Sweet Clover Is Valuable Soil Reno
vat0r and Excellent Forage for
Stock.

"Grow sweet clover" is the answer
for poor soil or WORKOUT pastures
which no longer support live stock
proftably, according to investigators
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, who have found that
thousands of acres of sweet clover
are furnishing annually abundant pas
turage for all kinds of stock on soil
where other crops made but little
growth.
In many portions of the Middle West
sweet clover bids fair to solve serious
pasturage problems, according to Far
mer's Union Bulletin 800 "Sweet Glow
er: Utilization" just issued. Native
pastures which no longer provided
more than a scant living for mature
steer on or 5 acres, when properly
seeded to sweet clover, will produce
sufficient forage to carry at least one
animal to the acre thruout the season.
Dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and hogs
all do we'll on sweet clover. Land
which is rough or too depleted for
cultivation or permanent pastures
which have become thin and weedy
may be improved greatly by drilling
in, after discing, few pounds Of sweet
clover seed per acre. Not only will
the sweet clover add considerably to
the quality and quantity of the pas
turage, but the growth of the grasses
will be improved by the addition of
large quantities Of humus and nitro
gen to the soil.
Sweet clover has proved to be an ex-
cellent pasturage crop on many of the
best farms in the North Central States
In this part of the country it is often
seeded alone and pastured from the
middle or the latter part of June until
frost, or it may be sown with grain
and pastured after harvest.

POTATO BUG IS
FARMER ENEMY
GET AFTER HIN

The State Council of Defense is
preparing for drive of Herr Potato
Bug, the most effective enemy of the
farmer in Wisconsin. The attack will
center in Waupaca and other coun-
ties.
The potato grower is advised to re-
member his experience of 1916. Not
over 100000 bushels of potatoes,
less than half crop, were harvested
in this state last year. Bug injury,
tip burn, arsenicaI burning combined
with dry, hot season caused this
serious damage to the potato crop.
The state council makes this main
point in dealing with the pest: Apply
poisons and do the work thoroly

intensive Taxation.

Last year when the Fort Lee Bor-
ough Club was trying to put plaus-
ible plan of equalization of assess
ments into operation, the Oracle
characterized the effort as refec-
ton on the administration. He fol-
lowed this with his ludicrous editorial
on "Taxing Town to Death"
There are two things that stand
out in the Oracle's unique career
as politician:
First, he is loyal to the administra-
ton to the last degree.
Second, he has done more to in
crease taxes than any other influence
in the borough, because he has aided
the administration in pulling the
wool over the public's eyes.
Why doesn't he "press agent" the
Leonia sewer that has gone whoop-
ing over cost of 100000 now, and
tell 'em all about how to build sewers
in the dark by the pussy foot, star
chamber plan? Tell 'em all about
how the borough of Fort Lee is the
only borough on earth that can even
afford to build 100000 sewer, and
speak of the days and nights of sacri-
ficing labor it cost the administra-
ton to build 100000 sewer; and
how it spent money like drunken
sailor for engineering, inspection
and surveying" and attorneys fees
and maps, and duplicate maps, and
profles, and commission expenses
and special attorney fees just to be
liberal, and then exploit this mar
vellous enterprise as the only one
like it on earth (that the people
didn't know anything about, and
tell 'em how Fort Lee leads the world
as borough that burrows sewers
obstacles, etc, and you know the
rest. Tell it to 'em Sir Oracle, tell
it to 'em, as only you know how. But
in heavens name keep quiet on the
water decision!

The trend towards peace is going
to be slow as a process. But it is due
at this time. The more the subject
is agitated the more liable is peace to
come. But the world does not want
peace at any price set by Germany,
and it is not going to have it that
way. If it did it would be a COM
plete German victory. The only way
for the world to sue for peace that
is worth while will be to lick the
tarnation stuffing out of the Cen
trail Powers. Germany, of course, is
the backbone of the war on that side
She will not yield until brought to
her knees. Shouting that she cannot
be conquered, Germany is surely rid
ing to fall, and it cannot come any
too soon. What change in world
affairs is due when the German
power is relegated to the things that
were-the scrap heap of civilization.
No German believes this possible,
but it is. And it will come, too.

The LaUyer-Judge.

The special article published else
where about claw Practice and the
Judge" is not meant to be personal
except in so far as the cap may fit
the individual. There it is very per-
sonal because it should be. But then
there are heads too big to fit any
cap, so that our contributors am
munition may be wasted after all
However the moral is there. 1t must
bear fruit sometime, for the rule of
the people is absolute, and aftera-
while their sober judgment will be
against the lawyer-judge, and it will
assert itself at the ballot box. The
idea of killing off this sort of adj
vantage is mighty good plank to
put in somebody's platform. That it
is most worthy issue could readily
be established as is plainly told in
the article to which reference IS here
made.

