Chapped hands which have been alleyiated by the glycerine treat ment are likely to find some other method of care. Glycerine, affect ed by the war, it is said, has ad- vanced in price until it is almost unobtainable. Gar bolic acid, an- other necessity of life, has also scared until it is beyond the purse of the average inflividaul. Carbol- ic acids scarcity may reduce the number of suicides. The inability to get glycerine may not only ado to our winter discomforts, but il also makes it impossible for tht bank robber to ply his trade, as i enters largely into the mssnufac ture of high explosives as well a. into toilet preparations.

In Germany the farmers are rated by the number of head of live stock, and not by the number of acres cultivated. The tenant farmers in that country are re- quired to keep certain number of live stock and to save the manure for the soil. As a result of the German plans the soil of that coun- try has been increasing in pro- ductiveness, while in this country the soil has been decreasing in pro- ductiveness. MORAL Raise more live stock and save the ma- nure for the land.

A Pennsylvania woman awoke in the dead of night with terrific headache. A medicine cabinet was handy and she reached out in the dark and got a tablet. It was the wrong sort and in a few min utes she realized that she had been poisoned. She lived~miles from a physician. Her husband, with rare presence of mind, which should make his name live forever, grabbed hunk of Horse Shoe, or Star" or some other rand of chewing tobacco and forced his wife, who detested the weed, to take mans size "chaw" and then swallow it. The effect was grati- flying. The poison, not to mention the tobacco, was voided and the wife's life was saved. An elegant opportunity for some frenzied ad writer to see the point and make the best of it, but it's no argument supporting the theory that tobacco chewing for women is commenda- ble.

Origin and Function of Soil.


 Soil is composed of finely divided rock particles, called inorganic mat ter, and finely divided decaying vege- table matter. It occurs in two layers which are known as soil and sub-soiI The soil or surface layer contains more deeaying animal and vegetable matter, and for that reason is darker and coarser in texture.
 In the course of time the finer parti- cles have washed down into the sub. soil and have caused the layer to be- come tighter and heavier. The sur face soil furnishes the physical sup port for plants and the major portion of their plant food supply. The sub soil provides a storage place for mois- ture and furnishes some food for those plants which are able to send their roots into it.
 Soils have their origin from rocks Geology tells us that the surface of the earth was once a molten mass which solidified to form rock. Gradual ly the rock was broken to pieces by various chemical and physical agen- cies. With alternate heating and cool ing the resultant expansion and con traction caused Assures to develop Water getting into Assures and freez- Ing caused further division. Water running over rocks ground them down Wind carried the. covering from rocks and exposed them anew. The gases of the atmosphere produced chemical changes which led to the breaking down of rock.

After rocks were broken down to form soil, the development of plant growth led to the introduction of or ganic matter The leaves of plants fell to the soil and became a part Of it. Upon the death of the plant the roots and stem of the plant became a part of the soil. The decay of plants enriched the soil by has.ening the chemical processes as well as by re- turning plant food which could be used over again. As the forests de- veloped and year after year the leaves, twigs and dead trunks were returned to the soil, the surface layer became darker and loosar and more porous than that underneath
 Geological Classification.
 All soil does not now occupy it's original position. This fact gives rise to two general classes, first the seden- tary or those soils which have not been moved far from their point of origin, and second the transported soils which have been formed by ac- emulation through the effects of
  wind. ice, water, or gravity. The re- sidual forms the most important class of sedentary soils in Arkansas This is the main type in the western and northwestern parts of the state The residual soils having been formed practically in their present position are old soils, without strata, and pre- senting heterogeneous mass of ma terial. They have been subjected to teaching for long periods, and a large part of the soluble materials have been washed out.
 All our river bottoms are made up of alluvial or water transported soils. A large portion of southern and south. eastern Arkansas is made up of ma rine soil or what is commonly known as coastal plains land. The sediments which are continually being carried away by rivers are sooner or later de posted in the sea.
 Soil Particles.
 Soil particles vary in size from coarse gravel to the very finest par tiCleS Ol clay. DelWeeE CneSe are coarse, fine and ve y fine sand parti cles and what is known as silt. One can easily recognize the coarse and fine grained soils by rubbing very small amount between the fingers. The finer soil is the more silt and clay it contains, the more sticky it is when wet. When a soil contains a moderate amount of each of the sev- eral grades of sand, silt and clay 1t usually works easily and is called loam. When it contains more sand it is called sandy loam. or more clay, a clay loam. If it contains a large amount of clay it is called a clay soil
 The condition of the soil affecting tho ease with which it may be worked is called tilth. By good tilth" f meant friableness By "poor tilth' is meant a cloddy or compact condition Filth depends largely upon the amount of humus or vegetable matter a soil contains and upon the water content of the soil at the time of working.

