Top-Dr'essing Is
Tonic For Pasture

Top-dressing makes a good
spring tonic for old pastures, says
John A. Arey, extension dairy
specialist at State college.
Give the old grass a dose of
plant food and it will soon be
growing thickly enough to supply
good grazing while new pastures
are still too young and tender, he
pointed.
For sandy soil, Arey said 800
pounds Of 4-S-4 fertilizer may be
applied to the acre; clay soils
should receive the same amount
of 4-12-3 mixture.
But a spring tonic by itself may
not be enough to reclaim the sod
in time if the grass has got too
thin, Arey added, and lin this
event the thin spots should be re-
seeded when the fertilizer is APP
piled.
If the soil is reasonably loose,
the seed and fertilizer may be
drilled in satisfactorily with a
disk drill, he continued.
Soil that has become hard pack
ed should be sacrificed first with
a. disk harrow, and then the seed
and fertilizer can be drilled in
without difficulty.
After pointing out that pastur-
age is the best and cheapest feed
that can be supplied cattle and
workstock, Arey stated that the
animals, especially young cattle,
should be inspected for lice.
A calf heavily infested with lice
cannot make a good growth, even
when plenty of rich, succulent
pasturage is available, he pointed
out.
In cold weather, infested ami
mails may be busted with a mix
ture of equal parts of flowers of
sulphur and ground sabadilla seed
or sodium fluoride. On warm days
they may be sprayed or sponded
with lime-sulphur, cold tar, or MIC
otine dips.

say broke the tie, thereby precipi-
tating what probably will be one
of the bitterest battles ever fought
before the state supreme court.
SEEKS MANDAMUS WRIT
For the veteran Coleman, how
ever, the battle was not finished.
After studying the case several
days, Coleman filed a petition
with the court seeking a writ of
mandamus to prevent certifica-
ton of the resolution which had
passed the house in the meantime.
The Kansas constitution is am
biguous on the authority of the
lieutenant governor. One section
says the president Of the senate.
who is the lieutenant governor,
shall cast his vote only in case Of
tie. Another rule reads that a
bill shall be regarded as passed
when a majority of the elected
members Of the senate votes for
it.
In his petition Coleman charges
that Lindsay did not have the
right to vote because the tally was
on a resolution which had the eff
feet of a bill. He also charged
the resolution did not receive a
majority vote of the members of
the senate since Lindsay was
elected to the office of lieutenant
governor and therefore was not a
member of the senate.
DISPUTES RIGHT TO VOTE
an other words" Coleman said,
''the lieutenant governor is a
member of the executive and not
the legislative branch of govern
ment. Since a bill to be passed
must receive a majority vote of
the legislators I contend the reso-
luton has not been passed be-
cause Lindsay is not legislator
but merely a presiding officer"
The outcome of the case not
only will determine whether Kan
sas will ratify the child labor
amendment but also determine if
the lieutenant governor has the
rlRnl 10 NOlt VII lceiSiaSlOh'
The case will find brilliant legal
talent and an unusual lineup in
solar as politics is concerned.
Aligned with Governor Huxman
for the defense will be E. r. Sloan,
a Democrat and former member
of the state supreme court, and
the state attorney general, Clar-
ence V. Beck, who is a Republic
can.
Robert Stone, Topeka attorney
and a Republican. will assist Cole
man in arguments for the plain
tiffs. Stone is regarded as one
of the outstanding lawyers of
Kansas and has been a consistent
opponent of the child labor
amendment.
Beck has been a consistent sup
porter of the amendment and
worked with Landon when the lat
ter was governor to obtain ratifi-
cation of the amendment.
Six of the seven members of the
Kansas supreme court are Repub-
licans.

Shanghai Buying
Bootleg Books
Photostatically Copied,
They Sell Cheaply

SHANGHAI. March 16. (UP.
Thousands of foreign books. prin-
cipally in the English language
are being Enthusiastically copied IN
Shanghai and sold at a fraction
of the price of the original edi-
tions.
Although China has an etec-
tive copyright law, its provisions
require translation of each VOL
ume into Chinese, not always an
easy thing to arrange, and few
foreign publishers have taken the
trouble to protect their titles IN
the China market. ,
In addition. the International
Settlement, which is not subject
to Chinese laws, provides a haven
for literary "pirates," and it IS IN
the Settlement that most OF the
copied books are sold.
The condition first came to
notice with the publication OF
Col. Henry L. Stimson's "The Far
Eastern Crisis" A Chinese print
ing firm immediately announced,
in large newspaper advertise
ments, that it would reprint the
volume for sale in China at a low
price. The city government of
Greater Shanghai (Chinese) as a
friendly gesture to American IN
terests. promptly banned the pub
LEGATION.
The ban, however, did not pre-
vent the later appearance of pho
tostatic copies at Settlement book
stores. The volumes, reproducing
the American edition almost in
complete detail, sold for $3.50
Chinese currency (about 81 cents
American), as against $3.50 for
the original.
:. The book is enjoying a good
sale, having been widely adver-
tised as History of the Chinese
national crisis"
But "The Far Eastern Crisis" is
only one of hundreds of books be-
ing Enthusiastically reprinted and
sold in Shanghai. Most Of the vol
umes issued in this manner are
textbooks, particularly the high
priced ones on technical subjects.
Medical and engineering students,
unable to afford the American-im-
ported books, but requiring them
for their studies, are pleased pa
irons of the book "pirates."
Four firms in the city have been
doing the bulk of the business in
this field. In order to avoid cut
throat competition, they have es-
tablished joint business office,

