CANADA THIsTLEs POISONED.
Patch of Thistles Near Moscow
Sprayed With Sodium Arsenic.

During the first week in August
H. E. Carpenter, who lives about foul
miles north of Moscow on the Viola
road, treated patch of Canada
thistles with a solution of sodium
arsenite to demonstrate the use OF
! this poison as an eradicator of the
thistle. This work was done in CO.
operation with the Farm Bureau and
under the direction of the county
agent as a part of the weed control
project of the Farm Bureau. Mr..
Carpenter and the county agent have
inspected the plots since treatment
and all plants treated are dead above
ground and the roots also seem to be
dead
Plot to be Watched
This is a demonstration of much
value to the farmers of Latah County
and will be watched with interest by
every farmer The real test as to
whether or not this demonstration
is successful will come next spring
when plants begin to grow 1t the
root stocks have been killed, the
plants will not grow again and the
success of this method of treatment
will have been demonstrated.
The poison was used at the rate of
one pound to five gallons of water
and was applied as spray to the
green part of the plant. The plants
had been allowed to grow all season
and were sprayed at the time they
were in bloom. This demonstration
was undertaken on account of the
success of a demonstration conducted
near Boise under the auspices of the
Ada County Farm Bureau during
1919. A report on that demonstra-
ton follows:
Report on Ada County
On August 13, 1919, on the farm
of E F.. Crawford, near Boise, three
plats of three by six feet were spray
ed with three different arsenic solu-
tions. Plat No. was sprayed with
crude arsenic. Plot No. 2 was spray
ed with sodium arsenite. Plat No.
3 was sprayed with white arsenic.
The solutions were mixed in proper
tions of ten ounces of poison to two
and one-haf gallons of water. A
hand sprayer was used. The ground
was saturated to the depth of one
inch.
Three days later the plats were
inspected and all the thistle tops were
dead. Fifteen days after
late of spraying, plats Nos. / and 3
were sending up new shoots, while

Farmer, II Children,

Sunbury. Pa.-With seventeen
children in his family, Delmar
F. Campbell, a farmer in Lower
Augusta township, Northumber-
land county, has money In eight
banks.
He testified to that amazing
fact before Judge Cummings in
defense of suit his wife
brought for an accounting of
farm income during the last
twelve years. He declared I'M
der oath that he paid all the
taxes on the place, clothed and
fed the family and paid for
property improvements. Law
yers say the bank deposits total
more than $4,000.
The Campbells have been mar
ried more than thirty years. For
several years they have lived
in the same house and eaten at
the same table, but do not speak.
Husband and wife have each
employed high-priced lawyers,
and, inasmuch as both sides will
have to take their expenses out
of the family fund, no matter
who wins, both must lose, one

Townley's Nonpartisan League may
capture the state government OF
Minnesota this fall. The league is
closely tied up with the numerous
radical labor elements of the state.
1t owns or controls d big string of
publicity organs. And money is
being poured into the big slush
fund by veritable army of League
organizers who are covering a.
dozen or more states in motor cars
selling twoyear memberships in the
league to farmers at eighteen dol
lars a throw.
Using the clever scheme by which
| North Dakota was wrested from the
republican party in 1916, the Mimi
esota League and Minnesota Labor
purpose to agree upon a slate of
| county, state and congressional
candidates who will file under the
name Republican. If the real re-
publicans go into the June primary
with big field of candidates, as
seems likely, it is easy to see what
such division will produce. The
League-Labor slate will be nom1-
mated. Real republicans may then
do one of three things at the fall
election: Help elect the League
slate, vote> for democrats or stay at
home. Experience in North Dakota
indicates that they will do all
three thus insuring the election of
their opponents and turning the
state over to the league and it's
labor allies for their experiments
in state ownership.
OF a dozen more states in which
the league is active, interest CEN
ters in a few of them. Townley
makes rather confident claims re-
garding ldaho-long hotbed of
labor radicalism. He thinks there
is chance in Washington-Ole
Hanson's state. League leaders
mention with pride the growth of
the league in Wisconsin, and they
call attention to South Dakota and
Montana.
But chief interest, as ever, cen
ters in the home state of North
Dakota state where "industri-
al democracy" is actually being
ownership, the state of cora winds
and hot words, the state of the An
| tiliar's Law: the state which per-
mits woman living more than
half mile from the polls to have
her ballot marked for her by some
one else the state of single tax;
the state of state owned mills, ele-
vators. mortgages, insurance and
whatnot; the state where all school
and public funds are compulsorily
put into state owned bank and
made available to the Industrial
Commission for any or every state
owned thing.
North Dakota is the white-hot
center of interest, because the first
pay day has arrived. Those who
hired Townley to paint rainbow
over the state are now sharing the
general expense of digging for gold
at its end. Taxes are seldom met
cheerfully. Death and taxes" be-
gins an old saying illustrative OF
the sad certainty of both In North
Dakota the current taxes are kick
ing up a furious row.

