President Believes It May Be Many
Generations Before Law will
be Victor Over Battle
Washington, Feb. 23. President
Coolidge today addressed the dele
gates to the women s conference on
national defense.
"If the rule of law were estabiish
?d and certain, then there would be
far less need of armaments," the
president said. "So as we advance
toward security under the law, we
shall be able to reduce the strength
ind cost of armaments."
Speaking to the delegates at the
White house, the president "made no
direct reference to the pending move
or another arms conference, but did
take occasion to say that "a country
;o powerful in numbers and wealth,
io fortunate in its location as our
3wn, can and should set an example
of moderation in armament, and
should invite others to pursue a simi
lar program."
"And whenever a particular na
tion shall convince its neighbors of
?uch a purpose of moderation with
out aggression," he added, "it will be
;asier for other nations to adopt a
imilar attitude."
Only Enduring Peace
"The only enduring peace must
!e the peace of law, of order, of se
curity and honor. Such a peace we
wish for ourselves, and we devoutly
.vish to share it with every neighbor
in the family of nations. . . .
"Universal and assured peace, un
der the law of nations, is an ideal to
which all of us are devoted. It is
rue that we have not stopped wars.
But is is also true that there is to
'.ay a more definite and more widely
entertained conception than ever be
fore, of the possibility to prevent war
under an effective rule of law. This
is a great advance. We have not
reached the end; probably we shall
not reach it for many generations.
But it can hardly be doubted that the
purpose and aspiration of human
kind are definitely intelligently and

such a policy, the cost of armaments
would be enormously lessened, and
the general welfare of humanity ,
correspondingly promoted." j
Cutting Out Slacker and Profiteer
Assistant Secretary of War Dwight j
F. Davis told the conference that the'
United States was determined to
eliminate the slacker and the profi
teer in case there ever is another
war.
Urging a bill now pending in con-
gress based on the principle of uni-
versal industrial, as well as man
power service, he said that it con -
tained the very essence of democ-
racy.
"By controlling labor and capital,"
he said, "we effectively eliminate the
slacker. By preparing contract forms
to take the profit out of war, by
regulating the procurements of sup
-J
ply departments and other govern
mental bureaus to avoid competition
in the market and by rationing sup
plies of power, labor, fuel and trans
portation, we eliminate the profi
teer." Mr. Davis said the needs of the
nation in time of war have been de
termined and that "we are surveying
industry so that we may know for
each piant just what kind of war
work it is best prepared to do."
The speaker said that if America's
needs had been known before the
world war 240 million dollars would
have been saved on leather
goods
alone. Studies, he said, were being
made of the important commodities
which would be required in event of
war.
COMBINE IN GREEN
FRUIT IS CHARGED
Canadian "Investigator Reports Dis
covery of Fruit Distribution
Trust.
Ottawa, Feb. 23. Green fruit
producers and consumers through
out western Canada and in a large
portion of the United States are un
der the domination of the Xash
Mutual Combination of Jobbing and
Brokerage houses, it was charged in
a report filed with the Canadian gov
ernment today by Duncan Lewis, re
cently appointed to investigate an
alleged fruit distribution trust.
In his report. Commissioner Lewis
found that the combination "has op
erated detrimentally to the interests
of the Canadian public," in British
Columbia. Alberta. Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. He further held that
the Nash houses, of which there are
45 in Canada, linked up with 84 in
the United States, are a price-fixing
combination illegally maintained un
der the combines investigation act of
1913. It was under this statute that
Lewis wa3 appointed as investigator.
Various combines under the Nash
leadership, described as the largest
handlers of green fruit in the world,
according to Lewis, have divided
western Canada into brokerage areas
and have compelled all brokers sell
ing produce to jobbing houses to pay
toll to the brokerage houses of the
alleged combine. In some instances,
the report said. thi3 toll amounts to
as much as $90 a car. This prac
tice, the report holds "restricts dis
tribution, assists the creation of
monopoly and injures consumer, pro
ducer and broker."
Lewis recommended the establish
ment of a nationwide grower owned
selling agency as a remedy for exist
ing conditions.

ALFALFA, CLOVER
BROW WITHOUT
INOCULATION
, . ,
Nebraska Siol Grows Hay Seed With-
out Liming, Under Averse Con
ditions; Helps Some Farms.
We read much about the need of
innoculation and lime in growing J
alfalfa, clover and soy beans. Many
farm papers, particularly those to
our east, have much to say along this
line. What about innoculation and
lime for Nebraska conditions?
Occasional cases have been found
where innoculation has given good
results on alfalfa and sweet clover.
In most of the tests that have been
conducted, however, no beneficial re
sults have been secured. Innocula
tion of soy beans seems more apt to
give returns than of alfalfa cr the
clovers.
Soy beans will grow without in
noculation, but in that case obtain all
their nitrogen from the soil just as
does corn or wheat. Very little Ne
braska soil tests acid and showr, a
response to ilme. Some of the galncia!
; BOil
in southeastern Nebraska tests
strongly acid and in some lirain?;
j trials w hich have been carried on cn
, that soil, lime has helped to secure
good stands
Under average Nebraska conditions
neither liming nor innoculation are
apt to prove beneficial or necessary
in getting stands of alfalfa and the
clovers.
About "Eard Seeds."
When sweet clever seed is pro
duced, many of the seeds have a coat
ing on the outside which prevents
water from being absorbed. It such
a seed is planted it does not swell ur
and germinate as it should. This is
because every seed must absorb water
before it will grow. It has been found
that if one of these "hard seeds" a?
they are called, is scratched cn its
surface, it will then absorb water
readily and grow. This scratching
of the surface is called scarifying
and seed thus treated is known
scarified seed. This scratching of the
T;eed coat is done oy a macnine wnicn
Hurls the seed again ana again
again and again
against a rough surface such as sand
paper. The scarifying process not
only improves the germination of the
seed, but it also removers any hulls
' that might be on the seed,
j Nature's Way.
On the other hand, nature has a
way of scarifying these "hard seed"
which ia just as effective as the man
made way, but is much slower.
When the.e seeds fall to the graund
they do not grow at once, but will
remain on the surface over winter,
'j when the action of freezing and
i thawing puts the seed in condition to
j absorb water, when the warm days
'come in the spring it will grow.
This is the reason that often when
we seed unscarified sweet clover we
get a poor stand the first year, but
the second year we get a good stand
This is often an advantage because
in the second year we have some first
year plants which live over to the
next year and also have second year
plants whichwill produce seed and
die that year. In this way a more
' or less permanent stand of sweet
clover can be obtained. For spring
seeding insist cn getting scarified
sweet clover seed. Omaha Bee.

FASHION CHAZE ABROAD
London, Feb. 23. Psychic
beads
are London's greatest craze.
The cults of faith-healers, Coue en
thusiasts, and spiritualises thus rum
to new fields to conquer jewelry
and feminine decoration.
Ilright necklaces of prismatic
wooden beads arc now on the market,
each bead being of a di n't rent rolur
and with a different spiritualistic
significance, which, it is claimed,
will aid the disciple of auto-suggestion
to effect cures.
The necklace originated when Dr.
Coue suggested that his patienis use
a firing tied with twenty knots a
sort of psychic rosary for concen
trating on his cure.
The new way is to "speak the
cure" while touching each of the
colored beads in turn. The signifi
cance of each color is as follows:
Violet High religious feeling.
Indigo Spiritual development.
Blue Un self ishr ess.
Yellow Intellectuality.
