these scientific Investigations have as well
led to the discovery that. of the two inter-
ested sexes, the female is the rank abettor;
the one that through her tremendous power
of fascination and cool, calculating ways,
leads the poor victim to become utterly OBJ
livious to the demands of his position as
serious minded and thinking person. The
very fact that this man in the feverish pros
ecution of his suit allowed himself to i'm
agine that he was earning salary large
enough to enable him to endow the object
of his passions with the degree of luxury to
which her beauty and other accomplish
ments entitled her, is proof sufficient that
his affections were not to be questioned.
Under the circumstances, the Court is
moved to deny plaintiffs petition, and,
further moved and impressed by this sing
ular demonstration of sincere affections on
the part of defendent, suggests that the
plaintiff should reconsider her personal at
titude towards defendent''

Anyone who has been watching pub

elsewhere cannot help but notice the
vast difference between the favorable
acceptance of the saloon in the past
and the federation with which it is
permitted to operate at the present
Not many years ago when the saloons
were closed in Iowa 1t was accompan-
led with rioting and loud condemna-
ton from all quarters. Saturday even
ing, when the saloons in Des Moines,
the largest city in Iowa, were closed
within an hour by a decision of the
state supreme court, there was hardly
a murmur. No rioting occurred, and
the closing of the saloons caused hard
ly a ripple upon the lawful repose OF
the capital city. Sunday morning there
was a great difference. The average
number. Of old soaks and Saturday
night celebrators rounded up by the
Des Moines police force on the Sab
bath morning is between forty and
fifty. The Sunday following the clos.
ing OF the saloons in Des Moinee -

good seed when properly cleaned.
But" he adde's, IF Mr.. Patterson
chooses to send put common alfalfa
seed in active competition with the
South Dakota seedsmen, at the ex.
pense of the business men of Aber-
deem, he should compete fairly and not
make claims which no scotsman has
ever yet made. This seed has been
bought in the same region where the
South Dakota seedsmen have been
buying, but the seedsmen have been
and are dealing fairly with the public
by selling it on its merits.
As far as the Siberian alfalfas are
concerned, which | first brought over
in 1906, seven years ago, seedsmen
have in general respected my research
and introduction work in this matter,
since they understand they were in
tended mainly for the millions of acres
of high uplands in all u western
states where no irrigation is possible
and where the general experience with
common alfalfa is ~unfavorable. That
is, the Siberian a~lfalfas are intended
to supplement and not to supplant
these common alfalfas. For the other
sections | have many times stated
from the very beginning that where
the common alfalfa does well to Let
well enough alone There Is a good
! rce for every mound of alfalfa seed
raised in South Dakota the past season
but those wishing to compete with u
worthy South Dakota seedsmen should
sell the seed on it's merits"
Prof. Hansen calls attention to an
article in the December LIST issue of
the Dakota Farmer written by asso-
ciate editor NJ. f. Greeley, in which he
discusses his travels in the high dry
lands of western Kansas and Nebraska
a follows: Along the streams and
on much of the low and valley lands
We IbuIu Soou diidiih III dbhiuohtS,
but for long distances on the higher
drier levels, it was etirely absent. One
farmer, a Mr.. Abbott, who owns sew
eral large farms, told us that while he
grew enormous quantities of alfalfa
on nearly all his low or bottom lands,
it was so uncertain on high land with
hard subsoils that on two of his farms
he had wholly abandoned trying to
grow il, badly as he wished to-"
This is a fair statement" says
Prof. Hansen, "of the general condi-
ton in all of our western states. How
ever, alfalfa seed can be raised on
land too dry for profitable crops of
alfalfa hay, but this seed can be
marketed to advantage in the vast
region further east with climate too
moist for raising alfalfa seed but favor
able to heavy crops of alfalfa hay"
