Cardinal Gibbons on the League.

In an interview pertaining to the
league of nations and the peace treaty
Cardinal Gibbons is quoted by the
Baltimore American as saying:
The peace treaty is today the big.
gest and most important task con
fronting the world. Once the peace
treaty has been signed, then the
league Of nations or any other prop
osition can be taken up. I am of
the belief that the peace treaty
should come first, and that the league
OF nations, should not interfere With
1t or in any way delay it's being sig gned.
AT present / am not going to make
statement on the league Of nations
except to say that speed should be
used by the allies in getting the cove
nant of peace signed. Every days de-
lay is serious, as it strengthens the
position of the enemy, since it gives
him "a chance to ask for delay on his
part. A delay also makes for con-
fusion and a prolongation Of the nego-
tlations. and may result in reiec-
tion of some of the terms by the
enemy.
The reason say that the signing
OF peace is more important than the
league of nations is because of the
great unrest now goings on in Europe.
is spreading there rapidly
If peace can be signed this can be
stamped out"

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE !
Begins Monday and Everyone Should
Subscribe to the Full Limit of
His or Her Capacity.
Loan to be in Form of Gold Notes
Maturing in Four Years and
Bearing Az Per Cent.

The Victory loan drive will begin
next Monday, April 21, and everyone
should subscribe to the limit of his
capacity for the government needs the
money.
Minnesota has been allotted $92,-
100000 of the Victory liberty loan and
the ninth districts quota is $157 $780,
900 out of a total for the nation of
$4,000 ,OO0, 900. The rate of interest
will be AZ per cent. The unexpected
small amount of the loan and the high
rate of interest have brought great
JOY to the workers of the ninth federal
district.
AS announced by the treasury de-
partment the Victory liberty loan
will take the form Of gold notes ma
turing in four years. These notes
will be exempt from state and local
taxes, except estate and inheritance
taxes, and also from normal federal
income taxes. These notes will be
convertible, at the option of the holder,
throughout their life, into 3A per
cent four-year notes Of like maturity
and exempt from all federal, state and
local taxes except estate and inheri-
tances taxes. Notes of both series
will be dated and bear interest from
May 20, 1919, and will mature on May
20, 1923. If the loan is oversubscribed,
as is probable, only subscriptions of
$4,000 and less will be allotted in
full.
Terms of this issue have been based
upon the desire to devise a security
which will not only prove attractive
to the people but insure good market
for the notes and not affect adversely
the market for the existing govern
ment securities.
Theodore Void, governor of the
Federal Reserve bank, comments as
follows: "The terms of the Victory
Ten per cent with application, on or
bic, the amount to be raised in this
(the ninth) district is so comparative
ly small, that to my mind there is alb.
solutely no doubt that the loan will
be oversubscribed."
A. r. Rogers. chairman of the Cen
tral Liberty Loan committee. ex-
presses satisfaction over the terms of
the loan. sEThe Victory notes are the
finest securities ever issued by the
United States," says Mr.. Rogers.
People in this district and all over the
United States will take them because
they appreciate their value as an in
vestment and because they believe in
their government. The treasury de-,
partment's announcement of terms
should dispel the least trace of pas
sion, and this has been the cause of
our only fear about the overwhelming
success of the loan"
Now let everyone put. his or her
shoulder to the wheel and assist in
making the drive success.

Minneapolis to issue 100000 worth of
bonds to increase the police force. The
bill, which was introduced at the re-
quest of Chief of Police j. Frank
Walker, would provide for about 100
additional police. It is evident from
the prevailing state of affairs that Min.
neapolls either needs more patrolmen
or those of greater efficiency. Bank
robbers and highwaymen are turning
the city upsidedown with firearms and
impunity and making their getaway.
After having been sidetracked re-
peatedly and finally after reposing on
the table for a week, Representative
w. A. Pettinger's bill abolishing the
state public safety commission, passed
the house Monday afternoon by a
vote of LOG to 13. So hastily was the
bill passed that money owned various
counties by the safety commission
was left unprovided for. Both the
vets and drys thought the safety COM
mission had been protected sufficiently
long, and now that the war is over it
should make an accounting and quit.
The senate has passed the bill fixing
the salaries and clerk hire of the coun-
ty auditor, county treasurer, clerk Of
district court and register Of deeds in
counties having seventy or more than
eighty full or fractional congressional
townships.
The senate has passed the Corning
Nimmocks house bill requiring the
registration of automobile ownership
and record of all sales, as protection
against automobile thieves.
The senate on Tuesday passed the
Nordlin bill providing for the restora-
tion of citizenship to persons convict
ed of felony but whose sentences have
been suspended. The bill has also
passed the house.

