Use Alsike Instead of Red Clover. Becaase of the shortage of red clover Be»*d farmers are advised by the United States Department of Agriculture to substitute alsike for red clover in their spring seed ing operations. On the basis of present market prices 2 acres can be seeded with hlsike for what it would cost to seed 1 acre to red clover. Farmers who purchase clover seed should require the seedsmen to sell these seed under label, presenting the germination, purity, date of germination test, and, in some instances, the point of origin of the seed. A special agreement between the Secretary of Agriculture and the domestic seed trade provides that seedsmen distribute their seeds under label Farmers should see that mer chants live up to this agreement. The shortage of red clover seed, the department explains, results from moro clover bay being made last year, decreased imports of seed, the unfavorable season last year, and the breaking of clover sods for wheat.

Fonvllls. New York, Feb. ...—So unusual Hi the service rendered by Deßoy R. Fon vllle of Burlington, N. C., In his T. M. C. A. work overseas that Major Gen eral h. 8. Upton has written him a personal letter In appreciation of his efforts. Mr. Fonvllle has returned to his home after ten months service with the Y. M. C. A. He was with the Fifth and Sixth Marine* and Ninth Twen ty-third Infantry at Chateau Thierry, Solssons and St. Mlhlel. It was while he was in a trench waiting to serve the Marines when they "pushed off,"' that a high explosive shell blew par tides of rock Into hla eye, blinding It. .The same shellflre killed James A. Blrchby, a Y. M. C. A. secretary from l*asadena, Cal., and wounded another Red Triangle worker, Thomas W. Wll but, Jr., of New .Britain, Conn. The letter of appreciation that was sent to Mr. Fonvllle by General Upton read as follows: "I have observed yi>ur work as Y. M. C. A representative of the Ninth Infantry for some time and wish to convey to you my appreciation of the uncomplaining and soldierlike manner In which you have undergone all without the glory that Is attached to the profession of arms. The work which you have done had added great ly to the contentment of the men and thus to the efflolency of the com mand." "My experience gave me an apprec iation of American men and what they can go through," said Mr. Fonvllle. "Our division was a shock unit. It never went any way but forward. Our division alone captured 12,000 prison ers. Those men appreciated the Y. ; M. C. A. and understood the difficul ties It had to contend with in getting supplies up to the front. I have no complaint to make about losing the sight of one oyc, that Is war, but it bewilders me to have known what 1 .'do of the work of the Y' In France 'and then com" home to learn of the 'criticisms being circulated here. I believe that In due lime the full ap prestation of the Y. M. C. A.'s work .for victory will be goßeral." - Democracy in Schooling. University News Letter. If wo are to accept the ifltea that the bulwark of democracy is to be found iti universal education and that the essential tool of universal education is the public school, we must naturally look to the publlo school to be itself a democracy. Have we slopped to consider what such a theory implies? It means, first, that an equal , chance to go to school must be given to all children. It means, second, that the terms of school in city and country must be equal. It means, third, that all schools must be equally well equipped with adequate teaching apparatus —not forgetting that the teacher is a very essential part of such equipment. It means, fourth, that an eqnal chance must be given all children to have their health cared for and their bodies built up. It means, fifth, th.it no pupil shall be deprived of his chauce to grasp these opportunities because some indifferent or ignorant parent coinmaudeers such pupils' t'me or to work directly for the parent, or to work for a manu facturing plant and turn the re sults of such labor over to the parent. Are we ready to guarantee such a democracy in education to the children in our nation? Are we willing to provide these equalities in educational opportunity ? Are we prepared to open our pooket- Itooks and pay the taxes which such a program will and does de mand? Has the war'for democ racy so got into our very life that we can see such a policy in the light of an investment for our children and for our Stale and nalion ? The folks in our cities long ago began to see the light but the country districts aro still content to sit in darkness. Yet the city tolks have only caught a partial glimpse of the great blazing light of learning. The crowded school room witb 40 or more pupils to a teacher is not confined to the one teacher country school. The nar row and lixed course of study and rigid systems of promotion are found in city as well as in rural systems of education. The same can be said as to insufficient and inefficient supervision, inadequate and dilapidated