The Boy That Passed.

A poor boy, who by dint of hard
work had succeeded in getting an edu-
cation, decided to try for a vacancy
in a Chicago bank. While he was in
the office the bank president touched
button and the banks detective step
ped in. He looked at the boy and
then went away. The president said,
Come back lin a week" At that time
the president said, There are forty
six applicants for this place. All have
been watched for a week. Only two
boys passed the character test, which
touched particularly the points of ex-
travagance, vice, where evenings were
spent, and the Sabbath day All this
is strictly business and not at all an
inquisition into private character. This
bank must take account of these
things for it's own sake Of the two
you have the best qualifications, and
the place is yours. Home Herald.

Another Artificial Fertilizer.

The success attained in Norway by
the electrothermic process for the fix
alton of atmospheric nitrogen in the
form of nitric acid, which is afterward
converted into calcium nitrate and
used as fertilizer in place of Chile
saltpeter, has been followed by the
development of another method offir-
ing atmospheric nitrogen by passing
it over heated calcium carbid. The
product is called cyanamid-in the
market 'nitrolim' and experiment
shows that when placed in the soil it
decompeses and furnishes nitrogen to
plants. At present cyanamid is, pro-
duced on an Industrial scale at Odda
in Norway, at Piano d'Orta in Italy,
at Notre Dame de Briancon in France,
at Westerglen and Bruhl in Germany,
and large plants are being established
at Almissa in Austria-Hungary, and
at Niagara Falls in Canada.

BACK TO NATURE.
Tide Is Turning From the City to the
Country.

1t is not so long ago that the pro-
portion of drift from country to city
was so great as to create serious
economic and sociological problem.
The agricultural sections were drain
ed of their population while the ac-
cretions added to the congestion which
prevails in all large cities. A factor
in impelling this tide of humanity was
the notion that in city is wealth. To-
day men are needing that in the coun-
try is health. The tide has turned away
from the city and~back to nature, with
the promise of a natural balance OF
population.
1t is easier today to keep the boy
or girl on the farm. Primitive ways
of living have given way to the mod
ern improvements that make for COM
fort, while the drudsery is erased by
the labor-saving appliances The best
of education may be obtained, while
the rural free delivery brings plenty
of books, magazines and newspapers
with their refining and enlightening
influences, to the farmhouse door.
The day of the tallow dip has gone,
and with his modern conveniences the
farmer has the additional advantage
of the freedom of out-of-doors which
the city man is now coveting, to say
nothing of his opportunity to make
the hungry cities.
When men built towns they neces-
sarily limited their opportunity to
enjoy nature. AS the congestion grew,
fresh air, the flowers and the fields
were pushed farther away. 1t took
sometime to appreciate their loss, but
mid 6nUn1Onn1nnf of suburban
Baltimore is proof of the fact that the
generation is city-tired and has it's
eye fixed on the country There is
difference, of course, between subur-
ban life and life on the farm, but the
drift is in that direction It's the city
for business and the country for
home.
Not all who long for the country
may have it, however, and the unfor-
tunate feature is that those who need
it most obtain it least. To these the
modern city owes an obligation to re-
store, so far as possible, the natural
advantages of which city building has
deprived them. Evidence of real
ization Of this obligation is to be
found in municipal parks, Fairgrounds
and breathing spots. No city has
enough Of them-least of all Balti-
more The well-to-do citizens with
his suburban home, to which the
breezes have free access, with the
green fields near at hand, = and the
country gentleman, can afford to have
pity for the tired mothers and the de-
jected children who are doomed to
stuffy huts or germ-laden tenements.
to build parks, civic centers
Fairgrounds and the like ought to re-
ceive the heartiest support from those
that have much while so many have
little. The city, too, must not be
lacking in enterprise to bring nature
back to the people. More parks and
more Fairgrounds are the need-and,
incidentally, it is folly to look upon
parks as municipal adornments, and
to fetter them about with rules that
deny popular enjoyment. There is no
panacea like natures fresh air, green
grass and sunshine. Those who can
seek it in the country; for those who
cannot it ought to be supplied in the
city in greater abundance.

Texas Editors Wedding.

