GENERAL JOFFRE,
HERO OF THE FIRST
MARINE BATTLE
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from Page One.)
Five of the greatest German drives
failing, the Allies found themselves
in position again to take the offens-
i've in July, 1918, and the following
October they smashed the so-called
"Hindenburg Line" cleared the Bel
gian coast and advanced along the
river Meuse, threatening all German
communications and compelling the
enemy to ask for the armistice which
was granted on November II, 1918.
Meanwhile, Joffre had retired from
active command and had been created
the marshal of France. After the
first battle of the Marne, occasional
Allied reverses cast shadow upon the
glory of the great French soldier. He
had aroused enmities in the Chamber
fof Deputies by his dismissal of ID
generals and his replacement of them
by younger commanders.
In 1917, few weeks prior to the
entry of the United States in the
great struggle, Marshal Joffre and
former Premier Viviani, as the heads
of the French War Mission, came to
this country and discussed with Pres
ident Wilson and other officials Ameri-
cas- participation in the war; They
were enthusiastically greeted every
where in their tour of the cities in the
East and Middle West.
In 1918 Joffre was elected member
of the French Academy, thus becom-
ing one of the "Forty Immortals." He
was chosen on his literary record. His
work was written on September g.,
1914, on the eve of the battle of the
Marne in a general order to his army
and read: "At this moment, when a
battle is about to commence upon the
result of which the salvation of our
country depends, no one must look be-
hind. All must unite to attack and
repel the enemy. Any troop finding
itself unable to advance further, must
hold the ground at all cost and must
fight until death. No retreat"
After the battle of the Marne, a
friend remarked, General, you have
Won the greatest battle of the ages"
Joffre replied. "What l hope I have
won is an early rest in my little home
in Pyrenes."

Trajectory. Natural soil seration and
therefore of root breathing are most
favorable in loose or sandy soil. But
available potash is usually scanty.
Clay soils pack and puddle, choking
root breathing, but they average high
in available potash. A loan, midway
between the two in texture, is fav-
orable, but not necessarily sure, un-
til it is proven by crop results or
chemical modification, that the true
mean has been struck.
The prime function of burned lime
is that it crumbs sticky clay, in all
soil combinations. The husbandman
has in it the sure key to soil aeration
and can control the root breathing
of legumes to whatever degree is
necessary for full crop on any field.
But the secondary of lime is that it
liberates available plant food to the
nutrient soil water, if it is there. II
too heavy loan is crumbed suffici-
emily with chemically active lime,
like hydrate, the yield is bound to paw.

INTERESTING LECTURE
IN M. E. CHURCH
Former Prohibition Commissioner
Speaks Before Local Audience
Law Enforcement Week

Before good sized audience in the
Methodist Episcopal Church on Mon
day night, John F. Kramer, first Fed
eral Prohibition Commissioner spoke
on "The Law, The Officers, The Peo-
pie" The speaker was brought here
in connection with the National Law
enforcement Week which is being OBJ
served this week.
The address was an excellent one
and Mr.. Kramer told of many inter-
esting happenings of the work of the
Prohibition Commissioner and of some
of the hardships he runs into through
the lack of cooperation of the people
to uphold the law of the country.
Rev. Ivanhoe Willis, of Marshall
ton, was in charge of the meeting and
prayer was, offered by Rev. George
F. Newton, of Ebenezer Church.
Another feature of the meeting was
the speaking of DR.. E. G. Crabbe, sup
erintendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
of Delaware and Maryland. This
speaker urged all present to do all in
their power to see that the law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor was en-
forced.
A speaker will be in the local schools
on Thursday in connection with the
Law Enforcement Week. Who this
speaker will be has not yet been an
nounced.

CRIMSON CLOVER is LEAST
COSTLY OF FARM CROPS

There is no farm crop south of
Pennsylvania that can be produced at
so little expense as crimson clover.
Considering the season and the mum
Der of months it occupies the ground,
the cost of seed, fertilizers and soil
preparation as contrasted with the
value of the crop removed and
the effect on the soil, crimson clover
is very profitable. The experience Of
hundreds of farmers is to the effect
that crimson clover will produce a
splendid crop of hay and leave the
soil in a condition of fertility equiva-
lent to applying twelve loads of stable
manure per acre.
Crimson clover is especially we'll
adopted to southern Jersey and the
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Pc
ninsula, as experience has verified. A
hseed crop of clover may here be re-
moved in time to grow crop of corn
or late potatoes. Furthermore, the
seasonal conditions will allow the clo-
yer to be pastured late in the fall, and
then again early in the spring periods
when other pasture is not available.
Eastern soils vary from a stiff clay
to almost pure sand, the sandy loan
type predominating. Crimson clover
has been grown successfully on all
of these types, altho the plant will
generally do better, other conditions
being equal, on loan SOIL
Like other clovers, crimson clover
is a heavy feeder of mineral plant
food, phosphoric acid and potash, es-
pecially the latter. To soils lacking
these elements in available form,
there must be added some fertilizer.
The general practice is to apply to
the regular crop only, the clover feed
ing on the residue in the soil. Crimson
clover appears to be legume that is
not sensitive to somewhat acid con-
ditions. Reports about the benefit of
lining this crop have consequently
been contradictory as in so many cases
of conflicting testimony, the infor-
nation is handed on without analy-
sis. The result has been that those
who could grow this valuable crop
with fair results and be parsimoni-
Gus about lime have cultivated it with
the help of potash fertilizer; others
have pocketed failure and turned to
less valuable crops.
A little sieving of the evidence and
pplication of horse sense would great
ly increase the acreage and add to
many farmers profits. Look at
the testimony given. Crimson clover
thrives in a loose soil and needs pot
ash. Of course, it does. 1t is a le-
gume with nitrogen breathing nodules
on it's roots. But the vital need for
developing these nodules and the
