Irate Woman Probably Had Time for Regret* The buz terminal had been reorganized alites tea. Women’* last trip, but •he eventually located her bun, and, having three minutes to spare, paced op and down beside it. From the waiting room emerged a couple engaged in wordy combat, the husband, as usual, losing in the battle. On and on raged the wife, her spouse meekly following with his anus roll of bundles. As she got on the bus, be handed the bundles to her and prepared to turn away. “Don't you dare be late for supper!" shrieked his spouse. The unfortunate male, his downcast gaze roving humbly over the bus, started suddenly. ••Lily—” he begati. “Don't you 'Lily' me!” shrieked the woman, starting off again. "You —” “Llsaen a minute!" begged the husband. "Lissen to you! Every time 1 Ilasen—” She finished an irate monologue and disappeared into the bus. "IJssen," the little man called after her. I>ut she was - already.seated inslde.« As the little man made toward the bus it jerked suddenly and drove off, leaving him standing, mouth open. The Woman met bls eyes with an ! involuntary' smile. A slow grin spread i over his face. “Don't that beut all?" he asked the! Woman, shrugging his thin shoulders. J “I only Wanted to tell her she's on the Wrong bus'", lie chuckled; “I hope she finds out soon. The first ’stop for that one is Philadelphia. And we live In Long Island'."—-New York Sun. “Pure” English Defined as of Elizabethan Era The oft quoted saying that the pur- I Mt Engllah is spoken In. Dublin, par-, ttcularly at Trinity college, is of unknown origin, says the Pathfinder Magazine. Inverness, Scotland and Belfast, Ireland, are often linked with | Dublin as places where exceptpmidly pure and correct. English is s|'<'k>i> by thennhabitants. The Mying probably means little more than that the common speech In these places con- | tains an unusually large number of Elizabethan words now regarded as "archaic" or “classical" in England and the Unite) States. Speech in •mall countries or isolated commuul- I ties seldom changes, us rapidly as it | does in the more populous centers. ' Both Dublin and Belfast were settled by colonists from England and the speech of their descendants did Hot 1 undergo the same development that j the language of the parent country ■ did. The English language of the periods of Elizalwthjaiid King James w'.i*. as it were, kept in cold storage* in Ireland and many words and phrase# were retained in ' every duly speech which became obsolete in England. Thus it happens that the language of Belfast and Dublin more pearly approaches the language In use during England's golden era of literature. Long Walsh Name D(M« )t not heeni' curious that •by! place should be namwl "Llan.fairpuU-’j gwyngy llgogerchwy rundrobwllaniysillogogogiH'h, but to a Welshman this is one of the lOCft poetical names on h > map.

Tlje- protective function safeguards citizens and their legitimate Interests In all privileges and rights provided by treaty or conceded by usage. The advisory func- . lions of the foreign service are de- ( signed primarily for the benefit of the ■ government of’ the United States, which constantly requires information from all parts of the world for Its guidance in the conduct of Its foreign relations. The third main division of ’ the duties laid upon the foreign service la the administration abroad of American laws. — —4- j_ ■ la Use Mrs. -— started to get ready to go to church.

WEED CHATS •* ? -—. 4 If yqu have beejn troubled with dandelion, chickweed and plantain in the lawn, plan to make an application of a high nitrogen fertilizer as soon as the grass begins to grow. A fertilizer with a 12-6-4 analysis or Ammonium Sulphate and a 2-12-6 j formula mixed in equal parts has I been found to be Satisfactory. The j application should be made at the , rite of ten pouhds per thousand square feet of laWn. It has been fouhd that dandelions and plantain are inhabitants of sweet soils and do not thrive when an acid condition exists. The application of Ammonium Sulphsite will, in addition to supply nitrogen for plant growth, acidify the soil and thereby- create conditions undesirable for weed growth. Lime is very seldom needed On Indiana lawns, because blue grass and bentgrass will go well on soils that are acid when penty of plant food is available ] Lime merely encourages weed grlowth. Bare spots in the lawn should be reseeded at the earliest possible dale]to avoid direct competition of the young grass plants with weeds commonly found in the spring. For open lawns Use two-thirds blue grass and one-third red top. For shaded areas, use equal paitis of rough-stalk meadow grass (roa trivialis) red top and blue Rough-stalked meadow grass pill thrive in the shade where blue grass is not satisfactory. Every year new weeds are brought into the state. In most cases, impure seed is responsible for their introduction, When going about your Work on the farm, be on the lookout for new weeds. If you do not know; what they are, or hoar to control them, merely mail a specimen to the Botany Department. Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Ind., for, identification. jWhen ; collecting specinhgns for identifies- ] lion include roots,, leaves and stems, land if possible ] the flower. Wrap 1 them securely, ahd be sure to enclose 1 your-name andj address. They will be identified free of charge and possible control measures will be given, i I. . ; . . ’ . • . ■ . . . Weeds are most easily killed while they are small. Thousands at weeds can be killed in early spring with less work than will be needed to kill a few lots in the summer. Careful preparation of :he seed bed by thorj ough disking and harrowing w ill reduce the number Vs cultivations as ( ter the crop is planted. Fields that,were' badly infested with winter - cress, yellow peril and | yellow* rocket last .year should re- . cejve a thorough cultivation this spring. Such plants are winter annuals and start their growth i.in the fall. The tough roots of these plants can only be filled by plowing or i disking.. Merely harrowing does not : kill them. j Guard against mysterious livestock losses that are caused by poisonous plants. Among the common poisonous I plants, that take ’their toll of animals jin the spring are cocklebur sprouts, water hemlock, Dutchman’s britches, larkspur arid wild cherry. ■ < . When cultivating' and preparing the seed bed. care should be taken so as not to drag roots of Canada 'thistle and quack grass and scatter these weeds oyer the field. Isolate ' patches of perennial, weeds and prepare them for spraying. Experimental work in Indiana shows that patch- • es of Canada thistle and quack grass that were not disturbed by ' cultivation in the spring are more ’ readily killed with Sodium Chlorate. Allow the pants to grow undisturbed until the buds start and then spray.

