At first the pledge was easy to keep,

NO HITCH M NEGOTIATIONS.
London Cannot Explain the Gibraltar
DISPATCHES,

London, Nov. 2.-There is no ex-
PLANTATION yet of the apparently alarm
ing kilograms from Gibraltar, but at
the admiralty the movements OF the
warships are stated to be in compile
ton of the plans for mobilization, al
though Gibraltar says the mobilization
terminated Sunday. There appears to
have been some conflict in the orders
issued to the fleets owing to the sud-
den changes in the diplomatic situa-
ton which may possibly account for
the fleets movements.
Both at the foreign Office and at the
Russian embassy it is positively stated
that there is no hitch in the negotia-
tons except Russia's failure to notify
the British government of the names
OF the officers detached from the Rus
sian squadron. Z

the soil the rarmer,s Mtne.

The soil IS not only the hanlz- from
which the farmer draws the needed
supplies which he has deposited, but
it is also the mine from which he digs
the original sources of wealth which
he may deposit. The soil contains, in
ample quantities, the mineral elements
Of plant life, without which there can
be no successful crops grown. But
these are held in an insoluble condi-
ton. Plants can not use them until
they are made soluble, and this all
important work is done by nature only
upon certain conditions. One OF the
most important of these conditions is
that the soil should be broken and
pu1yerized so as to admit a free cir
culation of the air II this is done
aeration will do its all-important work
CT rendering soluble the mineral ele-
rnents which are found In the soil. The
water provided as cbove. finding these
minerals in a soluble condition, takes
them In hand and feeds the little
plants when called for.
Thus we find that the same thorough
preparation of the soil which helped to
keep the bank in /. healthy condition
also enables us to work the mine SO
as to keep on hand continuous fund
OF supplies.-Dixie Farmer.

THE CONVENTION HABIT.
Whenever q Few Of Our People Get

Business.

It IS said to be a trait OF the Anglo
Saxons that whenever a few of them
come together they elect d chairman and
proceed to business. A modern humor-
list had this tendency in mind, says
Youths Companion, when he proposed
the organization OF q League for Letting
Things Alone.
During the vacation season justclosed,
when men and women have had time to

parts OF the land. have .ssWapped" ex-

ensuing year, and then have gone home.

yentions has been mingled with modi-

he would be a meanspirited philosopher
who would grudge them to the purchas-
ers Of special convention tickets on
the railroads. or to the patient audiences
of those who indulge themselves in the
satisfactions Of public discourse.
The convention soers, in the heat Of
debate, are still aware that many things
are likely to occur. even in their own
field OF effort, without their constant aid.
They know that the forces of nature will
continue to join with the energies OF
man, in agriculture. commerce and men
tai endeayor, to bring to fruition the
seed which has been planted
Although the Anglo-sa knows
this, he will continue to organize. to talk
and to listen-to the good Of his soul and
OF his body. But it is well for him to re,.
