Legume Hay Should be
Used for Livestock
u. S. Dairy Head Says Production
Lays Behind with Nonlegum-
inous Hay

Washington, Dec. 12.-Dairy
men ought to raise and feed their
stock more legume hays. If they
would their feed bills would be
reduced materially. This is the adj
vice of j. R. Dawson, senior dairy
husbandman of the bureau of dairy
industry Of the department of ag-
riculture.
For 1000 years agriculturists
have recognized the superior feed
ing value of legume hays, yet today
only Al per cent of the hay grown
in the United States is of this
kind" said Mr.. Dawson. "In the
north central and north Atlantic
states, which contain &c per cent
of all the dairy cows in the coun-
try, the farmers grow two tons of
non-legume hay to one of legume
hay" -
During 1927 the average acre of
alfalfa yielded 2.79 tons of hay per
acre, clover Its tons per acre,
and timothy LAB tons per acre the
average acre of alfalfa produced
almost Z times as much digestible
protein, more than twice as much
total digestible nutrients, and Is
times as much lime as did timothy.
Gin other words" says Dawson,
"15 acres of timothy would have
to be grown, harvested and fed to
produce as much lime as one acre
of alfalfa. 1t would require ap-
proXimately seven acres of timothy
hay to produce as much crude di-
gestible protein as one acre of al
falfa.
"When the price of alfalfa is
around $12 a ton it will furnish 100
pounds of digestible protein for
$5.65, whereas from tomothy hay
at $11 a ton the same amount of
protein costs 1885. Even when
compared with the high protein
concentrates, such as linseed meal
and cottonseed meal at SAT to $50
a ton, alfalfa compares favorably
the cost of protein. The cost of
the dairy ration may be reduced
materially by supplying a portion
of the protein with alfalfa hay or
some other legume grown on the
farm. The legume that can be
most practically produced on a
given farm is the one that should
DE given first consideration"

J. c. Penney Co. to Add
Five Hundred Stores
Retail Organization Complete Plans,
to Extend National Scope
of Retailing

The J. &c. Penney Co., operators
of 1918 retail department stores
will negotiate 500 leases for new
store locations this spring for
stores to be opened as rapidly as
store units can be developed in a
special expansion move just author
lied by the board of directors. This
expansion will involve an increase
in retail sales of between $40, OO0,-
900 and $5O,OOO,OOO over the pres
ent rate around $190,000,000 a
year. The store locations will be
confined to cities and towns of
from $500 to 5000 population.
'The decision of the board of di-
rectors to authorize this new store
movement comes largely as re-
suit of a national demand from the
smaller towns for J. C. Penney Co.,
stores and SERVICE" says Earl &C..
Sans, president.
.i'Mr. Penney has just returned
from a trip lasting four months,
during which he has covered sew
'enteen central western, southern
and far western states. / have re-
Gently covered several of the east
central states. We have both dis
covered that the smaller towns,
with increased transportation ia
cilities are demanding the same
kind of shopping accommodations
that the larger cities are enjoying.
In many cases secretaries of the
local Chambers of Commerce have
invited US. to open stores in their
towns. This is a tribute not so
much to the growth of the j. C..
Penney Co., as it is to the type of
service it renders.
"The store units which will be
established in these new locations
will be duplicates in stock, equip
ment and facilities for service, of
the stores we are now operating in
every state in the union.
Following the established pol
icy of the j. C. Penney Co., man
ayers for the new locations win be
selected from the present store
personnel. We now have, in the
company, sufficient men to take
care of the managerial duties in the
new stores as fast as they are OPP
ened."
Early in 1928, the j. C.. Penney
Co., announced that a new ware
house would be erected in st.
Louis, Mo-, and this new structure
is now nearing completion. 1t will
be utilized to serve the company
stores in the south and the south
west. The present warehouse in
New York city will serve the East
ern section of the country. i

Freight Trains Collide
in Heavy Fog Friday
Engineer and Brakeman Injured in
Wreck Near St. Joe-Eight
Cars Derailed

Traffic was resumed on the main
line of the Great Northern railroad
this morning after the debris of
rear end collision which resulted
from the heavy fog last night at st.
Joseph, causing painful injury to
two persons, railroad employees, and
derailing three cars on the first
train and five cars on the second
train, in addition to tearing track
on the main line up for some dis
tance.
Two heavily loaded grain trains
were following each other eastward
through the fog and both were to
sidetrack at st. Joseph. The first
train was nearly all on the side
track at the time of the crash and
Ed Schmoltz, rear end brakeman,
had unloaded to signal the second
grain train which was coming down
the mainline.
With the heavy fog obscuring
vision and the first train not
quite clear of the main line, Engi-
neer Peter Spengler, of st. Cloud.
running his engine at reduced
rate of speed, but little closer
to the yards than he thought, evil
IDENTIFY, suddenly saw the caboose
of the first train loom ahead of
him in the fog, just a few feet
away.
ISpengler called to Clarence A.
Matson, of Melrose, the head end
brakeman of the second train. and
his brakeman, who was not in
injured, and then jumped from the
engine. His back was badly
wrenched and his body and face
were bruised and cut by the fall,
while his companions in the cab es-
capped without injury, except for
minor cuts which Matson received
from flying glass as beam pene-
trated the glazing of the cab.
The engine and five grain cars
were derailed and Spengler's train
and three cars and the caboose of
the other train were derailed and
badly damaged. Matson and
Spengler were brought to the hos
pital here and Matson was released.
Spengler is not in a serious con-
dition, but his injuries are painful.
Had anyone been in the caboose of
the first train certain death would
have been his fate.
Wreckers and repair crews were
assembled from two directions
and feverish work through the
night permitted repair of the right
of-way. Other trains during the
night were routed by way of Will
mar. and service was disrupted to
considerable extent for short
time. - st. Cloud Journal-Press,

