HOOVER APPEARS IN ROLE
 OF WORLD COURT DEFENDER
Secretary Answers Critics, Denying That Membership Is
 Joining League

Des Moines. April is,---Answering the attacks of those who oppose Presi- dent Hardings proposal that the Unit cd States enter the permanent world court. Secretary Hoover addressing the National League Of Women Voters last night opened the public debate in which most of the prominent men of the country are expected to partici- pate.
 To go into tho court, Mir. Hoover said, would not be entering the league of nations In any sense, but would be tan essential step" in the direction Of world peace.
 He argued that American member ship in the court would aid in plac- ing international relationship on a basis of law rather than politics and would at the same time continue the American policy Of conciliation and good will exemplified in the arms con ference and in recent relations in La tin America,
 Opponents of membership in the league, he said, need not hang back from the court nor fear political en- tanglements through its operation. Replying directly to criticism by Sem ator Borah of Idaho. Mir. Hoover de- clared the senator really wanted now to go further than the American pco- pie were willing to follow.

STUDENT ACQUITTED
University of Kentucky Man Adjudgefl By Jury to Have Shot Watchnan in Self Defense.

Lexington, Ky. April l2.--When Warren Middleton, a student at the University of Kentucky here. shot and killed Joseph Self. night watchman al the university on February 10 last, he fired in self defense, a jury decided lat last night, after 40 minutes delib. crationfl. Only two ballots were taken
 it was announced today. The stu. dent faced much murder charge.
 Middleton. accompanied by Miss Clover Coleman, also university stu dent, was driving across the campus in violation of university rule. Self approached and declared with profan- ity that the couple were under arrest Middleton testified yesterday. As Mid- dleton started to drive away the watchman shot and wounded him, he said.
 Then, he declared, he swept the girl out of the line of fire with his right arm and fired one shot from ar automatic pistol with his left hand Four bullets from the night watch mans revolver struck Middleton. The student accompanied Miss Coleman to her dormitory and went to his room in boarding house where he was found by fellow students and taken to a hospital. Self died en route to 9 hospital.
 Miss Coleman, testifying for the de- fense, said she covered her face with her hands when the watchmans language became abusive. She heard the reports of the weapons, but she did not see 8 shot fired and was un- able to say which fired first

HOUSE OF COMMONS
 ROUNDLY CENSURED
Govt. Blunders and Opposition
 Causes Near Riot

London. April l2 tBy Associated Prcss) Neither the government nor tho opposition is likely to derive much satisfaction from the commen- tarics on yesterdays scene in the house of commons printed in me newspapers this morning, The gov ernmcnt is told that 1t has blundorcd and been slack, while the opposition Is informed that 1t has brought upon itself the dcnunciation customary when any party in the house lets vio- lcnce run away with reason.
 The Times, which gives general support to the government rebukes il for not showing n more accommo- dating attitude towards the opposi- ton but equally condemn's the lat ters violent temper.
 Predict Ministry's Tall
 The liberal newspapers charge the government with shiftiness and inca pacity and say that it's policy of tran quillity has proved to be policy or drift. The Chronicle says nobody hopes for any good from the present ministry and that few expect IL to last much longer. It adds that an early general election may be looked for.
 The Westminster Gazette asserts that the government lost if not the confidence, at least the unquestioning loyalty of it's followers,
 None of the newspapers. not even the Daily Herald, labor's organ, has anything to say in defense of the ac- ton of tLe laborite extremists which, according to universal testimony, was much to the distaste of J. Ramsay Macdonald and the moderate leaders
 With the exception of one or two of the newspapers there is no disposi- ton to attach much consequence to the ''red flag" outburst. The ultra conservative Morning Post makes the singing of the song a subject Of ed1- torial comment. Likening Mir. Mac Donald to MT, Silver and his followers to seamen that mutinied when their treasure island was reached. The newspaper professes disgust over the incident and describes the song as .'the slogan and symbol of red revo- luton"
 Objects to Red Flag
 Nevertheless MT. Macdonald IS said to have been gravely annoyed at the injection of the red flag into the proceedings. Some observers say that when it started he turned around sharply and frowned, waving a hand deprecatingly to his followers seated behind him. John Robert Clynes also shared Mir. MacDonald's annoy ance and joined in the attempts to silence the singers.
 Mir. Macdonald did not regard the singing of the red flag" as within the limits of constitutional opposition. He warned them generally to refrain from disorderly scenes and to pursue legitimate parliamentary tactics.
 Asquith Disguised
 None of the members on the gov ernment's side is reported to have been particularly shocked at hearing the revolutionary verses shouted Tor the first time in parliament, although Herbert H. Asquith is described by some observers as having left the house in disgust when the song start cd. Perhaps the scene recalled to him similar stormy occasion during
New Britain herald., 1923-04-12

his own premiership In 1919 when Ronald McNeill, the present under secretary of state for foreign affairs threw n hook across the table at Winston Churchill's head.
 Party Jealousy
 According to the Times, there Is considerable jealousy among the sec- tions of tho opposition over the anes' ton Of assigning credit for the gov ernment defeat Tuesday evening, The newspaper says that whenever lib- eral yesterday tried to put n point the laboritcs seemed to consider 1t a usur- patton of their official opposition.
 It is possible. the Times adds, that there may he renewed obstruction If James D, Millar, the independent lih- eral, whom the speaker has designed as first entitled to the floor today, tried to establish his right, Another possibility arising out of tho incidents of the last two days is that the con- scryativcs will demand n party meet ing to discuss the breakdown in the machinery which caused the govern ment's defeat.

