you left home to face the world q
how tears came 10 mothers eyes?

cannot begin to kno" what that
Dartjng meant to her. Perhaps
mother has been called to that
asat Beyond; perhaps you are

Kansas City, March 5.-Many sto-
ries of the tenacity with which
Frank James, the former outlaw and
member of the notorious Jesse James
gang. who died at his home near
Excelsior Springs recently, chung to
his determination to live an upright
life after his surrender, were told
here. A writer, long friend of the
former bandit, in company with a
publisher visited James several years
ago to get information to be used in
a book.
II promised the Governor of Mis-
souri, when i surrendered to him, "
James told the publisher, that |
would never write a book about my
self or permit il TO be written"
Though he was said to have been
offered $4,000, James kept his
promise and his knowledge of the de-
tails of seventeen years of wild life
will be buried with him.
Much has been written about the
James boys, but according TO Frank,
no word of how they robbed ever
came from him. Nor did he ever
tell what became of vast amounts
of money they were supposed to
have stolen.

The American Legion.

An organization of 100000 or
500. 200 men who have had military
training is not an impossible thing
in the United States. They would not
| be enlisted for regular army service,
nor for regular militia service. None
the less they could be made, under
proper direction, and owing to their
past experiences. a very mobile body
of troops ready for action at very
short notice. The plan, as formulat-
ed after several conferences in New
York seems comprehensive enough.
In these meetings the government
may be said to have been repre-
scented by Mai Gen. Wood. in COM
mand of the Military Department of
the East. who was authorized to par
ticipate in the discussions. Com
mander Robert Il. Crank of the navy
has been representing that side of
the fighting establishment.
Approximately $4,000 men are
discharged from the United States
army annually. The great majority
of such men. those discharged even
as long as ten or fifteen years ago
are still in the prime of physical
manhood. II would not be impossi-
BILE, we think, to find a quarter-mil-
lion such men in the country now.
Joining the proposed organization,
which would be called the American
Legion, would be voluntary. Not all
the availables would care to join,
but it is easy to believe that the
very great majority of them would,
and that, with annual accretions, a
reserve army of 100000 men could
be made to men honorable discharg-
ed from the navy to fill the compile
ments of crews in time OF war. A
naval reserve force of scores of
thousands could be created in this
way.
The government would, of course
nave TO arm the men ana equip |
them in time of action. The scheme
appears to have been well thought
out in all of it's details. Its central
idea is the one of having at all times, !
subject to instant call, large body
of men trained not only in military
service, but, as the statement makes |
plain, the very important military
art of man taking care of him
self in the open" And this would
include, as we understand it. not
only discharged soldiers. but any
class OF civilians whose service would
be valuable in war. The plan. as it is
reported, has no suggestion of mill
tarism in it.

solvent action on plant food minerals
therefore the more finely the soil is
pulverizcd the more soil particles we
will have for the roots TO come in
contact with TO obtain plant seed.
Ii the seed bed is hard and cloddy,
or has large open spaces in it, the
roots will be restricted. in their feed
ing space. The plant food is made
available largely through the action
of bacteria or small living organisms
in the soil. These organisms require
air. moisture, and warmth in order
to do their work and these conditions
are at their best only in a well pre-
pared seed bed.
A well prepared seed bed will alb
sorb and retain much more water
available for plants than one poorly
prepared. Much of the available wa
ter is brought up from below and IL
the soil is not well pulverized and
does not make a good contact with
the subsoil, the water from below will
be restricted in its movement up
ward
A we'll prepared seed bed is one
that is deep, well pulverized and well
firmed down. There are various inn
plements that may be used in 'secur-
ing this condition. For late blowing
when soil is likely to be hard. say
from April throughout the summer,
it is a good practice to disk before
blowing. This will insure a good
contact between furrow slice and sub
soil.
The implement to be used after
the breaking plow must be determin-
ed by the condition of the soil. Ere
quently the drag is the most effect
i've. or the spike-tooth harrow may
be best, and if the ground is cloddy
or not in the best condition, the disk
may be necessary. Ones judgment
will tell him what TO do next if a +,
deep well prepared seed bed is kept |
in mind. Thorough preparation and |
frequent tilhge of seed bed before |
planting are more effective than til
lage after planting. Surface tillage |
moisture and makes more
plant food available. The chief OBJ
ject of tillage after the crop is well |
started is to keep down weeds. If |
weeds are killed before planting, then |
less cultivation will be needed after |
planting.
Summing up, the reasons for good |
preparation are as follows:
/. The seed is the storehouse for |
moisture which acts as a carrier of |
plant food.
9. 1t is the stratum of soil from |
which most of the plant food is OBJ
tanned
3. II is the stratum of soil in
which most of the feeding roots of
plants are developed.
3. 1t kills weeds and reduces the |
amount of cultivation necessary aft
er planting.
6. 1t puts the soil in condition to
a bsorb some moisture which would
otherwise run off the surface.
Better plant a little late on well
prepared soil than early on poorly
prepared soil.
A firm. compact seed bed, well pull
verified, is important with all crops.
and especially important with small
seeded crops. and when the soil is
dry. ID. S. MYER,
