CULTIVATE THE So1L.-We agree with
the Augusta journal that the " high prices
which now rule for all farm products should
serve as the strongest motive for putting
forth every practical effort to increase pro
duction. There is great demand for la
borers to till the soil and this demand
should dc chcerfuly met, up to the full en-
ployment OF all mcn who are able to work
Farmers must not, if they would be wise
men, lessen their forces in the field on ac-
couat OF an increase Of wages. Mechanics
and manufacturers, and business and pro-
lcssional men. who cannot be employed in
the army, should take a new interest in
the operations Of the field of vegetable cul-
turc, mt least to the amount OF female la
Dor which they may in their several pur-
suits he able TO employ, in order to give
their time to ealtigating the soil In this
way thousands of .cres in Mai: should be

a gentlemen, who had two days ago

made of the sharpest steel, AMI having
clefts in them filed with . yirulcnt
poison. In crowded assembly, or in a
hall, the wearcr of this fatal ring, wish

would take their hand, and when pressing
it, the sharp claw would be sure to inhict
slight scratch on the skin. This was
enough, for on the following morning the
victim would be sure to be found dead.
Notwithstanding the many years since
which the poison on the ring had been

The Oxford Democrat tells good
story of two members of the House of
Representatives Of 1919. Shepard Cary
and MIR. Leavitt, usually known AZ.
"Oli Father Laavtt," Father Lea,itt
got the impression that if he voted just
opposite Cary, he would be sure to be
right, aud as Cary was called first on the
list it gave leayitt the cue how to vote
One day upon the call of the yeas and
nays, Gary for the time being out Of his
seat, did not answer the first call Of the
Clerk. This puzzled the oil gentleman
Leavitt, and when his name was called he
hcsitated, but finally voted nay But he
seemed to be in great doubt whether he
had voted right. At the call for the
absentces Cary voted gca. At this re-
response Father h threw up bota hands
