ia the placing Of patlolman on the
recently completed prineville- M Mitoheli

foreign country and is known as
maintenance patrol. The ratrolman

brush down and look after such work
as will keep the road open and smooth
for traffic. In fact, his duties will be
similar to those of section man on

WHEN DISKS STICK.

Suggestions For Overcoming the Diff
cuIties Of Starting.
With regard to multiple disk clutches
running in oil. it will usually be found
difficult when starting from cold in the
morning to engage a gear unless the
clutch is held out an abnormally long
time, says the Automobile Dealer and
Repairer. A quick way is to press out
the clutch and 1t the same time race
the engine once or twice quickly. This
will generally throw off the CONCEALED
oil and permit the clutch shaft to stop.
On the pattern that runs dry with ne
l%ubricant). with steel and bronze al
ternate plates. occasionally the plates
refuse to separate. and the clutch will
not stop spinning when the pedal is
pressed out. The remedy is to- prop
the clutch out Of action. squirt kero-
sene between the plates. run the engine
to throw of surplus kerosene. with
clutch still disengaged. then wash out
with gasoline. kerosene having a tend
ency to rust steel. Az cor as the
clutch becomes dirty it will refuse to
stop: hence the noise when engaging
the gears.

There are some things a level

kindle the fire with kerosene
oil, to walk on the railroad
track or attempt to get on a
moving train, to point a gun
or revolver at another. to put
his name on another man note
to keep his savings in a stock

game of chance with a prepos-

WHERE HEAT

WHERE HEAT PREVAILS
A peculiar situation has de-
veIoped in Philadelphia where
Bill Sunday has stirred con-
flicting interest to active antag-
onism. The liquor interests are
using every possible influence to
oppose the work of SUNDAY.
They went to one of the great
daily newspapers in the city
and told the publishers if they
persisted in featuring the work
of Sunday all the liquor adver-
Using contracts with the liquor
people would be cancelled. The
tedandtemper-
ance forces promptly came
across with more than enough
additional advertising to take
the place of the cancelled busi-
ness.
Churches and temperance
people generally are slow to re.
spond to the support of publish
ers who stand four square on
these issues. In this case a
white heat interest created a
prompt response. The response
always comes in time in any
case. 1t always pays in the end
to be right. But a little prompt
er response at times on the part
of church and temperance peo-
pie in these lines would yield
rich rewards. -MinotO Optic Re-

AGAINST

while a nation is still Wig

expanding, while the blood in

head no scruples are felt. But
when its energies begin to
wither, when self-indulgence
takes the place of elf-sacritice,
when it's sons and its daught-
ers become degenerate, then it
is that a spurious and bastard

be an anachronism and a bar

OF Fertilizers

creased Crop Yield.
Present agricultural practice pre-
scribes the use of three chemical Gle.
ments as a soil amendment" a. 'stim-
ulant for plant growth" OF a plant
food" as it is variously put. These
three elements when applied to the
soil In which a crop is growing have
been found by practice tO afford IN
increased crop yield. They are phos-
phorus, potassium and nitrogen. spo-
ken Of by the trade terms Of phos-
phoric acid. potash and. 'ammoniates."
The nations supply of these three
common ingredients at fertilizer may
be- summarized as follows: OF phOs-
phOric acid there is ar abundant sup
ply in the large deposits Of phosphate
rock in Florida and Tennessee and
the enormous deposits Of Idaho. Mon
tana and Wyoming.
OF potash. now obtained exclusively
frUm the German mines, there is little
known in this country outside of the
desiccated residues in Searles lake. Cal
ifornia. and the giant Helps of the Pa.
chic littoral. In,the latter there is much
more than enough to supply the pres
emit demands Of the fertilizer trade Of
the United States, the present annual
consumption Of potash being about
100000 tons Of varied composition.
At present the kelps are not supplying
any Of this. since it has not been de-
termined by actual experimentation On
a commercial scale that they ran be
used economically as a source Of pot
ash.
OF ''ammoniates' there ia a large
source in the ammonia produced as a
byproduct in the distillation Of coal
for the production Of gas or coke or
both. This source is but partially de-
veloped. al by the methods most COM
monty practiced in this country this
possible byproduct is not recovered.
The amount of ammonia now going to
waste is almost large enough to supply
all Of the "ammoniates'' now demand
ed by the fertilizer trade. The abat-
toirs supply a large amount Of tankage
and dried blood of high fertilizer value.
but Of these possible b%yproducts there

Extreme individualism in ayr

Extreme individualism in agri-
culture has had it's day. There
can be no question that the key
to the solution Of many Of the
problems Of rural life will be
found in some form Of concerted
action or Of cooperation. Some
form Of organization is as inev-
table an it is desirable. Without
1t the farmer cannot have ade-
quate schools or social life: with
out 1t he cannot secure good
roads. standardize his products
or economically market them:
without it be cannot have the

credit foundations which will
enable him to secure capital at
more reasonable ratea.-Secre-
