PeOnP Pants CauseW
1en1bOruryStYikeOf
Shdents At Dallas

Dallas, Nov. 22-Great was the
excitement that prevailed in Dal-
las Tuesday-all day. The morale
of the entire city was disrupted
turmoil reigned supreme-the ma
1esty of the school law figurative-
ly had fingers snapped at it. It
stood without a friend-friend-
less and all alone. Students were
traversing the streets of the con-
Jested district during the day. No
violence was reported. But not
SO with many Of the boy students
OF the Dallas high school. Their
feelings had been hurt-they felt
humiliated, about forty of them
In number, their ideals in what
was correct in the line of dress
had been shattered, and they
were inculcated with the reali-
cation that might was right-and
asserted themselves-right out in
public.
Eight members of the student
body determined to show their
independence by appearing at the
morning assembly wearing the
much discussed toreador trousers.
more commonly known as Peon
pants. These "Peon Painters" who
appeared in a garb that would
put to shame Solomon arrayed
in all his glory" had secured the
pants, probably from Salem, and
unassumably drifted into the as
sembly room. They were Halden
Grant, Paul Bilyeu, Ray Imbler,
Willard Brown, Louis Wick,
Floyd Mccain, Lynne Black,
George Brown and couple of
others. When their presence was
discovered the trouble started.
They were clearly shown that
their presence in that garb was
not wanted. A motion was made
by. one of the students that they
be compelled to sit by themselves
on the platform. 1t was at this
time that the principal of the
school, G, A. Arpke, asserted him
self by declaring that he didn't
want them on the platform.
Rather than to further associate
with the "Peon painters" 40 OF
The students walked from the
school, leaving the toreador he
roes masters of the situation. Lat
er these were taken into captiv-
ty, their trousers stripped from
hem and they were then sent to
their respective homes in auto
mobiles. But one had the heroism
% stick it out. After losing their
'rousers those who had worn
hem allied themselves with the
'eyolutionists, parading the
streets in a body and forming in
ront of the high school building.
During all this turmoil, r. r.
Turner, city superintendent of
schools, held forth in his office
md represented the school law
rom that point. He had nothing
o say, but on his face was the
expression that plainly said: "I'G
light it out on this line If it takes

BOYS ARE Strong
CONTENDERS FOR
PR|zESA AT SHOW

Dallas. Oregon, November "a
ooks like we'll have to rule
tboso Youngsters out for their
dads can't compete with them,
remarked A. E. Horton, chairman
of the Independence corn show,
roferring to the heavy winners of
+ba juniors at that event which
closed Saturday evening. This
season. as last, it seems that the
bovs have not only put up an ex-
centionally fine display in their
own department, but they have
entered in the open classes and
walked away with their share of
the awards. The champion 10
ears, in fact went to boy Of
independence, Norval Pease.
Potato Honors Taken
In the potato exhibit the three
Wilson boys, Alfred, George and
woodrow, of the Mill creek sec
tion, simply failed to recognize
competition. OF the five potato
classes these boys took first, Sec
ond and third in three of them.
The boys are members Of a potato
club and are regarded by club
members and officials as author
tiles in potato culture. 1t is
evident that they know the game
and their winnings at Independ-
ence were predicted by number
of observers, familiar with their
work, The sweepstakes half
bushel, both in certified and COM
mercial grades, went to Harley
Wilson C Sons, Sheridan, Route 1.
The Wilson's are showing at the
Spokane, Washington Potato show
next week and it is expected that
they will be in the running there.
The potato display, in which
there were SO half-bushel entries,
did not show the uniformity of
the corn. Doubtless with little
more experience in Showing pota-
toes the quality will improve.
This is the first season that pota-
toes have been included at the
Independence Corn show. I'M
proper shape for the variety, too
large or Informed, and the pres
ence of diseases covered the most
of the trouble with some of the
entries not included in the win
nings. Little black spots on the
skin showing rhizoctonia, and
wilt gave the most trouble.
Culinary Exhibit Good
The culinary department COW
cred an immense table at one
side, matter of fully a hundred
entries. Corn breads, Boston
brown, cookies, gems and canned |
corn were there in 'profusion and |
excellence. The awards went to
a number Of individual cooks, the
best individual display to Mrs.
Crosby Davis of Independence.
Mrs. L. A. Dickinson of Dallas is
also found among the prize win
ners.
In the senior department A.
Reynolds, Independence, route 2,
drew first on 10 ears of dent,
with T. L. Hartman, aged grower
in the edge Of independence, COM
ing in on top with the SO ear lot.
Mr.. Hartman also won champion
single ear. With the club men,
bers Mark Capps, Jr., took first on
10 ears. Charlie Wilson, IedR-
pendence, route 1, took the blue
ribbon on the SO ears.