Sidewalk District
Is Now Assured
HIRES ATTORNEY AND ENGI.
NEER-T0 RE-ESTABLISH
GRADES OF DISTRICT

Upon the petition of some 80
property owners. the village board
of trustees in special session Mon
day night. set the machinery in
motion for the creation of a side
walk improvement district in that
section of Orofino lying east OF
Johnson Avenue and north of Oro-
fino creek. A large number OF
property owners were present at
the meeting and presented the pc
tition which also asked for the
employment of a competent attor-
ney and engineer. The board voted
to accept the petition and create
the district. A motion also carried
to employ F.. E. Smith, county at
torney, to handle the legal work in
this connection and j. w. Mutch
as engineer. Mr.. Smith is now
preparing resolution for publica-
ton calling for the creation of the
district which will probably be
adopted at the next meeting of the
board. Mr.. Mutch, chief engineer
for the Clearwater Timber COM
pany has refused to accept the en-
gineering work on account of other
duties. but 1t is expected the board
will hire T. F. Edwards, county
engineer at the next meeting.
Owing to the fact that some of
the property owners present object
to some of the grades already es-
tablished, because they were not
uniform, and the fact that the re-
cords from which these grades were
taken are not complete, the board
decided to reestablish all grades
within the district and have plots
and necessary data compiled so that
proper record may be kept of same.
The district is the only one that
will BE created this year on account
of the financial status of the city
The resolution calling for the Gre
alton of the district will provide
for the building of sidewalks. fou,
and one-half feet wide and six
inches from the property line
everywhere within the district
where cement sidewalks do not now
exist, excepting those places where
proprty owners have already been
grantd permission to construct theiI

Nonpartisan League Now
After Idaho Government

The notorious Ray McKaig, of
Kate O'Hare fame, together with
his socialist lieutenant, K. D. Oster-
haut, were the principals in Non
Partisan League meeting, in odd
Fellows hall, last Saturday after
noon. If ever there was evidence
of this organization being a social
ist aggregation, it was positively
proven last Saturday. The chair
man of the meeting was promi-
'nent socialist of Clearwater County,
the two speakers were socialists and
their soviet adherents were in evil
dence in the hall. The most of the
audience, however. was composed of
fair minded citizens, many of whom
were not Leaguers, and who listen
ed attentively and respectfully to
both speakers. A collection was
the first move and it was explained
that the funds were to be applied
toward the payment of the hall
rent and printing. The usual vote
speakers. wasnext in order.
There was nothing particularly
new advanced and it is, therefor,
| unnecessary to. thresh over oft re-
peated assertions and partisan col
ored claims.
1t has been suggested to the
Clearwater Republican, that the
experiment of socialist state and
county government, in North Dako-
ta, should be thoroughly inyesti-
gated by a representative commit
tee composed of members who
would make an impartial report.
This is a big undertaking and it
is also very vital one, and should
be taken up by the national gov
ernment, free of partisan politics.
If the workings of the Non Par
tisan League in North Dakota is
practical and of benefit to the
people at large. the organization
should be heralded as an American
benefactor. If. as claimed by its
opponents, it IS national ulcer,
it should be entirely destroyed
While there are no doubt, many
conscientious and well meaning
citizens who join the Non Partisan
League, the organization is a maven
for radicals and l. w. w. agitators.
In Clearwater County the un-
scrupulous power that exploited the
county during its early period, Is
now prominent in the Non Partisan
League movement. The situation
has developed into question as to
which the citizens of Clearwater
County desire. undiluted American
ism or experimental socialism. Let
the conservative people Immediately
and thoroughly consider and finally
decide this present vital question.
