WOOD ASHES ON THE FARM

Many farmers are writing to the
Vermont Agricultural Extension Ser
vice inquiring whether wood ashes
may not be mixed with their CONNER
cial fertilizers in order to supply in
part the shortage Of potash brought
about by conditions due to the war.
Apparently many Vermont farmers
are planning this to accomplish their
purpose. They will but make a bad
matter worse, for wood ashes contain
lime; and lime and acid phosphate,
which is the source of the phosphoric
acid in practically all our commercial
fertilizers, are what the doctors call
"incompatables." Lime when mixed
with acid phosphate tends to make
once more insoluble a large part of
the available phosphoric acid. Furth-
ermore, under some conditions the nj
trogen of the fertilizer may in part be
driven off in the air. And, finally,
potatoes grown on fertilizers in which
wood ashes enter to any extent, are
the more likely on that account to be
scabby.
If the user Of commercial fertilizer
wishes to put more potash on his soil
than his fertilizer contains, let him
apply the wood ashes and the CONNER
cial fertilizer at intervals of week or
two apart. Even under these condi-
tons the phosphoric acid may be to
some extent effected, but ve.y much
less damage will be done than if the
two were mixed together.

OFF TO THE HORSE SHOW
Group Of Norwich Cadet Oiliccrs AZ
Brooklyn, n. Y, Horse Show

The Norwich Equitation Team left
for Brooklyn Saturday morning. The
team consists OF Lieutenant Parker,
the Commandant Of Cadets, Cadet
Major Murphy, Cadet Captains Ryder
and Whitaker, Cadet Lieutenants
Peabody and Mckinney, all Of the
First Vermont Cavalry, except Lieu
tenant Parker, who is Of the United
States Cavalry.
The events in which the cadets will
compete are: three OF the military
charger class; three in the hunter
class over jumps four feet and four
and half feet; one in the military
jumping class over hurdles three and
half and four feet; the Grafton
broad jump which commences at 10,
and is increased Is inches for each
try; class for saddle horses for $3.50
cup.
A few days before the hor es were
shipped, notice was received Of an en-
durance ride Of 10 miles under
weight of 225 pounds. Due to the
shortness of the notice, il was deemed
inadvisable TO enter the horses for this
test as without at least month OF
proper training they would be unable
to make reasonably good showing.
Colonel Spencer Borden has offered
Lieutenant Parker his Arab mare,
Halcyon, for entry in the broad jump,
an event in which she is particularly
able to compete.
During the leisure hours of the trip,
Lieutenant Parker will with the cadets
visit various points of interest, the
United States Navy Yard, the harbor
Notifications, Meadow Brook Club, etc.
etc.
The expenses for the trip are paid
by friends of Norwich interested in
Workmanship.

A STATEWIDE CLEAN
UP CAMPAIGN

The Greater Vermont Association is
suggesting to all civic and commercial
organizations in Vermont the desira-
bility Of securing the cooperation OF
their communities and all local organ
izations in carrying on a Cleanup
Campaign the first week in May. 1t
is especially important this year that
the campaign be a statewide affair
affecting every community, if Ver-
mont is to play her part as an ideal
state for residence and travel.
The following letter has been sent
to the presidents and the secretaries Of
Vermont civic and commercial organ
izations:
To the Presidents and Secretaries Of
Vermont Civic and Commercial Or
CARNATIONS.
Gentlemen:
Good Roads Month" has been car
ried out very successfully. After we
have done so much to increasing the
interest in improved roads for our
selves and visitors to travel, it will be
most consistent for us TO undertake
campaign to make our countryside,
our villages, and our cities as attrac-
tive as possible to look upon.
1t will be fortunate for Vermont and
Vermont prosperity if this year every
civic and commercial organization
takes the initiative in the conducting
Of a CLEANUP CAMPAIGN. | am
sending you come Of the literature
published by the New England Clean
Up and Paint Up Committee.
The Greater Vermont Association
would urge upon you as a consistent
part Of your years program Clean
Up campaign during the first week OF
May.
Vermont ought to lead New England
in the number of villages and cities
taking part in this movement.
II is Vermont's business TO be as
perfect as garden, as beautiful as q
park.

