Two friends Of long standing met

Munroe had him down. Suddenly,
however, his face became Illuminated
with hope. Ever meet the president,
Munroe?"
Well, no, Judson; I'm sorry to say
I have never met MI. Wilson-that IL,
as yet. I admire him greatly, but
every time I've been in Washington
he's been of travelling somewhere.
Did you ever meet him?"
"Oh, yes" announced Judson,
proudly. MET him only a short time

CHAPTER xiv-continued.

It was through some chicanery, he
knew-some low-down trick on the
part of Aragon-that his pardner hat

Their that or he would go after Aragon
and take 1t out of his hide.
1t was outside Buds simple code
even to question his pardner's limo
cence, but, innocent or guilty, he would
have him out If he had to teal down
the jail.
So he slapped his saddle-gun into
the sling, reached for his quirt, and
went dashing down the canyon. AT
a turn in the road he came suddenly
upon Aragon and the rural, split a
way between them, and leaned for
ward as Copper Bottom burned up the
trail.
1t was long since the shiny sorrel
a been given his head, and he need
ed neither whip nor spurs-but a mile
or TWO down the arroyo Bud suddenly
refined him in and looked behind. Then
ne turned abruptly up the hillside and
Jumped him out on a point, looked
again, and rode Slowly back up the
trail. @
Aragon and the rural were not in
sight-the question was, we're they
following? For a short distance he
rode warily, not to be surprised in
his suspicion; then, as he found tracks
turning back, he gave head to his
horse and galloped swiftly to camp.
The horses of the men he sought
stood at the edge of the mine-dump,
and, throwing his bridle-rein down be-
side them, Bud leaped off and ran up
the cut. Then he stopped short and
reached for his six-shooter. The two
men were up at the end, down on their
knees, and digging like dogs after a
rabbit.

that they never looked up from their
work, and the tramp of Hooker's boots
was drowned by their grubbing until
he stood above them. There he
paused, his pistol in hand, and waited
grimly for developments.

piece of quartz that came up, "Aqui 10

his pocket and placed them together.

as the rural jumped, Aragon handed
over the ore. There was a moments
silence as Bud stood over them-then
he stepped back and motioned them
out with his gun.
Down the jagged cut they hurried,
aWed into a guilty silence by his an
ger, and when he let them mount
without a word the rural looked back.

ing, but the swing of the Texans gun
spoke for him, and they rode quickly
out of sight.
You dad-burned greasers!" growled
Bud, returning his pistol with a lab
to it's holster. Then he looked at the
ore. There were two pieces, n fresh
dug and the other worn, and as he
sazed at them the worn piece seemed
strangely familiar. Aragon had been
comparing them-but where had he
got the worn piece?
Once more Bud looked 1t over, and
then the rock fell from his hand. 1t
was the first piece they had found
the piece that belonged to Phil!

Fertilizing Fall SownC Crops
Soils of Low Fertility Require Applica-
ton of Nitrogen and Phosphates
BY M F. Miller. Prof Of Asronony. College Of Agriculture University of Missouri

The proper use Of commercial fer
~tilizers on Missouri soils of medium or
low fertility is very profitable. The
most important plant food needs of
such soils are those of available nitro
gen and phosphates. However, the
commercial price of nitrogen is so
high that with the exception of spe-
cial crops or intensive systems of
farming, it can be used profitably only
in rather limited quantities.
Soluble phosphates, on the other
hand, being cheaper, can be used in
much larger quantity in the fertilizer;
consequently, a fertilizer containing a
small to medium amount of nitrogen
and a rather large amount of soluble
phosphates is usually the most eco
nomical, under average systems of
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1914-09-17

dunn rates. AS a meter of fact, 200
pound applications of the fertilizers
mentioned viii usually bring a greater
net return for each dollar invested in
fertilizer than will a greater quantity,
but not necessarily a greater net re
turn to the acre. In many cases, much
heavier applications than those sug-
gested will bring the highest net re
turn. especially under systems of in
tensive farming.
These recommendations are all
made on the supposition that n
wishes immediate returns. The use
of fertilizers alone will not maintain
soil productiveness. They should be
used only in connection with a system
of croly rotation which involves the
growing of clover, cowpeas or other
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1914-09-17

legumes and the application of ma
nure, in order to maintain the supplies
Of organic matter and nitrogen in the
soil. Where a series of years is con
sidered, the greatest net return an
acre will. be secured under a system
Of farming in which the soil is built
up in organic matter and nitrogen by
proper system of rotation, and fer.
t~ilizers applied only as an adjunct to
this practice.
In some cases. particularly where
the land is low in phosphates, the use
of the raw rock phosphate, applied at
the rate Of 900 to 1000 pounds an
acre every four or five years, especial
ly where this is turned under with
decaying organic matter, such as sod,
manure or clover, may be more eco
nomical than the use of the complete
fertilizers mentioned above. This
system, however, is limited, as a rule,
to the farmer who is not dependent
upon immediate returns.
The application OF 150 pounds OF
bonemeal or the higher grade mixed
fertilizer mentioned, when sowing
down meadows in the fall without a
nurse crop, is a very paying PROPOSE
tion on thin lands. 1t will usually inn
prove the stand of grass and markedly
increase Yields. It will often change
a failure to a successful and profitable
stand.

TOMMY ATKINS HAS NOT

LONDON. Oct. 9.-(By mail to

it. And he will help it unless he is
sick or wounded and in that case he
doesn't care. Out on the firing line
and in camp though, when he sleeps
Tommy Atkins is going to use his
shirt as a night garment. That's fl
nal he AYERS.
Which is all in answer to a rumpus
that has been kicked because the
British Red Cross society and queen
Mary's Needlework Guild have In
cluded such things as "pajamas" and
"men's dressing gowns" in their re-
quirements for the war. Tommy At
kins shifted disdainfully when told
that he was going to get pajamas.
More than that he laughed scornful-
ly. Wear pajamas Not he. if he
knew it. What did he want the
bloody things for. Might be all right
for the officers, he thought. but not
for him.
Aroused by the criticism offered,
officials of the Red Cross Society and
Woman's Guild stated that the paja-
mas we're offered for hospital service
and not for the soldiers in the field.
The pajamas. they said. could be
worn by the wounded while they were
confined in the hospital.
One soldier who has seen service
through several campaigns, smiled
grimly when pajamas were mention
ed to him.

JAPS BELIEVE SPIRITS
HELP THEM IN WAR

TOXIC, oct. 9.-For the past two
weeks a large part OF the Japanese
officialdom has been busy announcing
to the spirits OF the many imperial
ancestors the declaration OF war on
Germany. The most important OF
these ceremonies was held at the i'm
perial sanctuary in the palace at To-
kio, conducted by the emperor him
self Special messengers were dis
patched to the Grand Shrlnes and the
Tomb OF Emperors Jimmu and Moi
ji The japanese firmly believe that
these ceremonies make them irwin
chile in war owing to the aid given
them by their ancestors. Most Jap
anese books dealing with the Russo
japanese war give the imperial ances-
tors credit for Japan's victory in that
conflict.
