as If it were a policeman's insignia,
and was often heard reproving other
boys and girls for cruel treatment OF
dogs and cats.
One morning a woman Of the neigh

Everett's home, and going to the win
dow, was surprised to find Everett In
the act of tormenting the cat.

Rabbi Landman Tells of Woes They
are Having.
A searching indictment Of the op-
preston of the Jews of RumanisL, a
history Of 300 years of unremitted civ
il degradation, was delivered recently
before the Reform Congregation Kene-
seth Isral, by Rabbi Isaac Landman,
in sermon, entitled "a People With
out a Country" says a Philadelphia
exchange. Rabbi Landman set forth
in detail the long series Of acts by
which the Rumanian government has
withheld all rights to citizenship from
the Jews native to that country, re-
cited the successive failures of their
attempts to secure citizenship, and, in
conclusion, declared that the power Of
public opinion, expressed by all ma
tions, alone would be able to solve
this goth century anachonism, of a
people native to the soil on which 1t
lives, yet without a country"
The treatment Of the Jews by Ru-
manian statesmen was denounced by
the speaker as "perfidy" and Studied
infamy" and, in addition to the refus-
al of the rights of citizenship to the

Conflicting Commands.-One Of the
bosses at Baldwin's locomotive works
had to lay off an argumentative Irish
man named Pat, so he saved discus
sion by putting the discharge in writ

but week later the boss was passing
through the shop and he saw Pat agair
at his lathe. Going up to the Irish
man, he demanded fiercely:
Didn't you get my letter."
"Yis, sur, Or did," said Pat.
Did you read it?"
Sure, sur, Oi read it inside and o.
read it outside" said Pat, "and on the
inside yez said was fired. and on the
outside yez said, Return to Baldwin

Maybe II Was.-Louis E Van Nor
man, associate editor Of the Review of
Reviews, recently returned from a va
cation in the Glacier National park.
While there he discovered an old timer
who was particularly bitter toward the
Piegan Indians. Il like the Sioux, and
the Apaches and the Crows" said this
old fellow. beating violently on the ta-
ole. Them Indians are gentlemen.
When they went on the warpath they
always took their blankets of, and all
yeu had to do was to run and hide.
But the Piegans! Mister, there amt
nothing as mean as a Piegan."
Next day Mr.. Van Norman asked
Bill Burns, a veteran Glacier park
guide, why the old man hated Piegans
so. We'll" said Mr.. Burns reflective
ly, "the old cuss married a Piegan
squaw. Mebbe it's race prejudice"

REAL FERTILIZER VALUES
Hints on How to Use Them are Being
Given by an Expert.

Given by an Expert.
There are owners Of small country
houses as we'll as farmers, who pur-
chase commercial fertilizers on the
cost basis rather than the actual plant
food value contained in the fertilizer
writes E. Kneeland in the Springfield
Republican. This foolish mistake, OF
course. is due to a lack of knowledge
Of the principles on which fertilizers
are mixed. Now, suppose we want to
buy fertilizer for early potatoes. The
shop clerk says this year he Is selling
a 4-S-10 brand, highly recommended
by the A. B. c. company. Well, what
does he mean? He means mixture
containing in every 100 pounds pei
cent nitrogen 8 per cent available phos-
phoric acid and 10 per cent potash
three plant food elements vitality nec-
essary to plant development. Remem-
Der the order given-nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash-is always the
same. Therefore to find the amount OF
nitrogen in a ton Of the mixture, mul-
tiply the four (Which Is 4 per cent OF
100 pounds, or 4 pounds) by twenty
there being twenty hundreds in ton
and the same with either Of the other
ingredients.
Thus we know how many pounds OF
different plant food elements are in
mixture, but we don't know in what
form the elements are. If we examine
fertilizer bag, we find on it an analy-
sis Of the mixture. Take a special corn
fertilizer for example: Nitrogen, 81
per cent; soluble phosphoric acid, 2.3
per cent; reverted phosphoric acid
sos per cent; insoluble acid, 400 pei
cent; potash, 6.7 per cent. From this
we can only gather there is 2.7 pei
cent nitrogen, and by adding together
the soluble and reverted phosphoric
acid-that is, the phosphoric acid
that can be taken up by the crop in its
early development. The insoluble only
becomes available after lying for a
long time in the soil. Finally the pot
ash Is simply stated as being the pro-
portion of 6.7 per cent.
This analysis is Of little value unless
we know in what form the different
elements are. AS an example, for
growing tomatoes, the nitrogen should
be in two forms, nitrate of soda, quick
ly soluble and Immediately available;
also in a form which will become
available gradually, such as cotton
seed meal. However, 1t Is simple
matter to write to the agricultural ex-
pertinent station telling the crops to
be grown and soil conditions (sandy,
loan, gravel or clay), and they will
reply giving plant food elements need
ed and proper proportions. With these
facts in hand, tell the local fertilizer
dealer your wants, and he will order a
brand whose formula corresponds to
the one given him.