Two Kinds of Barberry Described.

not only because the law demands it.
but on account of the heavy loss of
wheat and other grains caused by even
one bush. The Japanese barberry is
a valuable plant easily distinguished
from the common variety by the fol-
lowing description:
The japanese barberry is USUALLY
from 2 to 4 feet in height and has
somewhat spreading, reddish brown
stems, while the common barberrv
grows to a height of from 4 to 8 feet.
with its stems mostly upright and of
gray or grayish green color. The
splnes on the Japanese barberry are
mostly single while on the common
barberry they are usually in groups of
three. The spines on the former are
generally smaller than on the latter.
also. The buds and leaf clusters on
the japanese variety are about one
half inch apart. The leaves of the
Japanese plants are spoon shaped.
smooth around the edges and green.
whereas those Of the other kind are
large and broad, have spiny teeth
along the edges and are either green
or purple. The Japanes flowers and
fruit grow singly or in long clusters.
while those on the other grow in small
clusters.
To destroy the common barberrv
dig it up, being careful to get the
whole crown and the large roots so
that it may not sprout again.

Fred Manke got out Of breath so
badly, chasing chairs and tables for
the ever increasing crowd, that his

next year:
Lieutenant Hofflander was unable to
obtain necessary blue prints from
France and therefore his scientific lee
ture on the French sewer systems was
also postponed and will later be de-
livered before the local board of health
If they will stand for it.
Dad HilPs baked beans were the
culinary treat of the evening. They
were eagerly gobbled up to the last
bean, and we noticed Bob Berg and
Bill Roos, two of the kitchen detail,
anxiously shaking dice to see which
one of them should have the last dish,
which they had surreptitiously hid be-
hind the kitchen range.
Joe Mossman and Mayor Vande-
vanter worked in the kitchen during
lunch time until they were politely in
formed by the head cook that they
were hired to pass out the grub and
lot to pass it into their own ca
pacious maws.
In all there were SO different kinds
of card games going at one time.
Everything from Casino to a new
game of cards peculiar to the Ameri-
can army, and in which the players
keep score with matches. We noticed
several devotees of this game in ac-
ton.
Dame Rumor has it that this wasn't
the only stag party on the boards that
night. Some of the ladies of the vii
village cooked up a quiet little party
all their own in the absence of their
unnecessary menfolks, and had the
real, live-wire entertainment of the
evening. Rumor also says that some
of the men folks, returning home from
their own party, saw the lights in the
hall where the real, honest-to-goodness
stag" party was being pulled off,
organized an impromptu raid on the
ladies' commissariat, were ignomin-
iously defeated and driven off by the
"stags," who hastily armed themselves
with brooms, rolling pins and other
kitchen utensils and put the dis
gruntled and jealous he-persons to
route. If you have noticed any of our
distinguished citizens sporting black
eyes, bruises or suspicious scratches
you may draw your own conclusions.
We understand that the Minneapolis
police have been looking for a young
woman with green pantalettes, a sus-
pect in bank holdup. Had one of
their city detectives covered this quiet
little party he would have had enough
clues of various kinds, descriptions
and colors to keep the whole city force
busy the rest of the year.
I'VE know not what the truth NAV be.
We tell it as twas told to me"

Not Dead but Sleeping.

