1t came recently to the attention Of
the American chamber Of commerce In
London that British firm was using
the American flag and words and
phrases indicating American origin for
the advertising, container and. bottle
labels Of a wholly British prepare
ton. Communication of this fact to
the British board of trade saw all
traditions of departmental red tape
shattered when the board Of trade
rang up by telephone instead Of fol-
lowing the usual formal tortuous
channels of communication. After OBJ
tanning further particulars the firm
concerned was called to account and
has agreed to refrain from the objec-
tionable practice in future.-The Ma
tons Business.

Grasshopper Bait.

A year ago the grasshopper ate up
nearly $1O0,OO0OOO worth of our win
ter wheat. Science at once set about
devising some scheme to control this
pest. They mixed a concoction, on an
enormous scale, known as 'grasshop-
per bait" making 4565 tons Of 1t, or
enough to fill 1873 large railroad cars.
To mix this bait they used 100000
lemons, eighty-three tons Of white ar
senic and other ingredients in similar
proportion. The bait was then scat
tered over a great area in Kansas
The grasshoppers ate 1t freely with
the expected result. This year there
are no grasshoppers in Kansas

COMMUNITY LIBRARY WORK

The following is q good suggestion
for starting a library in ones home
town where there is none. We nj
like good books, but not all of us an
able to secure the books We desire
unless there is q library handy. Reac
the following and maybe some of yor
can improve on il.
AT Leader. FL Paso County, Mrs
Phillips, chairman, did good work. She
ordered a travelling library from the
State Librarian at Denver. The boz
contained fifty books. The freight or
the box of books amounted to 65 cent.
and at the end Of six months the boz
will be exchanged for another suppl,
Of reading matter. Meanwhile, .
social was given and funds raised tc
buy twenty books for the library.
Mrs. Phillips has gotten in touch
with clubs in Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, who send her in their old
magazines for distribution around the
county.
Some of the enterprising club wom-
en- of Gunnison might well start some
thing Of the kind, or better still, we
might all get. together and donate q
few good books towards a combined
reading and rest room in some empty
store building on Main street, where
visitors from the country could spend
their spare minutes while shopping in
town, or where strangers could sit
and rest vixen they have nothing else
to occupy their spare time, and know
of no place to go. A small circulat-
ing library in connection, with copies
of the latest magazines, good books
and other reading matter, for which q
small sum could be charged for the
privilege of using, would help to de-
fray the small expense necessary for
such a place. The writer knows OF
one little town not as big as Gunnison
where there is something of this kind
Of combined library and rest room.
The room is open twice q week, and
several of the young girls of the
town take turns in being hostess To
the visitors who call for books or to
rest. Sometimes light refreshments
are served for a small sum; sometimes
a candy sale is held, and other times
a food sale is held. the money secured
going towards the upkeep of the
place. The articles sold, or the re-
freshments served being donated by
the ladies who patronize the library
Well, anyway, it's worth thought
or two. We will warrant there are
any number of folks in this town who
would be glad to get good book tc
read now and then without having to
pay the purchase price. which is Otter
impossible to do, and often the per.
son has no place to keep large mum.

CULINARY FAILURES
OFTEN CAUSED BY
LACK OF PRECISION

II housewives would only learn to
measure carefully instead of trusting
to eye estimates, or rather guesswork,
half their failures in the culinary line
could be avoided. How many times
has some woman said to herself or to
a neighbor: "Now what is the matter
with that cake? I made it just as
usual" Perhaps she did-"just as
usual-but when the measurements
are not accurate, one cannot always be
certain that one is making their cake
Just as usual" There. are numerous
and inexpensive measuring spoons,
cups, and etc, which should always be
in every kitchen cabinet. Measuring
by the eye is often inaccurate and ex-
perience is a dear teacher.
The baker who is even more ex-
perienced than the housewife, does
not trust to inaccuracy, but takes the
precautions TO weigh and measure all
ingredients to insure n uniform pro-
duct.
Baking powder in particular, is an
unknown quantity. Many housewives
use 2 teaspoons of baking powder to a
sieve of flour in a biscuit recipe, and
If the teaspoons are heaping instead of
level, (Which they should be- tsp OF
baking powder to cups of fiour) she
really used six or eight spoons of the
powder to the sieve of -four, which is
entirely too much. Measure accurately
and avoid waste by having the pro-
duct spoiled.

FREIGHT CARS IDLE; SHORTAGE
NOT REAL

Chicago-The Illinois Agricultural
Association has completed a survey of
the alleged freight-car shortage and
Secretary Thompson of the associa-
tion says:
"This survey shows pretty clearly
to the farmers of Illinois the excuse
of car shortage is largely camou-
fiage, given to cover up some real,
deeper reason for the present trans
portation ineffciency. And to search
for that reason will be the next job
of the farmers business organiza-
ton"
Members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and
numbers of all cars at 494 stations
located in 46 different counties for
seven consecutive days. Of these 494
stations, 146, or 29.5 per cent, re-
ported some of the same cars on
tracks the last day of the count as
were on the tracks the first day of
the count.
"At all stations" says Secretary
Thompson, 1924 cars were listed
the first day, and of these cars 938
out. of 1924 cars had not been moved
from the country point for sveen con-
secutive days. This is just little
over 10 per cent of the cars at such
points.
"Mine operators say they were
forced to idleness many days each
week, leading to the strike of the
miners, which recently tied up the
mines just when the farmers we're
needing coal for threshing."

State Examiner Finds Shortage
Former Municipal Court Clerks Accounts Alleged
To Be Short For Second Time Since Jan. |

Two shortages in his financial ac-
count within period of less than six
months is the unenviable record of
Carlos G. Hanks, the late clerk of the
municipal court who recently resigned
his position to "accept" some sort of
job on a steamer running on the
great lakes, where he is at present
supposed to be employed.
On June IA State Examiner Eugene
l.. Hensel came to town to make the
regular annual examination of the
various city offices, and was occupied
in that capacity for about a month.
In auditing the books of the municipal
court he discovered deficit in Clerk
Hanks books amounting to $153 for
the period between January 1 and
June ID. This shortage Hanks made
up and the matter was let drop.
Hanks afterwards resigned and left
the city. Judge F. A. Bolton then
became suspicious and being dissatis-
fed with the way things had been con-
Quoted by the late clerk, he consulted
with City Auditor Cliff Frye who took
the matter up and began an audit
of the ex-clerk's books. He early
realized that it was a matter which
should be thoroughly sifted, and not
L
and examine witnesses, he certified
his findings to the state auditor and
requested that an examiner be sent to
Newark Immediately to straighten
things out and make full and COM
plete audit of the municipal court af-
fairs from January 1, 1920 to August
10, the date upon which Hanks resig
nation became effective.
1t was during the examination that
an amazing state of affairs was dis
