Value of Mammoth Glover.

Men of experience say that mammoth
clover will produce twice as much pas
turage for stock as the medium red, if
it is kept we'll grazed. When heavily
stocked, the amount of feed produced
by an acre of land is enormous. If the
clover is not kept short, the growth is
too coarse and is not relished as well
as the medium red. It is the common
experience of stockmen that the bloat-
ing Of cattle on clover may be prevent
ed by having some timothy mixed with
the clover. There may be exceptions
to this rule, but have heard many
cattlemen say they have never known of

NJ. E. Clapp. We dislike exceedingly
to see the senator's interests imperilled
in any way by corporate influences
which are determined to defeat him..
Martin Stephenson, one of the best
commissioners Mower county ever had,
is not candidate for reelection In the
first district, which is very much to be
regretted. Mr.. Stephenson has always
taken a broad and business like view of
the interests of the county and has
stood for an economical and wise ex-
penditure of the county funds. Among
those mentioned as his successor are
Helga A. Peterson of Udo]pho and W.
H. Pierce of Dexter.
In another column may be found the
announcement of Joseph keenan, OF
this city that he will not be candidate
for denomination as county commits
sioner from this fifth district. He has
ably served the county for the past
four years and his announcement will
give full particulars of his reasons for
now withdrawing. Among those al
ready mentioned as his successor are
Albert M. Smith, William Christie,
Henry Birkett and VIM. Todd. 1t is
all important position and the best
man should be selected to fill it.
Congressman James A. Tawney will
evidently have no opposition at the re-
publican primaries next month. The
attempt to defeat him two years ago
is proving very discouraging to his
opponents to attempt a similar move
ment at this time The democratic
candidate who will be his rival at the
polls in November has not yet been
selected.
| At the head of this column We give a
list of all who had filed up to yesterday
for the republican primary. An inspec-
ton of the list will show what we have
claimed all along that on the main part
of the ticket there will be practically no
opposition.
|. No one in the list Of those who have
fled for the primary is more worthy of
support than Nick Nicholson, candi-
date for sheriff. He has been for sev-
eral years the efficient deputy and, as
the present incumbent voluntarily with
draws, MIR. Nicholson is next in line
with his valuable experience and his
successful record. He has proved him
self a fearless official and shrewd de.
tective of criminals.
The democratic county convention
to elect ten delegates to the state con
vention meeting at Minneapolis, Aug
30, will be held at the court house, Mon

aries will be held Friday evening, Aug

w. 4. Nolan for Representative.
W. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow is a
candidate at the coming primaries for
denomination as representative from
the north district. 1t has been gener-
allv conceded until recently that he
would have little or no opposition, as
his four years experience and his prom
inent position in the state would in
sure much for Mower county in the

next session. An effort is now being
made to defeat him in the primaries.
We believe that it is for the interests Of
the county that he be retained in his
present position for another term.
1t is as true in local as in national
legislation that it takes time and eN-
perience to gain influence and power.
I he first term of almost any state or
national legislator is practically
cipher 50 far as being generally known
OF cOunseled with. Mr. Nolan took a
commanding position III the last legis-
lature being on some Of the most i'm
pOrtant committees and he is now
WIDELY mentioned for speaker of the
next house. It is idle to believe that
any new and inexperienced member
eau have the same prominence and in
tluence. Mr., Nolan's position in voting
against the iniquitous new capitol grab
and III other important measures ought
to receive recognition from his con-
stituency.
If he is reelected representative and
should become speaker of the house, he
would be in a position to have still
greater influence and Mower county
would be signally honored. 1t is a
shortsighted policy that turns legis-
lator out just when he has reached a
commanding position. The careers of
Mark H. Dunnell and James A. Taw-
ney in making the first Minnesota con-
gressional district one Of the most in
huential in the west have resulted from
their being kept for successive terms in
congress. Mr.. Nolan seeks no further
legislative honors after the next term.
He will then gladly lay down the duties
and responsibilities. He seeks the
honor and endorsement of reelection
at this time for the reasons stated
above. 1t is up to his constituents to
say whether they will Loyalty stand by
him in the present campaign.
II. w. Lightley for Representative.
Hon Henry w. Lightley has filed
for denomination as representative
from the south district and a three
cornered fight has been put up to de-
feat him by dividing the vote. There
are several excellent reasons for his re-
nomination at this time. He is the
only farmer who has filed from this dis,
trict. The business and corporate in
terests are we'll looked after in our
senator and there is no good reason for
shutting out the most important in.

in the legislature, in fact too many fo1

HOP PICKING SEASON ON
GREAT INFLUX OF PEOPLE
The Hop Yards of the County Will Be
in Full Operation by the Last of
This Week

81 don't believe there were ever so
many people here before to pick the
hops of the county" said Dan Lesh to
Herald reporter, ''and | am afraid some
OF them will be disappointed because
they won't be able to get the work they
expect | am now using in the GO acre
tract upon which l began to picl, last
week, about $50 pickers." 1t is fact
that there will be a great number of
hoppickers from out side points this
year which will swell the ranks to ex-
coed the number of pickers ever gathered
here in any previous year. Every train
from the east or west is loaded with
families who are bent upon spending
three weeks in the Yakima valley hop
fields. Many of these people come here
at this time not necessarily to pick hops
for the money there is in it, but more
especially to have an outing. see the
town and country and enjoy the farmers
fruit.
A conservative estimate OF how many
hoppickers will be here this year places
the number between 1000 and 5000 men,
women and children. OF this number
there will be at least $500 Indians. The
Indians come not only from the Yak
ina reservation, but eastern and north
ern Washington and Idaho always con-
tribute a large number of the aborigi-
mes to the hoppicking force. The fields
that are now being operated upon are:
The Mckee Co., II. b. Scudder. Del
Hiscock, Yakima Hop Company, George
S. Rankin. A. B. Weed, Henry Schott.
The Wiley's, Mead, and Others The last
of the week will find most of the fields
filled with the busy workers.

