A i Ger-jniantown,t- THE PRESIDENT PUTS THEM BACK There is no objection whatever to any former United States Senator making his living. It would be rather serious if we had reached the time when a term in the United States senate disqualifies a man for the respect and confidence of his fellow citi- zens. ng country. When asked what was responsible for this condition, Chief Williams anThe home and not the re swered: formatory is the first place to teach the boy and the girl right from wrong. If parents would watch with more interest who their childrens associates are, police departments throughout the country would have less crime to contend with. Bad companions, dull surroundings and the lack of education are responsible for the downfall of practically every youth who wanders from the straight path. Late hours and liquor parties with girls of questionable character also encourage youths of this generation to go And yet, when the people with marked emphasis express their desire that certain men be disconnected with the government, it may become a delicate question how far a president may go in reinstating such men to places in the government. It is always to be assumed that when the people throw men wrong. out of the government, they want them out. The president has taken care of a number of former officials whom the people discredited at the last election. He may have felt that the party owed it to them. Probably the party does. But is it for the party to pay its debts with the funds and emoluments of the people? No one begrudges the defeated senators their new jobs. But what does their reinstatement in government positions do ? It simply makes the city of Washington that much more stuffy as an official center. Our government is rapidly becoming a concentration of men and methods which the people have repudiated, and that is not a good condition to encourage. The planting of a normal potato acreage this year is being advised by W. H. Olin, supervisor of agriculture for the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad. He is- basing this advice onthe fact that there will be reduced acreages of potatoes planted in all the commercial sections of the country. At the same time Mr. Olin is urging more diversity in farming. Last year he pointed out the desirability of planting a larger acreage of sugar beets and a reduction of the potato acreage in the West Slope territory tributary to 'the Delta sugar factory in order that this factory It is when we put all our might have enough beets to operate. said Mr. Olin. He urges one we in basket suffer most, that eggs the growing of such types of livestock as will utilize the coarser feeds, converting them into livestockproducts and market animals. While suggesting a modest acreage of potatoes in proven commercial districts, Mr. Olin does not believe it wise to make this the only cash crop. By diversifying it adds more chances to cash in on some of the different lines. - joy-ridi- Is now open to those who wish homes in an exclusive and desirable residential district.

Now is the time to buy. Make your selection early. A member of the bar of Cincinnati tells of a youthful lawyer who had been retained to defend an old offen- der on the charge of burglary. The rules of the court allowed each side one hour in which to address the jury. Just before his turn came, the young lawyer consulted a veteran of the bar who was in the court room, How much time, he asked, do you think I should take in addressing the jury? r, .You should, answered the without hesitation, take the full hour. The full hour! Why, I thought I should take something like a quarter of an hour. You ought to take the full hour. Why? Because the longer you talk the longer you will keep your client out of jail. Forest fires in the United States average 33,500 annually, says the forest service, United States department of agriculture.

J th - ot dD for definite credit facilities for putting agriculture on an equality with other lines of business from this standpoint. Agriculture is gaining the attention of the nation as never before. There is greater need than ever for wise and sane leadership of our farm organization movements. TELEPHONE HEROES No line of effort has a code applying to duty in emergencies which is taken more seriously than that of the telephone company's employee. Time and again newspaper accounts have told of operators sticking to their posts during a disaster despite personal risk in order that the property, and life hazards of a community might be held to a minimum. .Telephone operators, abused much more than they deserve by patrons, as a group are7 responsible in the course of a year for the actual prevention of many tragedies and costly calamities. Such heroic service not always is appreciated by the general public, but company officials are in a position to observe these valorous performances and the Bell system each year recognizes them with bestowals of medals and money. One of the outstanding Bell heroes in .1921, according tp a report just published, was Byron Ernest Thady, switchboard man in Pueblo during last years flood. The story was told at the time how Thady maintained communication regardless of the torrents of water pouring into the building. His devotion to duty as well as that of Mrs: Josephine D. Pryor, chief operator, doubtless saved many lives and greatly facilitated rescue work. Another Bell award went to Robert W. Taylor of Winona, Miss., who risked his life to maintain communication during a flood. Miss Etta Wilcox, a Williams, la., operator, was remembered for riding to a nearby town to spread warning after robd bers had cut the wires at Williams. One employee received a medal and cash for rescuing two children from asphyxiation; one maintained communication during a forest fire at personal risk; another rendered heroic service during a Gulf storm, at Freeport, Texas. Each in the list performed feat of some character. The duty code of the telephone employee is one of that industrys finest institutions. The New Orleans (La.) a ui H FARM INFLUENCE IN WASHINGTON No better evidence of the power of agriculture in national legislation is' needed than the action taken on rural credits in the congress. Both the Capper bill closing days of the sixty-sevenand8 the Anderson-Lenrobills had passed the senate and were reposing in the house committee. The presidents cabinet were divided in their opinions regarding these bills. The cases seemed hopeless as regarding rural credit legislation at this session, but almost over night the situation was changed and a composite bill was drafted, reported out, passed by both house and senate and signed by the president. The sudden turn of events can be attributed to the strong pressure which has been so consistently broughf to bear by the farm organizations for the past two years - BLOCK 5 a pure-bred-si- re OP THE WORLD BLOCK 6 a H J25 H live-stoc- DURHAM TOBACCO STANDARD u CENTER STREET six-ye- ar MORE 1DIVERSITY NEEDED - not, age, the juveniles boys experienced criminals and fail to cover up their tracks, according to Deputy Chief Hanebuth. If we have sufficient grounds to believe that any burglary or holdup was committed by youths, we endeavor to find out who their pals are, declared Hanebuth. They are too talkative and in most cases boast to friends of their law violations. Of the 43 4 persons arrested by the auto-the- ft department during 1922, 300 were under 21 years of age, according to Detective Bramer. "Although fully 70 per cent of the automobiles stolen in the past two years have been taken by juveniles, the youths very seldom make efforts to sell stolen cars, sad Bramer. Youths steal machines for' the and not for any purpose of financial gain. LAND MERCHANTS 214 West Center Street Phone 86 -- LIVE STOCK FROM UTAH HOLDS DEMAND red . 1 quick-witte- Times-Picayun-e.

A healthy tone predominates the cattle market. The Wednesday supply of sters was cleared up in short order at 15 to 25c higher prices.

The low market for cattle at San Francisco, where there is no stockyards, has injured outlet for dressed beef here as packers have been able to buy cattle off cars and in the country at such low figures as to be able to ship beef to Los Angeles at lower prices than are prevailing here. With fairly liberal receipts, prices have held generally steady during the past week, with some strength apparent on the stock. Bulk of the over-supplie- j nd . 835-pou- - nd -- Cay-enn- e. I U.
