LONDON. May 11.-Lord Clanri-
,arde is dead. Lord Clanricarde. the
man the British people called "the
Meanest Man In England"
What the London papers did TO his
memory. even before he was buried,
was sufficient.
The Meanest Man In England For
half a century he held that distinction.
Today, in glaring columns. amidst
The war news, the London papers told
the story Of Lord Clanricardes life. It
Is a story particularly for Irish folks
IN America.
II was men like Clanricarde who
drove the Irish to America. He was
he meanest Irish landlord.
Clanricarde's grandfather was Can
ming, British Prime Minister. in 1927.
His uncle was the first vicerOy of
india.
When he was young. Clanricards
got the idea that God made a few very.
rich. fine aud cultured people to be
human beings and that everybody who
wasn't rich, fine and cultured. wasn't
human. Human rights. as he knew
hem. we're the rights OF the rich.
Canadian soldiers in Hyde Park. not
knowing their London, have looked
with wonder and pity on a little weaz-
ened up old man. in ragged, fifty-year-
old clothes. who used to sit on the
public seats-the private seats cost
two cents-a hard, cold look in his
eyes.
This was Lord Clanricarde. owner Of
al ~ IA
land. with Irish peasants paying him
S15O,00O a year. This was Lord Clan
ricardo. once the swellest fop in Lon
don. victim of the idea that God made
him to be a specially fine human be-
ing with special rights
In 1874. he fell heir to the castle at
Portumna, one of the finest houses in
Ireland. and the estate Of $4,000 acres.
He thought he had fallen heir to the
lives and souls Of his tenants. too
He paid one visit To the estate in
1874 He never returned. His ten
ants had demanded certain improve
ments and rights.
He sent agents More than one Of
them was killed. There isn't an acre
Of the land that hasn't its tragedy.
F. ilOlntn were oiohth up u9 poverty
because of Lord Clanricardes high
rents. He demanded a large share OF
everything the tenants grew; he
would not spend money for improving
their pitiful homes.
Blood was shed time and again,
while he was in London. pottering
around with antiques.
Irish Landlords changed and be-
came human; Lord Clanricarde, never.

AUsTRIANS, DEFEATED,
 STILL FULL OF FIGHT

Rome, Aug. 14-Descriptions of the vigorous Italian offensive in the vi- cinity of Gorizia are coming in all most hourly. The Austrians are re- sisting obstinately on the San Ga briele line and the San Marco heights but it is improbable that this is their real line of defense as they have a new point of resistance on the high plains of Bainzizza overlooking the Gorizia plains which interfered with the free movement of Italian troops.
 The Austrians, although badly de- feated at Gorizia, still are strong and full of fight. General Cadorna's further progress probably will be slow as every inch of advance is being contested. Fighting continues on the other fronts.

SIP WORTH OF SEED
 NETS BOY S3OO.00

In Farm and Preside a boy tells of his good record with clover after read ing about it as a feed and means of enriching the soil The seed was twelve dollars q bushel, but he finally purchased the sixty pounds from a neighbor.
 "I will admit that when he weighed it out it looked pretty small to me for SIP. but 1 handed over the money and took my seed. I made arrangements with a neighbor to SOW it for me, which he did after the ground was ready and sowed to grain. He sowed the clover broadcast on about ten acres. l narrowed it afterwards, and that covered it just right, for l got a good stand and it wintered fine
 "The next June I cut 28 good big loads of hay for the first crop. The second I cut for seed, which l had hulled, and I sold $16O worth of seed besides a bushel I kept for my own use
 "So by figuring it up had 2S tons of hay at $5 ton, which is $40, and $160 worth of seed, making $500 all together, besides my own bushel of seed, the fertility brought to the soil and the clover straw, which makes ex- cellent bedding and manure. Glover is still one of my best crops, and the SIP invested has continued to pay good returns"

CORN AND COTTON WIRE
 WORMS IN THE SOUTH

This is one of the most troublesome pests of the southern United States, and it has done serious damage in the Carolinas, Missouri. Arkansas and Southern Illinois. Corn suffers the most, but oats, rye, cowpeas, crab grass, Johnson grass, peanuts, cotton, tobacco, sweet potatoes and water melons are all susceptible to damage from it. This worm is very unlike the other wireworms. It is not hard and wiry, but soft and elongate. The body usually is white and composed apparently of 26 joints. When full grown the insect Is about as thick as heavy pack thread While most of the wireworms are found chiefly in low-lying or poorly drained lands, the corn and cotton wireworm is most numerous On the higher parts of the field in light sandy soils. The control of this pest is now matter of study by the Department of Agriculture.

BURETOR FROM WIND SHIELD

In regard to the widespread me 'chanical ignorance among autoists a writer in Farm and Preside says:
 "The number of persons who have no practical knowledge of mechanics and yet run their own automobiles is
 so amazing that l have often been asked: How do they do it? How can a young girl who doesn't know crank shaft from the carburetor run an auto with such grace and skill !? How can a professional man with his head stuffed with medicine or law have the nerve to venture miles away from a repair shop?
 "A small-town merchant who has run a large touring car for three years admitted to me the other day that he didn't know the principle of the gas engine except that it respond ed to his control. He said that some day he hoped to study it all out, al- though he didn't see how that would help him to get any more service out of his car. This case is not excep- tional, but simply helps to show that automobiles are very nearly fool proof
