$4,000, 900 INTEREST STILL
UNCLAIMED ON LIBERTY BONDS

Interest to the amount of $50, ,OOO,-
900 is still unclaimed by thousands
of owners of Liberty bonds who have
failed to cash coupons due at var
ious times" states J. E. Ferris OF
Ferris & Hardgrove, investment bank
ers, Spokane. "The treasury depart
ment has sent a bulletin to all mem
bers of the Investment Bankers as
sociation asking our cooperation and
assistance in calling the attention OF
people everywhere to the Importance
of collecting coupons which are due
and cashable.
"Many people have not exchanged
temporary bonds for permanent ones
with a full set Of coupons running to
maturity 1t behooves every holder
of Liberty bonds, whether in small
or large amount to check over his
securities and see that all coupons
have been cashed which are due.
1--WE urge the holder of Liberty
bonds to consult any responsible bank
or investment dealer with reference
to the collection of bonds or cou-
pons We are asking newspapers
the country to publish
this definite request of the treasury
department as widely as possible"

What Happened to Bertha

Twenty years ago, Bertha, Mimi.
was little more than tank town,
the country around it bowling wild
erness of stumps Today you find
modern improvements, fine modern
stores, churches, schools, prosperous
well-dressed people. What made the
change? 1t was the dairy COW, says
and exchange. A recent annual re-
port of the Bertha Creamery gave
the names of 104 patrons to whom the
creamery paid during one year more
than $1,000 each for their butterfat.
Again. the average payments to each
of these 104 patrons that year was
more than $15000-$13,0 900 of new
money rolling into that little commun-
ity every 900 every year.
Think of that, you bankers, farmers
and merchants, in communities where
times are hard" money is tight"
collections slow. ."-Ex.

Couldn't Collect Insurance

But a small per cent of those who
had crops damaged last week by the
hail, will collect hail insurance. A
clause in the hail insurance policies
states that the policy is in force only
30 long as the crop is standing. AS
soon as it has been cut insurance
ceases to be in force Nearly all OF
the growers on Potlatch ridge had
cut their grain and beans and so
could not collect insurance Dave
echoeffler near Cameron perhaps
came out as well as most as his
beans were standing in the field and
he collected insurance on a basis of
85 per cent damage, or $3.50 per
acre.-Kendrick Gazette

CURRENT EXPENSE
LEVY IS 2.9 MILLS
LATAH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MEET IN SESSION HERE
MONDAY

The 1929 county current expense
tax levy has been fixed at 2.9 mills
the general school tax at 4.5 mills and
the general road fund tax at IS mills
by the board of county commission
ers, which met in regular session at
900 a. NJ Monday morning. The
meeting will continue until all cOun-
ty expense budgets have been exam
ined and the levies fixed.
County tax levies are no higher this
year than last in spite Of the $4,000
needed for the general elections in
November because Of the reduction
made in other budget items, say the
commissioners, upon examination OF
the expense budgets.
The reduction of the assessed val
uation of the county to the extent OF
$1,500,000 has necessitated a small in
crease in the tax levy. Practically
the same amount of money is needed
this year as last because of the extra
expense in connection with the cleo
tions. The additional levy will
amount to but fraction Of a mill.
But one item has necessitated a
larger revenue to carry on. That is
the expense account for the care of
county indigents. This item has
for the previous year.
In practically every other depart
ment budget a reduction has beer
noted with the result that despite the
increased tax burden owing to the
election and the care of an increase
in number Of county poor the budget
in the aggregate amounts to just about
the same as that for the preceding
year.
In regard to the general school tax
levy, the minimum tax was fixed by
the board. The state law requires
that SIS be assessed per capita fol
the school children Of the county to
help defray the expense Of educa-
ton. The school census of Latah
county is 5510.a At SIS each the ag-
Rregate amounts to $82,65O.
The commissioners are allowed to
fix any amount above the minimum
in the school levy. They
decided this year on the minimum
which brought the levy up to 4.5
mills on the dollar of taxable prop
erty of the county as shown by the
last assessment figures.
The commissioners sat Ill session
throughout Monday and were still in
session late Tuesday after noon.
Among the remaining business to be
are the special taxes for
and school districts and
the levies in the cities and villages
of the county.
Farmers Protest
Mondays session was marked by
the arrival of a delegation of farmers
Of the Genesee high school district
to protest the high taxes being lev
led in the district there. Since the

some mysterious things in the

me and perhaps to many others
as well. We are only at the out
er door of scientific discovery,
and there is lots more to be found
out yet.
They do not seem to have been
able to find out yet, however, just
why Jim" Wilmeth was so un-
tremendously dropped from the
directorship of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing. A CON-
mittee was appointed by the Sec
retary of the Treasury to check
up any Irregularities that Direct
or Wilmeth may have against him,
but in the language of Buck Snort,
they never found nothin," and
so reported. That didn't suit the
Secretary. and there is to be an
other report. A man who hand
led billions of pieces of paper
through the rush and crush of
business during the world war
without losing one single piece,
would be a marvel. especially as
there were six thousand people at
work under him. What I am
mostly interested in is Jim's vim
dieation as the patriotic executive
of unspotted integrity that |
know him to be; something rare
in this age of greed and graft.

