]. BELL KILLED
A SNOW GOOSE
BIRD is FIRST OF THE KIND EVER
SEEN IN THIS SECTION AND
LARGEST BIRD EVER KILLED
HERE, MEASURING SIX FEET, 10
INCHES, FROM TIP TO TIP.

Young John Bell has the distinction
of bringing down the largest wild goose
that has probably ever been killed in
this section. It is also the only pure
white goose that Pensacola sportsnaen
recall having ever seen.
The bird measures feet, 10 inches,
from tip to tip of its wings and its
down and feathers are pure white.
Young Bell killed it Thanksgiving day
just west of Molino, where the goose
had aHghted in a pond of water.
A good deal Of speculation was in
dulged in yesterday, as to whether or
not the bird was really a goose. Some
pronounced it brant, but, while there
are white brant, the most of this spe-
cies of brant are heavily marked with
black and they seldom if ever attain
the size of this bird. Brant are, in
fact, considerably smaller than geese.
This bird is probably what is known
as a Snow goose" and its natural
habitat is in northern, or arctic, Cana
da, though with most of the other
kinds of Canadian geese it usually flies
south in the winter time, but seldom
reaches this section of the gulf coast.

and frequently require very large
amount of ground limestone to cor
rect the aciGity.
In addition to the fact that most of
our soils are naturally acid, this condi-
ticn is intensified by some of our fer
t1lizers. especially where large
amounts of sulphate of ammonia are
used. When such materials are broken
up, as they are in the process of being
made available to plants, the acid rad
ical is left in the soil. This fact was
brought out in our experimental citrus
grove and noted in our nnual Report.
How to Test For Soil Acdity
Soil may be tested readily for aci-
dity. This can best be done in the
field. Procure strips of litmus paper
from the drug store, of both kinds.
pink and blue. In using this litmus
paper care should be taken that the
fingers do not touch it, since the per-
SEPARATION from the hands is usually
acid enough to turn the blue to pink,
and in testing soil after the paper has
been handled a false reaction might
accur. The soil to be tested must
not be too dry. A small amount of
soil may be taken UP, and if it can be
pressed into a good ball 1t usually
contains enough moisture to show the
reaction. Break the ball of soil open
end place two strips of paper (blue and
pink in the break. then press tightly
together again. In the course of ten
minutes examine, and if the paper has
been thoroughly wetted the condition
of the soil may be noted. II the blue
litmus paper has turned pink the soil
is acid. If the pink paper has turned
blue the soil is alkaline. If no change
In color occurs the soil is neutral. The
degree of acIdity can be told in a gen
eral way by the degree of pinkness if
the paper was formerly blue The
subsoil as well as the soil should be
tested.

A National Labor
Exchange Is Needed.

In the December American Maya
zine, Ida NJ. Tarbell writes an article
entitled keeping Men at Work" She
shows how the principles of scientific
anagement can prevent the closing
down of factories and shops in critical
times. and she cites specific instances
of employers who have worked out
these principles successfully, She says
that we also ought to have CO. opera
tive employment bureaus and at the
same time develop such a cooperation
between cities and country so that the
labor market would be under entire
control In respect to what Germany
has done along these lines she says:
For over twenty years Germany
has been handling her laboring men
and women in this intelligent and hu-
name fashion. Each state in the en-
pire has fifty or more labor exchanges.
Each capital city has an exchange
which acts a a clearing house for the
provincial exchanges. Between these
labor clearing houses in the capital
cities there is a steady flow of com
munication. If a man cannot be placed
in his own city he may be in another:
if not in his state then in another.
Work is found for him. A million or
more men and women are placed every
year by this organization. 1t is one
of the many admirable ways in which
Germany has been preserving and
training men that when the time came
she might have them for the slaughter
she planned
The experience Of the past year or
two has emphasized the need of a
practical method for obviat1ng the
hardships that come to the working
men with the advent of hard times"
Much has been accomplished by organi-
cations in various cities, but there is
will act as a controlling force in the
labor market. 1t frequently occurs
that, while heavy demand for labor
exists in one section Of the country,
there is a dearth of work in another
section and a national labor exchange
would unquestionably be of great bene-
fit in equalizing the demand and
supply.
The Journal has advocated such an
institution for years, and there is no !
reason why the post Office department |
should not establish it. The postal |
service penetrates to every precinct |
of the nation and the department could |
with ease and efficiency operate just |

which the "call to arms from the

The first meeting of the league was
called a week ago at which approx

| meeting a committee of ten, with
Judge Fesler as chairman, was ap-
pointed to make suggestions and
draw plans for the furture organiza-
ton. ..a, *.-
It was recommended by this spe-
cial committee that an effort be made
to organize a campaign committee Of
100 with authority to choose a presi-
dent several vice presidents who shall
be in various parts Of the city and
| make other necessary arrangements.
At the meeting called at the head
quarters in the Phoenix block last
Saturday evening it was announced
that ex-alderman Chris Evans would
act as president during the present
campaign.
Arrangements have been practical
ly completed to carry on a consistent
campaign Of education among tho
voters Of Duluth. ~
Tuesday evening an informal meet
ing was held at which the original
