HOW TO GROW ALFALFA
IN WESTERN KENTUCKY.

The planters owning land a.
round Hickman. and especially IN
the lower bottom, are making big
money ON alfalfa this year. Al
falfa raising even in this section
is merely in its infancy and in a
few more years il is going TO be
one of the leading agricultural
products of this end OF the State.
Ii is being shown that alfalfa
can be grown successfully in all
couniies in Western Kentucky
and that 1t is unquesti0nably the
most valuable crop a farmer can
grow. Any well-drained land
that will produce eight TO ten
barrels of corn or one thousand
pounds of tobacco will grow al
falfa profitably, provided the
four essentials needed ia its
growth are present or added
first, plenty of limestone; phOs-
lphate, humus, and incubation of
the soil.
A good time 10 sow alfalfa Is
from the 10Th of August TO the
10th Of September. A crop Of
corn, tobacco or peas can not be
gotten off the ground in time for
sowing, therefore select a piece
of ground that has been in
wheat, oats, early potatoes or a
crop Of peas chopped into the
ground and not cut for hay. If
barnyard manure is plentiful, put
il on the ground and pillow It un-
der II not, Il would be well 10

frequently, making a perfect
seed bed.
Be sure 10 inoculate the seed.
This can be done by means Of
the Government culture or by
using dirt from an old alfalfa or
sweet clover field II convenient,
use both. Dirt from an old al
falfa field should be spread over
the land aud narrowed in immedi
ately. or the sun will kin the

good, clean alfalfa seed per acre.
IL sowing is delayed later than
September 10th, the alfalfa will

FOURTH OF JULY
TETANUs OR LoCKJAw.
Get ready for next week |

The remarkable campaign for
the diffusion of knowledge as TO
the practical prevention of lock
jaw following injuries received on
the Fourth of July, is bearing
fruit. In 1903 there were All
deaths from lock-jaw amongst the
Fourth of July victims. BY 1909
this number had been reduced to
100, and last year there were on
ly3.
Blank cartridges and similar
penetrating wounds are the great
cause of lOck-jaw. Every pune
hlred wound made by an unsteri-
lied instrument or object is dam
gerous. The k-jaw germs thrive
only in the absence Of oxygen. On
this account the physician should
be called at once and he will en-
large the wound and remove all
foreign material and clean it out
in such manner as TO prevent
the development of the germs or
seed of disease. In order to Sc
cure results it is generally neces-
sary to administer ether or some
other general anaesthetic. The
anti-tetanus serum is OF real value
as preventive measure, proyid-
ed it is given within a few hours
after receipt of injury.
Parents should realize that
Fourth of July and other tetanus
or lock-jaw is easy to prevent
but extremely difficult to cure.
Every punctured wound should
receive careful medical attention.
However slight the injury may
appear, summon a physician who
will adopt energetic measures.
Most lives are sacrificed from lock-
jaw which put reliance upon
home treatment.
The State Board of Health |
keeps a constant supply of anti
serum at its Laboratory in Bowl
ing Green and can supply it at
actual cost 10 any physician who
wires or telephones for it.

NO NEWS FROM MEX
 co CAUSES ANXIETY
Absence of Rail and Wire Communi- cation with Mexico Causes Wash ingtOn to WOrry-Protect the
 Lives NOn-COmbatants

Washington, June 29.-In the ab sence of direct reports from Mexico City, which for nearly ten days has been cut off by rail and wire. there has been muci. anxiety in official quar- ters today concerning conditions in the old capital and its vicinity. From previous dispatches it is known that the food supply is short and the dan ger of military operations being being carried into the city itself has caus- ed grave apprehension among foreign erS.
 The State departments only infor- nation during the day came from American consular officers at Vera Cruz, whose reports were summariz- ed in this statement. "The depart ment's latest advices regarding the situation are to the effect that Gen eral Carran2a is massing large number of troops and expects to take the city within two or three days. He has issued instructions to protect non-combatants.'
 Officials were gratified with press dispatches indicating that the dip lomatic corps was active in trying to arrange for the safety of Americans in case of fighting in the city and for the protection of private prop erty in the event of evacuation. The Washington government is relying on the initiative of the Brazilian minis ter and other diplomats to take care of emergencies without awaiting in- structions.

TEMPORARY LULU IN
 AFFIDAVIT STORM
Investigating Committee Proceeding With Work in Offices of Attorney General, Governor and Clerk
 of The Supreme Court.
(By Clio Harper.)

