to be the formation of a new corpora-

and an exchange of stock of the con-

proposed corporation would have as-
sets of about $230,000000, and an an-

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.

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.

joyment for so little.
