NATIONAL BANK CLOSED
RUN ON BANK IN WHICH AC-
CUsED rs sToCKHoLDER.
Statement From the Man Held Re-
sponsible for the Alleged Short
age-Grand Jury Busy.

PEORIA, H.. October THE Peoria
National Bank did not open its doors to-
day. C. H. Bosworth has appointed re-
ceiver and will take charge of the bank S
affairs pending liquidation. This is the re-
suit of action taken by the board of d.
rectors al a midnight meeting.
I'VE had several offers from banks who
wished to take over our business. but our
directors. after carefully considering the
matter, decided that the best thing to do
would be to Hquidate under the law. Every
depositor will be paid In full, and I am
confident that the stockholders will receive
a good return.
This Is the statement of S. o. Spring.
cashier of the Peoria National Bank. which
decided 10 close It's doors as the result of
the Dougherty investigation.
When the news that the Peoria National
Bank had been closed had spread, depos-
itors began to flock into the Dime Savings
Bank. in which Dougherty is a heavy
stakeholder, and by II O'Clock the bank
was experiencing heavy run. At
O'Clock the building was besfeged by anx-
ious stockholders, and the officials posted
the sixty-day sign. They announced that
the bank will be kept open until all de-
positors are satisfied.
In financial circles It Is not thought that
the bank Is in danger, as il has $500 600 in
cash on hand.
Statement From Dougherty.
During the day. Mr.. Dougherty came
from the Dime Savings Bank. where he
had been closeted with Mr.. o. ]. Bailey
and other gentlemen concerning securities
which Dougherty had deposited. Mr.
DoughertY went direct to the school board
office in the Library building, where he
talked freely about some phases of his af-
fairs.
Mr.. Dougherty, have you any statement
you would like 10 make concerning this af-
fair and its developments?"
II don't know what more 1 can say than
what has already appeared he replied
Il see by the papers that l am crazy (smil-
ingly) and am broken down. l did not know
ii myself"
THE putting up of securities is construed
as confession by most people, Mr.. Dough-
erty, was suggested
"All l have to say in that regard is sim
ply this: In putting the securities | have
in Mr.. Bailey's hands II was not for the
purpose of extenuating anything, but sim
ply. that 1 believe things will be shown
70 be right and that the amount thus de-
posted is much more than any one claims
the shortage to be- It has no reference
whatever to guilt or innocence. and IL was
farthest from my idea in so doing that
was in any way putting myself or any
one else in compromising position. 1t
does mean. however. that neither the school
board nor the Peoria National Bank will
lose one penny --------------

THE MOROCCAN ISSUE
MARKED REACTION IN PUBLIC
SENTIMENT AGAINST GERMANY.

PARIS. October IA marked reaction In
public sentiment has followed the Franco
German accord concerning the Morocco
conference. Many of the leading newspa-
pers are renewing their campaign Of criti-
cism against Germany. This is due prin-
cirally to Chancellor Won Buelow's open
statements favoring a Russo-German rap
proachment.
The Matin reviews the circumstances OF
NJ. Delcasse's retirement from the foreign
office. alleging that a number Of sensa-
ticnal events occurred in connection with
the change.
M. Delcasse Is represented as making a
speech to the ministry, warning them that
II they yielded to the German demands
concerning Morocco the ministry thereafter
would always be subject to German die
tetion.
The Matin further asserts that Great
Britain conveyed DEFINITE assurances to
France Of her readiness to mobilize the
British feet with the view Of adopting
aggressive measures II Germany attacked
France.
The Mathis Disclosures.
LONDON. October THE Mathis dis
closures purporting to give details In con-
nection with the resignation of the French
foreign minister, n. Delcasse. because of
the moroccan situation. and the sensational
statement that Great Britain not only COM
mCEicated to France her intention Of sup
porting France in the event Of a war with
Germany but actually giving details Of her
intentions regarding the place for the land
Ing OF troops and the seizure Of the Kiel
canal, created much talk In diplomatic cir
eies today and are published at length In
al the afternoon newspapers
IN ofncfal quarters, however, no express
sion of opinion was obtainabIe. Foreign
Minister Lansdowne was absent from the
city and consequently 1t was impossible to
secure a definite statement regarding the
actual lengths to which Great Britain went
at the time Of the crisis.
During that time the Associated Press
secured a statement from a high official of
the British foreign Office, which. to a GER
tain extent supports the assertions of the
Matin.
The statement referred to said that Great
Britain would welcome a defensive alliance
with France because it would insure long
continuance of European peace by acting
as check to German ambitions.

