers are filled with misrepresenta-
tions which would be humorous to
well-informed folks if not really
tragical in their influence.
In view of the rather mixed situa-
ton do not expect any of the candi
dates now seriously mentioned for
the regular Republican nomination
to come out against the tonnage tax.
1t is much more likely that an effort
will be made to straddle the issue by
coming out for ga" tonnage tax, but
failing to designate just what sort of
measure will meet with approval.
This in order to placate the North
ern Minnesota vote, but, of course,
is mere subterfuge and no candi-
date who is not open and honest as to
this question can hope to get very far.
The only man whose position is
against this tax is Governor j. A. A..
Burnquist, and many are of the
opinion that he may seek third
term by using this as his main issue.
1t is pointed out in this connection
that the governor could poll large
vote in some of the old standpat Re-
publican territory in Southern Min
nesota no matter what his attitude
on the tonnage tax, and this, together
with the support of the iron range
country and scattering aid elsewhere,
might well make him a winner in a
broken field. So far no intimation
has come from the governor as to
what he intends to do, but it is said
that he told Secretary of State
Schmahl some time ago that he would
not file for governor. But there has
been lot of Burnquist talk recently,
and / would not be at all surprised
to see the governor in the race
again.

With the party lines not so sharply drawn as
once they were, it is barely possible that Pres
dent may be chosen who is a composite of both
the two old parties One who has absorbed the
better ideas of the two and has amagamated
them into one good one. There is a lot of good
timber of this kind in the woods and it is now
day by day coming into the open. What we
need now that the war is over is good, sound
business manager at the head of the country
One who can handle Big Business and guide it
into the right channels whereby prosperity for
all may follow. We certainly need Moses
to guide us out of this tangle of things we are
now experiencing President Wilson is no
doubt out of it. Giving him credit for what he
has done he has perhaps done as we'll as he
could under the circumstances. But the Pres
ldent is not the man to handle the big prob
lens of today. He might at that make good
peace time President when all is running
smoothly. But he is of too light weight for
the big things now confronting us. Hoover. so
far seems the logical man. He is not military
or is he small" by any means; but has shown
during the war that he is able to cope with the
big things which are now concerning us all.
General Wood is military man, with good
head on him. all business, and cuts across lots
to arrive at what he wants, regardless of the
color of the tape he cuts as he jaywalks. Taft.
is big light weight. Hale fellow well met.
but he lacks the punch needed to set America
on its feet in big, business way. But it seems
that the demand today is for business Pres
ident. No schoomaster need apply or anyone
unless he has remedy up his sleeve for all
this mighty unrest.
