STRONG PLEA FOR GARDENS
United States Commissioner Of Educa-
ton Urges That Last Years Good
Work Continue.

Last year more than 100000 boys
and girls in cities, large towns and In
dnstrial villages In the United States
cultivated gardens under school direc-
ton and supervision and produced
many millions Of dollars worth Of veg.
etables and small fruits to be con-
sumed where produced without cost
for transportation and handling and
without loss from deterioration on the
markets. There were many thousands
Of boys and girls who produced more
than $50 each In what would other
wise have been Idle time, and thou
sands Of acres of land that would have
lain idle IL 1t had not been cultivated
by the boys and girls yielded more than
$500 an acre.
The educational value to the chill
dren was far greater than the value
Of the food products. That value In
Guided health, physical vigor, habits Of
industry, knowledge Of plant life and
Of the phenomena and forces Of ma
ture, and the beginning Of the under
standing Of the fundamental moral
principle that every one should gladly
contribute to his own support by
his own labor.
"The United States bureau Of edu-
cation will not be able 70 follow up
this work this year as fully as 1t has
for several years past" writes P. P.
Claxton, United States commissioner
Of education, "but hope the interest
Of children, teachers. superintendent
and school boards will not lag and that
the time will soon come when this
School-directed home garden work will
ne recognized as a necessity and an
essential part Of the education Of chill
dren in all cities, towns and Industrial
Villages"

SHERIFF'S FORCES
GET EVIDENCE
Last Monday night Sheriff Andy
Murray and Undersheriff Long came
up from Washburn and journyed out
to the town of Russell where they
made a raid on the farm property of
Albert Strom, near Four Corners. In
the raid they secured moonshine
still and other paraphenalia, includ-
ing a quantity of moonshine liquor
and some mash. They took Strom
into custody and he is now confined
in the county Jail at Washburn.
Tuesday evening the local police
took Sam Hahn into custody and he
was taken to the ounty jail at
. Washburn by Undersheriff Long.
Hahn was arrested on the charge OF
assisting Strom in the manufacture
and distribution of the illegal booze.
1t !. is stated that he was operating
the still when the raid was made, but
escaped at that time.
Strom was out on bail, having been
previously arrested b ythe sheriff's
forces on similar charge and fol-
lowing a hearing was bound over
to the fall term of circuit court for
trial. He now faces complication
of charges, the manufacture and sale
of moonshine whiskey and the jump
ing of bail bond, which had been sup
piled by Ed. Baldwin in the first in
stance,
1t is presumed that the courts ac-
ton in dealing with the Strom case
will be severe throug the fact that
he again entered into the illegal ira
ffic while still out on bail, and he fac
es the probability of term in either
a state or federal prison for the of
fences.

end OF each bar is then welded to the
center of each U-shaped piece, hole
being bored at right angle to the
side Of the piece and through the legs.
A rivet is then inserted through the
hole in the round bar and legs Of the
u section. The rivet should be Of suf-
flcient tightness to allow the bar to
move freely up and down. Make a
guide out of piece of rectangular
iron bar, part of which should be

GREAT AID IN SAVING TIRES
Applying Brakes Very Hard Will Re-
suit in Tread Damage to Both Of
Rear Tires-Sharp Turns Are
Cause of Skidding.

Knowing how to stop when neces-
sary is considered of more Importance
than a knowledge of how to start the
engine. The use. of service and emer-
gency brakes is taught to the new car
owner early.
Being somewhat nervous and timid
the new driver may apply the brakes
very hard. with the result that one or
both of the rear tires will receive
tread damage. Locking the wheels
will not under all conditions Bring the
car to an immediate stop. The mo-
mentum and weight will frequently
cause the wheels to slide along for
a considerable distance and grind or

