Gathering Wapatoo Root
On Wapatoo Island 60 years ago,
In the fall of the year, the last of the
Moltnomahs harvested their strange
crop. To reach the finest plants, pro
ductive of tne largest tubers, the
laughing, gossiping squaws waded
breast-deep in the bright waters, says
Nature Magazine, They drew behind
them a small canoe, and with their
hare, brown feet they freed the roots
of the wapatoo.
Up from the ooze they plucked It,
with its leaves so like a broad arrow
head, and as they stripped it of Its
tubers they cast these into the canoe
until ihe craft was henv. laden. Of
the tubers they made a kind of flour
that was stored for winter, and, too,
they feasted on the fresh wapatoo
boiled or roasted.

From Indianapolis News
Is a comparatively new member
i the family of nations, the Irish
Free State seems to be making an
excellent record. While serious po
litical problems persist, there i3
warrant for saying that they are
both fewer and less complex than
at any time during the five years
of the present type of government.
On the economic side achievements
are listed that promise much. Pub
lic expenses no longer are exceed
ing revenues, as they often do in
the early existence of any sover
eignty confronted with such tasks
as the Free State faced. Instead,
there was a small surolus at the
close of the last fiscal year.
President Cosgrave announces
that the country now has no un
determined liabilities and that the
total national debt amounts to
$100,000,000 net. That is the equiva
lent o! about $35 for each person
in the population. On that score,
the Free State is not bad off. The
figure for England Is $814: for
France. $456, and for the United
States, $16. However, it is to be re
membered that any size obligation
must weigh more heavily in the
Free State than, for instance, in
the United States. The Free Stats
has fewer developed resources and,
consequently, less per capita wealth.
Nevertheless, an adverse balance of
trade is being reduced, live stock
growing has been extended, agricul
ture generally is showing a gain
and roads are being improved
From now on the government be
lieves that it can meet public needs
with tax collections of not more
than $120,000,000 annually. The au
thorities are taking pride in the
fact that it has been regarded as
safe to decrease the income tax rate
bv one shilling In the pound. The
disposition to be conservative in
expenditure is an encouraging sign
that the rock on which so many
new government crafts are wrecked
-fiscal recklessness—13 being avoid

I)o Your Own Thinking.
Wadena. Minn., Pioneer-Journal.
Have you ever had experience
with someone in the back seat
who insisted on doing the driving?
No matter how carefully you drove,
or at what speed, there was a con
stant whine and complaint, inter
spersed with helDful suggestions for
the improvement of the service.
Are we becoming a nation of
back seat drivers? We are not ask
ing the question facetiously, but in
*11 seriousness. In these hectic days
of jazz and radio we rush head
long into anything that comes
along, 'rime was when folks refused
to commit themselves on matters
on which they were not well in
formed, but we are no longer handi
capped with such scruples. Now we
love to congregate arid p»s;: reso
lutions on each and every question
that arises and the less we happen
to know about it the more fervent
we become
As a result of this condition, we
now have with us the skillful and
highly paid propagandist who seizes
upon this modem weakness to h“lp
in “putting stuff over." Plausible
speakers go about the country ad
dressing groups of well meaning
people who. while laboring under
the spell that has been cast about
them, pass resolutions, the mean
ing of which they know little or
nothing. The weakness for signing
petitions without taking the trouble
to read them is even more pre
valent.
Resolve not to sign a petition or
endorse a resolution, until you have
read it with understanding and ap
prove Its contents. In other words,
refuse to permit yourself to be used
as a tool with which to rake the
chestnuts out of the fire for the
other fellow, and that should go
locally us well as nationally. Do
our own thinking.

FANATICISM.
By Colton.
There is no cruelty so inexor
able and unrelenting as that
which proceeds from a bigoted
and presumptuous supposition of
doing service to God. The vic
tim of the fanatical persecutor
will find that the stronger the
motives he can urge for mercy
are. the weaker will be his chance
for obtaining it, for the merit of
his destruction will be supposed
to rise in value, in proportion
as It is effected at the expense
of every feeling both of justice
and of humanity.
G.-G. Philippine King.
From the New York Times.
The supreme court of the United
States has confirmed the right of
the governor general of the Philip
pines to appoint managers and di
rectors of the various business cor
porations owned by the Philippine
government. This puts an end to
a controversy which has long dis
turbed Philippine politicians. It
also reaffirms the functions of the
governor general by denying the
right of the so-called board of con
trol to exercise powers which, ac
cording to the organic art of the
Philippines, were vested in the gov
ernor general alone.
The essence of this involved con
troversy was the constitutionality
of the board of control. This body,
composed of the governor general,
the president of the Philippine Sen
ate and the speaker of the Philip
pine house of representatives, was
created by a special act of the
Philippine legislature. Although
the tr.en Governor General did not
veto this act, its constitutionality
was questioned at the time, on the
ground that the act entrusted to
members of the legislative branch of
the government powers reserved to
the executive. The fact that the
two Filipinos could—and did—out
vote the American governor general
transferred in effect to them the
powers exercised by the governor in
all matters pertaining to the admin
istration of the government-owned
industries. Since the two Fhilipinos
in question also were the bosses of
the legislature, it meant that the/
were able to control these corpora
tions rMrarrilpSS nf tho michoc nf
governor general.
General Wood, after trying to
correct this state of affairs without
offending the Filipino politicians, fi
nally ignored the rights of the board
of control and on his own authority
made such appointments as he
deemed wisest. T. is brought the
matter to a head. The Filipino poli
ticians charged him with usurpa
tion. He arranged to have suit
brought so as to test legality of his
procedure. He was upheld in the
supreme court of the islands, but the
matter was then appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
The decision of that body means the
final extinction of the board of con
trol.

