Crops Worth Billion More, Meyer

Rapid City, s. D.-The scale has
turned and agriculture is coming
back, according to report made by
Eugene Meyer, commissioner of the
federal farm loan board, to President
Coolidge. Mr.. Meyer has been all
through the northwest, from Chicago
to the Twin Cities and onward to the
Pacific coast. Like others who have
been over the same trail, he brings
back glowing reports. The north
west is coming into it's own and while
there are great hazards to pass, prog
ress is being made, he said. The

more than a billion dollars next year,
than this year, in the judgment of

Calves kept together in large pen
are difficult to feed by hand unless
tied. When they are loose the milk
often is spilled, and the larger calves
get part of the smaller ones share.
Very simple stanchions may be con-
structed to prevent losses of milk and
to insure the equal distribution of the
feed. To prevent the calves from
sucking one another, it is best to keep
them in the stanchions for some time

Although spring and fall are the
favorite seasons for outside painting,
it may be done in either summer or
winter if necessary. Outside paint
ing can be done whenever the sur
faces are dry and the weather not
damp, frosty, or freezing, and the tenn
perature preferably between 60 and
80 degrees. New wooden buildings
need printing coat of paint as soon
as the weather permits, finishing
coats being added within the next
month or two. Timed roofing should
be painted as soon as laid, while
galvanized sheet iron may be allowed
to weather for year, usually with no
injurious effects, to give paint bet

Painting at regular intervals is the
cheapest way to keep buildings and
implements in good condition. The
building materials widely used today
such as yellow pine, cast iron, and the

pidly on exposure, and need frequent
painting. Even sheet iron that has
been timed or galvanized, to prevent
rusting, usually should be painted
because of imperfections in the coat

WASHINGTON.-I the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Atheism achieves it's purpose, which
it probably won't, a considerable
number of hale and hearty uniform
eel clergynen will be separated from
their jobs as chaplainS in the army
and navy
The A. A. A. A.. which is the
most militant Of a nalt dozen athe-
istic societies in the United States
brought q taxpayer citizen suit to
restrain the treasury from paying
chaplains in the army the navy and
the congress.
The District Of Columbia supreme
court had first opportunity to sock
the atheists and OH request OF the
government, dismissed the case on
the ground that the plaintiff hadn't
sufficient interest in the money paid
out for salaries to the chaplains
The A. A. A. A. then appealed to
the district court OF appeals. Both
sides have filed briefs and the mat
ter may eventually get up to the
United States supreme court.
1t is TO be suspected that the
atheists have no strong hope OF get
Ting all the chaplains fired and
it is probable that their case will
never even be tried on its merits
as the matter before the courts now
is only one of jurisdiction.
Marx Lewis, counsel for the A. A
A. A. says that the chaplains should
be turned back into the pulpitS
principally because:
l. Their employment is an abuse
cl the powers oil congress.
2. The constitution expressly for
bids it.
The constitution gives congress no
power to hire chaplains, says Marx,
and congress isn't supposed to do
anything except what the constitu-
ton says it may do

Says that 70 religious test can ever
be required as qualification for

federal government.
But the qualifications for the

national defense act OF 1920, are

tied by some religious denomination
or organization, and Of good stand.
ing therein, between the ages OF %
and As years Under army regula-
tions made in accordance with this
provision to standardlze the en-
oorsement of chaplains & by their
religious denominations, a candidate
must obtain the official deuomina-
ton approval before he may be con-
sidered fc1 an appointment"
Lewis says the opposition to chap
lains has existed since they were
first invented and that when the
army got along once fer q stretch OF
IL years without any it was proved
that they weren't necessary.