The Princeton band is not dead but
sleeping. Briefly this covers the
present lethargic condition of the vii
lage band that at one time was the
pride and joy of this community. But
a few short years ago we had two
! excellent musical organizations in our
midst, the regular band and Professor
Noes junior band. Now, alas, we
have none, nor did we have one last
year. And this deplorable condition
exists Notwithstanding most of the
former bandsmen are still living here
and We understand there are enough
| band instruments around this town to
equip the famous Soussa outfit and still
have enough left over to start out
several clown bands on the side,
At o'clock on Friday evening,
April lS, at the office of Attorney E..
II. Peterson, meeting will be held
Tor the purpose of devising ways and
means of putting Princeton back on
the map with cracking good band.
All former members of either band,
and any new bandsmen who have
moved into this community, are cor
daily invited to attend this gathering
and express their views. Also the
businessmen and interested citizens
are requested to be present to give
their advice and express their senti-
ments.
Our present predicament reminds us
OF the boy and badger story. An old
resident, wandering through the woods
on his daily constitutional, came upon
boy busily engaged in digging into
a badger den. The oldtimer sized up
the situation at glance and remarked
to the boy in joking sort of way,
Sonnle, don't you know you can't dig
out badger?" The youthful steam
shovel looked up from his work long
enough to retort in very determined
voice, II just got to dig this one out,
Tor were going to have the Methodist
minister for dinner and Mas plumb
out of fresh meat"
In other words, we've just got to
have brass band. We have the tal-
ent, we have the instruments, equip
ment and ambition, and the main pur-
pose of this meeting will be to weld
these ingredients into an active. live
wire organization-one that the COM

Princeton is now laying the founda-

and it is the present intention of the

our donations of money to reconstruct
and rebuild the stricken districts of
Europe, but let's not forget to lend
helping hand to some of our institu-
tions that were also wiped out by the
war. Did you ever see live town

we going to do Memorial day, 4th of

WHAT FARMER WILL BECOME A
BENEFAcToR?

The Progressive Farmer and otheT
authorities. are confident that alfalfa
can be grown successfully in the
South, Florida included, if certain
conditions are complied with. the ne
glect of either enc will result in fail
ure.
Ii some Marion county farmer wiz
study these Conditions and comply
with them, and if he finds that this
plant can beS successfully grown IN
this county be will be more of
benefactor than the farmer who
made two blades OF grass grow where
only one grew before"
Alfalfa has produced a revolution
have proved a wealth producer to til
farmers almost equal TO a gold mine
or an oil gusiier.
The only way to make alfalfa grow
successfully, the Progressive Farmer
says that the following conditions
must be implicitly followed:
CD lime; ca drainage; 80 1nocu-
lation; (4) rich land; % a fine seed
bed. Let us how consider in detail
these essentials to alfalfa success.
Alfalfa is al lime loving crop, and
unless the soil is naturally well snip
Piled with lime, applications are ne
cessary if alfalfa is to succeed. How
ever, not less than one to two tons
per acre of burnt lime or two to four
tons of ground lime rock should be
applied. 8
Next to lack of lime poor drainage
is probably most responsible for the
frequent failufes with. alfalfa This
is crop that simply won't tolerate
wet feet" and failure is fairly GER
tain when it's planted on soil that
is liable evefto become water logged
for more than few hours at a time.
Our favorite method of incubation
is to use broadcast from 1000 to 1000
pounds per acre of soil taken from a
field where alfalfa or some crop util-
izing the same bacteria has been sue
cessfully gfbwn.
This soil may be scattered over the
fields and narrowed in at the same
time the seed are sowed. In the alb
sence of d supply of soil, artificial
cultures that are Iairly dependable
may be had from firms that special
ize on such preparations, or from the
United States department of agricul
ture in snfall quantities.
Alfalfa likes rich land and if it is
not rich it. should be made so before
planting. In the lime land sections
previously referred to, the soils are
often fertile enough to, grow alfalfa
without additional plant foods; but
on ordinary sandy and loan cotton
lands, eight to ten or twelve tons per
acre of good manure, supplemented
with 800 to 400 pounds OF acid phos-
phate, will be great help. 1t has
also been found profitable to precede
the fall-sowed alfalfa with a crop Of
peas, well worked to keep any grass
from making seed to choke the
young alfalfa the following spring.
AS a general rule we regardd fall
seeding of alfalfa preferable to
spring seeding. The date for fall
seeding will depend upon location
ranging from August Is in the ex-
treme upper south to as late as Oc-
tober Is in the lower south.
