Col. Adler declared that adequate

should be threshed out when the
senate considers the CONSUMPTION
measure later in the week.
Chairman Shepard D-Tex) pre-
dicted that the military committee
would report out the Burke Wads-
worth bill tomorrow with onl va
few dissenting votes.
Registration Planned
The measure would require all
men between 81 and 80, inclusive,
to register for military service.
From this group of about l2,000,-
600 approximately 400, 900 would be
picked by local boards for o e
years intensive military training.
A fight against increasing tn
profits allowed manufacturers of
airplanes for the army and navy
may delay committee action on the
81, 963, 0OO, 900 emergency defense
appropriations subcommittee con-
sidering the measure said he would
oppose a house-approved provision
raising from 8 per cent to IL per
cent the maximum profit permit
ted on construction of airplanes.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
republican leader, also said he was
opposed to an increase and believ-
ed that a number of republicans
would vote against it.
1t is the administrations plan
that all restrictions be repealed
when an excess profits tax is in
acted. That levy would be design
ed to prevent any profteering. If
this program is followed, any limit
established in the defense bill
would be only temporary. 4

serve OF destroyers left over from
the other war, and in a few months
the British will be completing a
large number of destroyers of their

for, is the next few weeks and

can do to help save the British

If a proper method can be

If the destroyers help save t e

Pershing said he knew that many

Recruits Well Trained
In Alaskan Service

For chance to receive, absolutely
free, the very best in specialized,
technical training, and at the same
time serve his country in an unus-
ually interesting way, no young man
could do better than to enlist for
the Alaskan Communication Sys-
tenn of the United States Army
Signal Corps.
The Alaskan Communication
System, which is the sole agency au-
thorized to handle communications
in Alaska, operates q stations in the
territory, and one large plant in
Seattle. Even the new Alaska Fly
ing Service makes use of this SER
vice for large part of its trans
actions. All business, both military
and civilian, is carried on over this
system.
Due to the tremendous volume of
important commercial and other
business transacted, meticulouS care
is required on the part of all OPP
orators. Therefore, all must be
well-trained before assuming their
duties. For the instruction Of men
accepted by the service, a school is
set up in the operating room, where
these men receive operators train
ing.
Included in the subjects every one
studies are the various functions OF
high-speed radio telegraph operat-
ing and manual operation Of med
ium and high-frequency and main
tenance of radio transmitting equip
ment and radio receivers used with
diversity antenna systems and high
speed syphon recording equipment.
They are also instructed in the op-
Grafton of RADIO telegraph and OF
radio frequency meters.
The Alaska Communication Sys-
tenn is the only assignment now
open for which married men are
eligible. The only definite require
ment laid down by the War Depart
ment is that applicants be high
school graduates. The service pre-
fers, however, men who can receive
twenty to twenty-five words per
minute, though this is not absolute
1y necessary. However, to become
a successful operator, a man must
have a sense of musical pitch.
Due to the special nature of this
service, and the fact that it usual
1y involves service away from an
Army post, pay and allowances run
considerably higher than in most
branches of the service. In Alaska,
pay and allowances range from STA
for privates to $3.50 for master SER
geants with twenty years service.
Men interested may obtain further
particulars by applying at the army
recruiting station nearest their
home.

Curly Top Hits
BabyLima Beans

Curly top, commonly known as
blight, in fields of baby lima beans
this season has caused very serious
losses in this new crop. according to
County Agent Skuse, who has re-
Gently had plants examined by the
Plant Pathology Department of the
State College. Mr.. Skuse states that
there has been a feeling among sew
era1 growers that the losses were
due to wireworns and perhaps in
some cases. these worms were con-
tributing cause, but the big losses
have been due to the curly top dis
ease.
Last year in several cases of rec.
ord baby lima beans made an ex-
cellent showing following crops of
early potatoe which were badly
infested with wireWor1ns. It will
be remembered that last year the
spring and early summer were cool
with considerable moisture These
conditions meant that the leaf hop
pers, which transmit the curly top
disease by sucking the juice from
the plants, did not have to move
in from the sagebrush and other
waste places to the cultivated
areas.
Many varieties of commercial
crops are affected by the curly top
disease, in varying proportions &C
cording to variety and kind of
plant. Tomatoes are probably the
principal sufferer. Once a plant has
the disease there is nothing that
can be done for it to make possible
the production of commercial crop.
However, fields which have had the
advantage of windbreaks to the
south and west have generally
shown a better condition. Leaf
hoppers have been blown over and,
since they do not have much sense
of direction, have not made their
way back in appreciable quantities.
If it were practicable to grow
without being under contract, It
would be simpler problem to de-
eide in view of what the weather
had been previous to the ordinary
planting time of June 18th to july
1st as to whether the season had
been too dry or whether a farmer
thought he had field that was
protected from the wind. Sometimes
in years when the leaf hoppers are
not bad, it is possible to protect the
fields of tomatoes and other plants
by means of tall growing crops, such
as corn, but some years conditions
are so severe that this would be of
little value.
Progress has been made, with
some Varities of beans other than
lima beans, to breed up resistant
varieties, and it seems quite possible
that in due course Of time, there
will be resistant varieties Of lima
beans.

Better roads mean better bust
ness, increased trade. Road con-
struction, repair and maintenance
mean less unemployment. Thou
sands are employed in the highway
industry and profession. Sessions
of the ARBA County Division will
have special significance for the
farmer, the rural mail carrier, the
country doctor, in fact, for every
one who lives on or ever has occa-
sion to use a farm-to-market road.
The American public as whole is
vitally interested in federal appro-
priations for highway building, as
well as the administration of these
appropriations. The future of fed
eral aid will be outlined in address
es by such governmental highway
authorities as Federal Works Ad-
ministrator John M. Cormody, Pub
lie Roads Commissioner Thomas H.
Macdonald, Senator Carl Hayden
of Arizona and Congressman Will

cent events abroad have brought to
the forefront the Importance of
highways to national defense. War
officials will come TO

system. The maintenance of peace
full relationships with our neighbors
to the north and south will be

course, apparent. The discussions
Of ways and means for building

A Great American Anniversary

This week all America is Gee
brating the Both anniversary of the
establishment of the Boy Scout
Movement in America. The move
ment has its enthusiastic support
ers everywhere. Indeed n its three
decades nearly 100000 Americans
have been Scouts, Cubs and lead
ers. Today there are over $780,
900 boys and men actively enrolled.
Now as never before, American
adults are giving their time, en-
ergies and financial support TO
time-tested boys and girls organza-
tions that help mold their children
into types Of citizens that will
guarantee the continued existence
of the United States along the pat
tern set by the nations founders
who gave America its amocratic
form Of government and its pre-
cious heritage, the Constitution
and its Bill Of Rights.
Supplementing existing organiza-
tions such as the home, church and
school, the Boy Scouts of America
engages boys ieisure-time energies
in outdoor life and activities of cuI-
tural and practical values which
lead boys to become dependable
men.
Every President of the United
States since William Howard Taft
has been an enthusiastic supporter
of Scouting and every American
who knows anything about Scout
ing's beneficial program acknoWl-
edges it as worthy Of continued
confidence and trust.
