FERTILIZER SITUATION FOR 1915

Owing to the war in Europe, manu-
facturers of fertilizers having only a
small supply of potash on hand and no
prospect of getting any more as long
as the war lasts, have been compelled
to reduce the per cent of potash down
to 2 and 8 per cent of actual potash
on all brands of goods containing pot
ash. Some companies have increased
the supply Of phosphoric acid in these
goods from to 5 per cent more than
they formerly had in mixed goods,
which will help the farmer out to an
extent, especially the farmer that
makes good use of his manure and
other fertilizing material that he has
on his farm. Some farms may be ben
eftted by the use of lime. It would
be a good idea for every farmer to
make an experimental station on his
farm, so that he might find out what
the soil needs, and be better able tc
buy fertilizers adapted to that soil
One of the best friends the farmer has
is his land, and he is not treating it
right if he starves it to death.

SHIP EGGS BY PARCEL POST

At this time of the year when eggs
are scarce the demand greatly ex-
ceeds the supply of fresh (newly laid)
eggs. There are great many house
wives in towns and cities who would
be very glad indeed to make arrange
mems with farmers to receive a
stated supply Of newly laid eggs every
week or so and pay a little more for
such eggs than the regular market
price. The biggest objection to ship
ping eggs by parcel post at the pres
ent time is the cost of satisfactory
egg carriers. However, the difference
in price paid for newly laid eggs on
the farm and that ordinarily paid for
them in cities will more than pay for
the egg package and also the postage.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM THE
ORERLTN RTTSTNESS COLLECE

OBERLIN BUSINESS COLLEGE
The fall term Of the Oberlin Busi-
ness College closed last Friday and
the Winter Term will open Monday,
Jan. A, 1915.
This school is meeting with great
success again this year. With another
new building completed this is re-
garded as the best equipped school Of
its kind in Ohio.
1t is somewhat remarkable that,
during the dull times of recent months
caused by the War in Europe when
great numbers Of bookkeepers and
stenographers have lost positions,
that graduates Of the Oh Rim Bust
ness College have been able to find
employment. During the past few
weeks, graduates of this school have
accepted positions at Cleveland, De-
troit, Elyria, Gallon, Springfield, and
one or two other places.
For MANY years this school has been
noted for it's fine class of students
and for the thorough training offered
and it is this that makes the unusual
demand for 0. B. G. graduates, no
matter whether times are good or bad.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that young pc pie ambi-
tious for the greatest success go to
Oberlin in such latge numbers for
their business training. adv

sidewalks, and since there is an or
dinance which provides for the re-
moval of snow, ice or dirt from the
sidewalks of the Village by the Vii
lage Street Commissioner, and the ex-
pense Of the same will be charged
against the property to which the

tent that Santa Anna had been able
to wreck t." The official dispatches
arrived a day later.
Meantime Scott had been organic
ing the army with which he was to
march to the capital Of Mexico. The
investment of Vera Cruz was begun
by General Worth, with whom through
out the campaign Kendall was closely
associated. In IA days the Americans
were in the city Kendalls pen was
very busy. Thirteeninch shells from
the castle of San Juan de Ulloa were
bursting near him as he wrote his
message. He sent with his messages
typographical sketches Of the de-
lenses and the lines of investment,
and forwarded them by schooner and
cutter, sending duplicates by any YES
sci that might be leaving port.
The fighting resumed, Scott was
able after two severe actions to enter
the city. At the cluster Of some build
ings once used as a foundry Worth
fought the battle of Molino del Rey,
and in his dispatches he mentions
Kendall:
Il have to acknowledge my obliga-
tions to the gentlemen Of my staff,
who performed their duties with ac-
customed intelligence and bravery,
G. w. Kendall, Esq, of Louisiana, Cap
tain Wyse and Mr.. Hargous, army
agent, who came upon the field, vol
unteered their acceptable services, and
conducted themselves in the transmits
sion of orders with conspicuous gal
lantry."
Five days later the steep and rocky
hill with the heavy stone walled for
tress of Chapultepec was stormed, an
action in which Worth had a part,
with Kendall again on his STAFF. The
following day Scott made his formal
entry into the capital. Just before
fighting ceased Kendall for the first
time was wounded. He was struck in
the knee by a bullet and again Worth
mentioned him in his formal report,
saying:
Major Borland and G. w. Kendall,
volunteer aides-de-camp, the latter
wounded, each exhibited habitual gal,
lantry and intelligence and Devotion
What has been said indicates the
difficulties which newspaper men had
to overcome to reach their journals
with their packets Of news. From
three to five days was the ordinary
time between Point Isabel or Brazos
de Santiago and New Orleans, with
the news from the army Of General
Taylor; from five to seven days was
the time of the passage between Vera
Cruz and New Orleans with the It'd
ings from Scott
Other newspaper men served with
great credit in that war.
Returning to America this pioneer
war correspondent removed to Texas
and established himself upon q large

