PROMPT ACTION IMPERATIVE.

The recent Indictment of the onion combine in Boston
and later Of the egg trust Chicago should pry open the
eyes of national law makers to the verypaten fact
that there is something rotten in the United Staes-very
rotten
For months the people of this country have in
sisted that the present extortonate prices of commod
ties are traceabe to the price manipuatOrs that while
there may be scarcity in certain lines of commodities
that scarcity not by any acute enough
ton
1t was no surprise to the public to learn that the Chi
cago egg gang worked their scheme through fictitious
sales AS matter of fact that is the established method
of those gentry Their whole nefarous business is pure
gamble and squeeze always at the expense of the con-
Suner
But with the exception of the prosecution under the
bPberman law it seems that long time in secur-
ing any relief. These prosecutions will not be drop in
the bucket from the fact that they likely to be long
drawn out and tedious, and to amount to very little in
the end
The people of this country have not forgotten the far
cica prosecution of the Standard Oil Company and how
very little was accomplished.
In the present emergency there is but one remedy and
that is in government intervention regulate prices and
from present Indications fear another crop will be
harvested and bagged by the specializing hogs before the

We believe the president is doing the best he can to
this end but he is handicapped by the procrastnation
of congress and the Vaccinations of the hrengs of the
SPECTATORS

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES

Clemson College, S. C.-During the
months Of March and April forest fires
frequently break out and burn over
large areas in South Carolina. The
strong winds which we have at this
season Of the year drive off all Of tho
moisture accumulated during the win
ter rains thus leaving the leaves, straw
and other litter dry and very inflam.
mable. These winds at the same time
serve to fan the smallest blaze into
dangerous and destructive fire.
Fires cause an annual loss Of $50.

There IRE number OF WAYS II,
which the people Of a community can
cooperate to prevent the damage done
by forest fires. In some sections OF
the country it is the duty Of the r. f..

them on their routes. Game wardens
in many states act as fire wardens
and have authority to summon men
to fight fires. There ought, Of course,

seed are removed from the har.
vester and Immediately placed in
oat sacks. They should then be
summed for few days until the
seed have thoroughly dried, and
then stored in the barn. A good
plan is to suspend the bags FROM
the ceiling. This will get them
out Of the way, and give free
circulation Of air about the seed,
which will prevent any possibility
Of their moulding.
x. A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE
WAY OF INOCULATING SEED:
Where clover has not previous.
culate the seed before sowing. Se-
cure bushel Of soil from land
where crimson clover has been
grown successfully, and place it
in a water-tight barrel. Then adj
about thirty gallons of water, and
stir thoroughly. The seed are
then placed in an oat sack and
plunged several times into the
water until they are thoroughly
wet. Remove the seed from the
sack, spread them out on clean
floor, and allow them to dry in
the shade for about two hours.
The seed arc thcn sown and the
land narrowed Immediately.
would advise sowing the seed on
freshly narrowed land late in the
afternoon, or on cloudy day.
(. HAIRY VETCH AND CLOVER.
Hairy vetch and crimson clover
sown together made all ideal COW
er crop. Fig. II. shows field
Of yetch and clover sown Septem-
ber Goth on land where neither
clover nor vetch had been grown
before. The photograph was
made when the vetch and clover
were in bloom. The seed were in
oculated as described above. Eight
pounds Of clover seed and ten
pounds Of vetch were sown per
acre.
II. WHEN TO TURN UNDER:
1t Is necessary to turn under
clover when the soil Is in good
condition, regardless Of the stage
Of the clover at the time. would
advise turning under the clover
as soon after blooming as soil
conditions will permit, retaining
sufficient acreage for seed puI'-
poses. II cotton or corn Is to fol-
low clover, 1t will. Of course, be
necessary to turn the land as ear
ly in March as soil conditions will
permit. Seed sown in September
will give heavy cover crop by
the 18th Of March.

I. VALUE OF CRIMSON CLOVER AS
A CLOVER CROP:
Crimson clover is no doubt the
best winter leguminous crop to
plant In the orchard, as we'll as on
the farm. The acreage in GRIM

