Interesting Facts Concerning Grass.
Grass is a simple subject, be
cause everybody knows about grafcs,
and yet it is an interes'ing and im
portant subject All the farmers
are familiar with grass. It is one
of the common enemies of the far
mer. He fights it from early spring
to late fall, and, as I have heard a
friend of mine say several times,
then often goes out and buys it for
hay during the winter.
Grsss under some conditions is a
pest, and under others is a crop.
Let us consider it as a crop. Grass
is all important for all kinds of live
stock. Even the chickens require
grass. All kinds of live stock re
quire it. Since feed for work stock
aid live stock is the greatest item
of expense on the farm, outside of;
labor, and since grass in some form \
is one of the most important fac- j
tors in feed for live stock, the logic j
of the whole thing is that grass is j
important, and the subject one for |
profitable thought and discussion, i
1 would like to have letters from all
the farmers who care to write them
telling me what they think and
know about grasses for the farm,
for pasture and hay. and their ex
p riences. Tell me the best grass
fur pasturage in your community
and why. Let's get in touch with
each other on th;s subject of grass, i
Everybody can say something about
grass, so speak up. 1 want to hear i
from you.
1 am going to call your attention
to some new grasses. The Sudan I
is a good grass. It comes from Su-I
dan and belongs io the sorghum j
family. It is similar to Johnson
g ass but superior and stock like t
bitter. It is an annual, stands dry
weather well, can be cut three or
four times and yiulds from three to
six tons per acre. Cattle are very
fond of it. Can be planted any
time from March to July. Can be
planted in drill or broadcast, ten
pounds seed to the acre. Sudan
will grow well mixed with cow peas
or soy beans.
The Rhodes is another new grass
from Africa, that gives fine results
where tried. It is a perehnial. has !
fine seed like blue grass, is a fine |
hay and good pasture grass, and j
will yield from four to six tons to j
the acre during a season. It re- j
quires a warm climate and will net
do well in the north part of the!
state. Try these along with other!
grasses. Crass makes one of our I
best and most profitable crops, and |
is easily grown.

Two-Whee: Automobile May Be Next Novell'..
The first two-wheel gyroscope
motortruck has appeared on the.
streets of London. It caused g 'eatj
excitement. Crowds of amazed
spectators gathered around it.
Those who knew nothing of the
marvelous powers of the gyroscope
could hardly believe their own eyes.
Here was a heavy truck, loaded
with three tons of freight, balancing
itself perfectly. Yet it had only
two wheels, one ahead of the other
like a bicycle.
The car stopped, started, backed,
turned sharp corners,- stood still,
delivered a part of its load and took
on more, all without disturbing its
balance. No care was taken, to
distribute the load evenly If extra
heavy weight were placed on one
side the car just leaned a little the
other way, like a man who carry- )
ing a heavy weight in one hand
throws the weight of his body on!
I
the other side to balance the load.
Those who had seen a gyroscope
work were not surprised when the
truck see ned to show almost hu
man intelligence.
The cost of this car was about
$12,000, because patterns and
castings had to be made especially
for it; but with a large demand the
cost could be greatly reduced.
The principle of the gyroscope
is very complex and difficult to ex
plain in a few words. It is related
to the turning of the earth on its
axis. Something like it is suggest
ed by the experience which almost
every boy has had with tops; in
fact, the gyroscope may be de
scribed as a gigantic power top,
with an axis free to turn in any di
rection. When a spinning top is
made to lean so that its axis is not
vertical it will, if spinning very fast,
gradually right itself and come
back to a perpendicular position.
In a manner somewhat resembling
this the gyroscope on the bicycle
motor truck keeps the truck stand
ing upright, although the center of
gravity may not be above the base
of support.
To one who sees this for the first
time it seems like a miracle. By
all ordinary rules of physics the
truck should fall, just as a bicycle
will fall when it comes to rest and
is supported by its two wheels only.
But instead of falling the gyroscope
truck stands upright and adjusts
itself to any shifting of the load.
Who Is Johnson's Beneficiary?
The deputy of a certain frater
nal insurance society recently ob
tained the application of Mr. Wm.
Johnson and gladly escorted that
sensible individual before the ex
cuTikrmf physician. In the process
of filling out the paper, Mr. Johnson
was asked to name his nearest rel
atives. that they might be designa
ted as beneficiaries, he explained
as fol’ows:
"1 met a widow and married her.
She had a stepdaughter. My fath
er. a widower, visited us and mar
ried the stepdaughter. My wife
became the mother-in-law of her
father-in-law. and my stepdaughter
my stepmother. My father is my
stepson. After a while my step
mother, the stepdaughter of my
wife, had a son. This boy is my
brother, being my father’s son. but
he is also the son of my wife's step
daughter, and so her grandson.
Therefore. T am my brother's grand
father. Then my wife had a
daughter. My mor.her-in-law is
her stepsister and also her grand
mother. because she is her step
son’s child. My father is the
brother of my daughter, who is also
the daughter of my grandmother.
1 am my mother's brother-in-law;
my wife is her own child's aunt;
my daughter is my father’s neice,
and 1 am my own grandfather."
When Mr. Johnson had finished
the above simple and easily under
stood statement on his family re
lations the doctor had collapsed
and the deputy taken to the woods.
The application is waiting for some
one to come along and designate
his beneficiary, so that he can go
ahead and join. H. Perritt.

County Uniformity of lix- Books.
At the annual school election
six years ago the voters of Union
county authorized the selection of
a series of text bcoks to be used in
all the r umbered districts of the
county for a period of six years.
In practice this means that every
school district and every teacher
over the county has us id the same
series of books for the past six
years. , j'
The adoption expiring this year,
j we are called upon at the annua]
school election, Saturday. May 16,
to decide by our vote whether we
wish to have a series of text books 1
adopted for use in all the numbered
districts in the county fc r the next <
six years.
The school book board, otherwise
provided for. may re-adopt all or a
part of the present series.
If we cannot have a state adop
ted series, the next best thing, j.t
seems, is for the county to re- ,'
adopt a uniform series of text
books. The advantage are obvi- ;
ous and too numerous to mention
here and now, but if you wish to be 1
instrumental in helping the schools 1
to save much valuable time and to
keep it so you will not have to buy
a new set of books every time you
| change teachers or districts, be
'sure to go to the polls and vote for
"County Uniformity.’’ (It is an
entirely different question from ;
’County Superintendency.”)
A. D. Murphy,
County Examiner.
Our President.
How well he seems to l^ave man
aged it—this whole sordid business
1 of going to war; how fair he has
been; how patient, how dignified, i
how infinitely ger.‘ ar.iJinJ. No!
bluster, no threats, no shicker of
anticipation; no licking the na- ;
tion's chops just a simpfe-souled, j
brave, soft-hearted, hard-headed
man. It is sad enough to go «into
war of any kind at any time; but it
is less sad to go knowing that every
honorable means has been taken to
keep away from war. And this
consolation President Wilson has
given us by his wise, forebearing.
Christian attitude before the pro
1 vocation of a foe mad and desper
ate and foolish.
The good God, who knows all
and watches over all. and sees, all,
and directs all, was in our hearts1
i deeper than we knew when as a.
nation we chose this grrat. serene
soul to lead us. William Allen
White.

Not fit for Ladies.
Public sentiment should be
: against it and we believe it is:
there can be no reason why ladies
should suffer with headaches and
neuralgia, especially when Hunt’s;
Lightning Oil gives such prompt
relief. It is simplv a question of
getting the ladies to try it. All
druggists sell Hunt's Lightning Oil
in 25c and 50c bottles A. B
