The wings of her fancy kept beat

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM.

History is filled with examples of
noble sacrifices made for human lib
erty and human progress. Our own
halls of fame bear testimony to the
existence of that spirit of patriotism
and self-sacrifice which has manifest
ed itself in times of great public need.
But patriotism-love of country-like
religion, is for everyday use and is
not reserved for great crises only.
Community development is only an
other term for patriotism. If the
rural communities of the United
States are preserved, built up and
made attractive, the nation is safe.

COURT DECISIONS AMI, PAPER
SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Few readers of newspapers fully
and clearly understand the laws gov
erning subscriptions. Following are
the decisions of the supreme court
of the United States upon the sub
ject:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered
as wishing to renew their subscrip-
tions.
If subscribers order discontinue
ance of their periodicals the publish
er may continue to send them until
all dues are paid.
If the subscriber refuses to take
the periodicals from the postoffice to
which they are directed, he is respon-
sible until he has settled his bill and
ordered the paper discontinued.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former ad-
dress, the subscriber is held respon-
sible.
The courts have held that refusing
to take periodicals from the postoffice,
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for is prima facie evidence of inten-
tion to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end
of the time if they do not wish to
continue taking it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it, and
the subscriber will be responsible until
express notice with payment of all
arraarapes is gent tn the nuhlishar

The Washington state rancher who
visited Denver and lost $4,000 on a
fake horse race by the old wire tap
ping system, is not to be pitied. He
is said to be worth 100000 and the
wonder is that such an easy sucker
ever accumulated the $25,00O lost.
The rancher was going to fake some
one out of the money, hence honest
motives we're never thought of. Served
him right.

Worldly.
Do not know her name; perhaps you
do. have never seen her face; may
be her picture hangs on your bed
room wall.
By some strange chance her head
might some day have rested on your
shoulders. She's somebody's daugh-
ter; pray God, not yours.
Tonight the claws of the city are
ripping at her soul. Loneliness and
hunger have sapped her will and false
pride has blinded her.
She is not bad girl, just tired, numb.
The dice were loaded. The game was
crooked. The odds were too great for
her wisdom and strength. The road
was strange and the guide posts lied.
Backbone life was drab thing
and sober-faced. The petty tyrannies
OF the little town, the eternal same
ness of the years, starved her imagi-
nation.
Romance was hungry within her and
cried for beauty and mystery and ad-
venture. And out of deprivation
sprang reckless yearning.
You did not understand, mother-of-
hers, wherever you are. You could
not see with her eyes. Your own
we're filed with pictures of family
wash and cooking and mending and
brooms and dust cloths.

LIME AND ITS USES

The misunderstanding of the true re-
lation of lime TO soil fertility and crop
production has often brought the prac-
tice of lining into undeseryed i'll repute.
The truth is that lime, instead of being
only a'soil stimulant beneficial at first,
but exhaustivel, is quite the opposite.
Lime is soil constituent in two re-
spects-as plant food and as a neutral
izer of acids. Free acid is detrimental
to the growth of beneficial bacteria !;
hence the importance of having lime
enough in the soil to neutralize all acids
as fast as they are formed by the decay
of vegetable or mineral matter of sour
soils. There are two classes of chemical
compounds and bases-which have
the power of neutralizing the character
istic properties of each other. When a
base and an acid combine, the former loses
its power to combine with more acid.
Lime, therefore, which is already COM
bined with strong acid, has no power
to neutralize soil acidity. 70 this class
belong land plaster or gypsum and rock
phosphate, valuable in their way, but not
as correctives of sour soil. The best
compounds of lime for use in correcting
soil acidity are ground limestone, mari
and, shells. Water slaked and quicklime
