COLD STORAGE FOR BUTTER.

The bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture, has
just completed a survey of the space
available for the storage of butter in
the cold storages throughout the
United States for the present season.
Reports have been received from ap-
proXimately 100 warehouses. They
show that during the month of June
they had space available for the car
rying of 141, 100000 pounds, and that
during July they expected to have ad-
ditional space sufficient to store 49,
100000 pounds. Of this amount,
space sufficient for the storage of
15,s00,O0O pounds had been contract,
ed for before June Is.
During the month of June, in 1919,
these same warehouses increased their
holdings by Al, 5OO,OOO pounds and
during July by 100000 pounds, and
their total holdings on August / were
95,20O,O00 pounds. The total holdings
reported from all warehouses on Sep
TENDER l, 1919, amounted to a little
more than 131 ,OOO, 900 and the hold
ings of that date were the largest on
record.

BELIEVES WOMEN
SHOULD UNITE FOR
POLITICAL POWER

Mrs. Theodore Youmans, of Wau-
kesha, Wisconsin, associate chairman
of the Wisconsin republican state cen
trail committee, the principal speaker
at the annual luncheon of the Eau
| Claire Woman's club, commended to
the women, as conservators OF civili-
cation, the task of inspiring children
and immigrants with the ideals of
American patriotism. She touched
on women in politics, saying: This
political campaign marks the debut of
! Wisconsin women in national politics.
They are not yet full voters, but they
have the important partial vote for
president and vice president of the
United States.
Gone of the great questions which
faces the woman voter is the question
of political parties. Shall she join
a party or shall she remain in%depend-
cnt, choosing the best man and the
best platform among all the parties?
believe that women will exercise
more influence within the parties than
they will if they remain independent.
"Political parties are groups of
people bound together by a common
belief in some fundamental principle
of government. Each party should
represent the concensus of opinion of
it's members. We wish women to
make an intelligent choice between
parties. We wish them to take their
minds and consciences into the parties
and preserve a certain independence
in demanding consideration for then
views. Some are skeptical about the
influence of women in political par
ties. I think they will have just as
much influence as they are entitled to
If their interest is genuine and last
ing, if they do their part in necessary
organization work, they may become
really Influential members.
"Women are the ~conservators OF
civilization. We need the influence
of women in this country now; neec
it for a stable ordered government
We need their ideals and vision. The
people of the country are losing the
splendid ideals of liberty, equality ant
justice on which this government is
founded-the ideals of Patrick Henry

coin.

~POSTMASTERS WILL SELL
WAR SAVINGS STAN

Postmaster Herring is joining with
1920 other postmasters of the ninth
federal reserve district to sell daily
for six days beginning July 26, one St
war savings stamp and some time
during the week one $1OO United
States treasury savings certificate.
If each of the postoffices sell only
one stamp a day and one certificate
during the week, and the general aver
age is expected to be considerably
more than this, people will have put
during the week more than half a
million dollars into savings and Uncle
Sam will have that much more money
to cut down his hangover wal debts
and thus another effective step will
have been taken to reduce the high
cost of living.
The cost to the purchaser of wal
savings stamps during the month of
July is $4.18 and on January 1, 1925,
the stamp will be redeemed by the
United States treasury for an even
IS. A treasury savings certificate
costs 1886 and pays the wner 500
on January l., 1926.

CIMEXLECTULARIUS.

Isn't it strange how company al

time planned for yourself? Take CT
meXlectularius, for instance. Just
when you have found the quaintest lit

house with the most cheerful country
folks and surprisingly reasonable
rates and a bed that fairly reaches
out and invites you to rest your hot,
weary flesh to the soft music of the
rustic night, just as you are doing
off in a state of perfect bliss, the Gil
mex lectulariuses drop in and proceed
to make themselves at home on your
poor carcass. First you dreamily Won

place; then as you search uncertainty

ate is giving you the hives. hits goes
on for quite a spell before you finally

upon an orgy of bloodshed.
There is nothing you a do for
company like that except to pack up
and leave. 1t is up to the household
er to deal with the company. She may
solve the problem most effectively by
calling in a trained fumigator and
having the room or rooms thoroughly
fumigated with ~hydrocyanic gas or
with sulphur. If that is beyond her
reach, then she must get a squirt gun
and load it with kerosene and squirt
every little nook and crevice full; or
a solution of corrosive sublimate may
be used. Or natural enemies of the
bedbug may be kept around the house,
especially centipedes and the common

Head lice deposit their eggs on the

draw strands of hair through a soft

EFFORTS TO SECURE BALE TIES.

