Bond Market Inactive.

Dealings in securities other than stocks
and Liberty bonds are extremely lin
tied at present and the market is de-
scribed as dull and inactive. Several
weeks ago, just before the market went
dead. several far sighted traders sold
their long securities On the ground that
the approaching Victory Loan, campaign
would deaden the bond and note market
and that II it did not do so there would
bt plenty of new issues for them to pur-
chase. Whether the bond and note mar
kets dulness is due to the usual Feb
ruary quiet or to the approach of the
sale OF Government securities to the
public the expectations Of these traders
have been realized II is row net pro.
pitious for corporations to offer new bonds
and notes, although relatively small
quantity can be absorbed. Little i'm
provement Is expected in the bond and
short term note market,until the Victory
Loan has been completed.

been forced, but the Judges declaration
that "the steel industry is in better con-

Princeton Team Loses:

Last Friday afternoon the Mora
high school basketball team came to
Princeton and trimmed the Princeton
high school team to the tune of 16 to
IL. McGilvray of Mora was the big
star of the game, making six baskets.
Herdliska and Oelschlager did we'll.
for Princeton. The first half was one.
of the hardest fought ever seen on the
armory floor, with the Mora boys hav-
ing the better luck. The teams played
themselves out in the first half and
neither did much in the second half.
The Princeton boys are optimistic and
say that Mora will have to do it again
before they will admit that it has the,
better team. H..
Tomorrow night Cambridge Will
play the local high school team on the.
armory floor at 8 O'Clock. A battle
royal is expected, as Cambridge and
Princeton have always been bitter en-
emies. Come out and see good game.

legume as soil improver. Mixed with
bluegrass, it makes pasture Of near
" double the carrying capacity of
bluegrass alone. It may be used to
good advantage for silage, and on
some farms, with proper management,
it is a profitable crop. Farmers bull
letin 1905, recently issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, gives details of management and
the more important farm practices
followed on many of the successful
corn-belt farms on which sweet clover
is grown as one of the principal crops
of the rotation.
Hitherto sweet clover has been
grown mainly on odd fields outside Of
any set rotation or cropping system,
says the bulletin, but the fact that it
is found growing as weed along
roadsides is no indication that it will
thrive in adjacent fields.

Potato Prices Decline.

With the exception Of Ohios all va
rieties of potatoes have taken drop
in price in the local market of from 10
to rs cents per cwt. Triumphs, which
in last weeks quotation were 81 to
SIPS per cwt., have gone down to
rs a 80 cents and buyers say that a
further drop is anticipated.
Despite the low prices growers are
bringing in large quantities of pota-
toes which are being purchased at
prices which appear in our market,
printed elsewhere in this paper. The
situation appears to be similar to that
of last season.
The potato market is a peculiar
proposition-the farmer can never tell
when it is going up or going down.
Last seasons market was a conun-
drum to those who grew potatoes, but
it had nothing over this seasons. It
would seem that the farmer who mar
kets his potatoes early is generally
the winner in the long run.
Shipments have been heavy during
the week and consisted largely of seed
stock transported to southern states.
Warehouses in the village at this
time have but small stocks on hand.

To Encourage Sabotage.


The Townley dictatorship of North
Dakota goes on record as inviting all
of the criminal deviltry which has
crlmsoned the career of the I. w. w.
through the various industrial disturb
ances of the past several years. By
solid nonpartisan league vote, the low
er house of the legislature killed a bill
proposing to make it crime to adj
vocate sabotage. It was not objection
to the form of the bill, but to it's pur-
pose. Bolshevism, l. w. W.-ism and
Townleyism are in close triple alliance
in North Dakota and this bill aimed a
deadly blow at one of the active part
ners. The action of the North Dakota
management is notice to the world that
the shield Of law is thrown about the.
preaching of criminal violence in that
hapless commonwealth. It is sequen-
tial that what can be preached with
approval may be practiced with inn
punity.
Agriculture is 95 per cent of the
industrial activity of North Dakota.
The form that criminal sabotage nat
urally would take is throwing rock
into the gears of threshing machine.
The prospect for the farmer of that
state is made more fascinating with
every development of the nonpartisan
league program.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Influenza Serums.

Colonel F. F. Russell Of the army

Gin view of the exaggerated and in
some respects misleading statements
that have appeared in the public press
regarding the value Of bacterial vac
cines in the prevention and treatment
of influenza and the pneumonias which
SO often complicate it, the following
statement is made
"The evidence that has been present
ed thus far does not warrant the re-
posing Of confidence in any influenza
vaccine for either prophylactic or Their
apeutic purposes"
Whether harm may have come to the
thousands inoculated during the exper-
iments with the various vaccines we
are not told.

