AullS@AS Oul AlbGT hSCOTu III SttIG Ol
Memorial Day EmbIems.
. There will be fields and fields of
peoples in full bloom in Kansas on
Memorial Day. But the peoples in
Kansas will be blooming over the
hearts of loyal American men, women
and children, and they will be the out
ward and visible sign that the wearer
remembers that there are American
soldiers who did not come back and
who are still lying among those pop
pies, where they fell in the supreme
sacrifice.
The poppy is the blood symbol to
Americans and is the most fitting en-
blem which has yet been found to
mark Memorial Day The American
Legion and the American-Franco Chill
dren's league have been untiring in
their efforts in this state to see that
every town should have its full share
Of poppies Hundreds of thousands of
peoples are at the state headquarters
at 210 West Sixth avenue, American
Legion Post No. 1, and while orders
have been coming in by telephone and
telegraph, Mrs. c. J. Evans. the state
chairman, still believes that there are
some towns that have not been sup
piled.
Any responsible person in any com
munity can telephone to the state
headquarters, phone number 1893, and
peoples will be shipped at once, to be
paid for after the sale. All checks are
PAYABLE to H. H. Guild, treasurer of
the American Legion, Topeka
The committee in charge of the
drive is. anxious to make Kansas a
banner state and to make it possible
for every citizen so far as possible to
pin on the poppy.
Tonight there will be a meeting of
the committee and all of the captains,
who are to head the teams in Topeka,
at the state headquarters, 210 West
Sixth avenue, and any others inter-
ested, will be welcomed to attend.
Lest You forget our soldier dead,
pin on that poppy.

NEW WHEAT DISEASE FOUND.
Scientists Are Probing Nature of Foot
Rot Now Being Reported.

Manhattan, Kan. May ga recent
visit to Dickinson county, Kansas, has
revealed the fact that a number OF
fields in this county show the unques-

which had not heretofore been def

plants are dying out in spots in the
field, the plants turning yellow and
rotting at the ground at the first joint.
Later these plants, if they do not
die completely, will probably produce

DECREASES SHOW UP
WITH INCREASE IS PER
COMPARISONS ODIOUS WITH
RAISE ON REAL ESTATE
AND FURNITURE.

Homer E. Estes, county auditor, re-
ceived from the state board of equali-
cation, Wednesday, a statement of
the increases applicable to Latah
county on the assessments. The de-
creases are set forth by comparative
tables as compiled by the county
auditor as follows:
Assessments
Railroads 1921, $1,972,O52; 1920,
So, O67 ,412. Decrease $95,26O.
Telehone lines, 1921, $54,882.5O;
Telegram lines, 1921, $9,597. so;
1920, $9,976.32. Decrease, $378.82.
|$170,549.37. Decrease, $51 ,849.37.
Private car companies, 1921, 80, 4l5,-
SIS 3s3.97.
Subtracting the increase as above
and the total amount of decreases
amount to $138,884.66. The valuation
for 1921 was $21, 029, 1927 03. The valu-
alton for 1920 was 20,852, 628.49 or a
total increase for 1921 of SLIT ,298.49.
In is interesting to note the above
with the increase ordered by the state
equalization board of Is per cent on
real estate furniture and fixtures. The
assessment on real estate before the
order was made was $8,829, 315. With
an increase of Is per cent it totals,
$1,324,39725. On furniture and fix
lures the assessment before the order
was made was $42,245. But with
raise to Is percent the total goes
$6,33675. The total raise by the state
board amounts to ST. ,33O,734.

Moscow Is His Home.

C. j. Munson, federal land inspector
for this district, takes exception tc
the statement in last nights Star
Mirror that he is from Spokane. AS
a matter of fact Mr.. Munson, who is
one of this districts early-day resi-
dents and was active in the upbuild-
ing of this community has no thought
of making any other place his home.
To him there is no better nor dearer
spot on earth than Latah county We
are reminded in this connection, that
a republican convention in Latah
county wouldn't seem the same with
out Mr.. Munson's presence Second
to his interest in the growth and well
fare of the community is his interest
in the G. 0. p, of which he has al
ways been a most active member.

Cleveland, O., May 6.-Aggressive

by NJ. A. Oudin, of the International

The markets of the Far East con-
stitute the worlds greatest CONNER

poets successfully to compete with

marily in three directions. First, IL
must freely cooperate with native
business in local enterprises: second,
II must literally invest its surplus
capital in the development of indus
tries. natural resources and public
works: and finally, IL must insist that
American economic interest be upheld
by an American diplomacy as alert
and vigorous as that displayed by
other governments.
In carrying out this program, Chi
nese business should be made a part
ner. in investments we make in
Chinese resources and enterprises fol

should participate in legitimate cor-

husk. In the second place 1t per-
mits the selection of seed ears from
plants most free from disease. Re
cent investigations have shown that
corn diseases, especially root rot,
takes a tremendous toll and that
field selection is one way to get
seed most free from disease. The
corn sele cted should be from stalks
that mature normally or that are
still alive when the corn ripens.
One evidence of disease is prema-
ture dying of the stalk With the re-
suit that rough, chaffy ears are pro-
duced.
Selection, important as 1t is. how
ever, is only one-half the job. Dry
ing the corn promptly is even more
important for seed selected with the
greatest care may give unsatisfac-
tory results il given improper care.
Drying the ears by hanging them in
a well-ventilated barn where mice
cannot get to them is usually the
most satisfactory on the average
farm where there are few mouse
proof places.
