Grasshopper Bait.
A year ago the grasshopper ate up
nearly $100,000,000 worth of our win
ter wheat. .Science at once set about
devising some scheme to control this
pest. They mixed a concoction, on an
enormous scale,' known as “grasshop
per bait,” making 4,565 tons of it, or
•enough to liil 183 large railroad cars.
To mix tills bait they used 500,000
lemons, eighty-three tons of white ar
senic and other ingredients in similar
proportion. The bait was then scat
tered over a great area in Kansas.
The grasshoppers ate it freely, with
the expected result. This year there
are no grasshoppers in Kansas. —

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder i
Bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and wt on the weather
Is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi
ment, the channels often get sore and
Irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body’s urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; lake a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
•Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

cent lithia-water drink. —Adv.
World's Sleepiest Tramp.

The morning before his arrest he
was found on the Grand route by a

efforts of the latter failed to wake
him. In the police station he woke
up for a few minutes, then fell asleep
again. It was found absolutely Impos

he was sent to a hospiital, where he

LABOR SHORTAGE
NOW BEING FELT
Keep Rainy-Day and Wet-Land
Jobs Out of Way of Rush
Work in the Fields.
ONE OF IMPORTANT FACTORS
Farm Laborers and Tenants Are
Caught by Lure of High Wages
and Are Leaving Farms for
Cities—Some Simple Rules.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Do nothing today which can be put
off until tomorrow.
That is an apparent perversion of
the ancient and excellent proverb, and
most people may be inclined to look
upon it as pernicious—but, properly
interpreted, it is a sound principle in
farm management and one that a
great many farmers will particularly
need to apply In the face of the short
age of labor with which this year’s
crops must be made. It applies to
tasks that Interfere with work in the
fields at times when field work can he
done. It does not mean procrastina
tion. It means getting the indirectly
productive work done in advance, if
possible, but if it can’t be done in ad
vance put it off till the rush work in
the fields Is out of the way. It is one
of the important factors, say farm
management specialises of the United
States department of agriculture, iti
full utilization of farm labor.
Great Need This Year.
And full utilization is likely to bo
more important this year than it has
ever been before. Reports coming to
the department of agriculture from
all sections of the country are to the
effect that farm laborers and tenants
are caught by the lure of high wages
and are leaving the farms for the
cities. A great many farmers, appar
ently. will be forced to carry on their
operations this year with less help
than they have ever had before. Un
less such labor as is left on the farm
Is utilized t<> the host possible advan
tage, there is danger of a serious cur
tailment of production.
Farm-management specialists say,
however, that a great deal can he ac
complished toward helping production
by getting the most out of the labor
available. They lay down a few sim
ple rules that they believe will help
toward attaining this result.
The best farmer, they say, is the
one who gets the other work out of
the way and keeps the teams moving
whenever the land Is In condition for
field work. The amount of products
that a farmer can grow depends on
getting the; field work done when the
weather will permit it. Nothing ex
cept necessary work like feeding and
milking should be permitted to take

If the indoor tasks are not done on indoor days, they will have to be done

FARMER IS ENTERING
FIELD OF MARKETING
Opportunity Offered to State and
Federal Agencies.
Practice of Purchasing Supplies at Re
tail and Selling Products on
Wholesale Basis Is Gradually
Being Reversed.
Farmers’ organizations, as well as
the so-called regular dealers, need
market Information, arid here state
and federal agencies have a wide field
for service because the farmer is ac
tively entering the field of marketing.
There nre in this country today more
than 15.000 farmers’ business organi
zations. with a membership of approx
imately 2,000,000, according to the bu
reau of markets. United States de

of these organizations are at local

er numbers to the terminal arid dis
tributing centers Is only a matter of
time. The farmer lias been accus

men from the fields, and It should be
planned where possible to get these
things done and still keep the horses
working ten hours a day.
Plan no wet-land work, they say,
when there is work in the fields that
can be done. By wet-land work is
meant such things as cutting weeds
and brush in the fence rows, repair
ing the fences, repairing buildings and
a great many other necessary things—
but things that can he done just ns
well when the ground is too wet to
plow.
Rainy-Day Work.
I.eave no rainy-day work, another
rule says, to he done when it is not
raining, for profits are limited by the
amount of outdoor work that gets
done. Rainy-day work Is necessary
work and if it Is not done on rainy
days it will have to be done later on
fair days and will Interfere with field
work. It includes things that can he
done under shelter, such as shelling
seed corn, mending the harness, and
repairing tools.
Jot down in a note hook, the special
ists advise, the things that will need
attention the next rainy day. This
will enable you to plan your work
quickly when you get tip some morn
ing and find the rain pouring down.
Do first the jobs that are in danger
of getting in the way of the next dry
weather work.
Put in long days in rush seasons
with the assurance that you can ease
down on rainy days or when the rush
is over. And then comes that first
rule, “Do nothing today which can as
well be put off till tomorrow.” There
are a great many things that cannot
be put oft' till tomorrow. If sowing
oats is delayed until the warm, dry
days of late spring, there will be a
light harvest. If the corn is not cul
tivated even for one week after It is
old enough to cultivate, the fields will
he weedy and the crops poor. If
dairy cows are neglected, there will
soon be no milk. This class of tasks,
therefore, demands immediate atten
tion. Put off tlie other things to more
or less remote tomorrow when the
rush work is out of the way.
Back to Old Proverb.
Then, when the rush work Is over
revert to the proverb in its original
form, “Put <«f nothing until tomor
row which can he done today.” This
applies to work that may he done any
time within a wide latitude, but the
time comes when it cannot he put off
any longer and it may stop the rush
work. Seed corn, for example, may
he tested and shelled any time after
it is thoroughly cured, but if the
work is neglected until the fields are
ready to plant, then that most profit
able work in the cornfield may he de
layed. That is a fair illustration of
“get-it-out-of-the-way" work.
It takes more planning, more think
ing, and more force of character to do
tliis work, in seasons when there is no
rush work than it does to concentrate
on rush work. Only by using his head
can the farmer handle the “get-it-out
of-the-way” work in advance, hut he
must apply the rule methodically and
unfailingly if he is to got ahead very
fast in spite of shortage of labor.

