RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY.

Do not waste twice as much
nerve force and energy fighting
against your destiny as would be
required to bear it patiently. :
Courage based upon knowledge
is a valuable asset.
Real problems arr SO abundant
that we should not draw on the i'm
aginary.
We should not punish the world
in general by whining over and
magnifying all the troubles We
ever had OF expect to have.
The virtue of neatness when car
ried to excess dehes family com
fort and banishes the angel Of
peace from the home.

would like to know more about an

take pains to plan your course of
reading carefully you may in a few
months spare time accomplish a
great deal.
Suppose, for example, that you
are principally interested in birds.
There are enough books, maya

No industry is 50 vital to the
vell-being of a nation as axricul-
ture, and nothing is SO vital to
agriculture as the soil. From its
treasury It has been estiEated that
we drew during the past year more
than &,2o6yooo,oo and its posi-
bifties are as yet only partially
realized. There are still in this
country millions of acres which
have never felt the pillow, while
those which are now under cult
Walton can, by the application Of
scientific principles. be made to
produce many times the present
value Of their products. How to
use and not abuse this great re-
source is the most important prob
lem which faces the farmer Of to-
day-one worthy Of the best ef-
/: forts Of oar most profound and
Learned scientists, for upon its So
luton depends the future prosper
,ity OF the nation.
The old idea Of sod inyestiga-
'tion was to collect samples, exam
inc them in the laboratory, and
see what differences could there be
determined; the newer idea is to
study the characteristics and prop
critics of soils in the field, classify
them according to obvious differ
ences, and, with this information
IN hand, use the laboratory as =
naeans of ascertaining the cause OF
such variations as cannot be de-
termined in the field. This meth
cd IF attacking soil problems is
the reverse of the usual practice,
but because of the great difficulty
in duplicating field conditions, it is
believed that a field examination
should preoede laboratory studies
The field observations can thus BIZ
used as a check upon laboratory
investigation and as an aid in theil
, interpretation. Field studies fur.

with which to keep the laboratory

NO TRADING WITH MINORITY
QUESTION COMES UP TONIGHT

Washington. Aug l4.-President
Wilson today Informed Democratic
senator's that he is unalterably OPP
posed To any recess Of the Senate be-
tween the time the tariff bin is passed
and the currency bill is taken up. The
president believes il is the duty of the
Democratic party To dispose of the
tariff ana currency bills i'm the present
session, so the December session may
promptly take up antitrust and other
important legislation carrying out
platform pledges.
The president took a strong position
on the question Of legislative agree
ments between Democrats and Repub-
licans In Congress. He believes the
Democrats as the dominant party
should proceed with determination and
not trade with the minority. The fact
formally agreed To speed up the con-
sideratior of the tariff bill If Il recess
is assured after it's passage, prompted
the president to urge that the bust
ness Of the country demanded early ac-
tion on the tariff regardless of whether
any vacation or recess is promised in
return.
To Take Up Question at Caucus.
The Democratic senator's were paus-
ing on the recess proposal at the time
the presidents views were being made
known. The caucus adjourned until
tonight without getting to the ques-
tiun. because of the early meeting Of
the Senate and because the time was
consumed in the discussion of Kerns
