May I Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign Of
Kind In Service.

Without the Postal Service. business
would languish In a day, and be at q
standstill In a week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish. and
Observation-Disclosures thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and 1t comes nearer to the
innermost interests Of a greater mum
Der Of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on it's min
ist%rations.
"PostaI Improvement Week" has
been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of its kind in the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users Of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire %organiza-
ton Of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest in postal improvements.
Your help Is vital. Address your let

return address in the upper left hand

dropping in the mail to see If 1t is
properly addressed. This care In the

TUBERCULOSIS IN POULTRY

There are many flocks around
Blackfoot which are affected with
tuberculosis. tuberculosis of the
fowls is a chronic contagious dis
ease. 1t can readily be distinguished
from the other diseases of poultry
in several ways. The LESSONS are
found on the liver, spleen and in
testines. They are white spote
which vary in size from a pea to a
good size marble.
Tuberculos is isreadily transmit
ted to other fowls and several clas-
ses of animals. The way this dis
ease is transported is by bringing
into the flock an affected bird or by
the English sparrow visiting a yard
of affected birds and then flying
to a yard where the disease is not
present. Birds breathing in the air
given off by the affected fowl will
easily catch the disease.
The symptoms are not generally
noticed in the first stages but will
soon be very noticeable in the ad-
vanced stage. They will gradually
lose weight and the cmob becomes
pale in color. They get lazy and
will not get off from the roost until
noon and frequently they will stay
there all day. The way to find out
if your flock has it is by the Tu-
bercular test. In most cases if sew
eral birds have this disease it is pos
sible that your entire flock is af-
fected. If so it is best to kill the
entire flock and burn the c~arcasses.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Now that everybOdy's talkin'
through the air, why not let the
trees hold a bit of conversation? Do
you see one in the back yard-tall,
dgniied, stately? Gee, when the
wind blows how it bends, but it
don't break. Roots are deep and
firm in the ground. How about our
roots? Are they planted deep in
the ground of common sense, poise,
kindly interest and all the other
things that make a man a man?
Then we sit under the shelter of the
branches of u friend and wonder
about our own branches. Are they
reaching out in helpfulness and
gathering under their protecting
leaves the poor and the d~owntrodden
and those who are bearing the heat
an burden of the day? Say, that
old tree can talk for hours if you'll
just start him goin'.

BY rendering assistance to the agri-
cultural sections the Congress kept
alive the buying power of over halt
the nations population. This aid, al
though extended directly to agricul-
ture, was Of vital Importance to bust
ness.
Although no act of Congress figured
in the process, nevertheless, the in
fuences Of the Republican admins
tration, of which the Congress is a
part, gave such confidence to the
business world that within a year
from the time the Republican party
took control of all branches Of the
Government prices of practically all
sound securities advanced materially.
The most outstanding example of this
is the increase of Is per cent. in the
value of SIS, 600, 600, 900 worth Of out
standing Liberty bonds.
AS another reflex of the influence Of
the Republican administration, inter.
est rates have been lowered from 7
per cent. to Az within ~ months, thus
releasing money at a reasonable rate
for the use of business interests.
No one has the temerity to deny that
business conditions today, compared
with a year ago, are not infinitely bet
ter and that prospects are undoubted-
ly for further Improvement. There is
no other explanation for this trans.
formation in the business world ex-
cept the II months application of Re.
publican policies and the certain
knowledge throughout the business
world that the influences and policies
of the Republican Party, which will
direct the affairs of the nation for the
next two years, are constructive in
f1uences that make for accumulation
rather than waste, assist legitimate &C.
tivities, stand f%our-squared for the pro-
lection Of capital and labor and stand
equally firm against the fallacious
theories of Communism and Social.
ism.
In brief, the commercial optimism
with which the people of all classes in
the United States face the coming
year must be wholly attributed to the
fact that all branches of the Govern.
ment of the United States are now In
control of the Republican Party.

(NEW YORK;

The Republican administration came
into authority in March, 1921, pledged
to put more business in government
and to have less Of government in
business. That pledge has been lib
orally redeemed. One of the first
things. which the Republican admins
tratlon did was to impress upon
business interests that it was up to
them to become s%elf-reliant If they
wished to become self-sustaining;
that they must begin to work out their
W salvation instead of running to
the Government for artificial stimulus.
Legislation has been enacted wherever
it could prove helpful, but 1t has not
been permitted to take the place of
individual energy and thrift.

to conduct the Governments business
In an orderly manner. 1t is largely
due to the inauguration of this bud