No one thinks OF any Vermont

marks tending TO show that the
deposi,ing public has a discrimi-
mating mind. The very safest
bank is none too safe for the per-
son who is laying away his hard
earned savings against rainy
day. He may have hard luck
and need what he has placed in
the bank and so he weighs with
the greatest care all the evidence
tending to aid him in selecting
the safest of the safe banks.
He studies very carefully the
characteristics of the managers
OF the different banks and ism t
entirely satisfied unless he can
ascertain positively as to the
success Of those managers in their
own private business affairs.
He wants to know that their
habits are irreproachable; that
they never speculate in their own
business--i Indeed have none OF the
gambling instinct, else they may
possibly be tempted by high rates
OF interest to manage the bank S
funds rather with reference to
large interest returns than to alb
solute safety of principal.
Now, If the above reasoning is
correct, it is fair to conclude that
a bank which so far stands the
tests of public scrutiny that its
deposits are the largest in the
world in country village must
measure up very high in the
minds of those who save their
earnings and deposit them in saw
ings banks.
Practically every Vermonter
not only knows, but takes a JUS
tifable pride in the fact, that
Vermont has that bank and that
it is located in the village Of
Hyde Park.
That the Hyde Park bank
would like to maintain this hon
orable distinction goes without
saying, and that this unique
place which Vermont holds in the
banking world may continue,
will, we are certain, be the hope
OF Vermonters everywhere.
The managers of the Hyde
Park bank would therefore pleas
antly urge upon Vermonters who
are not partial to any particular
bank, that they give their prefer
ence, when making deposits, to
the Hyde Park bank, which will
continue in future as in the past
to conduct its affairs along those
safe lines of investment which
has made the bank so successful,
so safe and so popular in the
past. The bank pays per cent
interest and pays all taxes.

AS COL. HARVEY SEES HIM

Col George Harvey, editor Of the
North American Review, shows his
courage again in the April Number
in his sizing up of the failure of
Josephus Daniels as secretary of the
navy. Both men are democrats but
that does not deter Col. Harvey from
speaking the truth even If it shows
the hypocrisy of the clause in the
democratic platform denouncing "the
prohigate waste Of money wrung
from the people by oppressive tax
alton" and demanding "a return to
that simplicity and economy which be-
fits democratic government"
After showing that $320,600,000
had been spent on navy yards up to
June, 1910, half of which was prac-
tically wasted, Secretary Meyer, Mr..
Daniels predecessor, recommended
the closing Of the naval stations at
New Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan,
Porto Rico, New London, Sackett's
Harbor, Culebra, and Cavite because
they were Of no value to the naval
service. Secretary Daniels announced
that he would rehabilitate the navy
yard at Charlotte because "it would
furnish jobs to quite a squad of pat
riots" He Immediately re-opened the
yards at New Orleans and Pensacola.
In his annual report he boasts that
new construction work is authorized
at discarded navy yards. Further
than this he has ordered the transfer
ence of ships being repaired at the
Portsmouth yard to Pensacola which
is recognized as punishment of New
Hampshire for returning to the re-
publican fold. Such brazen misuse Of
public funds for political rewards can
not fail to shock every believer in hon
est government.
After showing that Secretary Dan
iels is ignoring the demand of all prac
teal naval authorities for greater
efficiency in the conduct of naval af-
fairs, Col Harvey finishes his analysis
something like this:
"Of all the secretaries Of the navy
from Benjamin Stoddert to George
Won L. Meyer, he (Daniels) has proved
himself unquestionably the least COM
petent. If he has done a single use
full act, barring his boosted saving at
the spigot while wasting at the bung-
hole, the instance has yet to be re-
vealed. If he has failed to utilize an
opportunity to discredit both the de-
partment and the administration"
His (Daniels) repeated declara-
lions that the navy is fully
prepared for battle, in the face of
testimony to the contrary by every
admiral who has been questioned 4. :.
have come to be regarded as no more
than the puerile chatter of an incom-
petent official fatuously attempting
self justification"
1--WE cheerfully accord to Mr.. Dan
ieIs whatever credit there may lie in
lack of comprehension of the magni-
tude of his handicap to the administra-
ton, but we are no less strongly con-
WINGED that the fullest understanding
would convey to his conscience no
sense of obligation to relieve the pres
ident to whom he is so immoderately
indebted of a burden which would
break the back of any but an extra
ordinary administration"
"Naught remains but to minimize
so far as possible the dismay which
attends the probability of being COM
PEELED in 1916 to meet a cry: A vote
for Wilson is a vote for Daniels.