Its great value as q soil builder
is fast becoming appreciated.
II. TIME TO PLANT:
Crimson clover may be planted
from August 18th to November
18th, but best results will be OBJ.
tanned from seed sown between
September 18th and October 18th.
III. AMOUNT OF SEED TO SOW
PER ACRE
Twelve pounds Of cleaned seed,
or twenty-four pounds of seed In
the bur, per acre will give good
seeding. When sown as late as
October 18th, would advise SOW
ing fifteen pounds Of cleaned seed.
or thirty pounds Of seed in the
bur.
Nv. COST OF SEED PER ACRE:
The price Of crimson clover
seed was very high during the
past season, due to the increased
demand for seed, and to the cut
ting off Of practically all importa-
ton Of clover seed from Europe.
Even at the high price Of $500
per bushel, the cost Of seed for
one acre Of crimson clover is only
$1.60.
v. SAVE YOUR OWN SEED AND
SOME TO SELL YOUR NEIGH
BOR
Four hundred and fifty pounds
Of crimson clover seed in the bur
may be harested per acre. which
will be sufficient to SOW fourteen
acres. If the seed are sold at
seven cents per pound (the price

return Of $3.50 for the seed per
acre.
vi. COST OF SAVING SEED:
Three men and one mule with
home made seed harvester like
the one shown in the accompany
ing illustration can harvest from
one to two acres of crimson clover
seed per day.

The Y. M. C. A. in the War

There such demand upon the energies of the Y. M. c. A the war has made and there is perhaps other body well organized for the serv ice to which it is called but the task before it is gigantic that it will need all the assistance financial and moral of those who care for the future of the youth of our land those of them who survive the of
 The work be undertaken by the Y M. c. A. is not a voluntary work The Association has been drafted by all the authority in this matter that the president the United States exercise. In executive order he says
 'The results obtained are so beneficial and bear such direct relation efficiency, inasmuch Association provision contributes the happiness the and the morale personnel that in order unify the civilian betterment activities in the army and further the work of the organization that has demonstrated it's ability render service desired by both officers and men. official recognition is here by given the Young Mems Christian association valuable adjunct and to the Service. The presi dent adds Officers enoined render the fullest practicable assistance cooperation in the main extension of the Association both per posts and in camps and field"
 Arizonas duty the Y. M. c. A. and why, is thus forth by the Arizona Star:
 No work has appealed to much worth while as that being planned to raise large sum of money promote Y. M C. A. work in the big draft army. In giving their to the defense of the Aion parents do not simply give their bodies but they give into the ard keeping of the country their minds and their souls. The father who sees his son march away, does wonder: Will he come back to whole in body?" but the question that gives him and anxiety is: Will he come back to strong in will to overcome sin and temptation and wholesome in mOrals?'
 Tine work of the Y M. C. A, however, is not fined evangelism among the soldiers; it is not solely concerned with the state of the soldiers soul It is concerned that he be supplied with atmosphere and environment of wholesome character in which he may find diversion and entertainment to combat and the ennui of army routine which is the worst foe to morality
 Arizona will be called upon to contribute it's pro- of the three million dollar fund out of which it is proposed equip Y. M. C. A. branches in the camps, and it is a responsibility that comes home to every American parent under the selective draft pan This work is being done for your boy; or, if your family is represented in the draft army for your neghbors boy.
 When America calls for the youth of the land between ages 2 and 30 it is calling for the best which the nation possesses; it is drafting block of the citizenship which will rest responsibility for meeting the after-war problems

 The enemies of Christ reported the Christ still dead and in his tomb; but the simple folk had proof in their in nermost souls of His resurrection. Risen from the deac He had brought immortality to light and become to them the resurrection and the life.
 Our ability to conduct great mis- sionary work, to build up a great bible school, to create an atmosphere in our church of spirituality, to hearten our membership with a zest and love for the work of the kingdom, to inlist the church in the needs of the day, to have such love that we will look over each others faults, to bear each other S burdens, to remember at all times that we are Christ's, to have great passion for souls, to stand for truth and righte- ouspesS, to surrender all to Christ these are all great aims, but we have no ability for them unless we have fellowship with Christ and we permit him to lift us before the Father, that we may have His spirit and life.
 May we take the fellowship of Christ, may we take Him before others, and may we so live that men and women will turn to God. May this very spirit of the Master abound in US this morning.

EXPERTS WILL
 AID PLANTERS

The boys who arc interested ir gardening will be pleased to know that an, advisory list of experts mas been fOfmed who offer their assist ance 10 any group of boys who wish help. This will include advice as to preparation Of soil, selection of seeds, protection from insect pests, proper irrigation, etc.
 If boys want help on any of these questions call up 772 and ask for what they want. The following men have kindly agreed to serve on this committee: pr. Q. c. Bartlett, Prof Fl. C. Gamby. F. C. McNabb, Dr. A. w Morrill,, A. J. Keen. Besides these authorities, the gardeners in charge of the garders at the Indian school, which. Oy the way, are well worth Visiting-Mr. Williams MT Norman, and MT. Cook. stand ready to give demonstrations and advice to anyone who will apply 70 them. It is hoped that this will prove ar great practical assistance to people desiring to plant q small garden, but who have not had experience in this art
 It is also requested that anyone who has a garden in successful oper- ation and who is willing to demon strate the practical management of q garden to groups of boys, will send their names iu, either telephoning to 772, or reporting their willingness to assist in this way to MT.

