about Olson that would
prove beyond a doubt
that he really did make
many disloyal and unpa-
triotic remarks during
the summer. He said
also that there was con-
siderable space in the
book allotted to Mr..
Ream, chairman of the
executive committee of
the Nebraska Nonparti-
san league and head of
the state Grange, charg-
ing that Ream was a So
cialist. The book also
contained, Palmer said,
copies of correspondence
which Quigley claimed he
had had with Ream, and
also with other members
of the committee. In
this book Quigley made
charges of lack of patri-
otism against O. S.
Evans, Jesse Johnson,
Greenwood and, in fact,
all the League leaders in
the state. These charges,
through my connection
with the League, I knew
to be absolutely false.

Says It Is The Obituary to

Nations
QUUTES PKESI-
DENT WILSON
Says Clemenceau Has His Way
and Wilson Traded With
French Premier

Washington, July 6.-The new treaty
with France, by which that nation is
promised American aid in case Of an
unpreyeked attack by Germany, WAS
described as 'the premature obituary
OF the league of nations as a leasue
of peace" in a statement issued to-
night by Senator Borah, Republican.
of Idaho. The senator also charged
that the promise was made by Presl-
dent Wilson to purchase French sup
port for the league plan.
The French -British-Un States
alliance" said the statement, is bas-
ed upon theory of war, it is made IN
expectation Of war, it is like all such
alliances, a war alliance. Could there
be more open confession by the
authors of the league that the league
means neither peace nor disarmament.
"a short time before the president
left for Europe he said, special al
dances have been the prolific cause
in the modern world Of the plans and
passions that produce war Yet, not
withstanding this statement very
frankly made we are now asked to
draw a line through Washington's
farewell address, put behind US the
policy of our government during its
entire life and enter into special al
lance, an alliance which will include
Great Britain ard France and pos
sibly. Italy and Belgium. for both in
dicated a desire to get in.
Upon the same occasion he de-
cIared, tthere can be no alliance with
in the general league Of nations. In
the face of this statement there is to
be formed within this league spe-
cial alliance and this special alliance
is to be formed upon the initiative OF
the authors of the league Of nations.
This special alliance will lead IN
evitably in fact will compel ether
nations TO form special alliances. we
are to have league for peace 2nc
within the league for peace an al
lance for war. That is like advising
a friend to try patent medicine cure
all but to be sure to have his physician
and a stomach pump at hand.
Upon another occasion after the
president had most earnestly de-
neunced such alliances as being the
authors of the wars and the intoier-
able conditions of Europe. he used
this language: The United States Will
not enter into any special arrange
ments and understandings with par
ticular nations
.Wnson met the challenge in his
speech at Manchester. England, bu;
Ilemenceau has his way.
This alliance is the premature
obituary of the league Of nations as
q. league of peace. The real eSplana-
ton of this situation is this, that
Cemenceau demanded the special al
lance as a consideration for his sup
port of the league Of nations. And we
traded with him.

A Few Reasons Why Every
Farmer Should Grow Soy
Beans

/. They are fine for feed and fine
for fertility.
3. Time of planting extends from
early spring until midsummer, de-
pending on latitude and use to be
made of the crop.
3 For grain or as main nay crop,
the best time is about that for plant
ing corn, when the ground has be-
come thoroughly warm.
a. AS pasture, green manure, SOIL
ing, or even as hay crop, the soy
bean may be sown as late as August
1st.
5. Soy beans are more generally
grown with corn than with any
other crop and may be combined adj
vantageously in many systems or
crop rotations.
6. The growing of soy bean seed
enables the farmer to produce at a
moderate cost, part Of the high pro-
tein concentrates necessary for stock
feed and milk production.
Z. Soy bean straw is valuable
feed for all kinds of stock.
8. The SOY bean will yield from one
to three tons of hay TO the acre.
9. Soy bean hay is equal or superior
to any other leguminous crop: The
use of this hay as a source of pro
tein to balance feeds for growing stock
or for milk, should reduce the guam
tity of high priced concentrated feeds
which it is necessary to purchase.
TO- The soy bean can be utilized as
a pasture for all kinds Of STOCK, the
most profitable method prehaDs being
to pasture with hogs, supplementing
theocorn ration.
