Big Clover.

Editor. Mr.. j. A. Stewart
failed to tell us what kind of
land his big clover grew on, and
what he did to make it big two
important points for farmers.
His was big but / can beat it a
little. Mine is 3-feet S-inches.
Two years ago | had an old
field of three acres that was
thought to be worn-out and had
little of everything on it but
what was wanted. | plowed it
and sowed it in buckwheat, u.s.
ing 200 pounds 1875 fertilizer to
the acre, but the season being
dry, | got no returns. | then
put on 80 bushels of Stacked lime
to the acre and $50 pounds of
the same kind of fertilizer and
sowed to rye and got 16 bushels
to the acre. | also sowed clover
and got the foregoing big stalks.
| am now ploughing it under.
AS there are hundreds of SINH
lar acres in Fulton county, let us
figure it up to see what small ex-
pense is necessary to build them
up to produce good crops. Cost

SHORTAGE
OF MEN
Recruits Still Wanted And
Some May Start
Monday.

Fort Thomas, KY, June 90.-"It is
the lack of recruits more than any
thing else that is holding us back.
What we want is men, more men, and
more men, and when we get enough
men, we will begin to make our APP
pearance on the border" This was
the statement made by Brig. Gen.
Roger Williams when asked why Ken
lucky state guards were still in mobil-
ization camp when militiamen from
other states were being rushed to the
border. New orders received from
Frankfort were interpreted as indicat-
ing that as soon as the Kentucky con-
tingent had been inoculated and ex-
amined they would in all probability
leave for the border not later than
Monday.

To Answer After Crawling
Down on the Release
Of Prisoners.
BRAZIL BUTTS in AGAIN
But Lansing Makes 1t Clear
That There is Nothing
to Mediate.

Washington, d. c., June 30.-The
Washington government still awaited
further compliance with its demands
by the de facto authorities of Mexico.
Release by Gen. Carranza's order of
the American prisoners taken at Car
rial has averted the probability of
immediate retaliatory steps. 1t is pos
sible that it has also helped to pave
the way toward an attempt at peaceful
settlement Of the whole border situa-
ton. High officials made it very
clear however, that the vital point at
issue-the future attitude of Mexican
forces toward American forces in
northern Mexico engaged in guarding
the border and pursuing bandits who
raided American territory-remains
to be settled.
limitations have come, it is under
stood, that Carranza intends to back
up the order issued to Gen. Trevino
directing that American troops be at
tackled if they move in any direction
in Mexico except toward the border.
Officials are fully prepared for reply
of that character, despite the fact that
the prisoners taken at Carrizal have
been promptly surrendered on de-
mand.
Mr.. Lansing made it clear today to
lgnacio Calderon, minister from b.
livia, that pending formal reply from
the Carranza government to his late
note, no offer of mediation would be
acceptable to the United States.
Final decision by Washington off
Gals as to the responsibility for the
fighting cannot be reached until a
complete report from Gen. Pershing
is available. He is gathering from
survivors all information they have as
TO what happened and will submit a
full report to Secretary Baker, who
will in turn transmit it to the state de-
partment for consideration.

Delay Advantageous.

Any delay incident to new negotia-
tons with Gen. Carranza will be Of
inestimable benefit to the United
States should the course of events
cause a clash between the United
States and the defacto government,
according to army officers. The adj
vantage would consist not only Of per-
hitting the release for. active service
of the $1,000 regulars guarding the
border by substitution of national
guardsmen, but in the concentration
of supplies for big campaign, the
mobilization Of transports facilities
and the rehabilitation of the flying
arm of the service.
II is estimated that the forage for
horses and mules used by the army
will cost the United States $3.50, 600 a
month while approximately $40, 900 a
month will be used for gasoline. The
pay Of officers and men on the bor-
der now appoxiInates 1880, eco q
month, but this will be greatly in
creased by the addition of the nation
al guardsmen.

In Fighting Mood.

Philadelphia, June 80. President
Wilson describing himself as ''in a
fighting mood" enunciated yesterday
to large crowd in independence
Square his conception OF some of the
cardinal American ideals. He de-
clared that America in dealing with
other nations must "vindicate at what
ever cost its principles of liberty,
justice and humanity. America
first, must be translated into action
exalting it above all selfish interests
and that the nations policy and devel-
opment must be guided by the whole
people and not by any small group.

Hanging The Preachers.

A business man of Birmingham,
Ala, drew up a petition asking the
city council to appoint committee to
hang every minister of the gospel in
Town. lie circulated the document
among thirty of the city's leading citi-
zens, including many influential bank
ers, merchants and manufacturers
And twenty Of them signed it.
Now they are busy explaining that
they didn't know what they we're do
ing. Needless to say, they don't want
to hang the preachers. They simply
signed that paper without reading it
through. And it is a striking proof
of the assertion the circulation of the
petition set out to prove-that the
American business man will sign al
most anything.
The document, of course, was care
fully baited. 1t started out with the
usual array of "whereases," asking
the city council to adopt an ordinance
excusing the ministers foom paying
sanitary tax. The last paragraph con-
tanned a little joker in the form of an
explanation that in order to gain inn
munity from the tax the ministers
would have to be hanged. Owens