Peach trees were in blobm the first of the week, and Stephen Freeman went out his orchard early Wednesday morning to see if any dam-1 age was done, but says it will take ai day or two before the blossoms drop] off, if they were frost bitten to that j ! extent. ?l I The report from Redmon’s orchard is that these trees were not far enough in bud for the frost to damage them. Ice was formed on ponds and watering troughs that night. o TRY’ A JOURNAL WANT AD ]

Why Advertising In The Journal Pays The paid circulation of the Journal increased 5.3 per cent in 1931, over 1930. I ; * Which proves, that it is of interest to its readers, the majority of whom reside in Syracuse’s trading area. The Journal offers its advertisers a handpicked clientele —people who spend money, people who read the Journal.

] “Apology** Appealed to Golf Directors' Humor ! At a golf club on the North Shore i two professionals are employed, one to look after the course and one to teach. The latter is a veteran Scot of independent character and fearless tongue. Some time back, a writer in the Boston Globe recalls, he said something to a new member of the board of directors which seemed to that individ- ! ual to be disrespectful. He complained at a meeting of the board and wieceed- ! ed in having old Willie discharged. Afterward the other directors felt sorry. Finally the head professional was told to Inform him that if Im I would appear before a meeting of the ■ directors and make an explanation his I job would be restored to him. When, in due course, Willie api peared, the president addressed him benevolently. “Well, Wniie,” he said, “tell u« what you have to say for yourself; but make it short, for we’re in a hurry.’’ ~ “Oh.J’lf It short,” said Willie in a loud, voice. "What I've got to say is, That you can all go to b —l For a moment the directors sat in stunned silence. 'Then, including the one who had made the complaint, they broke Into choking laughter. The president was first'to regain his composure. “All right. Witlie," he said, “we accept your apology. You can return to work tomorrow.” Upholsterer Word That Has Changed in Meaning We all umlersrand the "Upholsterer" to refer to the person who prepare# covers for furniture and who Is also an expert at stuffing it. But this meaning is >u long leap from its early signifkancre. to which, however, it bears a figurative realtionship." t'riJinally, the “holster” was a hidI ing place, or a covering, as in the holster used for a pistol, for instance. And it was from this connection that the words “holster" and “holstering’* i gradually came to be employed to describe the process of measuring furi nit tire for covers, preparing the cov--1 ers, stuffing the furniture and there- ! fore hidSijg it so to speak, that Is, hldi ing its real seif. Add to this the fact that the man who stuffed and covered the furniture frequently held it "up" for sale, and ■: we have a logical evolution of the mod-. ; ern word “upholsterer" in the sense in ; Which it is used today.—Kansas City Times. Sauce for the Gander There was tired business man, a member of that busy elan that shields itself from prying eye behind that good old alibi In conference. He rested in his office chair and ducked a lot of toil and care, and smoked’ cigars in sweet content aud thus his busy hours were spent In conference. Came anxious strangers by the score to camp outside his office door, and ' angrily they went their way for he was busy all the day In conference. And so he died and at the gate an angel bade him stand and wait, and ! said to him with frowning brow, “St. Peter’s mighty busy now In conference.” —Birmingham Age-Herald. TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD

COMMENTS ON THE LIVE STOCK SITUATION By H. M. Conway. Prices of fat steers are apparently making their spring low’, with a strong undertone prevailing all through the market. Some further narrowing of the price spread is expected, cording largely through the continued scarcity of butcher cattle and a stronger demand for stackers and feeders. The August market looks best for top steers and May for the lower grades. The situation suggests some action in feeding for the late fall. Packers continue bearish, and while there is some tendency to move fall pigs early, supplies are expected to continue short through April with j recent price declines recovered. Pro- ' spective marketings for the next six i months show only a moderate increase with the greatest scarcity in | the late summer, thus making summer feeding quite attractive. Lambs continue relatively scarce and the market is in a strong position for the next six to eight weeks, however, the consumer outlet is somewhkt limited and packers and retailers are fighting to hold present margins. The distribution of the lamb crop this year will make for .elatively large supplies in the early rammer and relatively short supplies in the late fall. Despite the general overproduction and low level of prices, the sheep producer has been rather fortunate in that there has been a gradual upw’ard trend in the consumer demand for lamb. In fact the sheep industry with its over-produc-tion is faring approximately as well it the cattle industry, which is at the bottom of a marketing cycle. In other words, there is now no occasion to shift from sheep to cattle as has been done many times in the jiiast, particularly from 1911 to 1914, the previous period of extreme over-production. ■ _— o . o- !