ABLE EXPERIMENTS
Or. Alexis Carrels Wonderful
Progress In Research.
Clever Physician Of Rockefeller lnstl.
tute Tells Of Keeping Cells Alive
Two and a Half Years out
Of the Body.

New York.-Dr. Alexis Carrel, OF
the Rockefeller Institute, has, from
time TO time, told of the progress Of
his experiments In keeping living tis-
sue alive in glass jars.
He describes some connective tissue
derived on January II, 1912, from the
heart Of a chicken embryo seven days
old, This is stlll living and growing,
though It is now two years and half
since it was taken from the chick
"The fragments OF heart pulsated
for 104 days and gave rise TO very
large number of connective tissue
cells, wrote Doctor Carrel. This means
that 1t not only lived but grew "These
cells multiplied actively during the
last two years." continued Carrel, "and
produced large amount OF connective
tissue. At present q great many cul-
lures are obtained from the strain ev-
cry week"
Doctor Carrel measures the growth OF
piece of this tissue by removing a
fragment from a culture, washing II
III ANihbpA holuNiouf pldNAlh ~ III q new
medium, and after As hours measuring
the ring Of new tissue that has formed
around IT, "The fragments Of tissue
he says, usually double in As hours"
The rate of growth varies with the me-
dium, but under favorable circum-
stances the ring Of new tissue has
grown from one-twelfth to one-tenth
Of an inch in As hours.
An extraordinary fact noted by Doctor
Carrel is that the amount Of new tis-
sue, produced by a given culture Of
This same strain today is almost double
the amount produced year ago. In
other words, this tissue is stronger
than It was originally.
Doctor Carrel compared the rate Of
growth OF this two-and-a-half-year-old
tissue with that of fresh tissue from
the heart of a chick embryo eight days

submarine which was a dream IN
1865, is owned by the navy of the
smallest power. 1t is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much in a real struggle, so
the larger navies of the great powers
have fleets Of submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession of all arm
les in Europe today, yet they, too, are
only expected to be of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeropane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used to limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by
Ithe present war.
1t is much the same with the Wire
less telegraph While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range Of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed, is a custom every day, to send
and receive messages from distance
Of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tions on this siGe of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes
The submarine was in existence in
1904, but it was a very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today Yet it's
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition Of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea, Great
Britain has 76 built, and is building 20

70 and is building 23 additional ones;
Russia has %, and is building Is;
while the United States has 30, and is
building 81; Austria has IS, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns 18, and is building two. Yet the
submarine is still an unknown guam
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said TO be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor in
deciding a naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time it has done nothing to prove its
NdlUEs IL W do bCilCNCN llldI lllb ulOl dl
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical ef-
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But it has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. It's crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re-
sort to the use of the periscope, which
emerges unostentatiously above the
water in order to see its own course.
1t is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part of
their boats.
The designers Of the submarine did
not count upon it being seen. 1t was
believed that it would go upon it's way,
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make q
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But 1t has been discovered that from
certain height an observer may trace
the course Of submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as if it was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.
