CRISP WOULD STOP PAIRING

and without regard for making a
quorum.
Mr.. Crisp has been paired with a
representative from Maine for near
ly this whole session, Mr.. Hines, as
well as Mr.. Crisp, having been for
mer parliamentarian of the house.
Mr.. Crisp will push his resolution
and has the support of many mem
bers in his efforts to have it pass.
The resolutions read: Whereas,
it is difficult at times to maintain a
quorum of the house of representa-
tives, and whereas clause 2 of rule
recognizes and authorizes pairs be-
tween members, and whereas when
members are paired they feel more
or less at liberty to be absent from
the sittings of the house;
Therefore, resolved by the house
of representatives that clause 2 of
rule be and the same is hereby re-
pealed, and from henceforth pairs
shall not be entered into between
members of the houes, nor shall pairs
be published in the Record.

WOMEN SMOKE, SWEAR, DRINK
Very Commonplace Now, Says Mrs.
KeefeP on the Witness Stand.
Gets No AIimOny.

ATLANTA.-Mrs. Grace Macy
Keefer, who has become well known
in Atlanta as the result of her mar
ital troubles with her husband, Da~
vid H. Keefer, from whom she has
been separated for some time, was
refused alimony by Judge George H.
Bell in the superior court today.
She claimed at one time that she
had left Keefer because he was too
fond of the New York Great White
Way. She admitted on the witness
stand today that she swears, smokes
and drinks. She says Keefer taught
her to smoke cigarettes when they
were living together She always had
wine on her table, she states, but de-
MED that she was ever intoxicated,
except when her husband brought
home cocktails that were 'doped.
AS for swearing, she declared it is
very commonplace and that every
body does it. She was asking for
$3.50 a month and $4,000 as perma-
nent alimony, claiming she had moth
ing to live on.
Property which she was known to
have had, and which brings in rents
of $2,250 a year, she asserted, she
had decided to her sister to be held
for her daughters education. The
court held that she was not entitled
either to alimony or attorneys fees.
1t is stated that the case will proba-
bly, be appealed.

WAS NAUGHTY, BUT CUTE
JOY RIDER IN HER NIGHTIE AT.
TRACTED SOME ATTENTION.
She Wasn't Lost, But Was Only
Pooling Papa, Who Wouldn't
Take Her AutOing.

A Chicago dispatch to the New
York Void tells how a real joy ride
was experienced by Miss Margaret
Newman. She apparently was sleep
ing when her father, William ]. New
man, a contractor, brought his car
to the front door of the home.
Miss Newman is 4 years old While
father and mother were talking the
child, clad in a pink nightie, sprang
out of bed end, wrapping a blanket
around her, hid under the rear seat
of the auto.
Mr.. Newman had several business
calls to make. When he left his car
his daughter stood up on the rear
seat and, waving to passersby, soon
had a crowd about her to which she
described how she enjoyed the ride.
She then would crawl under the seat
before her father returned. He was
surprised by the crowd and the grins,
but no one told him of the passen-
ger.
1t was not until Mr.. Newman ar
rived at his office that he discovered
her. He jumped down and went into
the Office to learn that his wife had
been on the telephone half an hour
trying to get him.
Margaret is lost" she yelled. Il
have looked everywhere and cannot
find trace of her. What shall |
do?"
Mr.. Newman remembered the I'M
usual attention attracted by his ma
chine during his two hours of riding
about the city.
wait lust a minute" he said.
He stepped softly to the door and
beheld strange sight. There on
the rear seat stood his child, holding
converse with several scores of per-
sons.
MY papa wouldn't take me riding
with him." she was saying, $50 |
went anyhow. l fooled him, all right.
I've had a fine ride and seen lots
of people. 1 guess I'd better hide
now, or he'll see me-"
But she was too late this time.
A pair of strong arms were thrown
around her.
"You didn't know I was here, did
you papa?" she said.
Mr. Newman stepped to the phone.
I've got her, he said. Il am
bringing her right home. She
slipped it over me that time, all
right"

NEGLECTED. LAND.
About 100000 Acres in Six East
ern States Abandoned.

Figures in the last census show
that in six eastern states about g.
100000 acres of land were not under
cultivation in 1910 as farm lands
that were under cultivation in 1900.
While this is offset by an increase
of about 100000 acres in farmed
area of the central west and proba-
bly, by double as much increase in
the Pacific coast states and Texas
yet the fact that apparently 3,00O,-
900 acres in the eastern region that
extends from Maryland to Massachu-
sets are abandoned is occasion for a
thoughtful search into cause.
There is small reason to doubt that
intensive farming has had consider
able to do with this decrease in the
farmed acreage in the east. The
modern farmer has found that better
results can be obtained from 20 acres
highly fortified and properly farmeo
than from so acres of impoverished
land not restored by artificial fertil-
izers.

