his lifelong task. Dean Kaye has

STRONG FOR SWEET CLOVER.
Best Pasture for Kansas Soil Says
Manhattan Crop Professor.

Manhattan, Kan, March 3.-No
pasture crop can be grown in Kansas
that will furnish a more Satisfac Glory
pasture in a shorter time after seed
ing than sweet clover, according to
Ralph Kenney, assistant professor of
crops in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Sweet clover can be pastured with
as many animals per given area as
any other crop grown in Kansas,
said Mr.. Kenney. 1T is an excellent
pasture for all animals but it is eX-
ceptionally valuable for hogs, sheep
and dairy cattle. Less bloat is caused
from sweet clover than any other
legume used for pasturing cattle.
Sweet clover is the only legume
which will succeed on much of the
Kansas rough land. As a pasture crop
in Kansas it is past the experimental
stage. Thousands of farmers have
tried it and have become enthusiastic
grOWers'

GIRLS CLIMB HIGH
Topeka Lassies Are PatrOnizing
the "Shine ParlorS."
Greeks Have Attracted New
Line of Patronage Here.
HIGH POLISH OF CIVILIZATION
Possibly Ancient Greece Has
Something to Do With 1t.
And Those Bicycle Clips Are
Always "Just Right"
HIGH POLISH OF CIVILIZATION

The Topeka pedestrian glanced
down at his boots. They were minus
a polish. He wendell his way to
convenient shine parlor entered.
stared, and backed out The long
seat was entirely taken up by pretty
girls and women. The pedestrian was
persistent. He really needed a shine.
He looked up another parlor 1t
was occupied by three women and
one man. The man looked lonely.
That was funny. Why all the fem
mime patrons? Come to think about
it one never used to see a woman in
a shine parlOr.
The seeker after a shine and also
a seeker after knowledge watched the
flying brushes and furnishing cloth
with interest. Yes, undoubtedly equal
suffrage and equal privilege-to-get-
your-shoe ined-when- you-p ca
are coming into fashion hand in hand
or foot to foot.
But why? 1t is well known that
Topeka ladies have. an enthusiasm for
Greek art. Is it possible that the
skill, ease, and finished grace with
which the facile Levantines WELD the
utensils of their esthetic craft appeal
to lovers of the artistic and the beau
tiful? The civilization of ancient
Greece was the most highly polished
the world has seen. Can it be that
modern subjects of King Constan-
tine the ability to produce yet high
er polish?
Is 1t Sign of Prosperity?
Or, descending to a more grossly
material level, is the Topeka family
provider more flush" with coin
than formerly? Do the sinuous simo-
Icons shine with more seraphic
Skinner than in days of yore? To
hear the average family provider talk,
one would think not.
Can it be, then, that friend husband
is getting independent and refuses to
descend to the mental task of clean
ing the vast expanse of a ladies' mod
ern boot? Perish the thought.
But one election remains. Is it re-
motely conceivable that the women
of Kansas have diminished by one iota
the alluring modesty that is their
chiefest charm? Neverrrrr. The care
with which attentive Greeks adjust a
protecting bicycle clip about the bot
tom of each attenuated skirt is evil
dence of that.
The pedestrian seeking a shine gave
it up The laws of logic presented no
solution to the problem. Here remains
one of the unexplored regions of the
future in which science of the future
may hope to reap glory by enlighten-
ing the ignorance of a waiting uni
verse.
Why is a lady in a shine parlor?

THE GERMAN OFFENSIVE AGAINST
THE ITALIANS.

| The throwing of German forces ontc
the Italian front may be the result OF &
| frenzied plea from defeated Austria Of
! it may be intended as a blow to nullify
| the effects of an expected reinforcement
of the Italian army by the British anc
| the French. There is no doubt that the
! Austrian forces were very much on the
defensive following the strong Italian
offensive on the Isonzo front, following
which there was grave discomfort in Aus
tria Hungary, If not open rebellion
against the continuance of the war II
trian forces could not stop the drive of
General Cadorna single handed; and
Italian success there meant much toward
the virtual elimination of Austria from
the war Therefore, it might have been
q question for the kaiser either to lose
what remaining assistance his Austrian
ally was able to give or to remove some
of his forces from the Russian front and
transfer them to the Isonzo in order to
bolster up the hard pressed Austrians
On the other hand, information undoubt-
edlv came to the kaiser that British and
French troops were being sent to aid the
Italians with the apparent intention of
striking at Germanys backdoor through
Austria. To ward off that blow the
kaiser may have dispatched consider
able section of the troops withdrawn
from the Russian front in order to get
in the first blow against the threatened
policy which he instituted
at the very outset of the war and which
he has tried to follow ever since. That
he is getting in the first blow in this in
stance is indicated by the reverse suf-
fered by the Italians under General Ca
dorna; ;but the initial success does not
mean that the Italians are defeated, for
the advantage almost always rests at
first with the side which masses huge
forces and thrusts at single point on
The line. The test comes in the ability !
of the offensive to continue its march: !
md Italy will not be beaten by the com
Dined Austro-German forces until she is
'orced to relinquish her hard earned
yains on the whole sector. And even if
iuch should prove TO be the outcome it
would have little bearing on the military
situation of the two sides in the war.

ing of the other casualties and thai
something like 25 large guns were cap
tured in the gallant dash of Genera
Petain's troops, That is a complete jol
for one day. If the ground is held il
will enable the French to keep the range
on the inner defenses of Laon, the cor
nerstone, as it were, of the German
line in France; and it may eventually
mean the beginning of the evacuation OF
French territory by the Huns. For an
entire army to pull up stakes on front
of approximately six miles and to ad'
vance about two miles into territory
held by the enemy is remarkable per-
Torrance. In its completeness it was
most clean-cut.
