Atsike Glover.

1t is seldom that we read any thing
more to the point than which Mr.. Alva
Agee has to say of alsike, in the National
Stockman and Farmer, as a forage plant
for farmers. He certainly can not be
accused of booming the plant in order to
help the bees. In answer to a correspond
ent he says:
"Alsike clover is sown with wheat or
rye or is seeded alone, like medium red
clover. The seeds are about half as
large as those of red clover, and there
fore half the quantity per acre is suffi-
cient. However, l doubt whether you
want to seed to alsike unmixed, as 1T in
clines to lie close to the ground, having
more of the creeping habit than the
common red, Moreover, its roots do not
penetrate the soil as deeply as is desira-
BILE in fertilizing plant. These are Its
two weak points. On the other hand, it
is surer to make a stand than the red
it lasts longer in pasture and meadow,
and it ripens more nearly with timothy.
For many years our paper has urged the
mixing of alsike with medium red for all
land inclined to be unfriendly to clover.
Alsike is pretty sure and dependable on
any kind of land, and especially is 1T
superior to the red on wet land. 1t
makes fine hay, but it yields less than
the medium red. For pasture it is our
most valuable clover"

An edict has gone forth from Wash
ington, requiring all postoffices to bear
a suitable sign, which shall show the
names of the city or town, or the offl-
cially designated name of the office.
This movement is to serve the double
purpose of enabling the travelling pub
lie to find the postoffices along their
journeys from place to place and to learn
in what city or town they are as well.
1t is earnestly hoped for the benefit of
the tourists that the signs will be larger
than hat-band and not be so placed
upon the fronts of cross-road postoffces
that they will be eclipsed by the auction
bills and Goldfish signs that invariably at
such places seem to have the preference
for publicity.

1t is to be hoped that subscribers who
receive a request to pay up will take no
offense, as the present ruling of the
Postoffice Department makes 1t obliga-
tory for newspapers to get their delin-
quents into line. This paper as well as
most others, has in the past allowed
credit on its list, knowing that by far
the greater part of the subscribers failed
to settle more from inadvertence or neg
lect, than from any disposition to refuse
to pay. But it is borne in upon the pub
fishers that the law must be obeyed,
whether it is agreeable or not 1t Is
earnestly desired that subscribers will
cooperate with the paper, as it is, like
any other local institution, dependent
upon substantial patronage for it's ex.
istence. In the long run the subscribers,
as well as the public, will be benefited by
the law, which is intended to work for
the good of all concerned.

has appeared in nearly all of the great

in any of his sensational undertakings.
He has invented several new stunts. his
most startling of which consists of being
confined in mammoth can filled with
water, necessitating his being submerged
before the cover can be locked on. 1t Is
the most marvellous feat he has ever
performed. He will be open to accept a
number of challenge tests during his
stay, which will he for two weeks only.

The Rutland Herald states that "the
solution of all problems between horse
men and automobilists is being reached
through mutual forbearance and live
and-let-live' policy that promises to find
room on our beautiful highways for every
conveyance that has made good its legal
rights" This is prettily set forth. But
until the autoists manifest more of this
'live-and-let-live' policy. their legal
right to defile the atmosphere, endan-
ger our lives and ruin our roads is likely
to be more or less disputed.

A Brave Rriton.

When the attack was made on Sidon,
during the war with Syria. it became
necessary for the British troops to ad-
vance across long, unprotected
bridge in the face of battery of six
guns. which completely commanded the
approach. The men were unwilling to
expose themselves to certain death,
when Arthur Cumming, carefully dress
ed in full uniform, stepped forward to
the middle Of the bridge 1t was i'm
mediately swept by the fire of the bat
terry. When the smoke had rolled
away, there stood Cumming intact,
carefully brushing the dust from his
boots. after which he stood erect, fixed
single glass in his eye and looked
back at the men. This was too much,
and they captured that bridge and bat
terry with whoop.

WOMEN AT FORTY
IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING
THE HEALTH AT THAT TIME.
Proof OF One Case In Which a Weak
Nervous and Discoureeed Woman
Was MarveIously Helped by the
Tonic Treatment.

Women approach their fortieth year
with worry and uncertainty, for the
manner in which they pass that crisis de-
termines the health of their after-life.
During this most important time in the
life Of woman ,.her whole aim should be
to build up and strengthen her system
to meet the unusual demands upon it.
Devotion to family should not lead to
neglect of self but hard work and house
hold cares and worries should be avoided
as far as possible. Whether she is able
to do this or not, no woman should fail
to take the tonic treatment if she is
entering this critical period in weak,
rundown and nervous condition.
Mrs. Martha Dennis, Of 1923 West

owes her health to this treatment, says

Cooperation Requested =.

For many years past the wool mer-
chants of the United States have made
Intellectual efforts to induce the wool
growers to improve their methods in
preparing wool for market. One of the
principal abuses is the tying up of tleeces
with sisal Irvine, or so-called binder cord.
The loose fibre from the Irvine clings to
the wool through all the processes of
manufacture and causes imperfect goods
with consequent loss.
We believe if this serious matter is
called to the attention of growers they
will cooperate with the dealers and dis
continue the practice of tying their wool
with such Irvine az described, thereby
putting American woods in closer eompe-
tition with those of foreign countries.
We, the undersigned, hereby agree to
at once notify all our correspondents and
buyers in the fleece wool section that we
shall not accept wool tied with sisal
Irvine nor wool that is tied with an un-
due amount of string, as merchantable.
THE foregoing is signed by all the
wool dealers in Boston, Philadelphia and
Troy.

that he will not again be candidate for
the Craftsmanship of the Republican State
committee Col. Chapman has always
rendered notable service for the party,
and particularly so in the past four years
that he has acted at the head of the COM

a sprightliness that many man a score
of years younger can well envy. On ac-
count of his private interests he does not
feel that he can devote the necessary
time to the duties of chairman of the

pected that he will keep his position on
the executive committee, which position
he has held for seventeen consecutive
years.

Hart Mckee belongs to the circle OF

his first wife, according to society's

For the law to set her free from the

being a woman, loving, steadfast

silent, heart-wringing message may
reach across oceans and continents
and find a repentant man.
And who but Floretta Whaley will
pay the terrible price OF his fall and
repentance?
