AMENDMENT NOT PROPER.

That the eighteenth amendment Is

regulating conduct and morals and
that Article V permits only such
amendments as are alterations or ad-
ditions with the scope OF the consti-

That there is no power in tee state
TO ratify an amendment such as the
eighteenth
That two-thrds of the members OF
both houses of congress did not deem
such an amendment necessary within
the true intent and meaning Of Article
y. or the constitution
= LEGISLATION NATTER.
That the prohibition contained in
tho amendment is legislative matter
under Article I. Of the constitution.
and not properly an amendment under
Article Y
That as legislative matter it was
not properly passed by congress and
submitted to the president Of the L. S.
and is therefore void and OF no effect.

Colorado. Arizona. California. Ohio.
Nebraska. North Dakota Washington.
Mississippi. Utah, Massachusetts. New

BEsT-GRADED PRODUCTS WIN
Standardization Establishes Common
Language Between Buyer and
Seller.

1t has been demonstrated many times
that in the markets of the world the
seller with the best-graded products is
the favorite. because graded goods are
stapdard and the buyer knows what
he will get when he buys. Standard
ization establishes common language
between the buyer In one country and
the seller in another which creates
understanding and confidence and pre-
vents disputes.
A national grading system usually
provides for authorized national In
spectors TO pass upon the goods and
thus puts into effect uniform stand
ard application of the grades estab-
lished, whatever they may be. that
cannot be maintained unless the sys-
TEN is nation wide in its scope.

Burberry Eradication, United States De.
partment of Agriculture)
The white man has been referred
to in speech and in verse as having
one of the heavy burdens of life to
bear. This burden, real or fancied
may be heavy, but to the world, it in
no way compares with the Accumulate
ed burdens borne by the farmer in the
production of the wheat crop upon
which the world depends for its staff
of life.
If the crop escapes bad weather.
cold, ice, flood, hail, frost, drought, or
! hot winds-various insects may be
| lurking about to feed upon what re-
mains. Plant diseases in the form of
smuts, rusts, and scabs have taken
varying toll during past years, but, as
rule, they have been less fully I'M
derstood than the troubles from wealth
er or insects. Among these diseases
are the loose smut, sinking smut or
bunt, the black-stem rust the leaf
rust, and the scab or blight OF all
these the black-stem rust has taken
the heaviest toll in the northern states,
epidemics it has caused appalling loss
es. Hope is now held out TO the wheat
growers of the northern part of the
United States that the control of
black-stem rust is possible by the
eradication of common barberry.
1t is important that everyone should
understand that the harmful barberry
is the tall green common European
barberry and its purple variety, and
may be distinguished by the follow
ing characteristics. Usually II is four to
six feet tall, though 1T may reach ten
or even fifteen feet If the bushes are
old. The edges of the rather large
leaves are toothed, the teeth ending in
the base of each cluster of leaves.
are three or more stout, sharp spines.
The light yellow flowers and red ber-
ries are borne in long clusters like
currants. This bush, or any that re-
sembles 1T closely. is harmful and
should be destroyed.
Japanese Variety Harmless.
In contrast to this tall bush there
is a low spreading barberry, known
as Japanese barberry, which in some
localities is more widely planted than
the tall or common barberry. The
Japanese barberry is seldom over three
feet tall and has small leaves with
entire edges. The spines on the stems
are only one in a place. The flowers
are borne singly or in twOs. The ber- |
ries are a dark red in color, borne |
singly or in twos. like gooseberries. |
and have a thicker skin than those |
of the common barberry. This barber |
ry is harmless as ii does not carry |

stroyed.