A Stitch In Time. Etc.
When ground down to the fabric In
this way the tread should be given
early attention to protect the fabric
from decay and weakening effect Of
moisture and to prevent dirt from
working under the rubber with prob
able separations of other tread por-
lions. 1t is we'll to inspect the inside
Of the case and repair any threads or
plies Of fabrics broken from strain.
Sharp quick turns or fast driving at
curves usually causes rear wheels to
slide end skid sideways. This not
only wears off the tread rubber quick
", but on account Of the unusual
strain is particularly harmful to the
fabric body of the tire.
It is recommended that the service
(foot) brakes be given occasional In
spection. Any difference I'm adjust

cred by lacking up rear axle so that
neither wheel rests on the ground,

stances excessive wear to the tread

Watch the Clutch
The clutch plays an important part
In the efficiency of the car and In the
service OF the tires. 1t is essential
therefore that the same be kept In
good order so that 1t will take hold

The usual style Of latch for garage

lows the doors to warp, which makes
them difficult to fasten. To avoid
this, the fastener shown in the sketch
was devised. The device consists of

inch thick steel lever working on "a
pivot on one door, washer being
placed between the door and the lever.

sides of the pivot, holes are bored.
Two U-shaped pieces are then made
out Of flat iron bars that are of suffi-
cient size to slide easily along the bar.

Points Of a Star.

Most Of US, IL asked how many
points star should have, would say
FIVE, and cite the Stars and Stripes as
proof; but the director of the United
States mint has corrected this mis-
apprehension in answering an inquiry
on the subject He calls attention to
the fact that the stars on the great
seal of the United States and on the
seal of the President are five-pointed,
but that the stars are six-pointed on
the seal Of the house Of representa-
tiyes; and further to the sixlpointed
stars on the diverse Of the half and
quarter-dOllar coins and the five
pointed stars on the reverse. The re-
verse Of these coins Is copy of the
great seal with the clouds and stars
omitted. So far as known, the six
pointed star comes from copying the
colonial coins made after the manner
Of English heraldry, which sanctions
that star. The stars on the flag are
copied from the Washington coat-of.

Cas- Fishing Fine Sport
lPayette Lake Starr

Anglers have been catching all
kinds of fish lately--squawfsh, suck
ers, perch, bull trout, redsides, silver
sides, ete.--but Jim Harris was the
first man to catch cat. The other
day he abandoned his fishing tackle
for short time, leaving his hook
baited On his return he was surpris-
ed to find 10 cat firmly hooked and
raising Ned with his S12 rod. Jim
grabbed what was left of the rod and
hollered for help. Deputy Game
Warden Lisenby, who draws a salary
from the fish and game department
because he has good looks and his
supposed knowledge of matters pisca-
torial, promptly responded to Jim's
first-aid summons, and together they
secured the catch. With much diff
Guilty, avoiding as far as possible the
sharp points Of the victim, they sue
ceeded in separating the cat from the
hooks By the simple process of cut
ting off the barbs As Jim's expert
ence in skinning cats is confined to
the acrobatic feats of his boyhood
days, he refused to go further in the
case, and turned the cat loose; and
the cat went right away from there.
Jim has sworn off on leaving a bait
ed hook on the sidewalk in front of
his store, and has put in whole week
trying to coax his fine, pedigreed, ar
istocratic white cat, "Rastus,n to come
back home. But "Rastus" is wise for
his years, and stayeth away anon.
And there is sorrow and mourning in
the Harris family for the cat that
cometh not back.

Tariff Taboo

Diana of the Ephesians was simply

member Alright, the populace main
tanned its clamor about her greatness
for about hours. But the devotees
Of the existing tariff seem prepared
to spend two months or two years in
proclaiming taboo upon it so that no
man may touch it with sacrilegious
hands. Any proposal to revise it or
TO amend it raises furious storm of
protest and detraction. All other
forms of revenue-raising taxation
may be monkeyed with at will, but
not the tariff. You may tax anything
else you please, excess profits, sales,

you must not lay a tax upon import