INDIANAPOLIS, March 16. -
(UP). - Nearly II years ago Il
man walked rapidly up to city
policeman in the Union railway
station here, handed him pack
age with the request: Hold this"
Curious, the patrolman took him
to headquarters where the pack
age was opened and found to con-
tain S4O17 in small bills.
The stranger identified hirYelf
as John Janosh, real owner of the
currency. Police placed him in a
room and placed the money in

trust in a local bank.
From time to time Janosh made
small withdrawals for living ex-
pcnscs. Finally, in March. 1921,
he withdrew $3.50 and disappear
cd.
Unable to find its ward, friends
or relatives, the bank had him de-
clared legally dead by a probate
court, turning over to the state
treasury the estate with accrued
interest.

BABIES FOR CANNON FODDER

In some countries the people are
urged TO have more babies. because
young men must be raised to fight
for their native country. The par
ents who bring these babies into
the world will want some assurance
they are not to be used as cannon
fodder.
World Peaceways, an anti-war Or
ganization. is publishing advertise
ments showing what war really
means. One of those expected soon
to appear, shows a baby lying ON a
butchers block. conveying the idea
that the innocent little creature will
be sacrificed to the war mania.
If the peoples of the world can't
stop killing each other because of
their foolish quarrels. they would
do well to stop having children. If
the human race has no more sense
Than to destroy itself with deadly !
bombs and gases. it should reduce its \
numbers until its fighting races learn |
more sense

NOISY AIRPLANES

In some locations where many air.
planes are flying overhead. there is
complaint that some of them fly too
low and make too much noise. Per-
haps some airplane learners take
pleasure in flying over their home
neighbOrhOods. and showing in a
noisy way what great stunts they
are performing.
When the number of airplanes be-
comes 10 or 20 times what ii is now,
the regulation of their habits will
become important. The home folks
will not like a constant roar over
their heads. and when an aviator
makes a sudden swoop downward, it
will worry them for fear he has
lost control of the critter. If people
drive planes then the way many
now run their automobiles, the roofs
Of the houses may need strengthen
ing to stand up against the dropping
craft.

go SWIMMING POOLS

One achievement of the WPA is
the construction of $50 swimming
pools in localities scattered over the
land. Habits of cleanliness should
BE- promoted by these facilities. Per-
haps the boy who once kicked on his
Saturday night bath, will discover
how much nicer it feels to be clean,
and will want to keep up the habit
all through the year.
Some kind of a public swimming
place should be considered an es-
sential of modern life. In most places
the expense of building it will not
be great, provided an ample water
supply can be had. The restlessness
that keeps the young crowd tearing
around the country, will not be so
marked if there is a home town pool
to splash in. ....

THE SALESMAN REMEMBERED

A friend remarks that he went in
to store for a certain article some
six months ago. and did business
with a salesman who was a stranger
10 him. The customer asked for
goods having a certain quality. A
few days ago he went to the same
place. and saw the same salesman
and asked for the same thing. but
said nothing about the particular
quality he had mentioned before.
The salesman recognized him,
although he did not know him per-
sOnally, and remembered what he
had said before. He remarked that
his store always carried the goods
of the quality this customer asked
for previously. A salesman who can
thus remember individual customers
and their needs. even though not
acquainted with them personally, is
going to be very valuable to his en-
ployer.

WAR DAMAGE

1t takes many years, often CEN
turies. to build up great city. but
when the dogs of war are let loose,
they can level it to the ground in a
few days or weeks. They know all
about that in the world famous city
OF Shanghai. where in a few days
$l75, 100000 worth of property has
been wrecked by the furious fight
ing between Japanese and Chinese.
1t is strange that some people are
unable to see that this destruction
and loss weighs heavily on all the
pepole. When property is destroyed.
commercial interests have to charge
more for their goods, and everybody
loses. One of those countries is
ruled by a fierce military clique.
which seems to think it can produce
human welfare by killing and de-
stroying.

