The French conception of personal
honor is rather mystifying and baf-
fling to outsiders, and especially is
this true of the French idea of wo-
mans honor. Where the defense of
such honor is set up as justification
of the crime of murder, however, pub
lie sentiment in France, and even the
courts, always are usually ready to
accept the excuse as good and suffic-
lent, provided it can be shown the
murderous act really was committed
to protect personal honor. Nine.
Caillaux, therefore, adopted a course
in her defense that promised well and
brought her acquittal. Moreover, she
is described as young and beautiful,
qualities for which the French have
peculiar susceptibility, although under
similar conditions the same influences
not infrequently divert the applica-
tion of strict justice in other lands.

SWEET GLOVER.

Farmers in various parts OF tins
country are commencing to become IN
terested in the possibilities of swee
clover as a forage crop. Until re
Gently sweet clover has been held il
little esteem, it being regarded, il
fact, as nothing but weed and com
paratively worthless. 1t has beer
demonstrated, however, that sweet
clover possesses qualities that really
are valuable to the stock grower. Fol
one thing it resists drought condi
tions in a remarkable manner, anC
while cattle do not readily take to il
at first, it is claimed they acquire a
taste for it and thereafter eat it with
avidity. Moreover the crop grows SC
luxuriantly that it is claimed it will
furnish more feed, to the acre, than
any other forage crop grown, not
event excepting alfalfa.
In Illinois the state college of agri-
culture authorities are making some
interesting experiments with sweet
clover. Also in that state there is a
sweet clover enthusiast, farmer
named Graham, located near Rochelle,
who has successfully used this crop
for pasturage for beef raising on a
somewhat extensive scale. Recently
party of about 100 prominent farm
ers from other parts of that state
gathered at the Graham farm to in
vestigate his sweet clover crop and
methods. They found that under cul-
tivation sweet clover grew so rank
that the cattle turned out to Craze on
it could not keep it down, although
the herd was large enough to have
overstocked any other class of grasses
or clover. 1t actually had to be cut
to keep it in condition for grazing,
although any other kind of forage
crop would have been obliterated.
Like alfalfa and red clover, sweet
clover is a soil builder. As a crop to
plow under for the reviving of the
soil it is claimed to have no equal. 1t
has in fact been adopted in many in
stances expressly for that purpose. 1t
also has the merit of inoculating the
land for sowing to alfalfa, as it de-
velopS the same bacteria Its advan-
tages as a forage crop have been over
looked until recently. Here we have
one of the pests of the country which
promises to be among the most valu-
able of the possessions for solving the
difficulty of the national meat supply,
as well as for other purposes of food
production and recuperation of worn
lands.

NAIL DOWN THE LID.

Some interest has been created in
connection with the United States
Senatorial campaign in Oregon by
threats to cliff the lid from some old
chests containing stories of other
days." but so far as The Observer is
concerned, without reference to this
particular case, or any other, it he
lives that the lids of these old chests,
instead of being opened at all, should
be nailed down the tighter and the
chests themselves with millstones
about their middles east into the midst
of the sea; or minus the millstores
into the fiery furnace, from neither
of which limboes would there be any

these declarations are such that any
republican can honestly subscribe to.
Anyhow, they furnish a candid plat
form that no man need be ashamed
to stand upon in appealing to his fel-
lows for opportunity to serve them in

Dropped High Flies Just

SCORING TWO RUNS
TO SPAULDING'S NONE
Well Played Game on God
dard Campus Interested
a Good Number

That little low fence in short left field
that skirts the boundary line at one ex
tremity of the Goddard seminary campus
was the salvation of the Barre Athletic
club in its initial encounter with Spauld-
ing high school yesterday afternoon. 1t
was by virtue Of two high flies that
dropped over this fence into the little
garden plots fostered by amateur agri-
culturists that the Barre team was en-
abled to score brace of runs and de-
feat the high school lads 2 to 0. Under
ordinary conditions these hits would have
been putouts for the caretaker of the
left garden, but as it was the Spaulding
nine was the victim of circumstances.
The game was called at the end of the
eighth inning by mutual agreement.
In consideration of the weather con-
ditions that prevailed the contest was
an ideal one. being fast and Astounding
with interest. Up until Umpire Cosby
announced the cessation of play, the
outcome OF the game was problematic.
Although the Barre club negotiated two
runs, the odds were not entirely in their
favor. In the fourth session Spaulding
threatened to score with a batting rally.
Brown reached first ON an error. He
circled to third on Sectors hit. Umpire
Witt declared Brown out for not touch
ing second base. His decision was fol-
lowed by an outburst of protestations
from the Spaulding bench. Sector, who
had reached second on the relay, was
caught mapping off second moment lat

that Spaulding would have scored was
unquestioned.
Captain Tomasi refused to firt with
the cold weather and did picket duty in
right field. Coach Agnew marched Kid
der, the recruit pitcher, onto the mound.
The work of this youngster was sur
prise. He had the Barre batters bafiled
and excepting the trio of hits over left
field was invincible. His slow curve
mixed up with speed was good. Kene-

gage loans took care OF the farm owners
and not of the tenants. On the other
hand the federal reserve act IN ITS
amended form gave promise OF being
able to meet the needs OF the farming
class.
The president is willing that rural
credits legislation should be held up un-
til the federal reserve act has had OPP
portnnity to fulfil this promise.
Members of the banking and curren-
CIV committee made no effort yesterday
to conceal their displeasure with the
members OF the subcommittee, Congress
men Buckley, Bathrick and Ragsdale,
who, they say, proceeded to prepare a
tentative bill without attempting to
sound the views of other members Of
the committee.
One provision in this tentative bill,
previously disapproved by the president,
was sufficient, say members Of the main
committee, to defeat its passage, in that
it proposed to lend the credit of the
government to particular class OF in
dividuals under terms unheard OF IN the
financial experiments of this and other

Mr.. Glass explained to the president

Yesterday that the federal reserve act
in its amended form provides S50O,00O,-
900 in the way of five year mortgages,
which may be renewed at the end OF
maturity and in the way of current re-
discount of paper contracts for farm
operations. It provides further facili-
ties exclusively for the benefit of farm
ers a maturity of six months, whereas
commercial and industrial paper have a
maturity of only 90 days.
Mr. Glass pointed out that on the
mortgage provision alone $359,000,000 OF
farm credits are made available and on
the rediscount provision of the bill Mr..
Glass figures that farm credits of even
more than S500,000000 are made avail
able. The committee chairman further
stated that accredited representatives OF
some of the strongest farmers assoeia-
tions in the country had said that they
did not think any rural credits legisla-
ton could be intelligently undertaken
at this Congress or until the federal re-
serve act had practically demonstrated
Just what facilities for farm credits it
affords.
