THE LOMENS OF NOME

In direct violation of law, the present Judge Lomen of Nome connived and did persuade the Lutheran Mission at Teller to sell the Lomen Company it's fe- male reindeer.
 When Judge Lomen offered to buy the reindeer of the Swedish Evangelical Mission at Golovin, Judge Lomen was informed on July 14th, 1915 as follows:
 "The Mission Board could not dispose of their female deer without violation of their con- tract with the government
 Nevertheless, Judge Lomen continued to persuade the vari- ous Missions to violate their agreements not to sell reindeer and went so far as to interpret the law to them thus-"If the deer were sold to them (the Lo- mens) under the present con- tract the Government could penalize the Board to the ex- tent ONLY of confscating the number in the herd of deer which were over and above the original number in the herd at the time the contract was made"
 When the Lomens were push ing the natives off the Buckland range, mixing herds to the de- triment of the natives, and re- tusing to "unmix" them when requested, Alfred Lomen wrote "The contract was at least bind ing upon those who signed for themselves, and as to whether they understood or not is matter for judicial determina- lion and not that of the Bu- :eau" Fat chance for the poor native with Judge Lomen on the bench to make this Judicial determination"

The Lomens Of Nome--Reindeer Herders

When the Bureau of Educa- tion told the LOmens that the natives insisted on separating the herds, Alfred Lomen wrote:
 If you proceed with the sepa- ration as you state that you will, and should cause damage to our herd, we will hold you re- sponsible for such damage.'
 Alfred Lomen knew when he wrote that letter that his father was the judge of that district, and yet he does not hesitate to make such threats.
 In writing this short article, we make no statements that are not based on writings of the parties interested, the Missions. the Bureau of Education, and the Lomens.
 The conclusion is inevitable that Judge Lomen knew the Mi sions had no right to sel! the reindeer and yet he cOnnived and encouraged their sale and purchase; that the Laps went onto the Buckland range as tres passcrs and afterwards mixed the herds; that after the herds were mixed, the Lomens pur- chased the Lap herds and then devised a scheme Of herding the reindeer for the Natives where by the Natives would lose all; and that Alfred Lomen took un- ethical advantage of the fact that his father was the judge and made threats of lawsuits to stop the Natives from doing what they had a right to do- namely, separate and herd their own deer instead of paying Lo- men to do it.

CATS, GOATS STRUGGLE
 ON LONELY ISLAND

"A hundred and fifty miles out in the Pacific, of the coast of Mexico,' says a writer in The Wide World Magazine, 'lies the uninhabited island of Guada- lupe. It is about tWenty-one miles long by half as Wide,-a huge rock, almost continuously girdled with cliffs rising in the center to an elevation of 4,523 feet from the sea. Early explor- CTS left goats and house cats on the island and these have multi piled until now there are belived to be about 10000 goats and probably 50,000 cats.
 "The result has been that all vegetation has virtually disap- peared under the onslaught of the goats, while the hordes of cats have exterminated what ever wild mammal and bird life formerly existed.
 What will become of both goats and cats when their food supply has been entirely ex- ilausted is an interesting pro- olem, but I do not think I should care to be maroOned on the is- land when that state of affairs comes to pass"

Grafton Lee Brown, in The Mary
lander, says it is not hard to under
stand why so many members of the
General Assembly were anxious to
put in their appearance at the
special session called by the Gov
ernor.
1t was really the best days work
some of these members had done in
years-$2O.OO was minimum COM
pensation for their bother, while the
delegates from Western Maryland
earned hundred dollras or more in
an hour and a half.
And | am frank to say that they
were not worth it. Although do
believe that the members of the
Legislature are underpaid on all
except special occasions.

The Senate has ratified the London
Naval Treaty. President Hoover
has signed it. Only nine Senators
voted against it and of these an ed
itor declares, 1T is extremely doubt
full that with the most careful Sc
lection it would be possible to find
any other group of nine whose
opinion would weigh less in the
nations scales of judgment" Yet it
took tremendous effort to bring
out expressions of public opinion,
thereby making the treaty possible.
The opinion is there, solid, incon-
trovertible. But the people of the
United States are both apathetic and
optimistic. Again must they be
stirred up to see the danger ahead.
Zone of the greatest fights ever
waged'', states the Nation, "Will
be on in Congress after the ratifi-
cation between those who are op-
posed to further warships and those
super-patriots and manufacturers Of
ships and guns who will at once be
in the breach demanding that we
build up to parity"

