THREE JUDGES UNANIMOUS.

All OF the acts of bravery perform
ed during the past twelve months
were considered by the three judges
and they were unanimous in their de-
cisions to award the Crippen medal to
Detective Sergeant Scrivener and the
Giles-Griffth medal to Private Neu-
man.
After deciding that Scrivener and
Neuman should receive the medals,
the judges wrote upon these mems
record: Awarded The Washington
Times gold medal for bravery in
1920" and each OF the judges signed
this notation.
The gold medals are the property OF
the two men to whom they were
awarded. The Washington Times
will preserve the dies from which the
medals were cast and will annually
present duplicates of the medals to
the fireman and policeman designated
by a committee of judges.
The Washington Times motive in
awarding these medals was to accord
recognition to the heroic members OF
the two departments, and at the same
time furnish an incentive for the
faithful performance OF duty.

4 SUGGESTION

Records in the office of Fire Chief George
Watson show that more than fifty persons we're
rescued by courageous tremen during the year of
1920.
The Washington Times wishes to offer the sug
gestion that these rescued men and women get to-
gether and entertain the heroic tIemen at dinner
or banquet and thus accord them public recogni-
ton.
Under the rules of the Fire Department the
fremen cannot accept gifts, but Fire Chief Wat
son approves the idea OF entertaining the tIemen
at feast

times that the League has misappro- priated this money. AS matter of fact, this money has not been used and every cent of it will be paid back to the contributors with interest
 When the League made the audit of the Arkville Company's books, it was stated by the local directors that the assets were considerably in eX- cess of the creditors claims, but claims kept coming in, of which the League knew nothing and because Of poor bookkeeping by the local plant had no way of finding out. These claims more than wiped out the val uation of the plant. In the face of these facts that the local association has not made good under it's agree ment, it could not expect the Dairy mems League Cooperative Associa- tion to assume all the burdens of the local association, some of which could have been avoided had the management accepted the advice of the League experts. Had the direc- tors of the League gone ahead in the face of these conditions, it would have penalized all of the members of the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association, whose interests they are bound to protect.

Heedign Market Demands

Shippers of potatoes would proht by needing market demands and pre- ferences, say specialists of the Blu reau of Markets, United States De- partment of Agriculture. Dealers and consumers, they find, do not de sire badly cut, mashed, frosted, or decayed potatoes, or those damaged by sunburn, blight, dry rot, or an ex- cess of scab or second growth. Mar kets frequently are overloaded, it is said, prices seriously affected, and unnecessary losses suffered by grow CTS because of the shipment of such unsatisfactory stock.

LEAGUE EXPLAINS THE
 ARKVILLE, SITUATION
Antagonistic Interests Have Made Much of the
 Situation

Because of the many misstate- ments put out by interests antagonis- tic to the Dairymen's League about the Leagues relations to the Dela- ware & Greene Cooperative Cream cry Company at Arkville, the Lea que believes that the public would be interested in knowing the real facts.
 In the spring of 1919, the League received an inquiry from the Della ware & Greene Cooperative COm- pany for information as to what the Leagues plans were for taking over local plants. Two men from the League visited the Arkville plant, and after going over the inadequate books which the company had kept of it's operations, they told the di- rectors of the company that it was headed for the rocks. The Arkville men took exception to this statement and said that they were capable of running their own business.
 At this time the League found that the sales agent of the company was selling cream at $20.00 can when it was actually worth $26.50 to be made into butter. They found con- densed milk being sold much below the market price. They found that the company was badly involved with outstanding debts and very badly managed. The matter was dropped until the Spring of 1920, when the League was asked to take over the Arkville plant.
 Efforts were made immediately to save the operation from bankruptcy and the League finally decided to take over the plant on two condi- tions. The first was hat the local dairytmen should subscribe S8O,0O0 for certificates of indebtedness which should be used as working capital. This is one of the requirements the organization has for taking over any plant into the cooperative organiza- tion. The second requirement was that not less than 30,000 pounds of milk should be delivered .laily, this being necessary for an efficient op- eration. Neither of these conditions has ever been met. The amount of milk delivered never came ID to the 3O,0O0 pounds and some of the time was not over 5000. The total amount of money raised was 357,375 Statements have been made many

Locating a Market

Many public municipal markets have failed through being improper ly situated, it has been found by the Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture. A retail market should be centrally located in or near as possible to the main shopping esction, where street car facilities are good, specialists say. On such a site the public mar ket would be available to the great est possible number of people.