The Editor of Texas newspaper
recently wrote up an account OF his
wedding, as follows
"Of course it was quiet wedding
we did not notice anybody raising
any row about it. Everybody seemed
to sympathize with the bride, and
looked at the groom as though they
could scarcely trust so dear treas
ure to his keeping forever. The bride,
as usual, was beautiful and accom-
plished' Gas all brides are. We have
often wondered where on earth the
home1y married women come from.)
She was appropriately attired in a
dainty brown travelling suit of de fois
waw shaw yaw or some other French
stuff
"The minister, who kept his head
all through the performance, and he
was about the only one who did, said
she was ninety-nine hundredths OF
the best looking couple he had ever
married. And we ourself, without
consulting either minister or groom,
will admit that most OF her good looks
are natural, and she doesn't have to
rub on lots of Nine. Somebody-or-
others face cream IN order to make
herself appear less than 40 years of
age.
The groom wore the conventional
black, that is, he wore dark rig-out
and frightened expression. The eX-
preston was his own property. In ad
dition to the aforesaid and above men
toned, he had on white tie, and a
pair of patent leather sheoes on which
the patent was about to expire. For
this one great day he was dressed up
within a quarter of an inch of his life,
and during the ceremony he shrank
so much that he looked like boy
wearing papa's clothes J"

Making Farming Paw.

Secretary Wilson in a recent ad-
dress summarized in a few sentences
the processes of a farmer who sue
ceeds in making farming pay This
successful farmer he thus describes:
He rotates his crops.
He has good pastures.
He has a good garden.
He tile-drains his lands.
He keeps UP good fences.
He puts all manure promptly on
the fields.
He keeps dairy COWS or mutton
sheep, or both.
He breeds draft-horses, and does
farm work with brood mares and
growing colts.
He has library with periodicals
and standard works, and a musical
instrument.
He keeps improved stock which
respond to their keeping and put on
the greatest per cent. of meat on the
prime parts.
He helps his wife in the house
when she needs it, has spring vehi-
Gle for her. to visit in, and drives her

Good Intentions.

He meant to insure his house, but
it burned before he got around to it
He was just going to pay a note
when it went to protest.
He was just going to help a neigh
Dor when he died
He was just going to send some
flowers to sick friend when it prov
ed too late.
He was just going to reduce his
debt when his creditors shut down
on him.
He was just going to provide prop
er protection for his wife and family
when his fortune was swept away
from him.
He was just going to introduce a
better system into his business when
it went to smash.
He was just going to call on GUS
toner to close deal when he found
his competitor had preceded him and
secured the order.
He was just going to quit work
awhile and take a vacation when
nervous prostration came
He was just going to repair his side
walk when a neighbor fell on it and
broke his leg.
He was just going to provide his
wife with more help when she took to
her bed and required nurse, doctor
and a maid.

Value Of Farm Land Increasing.

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value of farm land is rapidly
increasing in America Ever since
the discovery of the continent there
have been vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filled up the
continent, and all the land worth till
ing is under ownership. We are do
ing much by irrigation to reclaim the
arid lands, but these are rapidly filled
up as soon as they are made tillable.
Relieved of the pressure of vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise,
and the value of farm products will
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in the commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
of farm products, no particular de-
crease in the cost of living; indeed,
it has increased, if measured by
wages.

SYKESVILLE.

The highest price wheat has sold
for at Sykesville for 25 years was
reached this week when $135 per
bushel was paid. Ear corn is quoted
at $3.75 per barrel.
The grain elevator and mill which
is being built by Wade H. D. Warf1eld
e Co. is progressing rapidly. The
foundation will be completed this
week and ]. M. Bollinger, the fore
man for the Burrell Engineering -&
iSonstruction Co., of Chicago, who
have the contract for the erection of
the building and the installation of
the machinery, expects to complete
the job in eight weeks.
The capacity Of the elevator is 20,-
900 bushels wheat and 1900 barrels
.ear corn. The latest improved ma
'chinery in both labor and time saving
will be used. Mr.. Warfield has just
completed a large warehouse for hay
and straw. When the mill and ele-
'vator is completed this firm will have
the most complete and modern plant
of the kind in the state.

life two years ago today April "a. 1907. Gone but
not forgotten
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
And our grief too deep to tell;
But time will come to US so soon
That we may with her dwell,
We did not want to part with her,
But God knew what was best;
Some day we hope to meet again
In that sweet land of rest.

The depth of my sorrow no tongue can tell
At the loss of the one loved so well,
While she lies in peaceful Sleep
Loving remembrance of her will faithfully
keep.
Two years have passed. still miss her.
Friends may think the wound has healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within my heart concealed.
