M0PS FOR POLISHED FLOORS
One May Be Made of Old Stockings
or Any Discarded Wooden or
FlanneIette Material.

For oiled or polished floors an oiled
floor mop is almost a necessity. Sew
eral makes can be found on the mar
ket, or n may be made of old stock
ings or any discarded wooden or fan
nelette material. In a Farmers Bull
letin on Farm Home Conveniences,"
obtainable free from the United States
department of agriculture, the follow
ing directions for making such a mop
are given:
The material is cut into 1-inch wide
strips, which are sewed across the
middle to a foundation of heavy cloth.
This is fastened to an old broom ham
die or used in a clamp mop handle.
The mop, when finished, is dipped
into a solution made of one-half cup
full of melted paraffin and one cupful
of kerosene, and then allowed to dry.
To keep it moist it is rolled tightly
and kept in a paper bag away from
stoves or lamps.

RUSSIAN THISTLE
(SaIsola Pestifer)

This weed is not a true thistle and
Fdoes not in any way resemble thistles
excepting that it is spiny. 1t is ar an
nual and when well grown the plant
is roundish in form, green in color
sometimes with reddish streaks. 1t
appears to be made up chiefly of a
mass of branching stems as the leaves
are small and slender and the flowers
are so inconspicuous as to be rarely
noticed. The spines are very numer-
Gus, o~ne-fourth inch or more in length
and very sharp. They are in reality
modified leaves borne in groups of
three at close intervals all over the
smaller branches.
The seeds are moderately abun-
dant and borne close above the at
tachment of the spines.
The Russian thistle not only ex-
hausts the soil of food and water, but
crowds the crop, especially grain that
has made a poor stand. 1t also seri-
ously interferes with the binder, bad
ly pricks the legs of horses and makes
the sheaves very disagreeable to
handle.
When mature and dry the
plants become broken off or
pulled up and their rounded
form makes them ideal tumb-
ling weeds, blowing about and scat
tering their seeds until they lodge in
unsightly heaps along fences and in
dooryards and groves of trees. Over
the ~unfenced prairie they roll before
high winds with astonishing speed I'M
til worn out.
1t is essentially a weed of partially
cultivated ground. 1t is easily destroy
ed by good cultivation and on the
other hand, it is easily choked out by
a vigorously growing crop. 1t cannot
ordinarily get a start in unbroken
sod. 1t is seldom troublesome in this
on irrigated lands, but is a
real pest on dry lands. This is not be-
cause it dislikes water for it thrives
well on the raw ground along irri-
bitches even close to the water
where it has earned the name Glitch
The reason for its great
err prevalence on dry land appears to
be that here the crops are not so
rank as to choke it out and rotation
is not so much practiced.
In badly infested fields the weeds
be moved and burned in late
summer before the seed is ripe. Some
branches, however, come out so low
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-08-05

that the mower will pass over them
and there will be plenty of seed form
ed unless the field is at once plowed
and narrowed. Another method some
times practiced with success is to
pasture the infested land with sheep
which are rather fond of the young
plants.
Following either of these prelim-
mary treatments the farmer may
choose between two lines of proceed
ure as he thinks best.
"a The field may be kept IN sum
mer fallow or a cultivated crop for
two years, provided all the weeds are
kept down and not too many blow IN
from the surrounding country.
~ The field may be seeded to a
rank growing crop such as millet,
bronze grass, peas, alfalfa, clover or
timothy. On irrigated ground grain
will do nearly as we'll if sown at the
right time on properly prepared soil.
AS Russian thistle spreads so free
ly, legislation viii be necessary to
prevent its maturing in gardens,
town lots, neglected farms and along
railroads and highways, if it is to be
controlled in sections where it natur-
thrives.
Most of the procedure outlined
above is equally applicable to many
other annual weeds, such as rag
weeds, %sunflowers, careless weed,
quarters, etc.-Montana Ag-
ricultural Experimental Station.

