If You Know Any News Tell the

j for civic betterment that you
j could undertake.
Because of tha diseases trans-
mitting powers of flies they
should be kept away from hu-
man food. Tight fkting screens
must continue to be used untill
the community as a whole learns
to lapply the simple measure for Miss Nelle Costello spent
control of the fly. when screens Tuesday visiting in Woodward
will no longer be needed.
The annually organized sys- ' * •
tematically conducted ’’Clean up
Campaign" is gaining in favor
very rapidly in all parts of the
United States. No community
is too clean to participate in the
movement. It is at least a sus-
picious sign when city officials
or business men refuse to enter
upon this program, fearing that
jthers will think that their city
must be terribly dirty to have
to undertake a clean-up cam-
paign. As a matter of fact a
city is a large house hold and
should be treated accordingly.
No one thinks evil of a good
housewife when she gives her
home a* thorough cleaning and
this she does much oftener than
once a year.
The clean-up is for the
sake of health as well as for
appearance, and the conditions is
such in many cities and towns
that the crusade against the fly
must also be made a matter
ordinance.
P. L. Clemence enjoyed a vis-
it from his sisters from Arkan

G. C. Gray and wife and son.
William, returned from their trip
to Stillwater Wednesday. Miss
Julia Gray, who has been at-
tending school also Mrs. Robert-
son accompanied them home.

Tarm-Hand Hero in Herbert
C’j ck's Novei Becomes School-
Teacher—Children Aid Him.
In Herbert Quirk s farm novel. “Tbe
Brown Manse, the farmhand hero
becomes a school teacher, and pro-
ceed* -'o teach vrithci;: any respect for
cultural traditions. He treats the pu-
pils as fried* and associates He
regards his school as a sort of labora-
tory in which the children help him
work out practical problems of their
own homes and farms
He doesn't make them sit stiff and
silent for hours »t a time As his busi-
ness assistants, they are free to more
about and consult him and each other
like men in an office. There's a low
hum of conversation, which doesn't
disturb anybody, because everybody is
intensely interested in what ha't do-
ing
The boys and girls flock to school
an hour betore the bell rings, with
samples of grass seed and corn emtit
and insect specimens and things, and
they can hardly be driven home when
school closes. They are not crammed
with book learning. Tbe usual tan-
books occupy a minor place In their
jc&tion Their arithmetic examples
leal with such matters as the per-
centage of loss in a wheat crop based
on a given proportion of weed seeds
in the sown wheat, and the cow popu-
lation of the township and the ratio
of butterfat to milk and feed. An es-
«ay on corn culture Is valued more
highly than one on poetry, Reading
lessons are as lively as not taken
from farm journals Geography is not
a matter of maps, but a live subject
connected with the food the children
eat and the ckth°s they wear and thp
treasures in their pockets and the
crops in th'Mr barns—where every-
thing comes from and goes to.
And book culture? They get that
too, as a sort of gjde Issue, it comes
easily enough because their minds are
kept at such a pitch of activity by
vita! human interests they can pick
up In odd moments the formal facte
considered necessary. "Let us cease
thinking 60 much about agricultural
“ducatlon, and devote ourselves to
educational agriculture," says Mr.
Quick. So will the nation be made
strong."
And Isn't he right? Isn't agricul-
ture itself so big and all-embracing a
thing that it can be used In the coun-
try schools c.a a medium through
which the country boy and girl ob-
«ain mental training, a knowledge of
ih« world and genuine culture?
Shouldn't country children. Instead
of being crammed with artificial stuff
based on antiquated standards or city
standards, he treated frankly as Ju-
venile farmers and farmers' wives,
and be taught to love their work and
environment, and be prepared to live
intelligently and joyfully the life for
which they are destined?

EASY TO ERADICATE

Good Plan to Get Neighbors to
Also Treat Their Seed-
Spores Fly With Wind.
Tn many localities the loss from
stinking smut or loose smut in wheat
Is as much aa 25 per cent or 30 per
cent. It Is easy to eradicate smut, but
unless you can got adjoining neighbors
to Irrai their pood for smut, the spores
will fly over the fence from the un-
treated grain, reinfecting the treated
grain.
To one pint of full-strength formal-
dehyde (you can get It at any drug
store) add 35 or 40 gallons of water
Spread out the se«d on a floor or can-
• as. and sprinkle with formaldehyde
elution until thoroughly moist, but
net wet enough to pack In the hand,
.'hovel or rake over repeatedly to dis
tribute the moisture evenly. Shovel
into a pile and cover with narks or
canvas for at least two hours, the
ranvas having been soaked In the so-
lution to kill any spores which might
ave remained. Take oft the blankets
and rake until the grain is dry, which
• dil only take a few minutes.
Be sure that your formaldehyde Is
of fa’l strength because there Is much
c-f It that is very weak.
