Sources of Dyes Long Known Only to Indians The Indians of Central America may be stolid and uncannily quiet, but they will never be accused of being colorless. Almost everything I thty wear and practically every thing they make is as colorful as , a tropical garden. j All Central American Indians love color. Their handwoven rugs and blankets, their hand-wrought pot tery and baskets fairly flash with brilliant reds, and purples, and yellows. yel-lows. . Moreover, these are colors that the sun will not fade, nor the rains make dim, for the dyes to all Intents and purposesare ever lasting. These dyes have long been the pride of the Indians' beart For centuries the sources from I which they were obtained and the i formulae used In their preparation were carefully guarded secrets. The source of one particularly gorgeous purple dye was sougnt by outsiders for years, and finally discovered to be a fish living In Central American lagoons. Insects, also, produced beautiful dyes.

Cochineal insects feed by the thousands on the leaves of the nopal, no-pal, a form of cactus, - ALFALFA WEEVIL CONTROL There are 42,000 acres of alfalfa in Utah county or about 45 percent of the actual cropping land. The average aver-age yield Is only about 2.7 ton per acre. There needs to be at least a ton per acre increase to yield. Plowing Plow-ing old fields not to exceed the fifty year is one big step to 6uch an in crease. "Alfalfa weevil is a problem also, George I. Reeves and Dr. J. C. Hamlin of the United States depart ment of agriculture reported before the U. 8. A; C, Extension Service staff that, "Damage to alfalfa fields by weevil in the coming season was partially determined last fall." "Between September 1 and the time the snow fell last fall, members of the bureau of entomology made soil samples of many fields. If they found, on an average, one to one and one-half weevil per square foot of ground the experts predict that no damage is likely to occur next spring. If from one and one-half to two and one-half weevil were found . per square foot, the field was marked as pivotal and may be damaged or not, depending on weather conditions. If more than two and one-half weevil were found per square foot, damage is most likely to occur next season, they said. If weather conditions are not favorable in the spring for the laying and hatching of eggs or are adverse to the development of the larvae, then no damage is likely. VI !!l?v? n? coming way to con trol alfalfa weevil will be by regulat ing the time of cutting the alfalfa field for hay," said Mr. Reeves. "In mast Instances alfalfa is allowed to stand too long before it is cut. Alf alfa should not be allowed to stand until weevil damage is noticed. At this time most of the larvae have gone into pupation and are not destroyed." des-troyed." Mr. Reeves said the best time to cut the alfalfa, even though it showed show-ed no weevil, is at the earliest possible possi-ble maturity or about the time the first larvae puate. This is probably at the late bud stage or as the first flowers appear. o TREATMENT OF LINOLEUM SURFACE By scrubbing linoleum with water and soap the life of the material is through the pores to the fabric back and causes it to mat. The pattern of the inlaid linoleum then begins to spread until a fine line appears be tween parts of the design. This gradually expands until part of the design becomes elevated and can easily be picked out. If linoleum Is waxed following a scrubbing and drying process, the surface may be cleaned by merely wiping it. Or by the use of the fol lowing formula for cleaning, the linoleum li-noleum surface will appear as though it were constantly kept up with wax: 1 cup soap chips (less if powders are used.) 1 cup gasoline. 