The Mighty Thunder Cloud and theReiy little 
Columbia are first cousins 
T HE mighty thunder cloud often generates and 
wastes 150 thousand horsepower, when it hurls 
its terrific bolt flashing and crashing through 
the sky. 
The fiery little Columbia generates a fraction of 
this volume, but sends its power on a specific errand, 
through wires, under control, without waste. 
It is electricity in both cases. But the 
mighty thunder cloud works at the com¬ 
mand of Nature for an unknown purpose. 
The fiery little Columbia works at your 
command for a definite use. 
THE DRY BATTERY J 
T HE Columbia Dry Battery is the 
handyman of the world. It ignites 
stationary' engines, autos, trucks, trac¬ 
tors, and motor-boats; rings bells and 
buzzes buzzers; lights lanterns and makes 
telephones talk; runs toys for the 
youngsters. , ' . 
Motorists the world over know the 
wisdom of carryingthe extra set of vigor¬ 
ous Columbias—to be connected in a jiffy 
when the regular ignition begins to loaf. 
THE STORAGE BATTERY 
T HE Columbia Storage Battery is so 
hale and hearty it is guaranteed to 
do definite work for a definite time. Its 
health certificate even stipulates that 
another battery will be put to work 
for you without additional cost if the 
original should fail within the guarantee 
period. 
A unique plan is back of thisColumbja 
Storage Battery Service. Any Columbia 
Service Dealer will test, charge, or 
wate our battery. But if surgery is 
nec i iry, he will pass it along—with 
its sc unbroken—to a nearby Columbia 
Service Station, where only competent 
experts will open it and remedy it. 
This plan heads off tinkering—which, 
as you motorists know, is responsible 
for half your battery troubles. 
Columbia Service Dealers or Service 
Stations anywhere will be glad to dem¬ 
onstrate why and how you—like legions 
of other automobile owners—willprosper 
with Columbia Quality and Service. 
Grow More Grain \_® 
Last year you produced more grain because “Food 
would win the war.” This year, Uncle Sam is 
asking for even greater grain production to help him 
establish a just peace and save the world from 
anarchy. Use a Crown Drill; put every grain where it will make th< 
best growth. The Crown force feed insures accurate seeding—can be 
regulated instantly. Powerful springs hold the discs to their work 
prevent skips on hard spots. You can sow dent 
corn and kidney beans as well as small grains—no 
cracked kernels. The Crown fertilizer feed will 
handle dry or damp goods—instantly regulated. 
Drills are made in all sizes, both hoe and disc.

Up-State Farm Notes 
Beekeepers Advertise. —< )ver 100 bee¬ 
keepers of the Onondaga County Bee¬ 
keepers’ Association recently met at the | 
Syracuse College of Agriculture, with an I 
all day session. It was decided to com- 1 
mence with the Summer the work of ad- ! 
vertising in Syracuse papers the facts 
regarding honey as a valuable food pro- ! 
duct, and the uses to which it may be 
put. This is the first step the association 
lias taken along the lines of co-operative, 
intensive work, and if it proves a success 
will be followed by further efforts to 
bring the apiarist and his product before 
the public. The following officers for the 
year were elected: President, B. J. 
Rant, Onondaga Valley; vice-president, 
F. \V. I vessel', Minna; secretary and 
treasurer, John H. Cunningham, Syra¬ 
cuse University. 
The War on Corn Borer. —Commis¬ 
sioner of Agriculture Charles S. Wilson 
announces that recently discharged sol¬ 
diers and sailors will lie given preference 
in employing men to assist in exterminat¬ 
ing the European corn borer. The work 
will be laborious and in the open, and 
will last about 12 weeks. After careful 
inspection in all parts of the State no 
sign of the borer has been found in other 
than Albany, Schenectady and Mont¬ 
gomery counties. 
Peach Prospects Good. —In the Sodus 
section 90 per cent of the peach buds are 
alive and thrifty. In Orleans County, if 
no zero weather comes between now and 
Spring, the outlook is good for a record 
crop. Peach growers, by reason of the 
many trees killed outright by the exces¬ 
sive cold of last Winter, of the scant 
crop last year, and dearth of labor and 
collapse of prices in others, have come to 
the point where they must have a rea¬ 
sonable crop or quit the business. And 
the help problem must be solved or they 
will still have to quit. 
Change in Status of Indian Gov¬ 
ernment. —A great conference of Federal 
and State agents and leaders of the var¬ 
ious Indian tribes of the State has just 
been held on the Onondaga reservation. 
Judge A. F. Jcnks. deputy attorney-gen¬ 
eral of the State and a leading student of 
Indian law, exploded a bomb when he 
declared that the State of New York had 
not the slightest right to pass laws of 
any nature governing Indians. A lively 
session followed. He explained that if 
an Indian commits a crime less than the 
seven major ones which are attended to 
by the Federal authorities no one but an j 
Indian has the slightest legal authority 
in the case. This means that all Indian 
schools must be closed, that State physi¬ 
cians have no authority in enforcing rules 
safeguarding the health of the Indians, 
that the State Board of Charities is ab¬ 
solved from caring for indigent Indians, 
and that Indian agents appointed by the 
State have no power to lease land, and 
that leases already given will be can¬ 
celled. Governor Smith called the con¬ 
ference with the intention of fully open¬ 
ing the legal and social status of the 
Indians, with the understanding that the 
findings of the conference will be ac¬ 
cepted. After impressive ceremonies the 
decision was arrived at on the second day 
that: the Department of Justice at Wash¬ 
ington shall institute friendly proceedings 
against the State of New York to deter¬ 
mine the legal status of the Indians of 
the State, and pending its decision the 
State shall continue to supervise the 
health and education of the Indiaus on 
the reservations. A vigorous campaign 
was instituted to enfranchise the Indians. 
Lieutenant-Governor Walker was pre¬ 
sented with an arrow in token of the 
wish that it might find a spot of justice 
in the white man’s heart and he was 
given a new name, “Ilodesahnequa,” or 
“Big Chief’s Friend,” by Chief Shenan¬ 
doah of the Oneidas, the descendant 
of the big chief who made a similar pre¬ 
sentation to Peter Stuyvesant 250 years 
ago. This was the greatest gathering of 
Indian chiefs since 1(542, and as they 
filed past the Lieutenant-Governor, each 
grasping the hand of the “friend of the 
white father at Albany,” the moving pic¬ 
ture cameras recorded the scene for future 
history of the Six Nations. 
Milk Dealers Not Giving Bond — 
As a result of the inquiry of the Cortland 
County Farm Bureau the License Bureau 
at Albany reports that only half of the 
1(5 milk dealers buying liquid milk in that 
county have given proper guarantee of 
payment to protect the farmers’ interests. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture lias 
taken all the time since last August first, 
when most of the firms applied for a 
license, some of them requesting exemp¬ 
tion from furnishing bonds — and this 
large number still remains, with no report 
as to assets and reliability, while the 
farmers have risked losing thousands of 
dollars’ worth of milk pending this slow 
investigation. Surely new enactments are 
needed to force the present bonding law 
more effectively, and to hold the depart¬ 
ment up to prompt attendance to its duty 
in this matter. The State Grange recom¬ 
mended active enforcement of the bonding 
law. 
IIolsteins for Boyb and Girls. —The 
Second National Holstein Club of Che¬ 
mung County has purchased 20 purebred 
heifers for the boy and girl members of 
the club, each giving his or her note, 
payable in one year. At that time an 
auction sale will be held and the notes 
paid, and the profits given to the mem¬ 
bers. *«• 0- F.
