THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Boom
This reflects prosperity now n
to Gomez: The railroads loaded more
than a million cars of freight in
week ended Oct. 81, latest reported.
To beat that you have to go back
two years, and even Their trahc
wasn't much heavier.
Don't worry about q stock market
slump. as long as the railroads nave
more business than they a handle.
When freight moves heavily, people
are buying and business is betting
on prosperity.
Failures M
A check-up shows that 1900 bust
ness firms failed during OCTOBER.
Liabilities or debts exceeded assets
bv a triie less than SIS, 100000 or
about II cents for each American.
That's not worth worrying about,
considering the big scale on which
money is handled in America.
Last January had 2722 failures.
Times are much better now. Unless
specializing with money or goods,
look for steady improvement-at
least until spring, probably longer.
longer.
Honki
In October the auto factories
turned out 244,400 passengers r
and trucks. 1t was the greatest
October ever. for the auto trade. The
best previous October record was
200, 900 ears in 1919, during the big
boom. stfl
The people certainly are expecting
good times when they buy cars at
the rate of nearly 100000 a year.
A good sign, for business III or
slumps according to the psycho-
logical state of the public.
Smashes
While glad that auto production is
booming, remember that it means
more cars for the pedestrian to
dodge, more caution IL drivers want
to avoid accidents.
Uncle Sans census takers n
nounce that 1878 Americans were
killed last year in auto and motor
cycle accidents in the death registra-
ton district, which includes "a
states.
That would scare us into caution,
IL it all happened at once, like de-
struction of a town with 1918 in
habitants. Coming singly. we do
not realize the terrible total. Be
careful. Save life.
m Canada
Canada expects to have ner own
ambassador. possibly under a differ
ent title, representing her in Wash
ington. Heretofore her diplomatic
relations with US have been handled
through the British ambassador.
1t means, Canada thinks it wiser
to deal with Uncle Sam direct in
stead of through a. third party
thousands of miles away. A sensible
arrangement for neighbors. Canada
understands us better than the Eng
lish.
: Insanity
Many cases of insanity might be
cured by treating the body's endo'
crime glands, thinks DR.. William
Held, medical lecturer.
This is undoubtedly true. But, for
results on a wide scale, we'll have to
wait at least 20 years Tinkering
with the endocrine glands is a new
medical art, still in the laboratory
stage, many mysteries to be solved
many invisible dangers to be re
vealed and guarded against.
The glands are the switchboards
regulating the life current.

full rivers and streams for more
miles than any other road In n
world, it is claimed, and offers a
combination of mountain and valley
scenery of unusual beauty and va
riety. From the Potomac river
southwestward to the Mississippi n
way lies through a great
tain valley which is marked by n
Blue Ridge and Unaka
ranges on the east and by the Ale
gheny-Cumberland range on the
west. This valley Is crossed trans
verse1y by a series of ridges which
are not high enough to form noun
tain barriers, but constitute water
sheds for streams flowing in a
| northwesterly or southwesterly di-
rection.
The Valley of Virginia has been a
| great thoroughfare since the early
settlement of that region. Along 1t
passed the pioneers from the older
sections of Virginia and other states
who settled the mountainous parts
of West Virginia, northern Tennes-
| see and parts of Kentucky. 1t was
the shortest route from Charlotte.
| North Carolina, to New York, and
before the days of the railroad was
| generally used by southerners who
had occasion to journey north.
Thus this valley presents a wealth
Of historical interest dating back to
early colonial days. 1t includes
backgrounds that were the arenas
for some of the fiercest fighting of
the Civil War, and it has also its
monuments to peaceful pursuits and
achievements. Notable among the
latter is an ancient structure stand
ing a short distance from the Lee
Highway between Staunton and
blacksmith shop in which Cyrus H.
| Mccormick made the first reaping
machine. Scenic features of this
section include the Luray Caverns
and the Natural Bridge, which has
been rated as the most beautiful
in the world.
Along with the construction of
the road the Lee Highway Associa-
| ton purposes the carrying or of an
educational campaign in which the
history. geography, literature, in
dustries, natural resources and at
fractions of the zone traversed by
the highway will be made generally
known. This will fit into the Seeing
America First" propaganda. Natur-
ally the business element in every
community dlOQS the Iluo Is lIlLST-
ested in this program and is cooper
ating in every possible way.
President Harding has enrolled
himself among the good roads
boosters in a recent letter to the
Highway Education Board. He de-
clared the question of t~ransporta-
ton to be among "the most press
ing and difficult problems the entire
world is facing and stated with all
possible emphasis that "the country
needs good roads and more OF
them"
transportation facilities of the
world, whether by rail or water or
whether represented by the great
network of public highways, have
been confronted with a most diff.
cult situation for years." said the
President. 'It is one which de-
mands the very best and widest
treatment from the standpoint Of
technical, economic and fnancia
authorities"