1 quart hot water. 1 quart hot milk. Dissolve soap chips in hot water, add hot milk then gasoline. When mixed, divide the quantity using part for washing and the second por tion for rinsing. Do not rinse with water, Mrs. Barrows warns. Leave the linoleum smooth and glossy as if it were waxed. This may be used to advantage for cleaning any painted paint-ed surface. Still another method is found to be satisfactory: Shave an ordinary candle in hot water, wring cloths out in the solution for cleaning the floor; this process leaves a smooth, waxy surface on the linoleum. . o Andorra Self Governed but Not Real Republic Andorra Is not exactly a republic because it Is compelled to pay annual an-nual dues to the government of France and the Spanish bishop of UrgeL The little country Is an autonomous, au-tonomous, semi-Independent state. It consists of six parishes in the diocese of the Spanish bishop of Urgel. It Is In the valleys of the eastern Pyrenees between France and Spain. Within Its 191 square miles of territory, 5,000 people live, one-fifth of them In the capital city, Andorra. The altitude of the country coun-try varies from about 6,000 feet to about 10,000 feet The chief occupation occu-pation Is the cultivation of tobacco. The story Is told that Charlemagne Charle-magne rewarded the country for Its help during his campaigns against the Moors by declaring it Independent Independ-ent In those days, similar Independence Inde-pendence was enjoyed by a number of groups In the Pyrenees. Andorra is self-governed. France and the Spanish bishop appoint two civil Judges to work together. Catalan Cat-alan Is the language spoken. French and Spanish currency are both la use, French influence dominates the state. of ihe death of Mr. Coolldge.. I had a great admiration ad-miration for Mr Coolidge, and as for Mrs Coolldge I Just thought she was about the'i finest wo man in ' public life. They were mighty nice to me. Right after I had written all those alleaged Jokes from Europe, "Letters of a self made diplomat to his President", why when I got to New York he invited me down to spend the week end at the white House. Well that was the biggest thing tor me, for I had never bees there, and I dont mind telling you that with all my Jokes, I hav a great reverence for our Presidents, and our White House. Well the Jokes I told about that trip were my biggest laugh producers produc-ers anytime I wanted to tell them, but they were not dissrespectful, they were touching on the little homely things that made people like Mr Coolidge. . I have visited them at the "Beech- b," the home he died in. He had gone to New York that day, but I had a fine visit with Mrs Coolldge. She showed me over the place. It was very homey and lovely. She Just sat and chatted like your next , door nlghbor. I was down to his law office, met his law partner, Mr Hemmingway, He told me many stories of Mr Coolldge. They all in the office had great affection for him. He dident take any active part in the law practice, but he always come to the office and transacted his-private business. I know, bis son John who. Is an awfully fine young man, and his wife is a lovely girl. Here is a thing do you reckon Mr Coolidge worried over in late years? Now ho could see further than any of these politicians. Things were going so fast and everybody was so cuckoo during his term in office, that lots of them Just couldent possibly pos-sibly see how it could ever do other wise than go on up. Now Mr Coolidge Cool-idge dident think that He knew that it couldent He knew that we -could ent Just keep running stocks and everything else up and up and them paying no dividends in comparison to the price.

