Senators Martin and Swan
son, Will, it is Said, Con-
troll The Same.
TO BE NO ANTAGONIST


| The Virginia senators made theil
recommendation for the appoint
menr Of Peyton st. Clair, of the
Ninth District, for collector of inter.
nal revenue for the Western district
r. c. l.. Moncure, of Spotsylvania
/ for collector Of the Eastern district
and Norman Hamilton, of Norfolk
for customs collector for the Virginia
district, on the last day Of October
and although no authoritative state
ment has been made either by the
senators or Secretary Of the Treasury
McAaoo regarding the measure of
approval with which their recommen-
dations were received, enough has
been lcarnei and to form fairly
definite idea Of the prospects of their
appointment.
All questions OF whether the ZAP
pointive powers" will accept the rec
concentrations of the senators, rep
rescnting the whole State of Vir-
ginia. or that Of some of the con-
gressmen. representing certain dis
,tricts in the state and the laa:;erS of
the anti party machine fac
.ticn, has been set partly at rest by
the promise given Senators Martin
and Swanson hy Secretary McAdoo
that neither he nor President Wilson
would appoint any man to the col
lectors' positions who is Objectionable
TO the senators.
If either of the three men named
by the senators are found by Secre-
ta1y McAGoo TO be objectionable for
any reason, it is learned, they were
told, the department will ask them to
suggest someone else, or itself sug-
gest someone for the approval Of the
senators. For the department to
heed the wishes of some of the con-
grcsSmen and nominate men object
ionable to the senators would be the
height of folly, as the nominees must
be confirmed by the senate before
they take Office, and as long as they
were persona non grata with the SEN
atorS they could never be appointed.
But President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo in making the many ap-
pointmentS so far have shown they
have no %esire to antagonize the
senators. but have in every instance
named men of their choice. Many Of
those named have been far from the
wishes of some congressman vitaily
interested.
So the matter seems to resolve IT.
self into a question of whether those
aamed by the senators are for any
treason objectionable to the President

VALUE OF ALFALFA.
Excels Bran as Milk Producer and
Corn for Fattening Hogs.

One morning recently an educational
automobile train started ont from
Grand Rapids to make a farm-to-
farm campaign in Kent county to tell
every farmer that alfalfa is the most
remarkable forage crop and soil en-
richer known to man, and to show
them in their own fields the exact meth
DDS to be followed to meet local con
ditions, says the August Popular Me
ehanics Magazine, in an illustrated
article.
The intention of the agricultural ex-
tension department of the Internation-
al Harvester company, which has the
campaign in hand, is to make alfalfa
IS well and favorably known east of
the Mississippi as it is now in Mon
tana, Kansas and other western states
After the campaign in Kent county,
the automobile train visited corn-belt
counties in Michigan, Ohio, and Hi
nOis. 1t was shown throughout the
trip that on the typical sand and clay
loans east of the Mississippi alfalfa
could be raised, yielding three crops
n season and averaging from four to
five tons to the acre; that it could be
grown at cost less than So a ton,
and yet excel in feeding value, as a
milk producer, wheat bran costing over
$50 a ton; that it was twice as cheap
as corn in putting fat on hogs, and
yielded over twice as much per acre as
either red clover or timothy.

Dishes For Refrigerator Use.

An efficient housewife recently said
she always uses separate dishes for
the laying away of food in the icebox.
White enameled small bowls and plates
are used and give the icebox much
heater appearance than a mixed army
of bowls and platters. More important,
she finds that it is bad habit to use
good dishes in the icebox, as they so
frequently become Clipped from over
tapping or crowding.
When she wanted to use her cake
bowl, for example, she said, she al
ways found it full of apple sauce or
something and so lost time emptying
it. SO she decided to keep these sepa-
rate white enamel pieces just for lay
away use
