NEW WEAPONF FOR
PROH|B|T|0N|STS
senator Chi1ton's Amendment Woula
Stop Shipping Liquor Into
Dry State


According to politicians a new
weapon for the enforcement of pro.
hibit.on has been fashioned, more O.,
less unwittingly; by the senate !,
the acceptance OF an amendment f..
Tered by Senator Chiffon, OF West
Virgin a, to the Clayton antitrust BIZ!
rs it passed that body last week
Members of congress are puzzlin 2
helr brains to determine just what
effect a senate amendm ent to the bill
viii have on the prohibition ques
ton.
new section was added to the bin
providing that est shall be unlawfu
for any corporation engaged in com.
merce to do any business in any state
contrary to the laws of any state un-
der which it is incorporated, or CON
trary to the laws of the state in
It may be doing business"
The full import of this amendment
was not realized by many, until al
ter it had been passed, and because
of it's reference to the liquor business
it may develop an interesting fight in
conference.
After consideration, e, was found
according to the Chiffon amendment,
that corporations brewing beer or
distilling whiskey are forbidden by
federal authority to violate the laws
Of any state into which it may ship
its product.
SO simple and inoffensive a thing
did the amendment appear on the
face Of it, that it was passed after
strong insistence on the part of the
West Virginia senator.
The Webb bill, passed two years
ago, subjected a liquor dealing cor,
poration to the laws of the state; but
the Chiffon amendment subjects such
corporations to federal authority in
case a state law is violated, bringing
distilleries and breweries as corpora
lions under both state and federal
law

The biggest farce of our churches is
prayer az prayed. Not long ago, an
old-time Negro. who is leading the
neW-time ones, in praying to God said
Lord | am nothing but filthy rags in
thy sight," &c, but bless u.s. No doubt
he told the truth, but whether he did
or not, on what ground should God
bless such a being? Go where you may,
the plea is for Gods love, his mercy
his blessings. There is just as much
sense in asking him for water, air and
soil to grow edible products. They are
all yours and its useless to even thank
God for them by prayer of the mouth.
The kind OF prayer God wants is for
you to use all for the glory and good OF
mankind and yourself-hence work IS
Gods prayer Of pleasure. To sincere
thinker enough has been here said to
convince the world that Gods love,
mercy and blessings are constantly ours,
and If we fail to partake Of them freely
as we drink water, breathe air aud till
the soil, it is our own fault. If we dc

INCREASED COST
DE- CRIMSON CLOVER
Germ Among Those Who Use
Glover Crops.

Prices for, imported crimson clov-
er and hairy yetch seed have recent
ly shown such marked upward
tendency that specialists of the de.
partment Of agriculture fear that the
cost Of these seed, Of which Europe
is the chief source, will interiors
with the increasing use Of these lie,
guminous cover crops. In fact, it is
feared that he prices Of the seed
Of these legumes may go to high as
to make it inadvisable to plant them
this year.
Before the present European cor
dltions arose, crimson clover see
was selling at from 81 to s. per
bushel. Up to August Is there was
scarcity Of this seed in the United
States, owing TO the fact hat the re
ceipts from Europe were smaller
than usual. The prices then advanc-
ed to from $3.50 to SO per bushel
Since that date importat;ons have
continued to arrive; until there is
now more imported seed available
for fall seeding than there was in
this country year ago at this time.
This seed, according to the depart
ment's information, was all imported
at approximately the same price as
that sold for 81 to $3.50 per bushel
in the early part Of the season. The
present high price, therefore, is re-
garded by the department as unwar
| ranted from the standpoint Of the
supply and the import price Of the
seed. Some dealers are continuing
to sell at the former price, but these
are exceptions.
If the present high price is main
| tanned, the specialists are doubtful
whether crimson clover can be prof
tably used as a green manure crop
| for seeding in corn or on vacant
! ground, or under other conditions
where the catch is not reasonably
certain. Under such conditions they
point out that it will be better prac-
| tce to SOW rye this fall and use the
difference In price in adding nitro
gen to the soil in the form Of nitrate
Of soda or some other highly nitro
| genOus fertilizer. The rye will af
! fCrd a winter cover preventing wash
| ing and teaching, and can be plowed
under in the spring to add humus to
tie soil
When crimson clover is being used
regularly as winter cover crop in
orchard culture, or where local ex-
perience indicates that a good catch
and good crop are practically GER
tain, payment Of a higher price for
the seed will no doubt be justified
| A somewhat similar condition ex-
lists with reference to hairy vetch
| seed. There has ben approximately
si-sevenths as much seed imported
since November 1, 1913, as in the
year previous. This shortage, how
ever, is partly counterbalanced by
the increasing domestic production
Of hairy vetch seed. Wherever the
price Of hairy vetch seed is found to
be exorbitant, the same change in
| farm practice is recommended as
that suggested in the case Of crimson
| clover
