MP FARMER ARE YOU GETTING
INBOUNDED RICHNESS OF AIR?

Scientists tell us that above every
acre of land there is, reckoned at pres
emit prices, $11. 100000 worth of atmos-
nheric nitrogen. At this rate the man
with a hundred acre farm has $1,1OOs-
OO0 900 worth, or enough to build. two
Panama Canals and have enough left
IN build a dozen modern battlesh1ps;
enough to supply every man, woman
and child I'm the United states VII
ES11 each; or enough to a little more
than half pay for our annual Wh1skey
and tobacco bill. ..y
:. Are you using this wealth? Are you
changing it from an inert, unused pos
sfBility into-a liquid asset? Are you
turning into real money q goodfy
share of these potential millions?
Both foreign and American manutac-
turers are now, by the use Of powerful.
electric currents, combining th1sffre
atmosuheric nitrogen with certain ma
teriais and thus rendering 1t available
as a plant food. This is a great dis
|-covery; but for plain Farmer Jones we
don't see anything as yet Sto compare
with Natures way, which is through
the bacteria that live in the little knots
or nodules on the roots of peas, beans
and the. various clovers.
From September to April is period
when our lands are usually idle; more
over. it is a period when they are too
often washing away. But these busy
little bacteria, working on the roots
OF bur and crimson clover and the
vetches, are putting a new face on the
soil fertility problem. No longer have
we any business buying nitrogen In
bags, when we can get it free with q
lot of humus to boot.
If you doubt this, turn under a crop
of clover or vetch this spring and fol-
low it with corn. If we're not mistak-
en- you'll be surprised at the yield that
corn will make, and the way it Will
stand drouth will bring joy to your
heart in these days or high-pr1ced
food.
But clovers and vetchers are not the
only plants whose roots furnish homes
for our bacterial benefactors. Cowpeas
peanuts, soy beans, velvet beans and
Iespedeza likewise are nitrogen gath
erers, and no Southern farm that this
summer does not utilize these to the
utmost will be living UP to its oppor-
tunities -Prfogressiv Farmer.

To Absorb FreckleS
And Other BlenliSlles

Every spring, numerous inquiries
are made by girls seeking some re-
liable recipe for removing freckles.
Last year very favorable reports
were received from many who had
used mcrcoliZed wax during the
frcckling season. The wax seems to
possess unusual properties which
completely absorb the freCllles, with
no harmful effect. The complexion
improves wonderfully, becoming as
soft as a rose petal, and as delicately
tinted. Get an ounce Of mercolized
wax at any druggists. spread a thin
layer Of 1t over the entire face every
night for awhile. washing this off in
the morning. Fer rough. spotty

LEGENDS or ST. NICHOLAS.
How He Became Known as Patron d
Children and Of 0ifts.

How He Became Known as Patron Of
Children and Of 0ifts.
An ancient italian life Of st. Nicho-
las recites how he became the patron
Of children. Once upon a time the SONS
OF an Asiatic gentleman were sent to
Athens to be educated On their way
their father enjoined them to visit the
great bishop of Myra and secure his
benediction. They reached there late
one night and sought shelter in an inn.
The wicked landlord, observing their
prosperous exterior, concluded to rob
them and destroy the evidence Of his
crime. Having murdered them In their
sleep. he dismembered the bodies and
concealed the pieces in a pickle tub
But vision had appeared to st. Nicho
las, and he FASTENED to accuse the land
lord. who. seized with .remorse, con-
fessed all. Then he implored the In
tercession OF the saint. and the latter.
struck by his penltence, prayed for the
restoration of the youths TO life. In
stantly the latter arose. and the par.
don Of their slayer was assured.
Here Is the legend which accounts
for st. Nicholas as the good genius
Of the gift season: A certain noble Of
his diocese became impoverished. and.
as they had no dowries, the future OF
his three daughters was imperiled.
The good saint resolved to succor
them, and, waiting till the small hours
Of the morning, he cast through the
open window Of the nobleman's bed
chamber three heavy purses Of gold.
He hoped to retreat unseen, but the
moon was bright. St Nicholas was
discovered. although trying to escape.
AT the courts Of Italian princes there
prevailed an ancient custom called "za-
pata," the Spanish word for "shoe"
At Christmas time presents were con-
cealed In the shoes or slippers Of favor.