Time to Save

lime 10 Save
There is only one thing certain
about the financial and commercial
conditions that peace is going to
bring and that is their uncertainty.
1t may be that an era of great pros
perity may be upon us; it may be an
era of stagnation; it may be an era
of the severest competition we have
ever experienced.
1t involves paradox, but in this
present time of comparative COM
mercial peace, for the great war has
largely stopped for time the strug-
gle among nations for foreign COM
merce, it is a wise thing to prepare
for the economic war that will sue
coed the present worldwide war.
1t is well for every American citi-
zen to lay aside in some absolutely
safe security something for that day
that is coming. If it be great pros
perity one will be able to take ad-
vantage of it. If it be stagnation
one will be enabled to live through it.
If it be bitter competition one will
be better able to withstand it.
No better provision could be made
for the future than an investment in
Liberty Loan Bonds. They are alb
solutely safe and no possible condi-
ton can destroy their value; exempt
from all taxation except estate or in
heritance taxes the income from them
cannot be lessened; with market
everywhere in the United States and
as competent financial authorities
assert, market in every commercial
center in the world when peace
comes, they will be readily convert
ible into cash. They possess all of
the elements that would attract a
sound investing mind in times of un-
certainty.
More than that an American citi-
zen investing in Liberty Loan Bonds
is investing in victory, for the pro-
ceeds of the Liberty Loan Bonds are
to win the war and bring peace in
Europe and peace and safety to the
rest of the world.

The Coming Higher Taxes.

The hint by the Oracle's organ ir
Fort Lee that there is going to be
higher taxes and it's attempt tc
justify them has not been met with
a degree of warmth that might have
been expected. Indeed, it has brought
out large amount of resentment.
Why should taxes be raised
Heaven knows they are high enough
now, and far beyond their legitimate
right to climb. Generally where
taxes go up there are some visible
evidences of what they are for. But
here we may look around and se4
nothing.
The Borough Hall? Alas Wher}
is it? Good roads? Full of hole
and bumps-vide Bluff road. Elk
tension of Palisade avenue?
heavens name, look at it! Play
grounds for children? Where ard
they? Extension on Palisade school
to give the children a gymnasium
and the town a public hall? Not
even thought of! The 100000
Leonia Heights sewer? Planted!
And the bill of costs? Yet to come!
Per centage Of cost on that particu-
lar sewer? Heaven alone knows
how much it will be! With figure
jugglers at work, it can mean any
thing.
The Leonia sewer is something, al
will have to admit. But there the
imagination is halted.
Higher taxes indeed! There should
be lower taxes by 100 points than we
are paying. And any good business
management would lower them, too
The borough is now quite well off ir
assets. The great moving picture in
{ terests are worth more, perhaps
than all the other property in the
borough. But do they pay an equa
sum of taxation?

Citizens Club In Politics.

The Citizens Club, of Cliffside
Park, has decided to enter politics.
A civic organization that has accom-
plished many needed reforms and
taken an active interest in many i'm
provements is preparing to plunge
into the vortex of political activities
with the prime view of furthering
the clubs ideas of reforms and i'm
provements.
Many of the improvements of the
Citizens Club met with stern resist
ance in the past from politicians
who fought for political principles.
And it was with view to meet this
opposition that forced the club into
the areona
1t will be interesting to note the
results. That the clubs action will
have some bearing on the local poll
teal fight is certain. From one end
of the borough to the other the ques-
ton arises: "Who is their candi-
date 2" But Sphinx-like silence now
prevades where free-fowing oratory
held forth. The members of the
Citizens Club Know the game of
politics and they can be depended on
to play it as shrewdly as the occa-
sion warrants.
The action brings up the age-old
question of the value of a purely
civic organization in politics. Should
a civic club be successful in placing
candidate of it's choice in an cleo
tive Office, will not the political eff
feet destroy to certain extent the
civic duties of the organization
And then again, the organization
must maintain majority to get re-
suits, for mere representation, when
in the minority, would prove value
less.
But these question have, no doubt,
been thrashed out by members of
the Citizens Club and we must wait
and watch for their Candidates and
their platform.

care great deal about public af-
fairs as a whole, is only too evident.
Take the average town or village, or
city, for that matter, what a really
Indifferent per centage of men under
take to serve the public in any ca
pacity. 1t is the most difficult thing
in the world to get them to lay hands
on anything that leans toward a
public betterment. They even re-
fuse to turn out and vote unless
hauled to the polls. 1t is the custom
nowadays for voters to sit back and
wait for the "party automobile" to
carry them out to vote. Of course,
they should be ashamed of them
selves.
Just what actuates men in this
state of Indifference is puzzle. As
for such thing as getting down I'd
public service by manual labor,
heaven forfend the thought! They
won't do it. Now, there is a psyche
logical reason for this attitude
What is it? 1t is strange, and, nc
doubt, is due in large measure to a
lack of proper leadership. Men
must be led to bring out the best
endeavors in them.
Service is the greatest offering any
man can make for his community.

The Pope's Automatic Ans1Der.

=
The answer to the Pope's appeal
for peace has been automatic. 1t
struck dull ears. There has been
every evidence of confidence in his
wisdom, intent and meaning. His
message of peace proposal was
merely listened to, not acted upon.
The sentiment of the world is
against Germany at this time. There
seems to be and is worldwide de-
sire for peace, but not at the sacri-
flee Of world-honor, justice and rights.
To surrender a contest now that has
been fought on such slaughtering
lines, and against the law of civilized
nations, against all recognized rules
of warfare, would be complete sur
render to Germany, to Prussianism.
This grasping, arrogant, power-loving
system will be put down before there
is talk of peace. Whatever may be
the truth of the Pope's plea being of
Austro- German origin, the Allies
are simply marking time over it. 1t
maybe that America and her asso-
ciates in arms will do the Pope the
courtesy of reply, but even this is
not necessary. Silence is perhaps
the best answer anyhow-not in dis
courtesy or lack of feeling, but be-
cause there is nothing to say. Every
nation now fighting Germany has an
nounced it's purpose in the war. Why
repeat?
