SOIL MEN CARRY ON WORK
IN SOUTHERN IDAHO

Professors R. E. Neidig and G. r.
McDole are in southern Idaho conduct
ing an investigation of some of the
more important soil problems of that
section of the state. A special call
for advice has come from Long Val
ley where a condition of soil acidity
is apparently interfering with the
most successful results in crop pro-
duction. In case corrective treatment
is found necessary limestone deposits
in this valley may be found useful for
the purpose.
Investigational work. is under way
on the Caldwell Satisfaction to deter

Elkton and Bookings crossed bats

The hard hitting of the Brookings boys
was the cause of their victory. Lovely

safe bingles, while Lee of Volga, who
pitched for Bookings held Elktonites
down at all times. Batteries-Brook-
ings, Lee brothers; Elkton, Lovely,
Bendt and Timm. A poor field helped
Bookings win, too, as Elkton could
not bring enough luck to her side to
cop the hits. The fact that Bookings
players were dressed in uniform and
the Elkton boys in their Sunday best
might have something to do with the
result.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY J. Z. Jones.

Before the war. according to the tar
III commissions report of 1915, there
were exactly seven concerns engaged
In making dyes in the United States.
In the 1920 report, after six years of
total embargo, there were shown So.
An Ohio dye manufacturer told the
senate finance committee that "this
talk about German dyes being superior
to those made in America Is pro bunco
publico." He said that the American
dye manufacturers are making fine
Roadway In establishing the industry
In this country. Germany, the witness
declared, Is carrying on a campaign
of propaganda defaming the American
made dyes. He told the senators: IF
you don't give US an embargo, please
give us time to liQuidate u business
Il has been brought out in the hear
lngs that Great Britain. France. Italy
and Japan have either imposed an en-
barge against German dyes or a licens-
Ing system to protect their W dye
industries. The concerns that have
invested millions of dollars in the in
Illstry In the United States now stand

PRETTY HOME WEDDING

Hamlin County Republican, pretty
and impressive wedding was solem
nized on Thursday, September 1, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Reid on Alice street at high noon
when their daughter Phyllis became
the bride of George l. Gilbertson OF
Brookings.
The ceremony was conducted by
Rev. Allen l.. Curtis. The musical
program preceding the ceremony con-
sisted of a nocturne played upon the
violin by Prof. Carl Christensen of
State college and the Mendelssohn
wedding march on the piano played by
Mrs. Horace Jones of Brookings "a
former classmate of the bride.
The bride was gowned in white stain
and wore a veil of white tulle and
carried a shower bouquet of bridal
roses. sweetheart roses and lilies of
the valley. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Harriet Reid, who wore
a dress of jade cantor crepe and car
ried a beautiful bouquet Of Ophelia
roses. The best man was Mr.. Ray
Bunday of Brookings.
After the vows had been spoken the
contracting parties and friends sat
down to tables decorated in pink and
white with roses and smilax, and were
served a delicious luncheon by the
Misses Vera Sour, Susan Schmit, Ber-
nice Sibert and Eva Walkin.
After luncheon Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
son departed for a honeymoon auto
trip to Colorado and other points.
Their home will be in Bookings where
the groom is an instructor in State
college.
Out of town guests were Mrs. Mar
tina Gilbertson and daughters, Johanna,
Mary and Gurena, mother and sisters
Of the groom; Prof. and Mrs. H. c.

sen, Mrs. L. c. Dewing and daughters

Their friends are legion and they 90 to
their new home with best wishes from
all the community.

Infant industries" Steel, wool, cot
ton, wood and ~earthenware manufac.
turers were accorded preferential tar
if legislation in the past, with the re-
suit that we now lead the world in
some of u manufactures that once
were weak and struggling.
The dye tariff is the s~torm-center in
the tariff hearings. Importers of Ger
man dyes have boldly appeared in the
foreground as the opponents of the
proposed embargo; and no one seems
to attach any significance to the fact
that a former congressman, and rich
from trading in German dyes, has
made the biggest noise Of all against
American dyes. Patient America gives
such occurrences first-page space. in its
newspapers, and a whole lot of tickle
citizens echo the cry that "they want
German dyes because they are better
than We can make" This pathetic
display Of bad memory seeks to re-
verse the things we said during the
war about what we would do to the
commerce of Germany after the war.
It costs about two cents at the pres
emit time to dye a dozen pair Of socks,
and hfty cents covers the cost of
dyefng a suit of clothes. so that there
Is no evidence that the American pub
lie q been made to suffer any ter
rible hardships because German dyes
have been shut out Of this country.

gress, and before the money Is voted
the same senator would like to have
a general investigation Of road opera
tons throughout the United States to
determine the truth Of his claim that
the appropriations made by congress
have been used and expended "in an
~extravagant and wasteful manner"
1t is fair to say that the views of
Senator King do not represent the
general attitude of official Washing
ton, and he will have plenty of trou-
BILE with his resolution, before he is
able to convince his colleagues from
states that have the best kind of
roads that the work is not being well
and conscientously done.
The war finance corporation has
been empowered by congress to issue
bonds for 1900, OOO, 900, and use a
billion dollars Of the money to aid
the farmers in exporting their prod
ucts. There vas a lot Of talk in con
gress about this legislation, and all
hoped that it would be helpful to the
farmers in their present difficulties.
The movement Of agricultural crops
in the domestic markets and overseas
to foreign consumers has been very
heavy in recent months. and this is
likely TO be still further accelerated by
the opening of the government purse
strings for the purpose of financing
the farmers. The heavy crop move
ments at the greatly depressed prices
indicate that the farmers Of the cOun-
try who have been holding their grain
standing the depressed markets. The
Chicago stock yards have recently
been receiving more cattle than they
could handle, and they have been ask
ing producers not to continue the
heavy shipments. The whole process
Of farm business indicates that the
farmers have their backs to the wall,
and must get money, no matter how
great may be their sacrifices.
1t seems probable that the farming
interests are expecting too much from
the recent legislation referred to
above. The billion dollars Of author
lied financing is not likely to effect
the prices of produce; since it repre-
sents merely a form of banking on
a large scale. The cotton growers of
the south have apparently been great
ly helped by the government financing,
as it has made it possible for them
to get their cotton to Europe. The
farmers as a whole will also be great
ly benefited by the financial legisla-
ton, but it is clear that what they
most is higher prices. And that
is something that congress does not
to be able to furnish.
The Illinois committee on public
utility information figues that in Chi
alone, residents of the city save
%, $50, 000, 900 minutes daily through
use of the telephone.

