CHRISTMAS IN THE TRENCHES.
Big Shells Burst Over Arras Friday
and Saturday.

Arras, On the French Front-Hun-
dreds of big shells tore the air over
Arras all Friday afternoon. The echoes
of those were the last compliments of
the season, and they had no sooner
died away than the life of Arras began
to show itself through reopened cellar
doors and windows in preparation for
the usual Christmas eve festivities.
After the usual systematic Smelling
died down rifle shots and the rattle of
machine guns was all that broke the
stiffness of death that settled over the
city. The cathedral stood out against
the twilight in ragged ruins like a
spectre, with crumbling ruins of de-
molished buildings all around giving
the aspect of gigantic cemetery with
decaying headstones.
The rattle of machine guns struck
up again and few rifle shots rang
through the clear air. Toward 8
o'clock the soft strains of an organ
were heard from an invisible source.
Santa Claus and the Christmas
spirit, notwithstanding the war, were
in evidence, everywhere along the Ar
tots battle front.

Solomon as Naturalist.

There is an odd reluctance upon
the part of many people to 60 to the
ant, the water-bug, the beetle and 9th
er "invertebrate" or backboneless
creatures, to consider their ways and
be wise. Solomon was learned nat
uralist of his day and perhaps the
first animal behaviorist of all time.
Not alone ants and bees taught him
much, but all insects, beasts Of the
field and birds of the air contributed
to his wisdom. II Solomon were alive
today, he would more than glory in
the domain of experimental research
into the behavior of the lower crea-
lures. He would no. doubt write a
down-to-date volume of proverbs
founded upon the learning abilities,
the memory and the behavior in gen.
eral of feas, lice, flies, gnats and
other insects.

LIME is NOT A FERTILIZER
Applied to Soil to Correct Sourness or
Acidity Where Such Exists
Some Other Effects.

(By M. F. MILLER. Missouri Experi-
ment Station)
There is a general impression
among farmers that lime is fertili-
ger. The prime reason for applying
lime to the soil is to correct sourness
or acidity where such exists. The
legume crops, such as clover and al
falfa, do not thrive on sour soil, unless
the soil is very rich. Sour soils are
not we'll suited to the development of
beneficial bacteria, which are found
in the tubercles of these crops. 1t is
mainly for the purpose of favoring the
growth of these bacteria that lime is
applied to soils. Ground limestone is
the form of lime which is usually
cheapest as soil sweetener.
There are other effects of lime, but
most of them are of less Importance.
Lime tends to make plant food avail
able from the soil, although this is
largely through it's beneficial effect on
the bacteria. In large quantities it
tends to make clay soils more friable,
but this effect of lime is usually OBJ
served only where the freshly water
Stacked or air-slacked lime is applied
in large quantities. Ground limestone
has much less effect in this respect.
A fertilizer usually gives quick re-
Spouse in the crop to which it is ap-
piled, provided the soil is in need of
the plantfood added. Lime, on the
other hand, usually has less imme-
date effect, the benefit being distrib-
uted through a number of seasons. On
very sour soils, however, where
enough lime is added to entirely
sweeten the surface of six Or seven
inches, the effect upon crops, particu-
larly clover and alfalfa is often imme
date and striking.

throughout the year, the egg-produo
ing side Of the question should not
be sighted or overlooked.
For one who is looking for breed
of fowls bred for business as we'll as
beauty, the Leghorns are unequaled.
They mature early, the cockerels be-
ing easily marketed for squad broil-
ers at weight from one and half to
two pounds. Leghorn cockerels are
always plump at this age when cock
erels of the larger breeds are most
ly frame and bone. Early maturity
means early laying. Leghorn pullets
lay well at four and half to five
months, being among the earliest Of
early breeds. Leg'lorns are excellent
foragers, and on the other hand stand
confinement we'll. Being active and
vigorous, they are not easily overfed,
therefore not prone to sickness. Leg.
horn eggs always run high in fertils
ity, and the chicks are exceedingly
handy and easy to rear.

Commodore Blackton says those who

certain extent" He said, that Ford
had amassed a fortune and was now
preparing to deliver it into the hands
of any nation which might desire to
invade America, by spending money
for peace instead of giving it for navy
appropriations. He also gave many
prominent people a thrust for their
blindness in not seeing that America
needed just now better army and a
stronger navy, instead of a declaration
of universal peace
He said General Grant took with
him 10000 tons of ammunition and
commissary supplies, but in this day
and age twice as much could be trans
ported on one big Atlantic liner" He
also stated he had been informed by
the men in the highest army and navy
circles that one of the large European
powers could land 100000 men, 100000
horses with supplies enough to last
them three months within forty days.
America is in no position to resist
such an invasion at the present time

WORTHY OF STUDY BY ALL
Lessons Taught In the Book Of Ruth
Should Find Comprehension In
Every Mind.

