CLOVER IN wayne
C0mPARATIvEL Y;FREE
FROM WEEvIL, CLAIM

Although Henry county reports a
heavy damage in some localities from
the clover weevil, Wayne county as a
whole seems to be comparatively free.
according to examinations made Fri
day. These inspections were made
after it was learned that several hun
dred acres OF clover in Henry county
are reported to have been ruined by
this pest. according TO Ralph Test,
county agent Many fields were so
badly infested that it was necessary
to advise that they be plowed up. In
one clover plant, q worms were found
at work
The report Of damage is substan-
fiated by E. D. Turner, county agent
OF Preble County. O.. who states that
he has discovered some cases Of in
festation. and has in his Office samples
o. seed damaged by the weevil.
AT only Two points in Wayne county
vas weevil damage reported Friday.
when examinations were made follow
ing discovery of the weevil in ad-
Joining counties. They were in New
Garden township, where William
Wright reports severe infestajon,
many worms being found on the
Plants, some plants already dead and
others turning brown.
Charles Williams reports, that al
though no worms are observed. many
plants are seen which have been eaten
and damaged in the characteristic
manner of the weevil.
Other Glover Good
Other parts of the country, however
report the clover in nice shape, with
no weevil or evidences of their pres
ence, the only damage that is done
being due to the freeze. Theodore
Davis, of Green's Fork. and Wood Ella
son. of Centerville. both state that
clover in their neighborhoods is com
ing on nicely. Grafton Stewart, of
Hagerstown. and W. D. Scott, of the
Easthaven farm state that clover in
those neighborhoods looks well and
there is no knowledge of weevil dam
age.
The weevil infestation seems to be
confined to few localities, according
to information so far available. In
Henry county, Wayne township is the
only community suffering material
damage from the pest.
Mild Winter, Cause
The mild winter this year has
caused the large destruction by the
weeyil, it is stated. The worms ap-
pear every year but because of the
warm weather this year, they came
much earlier than usual, thus eating
the young plants. Then, too, the cold
weather often kills out the worms, SO
that they attack the hardy clover
plants at a time when the clover is
able to Withstand the damage of the
worms.
The recent freezes, it is believed,
killed some of the worms but they
have been very bad in some scattered
localities.
The clover weevil is a small light
green colored worm about a fourth of
an inch in length. The worms are
Matched from eggs and after eating
the clover go into the cucoon state,
after which they become beetles.

There should be immediate withdrawal Of
all but a company OF American troops from Ger
many We have some 1000 or $1,000 men in the
Occupation Zone, the only excuse for whose main
tthancc must be that have not yet made peace.
But ii anyone assumes that these $4,000 men
invade Germany and occupy Berlin as
method OF making peace, he is a good deal mis-
taken; and il we should come this improbable
necessity there is plenty OF time TO transport
troops ior this purpose.
Aside from the matter OF expense, there
are other reasons that demand this action. At
the present moment the British are maintaining
only 1000 or 5000 men in occupation and are con-
stantly decreasing their forces.
We have indemnity to collect from Ger
many and therefore need not hold finger on
the trigger, morning, and night.
IN american sergeant is today receiving about
5000 marks month, and American private
about 5000 marks Both OF these incomes are
larger than that OF the Burgomaster OF Cob
lcntz and with their furious purchasing power
the American soldier has no complaint OF the
accessories he can provide himself.
Secretary Baker is reported having ordered
he force reduced to 5000, the number OF the
British. He is to be commended ior this.
He will be entitled to further and greater COM
mendation, il he follows this with order Tor
further withdrawal All who should be kept there

