The Page between.

A New Orleans woman, well known
for her work for charity, recently &C
cepted an invitation to speak at an
anti-tuberculosis meeting. On the plat.
form she found herself seated between
a bishop and a rabbi, and the tone Of
the meeting seemed to be rendered ex-
tremely solemn by the combination.
In order to tighten the solemnity, she
said, turning to the rabbi: do you

Soil for Strawberries.

There is no danger of getting the
soil too rich for Strawberries. Soil
that will raise good potatoes will raise
good Strawberries. Chip dirt Or we'll
rotted manure, with a little commercial
potash and rock phosphate applied with
the manure a year before the plants are
set, make good fertilizers.
The strawberry bed should be on an
elevated plot of land, so drainage will
be perfect. If it is not, ditch it out so
water will not stand on the plants after
a rain. While the plants need an abun-
dance Of moisture, they will perish if
there is an excessive supply of water.

The wood chemistry section of the
Forestry Bureau has been giving some
attention to the subject Of production
OF turpentine from yellow pine waste.
1t is stated that for the recovery of
t%urpentine from waste wood h steam
~distillation process is far superior to
destructive distillation, making n more
uniform crude t%urpentine, and usually a
higher grade refined product. The
wastage from the yellow pine cut each
year would yield as much tnrpentine as
the entire present annual output In
this country, with a value of $4,000
900. At the present rate of cutting the
supply of long-leaf yellow pine In the
South will be practically exhausted In
twenty years, but that the methods CT
exploitation now in use convert only
about half the tree into market pro-
duct.

The South's Political Independence.
I'm Tuesdays election the southern
states began the writing of their po-
litical history of Independence. The
result means that the time has passed
when a resident of one of these states
must buy his social security, often
perhaps at the price Of his political
convictions. Many business men the
south over, most of them adherents of
the Democracy all their lives, dared
to support hopefully and openly the
candidates of the Republican party
because their conviction led them that
way. The Constitution is indorsing
their action only to the extent of say
ing they were right in giving material
expression TO their true convictions.
That southern vote which in firm he
lief wrenched itself away from Sec
tional political tradition-and it was
a large one--was significant. 1t
means that the time has come when
the voter of the south is going to dem
onstrate his faith by works and not
let convictions wait upon a cobwebbed
tradition which a new nationalism
has decreed must be brought up to
date. In national affairs there re-
mains no longer reason why the peo.
pie of the south should not follow
men and principles which to them
seem best and promise most to nation
al prosperity. The south will not
continue longer II mere voting ma

prospects are good that before the
1des of December, 1909. the large
canal to be constructed by the Wes-
tern Land Company will be we'll
under way and many locations under
the state homestead law made on
lands just east of town. The con-
struction of that ditch will bring in
many settlers. The rush from the
over crowded states in the west is on
and the Saratoga valley presents the
best opportunity for building up
homes easily and quickly of any
point in any of the arid states. The
coming of ley homesteaders to occu-
Ply these fertile lands will bring new
blood into this community. This is
OF the greatest importance, for with
new blood will come new energy and
push and the country will get the
benefit of new ideas and new methods,
all of which is indeed badly needed
and will tend to the advancement of
the whole community.
