REMIER MUSSOLINT Is not having things all his own way In Italy, as has been generally supposed. The op- position to reform the senate which was a part of his plan for a "Fascist state” Is so strong that It has been abandoned and the senate will be left unchanged. Instead labor and capital will have representation In the legis lative branch through appointments to the chambersof deputies. Three hundred such deputies will be chosen, and the rest of the chamber will be slected by a plurality system. The voters will be given two lists of can- didates, one from the Fascist party and one from the united opposition. Representatives of the Fascist cor porations as they become experienced in government would become eligible to appointment to the senate. the plane being fired Washington destroyed by correspondent, by powder made Armenian towns the EEN MARIE of Ruma ing the r hus nia, deny rs that her QF royal ated rumor Nd ordered her to re turn home, continued on her merry way through America.

From fons eco ficlent for clover; alfalfa requires three hundred to five hundred pounds per acre. This may be applied as a top dressing in the spring or fall after the crop Is started, Manure Allowed to Pile There Is always a loss when manure is permitted to pile up-be it summer or winter, The loss in the warm months is apt to be heavier than In the case of winterstored Manure ex- cept where the latter is held with no protection from the weather. But In summer, whether manure Is kept un. der cover or not, It Is certain to lose considerable of its fertility through heating. This Is a purely bacterial and chemical change. The most effective way to check it is to keep the waste slightly moistened. But better than this is to get it to the fields if possible, It Is no fallure In economy to fer tilize grass plots which one plans to plow in the fall or following spring. If manure be applied directly to the grasses in small amounts and thinly spread no loss of fertility elements will occur. Distribution is always bet. ter than allowing the waste to pile up, although if properly protected it can be held for short periods without seri ous loss, still quenches thirst, cools the parched throat and by its de- lightful flavor and refreshment restores the joy of life.
