PAGE THREE

1t was first introduced into Mini
doka county in the vicinity of Rupers,
the first seed coming from the United
States Department of Agriculture
Attention was called to it because of
the greater pasturage secured as COM
pared with bluegrass and white dutch
clover generally used in that area.
After a few seasons trial as a pasture
crop, the demand for seed became so
great that the older fields were 1efx
for this purpose. While there is only
approximately 100 acres of this clover
In the state, it promises to become an
important crop for both the seed
grower and the live stock farmer.
The region suitable for seed pro-
duction is limited, but the crop can
be used for pasture over a large area
of the United States. A ready market
should be readily found, therefore, ses
pure seed Of this variety. The returns
from its use as a pasture crop in the
irrigated area of Idaho, justify it's
substitution for white dutch clover.

LADIN0 CLOVER is
BECOMING IMPORTANT

While Ladino or Mammoth white
clover was introduced into the United
States years ago it's importance in
Idaho dates back only four or five
seasons. This clover is abundantly
cultivated on the irrigated lands in
Lombardy, a province of Italy, where
it was probably first developed.
Ladino clover is a giant type of
white clover, producing a taller plant
and therefore a Heavier yield of for
age than the common white clover.
In appearance, it is somewhat inter
mediate between the white dutch
clover and alsike. 1t is not especially
hardy, but readily survives the winter
conditions thruout the irrigated por-
lions of Idaho west of American Falls.

HOLMAN DAYS GREAT NORTH
WOODS STORY FILMED

The character of Kavanagh, or old
tx k "The Rider of the King Log
is one of the most virile and pictur-
esque characters ever created by that
master story teller, Holman Day, as
we'll as being one of the most power
full figures in contemporary fiction.
tx. K" is a powerful giant Of a
man, enthroned as king in his little
realm of pine and spruce. For years
he has developed his leases and rights
until, in the wilderness, has grown
the small town of Ste Agathe, peopled
by Kavanagh's own men and their
families.
Next to the love of his motherless
daughter, is his love of his people,
and his possessions. While he is in
tent on the education of his daughter,
profit-greedy corporation stealthily
surrounds his leases, usurps his river
rights and dams, and attempts to
throttle the activities of Kavanagh
and ruin the little town of St. Agathe.
Kavanagh's lone fight against the
powerful combination brings about
his death, but his fighting spirit is
passed on to his daughter, and the
manner in which she carries the bat
tie TO a successful finish furnishes
the drama and romance of the story
"The Rider of the King Log" comes
to the Liberty Theatre, American
Legion Benefit Sunday at 2:30, pre-
scented by Associated Exhibitors as a
Holman Day production. It was pro-
duced under the authors personal SUI
pervision, on the very locations in
Maine called for in the story, and en-
acted by splendid cast which in
cludes Frank Sehridan, Richard TRAY
ers. Irene Boyle, Carleton Briclert,,
and many others.

Experts to Decide
Cost of Refitting
Liner Leviathan
Powell Will Submit Their
Estimates to Board; Las
ker Anxious to Add Yes
sci to Atlantic Fleet


WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--Construc-
tion experts Of six large shipbuilding
firms will meet with Joseph W. Powell,
vice president and general manager OF
the United States Shipping Board, to-
morrow to discuss the cost of recondi-
tioning the Leviathan, which has been
out Of commission for more than n
year.
The experts will include W. F. Gibbs,
chief Of the construction department of
the International Mercantile Marine,
and representatives from the Newport
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company,
William F. Cramps & Sons, the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation, the
Todd Shipyards Corporation and the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation.
Estimates that have been given TO
Mr.. Powell, with the approval of the
board, decided to get the combined
views of the experts. The estimates
agreed upon by them will be laid be-
fore the board, which will decide
whether the vessel shall be put in con-
dition for use.
1t is the desire of Chairman Lasker
and his associates to restore the Lee
viathan to passenger service in the
North Atlantic, and it is probable that
Congress will be asked to provide the
necessary funds.
Mr.. Lasker recently inspected the
vessel and came away impressed with
its potential value to an American fleet.
To fit the liner for active operation,
however, approximately $1O,0O0,O00 will
be required. The engines are said to
be in good shape, but the hull needs at
tention. 1t also will be necessary to
change the vessel from coal burner
to. an oil burner. which will require
large outlay.
The Shipping Board has before it an
estimate furnished by P. A. S. Frank
lin that the Leviathan can earn $5,OOO,-
900 year in the North Atlantic serv-
ice. Mr.. Franklin also has estimated
that the cost Of reconditioning the
ship would be about $1,000, 900. Up
keep of the vessel now costs SIS 5000 a
month.

Shipping Chiefs
Differ on Boat
Charter Plans
Sentiment To Be Sounded
in Other Sections Be
fore Lasker Bare Craft
Proposal r Is Adopted

As q result Of their inquiries and
interviews with prominent ship opcr-
ators of this port Joseph w. Powell,
general manager; w. ]. Lowe, J. Bar
stow Smull and A. j. Frey. vice-presi-
dents, of the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration, who returned to Washington
yesterday, will submit report to the
United States Shipping Board next
week.
There was such diversity Of opin-
ion among the ship men as to the bare
boat policy advocated by Albert D. Las
ker, chairman of the board. that fur
ther inquiries probably will be made to
ascertain the sentiment in other Sec
tions of the country before the plans
Of the government are finally adopted.
During their recent visit here the
"big four" Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation sounded the views Of
J those upon whom they called on
the question of ALLEGATION versus
bare boat charter, bare boa. char
ter versus time charter, and s1e
1t is said that all were more or less
in favor of the bare boat plan, but on
account of the lack of business it is
not practical thing to enforce at
present, as there is no trade to ab-
sorb it.
All of the four officials agreed that
it will take some time to obtain the
real sentiment of the operators; in
fact, it may be two or three months be-
fore any definite plan is put forth by
the board.
The legal department of the board
now is principally engrossed in de-
o.
Morse interests against it. No informa-
tion was obtainable yesterday as to
the progress of the case of the Virginia
Shipbuilding Company against the gov
eminent, which is being heard before a
master at Alexandria, Va.
The suit of the Groton plant will be
heard before Judge Thomas in the Fed
eral court in Connecticut next week.
This litigation involves about $8,000,-
600, and the board, through its attor-
neys, will present several motions for
argument. which if successfully pressed
will result in a material reduction Of
this sum.
A. j. Frey, vice-president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, has been
devoting his time this week to an in
spection of the laid-up fleets around
New York Harbor. He spent yesterday
at Jamaica Bay. Considerable improve
ment has been made in this division in
the last month.
1t will probably be two or three
weeks before meetings will be held by
the export and import committees re-
Gently appointed by the ship operators
and the railroads to agree upon sta
bilization of rates to be presented to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
at advanced hearings.
Grain shipments through North At
lantic ports are increasing and the
operators in this vicinity are looking
more hopefully upon the situation
since Canadian wheat has begun to be
diverted through Buffalo.
