Faster Flowing Tried Out.

Increasing the field speed of tractor
blowing from , to ) miles per hour
increases draft from to II per cent,
varying with the soil, according to j.
b. Davidson. head of the agricultural
engineering department Of Iowa State
college. At the present time certain
tractor designers advocate higher
speeds for blowing.
During the past year Prof. Davidson
has been making Investigations both
in California and at 4Ames to deter
mine by field tests the effect of speed
Oh draft. Doubling the speed will in
crease the draft from 16 to 25 per cent
while the amount of work done is in
creased so to 100 per cent. 1t was
found that the burrows We're smoother
and better pulveriZed at the higher
speeds. Stubble ground plows very
well at a speed Of four miles per hour.

tive capacity of our industries" and
he ascribes the reason to be great
distances like ours. with the principal
sources of raw material far removed
from the great centers Of cOnsump-
tion,' which make adequate and eff
Gent transportation IA prime neces-
sity."
1t is easy to agree with Mr.. Fayant's
statement that 1.-The very life of the
nation depends OH transportation. and
the chief concern of the public in the
railroad problem is that transportation
all other phases Of the problem are
secondary" The student OF the ques-
ton is aware that in no other great
country Of the world is transportation
furnished at so low cost. and it is
doubtful whether the agitation of some
of the sO-called radicals" is deceiving
many people. even though these people
urge that the cost of living is likely to
be increased through congress fixing
sound program for the railroads under
private management. 1t is to the
credit Of the nation that the live and
let live principle is coming to be
recognized everywhere in American in
dustry and commerce. This has been
reflected in congress where strenuous
attempts have been made to frame
railroad legislation to protect the men
who work OH the lines, as we'll as in
vestOrs Of the country who have put
their savings in railroad securities,
and the public whose interests are in
every way identified with successful
railroad operation.
Sending Lenine his Friends.
The arrest of thousands of foreign
born radicals and the work of deport-
ing them, is not to be construed as an
attempt on the part of the government
to suppress free speech in the United
States Our country went to war for
the avowed purpose of carrying demo-
cracy to the world. Naturally this
democracy appears in different forms
and shapes, and since it has been
proved that good many thousand
foreigners are incapable of assimilat-
ing the democracy of free country,
the transports of the United States are
being used in sending them back to
European countries. where it is hoped
they will find conditions much more to
their liking, than those which have
them in America. Amer
lea is we'll rid Of these ingrates, and
more stringent immigration laws
should keep this class of people from
our shores. Attempts to make martyrs
of these foreigners is not likely to meet
with any support, for while there is
a vigorous protest in the public mind
against the suppression OF free speech,
this sentiment does not offer any COM
fort to discontinued fire-brands.

A Remarkable Sweet Glover.

An annual variety OF sweet clover
developed at Iowa State college by
II. D. Hughes of the farm crops dc.
partment will soon be ready for dis
tributiOn. Reports have been coming
in from all parts of the United States
and from European countries and they
are all highly favorable. In Kansas,
when seeded with wheat the clover
made a remarkable growth and after
the wheat was removed it ripened a
seed crop Sowed with Iowa lob oats
lat the Iowa experiment station the
oats were removed the middle of June
after which the clover grew 31a feet
high and blossomed. idaho reports
that when sowed by itself in the spring
it grew to eighteen inches and was
cut for hay after which it produced a
seed crop at which time some OF the
plants were 6 to feet high. An agri-
cultural student from Denmark car
ried some of the seed home with him
and planted it in May. In the cool
climate of northern Europe it grew s
to q feet in height.
The problem OF the corn belt farmer
has been to find crop that was. a
leg,lme to take the place of clover
when it fails. With this sweet clover
it will be possible to grow regular
crop OH the soil and then secure il
heavy green manure crop the same
year to pillow under. Much OF the
future policy of farming depends upon
a cheap supply of nitrogen to build up
that lost from the soil by cropping
and no other crop has given so much
promise as the new annual sweet
clover. A small supply Of the seed is
now on hand at the Iowa State col
lege and anyone interested can get
small sample by writing for it.

Plan Before Building.

During the long evenings of winter
make plans for new farm buildings
is the advice of experts in the depart
ment of agricultural engineering at
Iowa State college. Many cases are
on record where advice has not been
requested in building farm buildings
until the foundations We're completed.
Complete plans should be worked out
for the building before any expensive
foundations are put in, or else the re-
suit will be Inconvenience and extra
expense.
In building a barn, first figure out
the number of horses and cows that
will be kept with any additional calf

pens, bull pens, and harness rooms.
Then determine the amount of space
needed for each and draw them out on
paper. 1t will now be possible to pro-
vide alleys and driveways in the most
convenient places. Great numbers OF
barns are built with too much room
for cattle runways and other nom
essential features that could be more
cheaply provided in separate sheds.
Plans in many cases would have saved
10 or 20 feet of gable roof and at the
same time provided much more con-
venient and useful building.

To Stop Soil Erosion.