Robertson of Springville, newly elected Utah county commissioner, commis-sioner, was chosen chairman of the board for two years, at the regular meeting Monday, succeeding J. W. Gillman. Mr. Robertson's nomination was made by Charles H. White, Republican, Repub-lican, who stated that inasmuch as Mr. Robertson was elected for but a two-year term, it might be his only chance to serve as chairman. Mr. Gillman seconded the motion. Mr. Robertson stated he would accept the position for this reason, but if he was elected for four years, would not have taken the chairmanship at this time. Mr. Gillman announced he would resign as chairman of the Utah shortened, according to Ef f ie S.

Man' Small Wants "Man wants but little here be low." In a very real sense this declaration of the poet is true. Ev ery literary worker and every schol ar tries to have a library close at hand. He gathers many books, which seem to hlra to be virtually Indispensable to the prosecution of his professional work. And yet the mainstay of such students con sists or a few dooks. wnen we come to sift our wants, we find that they center on very few things. Our discontent and unsatlsfactlon come largely from our Imagination. We Imagine that we have many ob stacles and difficulties which have no existence in reality. Could we realize how little we absolutely need, and do. In fact, voluntarily get along with, we should save ourselves a vast amount of harmful worry.

But how could he have said or done, that! What would have been the effect? Everybody would have said, "Ha, whats the idea of butting into our prosperity? Here we are going good, and you our President, try to crab it Let us alone. We know our business", . There is a thousand things they would have said to him or about him. He would have come in for a raft of criticism." The Republican Party, the party of big business, would have done their best to have stopped him, for they couldent see It like be did, and they never could have understood until a year after. Later in his own heart did Calvin Coolidge ever wish that he had preached it from the housetops regardless re-gardless of what big business, his party, or what anybody would havs said? Now here is another thing too in Mr Coolidge's favor In not doing do-ing it He no doubt ever dreamed of the magnitude magni-tude 'of this depression. That is he knew the thing had to bust, but he dident did-ent think it would bust so big, or be such a premanent bust Had he known of the tremendous extent ex-tent of it I'll bet he would have defied hell and damnation and told and warned the people about it Now in these after years as he saw the thing overwhelm everybody, he nat urally thought back to those hectic days when as President tfee country was paying a dollar don on everything every-thing on earth. Now on the other hand in saying he saw the thing coming, might be doing him an injustice. He might not He may not have known any more about it than all our other prominent men. But we always felt he was two Jumps ahead of any of them on thinking ahead. Now If he did know that the fire was going to break out and had he warned and warned, and shouted and shouted, he would perhaps been Impeached, but he would have gone down as "The World's Smartest Man". . But predicting, or no predicting, the thing was coming anyhow.

Boston Transcript, Coming as a fitting climax of 10 years of steady, development, the greatest convention in the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative association's asso-ciation's history was held last week in Salt Lake. . Turkeymen, members of the Utah Turkey Growers Association, Joined the poultry group in convention and helped celebrate the tenth anniver sary of the latter organization's birth, Jan 17, 1923. And as a part of this celebration the state execu tive and nearly a dozen other con ventlon speakers paid high tribute to the role the poultry Industry and its association have played in the building of Utah's economic super structure. John H. Kemp of Logan was nam ed president of the Utah poultry association, succeeding Joseph An derson, who remains as a member of the board of directors. John A. Johnston of Provo was chosen first vice-president; Jesse W. Hcopes of Brtgham City, eecond vice- president and William A. Shuldberg of Pres ton, Idaho, third vice-president. Clyde C. Edmonds of Salt Lake was re-elected secretary-treasurer, and Harry L. Strong, assistant. New di rectors are Mr. Schuldberg, J. Loa Decker of Sandy, and E. J. Erekson of Payson. The turkey growers elected Joseph H. Thompson of Ephraim, president. succeeding A. DeMarr Dudley, Vernal, Ver-nal, and Orvil Scott of Charleston as vice-president. K. Jensen of Mantl was re-elected secretary-treasurer. The amendment to the corporate articles forever blocks the possibility possibili-ty of a relative small group obtaining voting control of the association. The changes contemplate the Issuance of one share of common stock carrying carry-ing one vote to each bona fide member mem-ber producer, define who is a mem ber, and prohibit voting by proxy. Furthermore, the amendment substitutes sub-stitutes the distribution of non voting finance stock, called certifl cates of interest, for the "special' stock now being issued to member producers in return for the one-cent a dozen scale-off on eggs made by the association for financing pur poses. Mr. Edmunds in giving the annual annu-al financial report showed that the association is in the best financial condition ever enjoyed.

Appeals to the poultrymen to re main loyal to their cooperative as sociation for their own benefit and that of the state were made by Governor Henry H. Blood, E. O. Ho ward, president of Walker Bank and Trust company, Benjamin Brown, New York market advisor and 6ales representative of the Northwestern Turkey Growers association, and Harold J. Lewis, Provo branch man ager. - Mr. Brown also warned poultrymen to desist from washing eggs, and urged a system of stamping each individual egg so that it will retain its identity from the producer to the housewife. J. M. Macfarlane, a director of the Utah State Farm Bureau, urged all cootieratives to work together in solving common problems, and J. L. Weidmann, pres ident of Tremonton Poultry associa tion, explained the functions of the 40 local groups. John H. Wootton, a prominent American Fork poultry producer, made a powerful plea for continued cooperation and support of the as sociation and showed what the as sociation had meant to the producer, to the industry and to the state.
