The big BOOSTER-GET-TO-G GET
HER dance which was scheduled for
March 17th, has been postponed until
April 1st--April Fools Day, but the
fact that it has been postponed does
not say that that will detract any
from the popularity of the event.
There were other dances scheduled for
March 18th, and for this reason the
Booster dance gave way to others so
that all people might have opportunity
to join in making the Booster dance

MEDBURY TELLS

Speaker Declares 81 Cents Out of
Every Dollar Paid Government

Des Moines, la. Nov. 9.--'Let the
people once thoroughly understand
how much of the money they pay to
the federal government goes for war
purposes and wars popularity will
slump far below its present low lev
ell" DIR. Charles Medbury told the
Iowa conference on Limitations OF
Armament, in the>opening address OF
the afternoon session.
1T has been computed" he said,
chat the average tax paid to the
government in 1920 by each person
was $43.64. How was this money
spent? Here is the answer: For wars
Of the past we spent 63.2 per cent
of the whole; in preparation of future
wars we spent 29.4 per cent of the
whole.
.sOut of every dollar paid to this
government by the American citizen
| in 1920, over 90 cents went to pur-
poses Of war. For civil departments
of our government we spent as per
cent. When we pass from war we
pass from billions.

bureau enumeration results made

Of the owned homes, 6,o2z' lily ro W ere

were encountered, while for the re-
mainihg, the status Of encumbrance
was not reported. The bureaus state

place" of single family and did not
therefore necessarily denote an entire

WHALES SPORT IN SPRING
When They Dance Fishermen Know
Season 10 Nigh.

SaO0u - Nt8Us
Capt. John HOvde, master of the
schooner Dick, back at Seattle after a
fishing cruise of II days, says that
1.-THE jumping salmon. the whales, the
looms and the flocks of seagulls are as
sure sign of spring at sea as pussy
willows and the daffodil are on land.
But the whales are bit too frisky
for comfort. While we were home
ward bound we sighted two big fellows
of Cape Flattery having a regular cir
Gus. They were frisking about like
couple of colts and would leap far out
of the water and fall on the waves
with great splash. They must have
been between 40 and SO feet long. In
stead Of diving into the water head
first when they came out of the air
the whales alight on their backs or
sides like hundred ton Of bricks
tossing up great swell. The two big
fellows were dangerously near US while
performing their antics; in fact, one
came almost alongside to look us
over"
Captain Hovde said the whales we're
the first he has seen this year. They
were sighted about 20 miles southwest
of Cape Flattery. The Dick brought
a catch Of 1000 pounds of halibut and
1900 pounds Of cod.

An important contribution 70 the scs.

from experiments with "black light"
or invisible light rays, now being con-
Quoted by War department experts. II
was learned recently.
Maj. Gen. George o. Squier, chief
signal officer Of the army and radio
expert of international repute, for
months has been giving attention to
the subject, and experiments he has
conducted thus far have proved almost
uniformly successful.
"Black light" the general explained.
''is the name that has been given to
light rays OF greater wave length
than those at the red end OF the spec.
trum, Or OF lesser length than those
at the violet end. The construction
Of the eye ts such that these rays make
no impression on the optic nerve, and
they are therefore invisible under or
binary conditions. Nevertheless they
are generated by every candle. hmp
or other source of light, and scientists
have devised unquestionable methods
Of determining their presence.
The "black light" signaling system
az now conceived may be likened to
the ordinary heliograph used In the
army, except that invisible light rays
are used instead OF the flash of sun
light. as projected by mirrors. The
advantage in time Of war of the In
visible system, practically Incapable
of interception, over the heliograph. ia
obvious. A further advantage lies In
the fact that, unlike the heliograph, the
"black light" rays can be generated
artificially and therefore are not sub
ject to weather conditions.

PLANES VS.. SHIPS

A direct hit by a 1863 pound bomb
from an airplane sent the U-117, q
former German submarine, to the bot
tom of the ocean in the trial tests on
June 81.
Sixteen minutes after the attack be-
gan the submarine was out of sight.
In the first attack three bombs were
used, all of which landed near the
boat. Nine bombs, three from each
plane, were launched in the second at
tack, which did the work. The air.
planes kept at height of 1900 feet
above the object of attack.
The exhibition was designed to
prove the assertion of air experts that
the great battleship is thing of the
past. More experiments will probably
be made. One of the uncertainties
still to be studied is what would be the
result il the hostile ship were equipped
with anti-aircraft guns and other pro
tective devices.
Certainly in such case the air
planes could not have come within
l 200 feet.

WASHINGTON, d. c. - A joint
commission Of five senator's and five
house members has been formed TO
study the agricultural situation with
respect to possible legislation.
Hearings win Be held in different
parts Of the country, and the report is
expected to be ready within so days.
The following points will be covered
IN the commissions Investigations:
l. Causes Of the present condition
IN agriculture.
2. Causes Of differences between the
prices paid the producer and the prices
paid BY the ultimate consumer.
3. Comparative condition Of indus
tEtes other than agriculture.
4. Relxtion Of prices s6f other com
Mpdities to the prices Of farm prod
ucts.
8. Banking and financial resources
and credits Of the country affecting
agriculture.
Senator Lenroot, conservative, from
Wisconsin, is to head the commission
Hence even If progressive like Sen
.stor Ladd or Norris or La Toilette
10 added to it, there is little doubt as
10 what the result will be.
The great purpose Of machine poll
ticians at the present time is to quiet
the farmers and keep them as good
old party men. If anything is done
Of worth for the farmers it will be just
enough for talking points and not
enough to meet any serious nrohlem
Our best hope lies in getting q good
minority report from one or two indie
pendents on the commission.

THE SHIP MYSTERY

The disappearance Of nine small
ships OF our southern coast has given
the newspaper plot makers their
greatest opportunity since wagon
load Of carelessly and illegally han
died dynamite exploded in Wall street
. year ago.
First they came out with pirates as
the explanation, and since Bolsheviks
are the worst people in the world the
tame pirate theory gave way to head
lines of "Bolshevik Pirate Plot I'm
covered" A number Of government
departments appear to be willing to
feed the newspapers with enough
vague suggestions to enable the plot
makers to trace the missing ships d.
rectly to North Russian ports.
It would be like other plots Of a
similar nature, important IL true. 1t
would indeed be remarkable that ma
ton using every effort to restore trade
and friendly relations with US would
be engaging in pirate expeditions
against Us.
On the other hand, there 10 strong
reason for believing that the decline
in ocean freight business has left the
insurance on little freighters worth
more than the ships themselves. Our
guess 10 that the marine insurance
companies will make mbre careful in.
vestigations than do the Bolshevik
hunting newspapers before the insur.
ance money 10 paid.
