Every community ought to exem-
plify the enterprise and energy OF its
most progressive citizens. The wide
awake citizen ought to sec the inn
portance of devOting a share of his
time to the public service in aid OF
his community.
Public spirit characterizes the
modern successful business man. He
realizes that he is indebted to the
community in which he has attained
his success, and that the best and
most practical method of meeting
his obligation to the community is
20 take an active interest in cOmmu-
nifty affairs.
Activities of the disreputable ele-
ments in any community are in in
verse proportion to the indifference
of the respectable citizens. The eff
feet of good example is salutary in
] the community as well as the family

William H. Taft is no crouch. He
left the white house with a smile
and no bitterness in his heart toward
any one. His philosophy of life has
taught that it is not worth while har-
boring resentments. He holds to the
view that if a friend proves false or
if an enemy goes too far in attack
the thing to do is to let the matter
pass when the fight is over. He does
not intend to eat out his heart over
what he may consider unfair treat
ment.

The most useful body in the heay-
ems is the Sun. 1t keeps the world
out of continual darkness. 1t radi-
ates its greatest gift-Light. Also it
radiates its heat-keeps this old
earth warm. Take a lesson from the
sun
Radiate your influence.
Make it worth radiating. For it
will radiate whether you want it to
or not. No man can run away from
his own character Radiate it to
your friends. Radiate it to your Of
flee helpers. Radiate it in your pub
lie position. Radiate it through your
own approval, and take to heart the
resp possibility that gives you the
chance to make your influence.
Radiate your smiles.
For smiles and cheer are the great
est stimulators in the world. You
don't have to speak to radiate smiles
and cheer. They shoot their rays Of
warmth and healing and encourage
ment from the very lines of your
face and the very movements of your
body
Radiate your knowledge.
Do it to high purpose. knowledge
kept is of no value whatever. The
only knowledge worth having is what
you give away. The only knowledge
you can possibly get is what other
men and women have left for you
to take. What knowledge you get
radiate.
Radiate your money.
Earn il honestly and well. Then
radiaate it to useful ends. Divide it
with the faithful workers who help
you make it,. Money is a most use
less thing in itself. Its total value
lies in what it radiates in helpful
enterprises and noble works.
Radiate your success.
There is nothing so stimulating,
to real winner, as to hand out the
secrets and formulas of success that
he has learned. Nature works in rO-
tation. So does a mans success.
What is yours today is the other fell
lows tomorrow. Your service is to
keep the law-to radiate today what
came to you yesterday. For the whole
rule of life and success is to radiate.

Improvement In Fer

1t was natural that under the di-

Every improvement that would
better the fertilizers was adopted.

Spot i'm Colorado Where Cliff Dwell

Nothing could be more impressive
than a tourists first view of the 81

such as may be seen at Mesa Verde
National Park in Southwestern Col
orado The dwarf timber which is so
dense that it deadens all sound, has
killed the thud of the guides axe,
and there is not even coyote call to
dispossess the Mesa Verde of its sub
title, The Land of Silence. 1t is as
though the inhabitants of that
strange house under yonder cliff took
every living thing with them when
they fed from the mesa where they
had dwelt so many ages. Generally,
the tourists forgot all their Weari-

The restoration of Spruce Tree

added to their impressive qualities.
One can wander the whole length of
the great communal dwelling places,

This house is PIG feet long, and so
deep is the great rock cave in which
it is built that at its widest point the

Spruce Tree House sheltered between
$50 and 400 people, or about 100
more than Walpi, one of the modern

house DR.. Fewkes, of the govern

was able to make a fair collection
of pottery and Implements despite
the fact that the ruin had been thro-

those who preceded him. All the du-

LNFL UENCE AND EXAMPLE.

Moreover, when the citizens of
wide infuence-the bankers and
merchants-take active part in COM
munity development the less infiu-
entail are easily induced to do like
wise, for they can be made to see
that their aid and influence are i'm
portant. Though their sphere of in
f1uence is less extensive their voice
and example are potent, perhaps
more so, than their more prosperous
neighbors would be in the same
| sphere.
No ones interests are too small
to warrant engaging in the work OF
community building. The great
strength of the American army is
said to be due to the fact that each
soldier is an officer. So when each
| and every citizen is working in com
munity building nothing can long
retard its progress.