Jews are liable to expulsion on IL to
"a hours notice. Being aliens without
protection, they have no redress
"Is there, then, no power in all the
world that can restore the Jews OF
Rumania to their God-given rights?'
asked Rabbi Landman in conclusion
"Is there then, no force in all the
world that can procure for this people
without country the protection OF
citizenship in the land for the inde-
pendence Of which they died and for
the greater glory Of which they offer
ed their properties and their lives?"

Something Good on Goodwin.-On
one occasion in his career Nat Good
win was humping over the gasoline
circuit as the star in play which was
so bad that the only good thing in ii
was the last curtain. Naturally the
public evinced no desire to patronize
it. Finally, however, the brave actors
and actresses played in a town which,
for some mysterious reason, turned
out good crowd to see the dismal
performance.
It was too good to be true. After the
first act Goodwin sought out the stage
manager and said:
ION the level, are those real people
out there?"
Certainly, whole lot Of them," re-
piled the manager.
We'll, that's one on me-" replied
Goodwin. II thought that crowd was
a painted drop curtain. Popular

WON'T RUN FOR GOVERNOR
William Allen White Assaults a Boon
in His Behalf.


A number of progressives at Lakin,
more kind than considerate, yesterday
resoluted in favor Of this man White,
Of Emporia, for governor. To which
the Gazette says no-a thousand times
no. For we are on to that man White,
and without wishing to speak disre-
spectfully of fellow townsman, who
so far as we know, may be at least
outwardly decent in the simpler rela-
ton Of life-perhaps he pays his debts
when it Is convenient, and he may be
kind to his family, though that's not
to his credit, for who wouldn't be
and he may have kept out Of jail, one
way or another for some time; with
out, as we say, desiring to speak dis
respectfully Of this man, we know that
ks's not the man either to run for gov
ernor, or, If such a grotesque thing
could be imagined, to serve as govern
or. He can't make a speech. He has
lot Of radical convictions, which ne
sometimes comes into the Gazette Of
fee and exploits, which are dangerous
He has been jawing politicians for
twenty years until he is common
scold, and he has set up his so-called
ideals so high that the Angel Gabriel
himself couldn't give the performance
that this man White would have to
advertise on the bills. So, in the words
Of the poet, nix on Willyum Allen.
The Gazette's nose is hard and cold
on the proposition to make him gov
ernor. He is a four-flusher, a ring
tailed, rip-snorting hell-raiser and a
grand -stander. He makes big noise.
He yips and kioodles around a good
deal, but he Is everlastingly and pre-
eminently N. G. as gubernatorial tim
ber-full of knots, warts woodpecker
holes and rotten spots. He would have
the enmity Of more men who have
walked the plank politically than any
man in Kansas, and his candidacy
would issue an irrevocable charter in
Kansas for the Progressive party 70
be the official minority report world
without end. Men and women would
be trampled to death at o'clock elec-
ton morning trying to get at the polls
to cast the first vote against him, and
at night perfectly good citizens, kind
fathers and indulgent husbands, would
risk Jail sentence to get in at least
ten votes against him as repeaters. 1t
may be that the Progressive party
needs a goat, but the demand doesn't
require Billy goat! Now is the time
for all good men to come to the aid of
the party. But this man White Is a
shoulder CALLED, sore backed, ham
strung, wind-broken, string-halted,
stump p-sucking old stager, who, in ad-
dition to being no good for draft and
general purposes. has the political bots,
blind -stagers, heaves, pinkeye and
epizootic. Moreover, he is locoed and
has other defects. People in the state
may be fooled by the doped gait and
fancy steps Of this man White. But we
know him.-Emporia Kansas Gazette.
