Para, Brazil.—Airplanes may be em- ployed to map the valley of the great Amazon river. If the French are suc- cessful in their effort to use aircraft for surveying the routes of the rivers of French Guiana, it is understood the Brazilian .government will apply the same method to the survey of the Amazon and its afluents, A -French company is said to have been formed in Cayenne, with hangars on the Maroni river, and French avia- tors with flying experience gained in the war are being employed to run the ‘25 hydro-airplanes said to have been furnished by the government. In addition to making maps, the ma- chines will be employed for carrying valuable freight, mails and passengers. “‘There are immense rivers in French ‘Gulana, which, because of the presence of many rapids, are now only navi- gable in canoes, which take weeks to transport freight over distances which the hydro-airplanes can cover in as many hours, with always large -#tretches of smooth wateg offering a suitable surface for landing and “take- ofts.” The freight charges are said to be ‘high, and the traffic is expected to con- " sist mainly of gold, balato and essence of rosewood, which are the principal «exports of the colony. The passenger | ‘dbusiness 1s not expected to be heavy. ‘These hydro-airplanes will also be wused for prospecting the forests for ‘balato trees, which grow in groups, #0 that the foliage can, it is said, be readily distinguished by aviators flying fow over the tops of the forest trees. In the past the securing of fresh sources of balato has been a work of much danger and difficulty. Specially trained balato workers, well armed, traveling in bands of 15 or 20, have been employed to explore the forests, and they had to carry with them sup- :, plies to cover many months. STUDENT COSTS $641.60 YEAR Tuition Expense to Princeton Univer sity, for Which He Pays But $174. Princeton, N. J.—President John Greer Hibben of Princeton university authorized the following statement: At the request of the university au- thorities, Treasurer H. G. Duffield of | Princeton has just completed a study of the actual cost to the university of educating a student. The figures show that for the years 1912 to 1917 it cost an average of $641.60 annually to educate an under- graduate. Toward this the student paid an average of $174 in tuition fees. Thus, a student who attended Prince- ton received, in effect, an actual gift from the university each-year of serv- 1ces and work involving an outlay on the part of the university over and above the amount the student paid of $467.60. The statement asserts no increase in tuition fees is contemplated. FRENCH HELD IN PRISONS Captive Returned From Germany Tells of Being in Solitary Confine- ment in Fort. Dijon, France.—Germany still re ains French prisoners of war in close onfinement, it is claimed by Louis xPoucher, a French volunteer, who was " taken prisoner in 1918, and returned “to his home here recently. Wy declared that he, with two com- rades, was tried before a court-martial for attempting to escape, and was sen- tenced to ten years’' imprisonment in a fortress. He was taken to Danzig. and the others were sent to Koenigs- berg. The French mission from Ber- 1in which visited the Danzig fortress discovered, according to Boucher. sev- eral prisoners in solitary confinement, and had tliem released. Boucher was among them. French war office rec- ords had carried the word “disap- peared” against his name. GERMANS WANT WHITE HOUSE Propose to Spend 22,000,000 Marks for an Official Residence for Presi. dent. Berlin, Germany.—Plans are under way to spend 22,000,000 marks for the purchase and equipment of a residence for future German presidents, some- thing on the line of the White House in Washington or the Elysee !n Par- {s, but necessarily less pretentious. The pan-German papers are opposing the idea and one of them remarks sar- castically that the plan does not en- tirely fit in with Erzberger’s talk about “yttermost economy.” Numbers for Fong Sings. San Francisco, Cal.—So many Fong Sings appeared to charges of violation of .the federal parcotic laws that Fed- eral Judge William Van Fleet of the federal court here was forced to place them 1n numbered chairs, such as ™ /‘Fong Sing No. 1, Fong Sing No. 2, etc., down the line. Each was tread- ing on the other’s toes, so to speak. and all the attorneys and all the king’s men had a terrible time parting them again. Forty-two Chinese faced the charge of selling narcotics without a license. e RE— THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Works Council Growing Popular in" U. S. Industry HE rapid growth in America of the works council system, which the employers’ group in the defunct labor-capital-public conference insisted must he written into any pronouncement on collective bargaining is shown in a survey just finished by the na- tional industrial council board. Up to the war period the works council was comparatively unknown, although the basic idea is old as the hills, the “chapel” in printing estab- lishments, for example, running back almost to the days of Gutenberg. But as a development in industrial organi- Zation the system is among the new- comers, and few other plans for im- proving shop relations are attracting more widespread interest. The works council may be described as a collective dealing plan, under which plant employees, through representatives chosen by themselves from among their own number, share with the management in adjusting conditions of employ- ment. The first known American example of a works council, the survey dis- closed, dated§back only to 1904. Up *o January, 1918, only 29 such organiza- tions had been established. But during the last 20 months the growth has been so fast that now there are known to be 225 works councils in 176 KRAMER BROS. corporations and companies, in addition to many that have not been disclosed. Nearly all of tkem are located east of the Mississippi; the largest num- ber is found in the branches of the metal trades, and the next largest in the ship-building industry. T CANDLED EGGS BEST * 1.

PUPSIPPI IT IS POOR ECONOMY TO UNDERFEED STOCK | Object Should Be to Carry Them Through Winter Cheaply. Heavy Feeding of Calves and Yean lings Is Expensive—Cows Can Be Wintered on Good Hay Alone —Provide Shelter, The principal object in wintering | stock cattle is to carry them through cheaply without letting them lose flesh. It is poor economy to under- feed cattle in winter and let them lose much that they gained in the summer time. Heavy feeding of calves and yearlings in winter is expensive and reduces the gains they will make on grase the following summer when gains are cheap. Straw, beet pulp, sugar beets, can all be used to advantage. Cows can be wintered on good hay alone or on 30 pounds of kafir silage and one round cottonseed meal per day. Al- falfa hay or upland hays make good rations in themselves, while with prairie or cane hay or Sudan grass, it will be better to give some extra feed, especially to cows that are to drop calves. Some- shelter is advisable in winter, even though only a windbreak. Where there are plenty of trees, cattle can often get along very well with these | for shelter. The following are some representative rations that might be used in wintering stock where fatten- ing for market is not desired: (1) 20 pounds hay (alfalfa or park hay). (2) 25 pounds cane hay or corn fodder, one pound cottonseed cake. (3) 30 pounds cane or kafir silage, one pound cottonseed meal.—Chas. I Bray, in “Live Stock in Colorado.” EASY TO DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre with Sage Tea and Sulphur When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it’s done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients -called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound.” You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attrac- tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound and look years younger. GRADING BUTTER AIDS PRICE Profitable to Creamery Men to Make Best Quality and Then Market It on Scored Basis. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The United States department of agriculture provides "a butter-inspec- tion service on the New York, Chica- go, Boston, Philadelphia, and Minne- apolis markets. Thie service is not compulsory, but it is valuable to pro- ducers or dealers who market butter of superior quality as the “official once over” guarantees the quality of the product and correlates it to its selling Comparing tne squar:. -Print in a Car- ton With a Pound Print Yrapped in Parchment Paper. price. One day recently a 63-pound tub of butter at one of the markets scored 87 and sold for 50 cents a pound, or a total of $31.50, as com- pared with another similar weight tub of butter which scored 93 and sold at 63 cents a pound, or for $39.89. The higher-scoring butter commanded a gross price of $8.79 higher than that of its lower scoring mate. It pays creamery men to make the best grade of butter possible and then to market it on the scored basis in order to realize its full worth. Subscribe for The Pioneer.
