A Valable Grass.

The Japanese clover is steadily COM
ing on-these cool days and has been
ever since the FIRST of April. Until the
last few years .tlris valuable grazing
grass never showedup until the first of
May and never'became much account
for grazing unt1 the middle of June,
but it comes On now at least thirty
days earlier, giving good grazing by
the middle of May. which lasts until
the middle of October, giving about
five months as good grazing as blue
grass. The Jap Is a most valuable
plant, growing on our thinnest soils in
the dryest weather, Ind now that the
early and late frpsts and light freezes
do not kill it, we can depend upon it
for a great deal more proSt in our
grazing all kinds of live stock which
love it and thrive upon it. Give us
more sheep. pigs, and calves to Craze
on the Jap in thelsummer, and more
industry to provide feed for them in
the winter, and the prosperity of Pow
ell county will loomSup more brightly
in the future.

A Source of Qualification

There are but few things more pleas
ing to relate than that the selection of
Clay City's postmaster, in the person
of Mr., J. II. O'Rear, has been made
without the least bit of strife or per-
sonal bitterness. The defeated appli-
cants have nothing but kind words to
speak of Mr.. O'Rear and the way he
won his appointment. There was not
a charge filed against Mr.. O'Rear or
any of the other applicants. There
was no fight at all. Each applicant
presented his own merits to the de-
partnent, and pressed their individual
claims with the best of feeling for all
the other applicants in the field.
The campaign for the selection of
postmaster in Clay City is exemplary,
it is a model. 1t could not have been
more amicably or satisfactorily adj Just
ed. We wish all towns could do as
we'll.
After all, there is good traits about
Clay City people that is rare in the cit
liens of most towns. We have DEM
onstrated on occasions before this that
we can conscientiously consider our
opponents rights in peaceful mode.
We must then conclude that we have
a lovely town in which to live. If we
have not great wealth, we have har-
mony which is far more precious than
wealth. We may not have many
learned men, but what we do have know
how to mind their own business. Con-
graduate us, sister towns, we can civ
Iny select a Democratic postmaster
with no strife at all. Can you, or have
YOU done likewise?

War Upon Us.

The United States is in the midst of
war with our sister republic, Mexico,
or rather with llucrta and his follow
ers. Our marines have landed at Vera
Cruz and taken the city where the A.
merican flag now floats. Twelve lives
Of our boys have been sacrificed in the
capture, and 80 are wounded. The
Mexican loss was 100 in the first of the
two skirmishes and the loss of the
Mexicans in the fight Wednesday has
not been ascertained. The first battle
was fought Tuesday.
Wilson has acted wisely in most
things, but in this he has not our COM
mendation. Intervention is possibly
justifiablc, but Not SO unless it is the
intention of this Government to estab-
lish a safe and stable government in
Mexico. But going to war because
Huerta, the pretender, will not fire a
salute to the flag, appears to us as
nonsense. The ofense complained of
by our Government is not worth the
cost of one life. This Government may
have in mind to quell the pending rev.
olution, and has taken this opportuni-
ty to begin hostilities. If this proves
to he true, all right, and we hope that
is the ultimate intention Of the Prcsi-
dent