WILL ROGERS MEMORIAL

President Roosevelt vetoed a bill
that would appropriate s5OO.0OO to-
ward the cost of memorial to Will
Rogers. The President thought the
type of memorial should be specified
in such legislation, and that the fa-
nous humOrist would have desired
some form of memorial that would
bring happiness to mankind.
A beautiful monument in Mr..
Rogers honor would do much to
keep his memory alive. Yet only a
small part of the people would ever
see it. Some kind of educational
institution might be a still finer use
for this money. If worthy boys and
girls were constantly given start
ill life through the fund given to
honor this friend of mankind, his
memory would forever be kept alive.

SCHOOL DRIVING COURSES

1t is predicted that instruction in
automobile driving will be offered
in 1000 high schools next year. If
such instruction will do anything
to produce careful and courteous
driving, it will be worth all it costs.
Some will say that the arrogance
ard recklessness of some people on
the road is such that no amount of
instruction will help their methods,
and that nothing but a severe pen
atty. or the loss of their license. will
correct them. 1t may be that the
reckless drivers are largely people
who never had any good instruction
in the use of car, and that if some
person whose skill they respect
shows them the folly of bad driving,
they may form a habit of better be-
havior.

THE SCHOOL BELL RINGS

The day when the school bell
rings for the first time in the new
school year is a great event in the
kid world. 1t is an invitation to en-
ter wide doors of opportunity. 1t
provides better chances for each
young person. than were given to
some of the most famous people the
world ever produced.
Abraham Lincoln, studying his
Bible and the life of George Wash
ington before the log cabin fire when
a boy, would have felt supremely
happy if he could have had as much
education as is now given the hum
blest child in Delaware. Any child
who possesses a normal intelligence,
who is willing to work, can use the
opportunities the schools give him
to win success in work, business,
politics, or any field in which he
has ability.
The child can not be expected to
realize the burdens of life he will
have to carry later. He would rather
play than work. He would hardly
be normal kid if be didn't. Ask
ing him to buckle down and tackle
that brain teaser in arithmetic, is
about like harnessing up a young
colt just out of pasture, and asking
him to pull some heavy load into
town.
The problem of school life is to
take that playful little creature, make
him realize the value of the knowl-
edge the school offers, and induce
him to give up his beloved football
or other things, and devote his first
energies to his books.
To induce children to do that re-
quires kind of genius. One must
feel admiration for the teacher who
can take that kinky young thing, as
full of play as a kitten, and make
him settle down. to work like an old
truck horse, suppressing the frolic-
some instincts that tell him to kick
ip his heels and forget dull care.
rhe youngster has TO learn the les
ION. If he can't do it, he will pay |
!. heavy price later. and most of the
'oung folks are bright enough to
ealize it.

CATTLE SHOW SCENES

The old folks say the crowds thai
used to gather at the county fairs
and cattle shows, had a rustic look
ing appearance. Many of the men
then wore hair and whiskers that
had seen no BARRIERS shears for
many weeks, while female costumes
looked as IL they came out of grand
mas attic.
Today it is very difficult as far
as personal appearance is concerned,
to tell the country crowd at the cat
tie show from city crowd that
gathers for a ball game, except that
the country crowd look healthier.
Also its people all look as if they
worked for a living. which is not
always the case in city gathering.
The country folks OF today are
within easy reach of stores where
they get the latest styles as soon
as the big cities have them. The
apple checked country girls don't
have to depend so much on artificial
color to make themselves blossom
like the rose.
At the county fair you can expect
to see the politicians and possible |
aspirants for Office doing the mixing |
act. They discover what whispers
the grass roots are uttering. 1t
has sometimes proved in past his
tory that the men who shook the
most hands were not the ones who
could get the taxes reduced.
The county fair side shows give
he rural youth a chance to shine
n the eyes of his girl friend. If he
AN hit the African dodger ON his
Dack dome, and almost break the
trength tester, he wins the admira-
ion that the fair sex always give TO
manly vigor.
Meanwhile the thoughtful and stu
iOus country people are quietly ask
ng how the blue ribbon winners |
ed their cattle, and what fertilizers /
he agricultural professors say
hould be used to make their fields
ruitful. The county fair is both a
icture of human life, and a school
here the inquiring mind can earn
luch.

ASKING FOR 1T

Some restaurants used to display
prominently a notice which said,
"If you don't see what you want, ask
for it," Thereby they showed un-
derstanding of profound truth. 1t
is so in most relations of life. that
if you don't get what you want. you
have to ask for that thing, or you
won't get it.
Many business concerns don't
quite realize that truth. They don't
usually have the trade they want,
and that being so. the thing to do is
to ask for it by advertising. In that
way they will get more trade. Other
wise it will come very slow.
