SCHOOLS ARE
OPEN TO-DAY

with completion OF the course

ING the dry districts, we're put
through an intensive training
course here and sent back to
their territories to begin the task
of ilnparting to the remainder Of
the enforcement army new policies
as mapped out by Director Amos
w. w. Woodcock.
Crime Detection
The course included all details
Of prohibition enforcement, with
special emphasis placed on modern
ideas of tn psychology of crime
detection and the treatment of
suS1ects after arrest.
At the opening of the school
in Washington the agent-students
were advised by instructors to
make use Of boys for under

ing that youngsters get inforrna-
ton Of bootlegging by playing in
the vicinity Of buildings. under

brought to his, attention. He has
banned the use Of boys in en-.
forcement work.
No Bad Manners
The district schools will be Of

One of the things that has brought about the
change has been the development of the numerous
Colleges of Agriculture Nothing like them is known

any good; but many of the progressive farmers OF

Our National and State departments of Agricul-

THE GROOM GETS A WRITE-UP
Montevideo News

A feminine reader has our gratitude for turning
in the following wedding story, which gives more
than ordinary mention of the groom. 1t is general
ly agreed that the groom doesn't amount to much
at the ceremony, ordinarily but he gets his just dues
in the following report:
Mr. Phil Bert son of Mr. and Mrs Brazil, Nut
became the bridegroom of Miss Equal Rights at noon
today. The ceremony took place at the home of
the grooms parents and was largely attended.
Mr.. Nut attended by Mr. Pate grooms-
man. AS the groom approached the altar, he was
the cynosure of all eyes, Blushing prettiy, he
piled to the questions of the clergyman in low but
firm tones. He charmingy clad in three piece
suit consisting of coat vest and pants The coat of
dark MARTIAL draped around the shoulders
and tastefuly gathered under the arms. A pretty
story current among the wedding guests that
the coat the worn by his father and
his grandfather their wedding day. Mr.. Nut
would neither affirm deny the truth of this
timental touch. The vest sleeveless and met in
front. 1t gracefully fashioned with pockets
and at the back was held together by a strap and
buckles of some material.
The groom's pants were of dark worsted and
were suspended from the waist falling in straight
line almost to the floor. The simplicity of
the garment relieved by the right pantlet which
was caught up about four inches by Boston
Brighton underneath, revealing just the artistic
glimpse of Hole proof above the boots of genuine
leather laced with strings of the color. The
effect was rather chic. Beneath the vest the groom
wore blue gallusses, attached fore and aft to the
pants and passing in graceful curve each
shoulder. This pretty and useful part of the
tune would have passed unnoticed had not the
groom muffed the ring when Mr.. Pate slipped it to
him. When he stopped to recover the errant circlet
the pants and suspenders prettly revealed His
neck encircled by collar characterized by a
delicate saw edge, around the collar cravat
loosely knotted so that it rode under his left ear
with that studied effect of carelessness which marks
the supreme artistry in Dress
Mr.. Pate's costume essentially like the
grooms and when the two stood at the altar hush
of awed admiration enveloped the audience at the
complete and wonderful harmony of their raiment
Actually, you could hardly have told one from the
other had it not been for patch of court plaster
worn by the groom over nick in his chin made by
a safety razor Neither Mr.. Nut Mr. Pate wore
a hat at the ceremony.

THE FARMERS WARFARE

While farming is apparently the most
peaceful of pursuits, in reality the farmer is
everlastingly at war. Not with his fellow
men, but with the billions of insects and other
animal life which menace his crops on every
hand.
Unfortunately, the farmer is in most
cases poorly equipped to carry on this inces-
SAINT warfare effectively. The boil weevil, the
army worm, the corn borer, the gypsy moth,
the cabbage butterfly and other hordes of in
sects and parasites are working day and
night to set his best efforts at naught. And
each of these pests presents distinct prob
lem
In this warfare, as in warfare among
human beings, science must be brought into
action in order to secure the desired results
Without scientific aid in fighting the pests
which menace the farmers crops, it is as
serted by high authorities that in time HUI
man life would become extinct Theinsects
and parasites would completely overrun the
earth.
1t is some comfort to know, then, that
under the auspices of the Department of Ag-
rlculture, earnest scientists are working dill
lgently to find better means of controlling
these pests, and are meeting with fair de-
gree of success.
Information of the utmost value to the
farmer is available through the county farm
agents, bulletins from government sources
articles by experts published in the press,
and the example of informed neighbors. He
owes it to himself to profit by this Informal
ton and cooperate with these agencies which
stand ready to aid him in his warfare against
destructive insect pests.

Traverse County Official
Faces Serious Charge
Auditor Arrested for ApprOpriating
$1,123l4 of Game and Fish
License Money

K. E. Cummings, 33, Wheaton,
Traverse county auditor, was ar
rested Saturday on a charge of
misappropriating $1,123.14 of pub
lie funds.
Cummings, who has held office
since August Is, 1928, S. c. Oden-
borg, Traverse county attorney said,
confessed he diverted the money
for hunting and fishing licenses to
his personal use.
The county auditor, Odenborg,
said, indicated his desire to plead
guilty to the charge, which carries
a penalty of one to seven years in
the state prison. Following ar
raignment before Bertha Bates,
justice of the peace, he was to be
taken to Morris late Saturday to
plead before Judge S. A. Flaherty.
At the same time, County At

and fish department for extreme
laxity in keeping check of licenses
sold throughout the state by county
auditors"

WHO ARE THE "RUBES"


1t is about time the city people and the city
newspapers quit referring to the American farmer
a Rube" and caricaturing him as a low-brow Euro
pean peasant, only slightly Americanzed by set of
chinwhiskers la Uncle Sam.
The trouble with city folk, especially in New
York and elsewhere in the East, is that they get
their impressions Of the farmer of everything
else, from European sources. Because the mass of
people ting the soil in Europe uneducated, un-
Intelligent peasants, tenants for the part and
tied to the soil American has been so tied

er penetrated any farther into America than the
shores of the Atlantic Ocean think American farm
ers must be the same type.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. No
individual or class Of our people has been more
prompt to apply new methods of science, new in
ventions, new ways of doing old things, than the
American farmer The implication when he is re-
ferred to as "Rnbe" is that he is stupid, unpro-
sressive content to do everything as his faith
