CERTAIN APPLI-
CANTS REJECTED

Salt Lake City, Sept 12.-Sixteen
applicants for enlistment, whose
right legs were longer than their
port side members, were rejected at
the local recruiting station of the
United States Marine Corps, during
the month of August, according to
Sergeant Frank r. Busch. the non
commissioned officer in charge.
Il take no stock in the theory that
1t is an hereditary affiction with a
Salt Lake local" said Marine Ser
geant Busch today, "but it is pc
culiar fact that very many males of
this city have starboard gambs
longer than their left ones. One ex-
planation is that the male forbears
of this younger generation had their
legs pulled so often and hard by
their plural wives during the spring
bonnet season that the offspring has
been marked with list a-port."

TO OPERATE
SPECIAL TRAIN

dairy interests in the South to the

tensive exhibit giving full presenta-

at the present time and as a region
for the future development of the
dairy industry.
The idea of the special trian from
the South to the dairy show, which is
held in the East for the first time this
year. is to give Southern dairy far
mers an opportunity to see how the
industry is conducted in the North
and to widen their outlook by bring
ing them in contact with successful
dairy farmers and dairy workers
from all parts of the country, while
a general attendance at the dairy
show on the part of Southern dairy-
men is expected to do a great deal to
educate the people of the North as
to the advantages of the South for
this industry.
Pullman cars will be started from
central points in each State and will
be made into a solid train into New
York and to Springfield. The special
will start probably on Thursday. Oc-

BE SURE TO PLANT SOME
CLOVER THIS FALL.

believing as we do that the winter
legumes, particularly bur and GRIM
son clover and hairy vetch, will, if
we use them as we should. work n
revolution in Southern agriculture
The Progressive Farmer will during
the next three months persistently
hammer the idea of "a legume cron
Tor every acre every year" In last
weeks Glover Fetch we showed how
this is possible, while at the same
time we can grow even larger crops
OF cotton and corn than we are now
growing; here we propose to show
that not only do these great winter
crops point the way to rich lands and
prosperous farmers, but that to be
without them can only mean poor
lands and poor farmers. Here are
some of the reasons why this is true:
L. Bare land is wasting land. The
nakedness of our Southern fields in
winter is shameful. Mile after mile
or cotton fields, barren and quilted
the best OF their soils being carried
away by every downpour are every
where mute testimony to our waste
tulness. Already thousands of acres
nave been gutted and ruined: mil
lions OF acres more are doomed IN g,
similar rate unless we awake to their
value and save them. A Garnet OF
green-clovers and vetch-will do
this as nothing else will. and eyery
farmer, every winter, should aim TO
nave every acre covered with a pro-
tecting, soil-enriching mantle
2. We can't afford to buy nitrogen.
Nitrogen probably is our most need.
ed fertilizing element. but in cot
ton seed meal and nitrate Of soda it
costs from 20 to 25 cents a pound
while an acre Of crimson clover
costing us SO will furnish us S12 or
SIS worth of nitrogen, or the equiv
alent OF 400 pounds of nitrate OF
soda or 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal. Shame, we say, on the farmer
who continues to depend on "store-
bought nitrogen, when above his
farm there are millions of pounds
of it, his merely for the taking.
3. Clovers fill the land with humus.
which probably next to nitrogen is
the thing most needed to bring our
i'm 9overished, dead soils to life
Farmers who have tried the clovers
agree that they are wonderful in
making soils loose, deep, mellow and
drouth-resistant.
Z. We need more winter grazing
crops, and bur and crimson clover
are ideal for this purpose. Planted
in the fall they not only hold our
soils and fill them with humus and
nitrogen. but by February or earlv
March they are furnishing the finest
OF grazing for chickens. hogs and
cattle, thus saving high-priced feed
long before the regular pastures fur
nish good grazing.
So, thep, the question is not. can
we afford to plant these crops, but
can we afford not to plant them
With all their excellent qualities. we
hold that the farmer who does with
out them is neglecting the surest OF
all means by which he can enrich his
lands and grow better and bigger
crops.
Whatever you do. don't fail to
plant some clover and vetch this
fan.-The Progressive Farmer.

Some days It seems as II you can no

bad eyesight, are only some Of the con-
dltions that follow kidney trouble.
Foley Kidney Pills help the sick weak
kidneys to regain their normal healthy

SOME MORE BUNK.
(Nampa Leader Herald)

The governor has again given it out
that the prospects for the north and
south road are very bright. This is
about the forty eleventh time he has
made that statement and still there Is
not one thing in sight to give the pub
lie any faith in the enterprise. There
is always some mysterious allusion to
big financial interests in the east that
are just dying to put twelve or fifteen
millions into this road There don't
seem to be a thing to hinder their do
ing so, but somehow they are just on
the eve of doing something they never
do. Asked why so much mystery, the
governor said hostile, partisan press
might injure the prospects.
That statement alone ought to prove
to the public that the governor hasn't
of consequence in sight.
There isn't a paper in the state hos
tile, for political reasons or otherwise,
to any legitimate enterprise and if
there were it is absurd to suppose that
bent upon building a rail-
road would pay any attention to few
country papers.

account of the revolution, and which
will Immediately spring into activity
when peace is restored. The present
tariff laws permits the ores from these
Mexican mines to enter this country
under a duty so low that they can
easily compete with the mines here.
So long as the present disturbed con-
ditions prevail down there, the tariff
cuts no figure, but when peace re-
turns the Mexican ores are real men
ace to the miners of the United States.
With the loss of the big producers Of
this country, the A. S. & r. company
will naturally turn to Mexico for lead
ore to supply its shelters on this side
of the line and the product will be
placed on the American market. Here
is an object lesson which shows the
necessity of restoring tariff that will
shut this ore out of the United States.
