the deceased. The husband is com

Auto Collision Judgment
E. W. Fowler won a judgment
Friday of $70 against John Demning
in a suit growing out of an automo
bile collision at Seventh and Wash
ington streets, which, Fowler alleg
ed, had been caused by Demning's
careless driving. Demning's car
struck that of Fowler with an im
pact that should cost the former $100,
Fowler recited in his complaint.
TAYLOR SENTENCED THEN
PAROLED BY CAMPBELL
A jury in the circuit court Friday
returned a verdict of guilty against
Edwin Taylor, charged with contrib
uting to the delinquency of a minor,
and asked the leniency of the court
in determining sentence. Judge
Campbell sentenced the young man to
six months in jail, and later paroled
him on good behavior.
MEAT DEMONSTRATION
MEETING
Recently, a hundred pound pig was
canned at the home of Mrs. George
Bliss in the Carus neighborhood. Mrs.
Bliss acted as local demonstrator be
fore about twenty women of the
neighborhood, and the Home Demon
stration Agent. The whole process
of canning meat was demonstrated,
from testing each jar and cover to
the finished product. Each woman
actually helped prepare the meat for
the can by either frying, slicing or
packing it. Many questions were ask
ed Mrs. Bliss and Miss Anthony. The
crowd also saw some soap made from
the rinds of the pig. It was a very
interesting and profitable meeting,
for the women not only learned more
of canning in general and meat in
particular, but they helped Mrs. Bliss
can her pork.

his dying officer's head In his lap. A
pretty picture, I call it. He sure was
a man, was French with the bullets
cracking overhead nnd kicking up the
dirt around him."
Just then Happy butted In with:
"Were you one of the men who went
In for the stretcher?"
Ikey answered : "None of your d
business. If you blokes want to hear
this story through, don'fj interrupt."
Happy vouchsafed no answer.
"About ten minutes after the fellows
left for Hie stretcher, French got a bul
let through the left arm."
Sailor Bill Interrupted here:
"How do you know It was ten min
utes?" Ikey blushed and answered :
"French told me when he got back
to the trench. You see, he carried the
officer back through that fire, be
cause the stretcher bearers took too
long In coming out"
I asked Ikey how "Corporal French,
being wounded himself, could carry
Leftenant Newall In, because I knew
Leftennnt Newnll to be a six-footer
and no lightweight. You see, he had
at one time been in command of my
platoon at the training depot in England.
Ikey answered:
"Well, you blokes give me the proper
hplp, and you can nil bloomin' well go
to h ," and he shut up like a clam.
Hungry Foxcroft got up nnd silently
withdrew from our circle. In about
ten minutes he returned, followed by
a tall, fair-haired corporal who wore
a little strip of gold braid on the left
sleeve of his tunic, denoting that he
had been once wounded, nnd also wore
a little blue and red ribbon on the left
breast of his tunic, the field insignia of
the Distinguished Conduct medal.
Hungry, In triumph, brought him
Into our circle nnd handed hiin n fng,
which he lighted in the flume from the
candle on the mess tin, nnd then Hun
gry Introduced him to us :
"Boys, I want you to meet Corporal
French."
He shook hands with nil the boys.
Ikey got rod nnd was trying to ease
out of the candle light, when Sailor
Bill grabbed him by the tunic and held
him.
Then Hungry Foxcroft carried on :
"French, I'm going to ask you a
mighty personal question, and I know
you'll answer It. How in h did you,
hit in the left arm, bring Leftennnt
Newnll back from that reconnoitering
patrol?"
French grew a little red, and an
swered :
"Well, you see, boys, It was this way.
Honney and I stuck out there with
him, nnd, tnklng the slings from our
rifles, Honney miule a sort of rope
which he put around my shoulder and
under the arm of the leftennnt, nnd
Honney, getting the leftennnt by the
legs, we managed to get him into the
trench. You know, I got a D. O. M. out
of the affair, because I wns the cor
poral In charge. Dimmed unfair, I
cull It, because they only handed Hon
ney the Military medal, but If the true
facts were known he wns the bloke
who deserved, not a D. C. M., but a V.
C. (Victoria Cross).'
We ull turned in Ilonney's direction.
Bill, In his Interest, had released his
hold on Ilonney's tunic nnd Honney
had disappeared.
Happy asked French if the leftenant
had died in No Man's land.
French, with tears in his eyes, an
swered :
"No, but the poor lad went west
nfter we got him to the first-aid dress
ing station, and next day we burled
him In Hie little cemetery nt Frotncl
les. He sure done his bit, all riulit.
blime me, and here I am, bloomin' well

