POWDER AS A FERTILIZER.

An interesting experimen is in prog ress at the department of agriculture, where some months ago Dr. E. T. Gal loway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, began to study gunpOwder with reference to farming. For sever al years the ordnance experts of the army have had a peculiar problem on their hands in the accumulation of old fashioned brown powder which had become obsolescent. It had a way of deteriorating and of spontaneously eX- ploding. The navy also had much more of this powder than it wanted

The seals will be sold from
drug stores, department stores
and other kinds of stores and
shops, from post Offices, railway
stations, booths on the streets,
hotel Hobbies and in numerous
other places. The number of
agents handling the sale in this
way aggregating over $4,000
while the actual number of indi-
viduals engaged in the sale, al
most entirely volunteers, will
reach we'll over 100000 Society
leaders in almost every large
city of the country, notably in
Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Cleveland,
Chicago, Cincinnati, San Fran
cisco and elsewhere are taking a
leading part in this campaign.
The American Red Cross has
already printed for the work
over IS, OOO,0 900 seals and probab-
ly the edition will number 100,
100000 before the end of the
campaign. Fully 10, 900 pieces
of advertising literature have
already been sent out, and sever
al million more are being distri-
buted from local and state agen-
cies throughout the country. 1t
is planned to make the campaign
this year the largest that
has ever been held. If the an
ticipations of the anti tuberculo-
sis workers are realized, no less
than $500, 900 will be obtained
from the sale of Red Cross Seals.
Practically all of the money re-
mains in the state or city where
the seals are sold, only very
small percentage of it is going
to pay for the cost of the print
ing and distributing the seals
and for the expense of running
the campaign.

nounces that in case any person
cannot obtain seals in the com
munity where they live, they can
secure them by writing To Red

The Lot of An Editor.

We could write all the items OF
news on postal card that have
been phoned in to US this year,
and yet there are people in this
town who get swelled thicker
than a tick when we fail to pub
lish local about their coming
and going Wheeler Texan.
Those people expect the editor
to keep up with their movements.
He should, according to their
view, be on the qui vive for their
doings and hurry TO print the
same. They forget that he has
other things to occupy his time
and that when they are boarding
the train he may be kicking the
job press, and when they are re-
turning from Amarillo he may be
folding the papers for the mails.
OF course, the editor should do
his best for them. The people
who support his enterprise
should be well thought of by
him. But they should, in their
turn, help him along. There is
nothing immodest about tele-
phoning or otherwise sending
personal items in to the editor.
Such assistance is welcomed by
the always busy and overworked
man who is the whole thing on
a local paper. Aud if sometimes
he doesn't print items sent to him
don't get mad and quit. He is
the editor, you know, and has
his rules; also, maybe, his preju-
dices. Treat him right, and he
will return the favor with 80 per
cent interest. Dallas News.

gressional districts in Georgia, and 81
counties. This year he carried not one
county. Mr.. Roosevelt carried six.
In four counties this year Mr.. Taft
failed TO get single vote, and in 80
more ne got less than 10. In no county
did Mr.. Roosevelt fail to score, but in
seventeen he failed to get as many as
10 votes.
is 1t that Mr.. Roosevelt was a more
compelling influence in Georgia in 1908
When he backed Mr.. Taft for the presi-
dency than he was in 1912 when he
offered himself to the consideration of
voters?
or is it that Georgians very greatly
preferred Wilson to either Taft or
Roosevelt?
Or is 1t that Georgia gladly did for
Mr. Wilson that which it was disin-
ci1ned to do for Mr.. Bryan in 1902
The most likely answer is that the
Democratic nominee this year was
more to Georgia's liking than any the
party has offered in many days

2. Most of the places worth having,
except those which have to be con-
firmed by the senate, have been for
some time under civil service. This
greatly lessons the number Of posi-
lions formerly available.
8. For II years the custom has been
FOR federal officials appointed for four
States marshals, etc, to serve out their
terms unless they took part in politics
during their terms. Whether this GUS
tom will be continued It is impossible
to say.
4. President Taft is said to have de-
clared his intention to fill all vacan-
cies as soon as they occur. But wheth-
er the senate will confirm his ap-
pointees, or hold up their nominations,
it is impossible to even guess.
5. The custom has been for the pat.

distributed through the senators and
representatives thereof who are of the
same political persuasion as the ad-
ministration, II any such there be, and
il none such. then through the nation

friend or friends. Under that arrange
ment representatives are depended up
on to recommend postmasters in their
own districts while senator's are de-
pended upon TO recommend postmast-

political faith as the president. Sen
ators are also depended upon to recon-
mend for marshalships and Offices of
that kind, including departmental po-
sitions and places in the consular and
diplomatic service, and in fact all off,
ces not local. OF course, as a rule,
the senators consult with representa-
tives in these matters, all trying to do
the most possible for their constit-
uents.
6 What scheme for selecting post
masters, etc, President Wilson and his
cabinet may adopt is wholly conjectu-
raj. Some advocate one plan and some
another. Consequently il might be
best for those intending to be app1i-
cants to let matters rest until the sit
uhtion clears up somewhat.
MANY PLACES TO FILL.
/ 1t has been figured out by some of
the newspaper correspondents in the
national capital that President Wilson,
when he enters the White House on
March 4, will find that he has the pow