Malicious Prosecution

How difficult it is to make a of malicious prosecution stick is by opinion of the su- preme court last Saturday remanding in which plaintiff been given judgment There were four assignments the found that the first sufficient warrant reversal It was an instruc- ton by the trial that malice in law is the deliberate purpose to jure another excuse"
 It was admitted in the opinion that foregoing was definition O malice frequently found in the text books and in the opinions of judges and it is further admitted that as general proposition of law it correct But the opinion holds, and supports itself by numerous citations that statement of the law by an appellate court the trained legal mind is different thing trial courts instructions to a jury of laymen."
 We may say that there is usually malice in the heart of any prosecuting witness, otherwise there would be no prosecution. He has grievance he be- Iieves he has wronged by the defendant or he would instituted criminal proceedings against him Now and then action for the good state, but usually the motive is to punish for injuries done the prosecuting witness by some volator of the law. He may suspect and reasonably though erroneously that innocent man has injured him. He has simply made mistake. he could be punished that the investigation of the guilt of man who is actually guilty would be undertaken with great risk, authority cited in the opinion says, Few could be found who would be willing to originate criminal prosecution, if failure to establish the guilt of the accused he himself was to be subjected to an onerous and expensive suit"
 That criminal prosecutions have been begun pure ly out of revenge for the harassment of individuals or for the collection of debts and without just cuse whatever malice there may have been behind the prosecution is true but such probably few in comparison with the whole number of where prosecution results in the acqaittal of the accused

It should be the earnest Christian business of every one who has become convinced that under the law of God, evil is not power, to know, steaufastIy, persistently, and systematically, now and why evil is not power. To the hu- man senses, evil seems to have huge and unmerciful power. The good peo- ple who have gone about believing the materiality of the world to be get ting better. believing men and nations too good to break forth in barbarous warfare-and many of us have been Of this persuasion-have been shocked to different views by recent world events And now, it is not, for mankind, question of ignoring the worlds evil by an easy going tolerance, but Of de2llng with it, in it's world wide and flaming upheaval, to. it's full and eventful re- straint and destruction.

Why We Are Fighting

We are not going into the for sentimental reasons We not going to send to France because France once sent men to us in an hour of need Nor fighting the Germans because the Germans are fighting the English whose language speak and to whom the most of bear the relation of descent.
 The people, some of the people of a nation may be sentimental but nations themselves not. They are impersonal They moved by of the tons which sway individuals such gratitude or revenge. Nations their backs upon the past gard the present and look to the future
 When first talked of sending to France. sentimenaliss recalled and they doing yet. that about pay debt of than century's standing to return the assistance France lent when in peril But assistance against whom? The embarassing-G Britain whose peril closely locked with that of France So when recall that debt of gratitude to France, only reminded that if we owe that owe debt of another kind incurred at precisely the time to Great Britain and that the present circumstances make it impossible for repay both debts The reminder is therefore awkward one The Germans might while the debt paying business is in progress remind us that Frederick the Great also assistance in the revolutionary by throwing obstacles in the way of England.
 Our entangling relations with all three of these nations within the last century and half illustrates why national friendships and national emnties can- not be perpetual that they influenced by stanty changing circumstances; that groups of tions formed and changed like the figures of the kaleidoscope that allies of today be the enemies of tomorrow; that alliances purely matters of convenience necessity and that when alliance ceases to be advantageous to a nation, rather, when it becomes disadvantageous in other circum- stances it is dissolved; the groups reformed the new figure is maintained until shifting circum- stances make formation necessary.
 We forced into this war and the absurdity of either nation or individual claiming to be paying debt of gratitude which forced to pay, is apparent. As a nation cared nothing for the the peril which threatened them menaced us only from greater distance. We perceived that it would be better to prepare to meet this peril while had company. Our interest, purely national imper- sonal interest became identical with the national in- terests of France and Great Britain That is why we are in the war and the only in it.
 When in the trenches their motives will be various. Some will be paying debt to France; will be fighting in defense mother country and some will be fighting only for America while others will be fighting for the pure joy of fighting. That will be entirely different matter It will make difference, each gives good account of him. self why he is fighting But the nation will be fighting for itself alone. for the present and the future.