He can crow like a whole flock of
ROSTERS, stage a dog fight and initiate
so many things that he will keep you
in constant wopderment and in a con-
tinuous roar of laughter. The saving
of wood, popping of corks, initiating
locomotive whistles-all these are
child's play to him. He appears in
two programs or the fourth day as
an extra added attraction with Tay-
lor's Singing Band.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-08-05

1t is almost useless for n farmer,
ten farmers or a hundred farmers in
the county to work hard in their eff
forts to down the thistle when their
neighbors are not doing anything to
assist them. When a Northwestern or
Southwestern starts rolling the Tumb-
lie Weeds one cannot imagine the a.
mount of territory over which the
seeds are spread. For this reason it
it up to us to organize within and
without the County in order to con-
troll these noxious weeds that are sap
ping the ground of moisture and soil

TO THE VOTERS OF INCOME COUNTY

In announcing my candidacy for the office of County Commission
er on the Democratic ticket for the two year term, I wish to point to
my record during the past two years as an indication of my work in
the future.
1t has been my experience for a period of over thirty years that a
political promise is the easiest made and the easiest broken of all
declarations. | do not intend making any campaign promises; ni-
Their do intend to break any, Whatever may be the work of Com
misIoners, the most important is the making of good roads at the
least possible expense. Road improvement and taxes go hand in
hand. An efficient and economical administration will do much to
equahze these two factors.
l propose, if elected, to improve the conditions of the County to
the best of my ability and to keep the taxes a s low as possible. Best
roads for the least money; economic and efficient county admins
tration; low taxes.
On this foundation / solicit your support.
Respectfully,
KF. KIRCHNER.

 The Community Tree on Christmas Eve was decided success. The pro- ram siven by the children was excep- tionally good. The hall was crowded with the parents of the children. The Christmas spirit was in evidence ev- anywhere. Each and every one of the children was schooled thoroughly in that part of the program in which they participated The songs and dances were all good and cleverly given. Both the teachers and the children deserve credit for the success of the Tree.

D. Stewart that the gold fields of the region will re- quire the expenditure of both time and money before mines can be put on a paying basis .. No one should go into the district unless he can provide him: elf With an outfit and make himself completely independent of outside work he said recently.
 NIr Stewart said that reports of quartz discoveries near the Kusko- kwim have not been exaggerated.
 Christmas services were held in the Methodist Church Sunday evening. The congregation filled the church, Seward Lodge No. 219 F. & A. M. at tending in body.
 ., Rev. Duane Earl Carter had chosen for his theme "The Search for Brother hood" He read for the Scripture les son the story of the Wise Men, and the shepherds keeping watch by night ov- CT their flocks than which there is no more beautiful passage in literature. The choir assisted by Dr. Wilson and Miss Schwarz furnished special music for the occasion.
 The line of thought followed by Rev. Carter in his discourse was that God aims at perfection. The grain of corn is made perfect, but it's perfection is not simply for the sake of that partic- ular grain. In it's perfection there is implied service and to complete the service certain environment is nec- essary in order that the grain may multiply and while it apparently per- ishes it reappears in many other like perfect grains.
 All down through the centuries men have tried to establish the ideal form of government by means of war and bloodshed.
 Jesus came. to establish kingdom of the heart which had the forward look to the brotherhood of mankind. Nearly twenty centuries have passed since that wonderful night when the shepherds heard n multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and sing ing Glory to God in the highest And on earth peace among men in whom He is we'll pleased.
 Still men are seeking in vain to es- tablish the perfect government by means of war and oppression. Perfec- tion will never be found except by the universal recognition of God as the Father of mannind and ali men as brothers and then perfection can-only be attained by universal service for the henefit of the hrothorhood

