A Mean Trick.

"Well," said the lawyer, having lis tened carefully to his clients state ment, you've got about the best case I ever heard. My dear sir, you can't help winning it, whatever court you take it to. I shall be only too glad to assist you in the matter"
 "Thanks," said the prospective client Thanks very much" Then grabbing his hat he made speedy exit from the office.
 "What-" exclaimed the astonished lawyer. "Are you going?"
 "Yes," replied the other. "T'm just going to try to settle this case out oi court"
 f"But my dear sir, why waste money As I have already told you, that's one of the best cases I ever heard.

PEOPLE BUYING HOMES.

By w. c. HOUCHINS, West Virginia
 Real Estate Dealer)
 Being real estate man, am in a position to know whether or not the sale of whisky affects the growth of the business of the city. Prior to our campaign of 1912. the whisky inter ests claimed that our storerooms would be vacant, that hundreds of our dwelling houses would be tenantless. and that real estate in general would suffer great depreciation. On the con. trary, find that the storerooms and dwelling houses are now all occupied, and that there are hundreds of appli- cants for houses whose wants cannot be supplied at the present time. wish to state that during this period of depression in business l am selling homes to men whom 1 have known for a number of years, and who are not making as much money as they were two or three years ago. These men are not investing in homes money which was saved by them when times were better, but are making small cash payments. and seem willing to assume the obligation of large month ly payments, which, in most instances will induce the owner to sell.
 T think it would be we'll for men in states which contemplate having a prohibition election, to study the con. ditions as they now exist in West Vir- einia, if they are hesitating about vot ing the dry ticket because they fear 1t would hurt their con munity from a business standpoint"

 charge from the United States De partment of Agriculture. where there are county agents the applica- tion should be made through them; otherwise write directly to the United
 States Department of Agriculture at
 Washington, D. c.
 Seeding in September is generally
 preferred If the seeding is done that
 season the plants have a chance to get well established before winter
 sets in, and in the spring they will
 be strong enough to get ahead of the
 weeds. Twenty pounds of seed to the acre is the usual rate in Arkansas. A
 wheelbarrow or cyclone seeder will
 usually distribute the seed more even-
 lv over the land than broadcasting. If
 neither of these machines can be had,
 broadcasting is satisfactory, if done
 carefully. This method calls for
 about five pounds more of seed than machine seeding.
 During the first season it may be necessary to clip the weeds couple
 of times to keep them from seeding.
 If the weeds are not bad, considerable
 alfalfa may be secured the first sea
 son. In no case should any weeds be
 allowed to go to seed. The cutting of alfalfa should always be done when the new shoots are just starting from the crown. This is usually when the plants arc about one-tenth in bloom. If the cutting is done later, many of the shoots will be cut of. and they
 will be slow to recover. If the plants are cut before the shoots start at all,
 the next crop will be set back. It is
 not a good idea to cut alfalfa so late in the fall that small growth can not be made before frost.
 Since alfalfa takes much mineral water from the soil in it's growth, it is unwise to keep field in alfalfa over about six years, although if a farm. CTS available acreage for this crop is limited it may be kept much longer if
 given a top dressing of manure about every two or three years.

fa..a on thin, poor soil. A few loads of barnyard manure or crop Of peas turned under will turn failure into success. Good drainage is necessary for successful alfalfa growing, be- cause alfalfa roots cannot stand an excessive amount of water. If the water level comes up closer than three feet of the surface, alfalfa can seldom be grown with profit.
 The washing and teaching due to the excessive rains during the winter and spring months cause about 90 per cent of our soils to be deficient IT lime. Alfalfa requires large amount of this element. The shortage in lime can be remedied by adding one or two Itons of ground limestone to the acre. Alfalfa seeds are small and the young plants are tender. If seeding is done on a loose, cloddy seed bed, failure is apt to result. The first season the young plants have much competition with crab grass, foxtail and other weeds. If the field is cultivated and kept clean for some months before seeding. most of these weeds will be killed out. It is a mistake to SOW al- falfa on a poorly prepared soil.
 Inoculation is essential in growing alfalfa. Soil is said to be inoculated for alfalfa when it contains the bac- teria which have the ability to gather free nitrogen from the air and store 1t in the nodules on the roots of al falfa. If these bacteria are not al ready in the soil they must be intro duecd from an outside source. The most certain way to inocvlate Is to bring inoculated- soil from . field which has previously grown alfalfa or sweet clover. Apply such ,u at the rate of about 300 pounds per acre and disk or harrow it in immediately. It will not be safe to leave 1t on the surface for any length of time, be cause direct sunlight will kill germs very quickly. If soil from an inocu- lated field is not available. or if that method Is too expensive, artificial in oculation material in the form of