We said at the opening that Col,
Harvey is a democrat. He is more.
He Is citizen who would purge his
party Of incompetency and undesir-
ables that his country might have
sane and efficient service from its pub
lie officials. His exposition Of Score
tary Daniels will be generally com
mended.

IT ISN'T YOUR CHURCH, IT'S YOU

1t isn't your church that will stand
in Gods Judgment Day, but you in
dividually, as belonging to the Church
of God.
If you'd like to join the kind of a
church,
Like the kind of a church you want,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip,
And start on long, long jaunt.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's knock at yourself, when you
knock
Your church. 1t isn't your church
It's you.
A real church is not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise a church from the
dead
And if, while you make your own mis-
takes,
You'll bear with your brothers too
Your church will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't your church-It's you.
The River of Life. viii you, will be
there?
Far upon the river eternal there
stands,
A city celestial and fair
On the shores of the river are heav-
ems fair lands.
And the throne of Jehovah is there.
And the ransomed, unnumbered,
meath radiant skies,
Press on where the streets are of
gold.
Their home is eternal, where Paradise
lies
And their rapture can never be told.
Transparent the pavement, and jasper
the walls,
Where sickness and death never
come,
Adown DER the river, sweet melody
falls.
'Tis the song of the blood-washed at
home.
'Tisthe song of the ages, surprisingly
sweet
The praises to Christ that are given:
And here will the loved ones in &C.
stacy greet,
And rejoice in the fullness Of
heaven.
Oh, that sweet life eternal, to rest on
the shore
Where the sorrows of earth never
come,
Where the anguish Of parting, and
death is no more,
In the peace Of that glorifed home.
Where the waters Of crystal eternally
flow,
Proceeding from under the throne,
We shall meet with the friends we
have loved here below
And know them as now we are
known.
In that home of the soul, that pure
haven Of rest,
We shall clasp the dear hands that
we love,
They are waiting the welcome 10
Jesus's breast,
They are waiting the call from
above.
And far DER life's river rings out the
refrain,
And the welcome Of angels is
sweet,
No sickness can reach them, no sor-
row or pain,

John Chittenden has ordered two four

SOME THINGS
and OTHER THINGS

The cartoonist made Mark Hanna,
the originator of the invisible govern
ment idea, wear clothes constructed
from dollar marks, and we would laugh
at the conception thinking it was
huge joke; but there are plenty of men
walking our streets who suggest dol
lar marks as they pass by. Their
facial expression, their approach, and
their attitude say dollars, dollars, dol
lars-it is not strange that a profession
or business marks US.
When l hear man say, Il am not
interested in politics., put him down
as a poor citizen or more than likely he
is afraid of losing his position if he ex-
presses a political opinion. So many
people are absolutely controlled by the
law of economic determinism. Such q
law makes men moral towards 1t Is
this law that makes good men neutral
on the temperance question, the labor
problems, and the social evil situation.
The muck-rakers, in their exposures
of political rottenness, have been the
greatest social benefactors that society
has had in the last ten years. There
are still to be found few old conceited
conscience-blind politicians who hold 70
the old political methods They are too
old to learn and too mean to reform so
we just have to. wait until death does
his duty. Their places will be filled
with men of national vision some day.
We have no general national consci-
ence. We may be too young as a
nation to form one. But we have been
for the last $50 years receiving people
from every nation of earth trying to
fill them with the American spirit, and
now we find we have q local conception
of wrong doing but no national concep-
ton of wrong. There are plenty Of
men of the old school who would not
steal pig from your pen, but if they
could, by organization, defraud a whole
community out of 10000 pigs, would
call that good business.
Woe unto the man who makes money
his god. There are men who would
cash their chance for heaven If by so
doing they could spend few years in
pampered luxury. 1t seems they would
be willing to fight fire through all eter-
nifty for this luxurious experience. But
never in the history of the world were
there so many rich nobodies whose
whole riches are accumulated dishonest
