Shaping Heads

\ quaint custom practiccd in Male
kuIa, one of the largest islands Of the
New IIcbridcs, IS that Of winding a
strong cord around the head Of each
baby girl, IN order to alter the shape
of her head. The cord is wound over
piece Of mating placed on the child s
skull. The girl whose head is cOnical
in shape will marry well, while should
her parents have neglected the winding
and her head be of normal shape, she
will be likely tc remain an old maid.

HOWARD FAvORS.
NEW SHIPPING BILL

Volumes of testimony have been
taken by the Congressional Joint Com
mittee, for and against the proposed
ship subsidy bill to assist in develop
ing an American merchant marine.
More than score of National or
ganizations and some 200 Chambers of
Commerce and commercial organiZa-
tions are on record in favor of the
Shipping Bill.
Not single Chamber of Commerce
or organization of businessmen is on
record against the bill
j. r. Howard, Pres. of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau in testifying the
Congressional committees said, "OuI
farmers are recognizing the value oi
the American Merchant Marine. The
crops of America are greater than oul
F{Onsumption and must have outlets
abroad. Prior to 1914, we might say
our goods sold themselves. Now we
must fight for the market If other
nations control shipping, they control
the market. America must provide foI
herself"
Mr.. Howard showed the committee
just how much the subsidy would cost
in terms of agricultural products. Or
a 5000 ton freighter the farmer would
pay only II to l cent bushel in sub.
gsidy to carry wheat from, New York tC
Liverpool. On cotton, 10 cents a bale
from Galveston to Liverpool. Marine
assurance on the wheat would be 51A
mills per bushel and $140 a bale or
cotton.
Insurance is only guarantee
against loss from fire OF storm" sale
Mr.. Howard, "the subsidy viii be z
guarantee against loss from failure tC
reach market regularly Through de,
pendence on foreign ships) and wheI
markets are best
international commerce is the ser.
want of the whole nation and of di
rect benefit to every citizen. In times
of drought the Government Will fur
nish the farmer free seed to plant the
next crop. That is subsidy to NEE
an emergency such as shipping faces
today"
Mr.. howard said il was entirely pos
sible if the ship subsidy act was pas
sed, that the farmers organization
would buy ships to complete the mar,
keting of crops by their own grain anC
cotton selling agencies. In such case
the American farmer becomes the
American ship owner.
In conclusion he said America
should be fully prepared to enter the
European markets with its own ships
carrying its own surplus products.

BANKERS MUST
CHANGE METHODS
By A. D. GROSS.

Which will happen? Will the farm
ers establish farmer-owned banks or
will the bankers furnish adequate
credit facilities to meet the farmers
needs? Unless something is done to
clear the situation permanently farm
ers are likely to take matters into
their own hands and depend no longer
on proprietary banks.
The American Bankers association
realizes the impending Grange and has
arranged for representatives of thei1
Organization to tour the United States
TO stimulate the Interest of bankers in
agriculture Nevertheless, farmers
everywhere have begun to feel that
banking Facilities are tools and ad-
juncts OF their business and they must
acquire them to properly round out
their cooperative movement.
The determination of farmers to es-
tablish faTmer-owned banks was
strongly manifested at the mass meet
ing called by the National Farmers
Union in the fan of 1920. Eugene
Meyer, Jr., chairman of the War FL
namce corporation, is of the opinion
since that meeting, farmers will begin
seriously to develop banking facilities
for themselves unless some relief is
furnished them

WENNSTROM BABY
BURNED TO DEATH
Mother Helpless Witness to Tragedy
Fire Wednesday Caused by Electric
Wires In Attic is Believed Funeral
Friday.

Little Richard Wennstrom, five
months of age, was burned to crisp
Wednesday afternoon in his parents
home in American Falls. Fire that
practically destroyed the G.. S. Wenn-
strom home broke out in the bedroom
where the child was sleeping, about
$3.50 in the afternoon All attempts to
save the baby failed, for the fire had
spread over the entire room and all it
contained before discovered.
The baby was alone in the house at
the time the fire broke out. Mrs.
Wennstrom was at the Anderson home
next door with her baby when it fell
asleep. She carried it home and left ii
on the bed in the rear bedroom and
then returned to the Anderson home
for a few minutes. Children playing
in the street discovered the smoke and
flames and gave the alarm. Mrs
Wennstrom rushed home to find ap-
proach to her baby cut off by the
flames which we're extremely hot and
shooting from all doors and windows
Heroic efforts were made to rescue
the infant but all were futile. 1t is
presumed that the smoke and heat suf-
focated the child before the flames
actually touched it's body
The fire department arrived soon
and fought the flames with all possible
vigor. There was barely enough pres.
sure to force the water to the roof oi
the house, condition that greatly
handicapped the firemen. The low
pressure was blamed to the many opeI
faucets used to water gardens anC
lawns in Riverside Addition. BY foul
O'Clock the fire was out. The roof was
ruined, one bedroom was burned ani
the remainder of the house was dam
aged with water and displaced plaster
Funeral services are announced fol
Friday, the exact time being left oper
until word is received from distan
members of the family.
The fire is believed to have original
ed in the attic from crossed and er
posed electrical wires. The smoider
ing flames probably ate through th'
ceiling and sparks dropped down to tn,
bed in the bedroom.

the course of a few years Idaho can

farmers will then have, from one or

On some farms a COW is looked upon