And so there is a “power trust,"
after all. When 80 per cent of the

cially In this country is in the hands
of only 15 operating groups ar.d
when five of these groups control
more than half of the total out

there is a very compact power trust.

Value of Skim Milk.
Prof. H. E. Van Norman, at London
Dairy Conference.
Milk is about seven eighths wa
ter and one eighth solids. When tho
cream is removed for butter man
ufacture or other purposes nearly
three fourths of the solids remain
in the skim milk." said Prcf. Van
Norman in his address to the con
gress delegates. “For each pound
of butter the cow yields she also
produces nearly two pounds of skim
milk solids. Because of their dilu
tion in w’ater (about one pound of
solids to 10 of water) because of its
perishable character, because of its
bulk for transportation and because
of a tardy appreciation of its real
value, we have been content to let
the farmer feed skim milk to his
calves, pigs and chickens, often at
the expense of his own family. We
have recklessly discharged into ths
sewer appreciable quantities of flu
id skim milk, usually I believe, be
cause of a temporary surplus and
lack of facilities for marketing or
processing. It was the farmer sci
entist who pointed out that one
pound of skim milk solids fed to
growing pigs would produce as
much gain In weight as three
pounds of corn.
“Within the last 23 years there
has developed that perfection of the
dehydration processes which has
made possible on a commercial scale
the drying of whole milk. butter
milk, skim milk, malted milk and
within a couple of years the drying
of whey remaining from the mak
ing of cheese. Few, if anv food
products are more perishable than
milk. The importance, then, of the
process of dehydration as a stop in
conserving milk and its by-products
for storage or transportation long
! distances can hardly be over esti
i mated.
Skim milk solids already are an
! Ideal form for human food, and,
j therefore, the feeding of them to an
animal i3 an economic loss except
where it is essential that the calf
or young chicken should have skim
milk solids to start its growth and
carry it until it will thrive on less
| expensive foods not adapted to hu
man brines"

Francis B. Sayre in Atlantic

The privilege of a criminal de

Whatever may have been its mer

J Alaska Salmon Puts
Gold in Second Place
Nobody except the Alaskan, per
haps, considers the salmon a goldfish.
To him the flash of its dripping flanks
as it leaps in the sun is a more sig
nificant glitter than that of genuine
gold. Salmon runs, in Alaska are of
greater value than gold mines.
It was,gold that made modern Alas
ka, beginning with the famous Klon
dike rush of 1896. Millions of dollars’
worth of the yellow metal was mined.
The peak year was 1916, when min
eral production totaled $48,000,000.
Ten years later salmon exports for
l 3926 were valued at $49,000,000, while
mineral production had dropped to
$17,658,000. The golden harvest now
is gathered not from the enrth but
from the waters of the earth. Salmon
production Is not always so phenome
nal. A normal year, as in 1927, is
only $27,000,000. Kven so, the salmon
la a more valuable asset to Alaska
than the gold mine. Not so beautiful
as the goldfish, perhaps, but more
nearly deserving of the title. As for
beauty, what fish can surpass the
maguifleent spectacle of a salmon
leaping the merciless surge of a wa
terfall?—Dayton News.
Discovered Ancient City
Robert J. 'Jasey, American author,
Returned recet.ily from a trip to Siam,
where he said he found the ruins of
a great city and believes he Is the
first white man ever to gaze on the
ruins that at one time probably
housed a million Khmers from the
Fifth to the Eleventh centuries.
Natives feared to penetrate the
dense Jungle surrounding the city, he
related. Unaccompanied, he plunged
through bamboo thickets for nearly
thirty miles and found the city sur
rounded by a slimy moat tilled with
crocodiles. He stated that French ar
cheologists had discovered the rem
nants of cities in which 30,000,000
Khmers lived at one time, but could
find no record In France of the city
he stumbled upon.
Nature Best in July
Behavior of almost any of the prey
ing Insects to be found In July are
worthy of observation, says Nnture
Magazine. A digger wasp with It*
paralyzed prey, an ox warble fly
driving n herd of cattle frantic, or
a lady-bird beetle greedily gobbling
up plant louse after plant louse hold
our Interest readily. On the other
hand we may turn to the varied
means by which insects protect them
selves from their enemies. The can
ker worms that look so like a twig
that they deceive us and birds, the
pear slugs that look like nothing liv
ing, are only two of the more inter
esting. July Is the month of luxu
riant nature splendor.
Look to Salmon Supply
One lish for every person In the
United States was liberated from sal
mon hatcheries In Washington state

Since KXX) 2,875,(XX).0(X) salmon eggs
have been hatched by the state so that
its third industry, employing 10Q.000
men and returning $75,000,(XX) nrinu
ally, might survive. .More than 11,
(XH),fXK) salmon are caught each year
in Washington waters.
New Fire Extinguisher
Two Ohio chemists were as much

they discovered that solutions con
taining salts of alkali metals, such as
potassium, can put out a fire three
times as rapidly as standard soda acid
