That Andrew Carnegie is a doubt
er, IAN unbeliever in religion, is what
many persons have inferred from his
failure to remember churches con-
spicuously in his benefactions. The
statement is made by prominent
Philadelphia educator that Mr.. Car
negie is quite uncertain in his ideas
concerning the future life. Al
though born Scotchman and a
Presbyterian, if one can be born in
a church, he repudiated the church
long ago. His family continues to
attend the Presbyterian church. but
Mr. Carnegie has not been inside a
house of worship for many years.
His antipathy to the church and the
religion of Christ are known to his
intimate friends, but it has been the
general belief that he was Pres
byterian. Mr.. Carnegie does not
flaunt his infdelity in the public
view, neither does he hide it.

Lime Not A Fertilizer.

Ihasmuch as some dealers in COM
mercial fertilizers are advertising
lime asa fertilizer, claiming it is
better and cheaper than phosphates,
it may be we'll to state just when
and how lime may be applied to land
with profit. 1t is not fertilizer at
all. There is an abundance Of lime
in almost every soil to supply all
the needs of the plant. An amount
Of lime that could not be detected in
rain water will furnish more than
the amout Of lime needed for a
clover crop which requires more
lime than almost any other crop.
The main use Of lime is to correct
the acidity Of the soil.
Soils that have been farmed a
long time without rotation of crops
are very likely to become acid and
will not then grow any kind Of leg.
luminous crop at a profit. An appli-
cation Of quick lime or ground lime
stone at the rate of from 500 to l l.0O(
pounds per acre will correct this
acidity and make the growing ol
leguminous crops possible and pro
itable. They have an old saying
in Europe that lime enriches the
father and impoverishes the son
and some landlords in that country
prohibit in their leases the use O
lime.
When a boy we hauled out anc
aplied to land about 1000 or l,2O(
bushels of lime each year and notee

in the crop.
In those days the object of apply

A generation ago an English ply
sician of note declared that four
iiths of the English-speaking people
dig their graves with their teeth.
But this undoubtedly doesn't tell
the whole story. The manner in
which eating is done and the make
up Of the modern menu have good
deal to do with wrecking consti-
tutions. Many is the business
man who allows himself to
become 80 absorbed inshis affairs that
he will swallowhis meals in nervous
haste TINT soon becomes disastrous
to digestive organs. Hygienists OBJ
serve that Gladstone is credited with
chewing each bite twenty-five times
and attribute his longevity to his
correct habit Of eating. The culin-
ary art Of modern society has not for
its purpose the preparation of the
most wholesome food. The object
to be attained is rather to tempt a
jaded palate, to induce disregard of
the guidance of appetite.-sioux

We have had number of inquir-
les lately, says Wallaces Farmer asto
the value of millet as a nurse crop
for Glove and timothy.
We would not favor it at all.
First, millet is sown late-after corn
planting; second, it is rank grow
er with broad leaves which make a
heavy shade. The chances are that
the clover and timothy would grow
but would be spindling and would
not be sufficiently strong to endure
test winters in any part Of the
country.

In 1850 the country beyond the
Mississippi was waiting wilderness.
Today, with Alaska, it is three
quarters of the area of the country.
1t has more than a quarter of the
people, one-third the number of

and nearly half the farm value. The
population has grown 957 per cent
in fifty years-from 100000 to
22,O00,000, Missouri, Iowa and
Louisiana exceed in density of popu-

tanning five thousand acres is divid-

YUMA BANK CLOSED
Assistant Cashier ". 4. BOwIes Is
 Among the Missing.

Territorial Auditor Christy yesterday received a telegram from Superinten- dent Daniels of the prison saying that the Bank of Yuma had failed to open it's doors that morning. Mr. Daniels added that W. A. Bowles, the assistant cashier, had disappeared. Nothing was said about the amount of the missing funds, but they are supposed to have been considerable, as there is no other depository in that part of the country. The dcpositors are for the most part the farmers living in the Yuma valley which has filled up late ly with persons from Texas. Most of them had small sums, which they had been saving for the Improvement of their lately purchased farms. Major Christy, in his capacity of territorial bank examiner, will at once make an investigation.
 The Bank of Yuma was organized three years ago. Levi Sparr is the president: C. <. Patterson, vice-presi- dent, and F. S. Patterson. cashier. From the beginning the bank has done a good business, and was believed to be in a flourishing condition.
 The assistant cashier was a member of the dry goods firm of Johnson 6 Bowles. He is a young man. and had formerly lived at Globe. He was we'll liked, and was prominent in the demo cratic politics of Yuma county. His habits were believed by the majority of the people of Yuma 10 be correct and he had the confidence of the com munity.