THE COMPENSATION BILL

We talked about the bonus bill last
night down to the store,

boys a little sore;
But Old Eph has, fer all his years, a

An when the others all got through,
Eph he jes' up an said:
you fellers think you're mighty

An runnin' down the soldier boys who
went an fit our fight.
The Manhood Of our Nation and
Our Heroes'-names like these
Is what you called our young folks
when they sailed fer overseas.
An now they're buns and 'shiftless
boys these lads tibet fit fer you;
Why. they don't ask fer charity but
jes' fer what's their due.
BY cracky! Makes me mad the way
these Congress fellers balk
An compensate the vet'rans with a
lot of bunkim talk.
The cost? If we're so blamed hard up
where do W. get the dough
To build the warships, guns an sech
is what l want to know.
A couple first class battleships, if we
get at the fac's,
Would pay the compensation bill an
never raise a tax!
But say we need the ightin' ships
an we might have to pay
A little more, do you suppose 'twould
break us up? Why say,
1t wouldn't cost more than the flags
we used to buy an wave
When the boys was marchin' off-per-
haps to fill a nameless gravel"
By golly, say, the boys jes' up an

told US to and they said you weren't

And the second voices said the first
voices were very wicked. which they
really, really were.
But 1t was frightful IN the woods,
hearing the different voices telling US
to go different ways"
"Of course 1t was" said Mrs. Wood
Eli. And I will explain those voices
to you"

forgive us for doubling you for a mo-
ment, dear Mrs. Wood Elf"
"Of course I WILL" said Mrs. Wood

voices are.
You find out about those voices
when you come a%dventuring and some
times when you don't adventure at

You're apt to find them anywhere.
They never appear themselves, for they
can't. They're only voices. You fol-
lowed the right ones, the ones who are
followers OF those two brothers, Hon.
esty and ~Faithfulness.
"But If you had followed the wrong
ones, who, it is true, said they were
right, you wouldn't have found me or
any n to help you on your journey
for goodness knows how long! Maybe
years!
"The first voices, or the wrong
voices, are all ruled over by a creature
named Doubt, whose lord high chan
cellor Is named Unhappiness.
Doubt Is a very curious creature.
He has hands and arms and legs and
feet and a face and a body, but he has
no heart at all, and so he got hold Of
Unhappiness, and together they rule
the voices which sound in the ears Of
people who are going forth on adven-
lures, as well as in those Of persons
who are not!
Doubt sees that his subjects do
their best to make folks doubt their
friends, to make them believe that
their friends are never unselfish. He
makes people ellie that all charities
are fakes and that all kind people are
being kind only for what they can get
out of being kind themselves.
Sometimes, when he does happen
to be right, he Is In his element, and
then he tries to get a lot Of followers.
For instance, when a charity is a fake,
or when a person has not been a true
friend, he hurries his voices around
and they say:

So keen have these foreigners been
to maintain this trade with America
that, it will be remembered, even after
the war began in Europe, Captain
Koenig, Of the German submarine
Deutschland" bobbed up in Baltimore
one Sunday morning with his subma-
rine filled with German dyes for the
American importers, and 10Y some of
these same importers are now repre-,
senting the German interests before
congress.
The director of the bureau of mines,
department of the interior, declares
that the development of our national
dye industry will not only mean fu-
ture independence from Germany but,
more important still, the utilization
Of u own raw products and the de-
velopment of associated industries
that are vitality tied up with dye pro-
duction." DR.. Manning mentions the
close connection Of the industry 20
nitrates, fertilizers and ammunitions;
and among the ~by-products resulting
are tar for roads, paving materials,
roofing, w~aterproofng materials, pro-
tective coatings, insulating materials,
f1avoring extracts, artificial perfumes,
Photographic developers and wood
~preservatives. DR.. Manning warns
that If the German vat dyes are
brought into this country in quantity
that ''the new industry would have
no chance of existence
The age-old controversy about the
wisdom Of tariffs still goes on, but
the discussion that has been carried
on in Washington in the attempt to
let the German dye manufacturer
crawl back into our good graces,
seems to leave a very definite i'm.
preston on the capital that if the
republican principle Of a protective
tariff, and the American weapon of
an embargo for commercial purposes,
has any merit at all, that the place
to begin in applying It's operation is
in finishing up the good work in be-
half of establishing the manufacture
of American dyes that has been get.
ting under way since the day We went
to war.
There Is a lurking notion in Wash.
ington that a lot of the federal aid
money for highways is being wasted
in many Of the states. Possibly this
impression is partly due to the fact
that senators and representatives are
prevented from giving their physical
presence to the demonstrations of eff.
fciency made by federal. state and
district inspectors. whose business 1t
Is to check up on the work Of county
and town highway oficials. In any
event there Is a good deal of the
