BLACK "ISRAELITES.
KILLED IN BATTLE.

Capetown. - A native religious sect
which calls itself the "Israelites," I'M
der a prophet" named Enoch, who re-
fused to evacuate government land at
Bullock, near Queenstown, Cape Col
ony, has been forcibly elected, losing
III killed and 1875 wounded in fight
with mounted Cape police.
For some years past, the govern
ment had permitted the "Israelites' to
celebrate Passover" on common but
each year a growing number of pill
grims remained behind on what they
called "holy ground" until a village OF
some $50 huts had sprung up. The
sect forbade anybody to enter the vii
lage, or to recognize any authority
except orders from Jehovah, the God
of Israel as interpreted by Enoch the
prophet.
The government some time ago en-
deavored to register the settlement
but. the police were obliged to with
draw to avoid bloodshed.
Peaceful efforts by the secretary for
native affairs and others to induce the
"Israelites" to withdraw failed. They
steadfastly refused to go.
Finally a force Of 800 mounted po-
lice moved from Queenstown to de-
mand tn esurrender o, fthe village.
With shouts of Jehovah says we must
fight" 1000 natives charged the police
with swords and assegais, the women
urging on the wen with wild religious
chants. The police let them come on
until within thirty yards and then
fred, with the result stated. There
upon the prophet Enoch surrendered
and the village is to be demolished.
The affair has caused some stir in
the Cape House of Assembly. Premier
SHUTS declared that in view OF the
natives obstainacy, theer was no other
way to make them understand that
they must obey the law.

COVER CROP IS SOURCE
OF NEW LIFE FOR SOIL.

New life may be put into worn soils
on many Kentucky farms by use OF a
winter cover crop to furnish ORGANIC
matter In the form of green manure,
according to specialists on soils. In
practically all soils raw materials IN
the form of minerals, crop residues
and manures are constantly being
broken into simpler forms Of live soil
organisms which are stimulted by or
eanic matter. When soils are poor in
this material is must be supplied in
the form of manure, crop residues and
green manure, according to r. FL
Stephenson, field agent in soils from
the College of Agriculture.
"A winter cover crop affords green
manure for this purpose. 1t is an
especially valuable means Of supply
ing organic matter of which there are
two types in the soil: one which de-
Gays rapidly and easily and one when
is inactive and decays slowly. Green
manures are active types Of organic
matter. The soil organisms multiply
rapidly and quickly convert/a green
manure into a soluble form to feed
crops. A little Of the easily decom-
possible organic matter OF green
manure is worth much more than a
larger quantity Of old inactive organic
matter of worn soils.
Nitrogen, one Of the principal ele-
ments of plant food. is practically all
contained in the organic matter In
the soil. This element is a limiting
factor I'M crop production. The nitro
gen Of a green manure is especially
valuable because It becomes available
gradually as the growing crop needs

DEMOCRATS ARE
MOST UNREASONABLE
IN EXPECTATIONS.
Unfair TO Expect That Republican
Officials Can Stralghten Up
Affairs In Few
Months.

Washington, ut Is very truth
fully and appropriately remarked by
the Philadelphia North American that
the Democratic gave Mr.. Wilson eight
years to mess things up, and now they
are not willing to give Mr.. Harding
eight months to straighten things out"
1.-THE Republicans have been In con-
troll but four months, and, In fact, have
not had real control at all, for the
laws and appropriations under which
the government operates up to June
30, the end of the fiscal year, were
signed by Mr.. Wilson. President Will
son vetoed reform bills passed by the
Republican Congress and would sign
only those measures Of which he fully
approved.
"Up to June 80, therefore, the gov
eminent is still almost entirely under
the Wilsonian regime. After June 30
the Republicans will lbe solely respon-
sible for the manner in which the bus
mess Of the government ia conducted,
except, of course, that they must ar
range to paw the enormous debts the
Democrats contracted.
"But the Democratic press and the
Democratic organization are not will
ing to give the Harding administration
a chance to bring order out OF the
chaos into which the Wilson admins
tration threw the country. The DEM
ocratic Federal Reserve Board sprung
its deflation program upon the farm
ers in such way as to force them to
| sell their crops at greatly reduced
| prices after having produced them at
wartime costs.
"The McAdoo management of the
railroads boosted wages, required the
roads to pay for services not rendered.
discouraged good service, and permit
ted the property to deteriorate. the
railroads were taken over with money
in their treasures and turned back
practically broke. The politicians
nlaced by Mr.. Wilson in charge Of the
departments and bureaus Of the gov
ernment swelled the government pay
rolls and organized the government
service on a basis that cannot be i'm
mediately abandoned. The postal serv-
lice was demoralized, importation OF
foreign goods was encouraged by a
free trade law, and taxes were aug
mented by extravagant methods in the
management Of public business.
"Mr. Wilson was given full sway for
eight years in the spursuit Of such pol
icies as these, and the Democrats
Congress almost invariably voted in
accordance with the wishes Of the eX-
ecutive And now, because Mr.. Har-
ding and the Republican Congress are
not able to rectify the damage IN four
months, the Democrats set up howl
about broken promises"

New York. - Just exactly what is a

which is driving beach censore around

various sound and ocean resorts rules
were passed before the bathing season
even opened proclaiming that every
woman and every girl over ten years

skirts reaching to her knee. And now
they've gone and sprung the "ukelele
skirt" on the poor enforcers Of those
rules! Oh, yes, 1t reaches to the knees,
all right, but ut" is only flutter of
ribbons. Each particular ribbon is a
good knee length; but even consid-

for Marie as one inducement for her
to become his bride But she and her
father decided that she was to success
full as a stenographer to marry the
first man that came along with dia-
mond and so she regretted her inabil-
ity to be his and considered the Incl
dent closed. But no Mr.. Benedict!

Der our friendship by" protested
