GREEN MANURE IS VALUABLE
Increases Fertility and Water-Hold'ng
- Capacity and Brings Plant -s
Food to Surface. -r

1t is a weli-established fact that the
soils of the arid regions are as rule
deficient in organic matter. This de-
ficiency may be overcome to a certain:
extent by any of the three common.
methods Of adding organic matter to
the soil, which are as follows: Gay BY
green manures and crop residues; (b)
by accumulating in pasturing; (c) by
applications Of farm manures.
OF the methods mentioned, the first
is the most important and least prac-
ticed. It consists mainly In the grow
ing of crop which is plowed under
while 1t is green and succulent as It
decomposes most readily at that
stage. ...
Leguminous crops. such as alfalfa,
clover, field peas and vetches, are
usually recommended for green ma.
nures. They have the special power
Of obtaining their nitrogen from the
air through the agency of bacteria in
habiting tho tubercules on the roots.
The characteristic advantages OF
green manures to the soil are as fol
lows:
!. Increases It's fertility by thu
large amount of organic matter which
It acquires.
2. Increases its water-holding ca
| pacity.
3. Utilizes soluble plant food tha
would otherwise escape from the soil
4. Brings plant food from the low
| or soil to the surface soil.

1T is matter Of sound business
policy to require that all road
taxes be paid In cash. In the
past the collection Of labor for
road building has been compulsory
and the collection of money voluntary,
but experience has shown that this
system must be reversed. A tax which
is levied for the purpose Of developing
resources hitherto undeveloped, which
would add to the peoples
wealth, cannot be considered burden
in any respect. It is an investment.
AS to the methods Of raising money
for road building purposes. there are
two systems which have been employ
ed in different parts of the country,
both with considerable success. One
plan may be called the "pay as you go"
system. Under this plan a small an
nual tax Is levied, the proceeds OF
which may be used partly for the pur-
chase Of equipment and partly for ac-
tual work on the roads. This tax may
be increased slightly at intervals, but

ment this country Of ours would today

developed as the continent Of Africa.
81 When a community Is building pub
lie roads for. the use Of it's people all
of the money borrowed for this pur-
pose ia placed In circulation among the
people. They use it In their business
transactions; they make it earn an In
terest often worth far more to them
than the interest which the county
pays for the sum. In other words, the
county has the roads and the money
which has been spent upon them.
The whole structure Of our indus
trial and governmental fabric rests
upon the mechanism Of credit. The
amount Of legal tender actually in cir
culation in the United States In 1910
was only $34.52 per capita and would
be pitifully inadequate t0a meet the
demands of business II all transactions
were conducted on cash basis. The
building Of our great railroads, the
financing Of our war Of Independence
and subsequent conflicts have been
conducted through the powerful agen-
cy Of credit. Our entire banking sys-
tenn, involving 81, 1853, 1874 900, rests up
on the foundation stone Of credit.
Would it be wise to advise thrifty
young farmer to refrain from buying a
farm because he had not the entire
purchase price in cash? Would it have
ever been possible for the vast do
mains Of the early landed proprietors
! to be divided up into small farms If
the practice Of partial payments had
not been introduced?
! It is evident that the construction OF
a large mileage of improved roads at
one time would result in lower cost
per mile than If the roads were built

Senator ShlVely

Benjamin P. Shively, United States
senator from Indiana, was born in
St. Joseph county, Indiana, March
20, 1857. His early experiences
were those of the average farm boy
until as a youth he entered the In
diana, Normal School. After being
graduated from that institution he
taught school from 1875 to 1880.
Then he settled in South Bend, where
he conducted a newspaper and took
an active interest in politics. At the
age of twenty-seven he was elected
to. Congress by the Democrats, and
was the youngest member OF the
House when he took his seat. After
serving one term he retired to take
up the study of law. Immediately
after completing the law course at
the University Of Michigan Mr.
Shively again was elected to Con
gress and served three successive
terms. In 1892 he resumed the
practice of law in South Bend. In
1909 he was called from his retire
ment by the Democratic party Of. his
State and was elected to the Un1tee
States senate.

they desire. Now is his opportunity
and opportunity of all the mine own
ers to realize that desire. 1t does
not matter to me whether the miners
select as their representatives any Of
ficlal of the federation, whether they
select me or any other man, whether
he is employed or not employed in
any capacity at the mines. We are
willing, too, that the mine owners
be represented by whomsoever they
choose. Let the miners, the striking
employees and the employers settle 1t

NOTICE PUBLISHED IN THE
WHITE PINE NEWS IN 1886

A case which has been in the local
courts since August 10th, 1886, was
completed yesterday, when a decree
was granted of settlement of ac-
count and distribution OF the estate
OF James Liddle, deceased. Margar-
ct A. Liddle, wife of the deceased, !,
was also granted decree of final dis
charge as Administrative of the es-
tate of her late husband. Liddle
died May Is, 1886, and action for a
legal settlement was started the Aug
ust following. Tie delay, which has
covered a period of twenty-six years,
was occasioned by the inability to
locate certain lands belonging to the
estate, the titles on some of which
are yet improved. By the terms of
the distribution, onethird of the un-
known property goes to the widow
of the deceased and one-thlrd to each
of the two children.
Notice to creditors of the estate
was published in the White Pine
News from the 2Sth of August. 1886,
to the 23rd day of October, 1886,
inclusive. and an affidavit of publi-
cation on the dates named was re-
Gently certified to by the present

(Signed by large majority of the
operating men,
The crisis was reached Tuesday
night, in an order for a strike issued
by Chas. H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners; A. l..
Wilde, business representative of
the Associated Union of Steam Shovel
Workers, and Charles F. Nicholson.
third vice president of the Machin-
lists International union.
The strike at Ely went into
effect at o'clock. Wednesday morn
ing. when all the employees in and
about the mines, refused to go to
work. Involved we're the shovel men
at Copper Flat, and the operatives at
/ the Giroux and Veteran mines. The
strike went into effect in an orderly
manner, and from its inception to
the present time there has been no
disturbance nor trouble of a serious
nature.
Following the tie up at the mines,
the company paid off the men and
made preparations for permanently
closing up the plants. By the strike
ediet, the Veteran, which has been
in operation less than year, after
three years shut down from labor
troubles, is again idle, and it is pre-
dicted that the mine will never be
opened again.
At the Giroux, President Moyel
refused to allow the company to keep
the pumps in operation, and the
workings are filling with water
While this may not result in serious
damage to the property, 1t will in
