In 1913 Prof. H. D. Hughes sent
some seeds of the new plant to the
Idaho experiment station at Moscow
and tests similar to those made by
Mr.. Field were conducted, but takes
longer to mature.
"The result we obtained, however
would tend to discourage the growth
of the plant in the Northwest" saio
H. w. Hubert, of the Idaho farm
crops department. ''In fact, all OF
the results so far secured at Moscow
indicate that the plant will never be 9
valuable one in this section. We are
therefore, recommending that Idaho
farmers buy sparingly of this seed
which is bound to be highly advertised
all over the United States.
"The plants and seed of this variety
are very similar and can hardly be
distinguished from the white biennia
type of sweet clover. The two species
made about on equal growth wher
tested at Moscow, besides the annua
type lives only the one season anc

The reason that this new species is
not adapted to this section is because
of our short growing seasons, the
plant requiring from 120 to 100 days
or maturity. Alfalfa Journal.

the dog.

SLASHING THE
COST OF LIVING

The retail store price-cutting begun
in the East is sweeping the country
with a rapidfty which marks it as
perhaps the most extraordinary of all
the high-cost-of-l living phenomena.
The overall fad itself was not so swift.
All that was necessary was to start
it and leave the rest to fate. But
certainly the momentum the move
n1ent asquires as it progresses, where
by the 10 and 20 per cent reductions
initiated in New York and Brooklyn
increase to 40 to so per cent in the
West and produce riots of shoppers,
Is something unknown in the expert
ence of the oldest storekeeper.
Setting the egg on end was a SIM
pie enough matter after the way was
shown. Action has brought result re-
CARELESS of economic theories. But
consumers will be indulging premature
hopes if the jump to the conclusion
that the whole problem of the higf
cost of living has thus been solved off
hand for their benefit.
Prices have been at an altitude t.

When all other friends desert, he

GERMAN DEMOCRAT
CY GETTING ON

1t may be only coincidence that
the German government is publishing
documents highly damaging to the old
regime just on the eve of the election
of new reichstag. In this country
we fear that they would be called
campaign documents. For there have
been reports that the Monarchist par
ty would make a strong effort in the
voting of June 6. Most observers of
German politics expect considerable
reaction away from the Social Demo-
Gratis and toward the right. But such
a movement will certainly be made
more difficult by publication at this
juncture of added official testimony
to the laundering and blindness of
the former rulers of Germany The
people may not think that the present
government is miraculous success,
but at least they would not wish to
set up again their old idols, in whom
it is now evident, the admixture of
clay went good deal above the feet
1t the Ebert government had in mind
such an effect, it would be fair in
ference that the Germans are making

Action of the Jefferson county grand jury. organized on october 1, regarding further investigation into the bond situation and financial condition of the county depends upon the findings of the state auditors. now going over the books. This information was given out by Solicitor Joseph R. Tate in response to inquiries as to the purpose of the present grand jury.
 Whether or not Governor Kilby will send special solicitor here to assist in further investigating this matter de- bends upon the report of the auditors, five of whom have ben at work here for several weeks.
 Prior to the adjournment of the grand jury in September. MT. Tate asked Gov ernor Kilby for assistance in conduct ing this investigation. However, the solicitor stated that Governor Kilby was of the opinion that the time was so short before the grand jury adjourned that he would wait upon the findings of the auditors. Then if after the comple- tion of their investigation anything tangible demanding attention was found he would designate a special prosecutor to aid the solicitor if the latter deemed it necessary or advisable.
 No further investigation is contem plated pending the completion of the work of the auditors, MT. Tate stated, as the other grand jury had gone into the matter fully at great expense to the county and had returned a full and complete report and recommendations.

HUN LANGUAGE IS SLICED FROM LIST Colleges and Schools Here Do Not Teach It These
 Days

The hatred for the German race was so strong two years ago that when the war closed many people thought that the Germans had not received enough punishm ent, but with the sign ing of the armistice feeling gradually subsided. It will be many years. how ever. before Germany will be restored to the high place which she held in the estimation of the public six years ago. Although the public is anxious to forget the war with it's horrors. there seems to be a deep feeling against the country as is shown by the fact that it's language is no long CT desired in the schools. The German language, which was dropped from almost all of the high school and col lege courses has not been restored in any of them
 The Birmingham Southern College did not remove German from iss courses of study but the language became so unpopular that it automati- cally dropped out. It Is said that stu dents refuse to select the German in their selection of modern languages The high schools have no German classes.
