feels good many OF its needs, and
is attending to them. 1t has great
capacity for doing things, but it
doesn't realize how great that capac-
ity is. 1t learned considerable about
it during the war, but it has never
gotten down to its full capacity try
ing to do something.
What Blackfoot needs more than
anything else is one great task on
which it can expend it's energies in
combined determination to succeed.
1T should be task that is entirely
too large for the town as most people
see it, and one that it could not back
out of. 1t should be task that
would be a good thing for the growth
of the town in a SUI ~stantial way. If
every man who is able or who thinks
he will be able in the next ten years,
to pave in front of his property,
would agitate among his neighbors,
to get their street paved, the town
would soon be a paved town and
would reap the advantages attending
such improvements. 1t would be
good thing for the town if it should
reach out in doing some such modern
thing as this.
But paving is not the only thing
the town needs. Paving is not the
only improvement the town could af-
for to over-reach on, and make it.
self hard-up to accomplish. 1t would
be doing itself good turn if it
could find some mountain stream or
flock of cold springs that it could
secure and pipe them into town to
put into the water system. 1t would
do we'll to lay out the system assum-
ing that the town will grow into
city and make that growth under the
observation of the present genera
ton. Indeed it would aid greatly in
making this into city to lay an ade-
quate water system and an adequate
sewer system and then pave every
thing. 1t would bite pretty hard to
pay the bills for water and sewer and
paving, but it would make everything
else so much easier it would be
worth while. Then too the payments
could be spread out over such long
term that it would simply mean high
taxes and not too large tax at any
one time. When people know that !
their taxes are going to be high for !
term of years they plan for it and !
meet it. 1t is only when they are
taken by surprise on thirty-day |
notice that it plays havoc.
When the town has water, sewer i
and pavements there will be incentive |
to build homes, and if there were |
houses the town would grow rapidly !,
to fill them. In 1916 the population |
of the town was 350S, but if there |
had been enough houses built to re-
ceive all the. families that tried to
get in the year before, it would have
been nearer 1000. In 1917 the popu
lation was 1900, and if there had
been enough building to house all
that wanted to stop here, it would
have reached $500 in 1917.
Those new people would have liked
he town and boosted for it to their
friends and something like 5000
would have been the total in 1918.
IN May, 1919 the total number was
1892, and if proper housing had been
going on, it would have been close
o 5000 The stream of people look
ng for houses this year would send
t up to nearly 1000 by the end of the
ear if they could be housed and
most of them stayed. The year 1920

THE AMERICAN
LEGION OATH.

One of the chief results to be won
by all that patriotic effort of publ
city which sold to America the idea
of draft system of raising troops
for the great war was to eliminate
any feeling that an American man
could go unwillingly to the support
of his flag. We believe that our men
in the utmost majority were proud
of their ability to give the needed SER
vice in such time of need. American
ism is founded on this belief.
The trainers of the constitution of
the American Legion believed that
not only did the soldiers, sailors and
marines serve with heart and soul
their country's cause, but that they
would do it again. Hence this oath,
which every Legion member must
take:

In the evenings the carnival becomes
the center Of Philippine and oriental
social activity. A huge open air audi
forum serves for the elaborate nightly
balls, and on Its mammoth floor thou
sands Of couples swing together to the
strains of music furnished by the ia
nous Constabulary and other military
bands. Probably at no other place In
the world will one see an equally i'm
pressive cosmopolitan spectacle.
The Manila visitor who can plan his

self fortunate.

Stop Sale of Saccharine

Through the cooperation of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Foods, and the Fede
raj authorities in Washington, the
saccharine menace in Pennsylvania
has been practically eliminated. Agents
of the State Bureau of Foods have
located the sources of practically all
of the doped syrups containing saccha-
rine and not only has the sale Of these
products been stopped in Pennsylvania,
but the Federal authorities have taken
steps to prevent the shipment of the
banned products into the State.
Director James Foust, following a
conference with DR.. Carl l.. Alsberg,
Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry. at
WASHINGTON, announced that tie situa-
ton was letter in Pennsylvania than
at any tine since the soaring price Of
sugar brought about use Of saccha-
rine by unst rupulous dealers.

Saving Potato Seed

Farmers who contemplate saving
their own potatoes for seed are ad
vised by the Bureau of Plant Industry
of the Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture to try to get seed from
only the most vigorous and productive
plants, since weaklings and diseased
plants will reproduce their kind and
are therefore improbable. 1t is
recommended that part of the field
be now. selected as seed plot AMI
that all weakly and diseased plants
be removed from it before before the
tops begin to die, so that nothing but
the best will be left for next years
seed. An expert knowledge of ,pots-
to- diseases is not needed to carry
out this method of eliminating the
unfit. Any one knows the difference
between a strong, healthy potato plant
and weakling, and by just getting
rid of the latter one cannot go far
wrong. A couple of hours work Of
this kind may mean a large increase
in next years crop.