The Book of Ruth is the greatest
pastoral idyl in literature. 1t is
founded on loving kindness, the low
ing kindness of the Moabitess re-
vealed to her family, and the loving
kindness of Boaz, the wealthy Israel
lite, to Ruth, his kinswoman. 1t also
contains the germ of that great-heart-
edness which is the center of the Cos
pei of Christian love-
1t is book that opens with tears
and famine and ends with the sound
of wedding bells. The story turns
upon the raightforwardness of Boaz,
who showed kindness and manliness
to Ruth, member of a nation that
was Israels foe, and in that kindness
founded new house, the house Of
Jesse and David, the royal line that
begat a greater than David.
1t was first the mingling of the
blood of the Jew and Gentle, symbol
ic Of the cosmopolitan width of the
Christian religion 1t was the sign
that that religion was not to be found
ed upon wealth, or upon social caste,
but upon the large, wholesome love
Of the human heart. Boaz is immor-
tai among Bible heroes for his kind
ness, his plain, everyday generosity,
his sense of protection and care for
the lonely, unprotected Moabitish girl,
his dead kinsman's wife, who in her
poverty cleaned in his harvest field
after the reapers. Boaz gave order
to his reapers that they should allow
her to CLEAN even among the sheaves
of barley, and by his large-hearted-
ness gained wife, and, more than
that, made place for himself in that
immortal company who are renowned
for naught but for being kind.-Chris-
tan Herald

"The Battle Cry of Peace" is photo
spectacle with mission. 1t was writ
ten and produced by J. Stuart Black
ton, president of the Vitagraph Com
pany, in an effort to wake in every
American a desire to protect his loved
ones. The story, based on Hudson
Maxim's book, "Defenseless America"

marines, earoplanes, torpedo boats and

are no tomatoes on the market at

present.
Wheat-Considera animation has
been given to the local wheat market
during the week by the shaving of
rates to the Atlantic seaboard, there
by opening an avenue for the ship
NEXT of grain to eastern terminals.
AS result of this situation, large
volume of wheat has been shipped
east at prices from / to 2 cents above
those prevailing at Pacific coast
points. The blockade that has pre-
vailed at Pacific coast terminals has
not been relieved to any great extent
and, as result, very little grain is
going that way In the matter of
quotations, based on Pacific coast
prices, the market is about &c above
that of last week. Bluestem is quoted
at SIC, club SAC and red Russian SOC.
Flour There has been no change
as to prices in the flour market dur
ing the week on the products of the To-
cal mills, but some grades of Mon
tana hard wheat flour handled here
have advanced 4Oc per barrel. The
same condition that had prevailed for
some time with regard to the trend
of prices still causes distributive op-
erations to hold at very conservative
proportion.
Feed-The strength to the alfalfa
market has been further accumulated
this week by another advance of 81,
making the figure $18 per ton. Feed
wheat has also been advanced from
$50 to $32 per ton. Other lines are
holding firm at previous quotations,
with good distributive business.

ONLY SURE CURE FOR COLDS
London Newspaper Asserts That Evil
Must Be Fought With Practically
Its Own Weapons.

Doctor Johnson, knowing nothing
Of microbes, thought he had crushed
the story of the cold that strangers
bring to st. Kilda by asking: How
can there be physical effect with.
out physical cause?" Then he pro-
ceeded to make merry. The arrival
of ship full of strangers, he laugh
ingly supposed, would kill the inhab-
itants Of the island; for if one
stranger gives them one cold, two
strangers must give them two colds,
and so in proportion" In vain did be-
levers in the story argue that it was
annually proved upon the arrival of
the owners steward, which always re-
suited in cold for all the islanders.
"The steward" replied Johnson, al
ways comes to demand something
from them; and so they fall a-cough-
ing"
The proper cure for a cold, which
always seems to have baffled the doc
tors, is-cold-on the principle of
homeopathy. The only sailors in the
Crimean days who escaped sore
Threats were those who could not get
mufflers. The members of the Scott
expedition never got cold until
they had left the frozen Antarctic and
reached civilization. We should es-
tahlish the refrigerating chamber as
antiphon to the Turkish bath for cure
Of colds.-London Chronicle.

PASTEURIZlNG MILK IN BULK
New Process Eliminates Danger Of

Loss in Evaporation.

That the process of pasteurizing
milk in bulk and then bottling 1t
while hot in hot steaming bottles pro
duces as satisfactory bacterial reduc-
lions as pasteurizing the milk in bot
ties, is one Of the conclusions of a
recent investigation which the de-
partment of agriculture has conduct

The investigators found that the
new process eliminated the danger Of
bottle infection and had the further
advantages of saving the loss in milk
caused by evaporation over the cool
