MOYER VOWS TO
STAY In MICHIGAN
INTEREST IN GRAND JURY PRO-
cEEDlNGs INTENsIFIEs GOV.
ERNoR'S STATEMENT.

HOUGHTON, Mich, Jan. 1O.-Dec
laration of Charles H. Meyer that he
intends to remain in the copper strike
district as long as he wishes; intima.
tin from union sources that grand
jury proceedings will be attacked on
legal grounds, and the departure OF
Gov. eF'rris without making a direct
effort to settle the trouble, marked
the developments in the local indus
trial war today.
Meyer appeared before a mass
meeting of strikers and sympathizers
which crowded the largest hall in
Hancock beyond its capacity. He
said that he telegraphed the governor
that he accepted the state executives
opinion that a conference between the
men and employers would settle the
difficulty, and had asked him to pro-
pose such action ito get the men
back to work"
Interest in grand jury proceedings
was intensified by the governors de-
claration that he would take no exec
utive action while the judicial machin-
cry Of the state was in motion. At
torneys for the union intimated that
the presence Of Grant Fellows, attor-
ney general for the state, in the jury
room had voided the body's legality.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10.-Two offic-
|ers, five noncommissioned officers and
three blue jackets from the Japanese
cruiser Idjumo are still in the capital
and cannot join their ship until it re-
turns from Guaymas to Manzanillo.
This gave rise to report that this
contingent was intended as a lega-
ton guard. The Japanese minister
points out that they brought no arms
or uniforms and says that when they
return to the Idzumo other officers
and men will come to the capital as
sightseers.

and Eddie Murphy received their bap-

Taking the lead on May 80, the
Athletics had little trouble in again
winning the American league pennant
this year. They were never headed
after they assumed command, and
enter the series today with the same
driving force and strategy which has
kept them to the fore. On the other
hand, the Braves have made the most
sensational fight in the history OF
baseball On July 6, the Braves were
in last place. They won four straight
games after that date, and this start
ed them on their dash which carried
them TO a tie with the Giants by Aug.
"a, and clinched the pennant by Oct
/. Between July s. and Aug. "a.
they won 80 games, ostzonly eight
and tied one. They continued their
winning and did not lose q single

PARIS. Oct. s.-Tha allied lines are
pressing slowly forward. Fierce fight
ing continues on the southwest angle
OF the line. where the German line.
under Generals Won Boehn and Won
Kluck turns sharply northward.
This. and the statement that all
along the battle front the situation
continues satisfactory, was the sub

ton as announced to the press TO-
day.
Continuous nghting apparently Is
confined to the two wings. The
French forces are endeavoring by. a
concerted move to pierce the German
line above camp Des Ramains. On
the west the line extends almost to
the Holland frontier, II cavalry out

Corps gives an account of the disap-
pearance of typhoid in the Army.
Only one case of typhoid fever in an
inoculated soldier occurred DURING
1913, out of 10000 men. The case oc-
Cured in the battalion, at Tientsin.
China. Two cases in this country oc-
Cured in recruits of four and five
days service, respectively, who had
not been inoculated at the time thew
were taken sick.
The United States Census for 1900
gives the average typhoid death-rate
as l6.5 per hundred thousand inhab-
itants. Rosenau states that in this
country there are comparatively few
communities of 1000 inhabitants or
more, which, during any period of
twelve consecutive months within the
last decade, have been entirely free
from typhoid fever. In 1908. the
death-toll from typhoid fever was no
less than $4,000 in the United States
In other words, one person in 200 con-
tracted typhoid fever that year"
This would mean at the 1908 rate
$50 cases in the Army at its present
strength.
The disappearance of the disease is
due to incubation of all recruits as
they enter the service. The general
sanitary condition of the posts for
the past few years is maintained at
the same level, but it must be recalled
that soldiers on entering the Army bv
no means lose touch with civil life.
They participate in all features of
civilian life, just as any other travel
ers or visitors, and so are exposed to
the same chances of infection that
civilians incur. The fact that pop
ulation of ninety thousand at a most
susceptible age has practically no ty-
phoid can be accounted for only by
the immunity conferred by the pro-
phylactic incubation. The extension
OF thlS measure TO certain phases of
civil life is definitely indicated for
adolescents who have not had the fe-
yer, in the presence of an epidemic,
or for those leaving their homes for
travel or for life in the country. Is
there no value in this procedure to
railroads and other industrial con
Germs that employ armies of skilled
labor, as well as to the individual on
farms and railroads whose family is
dependent on his manual labor for
livelihood ? They way has been shown
for reducing greatly the three humid
red thousand cases per annum in this
country by procedure causing less
inconvenience than vaccination.

SWEET CLOVER.

The Kansas Experiment Station in
recent publication makes it plain
that sweet clover, hitherto neglect
ed plant, despised as a pernicious weed
has very considerable agricultural val
ue. 1t is stated that "as a soil i'm
proven it is unexcelled; for pasturing
purposes it has considerable value
and as forage crop it can be utilized
to good advantage where alfalfa or
red clover can not be successfully
grown"
Attention is called to the fact that
there are several varities of sweet
clover, of which the common white
sweet clover and the large biennial
yellow sweet clover are the most i'm
portant. The white variety is gener-
ally to be preferred for farm purpo-
SEES, although the biennial yellow is
sometimes preferred where hay pro-
duction is desired" Sweet clover is
adapted to wide range of soils, and
while it does best on good soils, it will
make a satisfactory growth on very
poor soils.
Grown on good soil and properly
handled it makes a fair quantity of
hay which may in many cases be
substituted with advantage for the
more valuable alfalfa and clover hays.
In actual nutritive constituents it is
practically equal to these. 1t makes
an excellent pasture for cattle. sheep
horses, and hogs, and for this purpose
may be profitably grown on very poor
and rough land.
For quick results in improving the
soil sweet clover is superior to most
other crops. It's ability to thrive well
on soils lacking in humus or otherwise
badly run down makes it especially
adapted for this purpose. Like alfal-
ia, cowpeas, and other legumes, it has
the ability to obtain nitrogen from the
air by means of the nitrogen-g gather
ing bacteria which live in tubercies
on the roots of the plants, thus add
ing much nitrogen to the soil in which
it grows. When plowed under for
green manure or allowed to remain on
the land this crop is very efficient
one in building up the humus content
of the soil. The large roots, which
penetrate deeply, break up the lower
layers of the soil and add much hui
mus thereto when they decay, thus i'm
proving the physical condition of the
soil to considerable depth below
the depth of blowing. Sandy as well
as heavy clay and hardpan soils, which
would not otherwise produce satisfac-
