OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS FARM LABOR SITUATION The farm labor situation for the country as a whole is be- coming decidedly easier, it is announced by the department of agriculture. Figures on the volume of employment, and the need of farm hands in the agricultural regions, which have been compiled by the bureau of crop estimates, indicate that the supply is both more plentiful and less expensive. At the same time, it appears that the farmers this spring are getting along with as little hired help as they can. The percentage of normal supply of and demand for hired far mlabor is given, by the bureau of crop estimates, beginning with 1918, as follows: Relative Relative Year Supply Demand 1921 95.2 87.5 1920 72.4 105.3 1919 84.4 101.8 1918 72.9 101.4 The survey of the bureau was conducted according to states, and a careful resume made of the conditions that were found to prevail in each state.The Farmer. FITTING CEREMONY AND APPROPRIATE PLACE The yalue to Bemidji of the new armory is rapidly becom- ing apparent. For the first time, Bemidji citizens were able to gather in an appropriate building yesterday and participate in a community patriotic meeting, and what could be more in- spiring than the audience which gathered yesterday afternoon to take part in the Memorial Day exercises? With the Stars and Stripes floating over the heads of all assembled and here and there interspersed the uniforms of the soldiers and sailors of our army and navy betokening those who have fought for our country and those who are ready to fight again when the occasion requires, who could listen to the stirring words of patriotism and nofj be touched? It was apparent that all were duly appreciative of the event commemorated and the appropri- ate manner in which it was commemorated. O i POLITICS IN THE PULPIT? Politics in the jmlpit? No, not politics as such but if a political party enters into an "entangling alliance" with amoral .issue that fact should not close.the mouth of a preacher and prevent the application of the Word to the question at issue. Though it may be lamentable foolishness for one to devote an entire sermon to a politico-ethical issue, that preacher would be decidedly wanting in stamina who cannot pay his respects thereto in a brief but forceful manner. It is difficult to con- ceive of a moral issue that could rightly claim the whole time of a sermon it is equally hard to imagine an issue with moral content that should not be given direct and positive treatment in the course of a sermon easily lending itself to the: occasion. Northwestern Advocate. NERVEdny Duty Devolving on Cook for East African Monarch Can Not Be Called a Sinecure. The Rev, John Roscoe, rector of Ovington Norfolk, kept members of the Royal society wondering for more than an' hour while he lectured on his journey through East Africa, where he went on a tour of Investigation on behalf .of the government aud the Royal society. King George was amused by the traveler's description of the royal serv ants at Bunyoro, one of the places Mr. Roscoe visited. He described their duties in his lecture in London. "The king's chief cook ims a very trying job," said Mr. Roscoe. "The custom Is that every morning he brings to the king pot of specially prepared meat, with which he must walk all around the royal enclosure. With his itce whitened he enters the presence, and In a dead silence throughout the court, which may not be broken by coughing or sneezing on pain of instant death, the chief cook puts a piece of meat at the end of a fork Into the king's mouth. "He does this four times, but If hy chance or nervousness he louche* the king's teeth with the, metal fork he dies instantly. "These servants find the ordeal so trying that they can only carry It out for a f"u da.vs, after which tlicy ire sent away for a six weeks' holiday. That is all the meat the king is sup posed to have In dny and for the rest he .Ihes on milk."London Daily Mail. E. H. DENTJ, Sac. and M*i J. D.

They started on the drive and the horse trotted along at 1v satisfactory speed for the first half-mile. When the speed began to slacken the young man said: "Get up, Closer." The girl immediately made proper manifestation of her .indignation. "That's my horse's name," replied the youth, apologetically. "Well, that's just what I was won dering about," said the girl.

A womau who Js known in the south ern Indiana town in which she lives for her friendliness and absentmind edness, recently went to Indian apolis on a shopping tour.

However, the hens say by their actions that Blue grass on the lawn is not as palata'ble as thq newly growing grain in cloae by fields. On a city lot or two, per-.ithe m'anent green ranges are not practi cal. Here the-available space should be divided into three or four runs, EachJ may be successively spaded and I sown, thus -providing fresh ground as -well as throughout summer. When to turn the hens In, depends on the amount of green feed available. "These feeds may be supplied by lawn clippings as they are made, waste let .tuce, beet tops, cabbage leaves and other garden products that hens like.

Where large runs are available, Ken tucky blue grass aiwf Drome grass are probably thti best permanent grasses. Unless they ore cut frequently, they do not furnish highly palatable green feed.
