clause enacted, at the instance of Sen ator Wesley L. Jones, than the British began to cry unfair discrimination, and the state department, always fear ing that our good relations with Eng land may be impaired, quietly suggest ed that the provision be not enforced. It is apparent that the board now in tends to make test, though with what success can only be imagined.
 The late President Harding offered a program providing for a government subsidy, which would have cost the tax payers less than they are now paying in deficits, but it aroused no enthusi- asm in congress. Our merchant ma rine is just where it was then-save that it is advancing in deterioration and our policy is one of drifting be- cause of public indifference or divided councils. The probability is that the shipping boards move, in the end will be merely another gesture.

of reaction is developing in the pub lie mind.
 The issue is whether the government has been defrauded and betrayed, and that is what the special council is pre- pairing to find out by direction of the president. From the outset Secre- tary Denby, of the navy department, has contended that the government ac- tually benefited from the leases, and he defended his policy on the ground that had the leases not been made un- der a law enacted at the request of President Wilson and Secretary Dan- iels, private drilling would have drain ed the federal reserves. What the courts will decide is whether the leases were obtained fraudulently. They may have been but we need not be too sure of it. If the courts decide that no fraud was practiced, then what is to be said of all the charges, character asassinations,' and political outcly with which the public has been regal ed for weeks?
 The grand jury and the courts will also decide whether any official, for mer official or private citizen has been guilty of wrongdoing. So far, despite the hullabaloo, there has been no inn putation of criminality against any of ficial or former official save one-Al- bert B. Fall. It is admitted that it looks "bad" for Fall. If he is guilty he will get his deserts. E any others are guilty regardless of politics or in- fluence, they too will get their deserts. Special counsel has been engaged by the president to see that the rights ot the government in every instance are protected.
 The people are getting tired of sen atorial froth and political clamor. They demand not scapegoat nor public sacrifice. All they ask is justice. The president has promised that and his promise is being kept. 1

GETTING DOWN TO BRASS
 TACKS

The so-callcd oil investigation in the senate has gone so far afield that the essential fact of the whole incident has been virtually overlooked. It is that the government, through the two special attorneys appointed by the president have started action in the civil courts to recover oil bearing prop critics which have been leased to pri- vate companies through alleged fraud and illegality. Meanwhile prepara- tions have been made to summon a grand jury at the national capital to investigate charges of criminality.
 The senate committee has been spending it's time for a week or two chasing after every wisp of gossip and listening to political tirades that have little or no bearing on the real issue Some aspects of the investigation, which has degenerated into little more than political mud-slinging bee, have bScll iISHLly lS1uleu GS outrageous duu infamous. The sheaves of telegrams that have been intercepted and broad Icasted before the country for the most part have fallen flat from their own triviality. The attempt, for instance, to injure the president through publi- cation of two or three telegrams which the committe found but which had not the slightest relation to the oil inquiry shows how far the political muckrak CTS are ready to go in the hope of gaining partisan advantage. What the partisans hoped for was that the pub lication of the telegrams would in some way leave in the public mind the impression that the president is linked with the oil scandal,
 Such tactics illustrate the lengths to which partisan politics will go on the eve of a presidential campaign ana al- SO show to what degree the investlga- tion has departed from it's original purpose. The country is speedily be- coming disgusted with the whole pro- ceeding and already a distinct feeling

OUR WHITE ELEPHANT MER-
 CHANT MARINE

The merchant marine question again is at the front, not alone through the action of congress for sweeping in vestigation" of the shipping board, but by reason of two important decisions of the board-first, an advertisement for the sale of the governments fleet; second, by it's decision to put into eff feet a clause of the shipping act giv- ing preferential rates to users of Am erican ships.
 The board recently advertised it's l. 335 passenger and cargo vessels, the ships to be sold under terms almost identical to those offered last year. The government now has approxi- mately 425 vessels in operation and the remainder being tied up in various ports of the United States. The to- tai includes 844 steel cargo ships, 324 steel freighters for lake trade, 43 steel tank ships, 27 steel passenger vessels, 14 steel refrigerator vessels, 20 steel tugs, 15 wooden tugs and various oth- CT small craft.
 On the face of the advertisement, it pears that the government wants to go out of the shipping business-as it does. But when the fleet was offered 4or sale last year there were virtually 10 DIQders. There is little prospect that tIls years venture will be any more successtm. 1t Is impossible to sell the ships at anything like their original cost or even approximately what they could have been sold for when shipping rates were sky-hlgh at- ter the war. The wartime merchant fleet cost about $3,000,000,O0O but probably today it could not be cashed Ill for much more than ten per cent of the original outlay. Many of the ves- tsels are practically worthless in com petition with the vessels of other na- tions, having been built at war speed and according to plans not now accept ed as best adapted to competitive ser vice. With about three-fourths of the ships tied up, the government is los ing close to $5O,OOO,OOO year, which comes out of the pockets of the tax payers generally.
 That the board hardly expects to have any success in it's proposed sale is indicated by the fact that it has vot- ed to put into effect a dead-letter clause which would grant rebates to users of American vessels. That the operation of this clause would help to fill our ships with cargoes is not de- nied anywhere. But no sooner was the