THE BOND ISSUE ADOPTED

While the returns on the road bond issue seems to be incom.
plete, 1t is evident that the proposition has been carried by a com.
paratively small margin. The state will now have $40OOOOOO add
ed to it's debt and it is promised that the state highway system will
be completed within the next five years.
The small majority given the bond issue shows how skephcal
the people are throughout the state as to the advisabiEty of hand
ing so much money over to the State Highway Commission for IT
20 spend. In a great many counties, including Middlesex, the ma
jority were against the bonds. The rural districts were particular
~ strong IN their opposition. The big vote in the larger cities,
however, managed to pull the proposition through.
The one redeeming feature is that with the adoption of the bond
issue the county reimbursement act is automatically repealed.
There is also the promise that there will be real competition in the
idding hereafter so that tn epower of the patented pavement
crowd will be broken. Both parties have promised this and the Re.
publicans, who will control the legislature, insist that they will
carry out their pledge this time. If they do pass a bill providing
for open specifications there is every reason to believe that Gov
ernor Silzer will sign it.
There will be a whole lot of satisfaction in having all of the
state highway system finished within a comparatively short time,
but we would rather take a little longer time and save the peo.
pies money than to go on in the way things have been going.
New Jersey, today, is paying more per mile for its paving than
almost any other state in the Union. This is because of the favor
being shown the patented pavement trust. End this favoritism
and there will be pretty general satisfaction.
Incidentally, the vote in Middlesex county on the bond issue,
showing a decided majority against it, ought to have it's effect on
the Board of Freeholders even though the present board is re-
tanned in office. There are too many roads in Middlesex county
needing attention to waste money on any patented top dressing.
The anconcrete, which is admittedly much cheaper than any othe
kind Of pavement, is giving excellent satisfaction wherever il
has been properly laid and If the ~freeholders were really sincere
in their effort to make what money they have for road construc-
tion 90 as far as possible, they would adopt concrete the same
as some other countries have done. Later, if a top dressing is de-
sirable some ituminous material could be secured that would well
serve the purpose and on which there would be no expensive roy
alties to pay. ~

late stages of tuberculosis when
the patient was wasting away or
being consumed and was confined
to this disease of the lungs. Tuber-
culosis nowadays does not mean
what consumption used 20 mean,

off at which Claud Wakeland, ex-
pertinent station entomologist for
Idaho was the chief speaker. MT
Wakeland has spent six years III
western states studying the alfalfa
weevil and working on control
measures, He is probably the best
authority In the subject in the
country. At least he has had abun
dant opportunity to see the weevil
operate over extensive territory and
10 witness the attempts of hun
dreds OF farmers to control the pest
through various schemes as Wen as
to try out every conceivable methou
on his own account. AS result OF
il all he recommends spraying with
calcium arsenate, 2 pounds TO loo
gallons of water, as the. cheapest
and most effective of all methods
He stated that about 100000 acres
had been sprayed thus far and, CON
trary to the rumors which unin-
formed persons have spread about
no authentic cases OF stock poison
ing has ever been recorded. Some
stock, however, have been lost from
the use of hay from orchards where
heavy coatings Of lead arsenate re-
suited from the spraying of trees,
II is well known that when livestock
particularly horses, are turned into
orchards In the fall that they not
only eat the alfalfa about the trunks
which may have several coatings OF
lead arsenate upon II, but that they
also eat many OF the fallen apple
leaves which are also whitewashed
with poison. There Is a distinct
difference between these conditions
and that OF the field which receives
a very light spray OF calcium ar
senate which also does not have the
poisoning effects which
the lead has.
Mr.. wakeland gave a thorough
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1922-06-08

explanation of the life history and
the history of control work. He
told about the efforts of the u. s.
Department of Agriculture to intro
duce weevil parasites from Europe
and the benefits which one parasite
is now bringing to alfalfa growers
in certain parts of Utah where 1t
was first introduced. He expressed
great hopes for this means of con-
troll, but said that it would be neces-
sary to introduce other kinds of
parasites before the control would
be satisfactory. This government
is trying to do this, but is having
difficulty to get them to live in this
country. At the best, he said, it
will require several years before
these can catch up with the weevil.
In the mean time he urged that
farmers get together and cooperate
to put the pest under control before
the growing of alfafa becomes i'm
possible. So many questions were
asked at the conclusion of his talk
that the specialist was hardly al
lowed to sit down.
w. H. Doolittle, mayor of Ontar-
! 10, in a short address welcomed the
visiting delegates, who had assem-
| bled from all over the Snake River
valley from points as far as 80 miles
or more. He told of the advantages
to be. gained for the entire valley
through cooperation. H. G. Peck
! ham, president of the Idaho State
Farm Bureau, who presided at the
meeting, brought out may pertinent
points. He showed the necessity
for action in order to save the one
crop which is best suited to many
| types of land and the crop which has
! served as the basis of our agricul-
ture in maintaining soil fertility and
providing feed for dairying and live
stock husbandry. He called for
suggestions on how all Of the farm
ers of the Snake river valley might
cooperate to bring the pest under
control. President Van Petten of
the Ontario Commercial club added
to the effectiveness of the program
in a short talk in which he pointed
out the value in dollars, running
into hundreds of thousands, which
the alfalfa hay crop meant to the
county, and suggested that the val
ue of the government experimental
work should be given consideration
in preference to the theories of those
little familiar with the problem.
This sentiment seemed to carry
weight with the cowd, and the re-
mark that laws should be passed to
compel spraying alfalfa, unless it be
plowed up, was heard quite frequent
ly during the time after adjourn