MORE STATES IN
MEXICAN MIX-UP
GROWING STRENGTH OF REVOLU- ;
TIONARY MOVEMENT LED BY j
STATE OF SONORA
OIL REGION IS THREATENED
Private Advices Say Two New States,
Hidalgo and Tlaxacla, Have
Joined Scccisionists
Washington.—Reports from Mexico, !
official and unofficial, emphasize the
growing strength of the revolutionary
movement led by the state of So
nora.
Advices from private sources said
two new states, Hidalgo and Tlaxacla,
supported by their legislatures and
states troops, had joined in the seces
sion movement. Other dispatches told
of scattering, but strong additions to
the revolutionists led by Gen. Arnolfo
Gomez, Rodolfo Gallegos, Albundiox
Gomez and Amaro Durango. Gen. Ar
nolfo Tuxpan with 3,000 men and to
be threatening Tampico, the vital cen
ter of Mexico’s oil region.
The Mexican embassy issued a for
mal statement on the situation, declar
ing the revolution to be only a local
movement. The statement added,
however, that If the secession move
ment should spread, it would result in
“the stoppage of business, curtailment
of wealth and international commerce
and the indefinite postponement of
the foreign debt.”
The embassy said the only state
governors sympathizing with the re
| hellion were Governor Enriquez Es
| trada of Zacatecas, and the governor
| of Michoacan. This was the first con
j Urination received here that the Zaca
tecas governor had poined the revolu
tionists and his accession is regarded
as important, owing to the important
position of his state.
Another statement from the embas
sy said Gen. Benjamin Hill, campaign
manager for General Obregon, who is
a candidate for the presidency, and
is aiding openly with the revolution
ists, had-been wounded in a battle
at Contreas, in which the rebel forces
; were defeated.
The senate committee investigating
Mexican relations summoned Gen. Sal
vador Alvadarada, who was governor
of Yucatan for Carranza during the
Hennequin controversy, and who is
now in Washington, to appear before
it.
VIEWS OR BRITISH
AND FRENCH CLASH
ON GERMAN POLICY j
France Holds Alies Should Prepare i
Forcible Measures To Compel
Germans To Fulfill Pact
San Itemo. —Discussion of what
shall be asked of Germany and how
what is asked shall be exacted, has be
gun in the supreme council. Tension
between the French and British dele
gations on this subject has been con
siderable.
The French are declared to feel,
deeply that they have been the great
est sufferers from Germany’s omission
in fulfilling her treaty obligations; that
Germany's retention of war material
obliges France to remain armed and
that the reduction in coal deliveries
keeps an important fracion of the
French industries idle.
They say that Germany, during the
last nine months had indicated clear
ly to the French mind that she in
tends to do nothing she cannot be
compelled to do and that unless al
lies sharply warn her and prepare to
follow up the warning by forcible
measures, Germany will default upon
the essential clauses of the treaty
The British position is that although
I Germany has defaulted in several ex
| tremely important respects, and that
she must he required to fulfill her
obligations she can he made to do so
without further negotiation of her ter
i itories and by severe economic re
strictions. The British statesmen are j
understood to look askance on the
French aims and feel that leadership
among the allies is being disputed.
Disarming Os Czechs, Is Japs’ Demand
Harbin, Manchuria. —Japanese au
thorities in Manchuria have demanded
that all Czech troops in this country
be disarmed. This decision is a re
sult of the recent clash between Czech
and Japanese troops at Hailar, a vil
lage near the Siberian frontier.

Constantinople.—French troops en
tered Aintabb, Asia Minor, on April 14
and have relieved the situation there,
according to a statement made public
at the French embassy here. Mes
sages sent from Aintabb on April 12,
asking for immediate aid for Ameri
can workers there, have been received.
The French position in Cilicia Is view
ed as difficult. Railroad communica

is stated by travelers from Asia Minor.
