Expert chemists IN the department Of
agriculture at Washington have made
analyses Of alfalfa delds which show
that BY the time the plants are two
years old they have added to each
acre over 500 worth OF fertility In
the shape Of nitrogen. phosphoric acid
and potash. It Is because Of this fact
that land In sections where alfalfa Is
being grown is not running down at
the heels, but Is becoming more fer

Young man!
Let Peter Van Vlissingen, "the for
ger king Of Chicago, have your ear
a minute.
You might cut out these words Of
Van Vlissingen and paste them where
you will see them often:
BE honest In small things. All
criminals begin by practicing dishon-
esty in small things.
DO not permit your conscience to
become ealloused. Once this takes
place, your fall will be sure and GER
tain.
BE economical and never risk other
peoples money In a venture, no matter
how certain of success you are
Once you commit a wrong, make
restitution Immediately. Delay means
ruin"
This is the story Of Van vlissingen:
He was a leading real estate dealer,
known in business circles as Honest
Pete" He was trusted to the limit.
One day it was discovered that this
man, looked up to as straight and
successful, was a forger.
He made and uttered forged paper to
the enormous amount of $1,2OO.OOO.
The warning he gives to young men
Is wrung from his bitter personal ex-
perience. He began his forgeries in a
small way. Once started, he had to
cover one forgery by another. And
how do you suppose this man felt, Iiv-
ing daily in the fear of discovery?
Here is a look into his soul:
No one can know the relief I felt
when first the uniform Of a convict
was put upon me-a relief after twenty
years of crooked work and deceitp'
Van Vlissingen's words are the
words Of a man who sees nothing
ahead Of him but the four walls of
cell, and they are worthy your atten-
ton.
The essence of his warning is to BE-
WARE OF THE BEGINNINGS OF
DISHONESTY
One link in wrongdoing may not
undo you, but one link added to an
other will forge chain that some day
will bind you hand and foot.
One step down may not ruin Won.
but one step leads to another below
1t, and soon you are on the toboggan
slide. The descent to Avernus" be-
comes easy.
Dishonesty betrays itself. 1t cannot
keep a secret.
Wrongdoing is its own sheriff and
court and jury.
Dishonesty and discovery grow on
the same stem.
