KlLGHI HURT
At Meadowbrook Traction Sta
ton Where He Slips and
Falls on the Track.

James A. Knight, plant manager Of
the Consolidated Telephone Company,
was the victim OF a very distressing
accident late yesterday afternoon,
and as a result he is lying at Cook
hospital at F'airmont in a serious con-
dition.
Mr.. Knight had been out over his
route looking after his work and was
returning to Fairmont on the interur-
ban car, when he met with his mis-
fortune AS the car reached Meadow
brook station, Mr.. knight stepped out
on the platform of the car with the
intention of handing OF some batter
les to a Iineman who was waiting
there. The platform was slippery
from the ice and snow, and Mr.. Knight
slipped and sfen out onto the side of
the track, striking his head with much
force against a cross tie. He was
hurried as soon as possible to Cook
hospital where several physicians
were called He was in an uncon-
scious state when brought in and he
did not rally until late in the evening.
Mr.. knight has several serious
scalp woundns,s one side of his head
being terribly lacerated. 1t required
twenty-five stitches to sew up one of
the wounds. = His hip is also hurt but
it is not thought that the injury is
serious.

oldest Chemical Fertilizer.

The beneficial results of applying
a variety of chemicals TO the soil is an
old experience In agriculture. Gyp-
sum or crude plaster, mari, form of
carbonate of lime, with more or less
of clay admixture, chalk, crushed
limestone and the road dust of roads
running through lime country were
used Unfortunately just as they
were available. In districts distant
from such materials, the plastering,
stucco and morter of old buildings
that were pulled down were not vast
ed. They were applied TO the hop
gardens and truck farms near the
Villages and towns of England in the
days of bluff Prince Hal.
One is speaking, of course, of old
countries, where the keeping up Of
the fertility of the land has been a
constant problem. And, this is
problem we still have to learn in
America, where virgin fertility is still
so recent a tradition, If not person
ally experienced fact with many, that
farmers are slow to Keep alive to its
necessity.
Now, rural England, the home of
our mother tongue, called all these
various forms of chemicals by the
general term lime" Lining the
i soil" meant applying any one or 9th
er of them, whichever, was cheapest
also known, that If results were want
t ed in shorter time, burned lime such
as used for mortar was best. 1t was
therefore, designated quick lime"
for quick meant alive in old Eng
lish and lime" an earthly chemical.
"Quicklime" is the good old Eng
Iish name for burned lime. 1t got it
from the farmer from the way it did
its wcrk-Quick. As there were al
ways more farmers than masons, their
designation had the call and in the
English of England, burned lime
would not be understood for what it
is by the generality of men for
{, "quicklime" is the word. Now, 1t
would be well for our farmers to re-
member this for it tells the story of
age along experience in word. But,
how is it that here in America we
have lost the designation and do not,
as in the mother tongue, understand
by lime, class Of substance and the
particular thing by "quicklime."
Why, very naturally. Favored In ag-
riculture by fertile soil. the American
farmer forgot about fertilizing it with
different chemicals. "Quicklime" be-
came virtually material of the ma
son alone. The designation quick"
was therefore dropped because it
was considered senseless.
So. in American English we know
of lime as a particular thing. We
have lost the farmers term quick

C,.,,ziest Idea.

I OF all the crazy things that have
appeared in print the following words
! of a single taxer in Cincinnati and the
Ssubjofned comment from the Cumber-
land. Md. Press, from which a rhetor-
7cal affirmative Is inferred from the
declaration in the heading that the
thrifty are always poor. is undoubt-
eddy the craziest:
I'VE all realize that it is well to be
thrifty. But we are not going to in
crease general prosperity through 1t.
AS long as men out of work are seek
ing Jobs from those at work, anything
which enables people to live more
clleaply will show them how to get
along on less wages. In competition
for Jobs, widespread thrift must con
seouently cause reduction of wages,
so that the economy would become
com pulsory instead of voluntary.
Thrift under an unjust social system
will prove a blessing to the one prac-
ticing it only as long as he is an ex-
ception to the general rule. Let the
practice become general and it will
cease to be an advantage"
This is what the Press says:
..Can you think of people univer-
sally thrifty who are not almost uni
yersally poor and working for almost
universally low wages? Is any white
man thrifty enough to compete with
a population of Chinese or japanese
And If we become so universally
thrifty as these people would not the
benefits go to those who get the sur
plus of what we do not spend?"

A profit Of 500 an acre from grow

critics is a possibility for any farmer
according to experiments which Prof
Il. Kremer of the state Agricultural
college Of Wisconsin has been making
on fouracre tract near Madison.
Catnip, boneset, spearmint, pepper

some of the drug weeds which Pro
fcssor Kremer found could be grown
with profit. For all these there is a
steady market, and they can be grown
with no more care or attention than
ordinary timothy hay. While the lat
ter is high at one cent a pound, the
leaves of the drug weeds, when prop