100000 a day under this admins

The business interests of the coun-

enactment of the new tax measure.
Surtaxes were decreased, excess profits

the shipping interests of the United

NOW IS THE
TIME FOR BUYING.
HE makers of u. S.
Tires made this
announcement last

A calm analysis Of the business
conditions of the country may be a
monotonous undertaking for the av-
erage man, but it behooves him, and
his good wife too, who Is the pur-
chaser, to glance at conditions and
to make a little hay while the OPP
portunity lasts. Higher prices are
at hand and buying opportunity is
pounding instead Of knocking at the
door. Buy now The Department
of Agriculture predicts a falling of
the winter wheat crop and this
spells higher prices. Then the De-
partment of Commerce points out
that we are now shipping abroad
two billion dollars worth Of cot
ton, wheat and other farm products,
which is twice the amount of the
exports prior to the war. Great
prosperity is facing the six million
farmers of the country. The world
is crying for American food stuffs.
Until Russia is reorganized and its
industries coordinated, and that
must be ONE years away, the world
must look to America to supply the
100000 tons of grain and other
farm products hat Russia export
ed. The cotton shipments are in
creasing at an astounding rate, and
prices are rising. Tobacco ship
ments are mounting and so are
prices. Meats are in greater foreign
demand and you can trust the meat
trust to take carr of the prices so
far as they are concerned. Indeed
every indication is for a steady in
crease in prosperity, but with it
will come higher prices. Wise men
and wise women will look about
them and do their shopping early.

buyers strike are weaving a rope
with which to hang themselves.

possibility. The fungus does make
seed. vet it behaves otherwise as a
sterile fungus. 1t remains, however,
to be determined if and how these
spores spread the disease.
Control Indicated.
THE understanding of the fact that
the fungus growth spreads by means
of sterile threads through contact with
susceptible plant roots naturally indl-
Gates effective control so far as that
method of spread is concerned. Gull
lures are prepared with ease from al
fected plant roots, especially cotton
roots, as long as the roots remain
alive, but after twelve days from the
time of their removal from the soil
cotton roots were sufficiently dead that
cultures could not be obtained.
"The sterile threads of the fungus
do not live over in the soil nor in dead
matter; so, all that is necessary to
eradicate it is simply eliminate from
the soil for a time, probably not more
than fifteen or twenty days, all living
susceptible plant roots and the disease
is eradicated. To eradicate some of
these plants, like the vine, for instance,
will involve tedious work for much
longer time than fifteen or twenty
days; but this means they must be
eradicated before the fungus can GER
tainly be eliminated. There seems no
doubt the disease can be led back into
this soil through plant roots that are
affected and of course it is possible
that seed spores may lead the disease
back to these areas, or into new areas.
''If the seed spores also spread the
disease, which seems probable, it is
also probable that they cannot do so
on fields in which no susceptible
plants are growing. This is only con-
lecture, however; but, it is certain that
we now know more about the disease
than ever before, and that its complete
mastery is almost in sight. Further
work will be pushed with vigor until
the disease is in check
I'm cooperation with D. T. Kill
Tough, superintendent of the Temple
sub-station, and with some farmers in
that vicinity, mass of work has been
done which will now enable more eff
fective control. For instance, deep
blowing, time of blowing, crop rota-
ton and sundry efforts at control are
effective to the extent that they &C
complish the cleaning of the soil, for
time, of all living susceptible plant
roots.
"The experiment station is prepar-
ing a bulletin by DR.. TaubenhauS
in which the root rot problem and
suggestions for control will be fully
treated"

AIMED Bandits Held Up
N. Y. Central Fast F reight
Break Into Cars Near Poughkeepsie
And Haul Away Booty in Truck.

And Haul Away Booty in Truck.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.-The
fast freight which the New York Cen
trail designates as M. D. 5, came to a
sudden stop near Chelsea, n. Y,
about IL miles south of Poughkeepsie
early today Some one not member
of the train crew had set the airbrake.
AS the train slowed four masked
men climbed over the tender, poked
revolvers in the faces of the engineer
and fremen and ordered them to un-
couple the locomotive Still threatened
by the guns, the engineer drove a
mile away from his train.
A big motor truck pulled alongside
the abandoned freight cars. Another
half-dozen robbers, masked and arm
ed, rounded up the brakemen and con-
ductor, who were made to stand by
while seven cars were broken into.
Four of these cars contained only bal
ed cotton. From the other three the
bandits made a selection of merchan-
disc. After they had transferred the
boxes to their trucks they fired signal
shots, calling back the captors of the
locomotive, who piled aboard the
truck, which raced away.
Railroad detectives believe the rob
bers intended to stop the Central
silk special, another fast freight train,
which had passed through Chelsea a
quarter of an hour before. Had they
not mistaken one train for the other
their haul would have. been many
times richer.
