PRESIDENT MELLEN'S VIEWS

The views expressed by President Mellen of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford railroad company on the Public Utilities Commission to regulate public service corporations, which appears elsewhere in the NEWS, out line features of the problem in manner net generally understood by the public. As over 90, 900 of the railroad company s stock holders, hold less than 50 shares apiece he is att loss to know at just what target public clamor is aimed; whether
 against stockholders, directors or company officials. He announces his approval of any legislation made to remedy real or threatened abuse but is ignorant of such condition existing.
 The NEWS suggests a careful read ing of President Mellen's argument as it casts some side lights upon topic of present wide spread interest.

A LEGEND PERSONIFIED

According to recent revelations, mysterious titan haired W woman was the undoing of F. Augustus Heinze, the copper magnate, whose secret confidence she beytrayed to the Standard Oil crowd, his willy opponents in whose ln- terest the red headed woman is said by Thomas Lawson to have been employed, and whose identity is still kept secret.
 Heinze is not the only man who owes his financial downfall to handsome woman. There is an old Algerian legend which says that in the beginning the world was peopled only by women. One day the earth god, Ambassi Mai, happened by accident to kill a woman. On hearing this the rest gathered and prayed that, if he meant to slay them, he would bring destruction on all to- gethsr rather than kill them one by one.
 Ambassi was sorry for the grief he had caused and offered as compensation to give them anything they should choose out of all his possessions.
 They begged him to mention what he had to give and said that they would all cry 1'yes" when he named the thing they wished to have.
 Ambassi mentioned one by one all his fruits, fowls and beasts, but at each they shouted ''no." At length the list was nearly ended. Only one thing re- mained to offer.
 "Will you then take man?" asked Ambassi at last. ."
 "Yes p they roared in 8 great shout, and catching hold of one another, danced for joy at the thought of the. gift Ambassi was sending.
 Thus mon became, according to the legend, the servants of women and have to work for them to this day, Heinze having killed the love of one woman Mrs Lillian Hobart French, who claims several years fidelity to him, was made the plaything of another and his wealth wrestled from him. now engaged to al actress and Mrs French threatens legal measures. Does not Heinze seemingly typify the embodiment of Ambassi'i gift to women? .. ...<

One Type of Woman.

There is one type of woman whose thought of self is almost heroic. She is the one who, seeing a long line of persons waiting at a window, goes up to the head of the line and edges her way in. I have sometimes asked such women. if they would like the right of suffrage, and they have said they would not, so 1t does not always indi- cate "strong mind." But think how easily such a woman could vote, even though the polls were crowded. She would seize a ballot, brush aside the mere men who were in her way and, marching into the booth, deposit her vote-as inevitable as the sunrise or sunset or any of the phenomena of nature.-Smith's Magazine.

Why He Couldn't Pay.

He was a switchman in a small town up state. When it came time to pay his board bill the first week he complained that work had been scarce and he had not been able to save enough. So his landlady, not with any too good grace, agreed to wait.
 It was the same the next week, and the landlady, still hoping. kept him. The third week she felt he had had every chance, and she was determined to get at least some of her money. She stated her request.
 "Well, I did get some work this week." he admitted, "but 1t was most ly switching empty cars, and we don't get anything for switching empties."- New York Herald.

Pointers on Alfalfa Growing.
+. p. ROBBINS

Bruce Odell of Cadillac. Wexford
County, Western Michigan, is having
exceptional success in raising alfalfa.
He has been experimenting with this
form of vegetation for eight years and
has mastered the art Of securing pro-
titable crops. He offers the following
suggestions to those who wish to grow
alfalfa.
Select a well tiled, well MANFRED
piece Of land, free from weeds and
June grass, put on about all the man
ure you can pillow under, pillow it in the
the fall, put on lime and drag it in.
Don't be sparing with the manure or
lime as you are not preparing for one
crop but ten. twenty, thirty, or more
an will get the expense back with
every crop after it gets started.
DJn't pillow the land again in the
Spring but as soon as it Will do To
work disk aud drag it thoroughly
about every ten days until about June
first. BY that time you would have
killed all weeds and have your land in
the very best condition for seeding
From the twentY-hfth Of May TO
the tenth Of June is the best time TO
sow alfalfa in this climate but if the
season is favorable it may be sown as
late as the fifteenth Of August, but
there are many failures from late
sowing and no chance Of getting a
crop the first year, while if sown
about June first, crop OF one-half
ton to one ton per acre may be cut
the first year.
1T Is best to SOW the seed broad
cast and then thoroughly drag in.
AS alfalfa does not thicken up it is
necessary TO have good even stand
and therefore 1t Is best To SOW half of
the seed one way Of the field and SOW
the other half crosswise Of the first
sowing. Use from twelve to twenty
pounds of seed depending on the quail
ity and the kind Of soil. Use more
seed on light sandy land than on rich
loan or clay.
Immediately after sowing the seed
aud dragging it in sow broadcast on
the land at least fine hundred pounds
per acre OF dirt from an old alfalfa
field, the longer the field from which
the dirt is taken has been ia alfalfa
the better. and immedia ely after the
dirt is sOwn drag the land thoroughly.
If this dirt can be sown on cloudy
day or late in the afternoon it is bet
ter as this dirt carries the nitrogen
producing bacteria that works on al
falfa and without whichit cannot be
successfully grown and, If exposed to
sunlight, the bacteria in the dirt is
liable TO be killed. a small amount
of this dirt from an old alfalfa field
will uocuate the soil Of a new field
II properly applied.