A dead silence foil on the crowd.
Each one of us was admiring the mod
esty of those two real men, French
and Honney.
But such is the way in the English
nrmy the man who wins the modal al
ways says that the other fellow de
served It.
And Germany Is still wondering why
they cannot smash through the Eng
lish lines.
COMMUNITY MEETINGS
Ever 'since the days of Adam and
kve, the family has been the origin'
al unit of civilization. But as the
human race developed it was found
necessary for people to live in com
munities. At first these were wan
dering tribes, 'but as they grew in
wisdom, they learned to cultivate the
land and stay in one place. Soon
neighboring communities joined to
gether to better protect themselves,
and for the benefits of the exchange
of goods; and thus small nations were
formed.
At the present writing our old
world has these three fundamental
foVms of social organization, the
family, the community, and the na
tion. Each of the three is absolute
ly necessary. And our happiness and
welfare as individuals depends on bet
tering the family relation, the com
munity organization, and the national
unity. When one of these three is
weak, as we observe in Russia today,
there is chaos; then the family life is
not safe, then the community falls to
pieces, and the nation is an empty
shell. '
Of late years with the development
of quick transportation, there has
been a tendency to lese the com
munity spirit. In many places there
are no meetings to bring neighbors
together. In place of a friendly
gathering, there are quarrels, bicker
ings and distrust. In such places,
people are moving down in the scale
of civilization, and not upward.
Other places have been quick to
see the value of community meetings.
They get together regularly with all
the family and have a program that
is both educational and enjoyable.
They discuss their common problems
and take steps to solve them.
Perhaps the most striking example
of a successful community club is at
Wilsonville. A few weeks ago they
organized a Community Club with a
membership of eighty, charging fifty
cents for the men, and twenty-five for
the women. They meet twice a
month, and at each meeting there is
a good program and a bountiful feed.
There are many others in the Coun
ty, some organized as Granges, some
as Farmers Unions, some as Loyalty
Leagues, some as Literary Societies.
Where such organizations exist the
people are happier; they make more
money because they meet and ex
change ideas, nnd their land is more
valuable because they are not trying
to sell out to get away from their
neighbors. Their children are better
educated, and more willing to stay on
the farm, because they have debates
and give plays and learn music, and
have proper forms of recreation which
their nature demands.
The Farm Bureau is working with
these organizations. We are able to
help out on their programs by giving
talks and demonstrations. From
these Community organizations are
chosen the committee men who com
pose the Farm Bureau. Through the
Farm Bureau these local organiza
tions are united into one strong
County-wide league. Through th
Farm Bureau the similar problems of
different sections are attacked by
united action.
Though much has already been
done along this line, still there is
room for a vast improvement. The
Farm Bureau team will not be satis
fied until every community in the
County meets regularly to discuss the
business of the community and to
get the pleasures and benefits of

Larvae May Be Combatted by Utlng
Arsenate of Lead, Hellebore or
Tobacco Decoction.
(By C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agrlcul.
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
The slimy looking larvae of "slugs"
that eat the surface off the leavea
of cherry and pear trees are easily
killed. If there is no fruit on the
trees, the best way is to spray th
trees with arsenate of lead In the pro
portion of one pound of powder, ot
two pounds of the paste, to each BO
gallons of water. A fine spray la best
and should be applied so as to cover
the upper surface of the leaves, wher
most of the feeding Is done.
In case there is fruit on the trees
you may use white hellebore, one
ounce to three gallons of water. This
will kill the slugs and do no harm to
people who eat the fruit.
The same results may be secured
by spraying with a strong tobacco de
coctlon, such as Black Leaf 40, ona
part in 800 parts of water.
A thorough dusting with sluked lime,
ashes or fine road dust will usually
be successful in removing the slugs
from the leaves.

The bull association cannot
give you something for nothing,
but it enn furnish you a share
in from three to five $300 bulls
for $50. These bulls cannot In
crease the production of the
cows you now have, but they
may double the production of
the daughters. The daughters
of association bulls and grade
cows can never be registered,
but in every other respect they
may be the .equal of purebreds.
The bull association cannot com
pel you to join, but if you do
join you will soon own a better
herd and become a better
farmer.
