Gather Sweet Clover.

Sweet clover is growing in abund-
ance along the road side in many
parts of the country. A farmer
near Colona has secured the crop
from a cemetery to haul to his farm
and the dry stems with the ripe
seed in them will be scattered over
his fields and particularly along
eullies. Most of the seed is now
mature and should be cut at once.
The high price of the seed makes
it profitable to save the seed from
roadside plants. Sweet clover is
one of the best crops to plant upon
fields intended for permanent past
ure. The bluegrass is always more
green and of heavier growth in al
falfa or sweet clover than where
growing alone. W. M. Cook. Coun-
ty Agent of Carroll county,

A Thrift Day.

The corporations, the liquor in
terest and multimillionaires are not
the owners of the earth, despite the
shouting of the yellow press. The
world belongs to the thrifty man.
We all realize that no talent, no
circumstances, no opportunities
will make man a success in life
without the virtue of thrift, hence
the movement for national Thrift
Day is receiving encouragement. 1t
is proposed by the International
Congress for Thrift that the presi-
dent and the governors of the
states designate a day, the Sunday
before Labor Day, as Thrift Day
The idea is a worthy one, and the
labor organizations of the country
are supporting it. The constant ap-
plication of thrift will make the
world a better place to live in.
There will be fewer inmates OF
charitable institutions, fewer ap-
plicants for aims. less poverty and
more happiness. 1t is proposed to
establish state as we'll as nation
al headquarters for the association
and an active campaign undertaken
for educating the easy going and
thoughtless.

Some Big Apple Story.

Livingston county is proud of her
apples this season. A reporter for
the Constitution was shown some
apples Monday that were raised on
the James Blue farm near Sturges
Some of the apples measured fif-
teen inches in circumference and
weighed more than two pounds.
The apples were so large that the
stems were not strong enough to
hold them and Mrs. Blue sewed
rags around the apples and tied
the rag to the limb in order to
keep the apples on the tree until
they matured. They are the Wolf

The Country Editor

He might have been millionai
And won financial fame,
Or sat in a directors chair,
Had money been his aim;
He choose instead to spend his
years
In service poorly paid.
And with the poste pot and the
shears
A humble living made.
He chronicled the towns events;
The local goings-on;
His fellow townsmen's hopes and
bents
Inspired his lexicon;
He felt the public pulse that beat
Around him, and he tried
To make his little country sheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfshly, with all his heart,
He strove but to upbuild
His town, of which he was a part,
With great ambition filled
He spoke we'll OF his fellow men;
He praised when praise was due;
He welded but kindly pen,
And no reward he drew.

Another vital question which led 10
the embargo, just as it threatens to
lead to the embargo today, was the
question of the restriction of COM
merce. The leading American states
men. among them John Marshall, assert
ed that undefended towns should be con-
sidered exempt from blockade, since they
were not to be attacked by an invading
force. The injury in blocking the COM
merce of undefended towns. it was as
serted. worked to the detriment of neu-
trail commerce. No less an authority than
john Marshall made the assertion that
the blockade of cities would not seem to
extend to unprotected towns
Military authorities are responsible for
the assertion that all American statesmen
taking this view steadfastly refused to
take into consideration the question of
military eXpediency. The blockade of all
towns and the destruction of commerce
headed for those places, they state. is
part of the game of war
In support of this ~4aim it is pointed
out that under the construction put
upon the blockade by Marshall and
others the closure of all southern ports
py the northern navy during the civil
war would have been an impossibility.
The acts of embargo. as they We're

urgent message had been forwarded to

when the Leopard, which had followed

Chesapeake did. An order was sent
aboard from the commander of the
Leopard, demanding the right to search
the American man-of-war for English
sailors. When this request was re-
fused the Chesapeake received a broad
side from the Leopard's guns and a
score or more of her men were killed.
She was then subjected to the search
and several of her crew were taken off.
