Saving the Canvas

Farmers spend each year thousands
of dollars to replace canvas which
might be saved by subjecting the cloth
to one of the treatments worked out
in the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture, say
the specialists of that bureau. The
farmer has many uses for canvas and
unless he protects it from the destruc-
tive effects of moisture, mildew and
sunlight, it will be necessary for him
to replace it often. He uses it to
cover his hay and grain stacks, to
cover shocks in the field, to protect
his grain while hauling it to the mar
ket, and to cover his machinery.
Under the constant destructive in
fluences of the weather the usefulness
if the cloth will be destroyed in a
short time unless some preventive
treatment is given. The investiga-
tions conducted by the bureau of
chemistry have shown what are the
causes of deterioration in canvas and
also what essential characteristics
the cloth must have to make it mildew
and water resistant. With this in
formation as guide, waterproofing
formulas have been prepared and
tested which will greatly increase the
usefulness of canvas. 1t was also
learned that the INJURIOUS effect of
sunlight on canvas might be reduced
without sacrificing water resistance
by adding to the waterproofing for
mulas certain earth pigments COM
monty used in paints. 1t is thus pos
sible to practically double the life of
canvas for use out Of doors. In
selecting treatment, the use to which
the canvas is to be put must be taken
into consideration, say the officials.
Canvas that is to. be frequently fold
ed requires different treatment from
that which is permanently fixed, as
in some wagon covers. Formulas
for waterproof treatments and direc-
lions for mixing and applying them,
as we'll as information on the proper
selection of canvas for various pur-
poses, are given in Farmers Bulletin
1857 which may be obtained on re-
quest from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Red-Eyed Frogs
and Such

Omaha World Herald: Among the
other things which this country needs
just now is somebody to speak with
the authority of Roosevelt upon the
faunal freaks in which We are being
asked to believe.
There is Prof. Marsh who has just
returned from Darien with a brace
of white Indians, a South American
traveller who has brought back sing
ing dog with caulifiower ears, form
er Mayor Thompson of Chicago on
his way to find fabulous climbing
fish, and another member of the
Marsh expedition who specialized in
red-eyed frogs.
Right here at home We have had
such freaks of nature as litter Of
pups choosing a cat for a foster
mother in preference to a dog, a
rooster mothering flock of chickens,
a dog, and rooster who stage fake
prize fights and split the gate back
in the dressing room.
These things can't be, of course
They are beyond all reason. But We
have no one with the courage to brand
them for what they are. The phrase,
mature fake" has been lost out of
the language. There is nothing for
it apparently but to suffer these
things to pass as genuine while we
breed up > another Moses. to lead us
out of this wilderness of monstrosi-
ties back into the promised land of
nature as it ought to be.

The Tariff on Flax

This information was issued by
the Farm Bureau News Service, and
is authentic: "Exasperated over the
filling of a brief by industrial inter
ests in favor of a reduction in the
tariff schedule on flax, the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation has come
out strongly against such action by
the tariff commission. Any proposal
to reduce the tariff on flax at this
time constitutes a direct attack
against agriculture in the northwest,
said J. F. Reed, president of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation, be
cause the northwest is the large flax
producing area. Minnesota produced
last year 5,270,000 bushels of flax.
This is amount one third of the pro-
duction for the whole country, which
amounted to 17,429, 900 bushels. In
this connection it should be noted also
that in 1923, the United States i'm
ported approximately $4,000, 900
bushels of flax
The theory of tariff advocates has
always been that tariff is beneficial
to industries not well established. The
Farm Bureau holds that there should
be no reduction in the tariff on agri-

Watch Out.
for Automobiles

Evansville Journal: Another aged
man has been injured by an automo-
bile. This makes the second aged
man to have been sent to the hospital
in two days. The automobile that hit
him had just had an argument with
street car. The street car got the
best of the encounter, but the old
man lost in the final round.
1t is dangerous to be on the streets
these days. Automobile drivers
many of them-are usually in hurry
People who walk must not get in their
path. Death turks there.
It's insanity at the steering wheel:
People are buying automobiles when
they should be building savings ac-
count. They are too foolish to work
and save. So it is hard to expect
them to be anything else but insane
when they get tanked up with few
gallons of gasoline.
Pedestrians can only stand by and
let the fools drive on. Keep out of
their way. Sooner or later they will
commit suicide against a telephone
pole.