Something new in the way of
Shortages" has developed. This time
it is a shortage of baling wire for this
seasons hay crop. If the horses go
uIif~li, it. will NJ l. because OF lack
of hay, but because of the lack of
bale ties to bind the hay for shipment.
Active steps taken by the bureau Of
markets, United States department
of agriculture, to aid in overcoming
this shortage of bale ties have result
ed in one factory, with an output of
800 bales a day, resuming work to ca
pacity, and several other large man
ufacturers stating their willingness to
do everything possible to meet the
demand.
The bureau of markets has commun-
icated with the principal manufacture
ers of wire and the leading bale-tie
factories, urging them to increase
their production. A survey of the en-
tire situation disclosed that the gen
eral scarcity is due mostly to strikes,
transportation difficulties, and short
age of wire.
As distribution is one of the main
reasons for the present shortage, the
department of agriculture has sug-
gested plans to manufacturers by
which it is hoped to supply those sec
tons of the country first where the
need is most pressing. 1t is believed
that if the manufacturers proceed
along the lines suggested, sufficient
bale ties will be manufactured ane
shipped to dealers to supply the de,
mand with but little loss to the hay
crop.

sinking of the Lusitania five years a

DIRECT CABLE MONEY
TRANSFER TO BELGIUM

The Western Union Telegraph com-
pany that arrangements
have been made to resume direct mon
ey transfer service to all points in
Belgium. This service will be supple
mentary to its present direct cable
none transfer service with Great
Britain. The telegraph company in ac-
cepting remittances for persons in
Belgium will convert the amounts de-
posted by the senders in dollars into
the equivalent in Belgian francs, at
the approximate prevailing rate Of eX-
change in New York at the time Of the
transaction.
The reopening of this direct service
should be of considerable convenience
to people desiring to send money
quickly, safely and direct to their
friends in Belgium, and the service
will be particularly valuable in trans
ferring funds to the large number of
Americans who are already on the
other side, and who will probably in
crease in number during the coming
months, visiting the Belgian battle
fields.
The Western Union claims superior
ity Of its cable transfer service to
Belgium over the present money or
der system of the post office depart
ment, from the point of view of both
speed and cost. The telegraph COM
pany points out that including cable
tolls, it is actually cheaper Excepting
for very small sums) to send a cable
transfer to Belgium by Western union
under the exchange rates at present
allowed by the Western Union than
it is to send a U. S. money order by
mail.
Transactions arranged through the
postoffice department are understood
still to be effected on the basis of the
pre-war value of Belgian francs in the
United States. while Westnrn TInion
money transfers to foreign countries
are paid out at destination at the cur
rent rate of exchange. Therefore,
when the value of foreign money de-
preciates the sender gets the benefit,
while under the post office system
those who send post office money or.
ders fail to get the benefit of a low
exchange rate.
To illustrate the point, the company
cites the case of a depositor who wish.
es to send 5000 to a city in Belgium
In transmitting this sum on the basis
of the present value of the Belgian
franc, the Western Union would SEM
around 1900 francs, while to trans
NIT the same number of francs by pos
office money order would require thu
deposit of nearly $3.50. For instance
on the basis of a conversion rate o
11.55 francs to the dollar, the sende.
would have to deposit only S205.1'
with the Western Union in order t.
have 2,310 francs paid in Belgium
which is made up of principal, $20C
transfer charges $500 and cable tolls
approximately $500, plus 10c tax. vi;
the ~postoffice money order method
sender would have to deposit S453.0
at the postoffice, made up of princi
pal, S44S.54, fee $3.50 and SC postag
l to purchase money orders for 2,31
: francs. This amount would have t
be sent in five different orders-fou
of 500 each and one for S4S.54. /
< transaction like this shows a savin:
, of $24S.OO in favor of cabling tn
: amount by Western Union. In add
ton to the money saving there is, o
course, the great saving in time thr
use of the cable instead of the mail.

DRAFT DESERTERS'

delay, it was announced this week,
were several, one being that more time
should be given to correct the lists

Information has been received with
in the last few days from two of the
smaller states that enabled the depart
ment to eliminate 40 names from the
list of deserters, the war department
reported
Zone Of the reasons for giving pub
serters was to be published was to
cause all those persons in whose mind
there existed doubt as to their final
status to write to the war department
in order that their records could be
investigated and then eliminated from
the list" the war department an
nounced This has resulted in the
elimination of a number of names from
the list.
Whatever delay has occurred is at
tributed to the fact that every neces-
sary precaution is being taken to in
sure the elimination from the list OF
all names that do not properly belong
on it. TO publish the name OF an in
dividual who actually served his coun-
try honorably during the world war
would do him irreparable injury, as
no subsequent announcement by the
department of the individual himself
could completely remove the blemish
from his name or mend his damaged
reputation"
Latest figures in the adjutant gen.
erals office give the total number of
draft deserters as 498,043.
An examination of the records prior
to July Is, 1919, resulted in the deter
mination that 151,354 of the number
reported as deserters had enlisted in

Oil Wastage Will
Not Be Permitted

Austin, Tex.-Following a confer
ence with oilmen Monday, the railroad
commission issued notice of warn
ing that no oil wastage will be permit
ted in the Breckenridge field; that the
pipe line capacity has been reached
and exceeded, and that if more wells
are brought in, the commission, acting
under the conservation law, will cause
the wells to be shut In, which invari-
ably works a serious injury to the
well
The commission was told that the
pipe line capacity ID about 5000 bar
rels per day, against a production of
10000 barrels, with 30 wells due to be
brought in at Breckenridge before
November l.
Drillers will have to suspend op-
erations when the sands are reached
until additional pipe lines are pro-
wider or more storage created. The

line to Breckenridge. The situation is
expected to improve after three weeks