Litle Rock. June 30.-There is at least a temporary lull in the affidavit storm at the state capitol. The last shots were fred State Auditor Dickin- son and Deputy Bill Stoddard, offering to go before the Grand Jury and tell, under oath, everything they know. Up to the present time they have not been called.
 In the meantime the Investigating Committee, appointed by the Legis- lature, discrcdited by the Supreme Court, and perpetuated by the Cover nor, is proceeding with it's investiga- tons in the offices of the Attorney General, Governor and Clerk of the Supreme Court; They say they will not 90 further at this time on account of lack Of funds. Aside from all questions of petty policies, openly charged by Secretary of State Hodges of improper influences, charged by Thomas and McAmis, and the storm of accusation and rccusation that has been raging about them, the fact re- mains that out of it all should come some system that will prevent its re- currence in future administrations. Some more business-like system of conducting the states which is the peoples, bu ,'ness, must be formulat- ed. Had this been done years ago, books and accounts would have been more easily checked, and careless and lax methods, not to say dishonest, could not have obtained.
 Several pla.s were suggested in the last Legislat re, but all were discard ed for one reason or another. It is expected that at the opening of the 1917 General Assembly there will be flood of suggestions and proposed laws to cover the subject. Fiscal Boards, State Accountants, anG other devices will be offered as a panacea for financial ills, and it is certain that some eXpedient will be adopted. Sen ator Garrett, chairman of the Special Committee, will be leader in the re- form, and is already considering the draft of a blll which he believes will meet the requirements.
 One suggestion that has been offer ed is that on Oct 1, of each year pre- ceding the. converting of the Legisla- ture, the State Bank Commissioner shall designate two or three expert ac- countants who shall proceed to make a complete audit of the various de-

ATTORNEYS SEEKING RELEASE OF CLIENT
 FROM STATE ASYLUM

Little Rock, June 29.-Attorneys for Albert Baker of White Rock, Franklin county, wealthy planter began arguments for a writ of ha- beas corpus to obtain the release of their client from the state insane asy- lum. Baker shot and killed Wallace Bright, for nineteen years his friend and neighbor, because he declared Bright was too friendly with his wife"
 Bright was killed in the fall of 1913. Bake was indicted for mur- der but was found not guilty by a Jury on the ground that he was in- sane at the time of the killing. The circuit judge ordered Baker commit ted to the asylum. Under the ArS kansas statute the superintendent of the asylum has power to discharge the patient if he regains his sanity after having been committed. Dr. Frank B. Young superintendent, tes tified today that apparently Baker is sane.

NO EXTRA SESSION
 OF LEGISLATURE
Governor Says Session Will Not be Called Should Court Enjoin Pay ment of School Fund-Deci-
 sion Expected Monday.

Little Rock, June 30.-T have no intention whatever of calling an extra session of the Legislature, even should the Supreme Court enjoin the pay ment of the School fund" said Gov. Hays to the correspondent of the News.
 Further than this the governor would not discuss the proposition. It has been stated that if the payment of the school fund were enjoined. it would cause q great many schools to close for lack of funds, but from the position taken by the Governor it is evident that he thinks otherwise. The two suits, involving state aid and the general school fund have been sub mited to the Supreme Court and a decision is expected either next Mon. day or the following Monday. The lower court granted the injunction against state aid, but refused it against the general school fund, indi- eating that he considers there is dis tinction between them. Those who deny that the injunction would close the schools say that the seven mill tax would be sufficient to run most of them, although the terms might be cut down, or the schools run for awhile on borrowed money. But that the ac- emulation of funds by the time the next Legislature should meet would greatly benefit the schools of the fu- ture.

 of the Senate and Speaker of the House, to be referred to a special con- mitee Inc Legislature by this means would have before it all the information at the opening of the ses- sion, instead of teing forced to wait until months after adjournment, at a
 heavy cost to the taxpayers, when the reports are valuable chiefly as campaign documents.
 This system, taken in conjunction
 with a Budget System for appropria- tions, which the last session adopted in modifiet and experimental form, would do more to put the states af- fairs on a business basis than any plan yet suggested. This plan would obviate the .seemly scramble among institutions ard departments for dip into the porf-barrel, and secure for each an impartial consideration. This could be done by state Board con. sisting of, for example, the Governor. Auditor and Treasurer, before whon. could be called the heads of the offices and institutions. The probable re- venues could be approXimated and this divided among the departments, with a leeway for the special appro- priations every session is asked to make. This would also make unnec- essary the course that has been pur- sued by Governor Donaghey and Hays in vetoing large amounts of appro- priations to bring them within range of the revenues. This method, by which it is possible for the governor to become the sole authority on ap- propriations seems imperative so long as the Legislature will appropriate money rega a:dess of revenue, and with an easy nom halance un-shoulder the whole burden upon one man. It is un- just to the governor and species of cowardice upon the part of the Leg islators. At the close of the last ses- sion Governor Hays was confronted with the spectacle of appropriations exceeding the revenue by nearly a million dollars, and every beneficiary clamoring for his particular intrest, and insisting that some other ita': be disap! loved but hi, own left intact This was the perplexing problem that confronted the Legislative scape-goat who proceed to cut out about SG36,- 900.

HOW SHE ENDED TEN YEARS OF
 SKIN-TORTURE

Oct. 28, l9l4:-"I had eczema on my face for ten years. Little red pimples formed in small spot on my chin and then spread all over my face. They itched and burned me awfully. It was certainly embarrassing to me, and I would not go amongst people. I tried almost every remedy and treatment that could be used for this trouble, but nothing did me any good. I used Res- incl Ointment and Resinol Soap, and was relieved in day or two. In one month I was cured. This was six months ago and the trouble has never returned. = (Signed) Mrs. c. 0.
