Sweet Clover.

The man who has been thinking
that sweet clover is a weed is mis-
taken. The last report of the seed
Reporting Service of the United
States department. of agriculture
shows over a million and half
pounds of sweet clover seed mar
keted at an average price of about
Is cents pound. There are few
who have grown sweet clover who
do not praise it. Most ohjectors
have never grown the crop.
There is some talk Mt the pre-
>ent time about buying nitrate of
soda from South America to re-
plenish the nitrogen supply in the
soil. 1t takes about pound and
\ half of nitrogen to grow bush
el Of corn and two pounds to grow
n bushel Of wheat. Nitrogen in
the form of nitrate of soda recent
y cost the experiment station 40
cents a pound. Thia price is high
but there is little doubt that nitro
gen would cost the South Dakota
farmer at least 80 cents a pound
even when bought in large quanti-
ties, a sum not to be disregarded
when the amount of nitrogen ne
cessary to produce a bushel of
grain is considered.
Experiments with commercial
nitrogen have not yielded profit
at any of the experiment fields in
the state.
During the years of 1912 and
1913 sweet clover gave and aver.
age yield of III tons of hay per
acre from the first crop at tie
Brookings field and the second
crop produced and average of 8.3
bushels of seed per acre. When
it is known that every ton of
sweet clover hay produced takes
'bout so pounds of nitrogen from
he atr, it may be seen that this
weld clover took about IS pounds
# nitrogen from the air and that
it was worth approximately $25,

some years to get such a proposition

in bankruptcy in the meantime. We
have reached a stage where the District

Mr.. Babson is of the opinion that the
local utilities commission has sufficient
authority to stabilize the local traction
industry by installing a service at cost

sliding fares and sliding dividends In
his articles for The Star he will discuss
the practical application of such meth
ods. Relief for the companies in the

GIVES $40 TOWARD FUND
TO AID MANNED SOLDIER
Washington Mothers Thank Offer.
ing, in Name Of Son, for Pur-
chase of Artificial Limb.

kind-hearted Washington mother,
who declined to give her name, brought
into The Star Office this morning a
note in which was inclosed bright
new ten-dollar bill. She said that she
wished it to be applied to the pur-
chase of an artificial limb for some
soldier of the present war, being under
the impression that the government
is not supplying artificial limbs.
This contribution" she says, sis
given as a thank offering from my
little son, and I hope the soldier
benefited by same will think of it
as given by little boy who is taught
to honor and admire the soldiers who
have given limbs-and even life
itself-to make the world a safe and
better place for the coming genera
tions. If the government is furnish
ing artificial limbs and this money
cannot be used for that purpose, kind
ly place it in the fund for providing
cigars. cigarettes, etc, for the SOL
diers."
Needless to say, the $40 already has
been expended for crippled boys at
Walter Reed Hospital and before
nightfall many cigarette will have
gone up in smoke with kindly
thoughts of the good mother who
thought of other mothers boys.

Likely to Be Duplicated.

This one episode is likely to be du-
plicated many times in Europe be-
fore reactionary statesmen in some
of the delegations see the point in
the repeated warnings made by Pre-
mier Lloyd George and President Will
son that the peace conference must
make a Jest peace or invite anarchy
in Europe.
When so influential and conspicuous
a writer as J. l.. Garvin saws in the
London Observer that without a
league there will be mo peace for
long 1t is proof that the British re-
alize the dangers of a hastily made
peace treaty satisfying the ambitions
OF politicians and ignoring the wishes
or peoples. He adds: "Without some
new principle of association between
peoples the settlement as projected
would not last five years. The
instant question for the associated
powers to make up their minds about
is what to do with Germany. .
As surely as arrogant spoliation by
1919, so surely viii vindictive abuse
of victory recoil at some future day
upon the head Of France No
political lunatic is now SO distem-
pered as to suppose that Germany
can pay the whole cost of the war.
or for that purpose can be kept in a
state of tribute and serfdom for fifty
and a hundred years.
What Mr.. GarVin says seems to rep
resent the viewpoint of the United
States government. so far as it can
be learned here. 1t is one thing for
the delegates in Paris to write terms
of a treaty for signature before a
league of nations is created, and it is
quite another to get the United States
to put its name beneath territorial
settlements which it firmly believes
will keep the peace of Europe as un-
settled as did the wrestling Of Alsace-
Lorraine from France in 1871.
The upshot OF it all will undoubtedly
be definite statement sooner or
later from President Wilson that un-
less the character of the settlements
are just and provision Is made for
the guarantee of these settlements by
an ass ciation of powers, there can
be no adherence on the part Of the
American delegation. Territorial set
Elements are the basis of the trouble
in Paris. with political ambitions of
individuals on the one side and q true
appreciation Of the chaos in Europe
on the other. Which of the two will
win? When that question is answered
real start will be made toward an
early peace in Europe.

CONDEMNS NATIONS LEAGUE.
P. J. Ryan Says It Enslaves Small
Nations.

The league of nations stands for
the enslavement of small nations and
the de-Americanizing of America,
z. J. Ryan, labor writer, declared in
an address to the Friends of Irish
Freedom in the Central Savings Bank
Hall. 7th and ] streets, last night.
Discussing Japan as factor in
the league, Mr. Ryan said the Jap
anese government has never insisted
on the right of it's laborers to settle
in New Zealand, Australia and Can
ada, but that Japanese have been
buying tracts of land along the bor-
der between the United States and
Mexico.
Organized labor in this country,
Mr.. Ryan declared, will not approve
the suggestion to arbitrate the ques-
tion of the immigration of coolie la
bor from the east into the United
States.

with what is really going on in Paris
today.
After each allied nation got what it
wanted there would be little interest
in any league. And after each en-
tente power got what it wanted there
would be no guarantee that Europe
would stay peaceful, for some of the
delegations in Paris have given little
heed to the warning of the British
and Americans that governments and
armies may be subdued. but the spir-
it of peoples is unconquerable
Today comes grim confirmation of
this view in the news that rather
than accept occupation of Hungarian
territory, the Hungarian cabinet has
resigned and turned over the gov
ernment to the soviet in the hope
OF forming an alliance with boishevik
Russia. a manifesto by the Hun
garian government breaks off rela-
tions with the peace conference and
appeals to the proletariat of the
world. Occupation Of Hungarian ter
rftory means, it is contended. no food