Running LAND WITH NITRATE?

From the Triton Gazette.
Because they feel that they are
being held up by the fertilizer deal
ers of the state some of the South
Carolina farmers are determining
not to use any nitrate of soda on
their crops until the price is reduced.
In speaking of the matter the pres
fdent of the Farmers Union says:
Our people have used nitrate ill
advisedIy, have depended on it until
they are running their lands and such
hold-up prices are a blessing if they
will profit by the lesson"

HE WAS SOME RUNNER!
Old-Time Performer who Made Pres
ent-Day Feats Look insignificant.

SAAt@DtAJ 1N<AtS HUN
Have you ever heard of Ernest
Mensen? Sixty years ago his re-
nOwn spread all over Europe. His
exploits made the pedestrian feats
of the present day look insignificant.
He was a man who first came I'M
der notice by running from Paris to
Moscow, a distance of / ,760 miles, in
13 days and IS hours. In 1886 he
ran through Central Asia from Cal
cutta to Constantinople bearing dis
patches for the East India Company.
The distance was 5 1915 miles, and
he accomplished it in 80 days, one
third of the time taken by the swift
est caravan. A favorite employment
for him was as the messenger extra
ordinary of sovereigns. He ran from
country to country bearing letters
and dispatches of the highest import
ance, and always beating mounted
cOuriers matched against him. He
never walked Invariably he took
the direct route to his destination,
climbing mountains, swimming riv-
ers and guiding himself through for
ests in a way known only to him
self. His food was a small quantity
Of raspberry syrup.

Another source Of Nitrogen that
could not be washed out of the
soil was one of our adoptions.
We emplyed forms of Phosphor-
ic Acid that would feed the plant
throughout the growth.
There were certain crops that
required an abundance of Potash.
Supplied in one form it would
largely increase the yield. In an
other form it's effects were highly
injurious.
So in each element that fertilizer
makers use We sought to make an
improvement. We sought to cor
rect every fault.
Practical men have brought to
the mixing of A. A. G. Fertilizers
a wealth of experience.
They have studied the needs of
every Southern crop-the peculiar
tiles of every type of soil. Wher-
ever A. A. G. Fertilizers are used
bigger yields of cotton, corn and
tobacco have been the telling effect
of their work.
Men of lesser experience could
never know all of the things these
men have discovered.
DRY MIXED OR HOME MIXED
FERTILIZERS LACK THE PROP
ERTIES OF THESE CHEMICAL
LY MIXED BRANDS. Mere anal
ysis does not show the superior
value of A. A. G. Fertilizer.
For analysis only shows the
amount of plant foods contained.
1t cannot show the forms in which
the plant foods exist.
Fertilizer with Nitrogen in only
single form would seem the same
from analysis.
The fertilizer business is our on
ly business. The farmers inter
ests are our interests. Our sales
are dependent upon his crops.

VINCENTIANS
Throughout World 60 Hon
or Frederic Ozanun's
Memory.

The movement for the celebration
on April 23 next of the centenary OF
Frederic Ozanum is becoming gen.
eral on the Continent. In Milan,
where he was born, a special commit
tee which has been appointed to
promote IL, has decided to bring out
a cheap edition of his life, and in
Paris, where through his activity and
his fearless devotion to the faith his
influence became so powerful for
good. the Catholics are taking steps
to make the commemoration worthy
of the man. The English-speaking
people are about to enter into rivalry
with the foreigners in paying tri-
butes to Ozanum's memory. Nothing
could be better than that adopted at
Milan for making his life better
known and the stimulus of his ex-
ample more widely felt by the rising
generation should be initiated by his
admirers. The world needs today as
it did in his lifetime lay apostles
governed by the spirit that animated
him. Too often there is ground now
for saying what was said to those
around him before he founded the
Society of st. Vincent de Paul, "You
are full of talk and theory, but there
it ends" Ozanum was no mere
theorist. He was essentially practi-
cal and was ready to make any sacri-
flee in order that Catholic ideals
might be realized

some lively arguments arise when
you chance to ".butt in" against
strong partisans of eminent nobodies
who seem to retain lot OF insignifi-
cant people up and down the country
to give tongue TO their praise. Most
people here, however, believe that
the following names figure on the
