PRESIDENT URGED TO SEND
TREATY BACK TO SENATE

New York. May 10.-An appeal to
President Wilson to return the
treaty to the Senate with the decla-
ration that he will accept whatever
reservations may be necessary to Sc
cure ratification has been sent by
twenty-eight prominent men and
women, among them Charles w.
Eliot. Cardinal Gibbons, Norman
Hapgood. Hamilton Holt, Ida Tar
bell andI William Allen White.
You have performed your duty of
honor in endeavoring to obtain the
ratification of, the treaty as you
signed 1t in Paris" the appeal reads
in part. THE responsibility for the
reservations and their defects rests
with their authors and not with the
author Of the covenant.
But even with tho reservations,
the covenant with the moral force
Of the United States under your
leadership is of such value to hu-
manity at this moment that we look
to you to carry IL now into effect
and to lead the worlds opinion In
its operation"

Prince Fredericktown. Nd. May 10.
The body OF an unidentified white
man about 50 years old. who ap-
parently had been murdered by men
in a motorboat. was found yesterday
by employees of a lumber mill on
North Beach of Chesapeake Bay, in
Calvert County.
The murdered man wore a gray
suit bearing the label of a wash
ington clothing firm. He was feet
8 inches in height. had dark brown
hair. tinged with gray. and had a
moustache. He had S1.21 cents in
his pockets.
Employees Of the mill were await
ing a boat from down the bay with
load OF materials. Suddenly a
motor boat appeared out Of the
heavy fog and came near the shore.
When the boat came into shallow
water. the body was thrown out
and the boat swerved sharply and
vanished in the fog
The men on shore waded out and
found the body. Two bullets had
been fred into the mans head, and
the wounds still were bleeding. A
coroner's inquest gave a verdict of
death by murder.
The sheriff has no clue to the
murderers' identity. The lines of the
boat were barely visible in the fog.

instead of hunting their own Jobs,

This impetus Is explained in part
by the increased interest in the
industry of food production during
the last two or three years. but is
probably due more to a growing
realization of the efficiency of SCI
entific farming. The hope Of great
er profits by the application of bet

4. A. Borland. head of the dairy
husbandry department at the Penn
sylvania State College. Soy beans
may be planted in with the corn,
where they increase the value OF
the sflage by adding protein and
balancing the ration, or they may
be grown in place of oats and ma
tured for grain. They will produce
from 20 to IS bushels per acre and
furnish a grain very high in protein
and worth a great deal more than
oats az a dairy feed. Soy bean
grain analyses 27.3 per cent true
digestible protein, while oats con-
tains only 81 per cent of this sub

sive component of good dairy
feed, but It must be present in cer-
tain amounts or the ration will be
