Farm FIrc on the Increase
The extensive use of automobiles,
gasoline engines, tractors, trucks,
lighting systems and furnaces is re
sulting in an increasing number of
fires on the farms. These fire haz
ards, together with lightning, are
causing losses running into millions
of dollars annually. Tho United
States Department of Agriculture has
issued a bulletin called "Fire Preven

in an effort to, encourage whe 'elimi
nation of hie hazards, and also to en
courage every farmer to provide-.some
simple means of fightings Ilros. There
are a number of .chemical I're extin

call for close co-operation of all

By use of tho dockago systom In
grading wheat, asndvocatod by the
United States Department of Agri
culture, tho farmer Is pi'ViOCtedfrom
the possibility of low prices fixed by
the local buyer in order to insure a
safo purchase on a fiat-rato basis,
says United States Dcpnrtmenr , of
Agriculture farmers' bulletin lil8,
"Dockago Under tho Fedorni Wheat
Grades." Under this system tho
wheat is graded dockage-free, or af
ter such foreign mattor ao weed seed,
other kinds of grains, etc., havo been
screened out. Tho dockogo is first
removed from the sample and tho
grado then determined. If ono per
cent or more of foreign mutter is
found in the wheat, dockago is us
sossed against it, bu, the dockage
does not affect the grade. This bul
letin, which may bo obtained free
from tho College of Agriculture at
Lincoln, discusses at some detail tho
determination-of dockago, what is
meant by it, and how the application
of tho dockage system should affect;
the marketing1 of wheat. l!very
wheat raiser, as well as every v.neat
buyer, should havo a copy of this

URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DETERMINATION
That friends of Irish Independence
In tho American Congress could niftkd
a more effective Impression on reat
Brltntn by granting Phlllpplno inde
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish, aspirations Is the.
suggestion contnlnod.ln a statement Is
sued by tho Philippine Press Bureau
of Washington,; D. 0.
'Twice In a period of nlno months,"
reads tho statement, "tho United States
Scnato went on record as being In sym
pathy 'with tho aspirations of tho Irish
people for a government of their own
choice.
"Still another way for tho friends of
Irish Independence In tho American
Congress to make an impressive argu
ment would be to grant the independ
ence that the 10,000,000 Inhabitants of
the Philippines have repeatedly de
mnndwl America's own representa
tives lu tl e Islnnds have officially -reported
they are ready for Independence
and have recommended that such Inde
pendence be granted. .
"Wo submit that the granting of
Philippine independence would bo like
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof of America's be
lief In self-determination than the pas
sago of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councilors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that-the American Congress Is
asking, Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not &one.
"The Filipino people have confidence
In tho word of America aud hope, that
now that tho Senate has .reiterated its
sympathy -with tho1 principle of self
determination It will give 'Great Brit
am. and the other powers oftlie world
a concrete example 'of consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine In
dependence." "

If you did nqt road the church

Crowding of labors, and happen to
soq this paragraph, get the last

tains something very vital to the
church. Wo do not need to repeat s
)t, the editors do not have room for
it. It has t6 do with the phntonnge
property anil the river.
Do not let the heat' -and the work
of the week keep you f rbni ' tho
