HONEST ELEcrIoN sILL PASSES

New difficulties have been put in
the path OF Senator Townsend's re-
turn to the senate by that body's
passage of the Democratic bill for
bidding senatorial candidates to
spend more than $4,000 and candi-
dates for the house more than $1,000
to procure their election.
Senator Townsend was one of the
forty-six Republican senators who
voted to seat Truman II. Newberry
IN the face Of the admission that he
expended s195,O00 to get the Repub-
licar nomination in 1918. Senator
Townsend is the object OF a violent
attack by reason of his vote, which
he is defending. Three other Re-
publican candidates for his job are
,traversing the state of Michigan.
leaving in their wake all sorts Of
denunciations of Senator Townsend's
assistance to Newberry and of his at
tempt to justify the scandalous slush
fund which was spent for Newberry.
When the bill limiting the expendi-
lures of congressional candidates
was under discussion in the senate,
Mr.. Townsend was forced to show
his hand He declared himself in
favor of the measure. Not only that,
he actually deplored the present con-
ditions under which a very rich man
may spend all the money he wishes
while "the poor man necessarily
must depend upon his frineds who
are interested in him and who feel
that they want to do something for
him properly and legally under the
state and federal laws"
This is a very different attitude
than that Senator Townsend main
tanned in the senate when he voted
to seat Newberry even notwithstand-
ing the condemnation by the Repub-
lican majority of excessive sums" as
contrary to sound public policy,
harmful to the honor and dignity Of
the senate, and dangerous to the per-
petuity of free government" II
is very different also from his atti-
tude as a candidate in Michigan
where he has repeatedly announced
that he is making no apologies" for
his help to Newberry.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,
who was suspicious in the fight
against the seating of Newberry, is
the author of the bill just passed by
the senate.

SIX PEcKS AN ACRE FOUND
BEST RATE TO SEED WHEAT

Paintings made at the rate of six
best yields on the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Experiment Station farm where
experiments have been conducted for
many years to determine the best
rate of seeding in Kentucky, accord
ing to E. ]. Kinney, a member of the
station agronOmy department. This
amount is sufficient in nearly all
cases but to sow less than six pecks
a nacre is only advisable where the
soil is extremely rich or the seedlings
made very early in the season. The
statement was made in response to
scores of inquiries being received at
this time of the year from farmers
in all parts Of the state who are MAX
ing preparations for wheat planting.
"Some years, five pecks of seed an
acre have given yields just as large
as those obtained from six pecks of
seed, but in no case have the yields
from the smaller amount of seed
been larger. On very rich tobacco
land, four pecks of seed an acre oc-
casionally have given yields as large
as those from other rates of seeding.
However, on corn land where wheat
does not stool so readily, seedlings
made at lower rate than six pecks
an acre practically never have given
yields quite as large as those obtain
ed from six pecks of seed an acre.
Occasionally, in very severe win
ters, seven to eight pecks an acre
have given larger yields than those
obtained from six pecks an acre Ken
lucky farmers often sow five pecks
an acre, oreven a bushel on tobacco
land. Under most conditions, this
rate OF seeding will give practically a
full crop. II is true that wheat will
stool out extensively when sown thin,
but is more likely to straw fall in
such cases and seldom yields as we'll
Seven pecks to the acre probably
would be advisable II the wheat is to
be pastured to a considerable extent