cultural products as such until gen
eral revision of the tariff is made. 1t
is the feeling of agricultural leaders
throughout the country today that If
agriculture is compelled to pay in
dustry a duty on the products of the
factory, a similar equality must be
accorded the farmer in the production
of his commodities.
Commenting further on the pro-
posed reduction in the flax schedule
and its effects, Mr.. Reed said: 1T
would appear that agricultural pro-
ducts have been deliberately singh
ed out for two reasons. In the first
place it is the intention of those who
are behind the movement to detract
the attention of farmers from the
fact that they are now paying an I'M
warranted tax to industry by reason
of the protective tariff on manufac-
tured products. In the second place
it is desired to get the farmer into
such. frame of mind that he will not
advocate a revision of the tariff on
manufactured products. 1t becomes
the duty of all the agricultural inter
ests in the Northwest, where the
surplus flax is produced, to make a
thorough study of the cost of produc-
ing this crop, so that, fortified by the
facts, they will be in position to COM
bat any attempts to reduce the lax
schedule

Billy Charles is
Suicide at An0ka
INDIAN, WELL KNOWN CHAR
ACTER HERE, GROWS DE-
SPONDENT; TAKES LIFE.

Billy Charles who lived on the Hen
ry farm. southwest of Franklin dur
ing the spring and fore part of this
summer where he was cultivating
sugar beets, committed suicide at
Anoka some time last Monday NOR
ming, according to report received
here that day. Billy had sold out
his farming implements and interest
in the beet crop last week and after
spending some money here for cloth
es, had evidently left for Anoka,
Mimi, although letter said to have
been written to cousin or nephew
at Redwood Falls is said to have
stated that Billy was tired of life
and that his body would be found in
the woods, and requesting that his
mother be cared for.
The next heard of Billy was of his
sad fate at Anoka: 1t is said that he
was seen near the Mississippi river
at Anoka by the sheriff's daughter
who observed the man evidently try
ing to write a letter. On passing
the same place short time later she
saw that the man had fallen over.
according to report received here, and
immediately informed her father. On
investigation they found check blanks
on the State Bank of Franklin in
pocket in his clothes and the sheriff
got into telephone connection with
the local bank Monday and partly es-
tablished the identity of the dead
man. Harry Thompson of Redwood
Falls, cousin of Billy, was at Anoka
on Tuesday and positively identified
the corps. He said that the coroner's
Investigation established the fact that
poison was found in the dead mans
mouth and that bullet had pierced
his temple.
Billy had been respondent for a
long time and at times had acted in
peculiar manner but none suspected
that he had intentions of killing him
self. He was kind hearted and de-
voted himself with great love to those
whom he felt was in his trust, includ-
ing his mother. He was about forty
years Of age and was descendent
of the Sioux Indians. Franklin Tri-

The Blot on the Constitution!

v *
The Eighteenth Amendment, because it
deprives the people of their liberty, is directly
contrary to the spirit of the American Constitu-
ton!
The Constitution says in effect no legislative
procedure shall be competent to deprive the
people of the liberty that it guarantees them
The Eighteenth Amendment says, in effect:
No legislative procedure shall be competent to
restore to the people the liberty that it takes
away from them!
Upon matter of personal conduct, or per-
sonal freedom and liberty-the true purpose of
the Constitution is thus outraged-thus in the
Eighteenth Amendment Congress, subservient
to the threat of an organized minority,
destroyed one of the stoutest and most
respected bulwarks of human liberty ever
devised by the wisdom of man!
If laws regulating the ordinary personal con-
duct of individuals are to degrade the Constitu-
ton and are to be made difficult of repeal then
one of the first conditions of respect for law is
destroyed.
The old saying that "the way to get bad law
repealed is to enforce i" carries no weight.

and unscrupulos domination of the Anti-Saloon Leaq

opportunity to attend the great
western show, and will afford thous-
ands and opportunity to attend the
various conventions scheduled for
Denver during Stock Show week.
Great Show IL Promised
Indications are that the 1924
event will entertain the largest
number of visitors in the eighteen
years OF its history. Word has been
received from Chicago and Kansas
City that Pullman car are being
chartered to bring stock yards boys
and feeder buyers from these two
cities. Other Pullman cars will be
chartered to bring Stock Show and
Horse Show judges from the East.
Thousands of feeder cattle buyers
in the corn belt states will take adj
vantage of the low rail rates to
come to Denver and buy a few car
loads of the choice purebred cattle
offered for sale during Stock Show
week.
Early entries indicate that the
eighteenth annual event will eclipse
all others in point of animals con-
signed to the various classes and de-
partments of the show. Hereford,
Shorthorn and Angus breeders are
coming strong, as are breeders in
dairy cattle, swine and sheep class
