VIVA is THE SOIL 4

*
ssIf you were asked to- name tina
most imp rtant sof mineral substa nces.
you would doubtless hesitate for
moment, and weight the respective
merits of coal. iron, and The precious
metals. Only after some consid era
tion, probably, would It occur to You, ',s
says Henry Smith Hams, IL Apple.
toms for June. that these highly use
full substances have significant value
as compared with that familiar mix
ture Of ground-up minerals which We
call sol. ssss
Man could make shift to live and
even IN a measure to progress without
glass or cement or metals; but his
very life depends upon the little film
of triturated rock that is spread over
the surface of the globe III the form Of
earth. The! constituents Of this are
metamorph into the substance Of
plants, and ultimately into the tissues
of man himself
Properly to unde rstand the matter,
however, 1t must be comprehended
that the soil IS no important part Of 4
the earth s structure, except from
strictly human standpoint AT best
it is only a little Aim OF metal frayed
Soff from the Jacket called the eatht's
crust. To a giant of such size that the
earth were to him as an apple is to
us, the soil would be no more than the
bloom on the peach. With his hand
skerchief he could wipe of the films Of
water that we call oceans, like SO
much dew; and polish on the soil as
we rub the bloom of the apple, clear
down to the rocky foundat ons, with
out changing appreciably the size or
/ the weight OF his TOY. To scrape away
the entire crust of the earth ESQ far as
known to us) would be but to re-
r,oVe an infnitesimal shell; and the
total bulk OF air and oceans aggregates
only seven per cent OF that shell. Yet
the oceans cover threefifths Of the
earth's surface. and, as measured in J
human terms, are some miles in
5depth. How, then shall w estimate
the insigniicance of that little pow
dering Of soil, only q few feet In thick
ness, that is busted over the remain
ing two-ffths Of the earth's crust. Z

Der OF the volunteer corps which now

was brought to the notice Of the di-

{ The New York Post contains the
following awful arraignment of one of
the Empire states most noted men:
{ A more pftiful object than that
presented by the senior Senator from
New York it would be impossible to
think Off one could wholly forget
the junior Senator. Separated from
his wife, sued under scandalous cir
cumstances by another woman and
now living in a little apartment with
pair caretakers over all this we
would, of course, draw the veil were
he merely a broken-down private cit
lien, the victim Of his own frailties.
But he is Senator of the Empire
state, and the example he sets to the
young men of this commonwealth
make comment necessary. The Re
publican party OF this state may be
willing that its good name should be
80 disgraced, but the retention of
Thomas G. Platt as Senator is daily
disgrace to every decent man and
woman in New York. His party has
chosen splendid governor and has
at last given proof that it really
wishes to consult the interests Of the
people. It's next step toward rehabii-
ItaSion ought to be the purging Of tile
party OF both it's senators. And il
the Republican leaders have no shame
lei, the family Of the senator ought

able from every point Of view. A let
ter Of resignation is all that is re-
quired TO terminate this insupport-
able scandal.

OF 7HE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIG CONFERENCE ON PANAMA
zS EXPOSITION. i.

The commercial bodies of New Or
leans headed by the Progressive
Union and the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association have issued a
call for Panama Exposition Con-
ference to be held in New Orleans on
June ~, 2S and 20, and invitations
to participate are being sent to all
commercial bodies and cities in the
Southeastern, Mississippi Valley and
Southwestern states. The Exposition
is designed to celebrate the compile
ton of the Panama Canal and the
Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway,
the benefits of which will be felt by
all sections of the country, but more
Immediately by the Southern Valley
and Western States. Therefore, it is
planned to start the movement in
real earnest after conference among
the delegates from these states in
order that the views and ideas of all
sections may be known and acted
upon.
With this in view, Chairman Philip
Werlain of the Transported Com
mittee, has made formal request of
the railroads for a one fare round
trip rate for the occasion, and he re
ceiyed unofficial assurance that one
fare rate plus twenty-five cents will
be granted. The programme includes.
a smoker and conference in the Pan
anna Exposition proposition on the
evening of June 81, and such other
business, sessions as may be found
necessary together with several re-
Ceptions and aantertainments. III ...5.s,
Once the views 81 the various dele
cations become known, the work Of
organizing the exposition will com
mence on a big scale New Orleans
purposes to raise the sum Of ST, O00,-
900, and 1t is expected that this sum
will be augmented from various
sources to about $4,000, 900. The
Exposition will be held in 1915 or
1916, on the shore Of Lake Pont-
chartrain; Immediately in the rear
of the city. It will be the first ex-
position Of great magnitude ever held
for the celebration Of big event.
In the past ali expeditions have been
Tor the purpose Of commemorating
some historical anniversary.

The new law providing for the pub
lication Of the liquor licenses from
the federal government held in this
state, and directing county auditors
to procure list of such licenses from
the collector Of internal revenue, has
been the source of much corresponds
ence between state and county off,
cials and the government officials
having charge of the custody of the
federal license lists. 1t appears now,
after a good deal of writing back and
fourth, that lists of these licenses may
be obtained from the collector II, after
a copy of the list has been made, the
official requiring the list deposits the
amount to cover the cost of the copy.
This will enable the law Of this state
regarding the publication of licenses
to be complied with and there is no
reason why the provisions OF the law
should not be made at once effective.i
The building of a new hotel to cost
$3.50, 900 in Fargo proves the rapid
growth of the business of that city.
And this is a reminder that about a
hundred thousand dollars has been
expended for hotels In Bismarck In.
the past year, and the growing bust
ness requires all of the hotel accom-
modations now available to care for:
it. Bismarck is becoming the gate
way city to the western part Of the
state and nowhere is this fact more
clearly proven than in the demands
upon the hotel accommoda atoms Of the
city.

short coats and long or short skirts,

signs are chosen the skirts should of
right be long.
Combining cloth and silk is to be
Immensely fashionable this season,
and among the newest models are to
be found some fascinating instances
of this. The cloth skirt to be worn
with silk, the soft finished silk coat,
is most attractive, and absolutely new,
and, in fact, were it not that the
braiding on coat and skirt CORE
spends exactly it would be impossible
to believe that the two were intended
to be worn together. Soutache braid
ing is really one OF the marked fea-
lures of the season and is most extern
sively used on all materials and COL
ors. Yelling and silk have often been
combined, but never to the extent
they are this spring, and, as in the
cloth and silk costume, the coat of
silk is thought smarter than the coat
OF the same material as the skirt

Laboratory Not Ready.

St. PauI-It is feared that the chemi-

food products in this part of the
country will not be ready by May 1.
1t was announced some days ago that
q laboratory would be established in
st. Paul and a room in the old capitol
had been set apart for its use. There
was difficulty, however. in securing
men able to manage such laboratory
and, so. far as local authorities know,
little has been done toward setting up
the apparatus.
