ROBT. {. OLDS GETS
DEPARTMENT POST
Former Partner of Kellogg
Appointed Assistant Sec
retary of State.

President Coolidge today appointed
Robert E. Olds of St. Paul Assistant
Secretary of State.
Mr.. Olds is a member of the law
firm in which Secretary Kellogg was
a partner before he entered the SEN
ate. The appointment resulted from
the desire of Mr.. Kellogg to bring
to his aid lawyer to whom he can
transfer some of the burden of in
quiring into State Department legal
questions.
The Secretary has found 1t neces-
sary' to make such examinations
himself up to this time, since none
of his assistant secretaries were
lawyers of experience.
Mrs. Olds succeeds John Van A.
MacMurray, who is en- route to his
new post as Minister of Peking.

Dispatches from Puebla say W. o.
Jenkins, former United States con.
sular agent at Puebla. whose kidnap-
ing by Mexican bandits in 1919 created
a serious international situation, has
hoisted the American flag over all his
ranch properties in Puebla State. The
dispatch added disorders are feared
and much ill-feeling has been caused
because the Mexicans consider this
action a taunt.
Mr.. Jenkins was kidnapped by Mexi.
can bandits at Puebla and held for
$3.50, 900 ransom October %, 1919. He
was released four days later after
the Mexican government had sent
troops to his rescue and the American
State Department had made strong
representations to the Mexican foreign
office. Subsequently assertions were
made that Mr.. Jenkins had been a
party to his alleged kidnapping for po-
litica1 purposes. A prolonged contro-
versy was caused by the assertion and
finally was carried through the Mexi-
can higher courts.z% He was cleared
of all charges in July, 1920, and then
instituted suit against the Mexican
government for false imprisonment.
Jenkins owned considerable prop:

PARIS, June 16.-Franco-S Spanish
cooperation against Add ell Krim' 8
tribesmen in Morocco has begun,
Premier Painleve told correspondents
after today's cabinet meeting.
He said two French warships were
patrolling the Moroccan coast and
that "a provisional accord has been
reached between Spain and France
for warships of both countries to keep
a sharp lookout along the Moroccan
seaboard to prevent contraband arms
reaching the tribesmen."
NJ Painleve said Gen. Daugan would
be maintained in command of all
French troops in the field in Morocco
and that the government did not in
tend to send Gen. Weygand to take
charge of the Moroccan campaign.
He said there are now Sufficient
French forces in Morocco to permit
replacing those that have been in the
front lines for several weeks. These
troops will be brought TO the rear for
a rest.
Painleve Back From Front.
The French cabinet today approved
Premier Painleve's plans for quick
termination of the Riffian warfare. NJ.
Painleve arrived from Morocco. where
he visited the French front, five min
utes before the cabinet session began.
The premier reported to the cab
met the measures he had taken while
in Morocco ito reduce to a minimum
the risks and duration of the military
operations there" The nature of
these measures was not explained.
The cabinet was in session three
hours discussing the Moroccan and
financial policies, but the official com
munique revealed nothing regarding
the political aspects of the govern
ment's course in Parliament this
week, when the fate of both the Left
bloc and of the Painleve government
may be decided.
After the cabinet meeting Premier
Painleve said he did not intend to
make an extended declaration before
the chamber, as he did not think the
interpellations to be made by the
Communist deputy. NJ. Doriot. would
be important. The premier said,
however. he would hold himself in
readiness to appear before the com
mittee of the chamber to give detail

Men! Don't Come

Doctors say that in an enormous
number of cases when men come
home physically and mentally "all
in," nervous and cranky, the real
cause is not hard work, but thin,
pale, watcry blood, deficient in
strength giving iron. Once this
iron is restored to the blood II is
often astonishing how quickly these
men gain new strength, nerve force
and cnduranco.
But be sure the iron you take IS
organic iron-lNuxatcd Iron and
not the old-fashioncd liquid medi-
ciucs and pills made by the action
of powerful acids on ordinary min
eral iron. Nuxated Iron is ma
tural organic iron, like the iron IN
your own blood, aud like that IN
spinach and lcntils. Does not ln'
lure teeth nor disturb the stomach.
So remarkable arc tho effects of
Nuxated Iron that thousands of
weak, nervous, tagged out men and

strength energy and endurance IN
only two weeks time.
Try Nuxated Iron just two weeks.

New Alfalfa Pest Is Menace
Which Must Be Combatted as
Ravages On Plant Soon Evident

1Ssi1 to the buds and tender shoots
of the alfalfa plant. 1t causes
swelling of the buds, distortion,
and makes them clubshapeh. Buds
so affected never proceed in devel-
opment. The young shoots may in
crease their length, but they are
spindly, with pronounced enlarge
ments at the nodes or joints. Af-
ter irrigation or rainfall, the in
tested buds and stems bleach out
rapidly so that an infested plant
can be recognized from some dis
tance by its whitish color.
Color of Plants Is Gray
Under dry conditions, inspection
of field for infcstation requires
greater effort on the part of the
inspector. The color of the plants
usually ranges from normal to
gray. The plants appear distress
ed, which appearance is made evi-
dent by the upright standing of
only a few tall stems. At the
base of these there are numerous
aborted, swollen stems about three
inches high. Inspection of field,
1t is necessary to search for these
aborted stems near the crown. In
brief, it means getting down on
hands and knees.
From what was stated in the
previous paragraph, it becomes evi-
dent that one of the damages done
to alfalfa is prevention of the
stems to grow tall. Combining this
effect with the killing of buds, the
yield of the alfalfa can be reduced
to almost nothing. Thg disaase
often does not show pronounced cf-
fects during the first year, after
seeding. During the third year the
yield may be reduced to nothing. A
case has been found where three
years ago, dairyman fed 12 cows
ON II acres, but since the disease
struck the alfalfa he has great diff
ficulty in keeping three cows on
the same acreage.
IN those localities where a wide
range of crops is feasible, diseased
alfalfa can be followed without

The alfalfa stem nematode<has
become new crop pest/which
must be guarded against and com
batted. 1t should not be confused
with the well known root-knot ne
matode. The two are different
parasites, although both can be
called eel-worms. They differ in
structure, action upon the host
plant and scientific classification.
While the root-knot nematode re-
mains underground and attacks only
the roots and underground stems of
plants, the alfalfa stem nematode
attacks the above ground parts, as
buds and stems. The two nema-
todes are similar in the important
respect that both cause great dam
ages ITO any crops attacked.
During the past three yenrs,
special investigation of poor stands
in alfalfa fields in several western
states revN?led that the alfalfa
stem ncmatode was the cause of
much of that poor stand. The
states in which the disease was
found are Idaho, Washington, Ore
gon, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico
and California. How much of the
disease is present i'll each of these
states is not exactly known, be
cause the discovery of the disease
was made only recently. Time has
not permitted complete investiga-
tions.
The ncmatodc can be carried from
ranch to ranch or locality to locali-
ty in hay, in trash with seed, by
wash water, in manure and on farm
machinery. 1t is probable that the
pest was introduced into California
with alfalfa seed. Years ago, ships
returning light from Europe carried
dirt as ballast which was dumped
on shore on arrival. That many
nematodcs were brought over to
this coast in that manner, is well
established by the abundance of the
pest found in such dint piles.
The nematode travels from the