Blister Beetles
Doing Damage

Blister beetles are being received
with great frequency at the Bureau of
Plant Industry-sometimes several
packages in the same. mail. They are
sometimes spoken of as old-fashioned
potato bugs, because before the Colo
RADIO a potato beetle became so COM
mon the blister beetles were recog-
nized as the potatoes only enemy.
Blister beetles are hard to fight be-
cause they appear suddenly, in large
numbers and succumb slowly to arsen-
ical poisons. Keep potatoes and SIM
lar crops covered with Bordeaux mix
ture containing two pounds of pow
Gered arsenate of lead to each fifty
(50) gallons. On crops that cannot
be sprayed with arsencals, try beat
ing them with brushes made of weeds
or light brush. Beat gently so as not
to hurt the crop, but still with enough
force to drive the beetles over to an
adjoining field of grass. Manipulating
on small crops is effective but slow

Tracing Wire
less Strays

1t is reported that all the amateur
wireless telegraph operators of Eng
land are to be called on to help solve
the mystery of wireless wave antics
and of strays-the electric forces often
caught by wireless instruments, but
which are recognized as stray cleo
tricity in the air
1t is now fairly well established, in
connection with Eiffel Tower signals,
that when it is raining at the sending
end the receiving end is apt to be
poor; but that if it is clear at the
sending end and raining at the re-
ceiving end the signals come along
normally. If it is cloudy at both ends
the signals are better than ever. II
has long been generally known that
after sunset the strength of the wire
less signals increases greatly; but the
exact amount of this increase in thou
sands of cases is wanted for the study.
The subject of strays is a big one
in itself, but if all the amateurs of the
land were on the lookout for them, and
sent in reports on all they noticed, it
might be found that they travel on
certain understood lines, like storms,
or appear under certain conditions of
weather.

Apple Packing
Regulations

regulations issued by the Bureau of
Markets, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, are being mailed to grow
ers, dealers, and other intereste i
parties. Copies will be sent to any
one interested by addressing the Penn
sylvania Bureau of Markets, Harris
burg, Pa.
The regulations are made undei
the authority of the Pennsylvania APP
pie Picking Law and will go into effect
this season. They require that all
closed packages of apples grown in
Pennsylvania shall be marked with
the name and address of the packer
the name of the variety, and the mini
mum size or the numerical count of
the apples within the package to be
marked with it's capacity in terms of
dry measure. The regulations also
require the face of package Of
apples to fairly represent the average
of the apples in the packages. There is
a tolerance of five per cent allowed
for fruit which may be below the size
marked upon the package.
Any violation should be reported to
the Bureau of Markets, Pennsylvania

Dangerous Cows

Twenty-Five dairy cows driven
across the Maryland-York county line
by cattle dealers in violation of the
Interstate Cattle Law, were quaran-
tined and inspected by agents of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture, and
nine, or SO per cent of the COWS were
found to be so badly diseased that
they were condemned for fertilizer.
The State line is being closely
watched by Bureau agents, and the
State officials, in cooperation with
the Federal Department of Agriculture
are exerting every effort to break up
this illegal traffic in diseased cattle.
Prospective purchasers are warned
against buying cattle unless bona
fide health certificate of each animal
is furnished.
The diseased cattle in this instance
were to have been offered at public
sale in a section of Chester County
which contains hundreds of good dair-
les. Had they not been caught and
held by State agents they would, I'M
doubtedly have been bought by unsus-
pecting farmers, placed in their herds.
with the result that tuberculosis would
have been spread to other cattle, to
say nothing of communicating the
milk

and
Caterpillars
Riddle Shade Trees

The bagworm is at work on shade
trees. 1t is readily recognized be-
cause the worm lives inside tube
made from silk spun by itself, inter-
woven with bits of leaves from the
tree on which it is living. The tus
sock moth caterpillars produce two
broods per year and damage trees
badly when abundant. They can be
controlled very easily by spraying with
arsenate of lead, using two pounds of
the powdered form in SO gallons of
water.
For only a tree or two, particularly
small trees in front of city homes, COLI
troll will be effected much more cas-
lily by busting. Small hand busters
can be purchased from seed stores
also sulphur dust made especially for
busting purposes-one containing IS
per cent sulphur and Is per cent arse
late of lead will prove effective, or
home made mixture, using IS per
cent arsenate of lead, will also give
results. Practically all parts of the
tree can be easily reached with the
dust if the operator will climb up in
side the tree. :
For information regarding insect
pests and diseases of shade trees, send
specimens to the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture.