Silo Is Cheap and Best
Means of Providing Feed

The silo is the best and cheapest
means of providing succulent feed not
only for winter, but as a supplement
to short pastures during the long, dry
summer months, according to the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, which
states In a recent bulletin:
1t Is the cheapest farm building
that can be erected.
It will house feed at lower cost per
pound than hay or roughage can be
protected from the weather by barn
or hay NOW.
1t increases the producing capacity
of the farm at least 10 per cent and
will often increase its stock-carrying
capacity 25 per cent.
1t is the cheapest and most effective
method of soiling.
1t is the cheapest place to store
the corn crop, and, in fact, one of the
sllo's greatest advantages is the pos
sibility 1t affords If utilizing all of
the corn crop. An acre of corn can
be placed In the silo at cost not
exceeding that of shocking, husking,
grinding and shredding and will pre-
serve more nutrients and will produce
more milk per acre than any other
system of handling the crop.
1t saves third of the value of the
corn crop that Is otherwise largely
wasted
1t supplies feed at less labor and
there is less waste of fodder by cows.

Bees Quite Valuable to
MANY Growers of Fruit

Commercial beekeepers of today
move their bees many times each year
to keep them busy making honey after
the honey flow slows down in one To-
cation. To move a colony of bees
care must be taken to give them plenty
of air, as the Earring and excitement
cause them to create a great amount
of heat This excess heat will melt
the combs and honey. BY removing
the lid of the beehive and mailing a
screen on top of the hive In place OF
the lid the bee man will give this
heat chance to escape. The bees
should be moved ON a cool night if pos
sible.
In some fruit districts the fruit
growers pay the beekeepers 80 cents
a colony and move them besides to
their orchards, to pollinate the fruit
bloom There are many fruit and ber
ry yields that would be raised at
loss If it were not for the bees pol
linating the flowers.

Cultivation Is
Very Important

depth is sufficient. 1t will let air into
the soil to keep 1t sweet and keep the
moisture from escaping.
Morning Best Time.
The best time for cultivating is ear
ly in the morning to conserve such
moisture as has descended during the
night and prepare for the sun and
winds during the day.
The common hoe and the rake are
excellent tools for this purpose in
small gardens, but to make good job
of it In gardens Of any size, wheel
hoe should be brought into action.
You can go over the garden in hurry
and it can be cultivated twice or more
times In the time it would take to go
over 1t once with hoe besides saving
the WEAKNESS and backache that fol-
low swinging hoe for any length of
time.

Now Pastures Regularly
to Prevent Weed Growth

The pasture should be moved regu-
larly to prevent any weeds from going
to seed If a pasture Is moved regu-
larly for two seasons, the majority
of weeds will be eradicated.
Moving will not only prevent many
weeds from going to seed, but It will
reduce the low shade In the pasture
and thus give the native grasses and
legumes plenty of sunlight and a
chance to grow, says S. L. Jeffords,
forage crops specialist at Clemson col
lege, who insists that one moving
will not do and that to get thicker
and better stands of the desirable
grasses and legumes the moving must
be regular

Feeding Roots of Plants
Must Be Given Chance to
Penetrate Soil.

All the fertilizer in the world with
out proper cultivation won't make
good garden. If a gardener expects
to have a garden without cultivating
early and often, he will be disappoint-
ed. He might as well give up at the
start. Cultivation not only acts as a
fertilizer, but saves fertilizer. 1t also
saves water bills in dry weather.
The first object of cultivation Is to
secure tilth-that Is fine powdery
condition of the soil so that when
turned over II will fall apart easily
and not separate into big, soggy Jumps
that need to be hammered to be
broken. 1t is apparent that the small
feeding roots Of plants can penetrate
and secure their food much more read
lily in well-tilled, friable soil than in
a heavy, lumpy, soggy one.
Cultivate Every Week.
The garden should be gone over and
cultivated once week. BY this Is
meant not only the destruction of
weeds but the stirring of the soil about
the plants. Cultivation should be done
after rain, as soon as the soil has
dried out enough so as not to be
muddy and stick to the tools. This
would result only In a lumpy condi-
ton. Cultivation just before water
Ing In dry times will also tend to make
the soil lumpy. Cultivate after water
Ing to keep the moisture in the ground.
There is right time to cultivate and
it will pay a gardener to study the
soil until he recognizes the condition
which will permit fine cultivation as
soon after a rain or after watering
as possible.
Cultivation helps to retain moisture
in the soil by establishing thin cover
ing of thinly divided soil often called
a dust mulch This does not evaporate
moisture as rapidly as closely packed
surface nor does it act as sponge
to draw up moisture from below as
rapidly as does firm and unstirred
SOIL Drawn to the surface by capil-
larry attraction the sun and winds soon
take moisture away.
Cultivate more frequently in dry
than wet weather. An inch or two in

Get-out-the-vote methods suggested
by the National League of Women
Voters have been used with marked
success In the recent Hawaii primary
and election. Word to this effect has
been received by the national league
officers from the Hawaii League OF
Women Voters, which has member
ship of more than 500.
Individual instruction In the use OF
the ballot was given to hundreds of
women, and the Hawaii league reports
that the number of incorrectly marked
ballots was very much less In the cleo
ton than in the primary. As the
league was the only organization In
Hawaii teaching women how to vote,
the Improvement In voting technique
Is credited to the efforts Of Its mem
bers. OF the registered women voters,
S7.6 voted, and of the men 87.9 were
recorded, difference of three-tenths
