CLOVER SEEDING LOST.

The clover and grass seed sown this
spring in wheat, rye, and other grain
has been parched up and killed, either
wholly or in part on thousands Of fields
in the central western and northern
states. This is a serious situation and
calls for prompt attention, says a bull
letin issued by the federal department
Of agriculture. If the clover is not re-
planted it means no clover hay next
season and the planting of some sub
stitute crop for hay next spring at con-
siderably increased expense will pro-
baby be necessary. Not only that
but the failure of the clover crop means
the loss Of the green manuring crop
in the rotation and a disarrangement
of the whole farm plan of crop rota-
ton. The situation should be met at
once. Every piece of new seeding
should be examined and, If it has been
burned up, steps taken to replant it at
once.
One of the best ways known to get
a stand of clover is to disk the stubble
field as soon as the grain is off, allow
ing the disk to run about three inches
deep and working the stubble into the
soil. The disking and cross diskins
should be sufficient to clean it Of weeds
and grass and put the top three inches
of soil in fine filth. Keep the ground
cultivated until the first soaking rain
then SOW about ten pounds Of clover
seed mixed with to pounds of tim
othy per acre and harrow the seed in.
still better way than narrowing is
to sow the grass seed with a grain
drill, letting the seed run down this
grain tubes from the grass seed box and
covering the seed from Il to ~ inches
deep.
BY sowing clover and grass seed
alone in this manner. without a nurse

vigorous growth than when sown witt

UNION OF CHURCHES

The union of Christianity is one of
those dreams which are good to strive
for though its realization is not with
In the range of probability. It could
not be effected except upon the basis
OF a creed so broad that no denomlna-
uon would be required to abandon its
peculiar tenets and that each could re-
tain a large part Of it's separate il6f-
Vldual1ty. There would come the diff
Guilty, for each sect would regard some
doctrine of its own as essential to the
common creed and some would insist on
a closer union in government than 9TH
ers would endure
Great liberty of action and thought
would be necessary in order to prevent
church union from producing stagna-
ton similar to that of the middle ages.
AT that time, when the church was
most nearly united, it was most cor
rupt and vicious. Reformation, which
began disunion, did more than teach
new doctrines or revive old and forgot
ten ones; it taught right living.
Freedom of thought is essential to
progress 1t has produced many men
who were called heretics, but they have
been hailed as the religious leaders of
the next generation. If the churches
should unite. they should leave room for
the heretics, or they will drive out the

FROM OTHER PENS

THE WOMAN AND THE TROUSERS.
A certain DR.. Maude Glasgow of New
York. who, as her name suggests, is a

trousers for skirts
She points to the fact that mothers
are dressing their daughters in bloom
ers and that the women are wearing
divided skirts on the streets.
Well, I'VE shall see what we shall
see"
1t is reasonable to suppose, however,
that the women who dress for beauty
rather than for utility will continue to
rule the fashion. Many years ago our
forefathers dressed in a style that
would be utterly out of reason when
modern conditions are considered. I'm =
agine man working in a modern office
in plum colored clothes and lace
around his wrists
After all, it seems reasonable that
there ought to be some kind OF line
OF demarcation between the sexes in
the matter of dress. If we are to be
confronted by q race of women wearing
trousers ind box coats let us die.
Inere Is no question of modeSty in
vowed. as DR.. Glasgow suggests, but
there is a question of looks, and that
goes long way with the modern man
as 1t did with the ancient man.

Dress to please him.-Galena Times.

THE LITTLE HURTS.

Every night sch runs to me
With bandaged arm or a bandaged
knee;
A stone bruised shin or q swollen brow
And in sorrowful tones she tells me how
She fell and hurried herself today
While she was having the bestest
play
And 7 take her up in my arms and kiss
The new little wounds and whisper this:
"Oh, you must be careful my little one,
You mustn't get hurt while your daddy
gone,
For every cut with its ache and smart
Leaves another bruise an your daddy's
heart"
Every night I must stocp to see
The fresh little cuts on her arms or
The little hurts that have married her
play,
And brought the tears on a happy day;
For the path OF childhood is oft beset
With care and trouble and things that
fret.
Oh. little girl, when you older grow,
Far greater hurts than these you'n know;
Greater bruises Will bring You tears,
Around the bend on the lane OF years.
But come to your daddy with them at
night
And hen do his best to make all things
right.

practice of spring seeding with grain
because of frequent failure to catch
and seeding alone after the grain is
cut instead. By this method clover
and grass seed may be sown in the
central and western states as late as
September Is. and still make a good
stand that will not winter kill, but in
the extreme northern States the seed
ing should not be made later than
August Is.
To summarize, grass seedlings in
spring grain have been burned out on
thousands OF farms. Replant now by
disking the stubble about three inches
deep and sowing clover and grass seed
alone without nurse crop by August
Is.

chinese in the Philippines.

The Chinese merchants in the
Philippines form the greater portion
Of the import market and are in a
still greater degree the collectors of
our exports. Their business ramifica-
tons are without equal. The Manila
houses distribute and collect to and
from others in the provincial ports,
which in turn spread and gather from
the various towns where Chinese
depots are in touch with the stores in
the barrios through which small Fill
Pine "tiendas" and individuals sellers
and buyers are reached. In this re-
spect they are the very backbone of
the merchant community and the
standby of Philippine trade. AS a dis
tributing medium they are content
with very small profit, and when one
considers the very reasonable figure
asked for the commodities of life by
the little village or barrio "tiendas'' it
will be seen how small must neces-
sarily be the profits Of the three or
four middlemen. OF course, many Of
the large import and export bodegas IN
Manila are owned by American and
European firms as we'll as by Chinese,
but the medium of collection and dis
tribution is primarily through the Chi
nese Observation-Disclosures Monthly.

River Is Swallowing Town.

st. Defoin, one of the oldest settle
ments in Nebraska, and once an TN
portant landing for Missouri river
boats, is meeting the fate of many
older settlements along the river.
Slowly the river is gnawing its way
into the heart of the town, and soon
little of the original site will be left.
Some buildings have gone into the
river, while it has been necessary to
move others back to keep them from
falling into the water. A brick school
house, built more than 40 years ago,
is within few feet of the bank, but
has been blocked up and will be moved
back out of danger.
