A coNyENTIoN OF BAcTERIA


Ia Farm ard Fireside convention
OF bacteria is described. Some of the
delegates came as far as three-quar-
ters OF an inch, and one delegate was
blown by the<Wind from across the
Eoad-an incredible distance. The de-
scription Of the conventiod goes on as
follows:
The convention hall was the shell Of
a nodule of a crimson clover root; but
as there were only q billion delegates,
there was no lack OF room.
The report Of the committee on nj
trogen fxation was read and debated.
sThis report shows a very uncom-
promising condition, said the chair
man. ''This whole region for inches
on each side of as is losing nitrogen.
We have done our best, but try as we
may, we can't deposit a bit of any
thing in the wav OF nitrate to a depth
of more than six inches. Something
has happened to US The whole COM
munity is going TO the dogs. As soon
as we get down more than six inches,
we can get no air. And if we can't get
air, we can't fix nitrogen. We must
get our nitrogen from air, unless other
source of supply can be suggested
For nv part, I am very pesimistic. L
shall be glad to hear the ideas Of the
convention, and hope debate will be
general"
'fThis problem has been solved on
the other side of the road" said one
of the bacteria. cor rather solved
itself in quite a wonderful way There
came a great roaring over our heads
and heavy rain of stained straw COW
cred the earth. Just as we were get
ting used to this. great upheavel
lifted up nearly a foot of the earth
and stood us on our heads. Everything
crumbIed up, and the air at once began
to circulate away down deep. We who
were near the top were almost foot
down when this great earthquake was
over; but it was so loose and WARN
there that we set to work and fixed
more nitrogen in one field in one sea-
son than you can fix here in two. The
stained straw and the deep blowing gave
as the air We needed. should advise
you to pass resolution"
But just then Rothamstead amoeba
sneaked in through the door and ate the
chairman and 8 billion delegates, and
the meeting adjourned in great confu-
sion.

Normal Notes and Comments.
What Il There Were no Baeterio7

what u There Were no Bacteria?
To say the least, we would have 8
serious time if there were no bacteria.
True, they cause disease and destroy
food but the very properties which
make them destroyers make them prac-
tically indispensable
If there were no bacteria or similar
plants there would be no decay II
there were no decay the soil would soon
run out of organic material Without
organic material plants would have a
hard time scraping together enough
food to make living And what is
even more important the decayed or
ganic matter is the great sponge which
holds the moisture in the soil.
The earth would be covered hundreds
OF feet thick with undecayed plants, to
say nothing of animals, if there were
no bacteria, This statement is true ex-
cept for the fact that all plants would
have died out long before this could
take place As the animal kingdom is
dependent upon the plant kingdom for
food it follows that the animal kingdom
would soon disappear too.
All the organic matter we could put
into the soil would do little good if there
were no bacteria to decompese it.
And SO If there were no bacteria j

HIS GIRL WAS LOCKED OUT
Ing Train Proves interesting to the Passengers.

Indianapolis travellers, homeward bound from New York, saw an amusing incident recently on one of the big trains with transcontinen-. tai connections. About ten minutes before time for the train to leave the station a young man and young woman came aboard. After depos- iting the various grips in the Pull man they went out on the back plat form to say goodby. They were busily engaged in their own thoughts. Time for the train to get under way arrived. When the train started the young man prepared to get off, pre- ferring to take the last few minutes with the girl, rather than escort her into the car. She turned face sus- piciously alive with tears toward the door. She tried the handle-and found that some industrious, jealous porter had locked her out. The young man discovered her dilemma as he vwung of the train. With the train gathering speed momentarily he raced toward the front and succeed ed in getting aboard long enough to make the porter understand that he had locked the girl out. When the porter opened the door and beckoned her in she still gazed back at retreat ing dear old New York and the im- maculate young gentleman who, no doubt, had her heart in his keeping.

For the manufacture of pottery of the better grades considerable clay, mainly kaolin. is imported into this country from Europe and China, the value of these imports last year exceeding $2,25O,OOO. It seems probable that under the necessity due to the war of now finding a domestic supply these finer elays can be in a large part replaced Already process of de- coloring kaolin is reported as suc- cessful. and this may make large deposits of kaolin and ball clay available for the manufacture of white ware and pottery. Arkansas is rich in kaolin deposits and we hope to see the industry developed to it's highest state here.

School teachers undoubtedly have the advantage of hearing choice bits of humor from children. Talking with one a short time ago. who has charge of one of the primary grades in . Philadelphia school, she related this incident: Coming into the room she noticed a number of wads of paper stuck on the blackboard and, surmis- ing that ono Thomas, who was quito a mischiefmaker, was the perpetrator of the deed. she asked: Tommy, did you throw those paper wads on the board?" and he replied: Nom, mine didn't stick"
 In view of this statement there was no subsequent investigation as to how many wads Thomas had thrown nor just when he had thrown them. The teacher had a suspicion he hadn't thrown any.