Shun Liquid Sprays For
Poisoning Boil Weevil

- "thibtito Nff' aP@0t
er attachments to cotton poison
ing machinery is issued by Z. K.
Coad, director of the boil weevll
laboratory of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Cal
cium arsenate applied as a dust,
he points out, is the only certain
means yet found for controlling
the boil weevil and any effort at
control by means of liquid sprays
is useless. Sprayer attachments
are, therefore, not only unneces-
sary but are an added burden.
They increase the cost of the ma
chinery and make it more COM
plicated and difficult to operate.
The liquid spray, even if it were
as effective as the dust method
would be decidedly more expen-
sive. 1t would necessitate the
use of water carts, to feed the
machines, would demand an am
| pie and constant water supply
which is not available on most
farms, and in various ways would
increase the cost of poisoning op-
erations. Orchardists and others
who have to conduct poisoning
operations regularly are constant
ly searching for poisons that can
be busted instead Of sprayed. Cot
ton growers are very fortunate
lin that the one really effective
method of controlling the boil
weevil is the dust method and
they should not waste time and
money, Mr.. Coad points out, in
experimenting with the expensive
spray methods that. farmers in
other lines are SO constantly try
ing to get away from.
In addition to the foregoing
spraying equipment we also find
on the market many curious de-
vices for applying some liquid
preparations, usually containing
calcium arsenate, for the control
of the boil weevil. Some of these
are to be attached to plows, others
to cultivators, while still others
run independently. They are
usually provided with some ex-
ceedingly simple form of tank
with a gravity flow of liquid,
which either drips on the plants
or is wiped on them by some form
of brushes or rags. Many such
implements are absolutely COM
ical, and the only sad feature is
the fact that some farmers are
foolish enough to purchase them.
The literature advertising these
implements promises wonderful
results and the directions given
often call for only a small fraction
of a pound Of poison per acre,
(which is distributed over the
plants in a very irregular man
ner. To expect boil Weevil con-
troll from such methods is abso-
lutely absurd. The Department
specialists have been attempting
boil weevil control with liquid ap-
plications for many years. In
these tests they use the finest av-
ailable high pressure spraying
machinery. distributing the liquid
poison over the plants in a mist
form, thus reaching absolutely
every part of the plant. Further
more. these applications are usual
ly made at the rate,of 100 gallons
of solution per acre. In spite of
this these spray applications do
not control the boil weevil, and
how can anyone expect to secure
benefit from the absurd recon-
mendations issued with some of
the machines now offered the far
mers?

Radio Helps Church
May Help Solve Country Minister Problem

Radio may solve the country
church problem.
This subject has puzzled religious
leaders ever since the city became
lure for country folk. II has
caused a depletion in the ranks OF
country preachers until now many
rural church is standing idle for
want Of a minister.
Lack of funds. low pay for the
minister--if one could be had-con-
tributed to this nationwide slump in
rural religion. Attempts have been
made TO revive congregational wor-
ship under the leadership of a travel
ing minister for localities covering
several communities
But II is to radio that urban re-
ligious leaders are looking for a re-
vival of the country church. The
adoption of radio broadcasting ap-
paratus IN some of the larger and
more wealthy churches of the coun-
try has given rise to the hopes OF
broadcasting the sermons from these
centers Il worship to the rural com
munities.
Instead of wracking their brains
over the problem of furnishing
country preachers to their rural con-
gregations, dnominational leaders
are now thinking OF supplying COM
munlties with radio receiving stes.
so they may tune in on sermons from
central churches.
That this is practical is shown by
the results radio is already produc-
ing in connection with the country
school. The waning little red
schoolhouse" could easily be the CEN
ter OF education and entertainment
for It's community, with radio in
use.
It's successor. the centralized |
school, is adopting It instead. Re-
ports from all parts of the country /
show how fast nad= is being taken /
up in these centralized districts.
II is looked upon as another
means for keeping the boys down on
the farm.
