MAN WHO DOESN'T GROW UP

insufficient occupation and the con-
sciousness of no. being of much use
nearly always explain the man who
does not grow up. There may have
ben period in his life when he was
an admired ornament of society, when
his cleverness was applauded, when
his violent assertions and rash criti-
cism and absured resentment were
listened to as the outpourings of an
interesting and awakening mind and
were valued perhaps for some facility
in utterance: but the mind has not
matured, perhaps because it never
was forced TO grapple with anything
vital, and the facility in utterance
that was a charm in youth has dwin-
died with years to peevish flueney n
objection, censure and condemnation.

Save Clover For
Seed

Drought during the summer of 1913
and the war have caused shortage in
red clover and crimson clover seed, and
it is important in sections where seed
can be profitably grown that as many
acres Of clover be left for seed as can
be used without seriously interfering
with crop rotation. If the second crop
is to be left for seed, the possibility Of
a good crop will be greatly increased
if the first crop is cut early. This is
especially tru1 If there is any danger
from the clover flower midge Early
cutting of the first crop may result
in a smaller tonnage of hay and hay
not quite as nutritious, but it will des-
troy the midge. If the field is badly
affected with midge and the larvae
have had time to mature, a good seed
crop is out of the question. A care
full examination of the field should be
made for midge about the middle of
June. For further detailed instruc-
tion see Farmers Bulletin 971.
In sections where mammoth clover
is grown fields intended for seed
should be rolled during June. This
will cause the stems to lie close to the
ground. The flower heads will then
bend up and can be harvested, leaving
q large part Of the clover upon the
ground to be turned under for fertil-
izer. This will reduce the amount

comes naturally by it, having been

all. Piano, violin and vocal chord are
all alike with him. He just puts on

Soldiers Given
Good Training
GOVERNMENT TOOK MEN OUT OF
CIVIL LIFE AND WILL NOW RE-
ESTABLISH THEM THERE

In his work throughout the country
in behalf of discharged service men,
Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant, to
the secretary of war, in charge of find
ing employment for demobilized SOL
diers, sailors and marines, has learned
that in many sections people general
ly do not know just what the Govern
ment is doing to enable men in the line
of duty to re-establish themselves in
civil life
Inasmuch as the Government took
these men out Of civil life and placed
them in camps and in the trenches
where their disabilities were incurred,
the obligation upon the Government
to re-establish them in clear. And
it should be understood that those in
| jured in France are not the only ones
entitled 90 assistance, for all disabled
service men, whether injured in the
United States or abroad, are provided
for equally.
For re-establishing the disabled in
civil life, the authorized agency of the
Government is the Federal Board of
Vocational Education, which is charg-
ed by Congress with the vocational
training of disabled soldiers and the
placement of rehabilitated persons in
suitable and gainful occupation" af-
ter their discharge from the Army.
The Government, it will be noted,
not only trains the disabled man, thus
enabling him to assume again with un-
impaired efficiency, the responsible
ties of civil life, but also assists him
in securing employment a. the end of
his period training.
In some large cities crippled men
in uniform are seen on the street en-
gagged in panhandling" kindly dis
posed persons. 1t has been found that
in nearly every case these men were
just plain ordinary fakirs in the guise
of soldiers, who took this method of
enlisting unmerited sympathy from
the public There is no excuse for
these fakirs. No man disabled in the
service need engage in any sort of
holdup game on the streets nor need
he engage in any occupation whatev-
er which is not becoming to him. Any
one seeing men in uniform so engaged
should inform them to provision made
for their training and placement by
the government. If any man after be-
ing informed what his opportunities
are continues his game, favor will
be done the great body of self-respect-
ing disabled men who are trying to
make something of themselves if ey-
cry case of this character is reported
to the nearest branch office of the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
tion.
IF any disabled service man who is
considered by the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance to be as much as 10 per cent
disabled, will get in touch with the

Partly Lift Embargo
on English Sailings
By dstoofafrd P1s,.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The en-
barge against the sailing of shipping
board vessels to Great Britain was
partly lifted to-day by the Shipping
Board as a result of the ending OF
the railroad strike there.
Agents of the board at Atlantic
and Gulf ports were instructed to
clear and dispatch Immediately all
vessels now completely loaded and
to proceed with the loading of ves-
sells for which the cargo Is at the
docks or booked. The agents were
instructed, however, not to resume
bookings beyond commitments al
ready made.
There was no indication to-day
when the embargo would be lifted
completely but immediate action
was not expected because of the
congestion at the docks in Great
Britain which has resulted from the
strike of railway workers.
