It is probable that the suffragettes of England will be fought with their own weapons in the near future. Re gently there appeared in one of the leading weeklies this advertisement: Protection against Les Petroleuses' property owners and others pro vided with suitable guardians, armed with cat-o-nine tails and other effective weapons. Apply, Emergency Department, Liberty and Property De- fense League, 29 Victoria Street, Westminster" The men who have been engaged by the league are ex- policemen and ex-service men.

 Later telegrams told of the indict- Ihent of two attorneys on charge of embedding funds of Creek minors in their hands as guardians, the indict- ment for embezzlemeAt in cases or two other guardians, the indictment of three leading attorneys charged with practcing; deceit upon the court in obtaining approval of exorbitant al- lowances as attorneys fees and an in dictment against the guardian and former district court clerk for embez- element of Creek minors funds.
 The situation in Oklahoma, MT. Sells says, is a disgrace to the nation In forty counties, he says, there are from 800 to 1900 probate cases pending, and S0 per cent of these involve Indians. It costs seven times as much to settle an Indian minors estate as it does the estate of a white child.
 It is charged by Secretary Lane and Mir Sells that guardians for the lnd1- an minors are almost universally ap- pointed without regard to fitness or responsibility. the purpose being to benefit some other person who would rob the minor. Bonds have been made in many cases without regard to the solvency of the bondsman.
 Mr. Sells declared that in many cases no actual reports have been made by those settling estates, and on final settlement the minors found themselves without property. In num- bers of instances guardians absconded and bondsmen were insolvent. leaving the minors destitute. charges upon the public. .....

THE MIDDLEMAN IN TRADE:

Those who have been making war on the middleman were confident that his elimination, or at least subor- dination, would be accomplished through the operation of the parcel post, but that confidence has not been justified by facts. The postal author ities at Washington admit that, in spite of the facilities provided, the producer and consumer have not util- ized the parcel post for direct deal ing, to the elimination of the middle man.
 Public opinion has about settled down to the conclusion that the mid dleman is an economic development of industrial civilization that cannot be dispensed with. Stock and produce exchanges have no monopoly of trade and prosper only by economies of ad- ministration and the trade facilities of combination. Outside competition is as free as air, but it's common ad- vantage is freedom from the respon- sibility and public regulation which make exchange trading safe.
 Has the miscellaneous middleman in common retail trade any other advan- tage than the convenience of both buyer and seller?
 Contemplate the extremes. The ;t ,,1ynf ct n between tribes where buyers and sell CTS came to barter. The market of today is a complex warehouse, where you telephone for what you want, and it comes by motor to your back door. The price of your supplies rises in proportion as you abuse this unlimit- ed service The workman gets his hire It is doubtful how the post master generals new expansions will displace the quick. easy service of retail trade in household supplies by taking poultry, eggs. butter, fruit and vegetables by mail from farm to home.
 The housekeeper who will not save money by choosing his purchases in person and taking them home, will soon tire of surrendering the other advantages of a central and complete market. The middleman's service, like other things, loses appreciation by custom, till one tries to do with out it.--Ex.

 Sells Aiding In Probe-Cheating of
 Children a Disgrace, He Says.
 Washington of the Inte- rior Franklin K. Lane and his director of the bureau of Indian affairs, Cato Sells. have launched vigorous cam- paign against prominent persons in Oklahoma who, it is alleged, have been robbing the minor Indians of the five civilized tribes out of their birthrights.
 II am determined that the Indian minors in Oklahoma shall have better protection" said Secretary Lane. 'Their property rights must be safe guarded.
 "rhey are on an average the richest children in the United States and have less protection for their property rights than the children of any other state. It is estimated that, while the approxi- mate cost is 8 per cent to settle white minors estate, the expense of uuIululSLeIluS Luc SSIotC oA dA AAAAAeaAA minor is at least 20 per cent. Guardian fees. attorney fees and other expenses make up this charge. In many cases gross misrepresentation of funds has been found.
 "Where there has been misappropria- ton of funds there will be prosecu- tions.''
 The tribal attorneys of the Five Civilized Tribes have been directed to act at once on cases of alleged frauds. One tribal attorney wired as follows to Secretary Lane:

must be we'll stirred to prevent
scorching.
If there is not enough water not all
the lime will be slaked well. On the
other hand, too much water retards
the shaking by lowering the heat. Add
enough boiling water to make the
wash just thick enough to spread
well. Mix one ounce of carbolic acid
in each bucket of wash. Carbolic
acid is poisonous and must be handled
with care. If the roosting poles and
nest boxes are movable take them out
of the house. Brush down the walls,
clean the floor; then apply the wash,
which should be put on hot. Take
time to get the wash into the cracks.
The roosts and nest boxes should
be brushed over with coal oil and
then given a thick coat of the hot
wash. The floor should be we'll coat
ed with fresh air-slaked lime. If the
work is we'll done the lice will be
killed. the house disinfected and the
appearance much improved. Choose
a bright day for this work.
Clean up the droppings every morn
ing; put in barrels between layers of
rich sifted earth, spread one or two
handfuls of plaster over each layer
of manure; the plaster will prevent
loss of ammonia.
Keep the barrels of manure under
cover outside of the house. The drop

The color of soils is governed large
ly by the amount and kind of iron
compounds and the percentages of or
ganic matter which they contain.
Iron may give soils a red. blue, vel
low or gray color. depending largely
upon texture, aeration and moisture
content. Organic m1.ter when pres
ent in quantities tends to make soils
either black or brown in color The
combination of colors formed by the
iron compounds and organic matter
give rise to a great many intermediate
tints.
As a rule the dark color of soils is
closely associated with the presence
of organic matter, while light color
indicates its absence. Dark colored
soils are usually quite prodJ- i've,

Successive drouths in the dairy
section of the Northwest have served
in limited way to show the special
value of alfalfa. There are several
reasons why this fodder ought to be
generally extensively used by North

is a profitable hay crop. 1t can be de-
pended upon to net the producer fully
5O per cent. more profit than either

posed of in the market or fed out to

be practically bare.

! feeding is necessary.
If it can be spared from the farm
and is sent to market a good cash re-
turn is obtained and it is well to note
that it is one of the first large items
of the crop season.
1t comes in considerably ahead of
grain and the revenue may do away
with the necessity of borrowing money
for carrying on the heavy operations
of the farming season.
Usually the dairy farmer will prefer
to have the alfalfa crop consumed on
the place because it greatly increases
the flow of milk. The cash return is
thus likely to be larger than for mar
keting the hay and the midsummer
and fall cuttings are equally profitable
for winter feeding.
The crop will average three cuttings
each season in this latitude, although
it is commonly harvested five times in
Kansas, Oregon, Washington, and a
few other states.
In view of the difficulties which
Northern farmers have experienced in
keeping up their milk supply during
the summer months it is worth while
to consider the special value of alfalfa
as dairy fodder
