IOWA HOUSE WILL
TAKE ACTION ON
HARDING TODAY

Des Moines. Ia. April 16.-Final
action was expected late today il
the Iowa house of representatives
on recommendations of its judic-
iary committee for Impeachment or
censure of Governor W. l.. Harding
for his part in the Rathbun pardon
case.
The minority report urging cen
sure of the chief executive was the
first proposal before the house. and
if adopted. it would end the mat
ter. Should it be rejected, how
ever. the house would then vote on
the majority recommendation for
impeachment.
Renewed claims were made by
Harding supporters that sufficient
votes were assured to accept the
censure recommendation, which
would be tantamount to defeat of
the impeachment recommendation.

Berlin. Tuesday. April l5.-Semi-
official French announcements of
the conditions TO be laid down in

that, instead of leading to disarm-

ported to the White house to-
day from Paris. It was indi-
Gated that excellent progress

cluding the negotiations.
Paris, Tuesday, April 15.-(By

Gil of four today discussed ques-
tions relative to Schleswig- -Hol-

up the draft of articles for the

by Germany of allied

BIGGER LICE
 IS GOOD HAY
SOUNDS RATHER FUNNY TO PEo PILE WHO DO NOT HANDLE OR EAT HAY, BUT STILL THEY
 SAY IT IS TRUE.

For long long time people from Little Rock have travelled up aud down the Missouri Pacific railroad west of this city, and in passing Palarm, have pointed out the wonder ful alfalfa crop on the Cazort farm across from the station. It would be a beautiful alfalfa crop. if it only was alfalfa, but according to R. E. Dent who is in charge of the plantation, ii is in reality common old "beggar lice"
 Mir Dent claims that beggar lice yes, the common old kind that sticks so to your eolthing and everyone from the chore boy to the cotton pick CT has cussed-is superior to alfalfa as a hap crop. Now, MT. Dent should know, for he is a practical farmer, and it is his business to grow things that stock take a fancy to. MT Dent says that the beggar 1ice-or if sin- gular is better, louse-is cut before the seed pods form and the hay bale like alfalfa. He claims that stock like it better than the kind of hay most people thought was the best in
 the world and that it cures and keeps better
 If MT. Dent has kept this secret, but the secret is out now and other farmers may investigate and take ad- vantage of his discovery.

PRESSES
 USED FOR HAY
WIDE TIRED WAGONS NOW ALSO IN DEMAND SHOWING THAT FARMERS WANT TO SAVE
 THEIR GOOD ROADS.

Tn spite of the heavy demand for automotive implements for farm and road work, we are right now up to our eyes in delivering the wide tired New Stoughon wagon for which we are state distributors" stated Tom shannon Of the Turner Shannon Com pany, Saturday morning.
 We are selling many of these 10 road contractors, but the farmers are also buying them, which shows that they want to protect the roads they are building
 The demand for hay presses is something unusual, and it does not come as much from the prarie coun- try as person would suppose. We have sold great number of power presses this year. Our Admiral hay press is equipped with an engine and it's capacity is far greater than that of the old horse power press.
 Alfalfa is being grown in great quantities in the lack lands of the state and the farmers who grow hay of this kind want the best presses to be obtained"
