GOING DRY

American conviviality was de-
posted in the graveyard of a
by-gone era with the advent of
prohibition, and its dry-as-dust
bones will never be resurrected
with full force regardless Of the
death of prohibition.
So declared John Mccormack,
silver-throated Irish tenor, as he
sang the swan song of the hail
fellow -well-met era of pre-prohi-
bition days.
Thirteen years of wandering in
the desert of dryness has so
warped the tastes of the Ameri-
can public that when prohibition
is laid to rest, speakeasy patrons
Cormack believes, raise the white
cormack believes, raise the white
flag of sobriety.
In fact. said Mccormack, less
liquor will be drunk in this coun-
try after repeal than in any
prohibition year.

Stitution Hall tonight.

the chamber to drive out of town the
type of peddler who comes into the
county from other cities and States
and completes with local merchants, it
was decided after the matter had
been given considerable discussion. 1t
was pointed out that the local bust
ness man pays for a corporation
license, whereas, the drifting peddler
pays nothing but a county tax and
sometimes gets by with no tax. 1t
was also found that the majority of
these peddlers handle low quality
produce and thereby hurt the bust
ness of legitimate merchants and
farmers. A committee was named to
cooperate with the various chambers
of commerce of the county and other
organizations who are fighting the
same situation. This committee will
also seek to further interest the Town
Council in the matter. The following
comprise the committee: Morris

Advice Is Given
On Treatment
OF Seed Wheat
Carbon Disulphide Said To Be
Best Fumigant-DirectiOns For
Treatment Made Clear

With the approach of wheat seed
ing season attention is being given
the treatment of seed wheat. The
following article was released from
the office of County Agent o. W.
Anderson.
The injury to stored grain amounts
to $50 of the entire crop and during
exceptionally bad years the injury
amounts to 1919. The greater part of
this injury is done by the Augoumois
grain moth and the pea and bean
weevils.
Cleanliness is very essential to pre-
vent depreciation Of insects. Keep
cribs and granaries clean and harvest
the grain as soon as possible after
maturity. Do not allow it to remain
in the field, as several insects infest
the grain in the field. Sell or feed all
grain in the spring.
Carbon Disulphide or Bisulphide is
the best fumigant. 1t is a slightly
yellowish liquid having a very dis
agreeable odor. Use one pound for
each 80 to 100 bushels of wheat, and
allow the gas to remain confined SO
to AZ hours. The wheat should be
leveled off and covered with a piece
of canvas or feed bags. Then the
Carbon Disulphide should be poured
over the canvas or feed bags and the
place closed
The precautions in regard to the
use of this are that there should not
be anything near to ignite and also
care should be taken not to inhale the
fumes.
