Alfalfa hay contains too much pro-
tein to make a complete ration. The
best results are secured by feeding it
with corn fodder, ensilage, wheat or
oat straw, or roots. Unless more car
bohydrates (starch, fat and fiber) are
thus added, part of the protein will
be wasted.

ALL THE EVENING
THE L. OF o. BOYS ARE sPLEN-
DID MUSICIANS AND SINGERS
AND DO SOME MIRTH PRovoK-
ING STUNTS THAT ARE ALMOST
HEARTH

Salem society will enjoy an enter
tainment of merit this evening ac-
cording to reports from Albany ia
which place the clubs appeared be-
fore a crowded honse last night IN
the first of ferries of concerts to be
given on a tour of Oregon and Wash
ington. From accounts published in
the Albany papers this morning the
concert OF the Oregon clubs given in
that city last evening was a tremen-
dous success.
The strictly musical numbers were
rendered in such manner as to win
the unstinted approval OF the most
experienced critics In the audience.
and to call forth unrestrained and
well deserved applause. 1t was with
the new and catchy college songs,
however. that the Glee club fairly
took the house by storm and brought
II up to the highest pitch OF enthu-
siasr The audience seemed deter
mined to hear everything the boys
had on the bill OF fare and obliged
them TO respond to encore after en-
core. The supply OF new material In
reserve was apparently inexhaustible
and the last recall brought out even
more applause than the first.
oregon's reputation for putting on
new and absolutely original stunts
was sustained by the famous college
comedians, Van Dusen, Cooper apd
Germans. The dude at college rs
portrayed by Germanus convinced
the audience that Is some cases haz-
ing could be resorted to with good
effect, and by their expressions tha
audience indicated that they them
selves were ready to come TO the as
sistance OF the hazers should II be-
come necessary.
Coopers original parody on enc

piece OF work as has been given b,
professionals and In the middle VI
the fourteenth verse he had to b,
stopped by the ushers so that 4
neshy gentleman occupying a from

the people what real college spor
was.

TO CHECK USURY

rare opportunity is given to COM
mend something done in the present
session of the legislature. 1t is the
Introduction of a bill in the assembly
having for its purpose the stoppage of
outrageous usury in California. But as
the loan sharks are we'll supplied with
money it is questionable whether the
necessary proportion of members can
resist yielding to the force of the say
ing that "money talks"
California is notoriously the para
disc of shylocks. There is no legal
limitation whatever to the rapacity of
money lender if he can secure the
victims signature to the compact. In
the absence of specification to the con-
trary an obligation bearing interest
carries a rate of per cent per annum.
The average money lender however
adopts the railway maxim of exacting
"all the traffic will bear" And the
law supports him.
The bill now before the legislature
relating to usury fixes II per cent per
annum as the maximum rate that may
be exacted for the use of money, no
matter what higher figure may be spe-
Gifted in the obligation. That limit GER
tainly is high enough, but there are
hundreds Of persons in Los Angeles to-
day who are paying financial vampires
as high as per cent a month for
| loans.
The argument that persons who are
pressed for money must have "accom-
modation' at any price and are will
ing to pay any rate is not applicable
i'm cases of outrageous extorton. A
person who would obligate himself to
pay such interest rates should be pro-
tectcd by the law from his own folly.
In some states usurious stipula-
tion invalidates an obligation in re-
spcct TO principal as well as interest.
The bill now before the state assembly,
however, specifics that "all written
agreements or contracts whatsoever
which may in any way, directly or in
directly, stipulate for a greater rate of
interest than 12 per cent per annum
shah be void as TO all interest therein
stipulated; but the principal sum OF
money or the value Of the contract may
bc recovered"
There are seven states besides Cali
fornia i'm which there is no restraint
upon usury by written agreement
They are Colorado. Maine, Massachu-
sctts, Montana, Nevada. Rhode Island
and Utah.

