The virtues ol alfalfa have long
beeb trumpeted by the federal depart
ment of agriculture, but now the medi
cal profession bas taken to boosting
this particular brand of fodder. At
? national convention In Chicago, Dr.
Alexander Hluckwood of that city an
nounced- that alfalfa is just as good
for human beings as lt is for cattle.
In fact, he declares it is not only a
nutrltous food product, but as val
uable medicinal properties.
He experimented with seventeen
students at the Hahnemann Medical
College, feeding them a compound
preparation labeled "Med I cago Sativa"
-which is merely the Latin name for
Alfalfa- -und they not only disgested
the stuff and throve on lt, but had
their appetites for other provender so
itimuiated that thoy were impelled to
?at five or six meals a day.
Alfalfa may come in time to form
in integral part of every family meal
ind restaurant menu, and there may
ie an alfalfa bed in every garden. Hut
?cononfically, the discovery doesn't
teem to be an unqualified blessing.
Sven if it cures indigestion, as Dr.
Blackwood says, we're not going to
tavb much money by u bay diet that
lrives us to eat six square meals a
iky. Why not discover something that
sill make one meal a day suffice?

Edmund M. Allen, warden of the
follet pen ten tia ry, has bene a finn be

lee aa far aa he possibly could. And
he other day his wife was murdered
iy a "trnstly."
It waa a frightful experience for the
varden to go through. Haa he become
?mb! t tor ed? Does he feel responsible
'or his wife's death because it secmeJ

Hla explanation is: "There are two

"I hare done what I could, and

Darlington county can claim a rec
ord for wheat production. If anyone
has any doubt as to whether wheat
can be profitably grown In thu coun
ty, the following facts, reisten to The
News and Press by Boyd Gandy, one
of our most reputable citizens, should
dispel such skepticism: Mr. Gandy,
whose place ls in the Mont Clare sec
tion, planted ten acres to wheat About
June 15 he threshed nine acres, real
tiiog an average yield of 44 bushels
per acre. On June 27 he threshed

Thia does not much help a district
like western Massachusetts, but the
automobile is not the only agent of
hte restored farm. The agricultural
school ls another at least as impor
tant. Better methods make bad farms
good, and acres which the loose ex
tensive farming of past times had ex
hausted are now yieldiny profitably.
The immigration of foreigners
whose living standards are lower than
the natives bsa been a factor, and
perhaps also the fact that free land
In the west is less plentiful and avail
able is another.
The disappearance of the "abandon

change. The lavish days of the past

Tho group Sheppard represents,
which is very small reduced their
cotton crops thlB year because com
mon sense dictated it; the Fra*^t
Johnson class did so because their
bank and fertilizer credit was re
stricted and the poor class of tenants
because lien credit was skimpier.
The general reducton throughout
the South ls about 15 per cent.
Southern fanners, knowing cotton
to be their most profitable crop, will
continue to raise it; but they are
learning that one crop production
means idleness of live stock, labor
and land about half the year, while
overhead charges must be paid on
the whole outfit They are beginning
to understand, too, that while they
cannot compete on a large scale with
the wheat growers of Minnesota,
wheat raised as a by-product is near
ly all profit. Diversified farming calls
for diversified Information, and that
is something ignorant people can't

the South, are diversified,, but re

? CHINESE TYPEWRITER ?
+ INVENTED. ?
* +
A young Chinese student of en
gineering in New York University bas
invented what is said to bo the first
Chinese typewriter. He completed
the model a short time ago, and has
patented it In this country, China and
Japan. The new machine bas only
three keys. One of these is a back
spacer, another the space key, and
the third is the key with which 4,200
characters are struck. It is possible
according to the inventor, to make
50,000 characters by combinations of
"radicals" or base characters. There
are two cylinders, five inches in dia
meter, and about tea Inches long on
one of which is a copper plate con
taining 4,200 minute characters. The
other contains a paper copy of the
same characters, and is used as a
gU,kio to the location ot*egj?ie:charac
ter. On the rim o. this cylinder is a
Hst of 110 "key-words" which indi
cate the location of words or charac
ters whie' start the same sounds as
the key- ords. The. operator turns
the copper cylinder until the desired
character is in front of a key, then he
hits the key and the character is
printed, after which the turning pro
cess ls gone through again. At pres
ent this is done by hand, though the
inventor expects to perfect a mechan
ism to control this. He claims that
after becoming familiar with the loca
tion of the characters and the mech
anism of the typewriter, a person
should be able to write forty words
a minute on the new machine.

Making- the Next War.
(New Republic.)
It bas been said that the business
of evtery peace congress is to arrange
the war of the day after tomorrow.
The epigram deserves indeed to rank
among the great safe commonplaces.
Half our professors of history have
made an honest living by illustrating
this generalizaron tom the records
of the congress of Vienna. The con
gress of Berlin ls a case hardly less
notorious. One may safely say that
it made this particular war by handing
over Bosnia to Austria, as it made the
two Balkan wars by restoring Mace
donia to the Turks.
The epigram, however, ls not quite
r.'.r to congresses. They are com
monly impotent even for mischief.
The sinister arrangements which they
ratify-are commonly made in bar
gains between individual powers out
side them, and before they 'meet.
Roissia, -for example, sold Bosnia to
Austria as the price of her neutrali
ty during the Russo-Turkish war.
When and whero the aged survivors
of the present war will meet in con
gress we do not know, but already
we can catch a glimpse of one of
these characteristic arrangements. It
has been signed and settled for about
a month in nominal secrecy, over thc
heads of all the people concerned,
and if the next congress should rati
fy it, even a cautious prophet may
safe!y predict the ture and cause
of the next European war.
It will be at all an original war.
It will simply be another war for the
completion of south-Stav? unity, and
the only doubtful point about lt is
whether it will be like this, a universal
war, or whether Italy and the new
Serbia will be left to fight it out with
a limited number of allies and sec
onds. The arrangements have been
tn ado chiefly in London and Paris, but
Petrograd, has given a reluctant con
sent. I refer, of course, to the bargain: .
by which Italy has' adhered to the'
triple entente in the understanding'
that she shall .annex toe. entire part
of Dalmatia.