Inspe ction Certificates

Furnished on Request
 The grower who ships perishable food products to large market cen ters no longer needs to depend en- tirely on the statement of a commits sion dealer or other receiver as to the quality and condition of the shipment on it's arrival at market. Food products inspectors of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture, upon application, inspect ship ments of perishables at certain mar- ket centers and issue certificates stating the quality and condition of the shipment on it's arrival. These certificates are accepted as prima facie evidence in all courts of the United States in any legal action that might result in case of dispute be- tween interested parties. A nominal charge for the inspection is made by the food products inspection service, depending upon the amount of pro duce inspected.

Sunshade on Implements
 A Valuable Aid to Rider

A Valuable Aid to Rider
 A sunshade over the seat of a rid ing cultivator or other farm imple- ment adds but little to the cost and makes the work jess irksone, the United States Department of Agrj- culture advises. Such appliances should not be regarded as devices of the lazy. To do work in a jaborious or fatiguing manner when it may be done equally as well and ae quickly in a pleasant way is folly. It lessens the laborer's capacity for work by exhausting his energy, so 1ha@ he can do less than he woull be capable of doing were he to perform # in an easier way. No worker is more en- titled to the advantages of m"cnani- cal devices that will ease his labor or increase his comforts than he who produces the food supply of the world.

Carefully organized, efficiently managed, Loyalty support ed, cooperative organizations can perform the services rendered by these men in a more satisfactory manner, and in so doing shorten the distance between the farm and the consumer.

Poor Tubers Reduce Profits

Every rotten, frozen, or under grade potato that is loaded and every potato spoiled while in transit or in storage reduces the growers profits and means a waste of time and labor, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It a'so means a waste of time and labor for every person handling it, g waste of ca2 space, and consequently it amounts to an appreciah!e loss to the com munity as a whole. Through it's markets inspection service, the de- partment is trying to eliminate this waste.

Grower Should Visit Market

Many times a personal visit to the market will more than repay the shipper for the cost of the trip, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Points that seem trivial to the producer often are very i'm portant to the dealer. Such a visit enables the grower to acquaint himself personally with the distribu- tors, to select trustworthy represen- tatives, to learn the difficulties of the ''man at the other end," and to inn prove his marketing practices.

OF MANHATTAN
COMING TO KENWORTHY

| Winsome Elaine Hammerstein will
appear in what is said to be the most
dramatic role of her entire career
when her latest Selznick Picture, "The
Miracle of Manhattan is shown at
the Kenworthy theatre Wednesday.
Distinctly novel is the construction
of plot of Bradley Kings photoplay
and the Se1znick producing forces un-
der direction of George Archainbaud
have exerted every effort to make
this picture one Of outstanding in
terest.
The story in brief, relates to a
strange wager made between Evelyn
Whitney, a gilded society butterfly
and Mary Malone destitute girl who
is on the point Of starvation. The
woman Of wealth claims that she can
start from exactly the position the
other woman Is in and maintain her
self for two mouths. The results of
this strange pact are most unexpect-
ed and the young woman in short
time finds herself in most danger
GUS position in which her life itself
is In danger. The outcome of it all
is shown in series of very dramatic
scenes and the final climax is both
original and surprising.

TESTS DEATH ENGINE
New Flying Torpedo Would Hole
Cities at Its Mercy.
Remarkable Aircraft Is Mechanically
Controlled and Is Said to Be Most
Deadly Aerial Weapon Ever
Constructed.

