DEALING UITg STCWAWAYS

German efficiency comes to the front again, not
only in the splendid performance of the Graf Zeppelin,
but in the in which Dr. Eckener and his crew
dealt with the stowaway who endangered the lives of
all aboard the Zeppelin at the moment of departure
from its berth at Friedrichshafen.
Instead Of being treated as hero, and being per-
mtted to receive the plaudts of this nation, Young
Buschkla given sound trouncing by members Of
the upon his discovery, made prisoner in
a small compartment and given bread and water
diet throughout the journey. Now he is to be suns
marily deported to Germany by the United States i'm
migration service.
This action will possibly tend to stop the stow
away business which has seemed to grow in popularity
since some young American whose name happily has
slipped into the discard, slowed away the Zeppe
lin the occasion of the Zeppellns first eastward
trip and received in Germany hero.
There is nothing heroic about the stowaway. He is
a selfish sef-centered individual, inspired with
desire bask in the spotlight created by the achieve
ments of others who have given time and thought to
an undertaking and willing to take q risk to put
ii through to completion.
We made mistake by permitting the first Yep
pelin sowaway to be treated hero by the German
people, instead of having him given to the GUS
tody of the American consulate and shipped back home
as quickly and quietly possible. Now that Ger
many has shown the way, it is to be hoped the Unit
ed States will that stowaways from this country
will be treated summarily the young German

when he jumped for the Graf Zeppelin, instead Of go

'NOah's Ark Is
Destined To Be
Epochal Picture

Two pictures in one is the best
way to explain Noah 5 Ark, - now
playing at the Fox Imperial Air
dome, and which was thoroughly

audiences.
The first part OF the picture is a

Noah built the Ark.
In the second half, the same prin,

The war scenes are vivid and
realistic, with an interesting roman
&c involving two American com
rades and German girl. The youth

AND NOW STRAW INK"

1t seems they are just beginning to
realize the possibilities in manufac-
turing useful things from the waste
products of the farmers fields.
The latest thing is printing ink
from straw.
Last week the Merrill (Wis.) Daily
Herald was printed on cornstalk pa
per with ink made from straw, the
first paper in the United States to
use straw ink.
Of the 1000 pounds in every ton of
straw, 1000 are now turned to useful
purposes as a result of research.
The Merrill Herald calls this fact,
Better farm relief than the McNary-
Haugen Bill"
A farmer near Merrill recently re-
ceived $162 for straw from a field of
oats which yielded him only $50 for
the grain. About GAO pounds of car
bon are obtained from ton of straw,
carbon being the principal ingredient
in ink. In addition to this amount of
carbon the ton of straw also contains

TELLS HOW TO TREAT
SNUFFLES IN SHEEP

Snuffles in shepp or lambs is moth
ing more than common cold or cat
arrh, and is commonly caused by re-
duced vitality from exposure to
dampness, rain or cold following such
operations as shearing, castrating
and docking, says DIR. w. A. Billings,
extension veterinarian, University
Farm, St. Paul. 1t may also be
brought on by milling of sheep in dus-
ty corrals.
Affected sheep have watery
discharge from the nose which later
becomes yellow, thick and stringy.
The dried pus sticks and mats up the
wool about the nose and mouth. The
eyes are infamed and watery and the
sheep may have difficulty in breath
ing and loss of appetite. In severe
cases, pneumonia may develop, fol-
low by exhaustion and death.
For treatment, provide the sick
sheep with clean shelter, free from
drafts, and bedded deeply with dry
straw. Very weak animals may be
given a dose of strong black coffee
a. a stimulant. Battle the eyes and
wash out the nose with solution of
boric acid which may be made by dis
solving about a tablespoonful of pow
dered boric acid in 2 quarts of warm
water. If a nose syringe or spray is
available, the boric acid solution, OF
one containing camphor or oil ii
eucalyptus, may be sprayed directly
into the nostrils. The inhalation OF
various fumes commonly recommend
ed for treatment of similar conditions
in man are not satisfactory.
Good care, clean forage that is
free from dust, plenty of water, and
attentive nursing will usually effect
cure, according to DR.. Billings, who
says the shepherd will have to be
patient and repeat the eye bathing
and nostril washing at least once a
day until the cure is complete.

AVERAGE GASOLINE
TAX NOW 3.72 CENTS

Eighteen states have increased
their gasoline taxes during the past
winter, either by legislative action
or by vote of the people at the polls
last November. Two states which did
not have gasoline taxes now have
them, New York starting with 2
cents and Illinois with 3. The aver
age rate for the forty-eight states
is now 3.72 cents per gallon.
One state, South Carolina, went
over the nickel gallon rate and col
lects six cents. Ten states have the
5 cent rate and eighteen collect
cents gallon, Utah's rate is 31a
cents, eleven states levy 3 cents and
only seven now collect cents gal
Ion.
Among the neighboring states,
Wisconsin and Missouri still retain
the cent rate, Iowa and North Da-
kota, Nebraska and Indiana collect
a cents and Montana is in the 5 cent
class
The tax is added to the price of
gasoline, yet the average price includ-
ing the tax is less than the price in
1920, before the gasoline tax was
tried out in any state. In 1920 the
motorist got only gasoline, today he
gets both gasoline and good roads
for his money.
