LINCOLN COUNTY HAS TWO
REGISTERED SEED GROWERS

Lincoln County has two registered
seed growers, County Agent B. F.
/ Robinson said TODAY. Horace Hud-
son of Rexford has five acres of
Newtuck and two acres of Wasatch,
both recommended by the Montana
Agriculture Experiment Station;
Norman Singer of Eureka has Is
acres of recommended Mission
Oats.
The purpose of registered seed.
Robinson said, is to supply small
grain growers in the county with a
source of high quality yielding seed
free from weeds. A farmer pro-
ducing this registered seed must
rogue the field to remove any noX-
ious weeds and seed from a former
crop.
In order for ground to qualify
for registered seed production it
must have been in pasture, hay,
summer fallow or a clean titled
row crop the year before.
The field is inspected by repre-
sentative of the Montana Seed
Growers Association before the crop
is harvested. If the field passes in
spection after the crop is threshed
a sample is sent in to the Montana
Seed Laboratory for rechecking. If
the sample meets state require
ments, the grower is permitted to
sell the crop as registered seed.

SCIENTIST AT LARGE
BY Joseph S. Davis. (Stantord
University PresS.)
This is a collection of tributes to
the late DR.. Carl Alsberg, former
chief of the Department of Agricul-
lures Bureau Of Chemistry and for
many years one Of the most eminent
Of American scientists.
IT was during his administration
in Washington, which ended in 1921,
that much of the standard pure food
and drug practice Of the country
became standardized. He left with
a rich background of experience to
become head of the Food Research
Institute at Stanford.
Notable for his career as an adj
ministrator, the various tributes
stress, DR.. Alsberg was primarily a
pure scientists with range OF in
terests that embraced an extremely
wide field and he left a decided
impact on the country he served.

economic balance at the highest
feasible levels of activity"
This is hardly the philosophy OF
State socialism, but rather the phi
losphy of controlled capitalism, OF
an indus al Nation where the
products OF the machine serve all
who have q part in the creation
of the gross national product.
Price. Wage Views
AS the economy continues forward
at high level of activity, the coun-
Gil points out, there is "a continuing
possibility of increases in prices and
wages" problem "of long grange
wage and price policies that must be
solved within the context of general
labor-management relations"
Again, this is not the view of
those who consider the Government
should control and run the economy
The continued high level of our
national economy, an economy today
of 100000 jobs, will keep us on
the new, high level OF prices. But
as the Council hopes, If we keep
moving forward as a Nation we
will take the steps, by ALDERMAN
agement agreement plus legislative
action chiefly in Congress, that will
slowly take the sting out of the cost
of-living tags.
The result, if the council sees well
in its crystal ball-and If war does
not intervene-is an America to
which we can all look ahead with
pleasure.

make the hypothesis Of Prof. Albert
Einstein-a vital part Of the intel
lectual background Of the present
aee-comprehensible to the layman
The term "layman" includes, OF
course, most physicists and chemists
engaged in the routine pursuit Of
their sciences.
The difficulty has been that the
world of Einstein is outside sensory

The length Of yardstick shrinks to
a fraction of an inch when it is

that does not obey perfectly the
laws of classical physics.

tical importance.

iand Edward D. Wright composing
the District delegation at Chicago
and they probably voted for Grover
Cleveland, who was elected and took
his seat March 4, 1885, the first
Democratic President following the
Civil War.
William Dickson-or Bill" Dick
son, as he was usually called-came
here in 1862 from Philadelphia, in
charge of the first steam fire engine
in this city. This engine was ordered
here following the burning of the
hospital building on Judiciary
Square, when no company appeared
on the scene for an hour after the
alarm was given. A month later
the Government corral was de-
stroyed and then the Secretary OF
War ordered the engine here, with
experienced men, and they occu-
pied the old Union Engine House,
where the Association of the Oldest
Inhabitants has its museum and
holds monthly meetings.
Mr.. Dickson left the Fire Depart
ment at the close of the Civil War
and engaged as a collector, SUISSE
quently adding to his business real
estate, loans and insurance. His
office was at 224 John Marshall
place, and while he lived he was one
of the leading Democrats OF the
city.
Central Committees
The inaugurations Of Grover
Cleveland were notable events, for
the Democracy Of the country went
fairly wild with enthusiasm upon
both occasions. Buchanan had been
their last President and nearly
quarter Of century had elapsed
since he left the White House. No
one will ever forget the one OF 1885.
and my good friend, and late Judge
Robert E. Mattingly, who was del
egate in 1892, 1896, 1900, 1908 and
1915, had fond recollections OF the
Cleveland Inauguration of 1893.
In 1880, the national convention
authorized the formation OF a Dem
ocratic Control Committee for this
District of Columbia, with delegates
to the committee to be one delegate
and one alternate from each of the
% districts existing in the District
since the days of local elections for
Mayor and Common Council. The
first chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee was william
Dickson, succeeded by Thomas J.
Luttrell, Charles F. Rowe. John
Boyle, William Holmead, John A.
Clark, Thomas B. Kalbfus and J.
Fred Kelley. Mr.. Kelley had been
secretary of the Central COMMITTEES
for eight years, or from 1904 to 1912,
before his election to the chairman
ship in 1912, which place he held
for u years. William NICK. Clayton
became secretary of the committee
In 1912, coming as delegate from
the second district, and held that
place for IL years.
The following have been members
of the Democratic Central Commits
tee at various times: Thomas Con.
nor, Julius Tolson. William e
Hutchins, Arthur Small, James E.
