Restrictions Concerning Wearing Of U. S.
Uniforms.

To preserve the dignity of the army,
navy and marine uniforms, the de-
partment of justice of the United
States, Washington, D. O., has sent
out instructions to all United States
marshals regarding the law regulat-
ing the wearing of the uniform.
These instructions have been receiv-
ed by local federal officials and it is
probable that immediate action will
be taken to see that the provisions of
the act are observed.
There are certain provisions which,
if complied with, make it possible for
persons not in the service to wear
army coats, hats and overshoes. The
law provides that men not in the
service may not wear what is dis
tinctive parts of the regulation uni
form. The distinctive parts are
classified as follows: Uniform butt
tons, cap ornaments. collar insignia
of rank and grade, white and olive
drab caps, hat cords, overcoats, off,
cers' white coats, army nurses over
coats and capes. Parts not consider
ed distinctive are: Underclothing,
trousers, shirts, socks, breeches, leg
gings, shoes, boots, working clothes
OF denim, raincoats, puttees, hats,
gloves and cravats. A hat is not
considered distinctive, and may be
worn, provided the hat cord is left
off. An army overcoat may be worn,
provided the buttons are changed
and the coat.dyed an entirely diff
ferent color.

'Let Washington Do It."

The federal trade commission has
been investigating marketing prob
lens of the country and now proposes
federal action. That might have
been predicted. Let any federal body
tackle any problem, from the vend-
ing of garden sass to the enforcement
of the ten commandments, and it will
propose federal cure.
The federal trade commission wants
federal markets in all the great dis
tributing centers and a federal licens-
ing system with federal regulation.
The commission holds that state and
municipal authorities lack adequate
power to regulate the handling of
food supplies, and,. though state and
local authorities in corporation with
railroads might accomplish the ends
sought, the commission believes this
plan does not hold out much hope
for satisfactory solution of the
problem.
Maybe so. But wouldn't 1t be
worth while to give it a trial before
adding more complicated duties to
the tremendous tasks OF the central
government?
Power seeks, more power. About
every federal agency is pressing on
all possible occasions for an expan-
sion of it's own functions and an in
crease of it's powers. Impatient re-
formers, with eager eyes for evils tc
be cured aud vision extending to the
end of their noses, are always run
ming to Washington to get theil
particular plaster pasted on the body
polite. It's spectacular and COM
paratively simple. Meantime, there
is no organized resistancel in the in
terest of local initiative, local authori
ty, local autonomy.
The result of this tendency will, oi
course, be the complete ruin of oul
American system of balanced central
and local functions. 1t will be the
growth of central machine 30 COM
plex and ponderous as to be not only
inefficient but paralyzing. Politica
power will mass about it. Bureau
cracy will fossilize government. Fed
eral regulation win spread into al
activities and dominate them where
ever possible. Even in compare
lively small country, like France,
Capitalization has been an evil OF fret
rank. In this great country it woult
be worse than the plaques Of Egypt.
Every proposal for an increase o
federal functions and federal powe
should be compelled to establish .
least strong prima facie case for 1t
self. It should never be accepted
until the inadequaoy Of alternative
has been demonstrated. The view
point Of the trade commission is no
this. 1t virtually assumes the failur

Fight the Blue Laws.
GILLIAN Globe.)


An effort will be made during the
present session of Congress to revive
the old blue laws of Colonial days,
and make a Sunday closing law in
America that will be more drastic
than anything ever attempted before.
Under the proposed law, all railroads,
street cars and other public utilities,
such as water works and electric
light plants will have to stop at mid
night on Saturday. Theatres, picture
shows, parks, and other places OF
amusement and recreation will have
the lid clamped on tight. 1t will even
be unlawful for physician to make
professional call on Sunday or a
dentist to relieve an aching molar,
even if by so doing, he could stop
the overflow of profanity that usually
accompanies a roaring jawbone.
Motor car owners will not be allowed
to drive their cars except to church
where the services will have to be
opened by the sheriff, who will see
that everyone goes straight home
from the meeting house. Nothing
will be allowed to interfere with the
day of rest, even the preacher will
be arrested if the sermon happens to
be tiresome while the wife will have
to leave the Sunday dishes unwashed,
to be done with the family linen on
Monday morning. There are many
people who will laugh and say that
no such legislation can pass. Don't
get that into your system, for it is
backed by the same gang that forced
the iniquitous Volstead law through
Congress and feeced Uncle Sam out
of fifty millions to perpetuate their
salaries, that were about to be stop
ped, by the coming national prohibi-
ton. The men who are behind Sun
day closing are not doing it because
of any reverence they have for Gods
day of rest. They are as cold
blooded set of political schemers
and tricksters as ever lobbied be-
fore Congress, and they are doing it
because such, law will create an
other army of enforcement officers
for the heavily burdened taxpayers
to support. They don't care rap
about Sunday. No man who has the
love of God in his heart will do un-
necessary work on Sunday, neither
will he interfere with anyone else
who works either from choice or
necessity, for God does not need to
have His Commandments enforced
by legislation and he generally wills
that the man who works on Sunday
does not prosper. If Congress does
not stop listening to the fools and
cranks who have stopped preaching
the gospel of the Nazarene to lobby
before Congress to try to make men
righteous by the law, it will not be
long before the reaction against them
will set in and public sentiment,
which has been blindly supporting
them for several years, will turn
against them and it will be so strong
that the pendulum will swing too far
in the opposite direction and the
saloon and its attendant evils come
back. There is real danger that the
blue Sunday law will pass Congress,
but thank the Lord, Missouri has two
senators who will have manhood
enough to stand against it. We must
get behind them before it is too late.

