HAS URGED
LIBERAL
POLICY

Position Of the District in
Congress, particularly as regards
financial matters, is expected to
be strengthened within the next
few days when Senator Wesley
L. Jones, Of Washington, is form
ally named chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on appropriations.
Senator Jones has long taken
an active interest in the affairs
Of the District and is the author
Of much legislation of Importance
to the city. For many years he
has been a member of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the ap-
propriations committee. -
J Backs Liberal Policy
In this position he has fought
earnestly for liberal policy in
regard to the District and has
become thoroughly conversant
with the fiscal needs and require
mentS of the various District
institutions. .....
Senator Jones also has shown
deep interest in the District in
his work as a member of the Sen
ate District Committee. -
The Senator has been a mem
Der of the District Committee for
several years, and is now the
ranking Republican of the group.
He rarely misses meeting of the
District Committee, and has
taken an active part in the de
alterations of that body. even
when burdened with the duties
Of assistant Republican leader.
There is no doubt that Jones
will obtain the berth as chairman
Of the Appropriations Committee

- To Succeed Warren *
Jones will succeed the late
Senator Francis E. Warren of
wyoming. Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah is ranking Republican on
the committee and would, under
ordinary circumstances, succeed
to the Craftsmanship left vacant
by Warren'S recent death.
Smoot is chairman of the Fl
nance Committee, however, and
has announced that he wishes
ito retain that post. This leaves
Jones next in line, and he has
stated that he will resign as as
sistantl floor leader in order to
take the Craftsmanship.

100000 Burning Miles!

That's the way to test tire. On the road
where tires are used. So Miller sent this
new tire to the abrasive roads of Florida.
On the wheels of the Miller Test Fleet it
took more real punishment every 80 days
than the average tires take in twelve
months. These drivers are paid to muir
der tires. Six months they drove-650 to
700 miles every "a hours. Average road
speed of so miles an hour.

hind then-Miller engineers
said the tread on this new
tire would outwear that of
any standard tire ever built.

SEND CULLED SPUDS TO
MARKET IN CREAM CAN

Minnesota creameries will pay fan
prices this fall for culled potatoes,
providing they are first fed to cows
and converted into dairy products
Careful analyses show that, pound
for pound, potatoes have about the
same feeding value as ordinary sill
age. Silage has III pounds Of total
digestible nutrients in a hundred
pounds, while potatoes have III
pounds.
DR.. C. H. Eckles, chief of the dairy
division University Farm, St. Paul.
warns against overlooking potatoes,
since it has been found that 20 to 25
pounds daily per cow are all that can
be fed to advantage. Where it is
feasible to cook the potatoes, this is
a good plan and cooked potatoes may
be fed up to 80 or 35 punds day.
Greater amounts result in giving the
milk and butter poor flavor and may
cause Indigestion. Potatoes for dairy
feeding should be cooked to about the
same degree as for the table.
DR.. Eckles suggests that since a
bushel of barley contains about the
same amount of digestible food as
$50 pounds of potatoes, an easy way
to figure the feeding value of pota-
toes is to divide the price of bushel

BUSINESS
MEN WILL REBUILD

Clements bushes men who suffer-
ed heavy fire losses two weeks ago IN
the worst fire that ever visited that
village, have not only decided to re-
build but have actually let contracts
for new buildings. B. j. Engelen,
Springfield contractor, has contracted
with all four fire victims. He will re-
pair and remodel the brick building
of Otto Gerstman, which was quite
badly damaged. He also will erect
one story brick buildings for the
other three business men whose plac-
es were completely wiped out by the
fire.
For Louis Raddatz he will build a
one story building 30x60. For Gust.
Backer he will build similar build
ing 25x70. For John Kagel he will
build similar building 25x70. All
buildings will be of A. c. Ochs brick
and tile, and while they will be con-
tiguous, they will have separate walls
instead of party walls. This is for
better fire protection. Work on the
buildings will start as soon as the
debris has been cleaned up, on which
work is progressing.-Springield

WINDOW TO CARE
FOR BEAVER FAMILY

That Island Park is going to become
the home of family of beaver who
have been making their home in
county ditch now seems to be an as
sured fact. The county commission
ers received a complaint that a col
ony of beavers were blocking a coun-
ty ditch in Delton township. Auditor
Brown was asked to confer with the
Fish and Game department as to
what might be done, as it would be
violation of the law to modest the
beavers.
The Fish and Game department
has left the entire matter in the
hands of Warden d. P. Brady, chief
of the district. When it was suggest
ed that the animals be invited to
move to Island Park Warden Brady
was approached and readily gave his
consent. 1t is expected that the
council will approve of the matter in
their meeting Tuesday evening.
The city will have to erect tight
fence for a pen and will also have to
pay $3.50 per head as tax to the state.
The plan is to allow the animals to
make their home in the canal where
there i. always plenty of water and
their favorite food in abundance.
There are two old beavers and at
least three young ones. Warden
Brady says that it will be an easy
matter to trap them. They will un-
doubtedly become quite tame in their
new surroundings and will prove of
great interest to those who visit Is
land Park.

EARLY RIPENED WHEAT
ESCAPES RUST INJURY

Early ripening of spring wheat is
about the best insurance against
severe damage from black stem ruts
and farmers who grow this crop car
do much to reduce losses by proper
selection, preparation and fertiliza-
ton Of wheat land, by the use OF
early-maturing varieties, and by ear
ly sowing, says E. C. Stakman, plant
disease expert, University Farm, ST.
Paul.
Too much barnyard manure may
result in heavy, late-maturing stands
in which the plants do not dry quick
ly after rains or heavy dews, thus
furnishing ideal conditions for the
development of rust and giving it a
long time in which to develop. The
use of phosphorus on many soils will
help stimulating the production of a
good root system, by stiffening the
straw and by promoting early ripen-
ing. Ten years of experimenting at
University Farm have shown that
wheat grown on land properly fert-
ilized with phosphorus will ripen up
to a week earlier than that on land
heavily MANFRED and this difference
is often enough to allow the earlier
maturing crop to escape serious rust
damage.
AS far as possible, says DR.. Stalk
man, land on which wheat is sown
should have good air drainage and
low pockets should be avoided, as
rust develops rapidly where there is
too much moisture in the air and soil
and where grain ripens late. The
soil should be well prepared before
seeding so as to give the wheat a
good start.
Early sowing is extremely improt-
ant and early-maturing varieties
should be used as they ofetn escape
severe rust damage. The import
ance of these precautions was clearly
shown this year, DR.. Stakman points
out. In general, wheat which ripen-
ed normally by July 25 this year
escaped severe rust injury, while that
which ripened a few days later was
injured and many very
late fields were heavily damaged.

Sheriff Kise was called to the San

look over the activities of Albert
Kosel. He found Kosel with his car
and in his car was found some liquor
and after giving himself up he made
a dash for freedom, going into a

were sent for and put on his trail.
After giving chase for about four
miles he was captured and taken to