BUCK UP


That's the favorite experience of
the Britisher when he wants you to
act the man and take life's downs,
as you would its ups, with the air of
a philosopher.
If we but bear in mind, that even
the longest lane must finally present
a turn and that the darkest hour is
invariably the one that precedes the
dawning day, we can screw up
enough gupption to stand for the
gait, until the hour of trial is past.
In union affairs, Tow West strikes
the proper key, when he yoodles this
inspiring lay, that promises results,
If we but obey its timely suggestions,
for he truly says:
Now's the time to stick together,
Do not waver, stay in line;
You have willy foes to combat
Who adore the S signs
Laws are being framed against you,
BY the people who want more.
Boost along the Union Label.
As you never did before.
Don't be numbered with the slackers
Show the world you are true blue;
BE a man and just remember
What the union did for you.
1t has been a staunch defender
For your uplift, as you know.
Tell the greedy open shoppers
Backward you will never go.

BEES.
by J. w. L.

Busily the bees, through sunny hours,
Gather the honey from the flowers,
And store it away,--a hord of wealth.
Enough to insure them peace and
health.
But the Master comes,-he owns the
hive,
And the broad, green acres, where
the flowers thrive
And he takes of the honey; intent to
give
Enough to the bees, that they may
live.
The bees are ineensed, this seems I'M
just,
1t violates the age old" trust:
That he who tolls, and treads the mill.
Shall eat of the harvest, to his fin.
But the Masters hands are gloved
with might,
The Law clothes his body in the mail
of right;
So, the angly bees may sting in glee;
But he gets the honey, $50 There

London.-The report of the execu-
tive of the British Labor party to the
Edinburgh conference shows that
there are 2,400 local labor party
groups in Great Britain.
The membership is increasing. The
women's section numbers over 500
locals with about 100000 members.
The party has "a members in parlia-
ment, and 3S4 new candidates for
public office have been indorsed. an
increase of Ga over last year.
The party has ia local divisions
at work with is national organizers.
1t has $500 representatives i'm local
governments, and many additional
members serving ON various advis-
DRY committees in public functions.
Service Is Good.
The information and research de-
partments of the party have render
ed good service, IL, 400 pounds ster-
ling having been spent on literature.
The total income of the party was
6,17S pounds sterling, the expendi-
ture 5S,943 pounds sterling.
The party assisted the campaign
for neace in Ireland with $3.50
pounds sterling.
The total membership of the party
IN 1922 was 4,010,361. There are
about 100000 wage earners in
Great Britain, so the party has
plenty of work for the future.
The chairman of the labor party,
Fred Jowett, who is also a member
Of the Independent Labor party exc
euuve, reminded the delegates that
the war for democracy had proved a
sham and had not secured peace for
the world.
The world is now reaping the re-
suits of war in economic disaster.
/ The workers are the victims of the
struggle between capitalists for new
areas of industrial and financial ex-
/ ploitation.

BRING BEST RESULTS
BY SILAGE IN RATIONS

To get results economically most
cattle feeders should use some kind
of siIage in the rations, says the
United States Department OF Agrl-
culture. Steers led on silage usually
not only make more economical gains,
shrink less, and make more profits
than steers fed on dry roughage, but
also make it possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in a rotation for re-
storing the fertility of WORKOUT lands.
The comparative value of a number
of different silage crops for steer
feeding was recently worked out by
the department in cooperation with
the Louisiana Experiment Station. In
one instance similar lots of cattle
were fed a ration of c~ottonseed meal
and blackstrap molasses in combina-
ton with corr silage, corn and Biloxi
soy-bean silage, sorghum silage, sor-
ghum and Biloxi soy-bean silage, and
Japanese cane and Biloxi soy-bear
silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage
but it was shown that the capacit!
, Of a farm for fattening or winterin9
cattle may be greatly increased b!
the use of heavy-yielding silage crop
suck as sorghum and Japanese cane
Immature Biloxi soy beans mikes
with corn or sorghum were not s
, satisfactory, but with ~late-maturinI
crops like Japanese cane these soy
! gave very good results. Sorghum
{ silage and japanese cane and Biloz
: soy-bean silage are practically equs
. in feeding value for steers when sur
J plemented by cottonseed meal an
molasses.

