TEACHING HONESTY
TO SCHOOLBOYS

The proposal to teach American
bovs honesty as part of their PUBLIC
school course, made by the National
Surety Company, has more merit IMAM
novelty. Indeed, the undertaking
might well be considered a movement
~ return to old-time educatohal
uethods, for the school of years ago
taught integrity of character particu-
larlv. if it could be said to speclalize
in any one endeavor.
Who Of the surviving school ooys
pf half century or more ago uoea
not recall, with curious warming oi
the heart, the appeals to fine conduc'
which the textbooks then used con
tanned? Those works are laughed a.
raw when seen. Their lessons Gauss
oda,.n educators to smile con
!. ,iemptuously. Yet, oddly enough nov
the scholarship of that day could pom
10 sterling worth in the youth whlcl
It led by that scholarships now re
iected and despised ways!
OF course, the new movement doe
not suggest reversion to the method
of the past. Perhaps they never agai
can be employed. That is pity fe
these and future times. Honesty

"MOVIES" DEVELOP INTEREST
IN FARMS AND FARM EVENTS

Huron, April Word has Just been
received here from the American Farm
Bureau federation that a motion pic
ture exchange for farm bureau films
has been established with the visual
education department of the North Da-
kota agricultural college at Fargo for
the convenience of county farm bu-
Iy clubs, agricultural schools and 9TH
.er local organizations can now get
more rapid service for educational
films. .
Among the various films produced
by the American Farm E..reau feder-
alton, the two most popular are
Spring Valley" and 1.-THE Homestead"
Spring Valley" is a five-reel drama
giving the story OF the production and
marketing problems Of the farm and
showing the value Of county agricul-
tural extension work. The plot is
built around two farmer neighbors
who have their doubts about organic
ed agriculture. The operation of the
wool pool is graphically portrayed.
THE Homestead is a three-reef pic
ture to inspire a desire for better me-
thods of farm management. Both are
full of humor.
Other pictures are being produced
under the management of ID. c. Thorn
pson, formerly secretary, and e. l..
Bill, formerly director of publicity of
the Illinois farm bureau.

SECRETARY WALLACE In
APPROVAL FARMERS AID

Huron, April 7.-While speaking to
the Rotary club in Philadelphia recent
ly, Secretary of Agriculture Henry G.
Wallace devoted some time TO the ques
ton of agricultural legislation. He
claimed that most of the farmers
trouble resulted from government reg
ulation as a war emergency.
II do not mean to criticize that pol
Icy" stated Mr.. Wallace "but I do say
that federal aid is due agriculture.
Part of the difficulty originated in the
fact that national control of agricul-
ture was removed at the same time
the government granted advances to
the railroads increasing the cost of
farm supplies and decreasing net re-
turns for agricultural products.
Such measures as have been pass
ed by congress are not to be termed
class legislation. but calculated to
benefit business interests throughout
the nation, and it was wise legislation
in every respect"

NEW SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
MANAGER

AT a meeting of the Directors of the
Hand County Shipping Association,
John Babbitt, (who recently moved to
town after disposing OF his farming
~interests,) was elected Manager. Mr..
Babbitt takes charge of the Associa-
TONS business at a critical time. The
support of the livestock growers is
essential IL this Association is to o
tinue it's beneficial effects. The Man
ager and the Association cannot live
on well wishing. 1t must handle live
stock.
Yves Ping, who had held this place
since the organization of the Associa-
ton, resigned to take up his farming
interests. Mr.. Ping went through
many ups and downs during this per-
iod. In the face of back-biting and
embarrassing on tho part of mem
bers and vigorous opposition on the
part of some local buyers, he contin-
ued perseyeringly to give attention to
duty. Much credit is due Mr.. Ping
for his tenacity in the face of such
opposition.
Farmers need to support this cooper
alive agency rather than critic it,
Any n can criticize but 1t takes a
good n to support it, even at a little
loss If need be, until the principle is
established.
One farmer just recently received
such a good offer for hogs from a
local buyer that the Shipping Associ-
alton Manager advised him to sell.
This farmer turned over to the Man
ager the loo per hundred which the
Manager would have received had they
been shipped through the Association.
That's real support!
President Ruff of the Shipping Asso-
citation requests that applications for
Manager at st. Lawrence be forward
ed to him at the earliest opportunity.

barberry is necessary in the life OF
rust Or knew il when they saw 1t.
The barberry bush is an absolute
necessity in the life cycle of the rust
that attacks the fields Of the north
west. Rust is a parasitic fungus that
cannot live through the entire year on
one host, but must spend part OF its
terminating period on a second. This
has long been an established fact.
1t is the opinion of The Huronite,
however. that those doing research
work along this line must find another
host before the work of eradication
can be completely successful. There
is not enough barberry to account for
prevalence of the parasite, there are
sections without it which still suffer
from rust when proper weather con-
.ditions help It develop. Eradication
of barberry should go on energetically
but time undoubtedly will show that
there is another or there are other
hosts which must be removed to pro-
tect the wheat.

HONAKER HOUSE BURNED

Today, "wednesday at IL o'clock
the farm home of James Honaker, just
east of Viroqua city, caught fire from
defective chimney or chimney fire
and was totally consumed The fam
lily were washing in the basement and
heard roaring above. Rushing up
stairs, the whole upper story was
found in flames. A call was sent in
for Viroqua's fire engine, which re-
sponded in record time, but the roof
had already fallen in when they ar
rived. The structure was beyond saw
ing and the firemen devoted their time
to saving the goods in the basement
and first story. The house was thor
oughly modern and could not be re-
placed for $4,000; with insurance of
only $500. Insurance of $500 was
carried on the household goods, and
the loss is much higher 1t is a griev-
Gus loss, especially in the dead of win
ter, and the community sympathizes
with them deeply.
Hardly had the engine returned to
its quarters when the fire siren shrek
ed again, and the engine raced out to
find that a brand from the house had
ignited Irwin Henry's tobacco shed
The chemical held the blaze in check
while hose was strung from cistern
nearly 500 feet away, and the damage
was confined to small portion of the
roof.