ALFALFA ACERAGE INCREASED AT RATE OF !•,••• ANNUALLY Farmers of Indiana have increased their alfalfa acerage at the rates of 10,000 acres annually during the; past ten years which is a fitting test- > imonial of the Ikigh yielding ability' and high feeding value of this excellent soil improvement legume. On the basis of yield, alfalfa produces almost as much hay on one acre as red clover does on two acres. As an; average for the state alfalfa produced two tons of hay and red clover .95 tons per acre in 1930. This was the year of the drouth when alfalfa showed to the best advantage. Daily inquiries and recent requests for information on growing alfalfa, made to the Agronomy Department of Purdue University indicate that many Indiana farmers intend to seed alfalfa this spring. Seeding in the spring with a nurse crop of oats or barley at half the normal rate for grain is preferred by most alfalfa growers. Sowing on wheat is satisfactory when the land is in good condition to raise alfalfa, i Alfalfa is more particular in its ] soil requirements than the ordinary. clovers. The land should be well! drained, to provide for its deep root i system. The soil should usually be I tested for acidity before seeding as alfalfa requires a sweeter soil than j clovers, excepting sweet clover. Limestone should be applied in ad-1 vance of seeding as indicated by the | acidity test, usually at the rate of g ■ to 4 tons per acre. Alfalfa is not a poor land legume. To secure good yields requires a naturally fertile soil or one that has been made productive through the

LIGONIER ICE CO. DAILY SERVICE - Syracuse Phone 103 MAT ERNES I Stands for A Square Deal (Copied from the Lafontaine (Wabash Co.) Herald, April 21, 1932) JACOB W. MATERNES has been a and has always fought reactionary politics. He owes no allegiance to any corporate or special interests. He stands for a “four-square deal” for'the interest of the farmer and laboring men of the district and nation. He is amply qualified for the honorable position to which he aspires and the Republicans of this section are for him tooth and toenail. Mr. Maternes is a man of enviable reputation, and has the ability to do justice to all classes, if nominated and elected. His pledge to the people follows: I am in favor of the abolishment of the Public Service Commission of Indiana, or a drastic curtailment of its powers, and a restoration of home rule in the control i of public utilities. I am in favor of the enactment of more stringent banking laws for the safety and protection of bank deposits. 1 am in favor of the abolishment of all unnecessary Boards and Commissions. , > ! . I am in favor of the repeal of the Three-Mile Road Law. > I am in favor of an increased tax on buses and trucks. . ’ i '■ I am in favor of all legislation tending to the more economical conduct of government, and a drastic reduction of the tax burden. Mr. Maternes is a Republican candidate for Joint Senator for Wabash and Kosciusko counties, and is a resident of Kosciusko County. I “I will support any sound measure for the relief of American agriculture which has the support of the agriculture leaders selves. I believe the Republican principle of protection should be\ extended in any form necessary to protect the American farmer. “The whole nation will suffer with the farmer if his problem is \ hot promptly solved. The farmer himself should have a voice in determining his own affairs. He is entitled to a protected American market to sell in as well as to buy in. The farmer needs more men in Congress of sincere purposes with a real interest in sound solution of his problem and fewer who are only interested in playing with the farmer vote,” he said. In his campaign Jacob W. Maternes has denounced machine control of the party organization fbr “the personal advancement of an individual instead of the whole Republican party,” and has declared that if he is elected as Joint Senator for Wabash and Kosciusko counties he will see to it that the people are given “a new deal and a square deal." . . . ; ■ ■ 1 . ' '-I This is the first time Mr. Maternes has ever asked the people of Wabash and Kosciusko counties for a public office, and at this time the voters can make no mistake from a standpoint of economy and efficiency in nominating him to this office. His nomination means an election, and we are pleased to present to our readers the name of Maternes for the nomination and election to the office of JOINT SENATOR.

use of manure or the applications of fertilizers. This crop feeds heavily on the mineral plant foods and the fertilizer used should ,be high in phosphate and in most cases carry | from one half to as much potash as ; phosphate. 1 Where the seeding is to be left for as long as the alfalfa remains productive hardy seed is preferred. Certified Grimhi or northwestern grown common are recommended. Since common alfalfa seed is cheaper it ] may be used satisfactorily where the crop is left for one or two years only. Alfalfa should always be inoculated unless sweet clover or alfalfa have been grown previously. Thorough seted bed preparation is essential .The seed should not be covered more than one inch deep. The rate of seeding should be 10 to 12 pounds per acre broadcast or 8 pounds, if seeded with a grain or clover seed drill. “Alfalfa for Indiana Farms” is the title of a leaflet giving details of growing this crop which may be secured fey writing to the Purdue, Agricultural Experiment.
