RIGHTS OF HUMANE SOCIETIES.

RIGHTS OF HUMANE SOCIETIES.
: Des Moines advices say that it is
expected that the decision of the
supreme court In which 1t was held
that the law is unconstitutional that
undertakes to give to police officer
the right to summarily dispose of a
domestic animal found to be UNIT for
use, will seriously affect the work Of
various humane societies in the state.
The court held that notice should
be given and an opportunity for a
hearing, and also that before property
belonging to another is destroyed there
must be some provision for compen-
sat1on to the extent Of whatever value
ts there. For years the officials Of the
various humane societies have exer-
cised very arbitrary power in regard
to these matters. Now they will have
no right different from that of an
individual who is not an officer.

The Hobo.

: D. 10.
He pays no rent, he pays no tax,
He buys no coal or ice.
He doesn't seem to worry when
He hasn't got the price.
He doesn't lie awake at night
And try to figure out 4
A way to meet his grocery bill
And never has the govt
He doesn't have to entertain,
Or go to parties that
He doesn't care a snap about
In some kind neighbours flat.
He doesn't have to worry
His clothes are not in style,
The weather is the question that
He doesn't think worth while.
He simply seeks another when
A climate doesn't suit.
He isn't interested in
A single blamed dispute.
He doesn't have to work at all,
And is a happy lad
To lead the genus hobo's life
Can't be so very bad.

They we're unable to see 1t, but
went off grumbling that they were de-
prived of their right, and were under

The Socialist Idea.

A recent issue OF the Peoria Star
says: THE other day we were waited
upon by delegation of socialists
from the neighboring city Of Canton.
They wanted space in the Star to adj
vocate their rights. We wanted to
know what their demands were, and
they said. 1--WE want the Parlin & Or
endorf Plow shops. We have seen
these shops in twenty years grow by
our labor from small establishment
into great industry. They have been
3built up by our work, and we insist
that we shall have their manage
ment" We replied: Very good, we
will turn them over to you tomorrow.
But the shops will need repairing and
rearranging for the coming seasons
trade 1t will take $4,000 to put
them in condition. Will you supply
their money!" they said: No. We've
no money; we've only our labor Then
we said VIII you labor for four
months for nothing, until this prelim-
mary work is done? No they said
I'VE want our wages every Saturday
night We replied: There is the
whole question at Issue. You want
your wages and at the end or THAI
time you want all the result OF the

somebody else has put into the con.

THE AVERAGE MAN.

THE AVERAGE MAN.
His face had the grimness OF granite:
1t was bleached and bronzed by the
SUM-
Like the coat on his poor narrow
shoulders;
And his hands showed the work he
had done.
His dim eyes were weary and patient;
And he smiled through the pallor
and tan
A wistful, sad smile, as If saying:
I'm only an yerage man.
Il can't be a hero or poet,
Nor dictator wearing crown;
I'm only Woodworking servant
OF those set above me- I'm down;
I'm down, and it's no use complain
ing;
I'll get on the best way can;
And one O. these days'll come morn.
ing
And rest for the average man.
He wages all battles and wins them,
He builds all turrets that tower
Over walls of the city to tell
OF the rulers and priests of the
hour.
Without him the general is helpless,
The earth but place and plan;
He moves all and clothes all and
feeds all,
This sad-smiling average man.
Then / lifted my hand in a promise,
With teeth set close, and my breath
Held hard in my throat; and uttered
A vow that shall outlive death.
swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan.
Henceforward be guerdon and glory
And hope for the average man.

How Thick should Alfalfa LIE So, IL
aa2

IL IL Cften recommended that al
falfa be seeded with twenty pounds
OF seed to the acre TO insure gooa
stand Of plants. yet experience OF
many farmers seems u show that
splendid results have been secured
form only seeding with ten to
twelve pounds OF good seed.
1t y very evident that u great
deal depends on how much OF the
seed terminates IN either case to
produce certain results. aud the
question Is how much seed would
give the best Yields OF hay. II dir
fersut rates OF seeding were test
ed in comparison under UNIFORM
conditions. In order to test this
point. e we'll - some others. ten
rates Of seeding alfalfa were made
At Rocky Ford. on the experiment
station.
The lishtest seeding wss two
pounds per acre and then an in
crease OF two pounds per acre up
to twenty pounds per acre. The
seed was sown under ideal condi-
tons. ON q field that was very
uniform In all points of growing
conditions.
The tests was made IN duplicate.
one series Of ten different rates
of seeding with common alfalfa and
another series Of ten plats of Bal.
tic alfalfa seeded at the same time
and in the same amounts per plat.
The test was seeded in 1912 and
the first year's records have been
completed on tour cuttings of hay
during 1919.
\ AS a progress report. the results
show that there 10 very little DIFF
ference in the amount Of hay in
terms of tons per acre. from the
differnt rates OF seeding. there
was some variation In the results
on the different crops. and the
records should be continued for
several years before the results
will conclude what rate has given
the best results.
The thin rates Of seeding made
coarser. more stemmy hay. while
the very thick seedlings gave very
fine leafy hay. almost too fine to
get the maximum yield Of hay.
The thin stands were more weedy
the first season. and also the sec
ond. while the thick seedlings were
almost free from weeds the second
year.
From Indications 1t seems as II
the plants seeded with eight to ten
pounds of seed per acre were the
best, all points considered.
The general statement seems safe
to say that IL conditions are good
for termination that ten to twelve
pounds Of good alfalfa seed should
give satisfactory results and II con-
ditions are not good. twenty to
even thirty pounds will not insure 9
stand.

A Society Event.

The coming of Mrs. Beecher Chautau-
qua week, is regarded in many cities as
a great society event. She is very prom
inent in society circles in the South, as
we'll as being America greatest woman
interpreter of literature.
Since the announcement that Mrs. Is
abel Garghill Beecher is to appear OIL
all Redpath Chautauqua programs this
summer, the suggestion has been made
in several towns that her appearance be
made society event or red letter day
among the literary or women's clubs.
Mrs. Beecher is not only Americas
greatest woman reader, but she is also
one of the best known society and liter
airy women of the Southland.
1t will not likely be possible for hel
to stand the physical strain of being en-
tertained at big society or literary
function at all of the ITO cities on the
Redpath Chautauqua circuit, in addi-
tion to her platform work, but, of course,
not all cities have society or literary or.
CARNATIONS or women's clubs sufficient.
ly strong to successfully conduct such
an event.