New York Tribune as saying: "The
real reason for this is that no party,
if it can help it, is going to permit
any new administration to come in
and find all the bureaus occupied for
the next few years." The Tammany
theory of government could not be
expressed more felicitously by Charles
F. Murphy himself. The Lodge ref

Holding Up Nominations.

When Congress adjourned last spring
more than 200 nominations were held
up by the Senate, including the ap-
pointments to the Interstate Com
merce Commission authorized by the
Esch- Cummings act. The total num-
ber has now increased to thousands,
and the Republican leaders of the
Senate have announced that none of
them will be confirmed. Included in
the hold-up were thousands of army
appointments, but Senator Under
wood has finally induced the Senate
to permit the consideration of these
nominations. All civilian appoint
ments, however, are consigned to
the senatorial waste basket, including
nearly 1000 postmasterships which
are under the civil service.
Few of the nominations that the
Senate is holding up are partisan in
any sense. Most of them are routine
appointments. No claim is made in
any instance of unfitness on the part
Of the men named by the President
In many cases the appointee that the

Planting Time in Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 81. A
special survey of planting time for
Missouri crops has just been COM
pleted by E. A. Logan. Agricultural
Statisticisn of the U. s. Department
of Agriculture, and Jewell Mayes,
secretary of the Missouri Board of
Agriculture, which indicates that
Missouri farmers are busily engaged
in planting some kind of crop each
month during the entire year except
November, December and January.
However, during July and August
there is only small percentage as
these are "harvest" months.
Planting for each year really begins
in the fall before with the seeding of
winter wheat and rye in September
and October, also a considerable por-
ton of alfalfa and timothy are sown
at this time. In February, planting
again begins with the sowing of
clover, timothy and blue grass seed.
Work commences in earnest in March
with the planting of oats, barley and
potatoes, while the real rush comes
in April when corn planting is begun
and continues through May and into
June. Crowded into this busy sea-
son is the seeding of soybeans, kaffir
corn, sorghum cane, and broom corn,
not to mention the garden crops
which must be put out from early in
March to late in June.
During May and June, Missouri
farmers usually sow cowpeas and
millet, while the only crops sown to
any large extent in midsummer are
buckwheat in July and turnips in
July and August. All of this work
must be done at the proper time else
bountiful harvests seldom follow seed
time.
" Upon the completion of corn plant
ing in June, harvesting of wheat,
oats, and hay follow in quick success
sion, and in the fall the gathering of
corn crowds upon the finish of wheat
seeding and often lasts until late in
December.
To the unthinking, farming appears
to be shit and miss game" but it
requires planning and the investment
of capital with the employment OF
much skill along months ahead OF
"cashing in time" "just as it does in
the lines of industrial production.

THOUGH IN ASYLUM
O'Bannon's Nine Notes Con-
tested by Holders Who Got
Them in Business Deals.

John w. O'Bannon promoter who
amassed considerable money in the war.
and was adjudged incompetent last year,
is defendant through his committee in a
suit filed yesterday in the Supreme
Court for S165,000. This sum is the face
value OF nine notes made by the Inter-
national Rubber Company of which he
is president, and irdorsed by him.
Tne plaintiffs are the executors of
Theodore ID. Palmer, who received "in
the ordinary course OF business" be-
tween May, 1920--when O'Bannon was
declared incompetent--and the end Of
last January. The committee of OBan-
mons property has legal right to pay
the notes on receiving proof that they
were made for value and that O'Ban-
mons estate profited through them
O'Bannon, who was committed to an
asylum two months before he was de-
clared incompetent by sheriffs jury.
endeavored at that time to convince the
jury Of his sanity by showing that he
had added $4,000 600 to his fortune In
the short time he had been in the asy-
lum.
O'Bannon explained that he had begun
his business career on nothing, but
within ten years after going to work
had saved $50. 900 out Of commissions he
made. He invested 1t all in his inven-
ton Of a process for making artificial
leather. Later he formed the O'Bannon
Corporation. the International Rubber
Company, and tho Maxim Munitions
Company, which did a large business In
metals and chemicals In the war; His
estate is estimated at from $4,000 to
