LIVING BEYOND MEANS.
A Reckless Habit Showing Evil
Results to individuals and
GOyernmpntS

The optimistic, rather reck-
less, habit of living beyond the
means in hand is showing evil
results not only in the case of
numerous individuals these
days, bpt also in the case of
governments as well. Through
out Christendom governments
of all grades are steadily heap
ing up debts. Only today we
note that our sister state on the
north has a deficit to be met
only by bonds. Many cities are
today loaded to the limit with
debt. The great powers of Eu-
rope are all so tremendously in
debt that the annual interest
charge is an enormous sum.
AS public debt increases it
means, in effect, the continuous
increase of a bond-holding class
in the community, who can sit
back and draw tribute from a
continually decreasing proper
tion of the people. Warning
voices are now being raised here
and there against the steady in
crease of this great discount
upon the future, this piling up
of interest-bearing debt with
out real effort to pay much of
the principal off.
Such things can go on for a
long time, but a limit is reached
sooner or later, and then the
forcible readiustment gives So
ciety fearful wrench. So
many eXpedients now exist for
utilizing credit that the whole
civilized world, individually and
collectively, seems about to go
daft on the business of presum-
ing on future resources to get
present wants fulfilled. 1t man
ifeSts a kind of impatience of
restraint that does not promise
well for the future. Somebody
is going to suffer some day.
And all the while it is ques-
tion whether, in the long run,
we actually gain by the impa-
tient process of forever mort
gaging the future with inter
est at so much per cent always)
inthe interest of the present.

HOW TO GET FULL VALUE
OF FERTILIZERS USED

1t is well known that the
plants take in their food
through their roots in solution
or dissolved in the soil water
Any practical farmer also
knows that given just the right
amount of moisture-neither
too little nor too much-al-
most all soils will produce well.
A soil well filled with decaying
organic matter will hold much
more moisture than one de-
ficient in organic matter. In
holding the water it holds the
plant foods dissolved in the wa
ter, and, consequently it not
only holds more water to dis
solve plant foods to feed the
plants, but prevents the leach
ing and wasting of plant foods.
Soils filled with decaying or
ganic matter, therefore, main
tain better moisture conditions
for the dissolving of the plant
foods in commercial fertilizers.
This is why commercial fertil-
lzerS may be economically used
in larger quantities or give bet
ter results on good soils than on
poor soils. Good soils are good
because they contain large
quantities of decaying organic
matter and this enables them to
hold the water necessary to dis
solve the plant foods if com
mercial fertilizer be applied; if
the soil is deficient in organic
matter it soon becomes def
cient in water in dry weather,
and in wet weather the plant
foods are dissolved and quickly
leached from the soil. Right
moisture conditions are essen
tlal to the best results from
commercial fertilizers and right
moisture conditions are depen-
dent on the supply of decaying
organic matter in the soil

Farmer.

An Ideal Wife.

In reply to the query, What
constitutes the ideal woman for
a wife" which he sent broad
cast among the young men of
Hanford, California, the Rev.
w. G. Loomis, pastor of the
First Methodist church of that
city, received more than a score
of descriptions, but he considers
the following the best of all:
"The ideal woman for a wife
should have these qualifica-
tions: The voice of Melba, the
talent of Paderewski, the figure
of Venus, the grace OF a sylph,
the vivacity of a coryphee, eyes
like the soft glow of a moon
light eve, an alabasterlike COM
pleXiOn, the virtues of nun.
the charm of Cleopatra, the
meekness of Moses, the pa
tience of Job, the forebearnce
of Lazarus, the zeal of Trojan,
the constancy of Caesars wife,
the capabilities of a charwoman,
the purse of Hetty Green and
hair of her own"

Sense in Short Sentences.

Why should a true and sim
cere appreciation be termed
tiattery, and degraded to the
level of insincere praise?
Too much of the teaching of
today is book learning, and too
little of it is education.
Most people speculate because
they Il elieve that there are big
ger tco-s than themselves who
will draw the blands.
When q woman wants to get
rid of housekeeping she pre-
tends to have nervous prestra-
ton.
The smarter a man is about
some things the less he knows
about others.
Chance may lead to the
buried treasure, but it takes a
lot of hard digging to get it out.

