WHEN The SOIL
REQUIRES Lime.
Need Best Determined by a
Few Experiments.

There is only one sure way of de
termining whether soil needs lime.
aud that is by trial. An application
of lime over a whole field would be a
waste of both time and money if the
field were not in need of such an appli
cation. 1t Is suggested that the farmer
who has not already proved for him
self whether his soils need lime would
better conduct few simple expert
ments at different points on his farm.
A few barrels of lime or few tons
of limestone would not cost great
deal. and the labor Of treating strip
with lime or ground limestone here
and there across different fields in
which crops were to be grown or so
treat a small area here and there at
different points in the fields in which
crops have to be grown would involve
but small amount Of labor. These
areas should be very carefully locat-
ed and marked, and the results Of
the applications should be carefully
studied on the succeeding crops. 1T is
possible that the effects. good or bad.
may be easily apparent. 1t is possible
that the effects can be discovered only
by carefully cutting and weighing the
crops from portions of the treated areas
and comparing them with the crops
produced upon equal adjacent areas.
Lime should not be applied to ma
nure piles nor to the litter in the barn.
Lime should not be applied to land
being prepared for potatoes.-Mic hi-
gan Experiment Station.

In THOSE DAYS

In those days in our town, in front
of nearly every house leading from
the front gate to the front porch, was
the sidewalk of bright red bricks.
Also of the same sort one switched
off and went around to the side porch.
Also, and thereby hangs this tale, there
were
Cracks between the bricks.
In these crevices luxuriantly grew
grass and weeds, which grass and
weeds were not highly esteemed by
ores mother nor deemed to be particu-
larry ornamental.
Therefore-woe.
Presented with an old case knife, you
received general orders No. / to move
on the works and extinguish and de-
stroy the green stuff.
Now
You yourself had held growing
admiration for the contrast afforded by
the green of the vegetation with the
red of the bricks. Privately you re-
GREETED that your mothers education
in art had been so much neglected.
Well
Maybe it was only coincidence, but
it usually happened when you were
detailed to do grubbing duty on that
very day an expedition TO tbs river
had been planned by the gang.
Opportune time for diplomacy.
The willing workers of the, gang
were set to work with theig jack
knives, and the others were entertain
ed on the board walk outside the
premises.
And meantime
You Rugged yourself because your
folks had only a fifty foot lot. Many
a fellow had been left in the lurch be
cause the gang, rebellious, had drawn
the line on an engagement of 100 feet
front by 200 feet deep.
Three cheers.
The walks are cleaned and swept.
and the gang. whose was the bloody
gonfalon, "The old gang dies. but nev-
err surrenders,'' was hiking to the old
swimmin' hole.
Today read an editorial scoring the
"robber cement trust" No doubt the
editorial was right; but. Mr.. Editor
Have You considered the fact in con-
nection with the small boy OF today
that cement is cheaper than bricks?
And also the further important fact
that weeds do not grew up through
cement?

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.
by EDWIN a. NYE.

We have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the sometime guest.
But oft for 'our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
Margaret r. Sangste-.
The other evening in certain city
two small boys were heard sobbing in
front of their home.
No one came until neighbor went
over and inquired the cause for grief.
One answered.
I'VE want to go into the house 1t
is so dark and cold here But mother
won't let US In because sue is having
a card party"
Doubtless the mother loves her own
the best. but in her strange way OF
showing it she locked out her babes
and reserved her smiles for the some
time guest"
It's often so.
know a travelling man who is home
only on Sunday On that day his wife
and two daughters go to church and
leave him to get his dinner.
He has been heard to remark that
charity begins at home And so does
religion.
OF course neither charity nor re-
llgion ends at home. but that charmed
circle is surely the beginning place for
the exercise Of both.
THE candle that shines farthest
shines the brightest nearest home"
Ins m
home throws its beams!'
We have Scripture warrant for the
statement that he who provideth not
for his own household has denied the
faith and is worse than an intidel :
And
Providing for household means
more than furnishing the bread and
butter.
The sort of hospitality that shuts
out its own to give careful thoughts
for the stranger is not hospitality at
all. 1t is refined cruelty 1t does not
even meet the definition of Herbert
Spencer. who says that. all action is
fundamentally selfish.
The sort of religion that leads us to
neglect and refuse our own in order TO
minister to the heather abroad is not
real religion
Let us stand by our own. 1t is they
who will stand by us when the others
turn the cold shoulder and forget our
benefits.
Selfish?
No. He who lives best and loves
most III the little circle win live best
and serve most in the wider circle.

A FATHERS DEVOTION.

