There seems "to be a misunderstand
ing about this case in some way. as
the attorneys for the prosecution tell
us that ttfe last two continuances have
been made without their consent, or
tljAr knowledge. The question invol
ved is a very plain and simple one
We doubt if there is a Commissioner
on the Board but who will testify to
the fact that r.o statement has been
published since 1914. and the law
plainly ray. the Commissioners shall
publish an itemized statement of the
receipts and disbursements of the town
every year, or they are subject to
fine of $100.00. .From what we can
learn there is no one anxious to sae

vtow I'NDKR OK BI RN WHEAT
STl'BBLE.
Hessian Fly in the stubble or the pre
sent wheat crop. Mr. Franklin Sher
man. Chief in Entomology, advises and
urges that all wheat fields which are
badly infested should be so treated as |
to reduce the number of flies to em
erge in the early autumn.
In case some .other ?rop is already j
sown in the wheat, one must exercise
his own best judgment as to whether j
it is best to sacrifice it. tfMt Is de
sired to sow peas, and burning over j
eft" the Stubble is not desirable, "their
the" wheat stubble shculd be plowed
under, coveting it as deeply as possi
ble. .
"But the most thorough-going pro- i
ccdure." states Mr. Sherman. "Is to
burn over the wheat stubble prom
ptly as possible, after the Vheat is
cut. and then plow deeply in addi- ?
tlou." If this is done and the wheat
sow p .next fall within the period of I
time wfiich is deemed best, which dat- j
es can be furnished by county agents,
or by Mr. Sherman, on application,
there is every reason to expect that
serious Fly-injury to the next crpp!
will be avoided.
In the present drive for war sav
ings stamps the government puts it up
to us all to make small economies to
ward a great cause. The Liberty
bene: issues call upon us to look ahead
and l alance the difference between in
con-.e and outgo, and figuring careful

ward the purchase of bonds. After
we '.ave done this, the small sacrifi
