WORTH SAVING.

If you knew that it takes nature
10000 years TO form a foot Of soil,
maybe you would have a higher opin-
ION of Mother Earth and be more
careful how you drain your garden or
your field.
If YOU saw a granary full of rat
holes you would suspect a careless
farmer
But field left 10 wash away by the
unchecked rush OF surface water after
a downpour is fully as wasteful The
only difference is that here the waste
is of plant food before it gets into the
grain.
If your garden or field is on a
slope. terrace it: if on a level plant it,,
no, in straight rows but in circles.
And i'm both cases tile drain it,
For the stuff that washes away is
precisely the stuff that your crops
most need in order to astonish the
natives by their thriftiness.
And once gone, it is expensive to
replace.
When YOU stop to think that every
thing depends on the soil clearly the
soil is worth saving.

THE LAZY VOTER

The lack of interest at elections
has caused the Sandusky Star-JOur-
nal to suggest that there must be
some sort of education of the public
TO the duty of voting. 1t thinks it
may be necessary to do for politics
what enthusiasm has been doing for
religion i'm the last year. and that a
'go-to-the-polls" movement may have
TO be resOrted to.
There is real cause for alarm in
the indifference of the voters There
has been a more or less successful
effort made to get citizens out on
election day, but it has been over
come in part by the increased num-
Der Of elections. IL seems that the
citizenship OF the many voters is not
equal to the strain of having to go
to the polls three or four times a
year. There~are on amazing number
of Weaklings when it comes to voting.
1t is a shameful showing that is
made in all our city elections. In
Springfield the charter elections
showed a disgFa cefully light vote.
The same was true Of Dayton. of
Youngstown, of Columbus. Of Cleve-
land or every city where municipal
government was being revised. If a
man did not have enough interest i'm
pOsterity TO try to get a good char
ter in his home city. il would have
seemed that self-interest would have
caused him TO try TO improve condi-
tons while he lived.
The American business man is a
queer person In many instances he
will fight and grub and concentrate
his thoughts day in and day out. for
years at a time in trying to make
money. For a man with a reputation
for shrewdness he is a good deal of
a joke. The only way. when he gets
away from the regular operations OF
business. that he knows how TO make
a dollar is by the direct method of
specializing or trading. He insists
upon economy and holding down ex-
penses as part of the money-mak-
ing policy TO its legitimate conclusion
in his civic life II more and more
looks as if the state will have Il

whether he has sense enough to be
interested or not.-Springfield (Ohio)