acre. or Mavelous wheat, claimed by
its introducers to give full yields

rate on the station farm has given
yields from four to eight bushels an

NEWSPAPER ARsIrsRs


la Will Hays of the movies, Judge
Lands of baseball and Augustus
Thomas Of the dramatic world?" asks
the Brownsville (Texas) Herald.
Continuing. the editor sarcastically
observes: The press should be limit
ed, at least, as to the amount OF space
and position and style of headlines
devoted to divorce suits and breach
Of promise scandals among our mil
lionaire society circles"
The editor Of the Galveston News
in answer says:
Every newspaper has its arbiters,
and lots of them, at that. They rise
up early In the morning to gather in
the misdeeds Of the newspapers, and
they spend, sometimes, almost the
rest of the day in arbiting until their
teeth ache. Some of the arbitterest
arbiting that you can imagine is what
the newspaper man GETS"
This gentle TRADE may not mean
much to the layman, but to the man
or woman in the newspaper game, it
is poignantly true. Much more could
be said. Allusions might have been
made to the troubles of the circula-
tion manager who must explain
scores of times a day why certain
subscribers did not get their papers
before o'clock in the morning. Al
so, something might have been said
about the cares of the society editor
who in a moment of inadvertence
spells Mrs. Smythe's daughter
Edythe's name Edith Smith, and an
nounces that she has gone to Green
Bay for the summer instead of to
Cape May.
Then there are the arbiters who
take il upon themselves to "arbite"
the chronology of the newspapers.
They go into session if an illusion is
made to the big snow of December,
1917, instead of the blizzard of jan
uary, 1918. They stand ready to cor
rect any historical slip from the fall
of Babylon to the fall of Port Ar
thur
And, going a little deeper into the
of newspapers by the volun- |
teer arbiters, it may be recalled that
severe criticism is likely to follow
the statement that John l.. Sullivan
PIP pounds when he whip
ped Kilrain, that the 18th of March,
1860, came on Friday instead of Sat
urday, that Bertha M. Clay wrote
Les Miserables," or that Peter
bought Manhattan Island
for twenty-four pounds of tobacco in
stead of $24. The news writer may
slip up on the name of Ethel City
toms pet poodle, or the kind of hat
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., wears, or
what Lloyd George eats for break
fast When he does, somebody is
sure to call him to account. And |
yet the editor of the Brownsville
Herald complains that there are no
arbiters of the newspapers He must

LATE CORN THIS YEAR is
BEST SUITED FOR sILAc


Practically all late corn grown in
Kentucky during the summer just
past will be better suited for silage
than for any other form of feed, ac.
cording to Wayland Rhoads, beef cat
tie specialist at the College of Agri-
culture. AS a result Of dry weather
experienced throughout the state dur
ing the corn growing season, the late
corn crop contains more stalk than
grain, thus making it especially de-
sirable as silage. Any farmer who
has field of late corn and an empty
silo has the possibilities for a full
supply Of good winter feed for his
"Of the 1000 silos in the state,
practically all of them will be filled
this fall. During the last two years
when labor costs were high and feed
costs low, there have been a few
cases where the silo was not as prof
liable as dry feeding. However, many
farmers have found that the silo was
a great saver of feed even under
these conditions. Having proved its
value to the farmer who keeps ten
cows or more throughout the winter,
the slio is now past the experimental
stage. In the case of a dairy, this
method of storing feed saves from
80 to 40 per cent of the feed. bill
Where steers are to be fattened in
the winter feed lot, the feeding of
silage in the ration is the general
rule because of the cheaper gains
which can be produced by this meth
cd. On farms where a breeding herd
is kept, the silo is even more valu-
able.
IF cattle are to be carried through
the winter and finished on grass the
following spring and summer, the
same field of corn that is fed dry will
feed one-third more cattle if placed
in the silo. The gains made by the
cattle the following spring on grass
are about the same under the two
methods of feeding. If the corn has
become dry before the silage is made,
it is best to add water as the silo is
being filed"

THE "VAMPv

THE "vAMP"
Coal black hair and eyes
And olive skin so dear;
oh, boys, she's a vamp-
Please don't go near!
A short dress and silk hose,
A large hat, so daring, too,
With powder and ipstick,
Drug store complexion-shoo!
A lowering Of eyelids
With lashes so black;
II you start to leave her
You'll meet yourself coming back,
A squeeze on your hand
And a little kiss so light
With a whispered VOW
Can you leave her? You might!
AS spider she weaves her web
Little boys to entrap;
If my sweetheart looked at her
He would surely get slap.
She vamps the young ones
And the old ones, too, aplenty,
But her favorite ages
Are nineteen and twenty.
She cares for no certain one,
Yet the fly thinks he has her heart,
And all the while she's kidding him
Doesn't she think she's smart!
She's got him fooled, I'll say she has,
Just watch his actions and you'll
see;
She is the spider and he is the fly
l don't care for vamps. Not me.
Do you know of anyone
This describes to T?
Don't come to a conclusion too soon,
For. you know, it might be be!
Boys, the moral of this is plain
Don't waste you smiles on a vamp,
For in the end she'll knock you cold,
And your heart will go clamp"
