sIIass From Forage Plants.

Besides corn, excellent silage may
be made from alfalfa, clover, oats and
peas, rye, sorghum. kafiir-corn, millet
and milo maize. While corn is the
principal crop for silage, 1t il often
found advisable to make silage from
other plants, especially during drouth
seasons. when excellent sorghum and
kafnr-corn can be grown as a catch
up. The first cutting Of alfalfa hay
during wet season is often lost. This
could be put In the silo and saved. and
by feeding out during the summer
months. the silo can be refilled in the
tall with corn and kafir-corn.

the tornado that swept five states
Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and

hundreds are injured. many of them
so seriously that they will die.
The property loss in the five states

Omaha, March 25.-More than 200
persons were killed and 400 were in
jured in the wind storm that demol-
ished $50 homes, damaged hundreds
OF other buildings and caused a mon.
etary loss of $5,OOO,OO0.
Most Of the casualties were in Omu-
ha, which was stricken as never be-
fore. Nearby towns in Nebraska and
across the Missouri river in Iowa also
suffered severely.
Wires were snapped off in all li-
rections and it took many hours to
gather and circulate the news of the
disaster.
Fire broke out in the debris of many
wrecked buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis and these were menaces
for some time, as the fire companies
were hindered by fallen walls and
blockaded streets. A heavy rain fol-
lowed the wind, however. and 1t
drenched the hundreds of homeless
persons, but 1t also put out the
flames.

End to the Session of Illinois
Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 9.-The
session of the house came near an
abrupt end today before it had well
started because Representative
George Fitch, of Peoria, progressive,
objected to the fact that the speaker
held up the anti-pass bill.
The bill was passed by the senate
April 80. Since then it has remained
on the speakers desk without being
referred to committee Fitch today
declared that unless the bill was sent
to committee at once he would raise
question of no quorum, as there
were only forty members present.
The raising of the question would
have put sudden stop TO legislation.
There was immediate and loud
voiced protest. John NJ. Rapp. who

The People Must Help.

Sioux City News:-You can't make
men good by passing laws. No law
will make man temperate in his
eating, his smoking or in his drink
ing. Something more is required than
a mere statute. 1t is the will, the de-
sire of the man to comply with the
letter and the spirit of the law.
And it is likewise SO Of cities. Mu-
inequalities are made up of men.
They have, in many ways, the
strength and the weakness of men.
1t is well to remember this when
planning for municipal reform.
Neither the commission government
Plan, the federal plan nor any other
patented scheme of government will
Of itself automatically make cities
better.
You can't adopt a new charter and
then sit back supinely and expect a
revolution to occur No matter what
form Of government a city has, two
things are imperatively necessary in
order to bring about reforms:
Good men, honest men must be
chosen to Office, and the whole citi-
zenship must watch closely the ac-
tions Of their officials and bring upon
them the full force of an active, wide.