aAlaska's greatest need should

given serious thought now and not put off for another year. The provision
 now of comparatively small amount of money will save added expense in years to come, not to mention the sav-
 ing in life and property. It is neccs-
 sary to have the authorization for new vessels and new launches, which is the only way to conduct this work econno- mically from the standpoint of cost
 for carrying on the work with eater
 speed.
 "So important is the matter of sur
 vey of the waters of Alaska that it is
 deemed wise business move to es- tablish at Ketchikan, the entering port ofAlaska, as soon as funds are avail able, a permanent station supervised by commissioned officer of the Coast Survey where the launches of the Sur
 vey can be stored in the winter, vcs- sel kept in commission, and where sup
 plies including coal and fuel can be
 obtained It is unfortunate that at she present station in Alaska our vessels
 are often delayed owing to the fact
 that Australian coal and Canadian coal are not available for the vessels of the United States. The establish ment of this permanent station in Alaska will do much to facilitate mat ters and help the parties on sea and
 land to get into the field more prompt ly in the spring of each year.
 , ~In 1914, 15, 16, ana IT, tse depart nent strongly recommended the de- sirability of the purchase of Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, as
 Federal Goevrnment base. Up to the present time, while the wisdom of se- curing this property has been clearly shown, nothing definite has been done.
 Dutch Harboris the old home and vil- lage of the North American Commer- cial Co.,, where now the Government wireless station is located. The place is practically abandoned. The buildings are in fair state of preservation. The harbor is excellent and far better and safer for large vessels desiring to dock there than at Unalaska. There is an abundance of excellent water which
 Unalaska lacks. There are also good buildings for living quarters for var ious Government officials. There was never a greater need than at this time for a Government base in western Alaska, where coal, fuel, and other supplies can be obtained at any time of the year, which under existing con- ditions is impossible. The idea of mak- ing Dutch Harbor an ideal Government supply station is one that should be encouraged, and the opportunity now presents itself, and it further post poned the opportunity for carrying out this wise business venture may be lost".

 WASHINGTON, Dec, 27- Devel- opment of Alaska on a "big-business" scale is urged by Secretary Alexander of the Department of Commerce, in his annual report made public today.
 For Ffty-three years" says the secretary" we have gone along giving this vast and rich empire a dab of paint here and there, but no definite policy has ever been suggested that has been fully and comprehensively carried out. The result has been much complication and continued neglect"
 Declaring that the coast and geodet- ic survey is a very vital agency in the development of Alaska, Secretary AL exander calls attention to what he de scribes as the imperative need for complete surveys in Alaska
 .!"In order to appreciate the immedi- ate need for this york;" says the scc- letary,, it must be clearly understood that Aiaska's only connection with the rest of the world is by water routes. "The millions of dollars that are being expended to build the govern nen-owned railroads to the interior of Alaska; the large amount of private capital that has been and will be spent to devlop her mines, to build up her fishing industries; the certain early opening of the vast coal fields; the utilizing of the kreat timber resources. all this would be wasted and her vast resources would be worthless if vessels could not reach and enter her ports or visit the railroad terminals, canner- ies and nearest ports as outlets to the many mines.
 With the great demand for paper and substitutes for wooden boxes, the country is looking to Alaska for the supply of raw materials. Never in the history of Alaska has there been such centering of interest on these im- portant products that have been so scarce and in such demand in the past two or three years. One of the first conditions looked for by those who are interested in building paper mills or factories are ood harbors and cheap power. Alaska abounds in both. Hun dreds of harbors adequate for the car rying of large vessels land conducting manufacturing plants are in southern Alaska, and in close proximity to many of them is wonderful waterpow- CT that is oniya waiting to be put to proper use. ',r
 "The anticipated development along these lines is about to be realised but the principal forerunner for encourag- ing this development is to safe guard the waterways by completed surveys. In very few instances is this done.
 It,is impossible to give an accu- rate list of hundreds of vessels that have stranded, foundered and been to- tai, wrecks in the waters of Alaska during the past 50 years. The records are, sufficiently known to convey to the minds of those who are interested a most narrowing condition that has existed during the last half century. While it should not be understood that ali of these disasters have been caus- ed by lack. of; proper sailing charts and lack of knswiedge of currents, it can be seid that the greater portion of the &reeks have been directly due to the lack, of accurate nautical information which can. be furnished by proper sur vsys .: eH . -. :, i

Christmas 1920 is thing of the past but the memory of the day will remain with the Riddles and the grown ups for sometime. Without a question of doubt every man and wo' man and every child in Seward spent a Merry Christmas. Next on the pro- gram is New Year Day. Then will start the days of 1921. People will make new resolutions. Some will keep them and some will not. The coming year holds great promise for the de- velopment of Alaska along safe and sane lines and with the coming into power of the new Republican Admin Co istration we can expect some things that have long been withheld.
 We have a Republican Delegate. Our next governor will be George Hazelett the legislature at Juneau will be most ly Republican. We can expect co-Op- eration. If We don't get it there will be something radically wrong,
 The weather yesterday morning felt more like an April day than day in late December. The crows were squabbling and croaking along the Glacier Stream and the gulls were paddling contentedly in the waters of the bay. The thermometer was above freezing A warm chinook wind was gently blowing. Wonderful weather old Father Winter has doled out for Seward this season.