Alfalfa as a political issue and an
Apostle of Alfalfa are phases in the
culture of what is now seen to be one
of the most important plants Amer
lea can raise. They go far toward
making what may be termed the ro-
nance of this forage.
That alfalfa was actually the issue
of which many members were elected
to the legislature of South Dakota is
no exaggeration; that Prof. Neils E.
Hansen is the devoted apostle of al
falfa cannot be gainsaid after the
four trips that pioneer plant explor-
er has made to Siberia in search of
new varieties, though enough to
withstand the winters on the cold
Dakotan prairies.
This is all hard-headed and practi-
cal There isn't much use in man
tackling farming in South Dakota
unless he is both. That the farmers
of that state are convinced that in
alfalfa is their agricultural salvation
is shown by the men they elected
to the state legislature. The Alfalfa
ticket was the one popularity sup
ported. The demand was for more
seed, and the men who promised to
work for alfalfa, if elected, were the
ones chosen to carry the mission to
the halls of state.
What would some of the elder
statesmen have thought of making a
political issue or subject of legis-
lative debate of a mere forage plant?
But with all the vital issues that
faced the elder statesmen none trans
cended this Importance. With a ma
ton crying for beef, with the once
wide feeding plains shrinking into
farms, with cattle growing fewer,
there is no greater issue before the
public today than this same issue of
providing forage crop for desolate
lands which will afford the most nu-
triment on the least area. That's
alfalfa.
What South Dakota thinks of it
is reflected in the last session of the
legislature In 1911 the legislature
voted $4,000 to look into the sub
ject of propagating the plant. For
the next two years the 1913 legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000. OF that,
$4,000 is for Prof. Hansen's fourth
trip to Siberia to get new species, and
$500 for each of the two years to
be devoted to the spread of the crop
over the state.
They are approaching the question
intelligently.
By thic time everybody knows
what alfalfa is, that range appear

AN APOSTLE OF ALFALFA.

ing plant, with it's nodules, which
were not understood for long time,
with its luXuriant stalks and branch
es which feed on nitrogen and renew
the elements in the ground. Twenty
years ago the name had a strange
sound in the East. A few expert
mented with it with no success.
But when those who studied the
plant cut three to four crops in sin
gle season and found that their stock
liked it better and thrived better on
it than on hay gradually the vogue of
the new forage plant increased until
now no intelligent farmer neglects it.
1t is the plant which works hardest
for the farmer. While it draws moist
ure from far down in the soil through
roots many feet long and as thick as
your arm its leaves draw nitrogen
from the air, the very element the
ground needs.
1t was an old plant when America
was discovered. 1t was the main sup
port of the hordes of people between
the Indian ocean and the Mediter-
ranean before the Christian era. 1t
means not only stock raising, but
crop raising, since it's reinvigoration
of the soil makes possible the growth
of other foods.
And so, when South Dakota cast
about for something to Craze it's herds
on and keep them during the winter
some one suggested alfalfa. But the
ordinary run of alfalfa in this coun-
try winter killed. 1t could not stand
the frigid cold of the prairies.
Then it was that Prof. Hansen set
out on his first pilgrimage to find in
the cold countries of the old world a
species of alfalfa that would outlive
40 below zero. A long story could be
told Of Prof. Hansen's trailing this
simple plant to its lair in the frozen
wastes of Siberia and Russia, how he
followed the lure with a persistence
born of a long line of hardy Danish
ancestry, who never knew what it
was to give up. Across deserts 1900
miles in a caravan no pursued his
plant The region was infested with
bandits and the pursuit was fraught
with danger to his life; but he was
out to get a plant for the state OF
South Dakota and he got it. Over
taken by winter near the Chinese
frontier he made a 70O-mile dash to
, the nearest station of the Trans-Sibe-
rian railway and started for South
Dakota with his precious seed.
A wonderful thing about the eX-
pertinent was the unanimity with
which farmers co-operated. The open
mindedness of the new idea is char
acteristic of the whole undertaking
From all parts of the state came Of
fers to take the new seed and propa-
gate more seed.
And so 1t came about that Prof
Hansen, this summer, having seen
that his alfalfa nurseries were work
ing well, that the half million new
plants were thriving, packed his grip
and started on his fourth trip, know
ing precisely to what part of Siberia
he must go.
The result of all this experiment.

ligent and thrifty farming state will

Syrup LUiH Surprise You
Costs Little, but there is Moth.
ing Better Mt any Price.
Fully Guaranteed.

Here is a homemade remedy that
takes hold of a cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary
cough in "a hours. This recipe makes a
pint-enough for whole family. You
couldn't buy as much or as good ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
" pint of warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has a pleasant taste-children like
it. Braces up the appetite and is
slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.
You probably know the medical value
of pine in treating bronchial asthma,
bronchitis, spasmodic Group and whoop-
ing cough. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine elements.
Other preparations will not work in
this combination.
The prompt results from this inexpen-
sive remedy have made friends for it in
thousands of homes in the United States
and Canada, which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
