General Edwin F. Glenn, who died
recently at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. James A. Garfield, at
Mentor, Ohio, liked to refer to him
self as the grand daddy" of Long
Boy" a lifting, humorous war song.
Of which more than million
copies were sold.
When the general was in COM
mand OF the first officers training
camp at FIT. Harrison. Ind, he ask
ed William Herschell, poet and
special writer of the Indianapolis
News to compose war song with
a laugh in it.
AS Herschell left the command
ers office he saw couple of
lanky Hoosier youths crossing the
parade ground. They gave him the
inspiration for the lyric, the chorus
of which runs:
Il may not know what tn wars
about,
But you bet, by gosh, I'll soon
find out"
The song reached England and
France and there, too, found favor.
IF Bill Herschell was the father
of Long Boy, General Glenn

TOLEDO LEADS IN
GROWING CLOVER
This City Lies in Richest Area
in World

Toledo, O., Sept. LF - Toledo's
in clover, deeper than any city of
the world. Toledo plunged into
clover 60 years ago, and there she
has remained.
Lying in the midst of the great
clover growing area of the mid
west, where. this time of year, the
air over the farm lands is heavy
with the fragrance of clover bios
SONS, Toledo has become the inter
national clover center.
Glover prices of the world are
fixed on the Toledo trading floor,
and it is the only market where
trading in futures in clover seed is
lone on a large scale.
Market Long Established
Wallace Apologize, president of
the Toledo Produce Exchange,
traced Toledo's rise TO its pinnacle
as clover seed market.
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois
and Wisconsin are the great clover
growing states of the country, APP
plegate said, and it is because To-
ledo is situated in the midst of
these that it became the center of
the trade.
Trading in seeds began in Toledo
in the early COS, and, 60 years
ago, the Toledo Produce Exchange
was established. The present ex-
change was incorporated so years
ago.
Clover is raised in many parts of
the world, in England, France, and
Germany in Canada and in Chile,
but all these look to Toledo as the
center of the trade.
Scientific Service
Many services to dealers have
been developed with the growth of
the trade. The Exchange maintains
an efficient inspection department.,
a. seed laboratory where seed is
tested for termination and purity,
and a committee OF experts which
attends to the interests of the
market.
Trading in clover seed is done in
bushels, 60 pounds to the bushel.
The seed is put in bags, two and
half bushels to the bag. Future
contracts on seed are in lots of so
or mutiples of 50, with a minimum
carload of 200 bags.
Import from France
The practice of dealing in flu
lures on clover seed has made the
Toledo market an -year-around
proposition, with October, Decem-
Der and March the biggest trading
months. The first new crop trading
is for October delivery.
Postwar conditions have left
their mark on the Toledo clover
market, and therefore upon the
market of the world. American
farmers even in the clover belt,
have reduced the amount of clover
they raise and French clover, which
is of good grade but cheaper than
American clover. now figures in the
Toledo market to an important de-
gree, regardless of a tariff of four
cents a pound.

think the bomb had been intended
for the home Of Ginsberg, a profess

ago was kidnapped, shot and thrown
out of an automobile in the out

to the theory that political enmity
was responsible.