Soil erosion has come to be one of
the most popular subjects handled by
the agricultural engineering depart
ment of Iowa State college. Forty
farm bureaus have already requested
demonstrations next spring on the pre-
vention of erosion. Every county in
the four southern tiers Of Iowa, be-
sides many other countries over the
entire state, have asked for assistance
with this problem.

This is what Ray Snyder, advertising

know and whether or not the conduc-
tor Of a car has any right TO inter-
ceed with bodily force when he at

Several months ago the Gary Street

express car service and made a suing
that the cars would not stop between

event that anyone wished to board

understood that there is no clause in

1t was while Mr. Snyder was return

he boarded 45th avenue express ana
when he called his stop the conductor

that heated words grew out OF the ar

methods on Mr.. Snyder in settling tho
dispute.

of passengers using these cars that the

Many funny stories are told of pas

refusal of conductors to let them on
A story Is told OF q man boarding one
of these cars several weeks ago and
when he reached his street the conduc-

The man took It upon himself 10 op-

GOVERNMENT POLICY
(By Associated Press)

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 14.-Presi
dent Irigoyan personally directed the
course of the Argentine delegation at
Geneva which resulted in it's with
drawal from the assembly of the
league of nations, says La Epoca, the
government organ, in an editorial
praising the attitude of Argentina rel
alive to the league. documents relat-
ing to the withdrawal of the Argentine
delegation" says the newspaper,
show something that has not been an
entire mystery that the Argentine
foreign policy especially since the war
has been personally directed by the
nations chief magistrate. Understand
ing it's immense importance for the
country, he has delegated to no one
the direction of the nations foreign
affairs. Only President Irigoyen could
have had the strength to say mo- when

he extent Of expelling her from
Greece after the king had secretly
married her
King Alexander, however, not only
brought his bride back to Greece but
insisted and obtained permission for
her to live In the royal palace. An
anomalous situation ensued but the
king was quite happy and little did
he worry about what the people
thought or said about his wife.
Since the death of King Alexander
the Greek courts have declared valid
his marriage to Nine. Manos, dis
missed the opposition of the former
King Constantine and ruled that she
shall inherit Alexander's personal
property, which had been claimed by
Constantine. The high courts also de-
cided that her expected child will be.

DEVOTION TO KING
BRINGS RECOGNITION
TO ALEXANDER'S WIFE
(By Associated Press)

ATHENS, Dec. 1.-THE devotion
shown by Nine. Aspasia Manos, wife
of the late King Alexander OF Greece
to him during his fatal illness result
ing from the bite Of monkey, mas
created SO profound an impression
upon the Greeks that even those VINO
heretofore had spared no effort 10
separate her from the king, have TO-
day nothing but good to say about
her. -.
For four weeks during which the
king fought for life against blooc
poison, his wife obtained no rest ex-
cept when exhaustion compelled ner
to take a little sleep. The ordeal she
underwent was all the more trying
because of her own state OF heaitn,
since she is to become a mother.
Heretofore King Alexander's mar
rage had not been considered In some
governmental quarters to be valid De-
cause it had been solemnized secretly
and without fulfillment OF certain
formalities Since the death OF the
king, the government has been SO
moved by the devotion OF his widow
that it has discovered law by virtue
of which Nine. Manos is recognized
as having been the kings legal wife.
May Receive Pension
This was regarded here as exclud-
ing the possibility of raising diff
culties in connection with her inherit
ance of the late kings personal es'
tate. 1t is also understood that the
government will lay bill before the
next Parliament for the payment OF
a pension to Nine. Manos.
Aspasia Manos belonged to tne
Greek Phamariote aristocracy but was
not of royal blood. She was beauti
full girl and the young prince fell in
love with her When King Constan
tine abdicated and Alexander was
called to the throne, he laid down as
a condition of acceptance that NJ
should be allowed to marry the girl tc
whom he had pledged his word.

CHICAGO. MAY LOSE
ART STUDIO DISTRICT

CHICAGO, Dec 14.-Chicago may
lose it's art colony as the result of the
recent sale of the Lambert Tree Stu
dio building to Medina Temple, which
plans to build the largest Masonic
temple in the world on the site.
The Tree studio building was erect
ed by the late Lambert Tree as a
home for artists, and about it has
grown up an extensive art colony.
Many of the painters and sculptors in
the studio building have lived there
for from fifteen to 25 years. They
are planning to remove to New York,
unless another suitable home can be
found here for the colony.
Chicago's art center occupies ia
vored district on the near north side,
just above the loop district. At one
end it rubs elbows with the ware.
house district bordering the Chicago
river, and 10 blocks north reaches the
opposite extreme, mingling with the
brownstone mansions and tall apart
ment houses of the Gold Cost" On
the east is Lake Michigan, with bath
ing beach conveniently located, and
on the west is Clark street, the high
way of pawn shops theatrical hotels
and, in the near past, cabarets.
Within this district live several
hundred artists, musicians, writer:
and students. The commercialized DO
hemianism of New York's Greenwich
village is missing, for most of thu
members of the colonoy are earnes
workers, and few poseurs are to b.
found.
