and seized Gloria's other arm. Royce
broke his grip by jiu Jitsu and flung
him OF. He fell against a table, up
setting the occupants, who rose and
struck at him, then at one another.
Choey leaped at Royce. The zest Of
battle filed the air. Royce put Gloria
back Of him and met Choey half way.
Royce was a college boxer and Choey
had a schooling In the east side rings.
1t was a pretty exhibition of two
schools Of science. The spectators
were of divided opinions and began
to take sides.
Men and women quarreled and
smotc. The whole place fell into up
onr Royce was attacked on all sides.
He seized a chair and cleared a space
for Gloria. 1t was wrenched from him.
Bottles were thrown. Royce went to
his knees and rose with a cash on his
head.
Gloria did her best to protect him
till he got up, but she was a novice in
such scenes. Through a terrific melee
Royce slowly fought backward to the
door. Even the musicians entered the
fight. Gideon Trask, never dreaming
that he was the cause Of 1t all. watched
the battle from the barroom door.

TO fear for him. She forgave him the
slight he had put on her. and when
she saw him slip OF the wet floor and

Gloria told her story, rising now and
then to point to Choey and the other
thugs. The judge tried to keep his
face straight as she denounced Choey
and described his treatment of her and

Judge Freeman Gained Gloria and
spoke:
Miss Gloria, what does your honor
wish to have done to this man?"
II think Doctor Royce has done
enough to him. Better let them all
off,"
This was an Unexpectedly popular
suggestion. The judge pondered. The
prisoners pushed forward appealingly.

after wholly upon the alfalfa, caus-
ng the plants to turn yellow and
die.
The dOdder plant is very peculiar
in its make up. It has no leaves,
no roots and no evident green pig
ment as green plants have. 1t does
however, possess true stems, flowers
and seeds. The flowers are small
and white in color. They are mass
ed in dense clusters on the slender
yellowish stems. About mid-sum-
mer the flowers mature seed which
falls to the ground and terminates
the following spring.
The surest way to keep out dod-
der is to use clean seed. In infest-
ed fields the pest can be removed
from small areas by cutting the in
tested plants and piling on dry
straw and burning them on the
spot where they grew. II whole
field is infested it will be best to
plow it under, but it should be
done before the seeds ripen. II
seeds have been allowed to mature,
the crop should be moved, dried.
and thoroughly burned. Cultivat-
ed crops should then be grown for
two or three years before the soil
is used again for alfalfa.-H. e.

ALFALFA DoDDER
4 COSTLY PEST
frequently Causes Extensive Dam
ags-Measurss OF Control

Alfalfa dOdder occupies an i'm
portant place among the enemies of
alfalfa and ought to be regarded as
a serious pest. The d0dder plant
occupies low position among the
common green plants, in fact. is
guilty of three serious offenses.
First, it should be considered q
loafer because it has lost the habit
of making it's own food, second, it
is q robber because it takes from
the alfalfa the juices which that
plant needs for its own sustenance;
and third, it is criminal because
it brings about the death Of alfalfa
plants on which it is growing.
Alfalfa growers find dodder ap-
pearing most frequently in the new
ly seeded fields because dodder seed
is very commonly found as an i'm
purity in seed of alfalfa. DOdder
terminates in the spring in about
three or four weeks after the alfalfa
has begun growth. It sends up
slender, yellow thread-like stems
which sway back and forth with
the wind until they come in con-
tact with stems Of alfalfa. Then
they attach themselves firmly by
tWining and producing tiny wart-
like suckers at the contact. The
dodder stems then break connec-
tfons with the soil and live there

shippers 70 Help The Railroads
Out

Reports just complied by the
Railroads War Board indicate ma
tion wide cooperation on the part
of shippers in the railroads cam
paign to make better use Of exist
ing freight cars in order to be able
to better provide the increased
amount Of freight service which the
necessities Of the war have called
for The reports which come from
railroads, shippers and shippers
associations In all parts of the
country show that practically every
commodity from coal and steel to
food products is being loaded in a
way to eliminate waste space in
the cars and thereby increase the
number of cars available for ship
pers. It ia estimated from these
reports that during the month OF
July saving in space were effected
by the shippers which increased
the number of cars available for
freight traffic by approximately
10000.
Some conception of the efforts which
the shippers are makig to help
the railroads in their campaign to
increase transportation efficiency
and release cars that are essential
to take care Of the increased Gov
ernment and Commercial traffic
may be cleaned from the following
facts taken from the reports sent
to the commission on Car Service
from various parts OF the country:
In New Orleans, sugar, which was
formerly loaded to only fifty per
cent Of the capacity of the cars is
now being loaded from one hun
dred to one hundred and thirteen
per cent OF marked capacity: the
lending Of coffee has also increased
in the New Orleans district from
fifty per cent of the full capacity OF
the cars to as high as eighty-six
per cent. At Libby Montana, q
lumber company which in July IL;
loaded on an average of 22,26S feet
Of lumber per car, in July this year
increased the ave..a, C loading co
26.;>3 fest. IN increa G OF more thai
fifteen per cent pc. rd: A rubner
company in the Middlewest which
averages $1,000 lbs. of tires to the
car before the campaign for inten-
sive loading began is now loading
$4,000 lbs. OF tires to the car. A
salt company in Kansas is now
loading cars to 11e per cent of
their marked capacity, an increase
OF more than 20 per cent over its
performance last year. An Iron
company in New York State that
formerly loaded pig iron to 80 per
cent OF the market capacity of it's
cars increased it's loading to 1912
per cent during the period July
18th to July 31st, inclusive. A re-
cent check of Bituminous coal on
one OF the eastern roads showed
that out of $40 cars only seven con-
tained lading below the marked
capacity OF the cars The total
marked capacity of these cars was
A,549 net tons, the weight of the
lading carried 3O,667 tons, or q load
ing OF 111.14 per cent of the marked
capacity.