New York.-A successful mechan-
ically controlled flying torpedo, des-
tined, it is believed, to revolutionize
land and sea warfare, has been de-
veloped for the United States army
and navy air services. In secret test
the remarkable aircraft, said to be
| the most important aerial weapon ever
constructed, flew over New York city
and two Eastern states.
The flying torpedo colfd easily have
wrought great destruction to lower
Manhattan had it been loaded at the
time, according to war officials at
Washington Experiments with this
machine have been carried on for sew
eral months in Chesapeake bay, In
New Jersey, and Ohio, but under the
strictest secrecy, not more than 100
persons in the entire country having
knowledge of it.
The aerial torpedo has already made
upward of 100 flights, approximately
5000 miles in the air. Its develop
ment, according to the experts means
that coastal Notifications are made
obsolete.
Attacking in large numbers, ma
chimes Of this type will be able to an
initiate cities with incendiary explO-
sives and poison gases, without loss Of
a single life to the attacking forces
experts declare In actual warfare,
the flying torpedoes will be guided
through the air to their targets with
out a soul on board.
In it's flight over New York city
few weeks ago, the experimental fly
ing torpedo made an unexpected land
ing near a small town in eastern Penn
sylvania This landing attracted lit
tie attention at the time.
The test flight on that occasion was
begun from a landing ground near
New York city After the engine was
started, the machine ran short dis
lance across the field took the air sue
cessfully, and climbed to the prede-
termined altitude 1t then set its course
due west, straight into a stiff head
wind.

HIS HOUNDS RIDE IN AUTO
Coyote Hunter in South Dakota
, Makes Money Killing Animals
for Bounty.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Albert Warden
of the Wall district of western South
Dakota, which is situated in the ia
nous Bad Lands region, which
abounds with many coyotes, has
adopted unique and effective meth
cd Of capturing and killing coyotes,
and is making money by killing the
animals for the bounty offered for
them
Warden does his coyote hunting on
a scientific basis. He makes his raids
on the animals In motortruck, with
a cage In the rear for his pack of
hounds. He travels around the coun-
try in the truck until he locates one
or more coyotes. Then he pulls a
rope that opens trapdoors in the cage
and thus releases his hounds, which
instantly take up the chase, soon run
ming down the prey.
BY transporting the hounds In the
cage they are always fresh and ready
for the chase.

SWINGING BACK
TO LIVESTOCK

While it is probable that wheat
will be the principal source of license
income on the average Palouse coun-
try farm for many years to come, and
possibly for all time, the fact remains
that there is strong tendency now
toward more livestock on the farm.
In past years, previous to the abnOr-
NAL price of all food stuff, caused by
war conditions, the farmer in the
Moscow district derived no little reve-
nue. from his COWS, a few sheep and
hogs, and few horses. The high
price at which wheat sold for a few
years, coupled with the almost pro-
hibitive price of feed, caused him to
dispose Of practically all Of his live
stock and to devote his attention to
his wheat fields. The pendulum is
slowly but surely swinging back to-
ward the herd and the flock, of size
in keeping with the Palouse country
conditions, and an era of substantial
prosperity is certain to follow this
change, it is generally believed, both
by farmers and business men.
AS an indication of the trend to-
ward more livestock, and especially
toward the keeping Of more dairy cat
tie on the farms in the vicinity of
Moscow, The Star-Mirror is informed
by Ralston Butterfield, of the firm Of
Butterfield & Elder, that his company
is now selling more dairy equipment
than for a number of years past.
There is steady increase in the de-
mapd for cream separators, stalls,
stanchions and feed grinders This
same condition is said to exist with
all concerns selling dairy equipment
The result, naturally, of this change
in the methods of farming will be a
more steady income throughout the
year and better wheat crops, due to
the building up of the soil by market
ing much Of the products of the farm
through livestock