Think Villa Seeks
Chance to Co Into
Mexican. Politics

Francisco villa, retired guerilla
chieftain, is believed TO have some
political plan in connection with
his frequent trims away from his
hacienda. ,Canutillo, in Durango. It
is thought that he dreams Of hold
ing high office in Mexico. or is de-
sirous Of maintaining his popularity
and prestige among his former fol-
lowers. so as to remain. powerful
and formidable in the northern
states, in case of any sort of crisis.
His latest trip was to Santa
Rcsaiia Camargo, in the state OF
chihuahua. His progress from his
estate in the state OF Durango was
again that of feudal lord.
At Santa RosaIa there were
banquets, balls and sereuades
Everything was done to convince
Villa of his boundless popularity
in the town. While it is hinted
that some residents of Santa RO-
salia may have joined in the fes-
tivities with apparent enthusiasm
as matter of policy. fearing. that
Villa might again become a bandit
rebel and attack the town. il is
generally admitted that the demon
strstions at Santa Rosalia and else
where weave no doubt that villa
has a ftrong hold, despite his years

a sembaRce OF Workmanship to their products.
As it is, there too many wood butchers

might have some protection through the closed
shop and known membership.
They might be restricted to at least an eight
hour day, cutting out the present prolific use
OF overtime, and best of all, their employers
might be known. As it is, they are supposed to be
working for Mr.. Harding, though he has en-
ployed none OF them, so far as known, and has
not contracted to pay any OF them.
As matter OF fact, Mr.. Harding should be
able do the job himself. He knows all the
available timber, its quality and fitness. He also
knows the sort OF household furniture he wants
and needs, He is not unskilled as a workman
Ii he is having onehali the trials and tribula-
tonS credited him, is not because OF his
own workmanship and ability, but from outside
interference When he asked the best minds"
OF the country to come to see him. and he
opened the door his Marion home, lot OF
people seemed to think he meant them
He has since been able to close the door.
Every time he tries, he finds foot in it. In
the torrent OF talk he may find it difficult to keep
true and clear the current OF his better
Judgment. He has had enough advice to choke
elephant.
But it may be taken for granted that before
he makes his choice and finally decides
hi, construction, he will take his
expected vacation far away from the hammer

In the quictude OF his good Judgment
regardless OF offending this that the other
sensitive soul, he may pick for his official fam
lily those he knows will have the approval and
confidence OF just the folks. Alter all they the

WARD BURGESS. OMAHA
MAN AT sHOREHAM.

Government aid for farmers or
any other special class is discour-
aged by Ward NJ. Burgess, Omaha
merchant, seen at the Shoreham
yesterday, who declares that the
American farmer, producer and man
ufacturer possesses sufficient initia-
tive and enterprise, to extricate him
self from any economic difficulty he
may encounter.
Burgess, who. comes frem one OF
the richest agricultural centers IN
the United States, says that any
thing tending toward ENCOURAGING
the idea of Federal subsidizatlon of
any industry or promotion OF class
legislation should be discoura ged.
"Paternalism should never be per-
mitted to replace individual effort" "
he declared. We have been able
to get along in this country for over
century without government sub
sidization OF agriculture and it will
be well to avoid resOrting to such
devices in the future. The Amer
lean farmer as well as the American
businessman may be safely trusted
to keep his head above water.

THE CLAMOR
FOR STATE AID.

Naturally, all classes want gov
ernment aid of some sort, but there
Is little consideration where the
money is to come from. The provi-
sions of the Edge act, which permit
the organization of combinations OF
producers or manufacturers to un-
dertake the marketing Of our do
mestiC products abroad. appears to
me reasonable solution Of the
problem Of disposinE Of our surplus
crops. Our farmers have a large
surplus. Europe needs our goods
all that is needed is some provision
for extension of credit to our Euro
pean buyers. If We can supply the
idle mills OF Europe with american
corn and wheat. then We shall not
only be assisting Europe to check
the spread Of Eolshevism. hut we
shall be cOntribuIin- to the pros
pcrity Of our own Tuited States.

world. amply protected from 1rivs-
sion OF its sovereign rights or any
infringement upon the highest prin-
ciples OF true Americanism? '-
II at any time the league of ma

wise, shall adopt any measure which
the Congress Of the United states
shall deem inadvisable, or shah re-
fuse to adopt any measure whIofi the

the United States reserves the right
TO withdraw from the league WITH
the understanding that neither t1e