Oldest of all Crop pests.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly Is one of the Oldest Of all the crop
pests in this country, and that it's name
was given it as a result of the fact
that it was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the i'm
pedimenta of the Hesian troops sent
over against the American revolution
lists by George III. in 1776. 1t was
first noticed on Long Island about 125
years ago, and has since spread cock
tensively with the progress of civiliZa-
ton and wheat growing West, North
and South. Sometimes it completely
destroys the growing wheat in certain
sections, and the average loss it causes
is about 40, 900, 009 bushels annually, or
about or Z per cent of the total crop.
The chronological bureau has studied it
long and closely, and the recommends:
tiOUS IIldCiS 10 ldTIflSrS nave undoubtedly
kept the damage far below what it would
otherwise have been, and yet, in spite
of the scientists and the farmers, who
act on their advice, the fly got beyond
control during the season of four years
ago and destroyed at least so per cent of
the crop in the infested region, the re-
sultant loss being near $40, 000,0 900.
This extraordinary and unfortunate
development was due to h econdl-
lions of the weather favOrble to the pest
and to an unusual scarcity of its parasi-
tic enemy. The parasite which forms in
side the fly has been secured in large
numbers by entomologists and liberated
in several wheat growing States and
much good has rtsulted.-Ex.

Trooping, crowding, big and small,
On the threshold in the hall
Joining in the constant cry
Ever as the days go by,

From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home its earliest prise;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won
"Where's Mother?"
Burdened with lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that We can say,
where's Mother?"
Mother, with untiring hands,
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
Of the children as they cry,
Ever as the days go by,

Alfalfa IN Kentucky

acre. Or soil on which sweet
clover (mellilotus) has grown.
The object of this is to transfer
some of the bacteria that thrive
on alfalfa roots, to the new field.
1t is as the housewife puts yeast
in her bread.
j However, if the manure has
been put into the soil and it is not
sour, the seed itself will carry
enough bacteria to shortly inoc-
culate the field. These bacteria
increase very rapidly in soils fill
ed with humus.
| A good test of whether a field
will grow alfalfa or not is to OBJ
serve whether it contains earth
worms fish worms). If it doe
not the condition is wrong for al
falfa culture.
! After this sowing, nothing
should be done to the field until
the barley is ripe or the oats in
bloom. 1t may then be cut close
to the ground. This close cutting
is good for the young alfalfa
which needs clipping at this
time.
Set the binder then to cut as
fclose as possible, and if it must
be cut high for any reason fol-
low at once with the mower and
clip the stubble close. Then let
the alfalfa alone to make a second
growth. If there shonld come
rain it will grow rapidly for about
forty-five days or a little longer.
After that it may turn yellow and
cease to grow.
! That means that rust has struck
it. Leaf rust is the pest of alfal-
ia in Eastern States. The rem
edy for rust is moving off the
stems as close to the ground as
practicable.
If there is enough hay to be
worth saving rake it off and cure
it. If weeds are the main growth
allow them to lie and mulch the
land, supposing them not to be
thick enough to smother it.
/, When winter sets in have a
growth a foot high standing to
protect the crowns and hold the
snow. Do not ever pasture alfal-
ia the first season. Do not ever
allow stock to tramp over it in
cold weather or drive across it
with wagons.
Oftentimes the fall is a good
time to SOW alfalfa in Kentucky.
When there is enough moisture in
} the land to start it we'll in August
or September it may succeed we'll
sown alone. The manner would
be to pillow a wheat Stubble as
soon as possible after harvest,
applying a light coat of manure,
and Immediately working it dowd
to a good seed bed, using every
care to prevent its drying out.
The way to do this is to have a
harrow and roller in the field
when the breaking is done. Let
the plows run a quarter of a day
and finish out that half day by
rolling and narrowing the ground
to bring it to a degree Of fineness
that will enable it to hold mois-
ture.
No nurse crop is needed when
alfalfa is sown in the.fall; it must
be about an inch deep and should
not be soWn when there is merely
a little moisture in the ground
with dry soil beneath, lest it
sprout and perish before rains
come.
Weeds will not trouble this fall
sown alfalfa much and it makes
four crops of hay the next year,
though not quite so heavy crops
as the spring sown alfalfa should
make.
The time to make alfalfa hay is
when it is about half in bloom
and before the leaves have fallen
from the stem. That will be
about the tenth Of May. Take
this first crop off promptly to Sc
