A stop In Time May Save . sermon.

One of the elements Of q successful SER
mon is q timely and effective CLOSE. Many
a grand effort has utterly failed for lack
of remembering this. A climax is reached,
the impression Is vivid, then, alas, "a
few more words" and the influence gained
is FILTERED away. WEAKNESS takes the
place Of conviction, and the truths uttered
before are forgotten. There Is no use IN
banging away when n has commenced
to fire blank neutrality-suspicious. Chrts

In Algeria there Is river Of ink. In the
upper part of Its course 1t flows through
beds of decaying moss, in the lower part
through strata of iron ore, and thus,
through the combination OF the two, its
waters acquire very nearly the color and

Plead Guilty.
usual.

George Edwards was arraign.
ed bsfore Justice ] w. Bell.
Tuesday, charged with stealing
clothing and other personal
property tc the value of $50,
from the residence of Isaac
Nelson last Saturday. Edwards
plead guilty to the charge and
was held for the Circuit Court.
He is now on the road for job
behind the bars. Edwards and
another negro called at differ
eut times at several houses,
brazenly walked up to the front
door and when the knock was
answered claimed to be hunting
work. At Mr.. Nelson's where
tue knock was not answered
the kind OF work desired seems
to have been found. Edwards
talks freely on all subjects, un-
til the other negro is mentioned;
then he closes up. He claims
to be between 16 and II years
of age but looks older. He says
that Hannibal is his home.
The residence of Melvin
Nolen was entered Saturday by
a negro whose description fits
Edwards. The whipping post
would be better for such tel.
lows as Edwards than a term in
term in the pen as it would do
more to lessen crime and save
the taxpayers a big expense.

A Runaway

AS Edwin Walker and Miss
Belle Johnson were coming in
Wednesday morning the horse
decided to have a little race of
its own. After running for
about half a mile it collided
with a tree near the school.
house, throwing the occupants
from the buggy. For tunately
neither party was seriously in,
jured. Miss Belle had to re-
turn home for that day at least,
but Edwin was attending to
business that afternoon. The
buggy was somewhat torn up
but they count themselves
lucky that neither were badly
hurt.

STOLEN TEAM OF HORSES

Last Friday a stranger ar.
rived in New London driving a
team of horses which he offered
for sale. He told a credita BILE
story about the horses and the
reason for selling them. As a
result the team was purchased
oy George Scott and Art Hay
den, liverymeu of New London,
who bought tn m for specula
tiou purposes, aud yesterday
Mr.. Scott drove to Monroe City
for the purposes of disposing of
them. After Scott had started
on his journey news reached
New London that the team had
been stolen from parties at Mexi.
co, 1t appears that the party
who sold the rig to the New
London liverymen drove from
Mexico to Hannibal Thursday
night and Friday continued his
journey to New London. A de-
scription of the man has been
furnished the officers and an eff.
fort will be made to locate him.

Notes. The effects of the
fertilizers are remarkable.
Doubtless they are magnified
somewhat for two reasons: Q)
The ground is cold, fat, thin
ground, not adapted to wheat;
~ Excessive wetness in early
spring caused the soil to pack
so closely as to exclude the air
and thus prevent the liberation
of plant food normally in the
soil. The kind of soil and the
season should be kept in mind
in interpreting results. 1t
would not be correct to say, for
instance. that cowpeas and
lime will increase the wheat
yield 3 fold over no treatment,
although that was the actual
result here. 1t would be more
nearly correct to say that cow
peas and lime increased the
yield 81 bu per acre.
From the above results we
find that cowpeas are a profit.
able crop to turn under, even a
catch" crop of a few weeks,
especially if person grows his
own seed, as We all should.
The lime was protitabl as only
little was used. and it is cheap
and will last several years.
The bonedust, too, was profit
able. The potash was the poor
est investment, as it increased
the yield only IA bus. and it is
rather expensive, and will not
last very long. The potash
cost about 81 per acre, and the
increase In wheat from It would
hardly bring 81
These results conform very
closely to the chemical COM
position of our soil, It is de-
fcient in nitrogen and in phos-
phorus, and the peas aud the
bone dust made the largest iu-
crease in yield-the peas furu-
ishing nitrogen and the bone
dust phosphorus. -
In buying fertilizers it is not
the big yield, but the profitable
yield that is desired. And this
wheat experiment emphasizes
the fact stated in another
article some weeks ago, that
bonedust should be bought for
the phosphorus it contains, and
not for the potash. For it
would seem that 1t is the phos-
phorus in bonedust that makes
it a profitable fertilizer for our
soil.