The French Position.

General Gouraud stated the French
position in an address to the American
soldiers thus:
"Now when peace is signed you are
going home across the sea. The En-
glish are going home, too. But France
stays where she is.
Marshal Foch has told you that
France is the barrier protecting civ
ilization, and so France and civiliza-
ton must be protected.
"You gentlemen have seen the char
acter of the Germans along the
Rhine. You know there is no democ-
racy in their hearts. You know that
their fawning attitude is as false as it
can be. And so I say to you, France
wants no such people in her republic
1--WE don't want to annex Germany
up to the Rhine, but we do intend to
see that the German military machine
stays behind the river. That is what
Marshal Foch meant, I believe. If we
don't have that protection, France
must maintain always an enormous
army to guard civilization.
with our great loss of life in the
war that would be a terrible burden
for France. We must have natural
barrier or else it would be madness to
demobilize our army.
81 hope that Americans will see it
in the same way. hope that the soft
words of the Germans will not con-
vince the Americans that the leopard
has changed his spots. So far I am
unconvinced that the Germans of to-
day are not the Germans of yesterday,
the foes of the ideals of America, the
ideals Of France, the ideals of civiliz-
alton, the foes of all that is desired in
the hearts of mankind"

the discard, the United States senate
having failed to adopt the house res
olution for submission of the con-
stitutional amendment. This puts the
measure to sleep for the present ses-
sion at least, and what else could the
suffragists expect after turning the
vicinity of the white house into YER
liable. bedlam and causing the police
endless trouble? Anyway it is good
thing this nuisance of bill has been
disposed of. Congressman were con-
tinually bothered by the she-lobbyists

sidering the issue while vastly
more important measures awaited at

Soldiers and Y. Nj. c.. A.

The following from the Preston
Times, comedies with the stories told
us by Princeton boys who recently re-
turned from France:
"The criticism of the war work of
the Young Mems Christian association
still persists, and it is obvious that
where there is much smoke there must
be some fire. It is contended that this
benevolent association is commercial,
overcharging the soldiers for tobacco
and other materials of comfort, a
grave charge, especially when consid-
cred in connection with the many mil
lions raised by popular subscription
for the war work Of the organization.
Such a charge calls for the best de-
Tense possible, but it does not appear
to be the whole of the matter. 1t is
significant that returning soldiers
praise the Salvation army and criticise
the Y. NJ. G. A., alleging that the one
pushed into danger in order to succor
and comfort the boys on the firing line
while the other did not. But it would
appear that there is more than this.
8 "As far back as the spring Of 1917
an English paper, the Manchester
Guardian, was quoted as saying that
if the Y. M. C. A. is ''the blacksuited
and prudish solemnity" it is said to
be, it twill die of derision or worse
in France in a week" Perhaps the
chief cause of criticism is: here indi-
Gated. There is time for all things,

but after a bloody battle is no time to
run a doughboy down and insist that
a cup of weak tea is better for his NOR
ais than a cigarette. Apparently the.
Salvation army called the boys to,
prayers when possible, but made their
comfort its main concern; even brav-
ing danger with this end in view, and
mostly leaving the fighting mans NOR
ais in his own keeping: Apparently
the Y. M. C. A., on the other hand,
made the mistake of regarding the
weary soldiers conscience more i'm
portant business than the comfort of
his body or the pleasurable diversion
Of his mind"

Tribute to Work of M. C. Hayes.

Tribute to Werk of M. c. Hayes.
San Antonio Inquirer:
The subject of this sketch is M. c..
Hayes, formerly superintendent of the
public schools of Princ..on, MIMI, who
at the beginning of the war sacrificed
his personal interest and the interest
of his beloved family to enter the SER
vice of our government as director of
war camp community service. =
Being young man, full of ambition
and the courage of his convictions, he
consecrated himself to the services of
his government and endeavored at all
times to do the most good to the larg
est number, regardless of their race,
creed, or previous conditions of SER
vitude, realizing always that all men
are born equal.
On coming to San Antonio about the
first of December last, Mr.. Hayes was
in charge Of the war camp community
service here for seven weeks, during
which time the colored community
house was completed. Just after he
began his work here he received his
honorable discharge from the govern
ment. Being intensely interested in
the future welfare of the colored COM
munity house. he remained here and
worked unselfishly daily in the COOP
GRAFTON with the directors of the COL
ored library association until the mag
nifcent building was completed, fur
rished and dedicated and the COM
munity house in operation. The unique
method employed by him in adjusting
the affairs of the community house en-
deared him to the colored citizenship
of San Antonio.
Mr.. Hayes, though a young man of
modest disposition, has strong per-
sonality, which bespeaks a great fu-
ture for this noble character. .--,-s
