When Gypsy Smith. the English evan ~aiisf led 15.OOO persons through the streets of Washington at midnight on a march against sin, he was quite as much rejoiced over the awakening of the church people as over the success of the assault on the Devil. Revival fists and militant evangeiists have an answer to the question so much dis- cussed by the pastors of American churches: ''Why are the people drift ing away from the church? That answer Is: Because the churches lack enterprise and fail to give their people things to do''. M

 These evangelists and their co-wark- CTS do not pretend that there is great revival now in progress in the United States. but they hope to bring one about by preaching this gospel of action. Australia was swept with a revival flame kindled by Torrey and Alexander, the two American evange- lists who went out from the Moody Bible Institution in Chicago just ten years ago. Wales was literally trans formed and transfgured by the revI- val spirit, which began at a Sunday night prayer-meeting, and which found its preatest prophet in Evan Roberts, a twenty-six year old coal mine laborer who made 35.000 converts in the first year of his mission.
 The efforts to bring about a great revival in America date from the Welsh revival of 1904. It was then that the

 roses full of dew
 And the dew is full of heavenly love

 At the regular monthly meeting Of the Flower Growers Association held at Green Acres on Monday. November 2. the following beautiful poem was read by Mrs. Mckinney:
 NOVEMBER. November is the resting time Of natures wondrous loom Her busy shuttle silent lies,
 The clouds are tones of gloom. There are no leaves that spring to life, The trees are sad at heart, Ande natures sculptor folds her hands And idly sits apart.

It is the presence of Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon as party leaders which makes 1t so hard for Mir. Roosevelt to convince every body that his is a reformed Republican Party.

Castro. Dictator, Etc.

Washington Star.
 As he styles himself. Castro is the "restorer of Venezuela and constitu- tional president of the republic" but to those who know him well he is a diminutive half-breed Indian. an un- educated cowboy. who has developed into a forceful despot and fairly able dictator, who has been annoyed by,on- ly one short-lived revolution during the nine years that he has held ofnce. He rode into the presidency over the constitution, putting to flight General Andrade, who had actually been elect ed peaceably and according to law, and Castros love for that sacred instru- ment is no greater today than 1t was then. Therefore, the efforts of his ad- herents to perpetuate his regime by holding a constitutional election is beyond explanation.

one hundred women from various

Uncle Sam Thinks They Have Been
Swindling Him.

Chicago Feb. 25.-A campaign of
widespread activity against honest
dealers in oleomargarine has been in
augurated by the internal revenue
officials of the first district of Illinois,
which includes Cook county and
eighteen other Northern counties of
the state.
The price of butter has been so
high of late, being in the neighbor-
hood Of 40 cents a pound, that oleo-
margarine spectators have been
pushing their trade in all directions,
the consequence being that the inter-
nal revenue department has been
forced to put an unusually large
force of men at work to stop dishon-
eSty as far as possible.
1t Is stated that the government Is
being defrauded out of many thou
sands of dollars because of the prac-
tice of numerous o1eomargarine deal
ers in illegally colorfng the oleomar-
garine for sale to the consumer as
butter, thus evading the federal tax.
A clear profit of 9% cents on every
pound Of the product is made by the
dishonest dealer In beating the gov
eminent out of its tax.

NORTH SIDE DRAINAGE CASE
Mr.. James Tells of the Work Pro-
posed and Necessity for 1t.

Mr., T. M James said today in dis
cussing the drainage district PROPOSE
ton on the North side for which direc-
tors are to be elected on March 8:
THE resident taxpayers of this drain
age district, owing to difficulties about
it's organization, were driven to elect
just one mode of relief-and that by

distance without splitting over Its sides
on to any of the adjacent farms as II
makes it's way to a safe delivery into
the Kaw below town. thereby making
damage and guarding the general bus
mess and property interests against
loss or Inconvenience.
Putting in a large drain pipe on a
straight line. or making channel OF
straight solid masonry, constantly
growing in size downward, would have
been an ideal and perfect watercourse;
and when loaded up with the water
intended for 1t, would have carried its
burden all the way to the place Of

to anybody or thing.
while this ideal or perfect drain
would have cost too much, 1t yet serves
to illustrate to everybody the essential
engineering plan of improvement; and
the surveyor keeping the engineering
ideas of straight and quick and safe
withdrawal in mind, fixed upon a plan
of making channel as nearly like the
ideal one as he could with the money
available, and the material that he had
to work Notwithstanding to gather
I'D all the water in the two townships
and pass 1t safely along to the outlet.
1.-THE railroad interests sent their ex-
pert men to inspect this plan and said
1t was good enough-or as good as any
that could be made. The board Of con-
troll for the state interests at the re-
perhaps 1t was the best that could be
done; whereupon 1t was submitted to
the district at an election and approx
ed by the taxpayers and the bonds vo-
ted to pay it's cost.
THE expense Of it has been placed
upon all the taxable property in the
district as a whole. Whereas If spec
ial assessments should have been made,
the cost would have been charged to
lots and lands only. a basis one-ha1f
less than the one selected.
Having built up this method of pro-
lection In accordance with the require
ments Of the drainage act It would seem
better to prosecute the work to com
pletion as started, following out the
public spirit that has brought about
the present happy conditions, and fol-

old baby, who soon grew as fat as a

MAINTAINING FARM FERTILITY
Great Efforts Made by Agricultural
Bureau Toward Fertilization.

Washington, Feb 25.-It is gener-
ally conceded that many of the farms
first taken UP in the older sections Of
this country have become quite un-
productive because of the exhaustion
Of the fertility of the soil. This has
been largely due to the continued
practice of producing crops to be sold
as such, rather than feeding them to
animals on the farm and selling the
products as meat, milk, wool, etc.
When crops. such as hay, straw and
grain are sold, all the elements of fer
tility possessed in them leave the
farm; when these materials are fed
to live stock not less than 75 per cent
of the elements OF plant food posses
sed by them is left on the farm in the
form of barnyard manure. The for
lowing data, secured from Farmers
Bulletin No. 1872, OF the office Of ex-
pertinent stations here, give an idea
of the value of the fertilizing mater
ia1s contained in some farm products,
viz:
The fertilizers contained in one ton
Of meadow hay is worth $40, that in
one ton of corn $6.75, in one ton of
milk $2.09, and in the same weight
Of live cattle $11.7S; or to put it an
other way, the manurial value of SO
worth of each of these game materials
would be as follows: In $40 worth OF
meadow hay there would be $50
worth of fertilizer, in corn $3.7S in
milk S8c, and in live cattle $1.1S. It
is therefore very apparent that there
is great saving of fertility of the
farm in marketing animals and ami
NAL products rather than the crops.
Enormous quantities of artifcfal
fertilizers are used by the farmers of
this country. 1t would only be logical
to assume that the fertilizers produce
ed on the farm should first be care
fully saved and applied to the land,
and then any deficiency made UP
from commercial fertilizers after
ward But this is not always done;
the losses incurred in connection with
barnyard manure are enormous. The
manure is sometimes thrown out
through openings in the side of the
barn and Is allowed to pile up against
the building where the water, drip
ping down from the caves, washes out
much of the fertilizing material. Nu-

merous experiments show that from
80 to so cent of the plant food of ma
nure may be lost in this way. 1t Is
not uncommon to find the years ac-
emulation Of manure piled in the
open in such way that the leach

of dollars could be saved annually II

fields frequently. So far as possible