Knights Templar viii
Hold Christmas Service
Pilgrim Commandery Entertains
Officers of Grand Command
cry Friday Evening

Friday evening of last week
Grand Standard Bearer Clarence
C. Cotton, of Duluth, made the
inspection of Pilgrim Command
cry, Knights Templar, of this city.
Grand Commander Charles G.
Orr, of St. Paul, accompanied by
Grand Sword Bearer j. P. East
on, of Minneapolis, arrived and
just before the dinner hour and
in connection with Mr.. Cotton
were informally entertained at the
Palmer House by Asa M. Wallace
and Rev. T. B. Shorts, represent
ing Pilgrim Commandery.
Mr.. Orr, the Grand Command
er, is one of st. Paul's leading at
torneys. He has represented the
Hamline district in the State Legis-
lature, for a long time, first in
the House, and in the Senate for
the past dozen years.
In his informal talk Mr.. Orr said
that he came to Sank Centre on
this occasion because of the kind
ly remembrance he had of Pilgrim
Commandery on his previous visits.
The Grand Commander urged
that Pilgrim Commandery estab-
lish the service of holding services
at the Temple on Christmas morn
ing from IL 100 a. M, until noon.
The service is not obligatory, mere
ly a request. In view of the fact
that the Senator had driven up
from St. Paul especially to at
tend this meeting it was voted to
hold the first Christmas service at
the Masonic Temple Christmas day
morning. This service will be en-
tirely informal, without uniforms,
and all Sir Knights are urged to
make a special effort to attend this
service.

Late Saturday night someone
gained entrance to the O'Gara Oil
station, at 5th and Main street,
and made away with a seven tube
Atwater Kent Radio set, fully
equipped. Apparently entrance
was gained by the office door with
the aid of a skeleton key. Frank

VIENNA, April 30.-Vienna is
like an armed camp today, police
stations have been provided with
iron shutters, barbed wire entangle-
ments have been constructed around
several, and armored trucks are be-
ing held in readiness by the mo-
bilized Austrian police who fear
that the resentment of the militant
Viennese workers may turn into
fury as May Day is at hand and
Bella Kun, the jailed Hungarian Com
munist leader, has not been released.
The social democratic press is
urging the workers to offer no show
of violence in the face of the inso-
lent seizure of the former leader of
the Hungarian Soviet Republic.
Altho the Horthy government of
Hungary has demanded the release
of Bella Kun, it is pointed out here
that Kun is not a Hungarian citi-
zen and hence cannot be extradited.
attention is also being drawn to the
xact that Kun was exchanged as a
prisoner of war for Austrian prison
ers still in the Soviet Union in 1920,
and that Kun's return to Austria is
not illegal.
The Austrian officials are known
TO be waiting instructions from the
leading powers, notably Great Bri-

PLANES FAIL TO

Admit Marshall Was
Long Known Safe

MANAGUA, April 30.-The fa'l-
ure of the marine bombing planes
to locate the Nicaraguan army of
independence of General Sandino has
considerably dampened the enthusi-
asm with which the American in
vestors in eastern Nicaragua have
received the arrival in Puerto Ca
bezas of the 200 marines rushed
eastward from Corinto at the time
of Sandino's march west.
The arrival in Puerto Cabezas of
a recruiting officer and several sol
diers from the army Of independ-
ence has aroused the widest JOY
among the Nicaraguan population
and heightened the apprehension of
the Americans who believe that the
Sandino forces may be in the neigh
borhood. A raid on the port is con-
sidered as possible.
Violent criticism of the American
officials is being INDUCED by the
American investors who assert that
their holdings on the east coast and
eastern interior of Nicaragua far
exceed those in the western part of
the country and are receiving in
adequate protection.
MANAGUA, April 3O.-It is ad-
mitted by the American authorities
that George B. Marshall, manager

PASADENA, Calf, June 7. -
Thomas II. Preston, president of the
American Bankers Association will
be the chief speaker at today's ses-
sion of the 34th annual convention
of the California Bankers Associa-
tion.
The fourd day gathering convened

today.
The bankers devoted the morning
and afternoon to the trust company
session and in the evening turned to
matters concerning the American
Institute Of Banking, education di-
vision of the American Bankers
Association.
The fact that there is no law OPP
erative in the state providing for
special taxation of intangibles, pro-
vidps a problem, difficult in itself,
which is complicated by its interre-
lation with the direct effect upon
the problem of bank taXation' Vim

ton.
1--WE cannot tax moneyed capital
in competition with national banks
upon a more favorable basis if We
attempt to continue our present
method of assessing banks shares at
their full vaIue,' Butler said.
This means we cannot exempt
mortgages and that we cannot tax
intangible securities at favored
! rate.
cit also means that the rccogniz-
! ed practice of assessing property
generally at 40 or 30 percent of its
value is subject to challenge.
He declared that attention is
therefore being concentrated on
! bank taxation, the federal statute
permitting four methods.
The share me thod now in force
will not square with the exemptions
mentioned or reduction of the tax
