Ramsey County Politics Beginning
To Take On Color

Up to the present time politics in
this county has been lying dormant,
but next month tho political bruin
will emerge from his long nap AMI
gaze about for his shadow, and it is
barely possible that he will see his
shadow and return to his liar for
another six weeks. The fact that
Ramsey county has a good set of
officials and all seem bent on doing
their duty has been one of the things
which has kept the political pot
from even ~simmering. However as
the time is drawing near for another
county and state primary. by careful
scrutiny one can see an occasional
bubble on the jlacid waters Of the
political sea.
"Jaek" Mclean, who has served
the county we'll, will have to retire
1t the end of his present term, as
the law limits him to two terms and
consequently there will no doubt be

SWEET CLOVER
Snee Considered Weed-But Nov
Valuable Plant-oood Soil Build
er-White Variety Best

BY j. q. HANEY, Grand Forks, N. D
There are two varieties of sweet
clover that are gaining favor as hay
and pasture crops, the white and the
yellow lowered. These plants are
closely related to alfalfa, but they are
biennials, that is, a single plant lives
only two years. However, the sweet
clovers are such persistent seed pro
ducers, the seed Of such high vitality,
and the young plants SO vigorous, that
when once established, it appears to
live from year to year. The ordinary
methods of moving it at random along
the roadsides or on abandoned or I'M
occupied lots OF fields, has little a2
parent effect.
Sweet clover is considered by most
farmers as a bad weed. 1t, however.
has long had friends who have learn,
ed its value, and recently, especially
in the drier sections and on poor soil.
1t is gaining much favor as a pasture
and hay crop. The fact that it has q
rather repulsive odor and taste, and
that stock do not eat it to any great
extent r the faults usually placed
against it. However when stock are
confined to sweet clover pasture, they
soon learn to like it and fatten very
rapidly, and there seems to be nc
trouble from animal bloating or
clover as there often is with alfalfa.
In Colorado, along the railroads, theirs

clover are very nearly equal.
The white sweet clover seems to
give best satisfaction for both hay
and pasture. For hay, the plants must
be cut early-about the time the first
blooms appear. At this time the re.
pulsive odor and taste are not so no.
ticeable as at later stages Of growth.
Early cutting is best, because a sec.

and produce a second cutting or a
seed crop. The yield OF hay is re.
ported to be equal to or greater than
alfalfa. The handling of a seed crop
is somewhat more difficult than alfal.

essential that sweet clover be cut
high--about four inches-the first
time or there is danger Of killing
many of the plants.
The requirements Of sweet clover

The past week has been busy one,
especially in club circles. The work of
organizing the Young Women's Chris
itan Association has been one of the
special activities Of the week and will
probably engage the attention of sew
eral prominent women for some days
yet. The Shriners festivities in Port
land took many Salemites to the Rose
City for few days, and the circus on
Tuesday was made the occasion of
much enjoyment for many out of town
people. The children IS carnival last
night brought many visitors to the city,
and was in all respects a brilliant sue
cess.
Miss Mary Schultz, pupil of William
Wallace Graham, teacher of violin, was
presented in recital in the Fist Bap-
tist church Monday night before an
audience that taxed the capacity of
the church and attested to the popular
ity and esteem in which Miss Schultz
is held in the Capital City. The church
was tastefully decorated for the ocea-
sion. In this recital Miss Schultz was
given an opportunity to show her tech
nique to the best advantage. In the
execution of her numbers she revealed
am mastery of the mechanical side of
the art that was close to perfection.
In the Interpretation of the works of
the composers, Miss Schultz showed ex-
eeptiOnal ability. Her violin was not
merely an instrument on which to per
form musical acrobatics but it spoke
q living, breathing message. Under
her deft touch and emotional rendering
the passion of the music, its quietness,
joyousness, or sadness leaped forth with
power and charm. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that Miss Schultz has brilliant
musical career before her. During the
past few years she has won her way
into the hearts of the people of Salem
until she is recognized as the most
promising of the violinists of the city.
She is devoted to her art and is close
student Of things musical. Miss Carmel
Sullivan was her accompanist.

other departments also gave good re-

to go toward church benevolences and
the class expenses. Arrangements were
