era OF adventure and turmoil, the

which shocked the world; all belong to

A strange paradox of politics is
that which now brings to the spot

country. Much like running after a car

Samoa is really group of IA islands
of varied shapes and sizes lying In the

1900 miles southwest of San Francisco.
The islands are of volcanic origin, ex-

PENN TAKES ANOTHER
 STEP TO COURT TITLE
Basketball Team Runs Its String of Victories to Six By Defeat
 ing Yale

New York, Feb. 20 CP-Pennsyl- vania's court aggregation has driven another spike into the eastern inter- collegiate basketball league cham pionship for 1929.
 The Red and Blue five. upset Yale, 2S to 20, in a stubbornly con- tested battle last night and ran it's string of league victories 10 six without 8 defeat. Only four more games. three of them at home, re- main on Penn's schedule. and the Philadelphians apparently can coast into their second consecutive cham pionship. Every other league rival has been beaten at least twice so that Penn still can lose two of its four games and finish in a tie for the it hardly appears that Joey Schaaff and his team mates will be stopped at all unless Dartmouth turns the trick at Hanover on March ?. The Quakers have been invincible at home as well as abroad.
 Yale gave Penn quite a battle Of it but in the end the Ellis could not stop Schaaf who tallied six field goals and two fouls and this splurge was what counted heavily against the home team. The star Pennsyl- vania forward now has scored 76 Doinfs in lcap,,e games and holds a wide lead over the field for the in- dividual scoring chafnp pionship.
 Tonight Cornell entertains coium- bia at Ithaca. A Cornell victory. which seems extremely probable. will send the Ithacans into undis- rupted possession of second place in tho standings.

Judge Hardy admitted he accepted the $2.5VO. but he denied he had aided the evangelist in the criminal case or that he had interceded for her. A member Of the 1926 grand jury, however, testified that Hardy had warned him to Hay off the Aimee case
 tifed that Judge Hardy's alleged warning had been discussed among the grand jurors. Other witnesses testified that Judge Hardy had been active in attempting to substantiate the evangelist's story.
 The gift" Of the money to Judge Hardy was made known several months ago by Mrs. Minnie Ken nedy, mother of the Evangelist and former business manager of An gelus Temple. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. McPherson had disagreement more than a year ago. In reviewing the transaction. Mrs. Kennedy hint ed that the whole truth about her daughters Kidnapping story had not been made public.
 More Charges Likely
 Chairman Little said that if the assembly adopts the committee rec ommendation and votes to impeach the jurist. additional charges of practicing law in office. obstruction Of justice and malfeasanee in office would be included in the accusa- tions.
 Committee members said the in- clusion of the obstruction of justice accusation would permit the legis- lature to reopen and investigate the charges against the evangelist which resulted from her Kidnapping story.

Proper Care Of
Alfalfa Stand
Is Richest Hay When Cut
Early and Produces More
Gain in Stock.

(By L. E. WILLOUGHBY Extension Crops
It Specialist, Kansas State Agricultural
n Colege.)
After a stand of alfalfa is obtained,
the length of time it will live depends
on how it is handled. Frequent early
cuttings before the bloom stage will
so weaken alfalfa that weeds and
grass will come into the stand in one
or two years.
At Manhattan on twO-year-old
stand that was cut Oh an average of
five times year, with an average of
81 days between cuttings, weeds and
grass came in after one year. This
was cut in the bud stage. A stand
that was cut in the tenth bloom stage
kept the grass and weeds out for four
years. When cut in the full bloom
stage weeds and grass did not bother
over a period of eight years. Where
it is desired to maintain a strong
stand of alfalfa, it seems advisable to
cut alfalfa between the tenth and the
full bloom stage. Where the highest
quality of hay is desired. the earlier
cuttings may be practiced at the ex-
pense of maintaining the stand.
Early CIT alfalfa is the richest hay
and produces more gain when fed to
live stock than does late cut hay. An
occasional early cutting probably will
not injure the vigor of an alfalfa stand.
If, for any reason, it is desirable to
cut one crop early, the following crops
should be allowed to approach full
bloom.
Another common abuse to an alfalfa
stand is to cut late in the fall. Some
times after the third or fourth cutting
a six or eight inch growth is formed.
Such growth appears to stand still
as cold weather approaches. If short
Of hay, the grower may be tempted
to cut this crop but if he does he is
likely to weaken his next years stand.
There is experimental evidence to
show that as winter approaches al
falfa plants attempt to build up re-
serve food in their roots for winter
protection. Such an aftermath will
offer considerable winter protection to
the alfalfa plants.
