French ACTION IS
JOLT FOR ALLIES
PARIS TO BE URGED BY ENGLANr
TO HALT AND WITHDRAW
HER ARMIES
LONDON AND ROME WORRIED
French Troops Occupy Cities More
Than Hundred Miles From
Ruhr Troubles

London. French occupation Of
Frankfort and other German cities, to-
gether with civil conditions in the
Ruhr district, is being considered by
the counsel OF ambassadors at Paris,
it is learned here.
II is declared at the foreign office
that the British are not fully decided
as to what course to follow, because
OF conflicting reports, but are inclin'
ed to give Germany benefit of doubt
thus far.
France Notified Of Attitude
A dispatch from Coblenz says that
it is learned at the office of Pierpont
b. Noyes, American Rhineland com
missioner, and representative of the
state department in the American &C.
cupled area, that several days ago
Mr.. Noyes formally ASSOCIATED him
self from any action the high commits
sion might take involving it directly
or indirectly in possible French
advance into unoccupied territory. It
is also stated at The office that Mr.
Noyes has notified Washington of his
action.
Germans Shell French Patrol
A dispatch from Mayence says the
only incident in connection with the
occupation of North Frankfort by the
French consisted of few shots fired.
According to reports by aviators, Ger
men gun detachments fired two or
three shells on a French cavalry pa
troll before which detachments of the
reichsWehr and the security police
were retiring. The latter, although
knowing that occupation had been de-
cided on, refused to believe it would
be carried out, one OF the officers
saying that the British would not let
the French come in.
At Darmstadt, the reception of the
French troops was almost cordial, and
the population at Frankfort was in
clined to be friendly to the French.
Allied Capitals ApprehensiVe
London.-Greatest apprehension pre-
vailed here in official and diplomatic
circles as to the eventualities involved
in the German invasion Of the Ruhr
district and the subsequent French
retaliatoTy measure of occupying sew
eral points in the Frankfort region.
While admitting that the Germans
technically have violated the peace
treaty, British government officials
were inclined to regard Frances head
strong, i'll considered one-handed
game"
England, Italy and the United States,
it is learned, will not acquiesce in
the French coup, which comes as an
unexpected jolt.

IS FARM PRODUCING
FOODS FOR FAMILY?
One of important Factors Deter.
mining Amount of Income.
Garden and Live Stock Are Usually
Cared for at Times That Do Not
Materially Interfere With
Regular Farm Work.

Is the farm producing such of the
family foods as are, adapted to local
conditions in ample quantities for the
welfare of the family?
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm is one Of
the important factors determining the
amount of the income of the farm and
the degree to which the farm business
is safe and profitable, says the United
State department of agriculture This
is especially true of the smaller farms.
The garden and live stock which
supply the larger part of the family
food are usually cared for at times
that interfere comparatively little with
the regular farm commercial enter
prises, and by labor which otherwise
would not be utilized. Further, it has
been found that up to a considerable
size of farm business, when the fam
lily food is produced on the farm, this
item plus the fuel and shelter fur
nished by the farm, amount to an
equivalent of the rent for the entire
farm or interest on the v&He farm
investment.

Army REORGANIZATION
PLAN is ATTACKED;
is CALLED "MlLITARISM"
HWould Build Up Military System
Equal To That Existing In Any
Country" Says Mcclellan

WashingtOn.-The army reOrganiza-
ton bill was attacked as a measure
that would build up military sys-
tenn equal to any that ever existed in
any country at any time" by Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, Of Tennessee,
during consideration of the legislation
in the senate.
The Tennessee senator's criticism
was directed principally at provision
Of the bill for a large general staff,
the creation of the office of under
secretary of war and for the organi-
zation of war council to consider
policies affecting military and NUM-
ton problems Senator Mcclellan in
Dictated his opposition to universal
military training but reserved his at
tack upon it until the general fight
on the plan is brought to the senate
floor.
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, OF
New York, in charge of the bill, and
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican, OF
New Jersey, answering Sentaor Nc
Kellar, declared the legislation sought
only to adopt lessons learned from
the world war, and was designated
to eliminate red tape" and promote
efficiency in the war department.

can be so "sour" that even alsike will
not grow. In such case there is
nothing for it but to lime or to quit
clover.
On land that has lime but is other
wise poor and lacks organic matter,
try sweet clover 1t is no use sowing
this on "sour" soil. 1t won't thrive.
But with lime it is about the best
clover for poor land. 1t will add or
ganic matter and nitrogen and leave
such a soil in better shape for the
following crops. Sweet clover seed is
cheaper than red and in many cases
a farmer could probably substitute
sweet clover for red in the rotation.
The questions involved in the i'm
portance of clover and methods Of
getting a stand, use Of lime, and
sweet clover are only touched on here.
Any state experiment station or the
United States department Of agricul-
ture will send bulletins or additional
information on request.
