Women ns Jurors

(Dekalb County Hera1d)
 A bill giving women a right to serve on juries has been intro- duced in the legislature. It ap- pears to us that women compe- tent to fill this important duty would not care to sit among men jurors and listen to the sordid de- tails of many cases. Those wo- men who really desire the privI- lege generally live on sensational- ism and evidently do not possess the finer instincts generally as- sociated with Southern woman hood. At least we hope the bill will not be compulsory.

MONTANA LOSES TO
NORTH DAKOTA.

The Montana State College, repre-
scented by Theodore N. Johnson and
Paul r. Jackson, met the North Da-
kota Agricultural college An Fargo,
N. D., in an Intercollegiate debate,
Monday, April 4. Although tn de-
cision was unanimous for the North
Dakota orators, the state college men
made a very good showing.
The subject under discussion was
the Sterling-Towner bill question,
The North Dakotans used a very
novel scheme, lodging practically
every issue presented by our men, by
granting the larger part of the af-
firmative contensions and dwelling
on one phase of the question almost
entirely. The local team met theil
attacks on the points they brought
up, but were unable to cope with the
unusual situation to the satisfaction
of the judges.

rates. A number of the most prom
inent livestock men in the valley at
tended the meeting.
Monday afternoon the shippers
among the merchants, representing
both the wholesale and retail
branches, met in the club rooms and
prepared data for their side of the

The serial numbers on permits for
the importation of foreign birds and
mammals, which, has been under the
supervision of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture since May
%, 1900, reached a total of five fig
r in February. This indicates that
since that date, when the regulation
of the entry of foreign birds was first
intrusted to this department, permits
have been issued for 10000 separate
consignments. In recent years the
average number of permits annually
has been about 500. The total num-
Der of birds covered by permits is

SCANT RAINFALL
CUTS WHEAT CROP

WASHINGTON, April 10. - This
years winter wheat crop was forecast
yesterday by the department of agri-
culture at N ,317,O 900 bushels. the
smallest crop since 1918, and 1884,
900 bushels less than the average pro-
duction for the last 10 years.
The forecast was based on condi-
tions prevailing April 1, and upon the
assumption of average abandonment
of acreage throughout the winter and
average influences from now until
| harvest.
No estimate was made of the aban-
doned acreage, which will be indicated
in the May crop report, but in sum-
rmarizing conditions as they existed

in 1906 was made primarily because
of the whiteness of the grain as con-
trasted with the yellow hulls of
Kherson, the variety from which it
was selected. The first distribution
of seed was made TO farmers in 1918.
Six years later, in 1919, the United
States Department of Agriculture
estimated from reports received in
response to a QUESTIONABLE that the
variety was grown that year on l.
100000 acres. Tests made in 1913
to 1917 by 268 farmers showed the
yield of this variety to average Az
bushels more per acre than the vari-
cites commonly grown. An increased
production of 6,750,000 bushels in one
year might thus be attributed to the

s42.s5 is EACH PERSONS
SHARE IN UNITED STATES

Citizens of Julesburg will be inter-
ested in a statement just issued by
the U. s. Treasury Department to
the effect that there is now in circu-
lation $42.85 for every man, woman
and child in this country. Three years
ago this per capita was $57, and when
the civil war started it was but $14.
AS the business of a country ex-
pands the amount of our currency has
to be increased or money will be
"tight," prices will sink to disas-
trous point. If too much money was
issued we would experience Just such
conditions as now confront Germany.
Money wants to be just tight"
enough so people will have to work
for it and it will buy enough to sup
ply their needs. But keeping it at
the right point is the problem we
will always face, and always will
have those who complain that they
can't get hold of their share. So long
as the per capita wealth of this coun-
try is $42.85 financiers declare that
the nation is in good shape and on a
solid foundation. And even though
the other fellow may have part Of
our $42.S5, we still hope the finan-
ciers are right about it.
