Natures Hint to Farmers.

Everybody has noticed that the year

place the grass will be the brightest
green. rank and luxuriant. But not
every body takes the hint and supplies
his land around that little green cpot
with potash and lime in some form.
That's what the fire in the brush heap
has done. though. Nature gives us a
suggestion of what good farming is in
that way. We will be wise to act upon
it.-Farm and Fireside.

lIoL hoLa
faith q John V. A..
s'The fact of faith Loose thinking
and right living are not often found
together. Our actions are invariably
inspired by u beliefs. The unusual
progress of the early church. in the
face of bitterest opposition, can be ex-
planned by their faith in a full Christ.
They believed that Jesus Is the Son of
God. the Saviour of the world, the Re-
yealer of the Father, the Bringer of
eternal life, the risen and reigning
King of the ages. This faith strength
ened them. and they overcame the
world. which fittingly symbolized all
that was opposed to God and goodness.
Faith is the sense of God. 1t is the
conviction that the spiritual is SUI
premely real. It is the experience OF
eternal actualities.
Ancestors of nations" We must
not expect to find a high standard Of
truth in those early days before Christ,
but even then the perils of dishonesty
and treachery were recognized, and
the guilty party was punished. This
happened to Jacob, as it lid also to his
sons, when they tried to defy the rights
of conscience, which is the voice OF
God exhorting people to be true to
their light. Relate the circumstances

is what might be termed a
batologist. Several years ago
his observation of bats as insect de-
stroyers suggested TO him that they
might be put to practical use in de
stroying mosquitoes. A series OF ex-
periments convinced him.
He is now planning to make. under
the auspices of the Louisiana authori-
ties, tests in the mosquito districts OF
the state similar to those he has made
successfully in the vicinity of San An
tonic. DR.. Campbell had a conference
with Governor Hall of Louisiana on
the subject. and the mosquito commits
sion recently created by the Louisiana
legislature went TO San Antonio to in
spect the method of operation.
The so called day mosquitoes in the
south are known to be noninfectious.
while the mosquitoes that fly by night
carry malaria and other fever germs.
Bats do all their flying by night. and
the mosquitoes they feed upon are b
ones which breed sickness.
DIR. Campbell began his experiments
about five years e in the Mitchells
lake district. near San Antonio, which
was infested at that time with hordes
of the little insects. He erected bat
roosts and stocked them. In a short
time the decrease of mosquitoes in that
locality began to be noticeable, and
finally they were eradicated.
The main bat roost is on the shore
of the lake, ten miles south of town.
The roost is set on four posts about
ten feet high. The structure itself is
about twenty feet high, pyramidal In
form, twelve feet square at the base
and six feet at the apex. The walls
are Slated so as to permit the free
entrance and exit of the bats. The in
terror is fitted with wire netting, in
which the animals hang.
DR.. Campbell has found that n bat
will get away with about 260 mos
quitoes in a night. As the roost &C
commodities 100000 bats, it means a
total Of approximately 260, 900, 900 mos
quitoes nightly.

against the rules of my party,
and I felt mighty uneasy about it
at first. But my fear gradually
wore away, and | actually began
to enjoy using my head for some
thing besides a peg to hang my
hat on.
It didn't take long for me to
discover that neither the Re-
publican nor Democratic party
was the poor mans friend. To be
sure, they both claimed to be,
but | had positive proof that they
were both liars.
For several years after that

between now and January 9Th,

that I will enlarge the paper to

with the January number.
And as an extra inducement, to

as the boss said vote.
But every time | did it felt
as mean as if I had been caught
stealing a sheep.
It went on that way till the
campaign of 1912, when the big
split came. When Toothadore
Specksvelt crawled out from un-
der the steam roller and launched
his Bull Moose party | cast long
ing eyes toward it, thinking
perhaps that was my chance to
make an honorable escape from
the sinking ship Of Republican
ism.
During these years Socialism
had been a live topic, and there
was no use denying that it looked
pretty good to me.
But when Toothadore Specks-
welt deliberately walked over and
stole all the best things of Social
ism for his new party, I wonder
ed if that wouldn't do me just
as we'll as any.
So there I stood midway be-
tween Socialism and Bullmoose-
, ism, looking first at one and then
!, at the other, and not able to
choose between them.
The honest truth is, I have
tried to maintain a sort of half
!! hearted loyalty to both. while
waiting for further developments.
Well, honey, the develop
: ments' have come. Guess you've
noticed how the Elephant and the
| Bull Moose are making goo-goo
eyes at each other. Next thing
you know they will lock arms
and march up to old Jim Gibbons
or some other Roman Catholic tin
? god and get married. Twelve
months ago you couldn't have
made me believe that would ever
happen, but now the matter don't
, need discussing at all. The bosses
have done got it all fixed up, and
the lickspittles are just waiting
to hear the command.
So you see if there was ever
any chance Of me being a Bull
mooser, that chance is gone. By
the process of elimination my
choice is narrowed down to one
party, and that is the Socialist
y party. My progress toward it has
:, been sorter slow, but I have got
there at last.
y Dol think Socialism is perfecte
n Heavens, no! Not by q horn
) full.
VI But it is the best thing in sight
for a poor man who is LOOKING
o out for his own interests and the
interests of his fellow-sufferers.

e got any cussing to do, just cuss
away! You shan't be noticed.

the paper. | have good reason to
believe that you are all interest
ed in this enterprise, and that
you like to hear how ! am getting
along. From the very beginning
I have made an effort to be

these little personal talks. | have

Is, 900 people, most of whom are
glad to do me a little faver when
ever they can. It is this feeling Of
close personal friendship with my
readers that / so much appreciate.
With this issue The Fool Killer
rounds out it's fourth year of
existence, having been started in
January, 1910. During these four
years I have done a heap of hard
work and have been up against
some pretty tough propositions.
But the loyalty Of my friends has
enabled me to overcome most Of
the difficulties and win a fair
measure of success. Those Doubt
ing Thomases who in the early
days called me a fool for starting
such a paper are now wondering
why they didn't think about
starting it themselves.
And so it goes. I am exceed
ingly thankful, dear comrades,
for what you have helped me to
do, and right here is a good place
to outline a few more Of my
hopes and plans. For instance:
Believing that The Fool-Killer
has just now reached the point
where it can begin to grow in
good earnest, I am laying my
plans for the coming year on a
much larger and broader scale
than ever before. Some of my
old-year plans didn't fully ma
terialize, and these I shall con-
tinue to push, together with
others that are born of the larger
needs of a growing business.
One of my plans is to enlarge
the paper to double it's present
size, and give it to you at the
same old price. So many people
complain about it looking so little
and dinky. With a large six
column page it would make
better impression on those who
see it for the first time, and i
would be twice as easy to ge
subscribers as it is now. Then
too, I could give as much as on