HOMEGROWN RATloNs

1t is a matter of much practical i'm
portance to determine whether dairy
men can provide simple, cheap, HON
grown ration which will maintain high
production. If just as good results
could be secured from such home
grown ration as from one containing
a considerable amount of high-priced
purchased concentrates, farmers could
often greatly increase their profits.
Without question, the main source of
protein in an economical homegrown
ration must be legume hay, usually
clover or alfalfa.
The results of metabolism trials by
the Agricultural Chemistry Depart
ment have been previously reported in
which it was found that, on rations OF
alfalfa hay, corn silage, and corn or
barley, good dairy COWS could be kept
in positive nitrogen balance; i. e.,
without losing nitrogen from their
bodies. When clover hay was fed in
place Of alfalfa, the cows lost nitrogen
and their milk yield fell rapidly. This
was because clover hay did not furnish
sufficient protein to meet the needs of
the COWS for nitrogen nutrients.
To study further the effect of a
homegrown ration in which alfalfa
hay was the chief source of protein,
Messrs Morrison, Hulce and Memphey
have carried on feeding trials during
the past two winters. In each trial
ration of alfalfa hay corn silage, and
a concentrate mixture of corn and
oats was compared with ration
made up the same feeds plus linseed
and cottonseed meal. In the first ex-
pertinent each group of cows was con
tinued on the same ration through
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-04-05

out the entire winter period. This was
done as it seemed possible that the
homegrown ration might maintain a
high production for a brief period, but
that the amount of protein in the
ration might be too low to keep UP
the production throughout the winter.
In the second trial the double rever-
sal method was used so as to elimi-
nate the effects of the individuality
Of the cows.
In each trial the home grown ration
containing no purchased concentrates
maintained the yield of milk and of
butter fat as well as the ration to
which linseed meal and cottonseed
meal had been added These trials,
together with the results of the pre-
vious metabolism experiments, show
that, when cows have plenty of choice
alfalfa hay, there is no need of pur-
chasing expensive protein-rich concen
trates to keep up good production.
This is due to the fact that alfalfa
hay is sufficiently rich in protein to
balance the ration. In these trials the
nutrtiye ratio Of the home grown, al
falfa hay ration was 1853 to Ill.
For cows forced to maximum produc.
ton on official test, it is undoubtedly
desirable to increase the amount of
protein in the ration by the use of
protein-rich concentrates, even when
plenty of choice alfalfa hay is avail
able With such animals the object
sought is the largest possible yield of
milk without much regard for the
economy of production

Would be without a fine-tooth comb,
A box of ointment for the itch,
And earache drops, Glove oil and SIGH
But since she got EN- dom chores
And brushin' teeth and keepin' scores
They don't have lice nor seven year

And school goes on without a hitch.

Who used to run away from school;
Since fixin' up his throat and eyes
They say that boy is a surprise

For paying upkeep of her Ford;
Or say, as once did Deacon Frost,
That nurses pay is money lost"

One day I asked old Doc MCGEE
To let us in on his idee,
And, sakes alive but he was sore!
He cussed a streak and walked the
floor
What / advise will be ignored;
She'll drive about in that new Ford,
Directin what to drink and eat.
She'll boost for milk and knock on
meat
She'll weigh the kids and scan their
tongues,
Most likely listen to their lungs;
She'll plant lot of fool ideas
About consumption, Bright's disease
Arthritis, ricketts,, mumps and flu,
And no doubt tell EN- what to do
AT last old Doc, he SEE SEE he,
BY heck! she can't dictate to me-"
One day when passin Old Docs door
noticed there at east score
OF people waitin' for their turn,
1t made me curious to learn
What caused the run on nux and
squi1ls
And other cures for human ills.
Just then 10 Hinkson's wife and four
OF JOS five kids came through the
door,
Sleeves rolled up and the left arm
hare
And so were others waitin' there.
It sure was old Docs busy day,
Some sixty odd or more, they say.
Next day / met Doc on the street
SEE he, I've got some crow to eat,
He told me then about the case
Of smallpox down at Jones place.
The nurse nad found the kid in school
by heck says Doc, she-sure was
cool,
BY exercise of common sense
She saved this town a big expense.
A smallpox epidemic too
BY KNOWN what and how to do
She took him home just round the
block,
And told the folks to send for Doc.
She didn't tell 'en1 what it was,
(They saga real nurse seldom does)
You see" said Doc, our schools
amt closed,
We vaccinated all exposed.
It's better, don't you see, by far
To know right where them youngsters
are

When first she came, some time ago,
OF course folks didn't really know
Just what and how such nurses do,
Exceptin' maybe just few.
For instance, Deacon Ezra Frost
Allowed twas SO much money lost
Hard cash for jist a passin' fad,
A wicked waste too bad, too bad
Miss Babbie said how she knew
An interestin' thing or two.
Il don't speak names, but just you
mind
Somebody's got an ak to grind