teaching equip ment, neglect of the necessity for regular attendance, failure to care for pupil health, etc., etc. Are we ready to provide and pay for schools adequate to a de mocracy ? Bolshevist forces in north Rus sia are using Oerman made poison gas and flame projectors. The body of German autocracy may be moldering in the ground, but its soul goes marching on. America has no formal wailing places, but tho United States I Senate serves in emergencies. I BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS *■ In Justice toTbeTr. M. C. A. ■ New York Tribune Editorial. There is danger that a very grave injustice will be done the M. C+A. Our fighters seem to be In a grouch with it. The most human quality of youth Is gossip. "If they didn't kick, they wouldn't fight," said an officer iu Prance last summer when he reminded a "Y" secretary that his doughboys were kicking about their mail, their food, their quarters, and their pay. Before the armistice was signed we used to hear that the Y. M. C. A. was open to criticism behind the lines, but that at the front the services rendered under Are were beyond praise. One commanding officer insisted that the "Y" sec retary attached to his battalion march with the men throngh Paris on the Fourth of July. Secretaries were mentioned in citations and were elected honorary members of ouflts. You can't very well criticise a man when he crawls out to your machine gun nest through a bar rage to bring you your smokes and cookies and chocolates and letters from home. And the records show that secretaries did things like that. Many wore wounded, some were killed. The secretary in bis hut back in the training area bad a harder time and less opportunity to win popularity. He was a country storekeeper, a janitor, a theatri cal booking agent, a promoter of athletics and a librarian rolled iiito one. Formerly the criticism one heard of tho V. M. 0. A. took these diffi culties and differences into ao count and was at least discrimi nating', but now it is becoming fashionable to say unpleasant things about the organization, and much of its really fine work is dis regarded. When you remember that each military'unit formed its opinion of the whole Y. 11. 0. A. organi sation from one Y. M. C. A. secre tary you can realize how much energy, tact and resourcofuluesS each of many hundreds of secre taries should have had. Unfor tunately many of them didn't measure up. That was inevit able. Perhaps the greatest fault of the Y. M. 0. A. was that it assum ed too many burdens. It was asked by the army to run the can teens, and it did. It was asked to organise entertainments, ath letics and educational work, and it did. It was asked to send money home for the soldiers, and it did. The army called for more uew secretaries, and still more. Tho Y. M. C. A. got them and sent them over, believing that, even though all of them weren't ideal, it was better to send them than to let the landing troops be without their huts. And the troops were landing by the hundreds of thous ands. The army wanted one sec retary for each unit of five hun dred men. But with the number of men in tho army and the ber engaged in jobs which they couldn't leave at home, that gtfal was never reached. Ask the men who were without "Y" service part of the time. They will tell you what It meant. They are the ones who realize best what our army's life would have been with out this organization. The Y. M. C. A- assumed the prosaic, useful jobs. There was little pictures quoness in its work. There iyere weeks and months of grueling labor—iu warehouses, for in stance. To dismiss with a thoughtless, uninformed word the efforts of an organization which has oarnestiy tried to do its best is not fair play. One hears the work of the Y. M, C. A. contrasted unfavorably with that of the Ked Cross. There is a sentimental reason, perhaps, for that. The basic appeal of the Ked Cross is that it helps the helpless. The Y. M. C. A. dealt with whole men. That was the understood division of work between the two organizations. Soldiers who say they didn't see a Y. M. C. A. man or womau from the time they wore wounded until they reached home do not realize the reason. And they don't realize how much they hurt the Y. M. C. A. when they inake criticism which seems to in dicate a lack of human sympalhy. When a man says the Y. M. C. A. sold dear merchandise he doesn't realize that the canteen system, supplanting the post ex changes run by the military in other wars, was run by the "Y," by request, with funds separate from those raised for the regular 1 work of building aud manning huts, transporting supplies and i furnishing athletics, educational work and entertainment. He doesn't remember, if he ever knew, that supplies were given away under fire. # , * * INCOME TAX PAY® * * FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS. * ~Wr~ ■ • _ # * "Viewed In Its largest anil tru- * * eat sense, the payment of taxes * 4 la payment fur benefits received * * or expected.
