REPUBLICANS WILL ACT

The program of the Democratic pol iticians now is to blame the extrava- gant expenditures of the admfnistra- tiOn upon the present Republican con- gress. The New York Times attrib- utes the failure to reduce the number of federal employees to congressional inaction. A little more familiarity with the operations of the national govern ment would doubtless demonstrate to the Times that responsibility for 'hir- federal employees rests with the eXecu- tive branch of government, presided over by one whom the Times credits with omniscience. That, however, does not, of course, prevent the ad- ministratoin organs from trying to pass the buck to congress. What the facts are is of no concern to the administration press agents, just so they can put over on the people the idea that congress is to blame for the increase in number of peace-time fed eraI employees by a third of @ million even as compared with the number carried on the swollen government payrolls under the Vision administra- tion before the war The Times calls upon Republicans to translate their fine words into acts" by pairing down the executive payrolls. When given an opportunity the Republicans will muster out the excess employees, but the opportunity will come only when the people have retired from power the administration responsible for the existing imitation of the national salary list The Republicans in congress have cut the estimates of the execu- tive departments for the coming fiscal year a full billion dollars, and have gone as far as congress can toward the elimination of some 10000 federal employees by reducing the appropria- tions, but there is limit beyond which congress cannot decently go in refusing appropriations demanded by departm heads as absolutely es- sential to the operation of government. Control of the executive department is essential to control of government expenditures, and when that control IS given the Republican party it will be fair to criticize Republican officials for failing to curtail the federal pay rolls; no one not a mere administra- tion claquer would do it before.
 Recently the secretary of war called on congress for an increase in the number of it's employees calling for an additional appropriation of $800,000, This demand was accompanied by the threat that unless the appropriation was made the department would be
 andDle CO aCCGnQ to the inquiries or members of congress on departmental matters, or to reply to letters from ex-service men. This is a fair sam- pie of the methods employed by the administration to coerce congress into making the appropriations criticized by such administration organs as the New York Times.

SEGREGATlNG THE NATIVE

The natives of Alaska have made wonderful progress. They may cha1- lenge civilization to show better ex- ample, when all of the handicaps are considered.
 The plan of paternalism, and espe- cially the reservation idea, is being fought with all the vigor possessed by the more independent natives.
 They want none of it.
 This spirit more than anything else, which seems to be instinctive with them, illustrates their independence and fitness. They need no leading strings. All they want is an equal opportunity with the whites" to skin or swim.
 A few years ago a bureau man wanted to gather the natives of the Copper river valley and the Susitna and place them on a reservation on the coast.
 Chief Good-la-taw, now dead, and Chief Nickoli, fought the plan tooth and nail. They did not have news papers to champion their cause, their command of the English language was limited, but they managed to convey their meaning in such an unmistakable manner that it was not deemed wise to try and move them.
 It is one of the peculiar traits of the dominant white race to want to ex- pertinent and teach every other race those nobler attributes which so many of use fail to practice ourselves.
 As for the Alaskan native, give him just half chance, and he will work out his own salvation. His inborn ideals instinctively grope for the light, for the best we have to offer, though his feet may often lag far behind. So does ours.-Juneau Capi- tai.

shortage Of beef cattle and there is
now some shortage in the supply Of
breeding cattle, the report states.
Feeders have lost heavily during
the last year because of the high
prices of corn, scarcity Of silage tn
adequate transportation and the de-
cline in beef" says the report. Loss
es are estimated from around $2773
per head to as high as $50 per head
to the stock raiser, while the securi-
ty behind cattle loans has exper-
fenced shrfnkage which makes the
liquidation Of some sf this paper
dubious unless liberal extensions can
be accorded to the cattle raiser"
The report further states there is
some evidence Of a diversion from
cattle to hog feeding by many farm
ers but this Is being checked by the
market price Of corn as it is not con-
sidered profitable to feed $1.s0 corn
to $14 hogs, the price Of corn and
hogs being out of line.

Waterloo, June 26.-Just 20 cents a
day increase in salary Is the result
of the passage of the new postal bill
recently by congress. for the older
and more experienced men in the
local postofflce.
Attic the approximate raise in
salary Is something more than that
amount 21s per cent reduction
In salaries by the government TO
provide for an old age pension for
postal workers reduces the actual In
crease to be somewhat less than
70 cents a day.
In order to get younger men in
the service the new bill raised the
entrance salaries from 1920 to ST.
400. but it falls to provide any such
raise for men in the higher classes.

ator William S. Kenyon In regard to
the postal bill Is as follows:

According to the new law, one
of the grades of postal workers has
been abolished. Under tho old rul-
ing there were six classes OF work
ers according to length Of service but
now there are fve. the fifth class
having been done away with. AS a
result the men most benefited by the
old law are those who were In the
fourth class and who have now been
raised to fifth, or highest class. A
jump Of two classes in one il now
made between tho fourth and fifth
ana the raise in salary is something
more than $500 year. =
The postmaster's assistant and the

but there was no fourth class men
raised In ffth class here, and as q
result the local postal employees have

PROVIDE FOWLS CLEAN FEED
CareIessness on Part of Poultryman
in Cleaning Utensils Will Cause
Much Trouble.

Fowls that are fed grain are pretty
sure to receive pure feed, as all one
has to watch is to make sure the
grains are sweet and clean, and not
mOldy or decayed. However, it is sell
dom advisable to make grain the sole
ration of the poultry.
Soft feeds Cor mashes) will have to
be fed to some extent and troughs
must be used for this kind of feed.
Where the residue is left to sour, the.
fowls will show the effects in time.
Fermented feeds do not appear to be
readily digested by poultry and may
also spread disease germs.
CareleSSness in the matter of clean-
ing the troughs has brought disaster
to many poultryman. The same
thing is true of the drinking vessels.
1t requires only a little effort to have
the feeding and watering vessels Ill
ways clean, and 1t certainly is the
thing to do.

fowls, unless higher price is secured
for the ducks eggs.
A trade is gradually being estab-
lished in some markets for fancy near
by ducks eggs, which bring higher
prices than hens eggs, and the de-
mand seems to be increasing. Pure
white eggs are preferred and usually
bring the highest price, These eggs
should be marketed frequently, as
they depreciate in quality more rapid

hot weather. The market for eggs

The demand for ducks eggs at

as general as the demand for hens
eggs. The quality of the Southern
and Western duck eggs on the aver
age market was poor until people be-
gan to keep Indian Runner ducks and
to build up trade in first-class eggs.
A good demand for ducks eggs exists
about Easter time at prices usually
several cents a dozen higher than for
hens eggs. Most buyers make no
quotations for ducks eggs except early
in the spring. Since three ducks eggs
weigh about the same as four hens
eggs, ducks are not as profitable for
