HAVE YOU BEEN SICK? *Tl»en you realise the utter weakness * that robs ambition, destroys appetite, I and makes work a burden. \ To restore that strengtjtand stamina that t Is so essential, nothing has ever equaled a or compared with Scott's Bmnlirion. because its strength - sustaining nourishment invigorates the blood to distribute i ena gy Uiiongtiou't the body while its tonic _■ ' value sharpens the appetite and restores health in a natural, permanent way. II yon are run down, tired, nervous, 1 overworked or lack. strength, get Scott's | Hmulsirm to-day. It is free from alcohol. 8cott & Bowne. BIoomSeAd. N.J. ' — — 1 NATIONAL AFFAIRS. It has been interesting to note news- , i paper comment on Huerta'e death. No v matter how most editors may have rt- . garded tho old 'Indian, none of them .. forgot to recall that he did not. salute the flag at Wood row Wilson's command t and that the blood of our soldiers and J Bailors waa ahed in vain during the c puerile expedition to Vera Cruz. t "If the President wants to explain < ftU MffWn policy let him come down 1 into Terse," said a Congressman from 1 that state. "The folks down there will c give him plenty of opportunity, but he f . will hare to do a mighty lot of it. e With the situation on our border line as I it has been for the past two years, it is t • impossible to reconcile our citizens to. < the do-nothing policy that has prevailed. ' • Tbay cannot understand it and they are I ■ disgusted- at the apparent indifference of ' the Federal administration." 1 President Wilson's preparedness plan would practically destroy the National Gnard. National Guard organizations < are oontroHed fry the states and the of- 1 fleers of the • National Guard are ap- ' • pointed by the several governors. The President's plan for a continental army woifld make 'All v>fficers subject to appointmei t "by *-the President, and the whole army- subject to his" control at all times. The fathers of our country, who had learned a few -lessons from experience with a king; particularly provided j that the President should have control < • of the militia only "when called into actual -service- of the United States." Congress -Was "vested with power to provide for "calling forth the militia." j f After all this studied effort to prevent j a president securing control of the mil- j t Itia in time of peaco, i( is not likejy . that a plan of concentration of military J I power aonorived by an oyer-nlght con-- 1 verb to preparedness will be adopted by a Congress that takes tame, to think before it acts. . A real army is needed and inducements ■ for enlistment' should be made as numerous as possible. {

SUDAN GRASS AS A FORAGE CROP. Sudan grass was introducid into this country from Khartum, Sudan, in 1909, by the United States Department cf Agriculture^and is closely related to the sorghums. When seeded broadcast for forage the plant grows from 3 to 5 feet high with stems about a., thick as a lead pencil . This crop U a warm weather annual, and can It.- seeded at tin- rule of 20 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre soon after corn planting time. The preparation of the seed l-ed and fertilization are npieii the same as for millet, \\~here tl-.e season is 'long enough, the yrop will ' furnish two or three cuttings. In New of 60 to HO days is required for maturing the first cutting, and 40 to 00 days for the succeeding cuttings. In New Jersey, from New Brunswick north, but one good cutting may be secured under favorable seasonal and soil conditions. Last year, the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station conducted experiment in u-hidh Sudan grass was compared with Japanese Millet, From one catting a yield per acre of 105 tons of green forage was obtained from Sundan grass and 8.7 tons of Japanese Millet. A second growth of about 4 tons per - acre green weight was made but not cut. The forage is cogfse, much like millet When the price of seed is not too high, Sudan grass may be used in place of the millets for a warm weather far•ge crop. j

ANYBODY CAN ASK QUESTIONS. , Here are some gems' of schoolboy an- ; to examination papers collected by I Correspondence in England: C , "John Wesley was a great sea cap- 7 : tain. He beat the Dutch at Waterloo, / and by degrees rose to be the Duke of ; Wellington. He was buried near Nelson G the poets' corner - «t Westminster fa Abbey." fa Asked to name six animals peculiar to fa 1 the Arctic region, a bov replied: "Three L bears and three seals." ? "Mushrooms always grow in damp / - places, and so they look like umbrellas." 5 J "The difference between water and air v , is that the air can be made wetter, but 1 i water cannot." - l FREE SEEDS. 2 The annual distribution of seeds by 7 1 Government will take placp this ✓ I spring as usual. This distribution is "J i controlled by the United States Sena- a and members of Congress. If you 1 i will write to Hon. James E. Martine or fa i William Hughes, D. S. Senate, . i Washington, D. C, or to your member I o^ Congress, you can receive free of < j charge & package of vegetable or flower seed. Each package contains five dif- « i varieties. State whether you dei 6ire vegetable or flower, but do pot ini dicate the varieties as the Department . of Agriculture makes the selection ■ upon the climatic and other con- ■ ditions of the locality in which the seeds are to be planted. i — — [ Rubber stamp pads, rubber stamp ink * and numbering machine ink at Star and Wave Stationery Department.
