AN CROP

Four hundred pounds of water
a load for two pack mules-is re-
quired to produce one pound of dry
Russian thistles, just what you could
carry in your pocket. For n ton
Of dry matter these weeds require
100000 gallons of water.
Of course. if a farmer lives in a
swamp Russian thistles might be a
good thing to drain his land, but
where water has value as a maker of
corn, hay and wheat they re scarcely
advisable. These weeds send their
roots down from four to six feet and
it is pretty hard to store water in the
soil so long as these roots are piping
it out.
Russian thistles are about a val
liable as Russian rubles, but don't
overlook the fact that 1000 healthy
Russian thistles will take out Of the
soil just about enough water to make
l 600 pounds of wheat or more than
that of corn and fodder. When there
are so many effective weed killers to
be had it appears that Russian this
ties is about the most expensive crop
a farmer can raise. - Development

lection for the 10000 shop employees

ments announced here today. The

railroad company and the shop craft
employees and will be carried by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany of New York.
Inauguration of the shop craft in
uranc plan is announced as the
second major achievement of the new

scale and new working rules and reg
ulations were negotiated by the as
ISOLATED shop employees four months
ago.. The Great Northern is the first
northwest road to begin group insus-
ance for the protection of it's en-
ployes.
Benefits include life insurance, to-
tai and permanent disability insur-
ance, accidental death and dismem-

ploye from obtaining insurance, while
the cost is extremely low. !

FEBRUARY FORDS
TOTAL TO ll6,O8O
SHORTEST MONTH MAKES NEW
RECORD-DEMAND STILL
DISSATISFIED

Detroit, Mich, April 3.-With
116,080 Ford cars sold at retail in
February a new record for the short
est month in the year has been estab-
lished. February sales exceeded those
of January by more than $1,000 and
marked the eleventh month in which
Ford sales have topped the 100, 900
line.
This sale record bears out pre-
dictions made at the opening of the
year that an acute shortage of Ford
cars for the season is certain and
this shortage is expected to be felt
within the next two months with the
increased volume of car buying which
is always attendant upon the spring
months
Anticipating a great increase in
the demand for Ford cars during the
present year the factory here laid
plans for increasing production to the
5000 car a day schedule and since
January 1st had been constantly
speeding up manufacture to reach
this figure. Demand so far has been
of such great proportions as to alb
sorb nearly all the production, and
stocks in hands of dealers are at
present the lowest they have been in
months.
February sales of 116,08O cars
were made in the face of unfavor-
able weather conditions in many sec
of the country which tied up
traffic and prevented many
deliveries.
Yet with even these unfavorable
conditions, the February sales top
ped those of January by Is per cent
and set a new high record for mid
selling.
Peak car sales are usually reached
the summer months with drops
the fall and winter. This feature
If automobile absorption by the buy
ng public has been completely chang
ID during the last few months through
he activities of the Ford dealed or
s~anization which has raised the
peak" line to include every month
n the year.

FVND EARL HUMAN BONES IN EGYP
HOW TO REVERENCE THE PAST
By Dr.. Frank Crane

The way to reverence tn, Past = to use
it in improving the Present
All the value of the Past to the Present
is that from it we may learn to make a bet
ter Future
You honor the foundation stones when
you build a beautiful house upon them,
not when you refuse to build anything on
| them and leave them to be covered with
sacrosanct moss.
Our fathers toed that we might go on
from where they left off. We do not honor
we rather despise them, when We begin
where they began and do no more than they
did.
The creates benefactor of mankind is
Man. We, living, are advanced because of
the labOrs of them now dead. Because our
fathers thought and Schemed and tOiled [
can get drink out Of the faucet instead
of having to carry a bucket of water up
three flights of stairs; l can get warm by
turning a little wheel on the radiat in
stead of spending half my time gathering
wood or digging coal; can telephone from
New York to Boston inste Id of having to
send q messenger on horseback the con-
temporaries of G. Washington did, I can
light my apartment by pushing a button in
stead of using flint, finder and candle or
even a smelly kerosene lamp.
All of these things are not mere IuXuries
that make me soft and fat; they save me
infinite mental labor and release my powers
to do something more important than heW-
ing wood and drawing water.
We have only hired girl or two in our
apartment, but really when we think of
what the dead have done for us we have
a thousand menials waiting upon us.
Because of the laws and inventions they
made, the food is prepared and put easily
I upon our table, the matter of the clothing
and the selection and preparation thereof
is reduced to a minimum Il speak of
male being) and all the energy we have
is loosed to do something worth while.
The business of the human race is to go
on, not to stand still or to go back.
And the safety of the race is to be found
only in going on. Statesmen, theoIogians
and philos~. hers have eXerted themselves in
order to make humanity safe by making it
stand still. But the only salvation is in
progress.