CONGRESSMAN JONES RETURNS.
Has Travelled a Great Deal the Past
Month in the Interests of "Rivers
and Harbors."

Congressman w. L. Jones returned
home Monday morning from months
trip in the east. He left here about
August |, and met the "Rivers and Har-
! bors" committee of. congress in New
York city on the 10th of August. An
inspection was made of the New York
harbor and Hudson river. The commit
tee next retired upon Boston and sur
| rounding towns, thence into Rhode Is
land and Connecticut where u general
inspection of government work and pro-
jected work was made. The next move
of the committee was back across the
state of New York to Buffalo. Duluth
and the headwaters of the Mississippi,
where thorough inspection of the gov
eminent reservoirs were made. down the
river to st. Paul and on to st. Louis.
This is trip which the "Rivers and
Harbors' committee of congress deemed
necessary to make in order to get a
personal inspection of work that has
been proposed for this department of
the government as this committee drafts
the bills for such improvements and rec
ommends or fails to recommend said
Improvements to congress. The eX-
penses of this trip were not paid by the
government either. The members of
the committee stand all expenses.
Of course the committee is usually
entertained in the towns and cities they
visit. but aside from taking this expense
off their hands the congressman pay
their own expenses.
Mr.. Jones was glad to get back home
again.

A CIVIC LEAGUE ORGANIZED.
The Yakima Civic League Organized for
Law Enforcement-After Hop
Picking Will Get After Violators.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Yakima Civic league was held
at the office of Attorney l.. III. Roberts
last evening, where matters pertaining
to the enforcement of the laws which
safeguard public interests were gone
over. The constitution under which the
league will work is modelled after that
of the Portland Municipal league, which
has been II great success. 1t is county
wide in its scope and will operate I'M
der county laws and be enforced by
county officers. Other towns than North
Yakima. in fact every town in the coun-
ty will come within the pale of its mis-
sion. Upwards of hundred citizens
have identified themselves with the
movement and it is expected that its
membership will be swelled to 500.
Speaking of the movement Mr.. Roberts
said:
1T has been guessed at by many that
movement was on foot to take sum-
mary action against the violators of the
Sunday law, during the height of the
hop picking season, but another guess
is coming. 1t has unfortunately been
the case in the past that whenever civic
virtue was reused enough to lift her
head it has been on tine eve of that
season of the year when necessity is
n valid excuse, if indeed it ever be one
When the merchant has loaded up with
goods, depending upon the laws of GUS
tom to enable him to unload. and forti-
flying himself in his deeds with the con-
ISOLATION that ne is not as great law
defer as those engaged in lines of bust
ness that transgress the year around.
The League appreciates the spirit
with which the greater percentage OF the
business men of the community look
upon this violation and commends the
stand taken by the large number who
nave decided voluntarily against Sun
day opening. Most of the merchants
are with us in overcoming the chains of
the past and the fact is that the mer-
cenary incentive that formerly impell-
ed them to become law breakers is now
to great extent wanting. As many of
them say. There's nothing in it any
more The League however, does not
expect to become the oppressor of any
one, and it is considered ill-advised to
proceed against any offender, in view of
the customs of the past. before sufficient
notice is given that the public will no
longer tolerate this abuse. But notice
is now given that such will not be the
attitude of the League longer than this
present season and the violator of law
will then have the law-abiding citizen
to consider. and those whose duty it is
to make and enforce the law are warned
not TO forget their trust.
"The League is to be IA factor for good
government in this county and is coun-
ty-wide in its organization 1t is gov
erned by an executive committee of elev-
en- members. and all male residents of
the county are eligible to membership.
A number of organizers are in the field
and there is no doubt that it means
business and that it will become an inn
portant factor for civic rightness in the
government of this county and its
towns"

Good For Mail Carriers.

BY II recent classification of rural
mail carriers by the department OF the
government having this in charge, the
basis upon which the salaries were made
was decided upon the basis of the mil
cage of each carrier.
Congressman Jones was petitioned in
regard to this classification on the
ground that it was unjust to intercede
in behalf of the rural carriers in this
county. 1t was shown that a certain
carried while ne had only a short dis
tance to travel, yet had 240 boxes to
call upon. while on the other hand n
carrier with only l35 boxes to attend to
was paid a much higher salary than
his colleague. Congressman Jones sue
ceeded in bringing the department to
time and had all the rural mail carriers
from this county placed in the same
class drawing the maximum salary of
1920 per annum.

Judge Rudkin May Not Hold Usual Term
of October Criminal Court Owing
to "No Business"

There is very little criminality going
on Just now within the bounds of Yak
ina county. The extreme vigilance with
which the authorities have guarded the
borders and deferred the depredations
of crime has caused a wonderful slump
in the usual fall business for the Grim
nal court. Judge Rudkin said to a re
porter for The Herald. that there were
hardly any cases to come up, and Il
term of court might not be held until