Three years ago Captain Peter G.
Hains Of the regular army shot and
killed William E. Annis
Hams asserted that Annis had de
stroyed his domestic peace and in his
defense appealed to the SO called I'M
written law.
The attack VAS cold blooued.
Despite the fact that the shooting
was shown to have been premeditated,
the pleas Of the lawyers saved Hams
from the electric chair sss.
out OF the story of blood outlines
comes one redeeming feature-the tale
of fathers devotion to his son.
The father Of Captain Hams Is the
yencrable General Hams, retired Of
fieer Of the United States army.
Throughout the trial the white haifed
veteran stood by bis son. And no Soon
er was the sentence pronounced than
General Hams began to work for his
sons release from prison.
Ii was a herculean task for an old
man.
The jury was interviewed and labor
ed with Tens OF thousands of sigma
lures TO the petitions to the governor
were occurred by the gallant old soldier.
The result?
After three years Of this labor OF
love, which required all the energy
and tact and patience General Hams
could summon, young Hains was par.
Aoned by the governor of New York.
The governor has been severely criti'
cfsed for the pardon. Without ques-
tion the executive and the many pc.
titioners we're influenced more by pity
for the old father than by considera-
tion for the son.
And so out of the shameful provoca.
eion and the hateful act of the young
man who took the law into his own
hands comes the fine spectacle of 9
fathers conservation.
If you are father you can under
stand
Whatever the sons certain guilt
whatever his rass act. whatever the
disgrace and humiliation, bringing IA
Tiers gray hairs to the dust
It was his boy.
Stories of a mothers devotion are
as common as mothers love. To save
her child she will so to the verge.
And by the same token true father
will go as far.

Wilmington Is to be congratulated

body Of men who are capable of dis
cerning the peoples needs. Had the
city sufficient funds It would probably
have as finely paved streets as New
York. They know that the people are
clamoring for emancipation from the
present electric light octopus They
know that the people do not wish to
depend on anything that one COM
pany chooses to hand out to them.
They know that the people want two
companies TO select from. just as well
as they want two political parties 20
select from. What would be the
state Of affairs 1. only one political
party should have an exclusive fran
chise TO remain in Office forever?

develop the affiliations Of the men re-
naming on the initial venire.
It is certain now that Ortie Nc
Manigal will be the crux of the entire
situation. Had John Mcnamara been
the first defendant tried. then con-
spiracy would have been an absolute
issue and the National Erectors AS
sociation would have been the chief
factor. But Detective William ].
Burns, who is directing the securing
OF evidence for the state sent word
that he was unable to get a complete
chain involving John. He suggested
that James Mcnamara be placed on
trial emphasizing his belief that his
conviction would bring in much new
evidence, especially regarding the al
legged motive for the dynamiting. Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks fell in line
with this suggestion, despite his pre-
vious promise that he would absolute
ly justify the arrest In Indianapolis
OF John Mcnamara and his hurried
trip here.
Even the prosecution admits that
James Mcnamara, If guilty at all, was
only tool. His conviction, should II
be possible would be simply TO pro-
logue to the main drama which has
for its object the connection Of John
J. Mcnamara, as secretary-treasurer
Of the Amalgamated Structural Iron
Workers, not only with the demoli-
ton of The Times building but also
with the alleged explosion under all
the structures controlled by the Ma
tional Erectors Association.
Attorney Darrow, chief defenre
counsel discussing the case said to-
day
1--WE know the State moved to try
James Mcnamara first because Il real
lied the necessity Of laying a founda-
ton for an attempt to prove tie
statements Of Detective Burns. They
will not be able TO do so with the
perfect defense we have for James
But even If we admitted that we have
not such a defense, It would still be
impossible TO connect organized labor
with The Times explosion"
Eleven veniremen were locked up
today while careful canvasses by both
sides developed that all Of them are
obnoxious to one side or the other It
is certain that not a man now detain-
ed pending final decision will remain
after the right of peremptory chai-
lenge has been exercised.
The attorneys for the defense are
jubilant over Judge Bordwells ruling
that prejudice against members OF
labor unions is just cause for dismiss
sal from the jury. The defense had
not expected such a ruling and pre-
diets that It is certain to help their
side before a Jury is completed.
Now that the trial is actually in
progress, feeling Is growing more IN
tense here and there is a strong fear
that It will affect all incoming
venires.

HERE Is A REAL
DYSPEPSIA CURE
No Indigestion, Gas, SOurneSs
or headache Five Minutes
Later

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia OF out-of-order
Stomach is merely a matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapep-
sin.
If your Stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the stom-
ach to do its work, not with drastic
drugs, but d reinforcement of diges-
tive agents such as are naturally at
work in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach. no heartburn. Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach. and, besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved in five minutes
after taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get 30
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you.
They freshen you and make you feel
like life is worth living

WILMINGTON,s LESsnN-

There will be no such mistake
made about granting the Public Utili-
ties Light, Heat and Power Company
franchise as there was in turning
down the fine offer, in 1904, Of the
Otto Gas Engine Company. Just think
what Wilmington has missed all these
years by the, misdeeds Of a former
Street and Sewer Department. They
have missed the advent of a new in
dustry that would have given en-
ployment TO $500 men, besides serving
the public with rs cent gas all these
years. The city Of Wilmington is to
be congratulated on the high quality
Of intelligence as contained in the
present board. Their favorable action
on the franchise of the Public Utili-
ties Company may be the beginning Of
new life Of progress for the city Of
Wilmington. Who knows but that
this may be the precuroor of many
good things to happen to our fair