TRAVELLING SALESMAN WON

If you do not believe in the efficacy and benefits of prohibition take a trip through the state of Kansas and you will experience a change of mind. Al least, that is what happened to a travelling salesman, c. N. Mahon by name. who lives in South Carolina MT. Mahon was bitter opponent of prohibition because he believed it was injurious to business. After mak. ing trip through Kansas he admitted he was converted. "The facts" he said, "are so different from the re. ports that have been sent out by the brewers. l have found business splen. did in this state. I find a rust,ing and a progressive people, and the sight of towns without saloons is an inspiration. I am going right back home and take the stump for prohibit tion and its strict enforcement, and am going to tell the folks there the truth about Kansas"

ii.-ALFALFA.

By Earl Fitzpatrick. Extension Agrono-
 mist University of Arkansas.
 Alfalfa is one of the best hay and pasture crops grown in this country. Farmers who have 1t growing sue esssfully declare that 1t is the most profitable crop on the farm. Many failures have been made in alfalfa growing due to the lack of knowledge of soil conditions and poor methods of seeding. In many parts of Arkansas xlfAlfa is becoming An important crop.
 A deep. loamy soil should be se- lectsd, because alfalfa roots go down to a great depth, and hard-pan or an mpervious subsoil Is objectionable A loose, gravelly or sandy subsoil may cause the soil to dry too quick ly. It is a mistake to try to get al

FULL TEXT OF PRESIDENT WILSON'S
NOTE ON SINKING OF S. S. LUSITANIA
of
Right Neual
in Peaceful Commerce Without Danger of Moletaion

United States through the news
papers, but only for the purpose of
pointing out that no warning that
an unlawful and inhumane act
would be committed could possibly
be accepted as an excuse or pallia-
alton for the act or as an abatement
of the responsibility for it's commits
sion.
Long acquainted as this govern
ment has been with the character of
the imperial German government,
and with the high principles of
equity by which they have in the
past been aetuated and guided, the
government of the United States can
not believe that the commanders of
the vessels which committed these
acts of lawlessness did so except un-
der a misapprehension of the orders
issued by the German naval author
tiles. 1t takes 1t for granted that,
at least within the practical possi-
bilities of every such case, the COM
manders even of submarines were
expected to do nothing that would
involve the lives of noncombatants
or the safety of neutral ships, even
at the cost of failing of their object
of capture or destruction. 1t conf
IDENTIFY expects. therefore, that the
imperial German government will
disavow the acts of which the gov
ernment of the United States COM
plains; that they will make repara-
tion SO far as reparation is possible
for the injuries which are without
measure, and that they will take i'm
mediate steps to prevent the recur-
renee of anything so obviously sub
yersive of the principles of warfare
for which the imperial German gov
ernment has in the past so wisely
and so firmly contended.
The government and the people
of the United States look to the I'M
perial German government for just
and prompt and enlightened action
in this vital matter, with the great
er confidence because the United
States and Germany afe bound TO-
gether, not only by special ties OF
friendship, but also by the explicit
stipulations of the treaty of 1928
between the United States and the
Kingdom of Prussia
Expressions of regret and offers
OF reparation in the case of the de-
struction of neutral ships sunk by
mistake, while they may satisfy in
ternational obligations, if no loss of
life results, cannot justify or excuse
practice, the natural and necessary
object of which is to subject neutral
nations and neutral persons to new
and immeasurable risks.
The imperial German government
will not expect the government of the
United States to omit any word or
act necessary to the performances
its sacred duty of maintaining the
rights of the United States and its
citizens and of safeguarding Their
free exercise and enjoyment.

THREE MEN LEAP TO DEATH
FROM A BURNING LAUNCH.
Boat Takes Fire During Heavy
Storm and But One Man
Reaches Shore.

