By Republicans
Senator Accuses Barnes of
Conducting Propaganda
Campaign Against Bill to
End Grain Corporation

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Gronna, Republican, Of North Dakota,
charged in an address to-day in the
Senate that Julius Barnes, president
Of the United States Grain Corpora
ton, was Conducting a propaganda
campaign" against the Senator's bill
proposing abolishment of the corpo-
ration.
The Senator gave formal notice that

my views"
Charging that Mr.. Barnes had err
roneously represented that the bill in
question would terminate the govern
ment's wheat price guarantees and had
overestimated the country's wheat
supply by e8,000,000 bushels, Senator
Gronna said:
"I don't see how it is possible for
Mr.. Barnes in his position to give
proper attention to the interests of

Presidential campaign Of one Of his
distinguished associates, the greatest
internationalist In the United States"

had some difficulty in discovering with
what political party to ally himself.
Does the Senator know whether he
has decided on a party affiliation yet ?"
"The only information I have is in
the Blue Book" said Senator Gronna.

"But there isn't any such party in

Federal Prohibition Agent Seizcs Liquor in ''Home''

''Hair Tonic Is Arrested as ssDry'' Violator

The course Of the prohibition en-
'fcrcement squad, which had been run
ming over smooth, routine trails for a
week, dropped suddenly yesterday into
heavy going. Last night the business
of making the Eighteenth Amendment
effective in New York was concerned
with two questions: May man make
his legal "home" in any place he
chooses to indicate? and is it illegal
to sell hair tonic with 80 per cent
"kick" in it?
1t was left for John H. Bredc, 7e4
Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, to take
the stand that Brooklyn mans store
is his home, If he likes so to designate
it. Prior to the legal dissolution of
such places Brede had wine store at
also sleeping premises in the apart,
around Brede bought himself two let
tered signs. One read "Private--No

TO MEET THE EMERGENCY
Youngster Had Little Difficulty Max

He Would Do.

AS the old lady strolled on the cliffs
near seaside town she came across
lad dressed In the well-knOwn
scouts rig.
"What do they teach you in the
scouts?" she asked him, with beam

"To be manly citizens, and true to
king and country" replied the lad
promptly.
"And what are you going to be when
you grow up. my little man?" went on
his self-appointed examiner.
"a soldier, to fight for the king"
was the patriotic reply.
Every brave" appiauded the old
dame. "Now, suppose you saw the
kings coach dashing along, with run
away horses, straight toward the
edge Of this cliff, what would you DOR

HAIRY PERUVIAN HAS

TESTING SOILS FOR. ACIDlTY
Valuable information May BE Secured
by Insertion Of Blue and 1ed
Litmus Paper.

One Of the common methods of test
ing soil for acidity is to get from a
drug store a few pieces, each of blue
and red litmus paper. A spade is In
serted into the soil to be tested while
your soil is reasonably moist. When
the spade is withdrawn one piece Of
the litmus paper of each color is
poked into the opening made by the
spade, and the soil is pressed firmly
against the Htmus paper which is al
lowed to remain a minute or so, or I'M
til the paper is acted on by the soil
moisture. If the blue litmus paper
turns red the soil is acid. If the red
litmus paper turns blue the soil is al
kaline. II the paper is not changed In
color the soil Is neutral. If you wish
to get the degree of acIdity you had
best get test made by chemist.

Danger OF Disease to Cattle and

The extent to which bovine tubercu-
lOsis, IL uncontrolled, runs its course
through herd of cattle is shown In a
recent report received by the United
States department of agriculture from
one Of It's field inspectors in Illinois.
Every animal In herd Of grade Hol-
stems and Jerseys reacted to the
tuberculosis test. The herd consisted
of ID cows, two calves and two bulls.
Upon post-mortem examination six Of
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1920-09-24

the animals showed such extensive
LESSONS that the entire carcass was
condemned and destroyed. All of the
other reactors likewise showed LESSONS
though not of such an extensive ma
ture as to necessitate destruction Of
the carcass. The fact that every AMI
NAL In the herd reacted and showed
LESSONS makes the case one of the most
striking ever recorded.
Swine Owners Cautioned.
The danger of tuberculous cattle TO
swine was further demonstrated by
in the year. The first lot of q logs
sold showed such extensive LESSONS Of
tuberculosis upon pOst-mortem that
the packing company refused to ac-
cept the remaining so. These were
subsequently sold to local shipper
and their identity and destination are
not known. If the swine are still alive
they are undoubtedly a menace to
other stock. The bureau of animal in
dustry cautions swine owners against
purchasing stock from farms where
either tuberculous cattle or swine are
kept.
Chronic Cougher Died.
The bureau inspector also reported
that a week after the shipment Of
hogs had been made, a milk cow-a
chronic cougher-had died and the
younger stock was allowed to devour
the carcass. Such a practiceis re-
sponsible for a great deal Of tubercu-
los]s among swine in the United
States. According to bureau officials,
the fact stated should cause any live
stock farmer who finds tuberculosis
among his hogs or whose shipments Of
hogs are refused because of extensive
LESSONS of that disease, to have his
herd of cattle tested promptly. Unless
the origin Of infection is known and
removed, tuberculosis Is liable to run
it's course among all the cattle and
swine on the farm.
