National Affairs
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Great Britain is going through a
financial crisis, second only in Sc
verify to the one encountered by
Germany few weeks ago. The
Labor government has fallen and
a coalition Nationalist government
has taken it's place. Every Ameri-
can, of course, hopes and believes
that England will weather the
storm, and get back to something
approaching normalcy, even though
normalcy in England these days
isn't what is used to be.
The Labor government split on
the rock of economy and the dole.
A budget deficit of something like
$6O0,O00,000 was disclosed. The
extreme laborites wanted this
made good by the imposition OF
more taxes. The conservatives de-
clared that this would only further
impede business recovery and that
the deficit should be made good in
a different way. They are said tc
have proposed that one fourth oil
the deficit be made up by addi-
tional taxes and three fourths by
a reduction of expenditures, in
Guiding decrease in the dole. Tc
this the laborites refused to agree
Premier Macdonald is said to have
sought a compromise by which
half of the deficit would be made
up by increased taxes and hall
through a reduction in government
salaries and the dole. The com
promise was not agreed to and the

To celebrate a victory the Greeks

winged figures called Victories to

The Carbon County news., 1931-09-17

Isn't there something a little
significant in this {? With the coun-
try already staggering under a
load of taxation, needing to cut
salaries and the dole of the unem-
ployed, there is no suggestion that
the problem might be solved in
part by naval limitation. 1t is to
be hoped that some of our ardent
pacifists in the United States will
think this over carefully. They
seek from time to time to put I'm
Gle Sam in the wrong, to show that
other nations are eager and anx-
ious to disarm, and that it is up
to the United States to lead the
way. Yet in France the leading
military power of the world, and
in Great Britain, the leading naval
power of the world, there doesn't
seem to be the slightest DISPOSE
tion to disarm further. Even a cri-
sis in the British budget doesn't
bring such suggestion from the
supposedly pacilfist left wing of
the labor party. They might advo-
cate tariff even, but no reducing
naval expenditures.
What's wrong with this picture
anyhow? Somebody evidently has
been feeding us some particularly
unintelligent and misleading pac-
ifist propaganda. Won't some lead
ing professional pacifist now arise
and explain the British situation
to US? No such explanation will be
forthcoming unless our profess
sional pacifists can find some way
to blame it all on to Uncle Sam
In which case Of course, "explana-
tions" will be both frequent ano
voluminous.

May Day Celebrations
Custom of Pagan Times

May day was first dedicated to the
Goddess Maie-the GODDESS Of fertil-
ity-many, many years ago. 1t was
originally a pagan custom celebrating
the return Of spring. The Romans,
too. as early as o39 b. G., because Of
a bad harvest instituted similar Gus
tom Of worship dedicated to their god
dess Flora. The Roman festivities e1-
tended from April % to May ) every
year. THIS celebration was called
Fioralia or Floral Games.
In England during the Middle ages
we find literary illusions to their May
day celebrations. Very early on May
day morning The girls and boys went
to the woods ITO fetch the flowers
fresh" The expedition was called
going a-Maying."
They picked arIHtuls OF flowers and

was crowned queen. She was throned
under a floral arch and presided over
the Jubllation. This custom of select
Ing a May queen was also relic OF
the Roman days.

Importance of Quality
of Legume Hav for Cow

Over In Michigan there Is q herd
that has siy-year average OF 1900
pounds OF milk per COW. This is
splendid production. 1t would be q
creditable average for one year. For
six-year period il Is wonderful. The
owner Of the herd. AFR. Hunt, was In
teryiewed and gave his views on feed
Ing to Hoard's Dairyman. His main
emphasis was not on this or that grain
mixture but on the quality OF the L.
gume hay fed. He believes there is
an important relationship between the
quality OF the hay and the health OF
the herd. Well cured egume hay con-
tains essential vifamins which aid In
assimilation OF minerals. and min
erals have very important bearing
on health.

SHOULD GULL HENS
DURING SUMMER MONTHS

BOHEMIAN, July 27.-One of the
most overlooked ways of increasing
egg production is culling during the
summer months.
This statement was made by Miss II.
E. Cushman, extension poultry spe-
cialist, after study Of reports from
Montana poultry demonstration farms,
During the last eight months the total
number of eggs per hen varied from
61.2 to 1649. A large number of the
low producing flocks might have been
nearer the mark of the high producers
if culling had been practiced rigidly,
in the opinion Of Miss Cushman.
Culling, in the opinion of the poul-
try authority, should be done from the
baby chick period until the hen has
started downhill in production. Mid
summer culling is probably overlooked
in many instances and yet it is the
time when the physical characteristics
of poor layers are most in evidence,
she says.
A poor layer at this time OF the year
will have shrunken comb and wattles.
rather pale in color. The layer will
have plump comb that is bright red
in color and waxy looking the spe-
cialist deplares The legs, especially the
shanks also tell the production story.
A laying hen will have shanks some
what pale in color and appear to be
bleached The poor layers shanks will
have a deep, rich, yellow color. This
applies also the color of the vent
1t is usually good practice to Gull
all hens over two year of age. They
rarely are heavy producers after the
second year, except the lighter breeds
and should be culled because they eat
up feed the layers should have. An
other point which Miss Cushman men-
lions is melting. A hen that is melting
this time of the year is no doubt a
poor layer and should be culled rather
than allowed to remain with the flock
during the expensive winter feeding
period

Fire Notes.
One hundred and fifty head of pack
animals were rushed to Sylvanite and
are working out of there. Two strings
of horses were sent by express from
Missoula to Standpoint and trucked
from there to the fire. A special train
of four cars was run from Kalispell
to Troy Tuesday consisting of three
cars-60 head-of horses and mules
and one of equipment. Two truck
loads of these were trucked in, others
were trailed in.
F.. j. Jefferson, regional fire inspec-

fight.
There have been three or four small
fires in the district during the past
week. some of them on forest associa-