The Looted island.

EFT was clear night. bright with
stars. Joe and ! were sitting by
Il our campfire near one of the fiords
Of western Alaska, where we had
gone Oh hunting expedition after the
great moose Of the west
was talking when suddenly Joe
touched me.
"Shsh!' he whispered. There's some
feller moving down by the creek
We waited. and was soon aware OF
4 figure advancing through the night

l then noticed that both men were

through their pockets, The stranger
slowly drew out his hand.

"Who was he?"
"An Aleut. called Sam. He's been in

as we ran under the lee of the land we
were aware Of IL figure standing on the
beach waiting for U.s.
Its Aleat Sam. sure enough" said
Stafford
The Aleut proved to be a squat fel-
low of most Monaghan cast of coun-
tenance. We rowed ashore in the can
vas boat, and on the beach Stafford
held rapid conversation with his
man in Indian. Neither Joe nor /
could follow what was said, but pres
emily Stafford enlightened us.
''Sam says that one night, four days
after | left Eel island. he had just
eaten his supper when he heard
knocking on the door. Thinking it
must be me who had returned, he
opened it. Seeing no one, he stepped
out into the dark, when pair Of arms
We're thrown round him. and a cloth
that smelt like the stuff that made
him go asleep in the hospital Sans
had most of his toes off on account Of
frost bite down to Valdez was clapped
about his head. He struggled. but he
says he does not remember any more
until he woke up on the beach here.
1t was still dark, and the men and
boat were gone.
Toward evening he discovered a
barrel of dried fish which had been
tumbied ashore from the boat which
maroened him-to keep him from starv-
ing, suppose. He went up into the
scrub and made fire. Since then he's
been here and seen no one. That's
ALL
''Then he didn't ever really see the
faces of the chaps that kidnapped him?"
Stafford translated the question to
Sam and repeated the answer.
"One had beard and was a big
man: he wore peaked cap. Anything
else to ask him?"
"Yes. How long has he been here on
this island?"
Eight days."
"What's he been doing all the time?"
"Just wandering around"
"Where has he been campedT'
Stafford raised his thumb over his
shoulder "In the scrub above here"
Joe nodded. well. let's go to his
camping place and boil the kettle, He'll
sure have bit of fire there
Joe stirred the smouldering logs into
life. but in doing SO was SO unfortunate
as to overturn the kettle
''That's bad" said he. "Best tell your
| man to get some more water"
Stafford sent off Sam on his errand:
but no sooner had the Aleut disappear
ed than November was on his knees
examining the charred embers and
deIving among the ashes.
| Get rid of your hired man for a
while longer, only SO he don't suspect
anything" he said 81 hear him com.

"You mean he's in the robbery|
He sure is And. what's more, 1t
looks to me like he's your only chance
of getting your foxes back. Here he
! comes"
A moment later Sam appeared in
sight walking up the narrow track be-
/ tween the rocks. kettle in hand. Stat
ford spoke to him in Aleut Sam
grunted in acquiescence. and went off
up the hill that formed the center OF
the island

wood while the kettles boiling. Now
