Many people wonder just what the
Camp Fire organization is, and what
it rs accomplishing in the world. A
brief review of its activities is as
follows:
The Camp Fire Girls is an inter
national sisterhood founded in 1912
by DR.. and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gu
lick as small club to provide their
daughters means of recreation and
development. In 1921 there grew
from the number 100000 members in
II countries-gi girls enjoying good
ines in Alaska, Australia, Canada,
he Canal Zone, China, England, the
hawaiian Islands, Japan, Korea. Mex
leo the Philippine Islands Porto
Rico, Scotland, Argentine, Brazil and
Turkey All these girls repeat the
same Camp Fire law.
In answer to the pertinent question,
But just what do you dor, the fol
lowing is summary. In 1921 the

BEWARE OF THE WIRELESS FAKIRS

Watch out for the wireless fakrs. The new gen
eraton since the scandeous stock obbing operations
that marked the advent eff the Marcon wireless tele-
graph concern in which thousands of widows and other
poor folk robbed Of their life savings should read
little history. The public is of short memory It
will not be long before the stock jobbers will be at
work offering all kinds of auring propositions ident
fed with the manufacture and operation of wireless
telephone outfits. The danger of being swindled in
these highly speculative enterprises is in proportion to
necessary, because the wireless telephone business is
destined to stagger the Imagination before many
have passed. When the thousand per cent per day
proposals reach this town. let those with loose change
be cautious. Cupidity is dangerous leader. Follow
old General Conservatism and be safe.

Where To Shear

Shear only on smooth dry surface,

How To Shear
With the hand shears or clippers
When using hand shears be sure to clip
with blades level with the body of the
sheep. This avoids making second cuts
which shorten the length of the staple
and reduces the value of the wool.
When using the clippers adjust them
so as not to cut too close, or the hot
sun will blister the back and flies will
annoy the sheep before the wool makes
the necessary growth to protect the
skin. Always smooth the skin toward

GREEN MATURING ANCIENT
MEANS OF IMPROVING SOIL

Green neutrality-suspicious. under
green crops-as a means Of soil i'm
proyement, although it has been en-
phasized in recent years, can hardly
be called a new discovery, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. It is really one of the oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose
We're used by the ancients, the Rom
ans using lupines, which We're sown il
September and turned under in May
for the benefit Of the following crop.
In Germany the use of lupines be
gan is the middle of the nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor in retaining the sandy lands
of parts Of Prussia. In England le-
gunles and other plants are COM
monty used; in India and Japan the
farmers gather green plants of many
kinds, sometimes even cutting twigs
from the trees and carrying them to
the rice fields.
In the United States the use Of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than in the
North Under irrigation they play an
important part in orchard culture in
the West. but not under dry-farming
conditions.

GREAT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS

A system Of highways that will

Is being mapped out by Federal and

act recently enacted specifically re-
quires that all Federal aid be spent
on a connected system Of highways
consisting Of the road mileage in each
state, and that this system shall con

intercounty or secondary roads.
Proposed systems have been receiv-
ed by the Bureau Of Public Roads of
the United States Department of Ag-

They are plotted on q large map Of

amined as to coordination with the
roads of adjacent states and service
to all sections Of the country. Where
coordination Is net satisfactory con
ferences are held with all interested

FLIES FROM MANURE PILES.

College Of Washington, in response
to a query from a farmer near Go

PLIES require moisture. and fresh
horse manure Is the usual agency
furnishing it. Manure that has been
standing for two or three years Is
therefore unlikely to harbor many
maggots, If any.
