Time to Call a Halt.

Supreme Justice David j. Brewer re
Gently asked the chairman of the APP
preparation committee in the house kof
congress why it was that this nation
had not paid off any of its billion dol
lar debt in the last ten years. He re-
ceived this reply:
In the last ten years the total APP
preparations for the army were $780,
900, 900. OF course, omit giving any
thing but round figures. This is exclu-
sive of pensions. For the prior ten
years the appropriations were only
SPAS, 900, 600. During the last ten years
the appropriations for the navy were
1897, 000, 900, the ten years prior 1862, :
600, 900 or an excess in the appropria-
lions for the army and navy during the
last ten years over the prior ten years
of 81, ll9. OOO, 900. That is why we have
not paid the national debt"
The bugbear of war, and the war
spirit and the army and navy :.aristoc-
racy are yearly plunging this nation
more and more into the class of army
ridden Europe 1t is time to call a halt
and to stop the extravaganza. The
only way to do it is to elect peace-lov-
ing and peace-believing men to the
highest Offices. = Clayton County Dem.

Tubercuiar Sanitarlum.
AS the state tubercular hospital is
rapidly becoming pvercrowded the
board Of control suggests another san
itarium be established, thus having
one for advanced cases and one for
incipient cases. This seems like a
move in the right direction, as with
the increase OF intensive population
the percentage of people who. cannot
resist tuberculosis under local condA
lions will increase. Over 95 per cent
of the population of this state con-
tract this disease at some time in
their life. but the great majority have
sufficient resistance to overcome the
disease before it places its unEnastak-
able marks upon them. The number
of unfortunates resulting from this
will, under the stress OF high tension
conditions increase in the future and
the extra sanatorium will be needed
to care for them and then convert the
present one into a home for advanc.

There is reason to believe that the

FERTILITY OF SOIL.

\. Z. WhitSOn Of the Wisconsin Sla-
ton. says: Directly or indirectly the
food of mankind comes from the SOIL,
and there is. therefore, nothing more
IMPORTANT in agriculture than that the
factors which determine the product
iyeness OF the soil be thoroughly under
stood This is written for the purpose
of putting before the farmer state
menl OF our present knowledge OF the
factors which influence the fertility or
the soil and Of the relation of these
factors to each other. The a3ricul-
tural plants require for growth a Ia
yorable temperature, light, and sup
ply of material. including carbon dl-
oxide. water and certain chemical Gle
monts derived from the soil. The chief
of these elements are nitrogen, phos-
phorus. potassium. calcium and magne-
SUM Since oxygen is used at every
point Of the plant where growth takes
place. il is needed at the tops OF the
roots. and therefore soil must be aer-
ated. All these conditions are depend
ent of the climate. on the physical
and chemical conditions Of the SOIL,
and on various changes going on in the
soil.
