Education and Public Welfare

4 There is no question but what the
promotion of education is the most
important duty Of free and demo-
cratic government. Therefore, q De-
partment Of Education IS very desir-.
able but there are those also who are
clamoring also for q separate depart
melit Of public health with q cabinet
officer But there are certain groups
who maintain that the two should be
combined as the Department of Pub
lie Welfare and they would place at
the head representative of the Medi-
cal Military Staff with q medical
corps and division To handle educa-
tional matters. Some see in this an
attempt Ia ultimately Prussianize our
whole educational system and real
military training would become . Ne
alixation SO devoutly wished for by
those who profit By war.
The suggestion Of consolidating the
War and Navy Department into one
seems feasible but guard your schools
as You prize your liberty, the right
sof free speech, a free press, and the
right of free assembly with each man
held responsible for his personal acts.
Our state educational systems should
not be dominated and directed from
Washington.

Bureau of Markets

There are rumors also that it would
be quite an advantage and incident
ally reduce expenses to transfer the
Bureau of Markets from the Depart
rnent Of Agriculture to the Depart
n1ent OF Commerce where much statis-
tical work is now being carried on.
1t is said this would also greatly bene-
fit commercial interests and the farm
er it seems, is not particularly inter-
ested. 1t is the privilege of the farm
er to grow crops and the business
world will attend successfully to their
marketing. Some few have the temer-.
iety to object and to insist that the Blu.
rean Of Markets should deal fully with
the problems of marketing the farm
ers' crops getting information about
crop conditions and should be enlarg-
ed 50 as to know world conditions Of

Some Alaska Rumors

Alaska has not yet received proper
consideration it is said, at the hands
of Congress and her growth has been
retarded and there can be no denial
of this, but why so /? There are things
it is claimed, that would help mater
tally. For example, turn over the for
estry reserve to the Department Of
the Interior, thus removing it from
the control of the Department of Ag-
riculture.N .NIts advocates claim the ad-
Ininistration's problems would be
vastly improved thereby. Too much
bureaucracy, they say, that should be
gotten rid of. This consolidation would
enable better administration and the
proper industry would be enabled to
secure Is or 20 years. cheap supply
of raw material-and then what?
Others say it would mean within Is
years country stripped of all lum-
ber and the stump region destroyed
by fire as in this country. And for
whose benefit would it be? But the
other side reports that lumber grows
to be utilized and not left to be vast
ed. The charge is then thrown back
the real motive back of it all is that
by consolidation all in one department
the Interior-it would be easier for
the interests to get control and the
2 per cent are watching the outcome.
Anyway says the other side, timber
forests are agricultural products and
all agricultural products should be
under the control of the Department
of Agriculture. That seems logical
and sensible. Then why not transfer
the control of all surface land rights
in Alaska to the Department of Ag-
riculture since agriculture is the
chief consideration That does not
seem unreasonable. s~. e..
In some quarters there are persist
osat rumors that the Government built
railroad of Alaska cannot succeed un-
til it is turned over in private hands
and well bottled up by certain finan-
cial groups for all business they say,
is being strangled and when the pro-
posed change is made there will be
wonderful advancement for the bene-
fit of the special 2 per cent.
Keep an eye also on the shipping
interests as to why Governmental
ownership will not be permitted to
succeed. subsidize the ship but de-
stroy. agriculture.

EWES NEED EXERCISE i
g.. BEFORE LANDING TIME

IF the ewes have had plenty of ex-
ereise during the winter and are in
good thrifty condition and have good
quarters, troubles should be few at
lambing time," says George j. Baker,
livestock specialist of the North Da-
kota Extension Division.
"As general rule, a eve should
have about two to three pounds of
good roughage and one-half pound of
grain daily. If you have good, we'll
cured alfalfa hay with lots Of leaves
on, two or two and one-half pounds
Of this will make splendid ration
alone. About two pounds of corn 81
lage or roots fed with one and one
half pounds of any good legume hay
makes a good ration. Timothy hay is
very unsatisfactory, as it often causes
serious constipation. Sheep enjoy nib
bling. at some roughage fed in tlia'
yard on the ground or in ranks, such
as little rniilet hay or oat straw,
but they should never be allowed to
run to the stack. Compel ewes to. trav-
ell considerable distance from their
beds to their feed whenever the wealth
er and condition of the yard permit.
"The early lamb is more valuable
than the late one. We must provide a
warm place for the ewes which are
to lamb early. The eve should be in
a comfortable pen by herself when she
lambs and the successful shepherd will
see that watchful attendant is with
the ewes both day and night. x
In case a eve starts to lamb be-
fore she is separated from the flock,
it is always best to allow her to fin
ish lambing before she is moved. 9th
erwise, if she is disturbed, in many
cases she may delay lambing for a
considerable length of time and some
times even until the lamb has died.
Ii possible never allow the lambs to
become chilled. A chilled lamb may be
revived by dipping it into warm water,
keeping your hands in the water with
the lamb, and rubbing IL gently to.
start circulation. Dry the lamb thor
oughly, help 1t nurse and keep il
warm. In some cases some of the wool
may need to be removed from around
the udder Of the eve so that the lamb
can easily find the teats. Young ewes
may need to be held q few times while
the lambs nurse. Very weak lambs
may need to be fed some Of the ewes
milk with spoon, till they are strong
enough to stand and nurse.

AtheI Lindorf, Talented Harpist,
To Study in Italy During Summer;
Is NosD Doing Lyceun1 Concert Work

Miss Athel Lindorf, only daugh-
ter of Mrs. Murrel R Lindorff. 819
Seventeenth street, and known as
an exceptionally talented harpist,
will study in Italy this summer.
Miss Lindorff, who is now on the
lyceum stage, will complete her
contract with the Harp Singers of
the Redpath company, April 80, and
will return home before leaving for
abroad in June. At present she is
playing with three other young wo-
men in West Virginia, the quartet
being booked out of Pittsburgh.
Desire to further her studies with
internationally known harpists was
created in Miss Lindorff last year
when she appeared in a lyceum
course with several other girls. The
four decided to make the trip to-
gether, three of the young ladies
going to the Fine Arts Conservatory
of Paris, while Miss Lindorff will
go on to Italy. They will return
before fall
While visiting here several weeks
ago, Miss Ldndorff appeared on a
program at the First Methodist
church. She has given of her tai
ent on many occasions locally and
is well known in music circles.
Miss Lindorff began her study of
the harp about eight years ago. she
attended the schools in this city,
and studied the harp for four years
at the Immaculate Conception of
Davenport Last summer, the Rock
Island girl was student of Profess
sor Rodgers of Providence, R. L.,
known throughout the country as a
harpist.
On her return to this city after
several months of study In Italy,
