MISS HEMENwAY's RECITAL.

The School OF Expression of Elm
wood Seminary gave the people of
Pennington rare treat when they
engaged Miss Ruth Hcmenway to
read 1.-The Fourth Estate" This IL
play that deals with the inner
workings of great city daily news
paper and the men who work to
make 1t success by publishing
news or keeping news from the pub
lie. Miss Hemenway has a voice of
wonderful range and great culture.
She made the story play of many
people and not one,
There were many incidents, tragic
and pathetic, with a touch OF come
dy from the socially ambitious wife
of the newly rich man who had
bought newspaper to get even with
the enemies of his early life. The
plot includes the exposure of a
prominent judge who had been un-
true to his pledge of giving justice
to his people, but instead was the
tool of big trust in when all of
the little fellows were frozen out.
The love story, embracing the young
managing editor, who adhered to
principle, and the daughter OF the
corrupt judge, was delicately given.
The whole play was much enjoyed
by the audience. Miss Hemenway
is sure OF a welcome should She re-
turn.

WHAT PHYSICIAN MOST FEARS
Alcohol Is Chief injury to Nervous
System and intellectual Powers
Benefit Societies.

In Great Britain a number Of benefit
societies keep abstainers and moder-
ate drinkers In separate sections. and
even the moderate drinkers must be
temperate or they are not admitted to
membership. These societies are
obliged to render reports to the gov
ernnent, and such reports show an
average Of 19 days Of sickness per
year for the non-abstainers, or moder-
ate drinkers, against Il days or less
for the abstainers.
DR.. William L Reid Of Scotland.
who cites the statistics Of these ben
eft societies, quotes this significant
passage from DR.. Buchner. professor
Of medicine in Munich university:
Alcohol kills the largest number Of
victims by ambush, as it were. in that
It undermines the powers Of resist
ance to sickness. so that the appar-
emily quiet, temperate drinker sue
cumbs to lung Inflammation or to an
infectious disease which the sound,
normal body easily overcomes. But
what the physician most fears in al
cohol is chiefly the injury to the nery-
Gus system and the Intellectual pow
ers."

SIDE-DRESS AS EARLY ASPOSSIBLE

We are getting out a 4-1o-2
guano; four per cent Phos-
phoric Acid, ten per cent of
ammonia ard two per cent of
potash. Also a 4-7-2 guano
four per cent phospIloricacid
and seven per CT of ammo
MIA and two per cent of potash.
These are specials for side
dressing and we have taken
great pains to get them up so
as to give the best possible
reults. This fertilizer is heavily
charged with nitrate of soda,
to be available as food for the
young plant as quickly as pos
sible. Then we use with this
nitrate of soda a combination
of high grade fish and blood to
come in as the nitrate of soda
gives out, to back up the work
started by the nitrate o soda,
and to make it fruit on up to
tie tod and mature as much 70
of the fruit as possible.
We thiuk this Fertilizer am
moniated with soda, fish and
blood is a better side dresser
and is better for the soil than
soda by itself. A heavy dose
of soda on land leaves the soil
in an exhausted and thirsty
condition. Soda by itself has
the effect on a crop of a good
soaking season fallowed by dry
weather. This special predara-
tion we are getting up for side
dressing telng ammon!ated
with scpa and tish and bloob
has fleet of a good soaking
season followed by showers
until frost. That is all man
want on a crop "a good soak
ing season followed by show
ers.
We bough more fish this
year than we have us9d, as
there was less ammoniate
goods sold this year than usu-
al. So We have a surplus of fish
on hand to use in this side
dressing The fish may clog up
your distributor every now and
then but you will loose no time

open FOR explanations that may pain
ate evil. a mistake is not lie, and
eccentricity Is not sin. Cultivate the
grace Of forgetfulness for all wrongs

so make memory fount Of joy and

A man basely slandered showed such

to explain himself by saying, Il am
so glad it IS not true!" Learn from

in stopping to clean it out,
because you will make better
crops by your fertilizer having
fish in it.
You don't loose any time by
stopping during the working
season Of a crop to have your
plow sharpened, because you
can do so much better work
after you get them back from
the shop.
1t is just the same way with
this fish business, Cleaning fish
bones out of your ghano dist
ributor is time well spen bee
ause it gaurauteesfish in your
fertilizer, and that mighty
nearly guarantees a good crop
Apply this side-dressng early
and often. One of the best if
not the best farmers in the
state fertilizers his crop every
time he cultivates il. In 1906
he made 8o4 pounds of lint
cotton to the acre. We don't
know what he made last year.
Any ginner who mas ever kept
alb on it will tsll you that 800
pounds of seed cotton that has
been side-drrssed will turn out
as heavy a bale of cotton at
1900 pounds of seed cotton
that has not been slde-dressed
We were told that last Fall by
a ginner and we took up the
mattea with other glnncrs and
every ma, OF them who inves-
tlgated it agreed 10 it. The
side-dressing develops the ljnt
and makes more Of it. This
excess Of lent on the seed will
more than pay for fertilizer.
This promiers to be a good
year to make all the cotton,
cotton seed, forage ond every
other crop possible, as indlca-
tons are now that all these will
be in demanc at good prices.
for it looks now as if there
isn't goeing to ce any bumper
crops of any kind this year,
and We mutually expect good
prices and you all know how