BUREAUS CONSOLIDATED
IN AGRICULTURE DEPT

Washington, = Reorganization of
the economic work in the United
States Department of Agriculture by
consolidating in a single bureau all
work in the economics of agricultural
production and marketing will be
completed July l.. The new bureau
will be known as the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economies and is a combin-
alton Of the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates and the office OF
Farm Management and Farm Econ
omics. The plan was provided for
in the agricultural appropriation bill
passed by Congress and signed by
the President.
t. consolidation is a recognition
that establishments in farm organiza-
ton, c~sts Of production, dlstribu-
ton and orsr.i 0tion bear a vital re-
lation to marketing problems. World
wide surveys and studies of all the
economic factors influencing price:
and movements of products from pro
Queer to consumer will be made. By
handling these economic questions IL
one bureau a composite picture o.
the entire farm business in its ma
tional and international aspects il
had. The consolidation also effect
certain economics in organization

Washington, D.. c., June 15-The
area of durum wheat in Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Montana is estimated by the United

be 5,276,0O0 acres, or 35.2 per cent
of the total spring wheat acreage of
these States. This compares with
100000 acres of durum wheat in
these States in 1921, or 30.4 per cent
of their total spring wheat acreage,
and with an annual average of g.
$4,000 acres of durum wheat for
the five years 1917-1921, or 22.O PEI

WASHINGTON, June Tn COM
pleting it's revision Of the army APP
preparation bill the Senate commit
tee on military affairs provides for a
regular army of $4,000 men and r.
500 officers, compared with the
House provision for lie, 900 men and
1000 officers. The bill as amended
authorizes a maximum personnel of

to the Senate and early consideration
of it will be sought. The committee
has been informed by the War De-
partment that the regular army,
through reductions in enlistments, has
already been cut to $4,000, and
economies in the purchase of supplies
and in other army activities make it
possible that an authorization of
$4,000 men would cost considerably
less than was at first anticipated.
In this connection it may be inter

STUDYING SEED IN
GOVERNMENT PLANT

Persons interested in learning the
approved methods of testing CONNER
cial seeds ar offered the facilities of
the United States Department of
Agriculture in Washington, without
charge. Although the department
does not pretend to conduct a seed
school with outlined courses and class
es, it has for a number of years per-
mitted a few people to study in the
Government seed-testing laboratories
and in July and August an expert in
seed testing devotes his time to help
ing them.
Those who have taken advantage
of the opportunity in past years have
been in most instances the sons of
seedsmen or young men and women
sent out by seed companies to learn
the best methods that have been de-
veloped. The number taking up the
work usually ranges from 5 to Is
and thus far the department has beer
able to care for all applicants.
These students become fimilia,

POISON BAIT USED
AGAINST CUTWORMS

Cutworms can readily be control
led by the use of poisoned bait, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has demonstrated. This is
the way to prepare and apply the
poison:
To 1 bushel of dry bran add 1
pound of white arsenic or Paris green
and mix thoroughly into a mash with
A gallons of water, in which has been
stirred one-half gallon of sorghum or
other cheap molasses. This amount
will be sufficient to treat a or 5
acres of cultivated crops. After the
mash has stood for several hours
scatter it in Jumps of about the size
of a marble over the fields where the
injury is beginning to appear. Put
it about the bases of the plants which
have been set out. Apply the mash
late in the day, so as to have the
poison in place around the plants
before night, when the cutworms are
active. Apply a second time if nee
essary.
Cutworms destroy hundreds OF
thousands, even millions, of dollars
worth of crops every year throughout
the United States. They especially
attack tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, and
other vegetables that have been start.
ed under glass and transplanted. Cut.
worms sometimes appear in great
numbers in the spring and early sum.

before their ravages are noticed.
Their method of attack is to cut of.

SPRAYING WITH KEROSENE
REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS

To get rid of lawn ants entom-
ologists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggest drench-
ing the nests with boiling water or
pouring in a small quantity of kerr
osene oil. Similar treatment may be
applied to nests between or beneath
paving stones. Spraying the lawn
with kerosene emulsion or with very
strong soap wash is also recommend
ed. For large ants disulphid of car
bon injected into the nest by means
of an oil ear or q small syringe is
recommended to kill the ants. The
fumes of disulphid of carbon have q
very d~isagreeable odor and r in
flammabIe, but they are not injurious
to higher animals in the open air.