Ground Wheat Will Serve AS
Ration For Dairy Feed

Investigation at number OF EXper-
iment Stations has shown that ground
wheat has about as much feeding
value as corn for milk production,
it is stated by John A. Conover,
specialist in dairying for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.
However, Mr.. Conover points out,
since wheat is but little higher in
protein than corn it should be mixed
with some high protein feed, such as
cottonseed meal, linseed meal or
other feed of this type. In view of
the present low price for wheat,
much of it will undoubtedly be fed to
livestock this year, it is said.
A ration composed of from Is to
80 per cent of ground wheat will
prove the most satisfactory amount
since dairymen report that animals
fed as much as so per cent ration of
ground wheat often go "off" their
feed. However that amount in sew
eral trials has never been known to
give bad results.
The following mixtures, are sug-
gested by Mr.. Conover as suitable to
be fed with clover mixed hay and
corn silage:
$50 lbs. corn cob meal, 200 lbs.
ground barley or oats. $50 lbs.
ground wheat, 200 lbs. cottonseed
meal al per cent? 100 lbs. linseed
meal.
300 lbs. corn and cob meal, 800 Id.
ground wheat, 200 lbs. gluten meal,
200 lbs. linseed meal.
Where all legume hay is fed fine
following ration is best:
45O lbs. corn and cob meal, 800 lbs
ground wheat, $50 lbs. cottenseed
meal, al per cent?, 100 lbs. gluten
meal or linseed meal.

It is stated that the Bureau of Re-
search, which was set up by the Pro-
hibition Enforcement Authorities
to ascertain whether consumption of
alcoholic beverages is increasing or
decreasing, would disregard infor-
nation from interested organizations
and after finding the facts from in
dependent and unbiased sources
would publish them, regardless of
whether they are favorable or not.
The aim of the bureau will be to
get the facts, be they good or bad.
In case they are bad, they will be
interpreted as indicating deficiency
in the prohibition lineup and will
form the signal for tightening up.

Farm Roads And Small Towns.

Farm Roads And Small Towns
A nation wide movement is under
way to bring about the construction,
on an extensive scale of secondary
or farm-to-market roads. So long
as IS per ceut of American farmers
are cut off from their markets during
several months of each year by i'm
passable roads, we will have an
agricultural problom.
Good secondary roads would ben
eft many persons besides farmers.
Such roads would briug business to
storekeepers in many small towns.
They would allow the farmer to 90
20 or so miles for his necessities or
amusements. They would offer
tourists the attraction of new terri
tory and freedom from traffic con-
gestion found on main highways.
They would bring greater prosperity
to the farmer and give him more
money to spend.
Brains, rock and little asphalt
can pull the farmer out of the mud
for much less cost than the loss now
suffered because of bad roads.

GROUP ACTION ESSENTIAL
Coming Marketing Conference
Should Be Of Great Aid
To State Farmers

The controversy regarding reduc-
ton of acreage planted in wheat,
which has been given prominence in
the press throughout the country,
serves to emphasize the need for and
value of such events as the Farmers
Marking Conference that will be
held at the University of Maryland
on August IL to Is, according to DR..
I. B. Symons, Director of Extension.
A successful marketing program, he
states, must be based upon a pro-
gram of production that is planned
in the light of all the information
that can be obtained regarding sup
ply and demand, as we'll as other
economic conditions.
DR.. Symons further points out
that improvements in methods en-
ployed in marketing farm products,
whether they are in the line of adap-
ton to demand, or in the strictly
marketing procedure, are matters
which cannot be effectively handled
by individuals and, therefore, it is
essential that producers organize
and place themselves in position for
group action.
The Farmers Marketing Confer
ence offers Maryland producers an
opportunity to meet together and
consider the problems most vitality
affecting the profitable marketing of
their products. At the afternoon
sessions, those in attendance will
divide into groups according to the
products in which they are most in
terested. Grain and livestock grow
ers will form one group, fruit grow
ers another, dairymen third, vege-
table growers a fourth, and tobacco
growers fifth. Information will be
given on the general situation re-
garding each commodity and prac-
tical problems will be discussed.
Every facility of the University
has been placed at the disposal of
the farm people of the State during
the four days of the Conference and it
is expected that large number from
each county and from each organ
ization will take advantage of the op-
portunity for seriously studying some
OF their most perplexing problems.