SAY WORLD WILL NEVER
STARVE FROM LACK OF FOOD
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-When scien-
fists read yesterday the Cabled report
of Sir William Crooke's discovery of
a commercial method of extracting
nitric acid from the atmosphere, they
said there was no longer a fear from
a scarcity of food from overpopulation
because the result of the discovery
would be a doubling of the world S
crops. Nitric acid adds greatly to the
productivity of the soil.
Nitrate of soda, used for that pur-
pose now has grown so scarce it is
said, that it will soon be exhausted.
At present the process of extracting
nitric acid from the air is expensive,
Prof. Charles F. Chandler, head of the
department of chemistry of Columbia
university explained, but said that
with the cheapening of electricity,
which is implied in the process nitric
acid manufactured by the new method
would be cheaper than nitrate of soda.
when practical working process
is perfected" said Prof. Chandler,
"every waterfall in the country will
be available for the production of the
atmospheric fertilizer.
Scientists have been working on
this problem for a hundred years, but
real headway has only been made re-

NEW JERSEY PEOPLE
PLAN BIG GATHERING

An important meeting OF the New
Jersey association OF Los Angeles will
be held at Blanchard hall Monday
night, when the annual election of Off
GERS will be held.
An interesting feature of the meeting
will be the roll call Of the counties Of
New Jersey, at which time the mem
bers present will recall little reminis-
cences of their former life in the state
across the Delaware. A musical pro-
gram will follow and refreshments will
also be provided.
The association is organized purely
along social lines for New Jersey peo-
pie who are at present living in Los
Angeles. Although 1t has been in ex-
istence only a short time, the society
is constantly increasing in membership.

Absence of laws directing what con-

WANTS MARRIAGE ANNULLED

Suit for annulment of marriage be-

Rollins married Miss Hahnemann in
Philadelphia when he was II years of
age and she was %. He is soon to come
into a large fortune from his grandfa-
ther in Philadelphia, and he wants the
marriage annulled. He alleges that his
wife deceived him by telling him that
she was a member of a wealthy family
when in fact, as he alleges she was
the daughter of a street laborer.
He further alleges that he was not OF
age and that the wedding could not be
held as good. His wife has been absent
from him for three years past.

INSANITY AS A CONVENIENCE

When q young debauchee of great
wealth commits cowardly act of as
sassination he is not amenable to the
charge Of murder. The case merely
involves an example Of psychological
eccentricity. That is the conclusion, at
least, to be drawn from the line Of de-
Tense that the counsel of Harry Thaw
will let UP, as reported from New
York.
The formidable group of lawyers and
alienlsts who are enlisted for the de-
fense Of the young assassin are said
to have outlined their case on this
basis: Thaw is not insane, but at the
time he committed the act of assassi-
nation "he was laboring under the in
fluence of mighty passion, inspired
by an all-sumcient cause, which tenn
porarily deprived him of his reason and
rendered him an irresponsible maniac"
According to that theory the subject
of temporary mental alteration may
commit murder without legal respon-
sibility for the crime and directly
thereafter resume his mental balance.
Inferentially he may soon have another
temporary" attack of like kind, incit-
ing him to another murder, with SINH
lar result
In these days of alienists and other
professed experts in mental phcnome-
ma the likelihood of conviction for
murder is remote in case the criminal
is a millionaire, backed by influential
friends, particularly the kind who are
Jealous in the interest of young Thaw
Old-fashioned murder trials are rare,
in fact, since the advent of science to
determine facts, as interpreted by pro-
fessional alenists and other "scien-
tifc gents"
In the most noticeable case on rec
ord in New York, paralleling in many
respects the Thaw case, the theory
set up by Thaw's counsel saved the
neck of the culprit. Edward Stokes,
the assassin of James Fisk, was de-
clared insane at the time of his crime.
He was sent to an insane asylum and
subsequently released as cured" That
seems likel.' to be the outcome of the
Thaw case.

FEAR FOR
THEIR EXISTENCE
BAN EXPECTED FOR SCHOOL
SOCIETIES
New Board Of Education Thought to
Be in Favor Of AbolIshina All
Secret Bodies Formed
by Students

The days of the high school fraterni-
ties in Los Angeles are numbered, and
the number does not exceed two fig
ures.
The question of abolishing secret So
cieties in the preparatory schools prob
ably will be taken UP by the board Of
education in the near future, and
present indications point to but one re-
sult-the abolition Of the societies.
The attitude OF last years high school
committee was adverse to the fraterni-
ties, but the question was not brought
up till near the close of the boards
term so il was held in allegiance, await
ing action by the incoming board
Fraternity men hoped that the new
board would be inclined to view their
case in a kindler light. but these hopes
were doomed to disappointment.
Roger Page, chairman of the high
school committee, by which body action
soon will be taken, expresses himself
as being in favor of acting favorably
on the recommendation of the princi-
pals and Director Moore, which is that
the societies be abolished.