Westwood, Cal, May 17.-Three
young men we're drowned at $40
o'clock last night In leaping into
Meadow Lake to escape from the
flames on their burning launch A
fourth man managed to swim to
some piling and was rescured by a
crew from land in a small boat.
The lake had been tossed by storm
into a raging sea.
The night crew on the lake,
Charles Prall. Charles Ruprecht, Ed
ward Meider and George Simpson,
were busy booming logs. A heavy
rain was falling and in the wind the
steering gear went wrong. One of
the men went to the stern to make
an examination, when, owing to the
tossing and pitching of the goat, his
lantern was upset, setting fire to the
boat. He shouted a warning to the
crew.
Prall and Ruprecht Immediately
jumped overheard. They were
drowned Immediately in the heavy
sea.
Meider and Simpson went to the
forward part Of the boat and partial
ly undressed before taking TO the
water. When the fire pressed them
too hard, they leaped overheard and
started for the boom of logs.
Meider was unable to swim in the
sweep of the waves and sank short
ly after making the attempt.
Simpson succeeded In making a
pilling, where he was resuced by a
crew from land in a small boat.
The bodies sank In twenty feet OF
water and have not yet been re-
covered.
The father and two sisters OF
Meider, who was in the employ of
the Red River Lumber Company,
live In Westwood. Prall was a
single man and little Is known about
him.
Charles Ruprecht came to West
wood from the employ OF the South
ern Pacific Railroad only two weeks
ago. He was a conductor on that
road. He was married last Febru-
ary and leaves young widow to
mourn her loss His father lives in
Halton, where Ruprecht was called
only recently to the funeral of his
mother
The accident has cast q heavy
gloom over the town, as all the men
were favorably known.

the Creamery herd.

the Creamery herd.
All the cattle have been tested for
tuberculosis and other physical
weaknesses by DR.. Lockett of the
University of Nevada and pro-
nounced free from disease. DR..
Lockett stated that he had never ex-
amined more perfect herd of cattle.
Manager Kelsey informs us that
it is the intention of the Creamery
Company to bring in new stock as
RAPIDLY as desirable herds can be To-
Gated, Or until every farmer in the
valley has availed himself of the op-
portunity presented by Mr.. Wing
field to find himself in possession of
as fine dairy herd as can be found
in the United States. While still in
its infancy in this valley, it has al
ready proven to be the salvation OF
many of our farmers, who are no
longer compelled to see their hay
crops rotting In the stacks for want
of buyer, but have the pleasure of
converting 1t into cash through the
medium of the weekly cream check.
Soon we may expect to see the nat
ural concomitant of all this in max
ing scientific business of dairying,
by the organization of COW testing
associations for the purpose of elm
mating from the herds all the So
called "boarders, or all cattle
whose production is insufficient to
pay for their keep; the erection of
silos to provide balanced ration to
be fed in conjunction with the in
dispensable and invaluable. alfalfa.
AS soon as the farmer begins to
realize that dairy COW is nothing
more or less than a machine for the
conversion of forage into butter and
that it is only by studying the needs
of the animal and supplying those
needs that the maximum results may
be attained and the elements of
waste energy eliminated, there will
be marked increase in the produc-
tion per animal.

SUBMARINE ATTACKS MAY
BE SUSPENDED BY GERMANY.
U. S. May Be Asked to Insist ON
Right to Send Food to
Fatherland.

Washington, May .17.-Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin notified the
State Department today OF the de-
livery of the American note called
forth by the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, to the German Foreign Office.
This is the first official notification
the note has arrived at its destina-
tion, although its delivery has been
reported in dispatches.
Intimations by diplomats friendly
to Germany that her answer might
be an offer to suspend attacks with
out warning on merchants ships II
the United States would renew its
informal proposal for unrestricted
passage of foodstuffs to Germany's
civilian population, have aroused
keen interest.
VIII Not Recede
Officials declare the United States
will not recede from its rights un-
| der International Law, but intimate
if Germany acquiesces in the Ameri-
can position, America probably will
press its contention of it's right to
ship foodstuffs to Germany. This
matter still is under diplomatic dis
cussion.
1t is thought probable, also an
understanding might be reached Civ
ing Germany definite assurances no
merchant ships leaving American
ports will be armed, making it pos
sible for submarine commanders to
exercise the right of search with i'm
punity.