THE FORWARD-LOoKING MEN

The forward-looking men are those
Around whose heads the music flows
OF marching winds and swinging
stars;
Their heavy tread the green earth
Jars,
Their eyes are on the hills, they seek
The glory Of the golden peak;
They are tho men OF vision. who
Wake with the lark and walk the
dew,
And leading upward to the light
Go forward to the dreams of right.
The forward-looking men have
Strcwn
The prairies with their bones; have
hewn
Tie roadways through the forests
where
Great cities stand today, that fare
The thunder of their thousand mills
Against the echo of the hills,
And in it tell the tale again
OF how the forward-looking men
Lead on and built and help us see
Beyond the mists of destiny.
The foTward-lOoking men stand out
In the broad light to stay the doubt.
Fire the fresh blood of youth with
fire
OF limIJless and grand desire;
They are the lifters of the load;
They are the finders of the road:
They are the members who make
sweet
The rugged way beneath men s feet;
Columbus was of such-all these
Balboa, and the grave Cortez.
The forwaTd-looking men have eyes
over the dust that hides the skies
Theirs is the vision that can pierce
The unknown future, take the fierce,
Iron blows Of fate, and still toll on
Firm in their faith that there shall
dawn
4 greater hope, a finer fate
Than men have dared to penetrate,
or that men know until they try
The dreams, the deeds, for which
men die.

A LAND OF ROMANCE

Spain is your country for ro-
nance. All the romance of the
east washed up there on the
red shores. Today the Berbers
in the African mountains and
the naughty bronzed men of
Morocco yet strain eyes across
the blue strait yet hang above
each household hearth, be-
sides the polished guns and the
crooked swords, the key of an
ancestral garden where, white
Cordova steams in the plain, or
of crumbling palace where
taWnY Granada hangs on the
green hillside below the SHOWS.
All the romantics of the west
have turned to look across the
PyreneeS; have marched and
countermarched with Charlie
magne past Pampeluna, down
the wide basin of the milky
EbrO as far as Saragossa, and
back through the broad noun
tain pass of ROncevauX; or
tramped the pilgrimage into
Galicia, to the shrine of Santi-
ago. The starry way of Saint
James lies right across the sky ;
and the road below it runs in
past Saint Giles, glittering
among the marshes, past the
Abbey Of Monissac, fallen from
its high estate, past Puenta la
Reina, where the queen long
dead built the pilgrims a bridge,
westward and ever westward to
Compostella. You cannot miss
the way.
1t is a land of magic. and
who shall say that it is not
black magic? Old-fashioned
travellers still urge that YOU

POSTPONE DATE
SPECIAL SESSION
Underwood Thinks Tariff Bills
Will Not be Ready by April
1-PreSSure For Action.

Washington, March 12.-
President Wilson has decided
upon a policy of meeting legis-
lative developments as they
arise rather than planning a
program for the extraordinary
session of Congress. This, it
was learned from White House
callers today, will be the Presi-
dents answer to those who are
urging that currency legisla-
tion, Philippine independence,
Alaskan questions, and other
subjects, be taken up during the
session of the new Congress.
The President was advised by
Representative Oscar Under
wood, the Democratic majority
leader, as to the status of the
tariff bills being prepared by
the ways and means committee.
He learned that the committee
was making rapid progress but
that it might not be ready April
/, the date originally fixed for
the opening of the new Con-
gress. Mr.. Underwood thought
at least week more should be
given to preparation and as it
was on Mr.. Underwood's advice
that Mr.. Wilson fixed upon
April l, there is no doubt that
he will name a later date when
issuing his proclamation.
TARIFF REFORM ALONE.
Representative Underwood
has been of the belief that tariff
reform alone should be attempt
ed at the coming session. AS he
left the White House, Repre-
sentative Jones of Virginia, who
is championing the cause of
Philippine independence, met
him and sought to impress up
on him the necessity of some
action on that question during
the extra session. Mr.. Jones
secured an appointment with
the President for Friday. when
he will further urge Philippine
legislation.
The net result of pressure for
action on subjects other than
tariff has been the adoption of
a policy of meeting the legisla-
tive situation as it unfolds in
the new Congress. The Presi-
dent will send first a message
pointing out the necessity for
tariff revision and will follow
this with a series of messages
upon specific things which he
believes Congress may be able
to act upon without unneces-
sarily prolonging the session.
This course is said to have been
approved at today's cabinet
meeting.
The suggestion that only tar
itf revision be attempted at the
coming session arose from the
fear that other subjects might
cloud and interfere with the
tariff question. Assurances
have been coming, however,
from various quarters, princi-
pally the senate, that the antici-
pated difficulty with the tariff
may not materialiZe after all.
The reorganization of the SEN
ate with control of the commit
tees in the hands of senators
who are in close sympathy with
the administration is said to be
one of the circumstances from
which the conclusion has been
drawn that the tariff as well as
other questions may be dispos-
ed Of without great difficulty.
