Two New Roads.

County Judge Harry F. Cook is an
enthusiastic advocate of good roads,
and the present season in Ghicot coun-
ty has witnessed many miles of new
roads opened and all established roads
improved Most important of these Is
the road between Dermott and Lake
Village, when shortens the distance
between these two cities more than
fourteen miles. BY the old road the
distance was 81 I miles, and by the
new road, which is we'll drained and
graded and traverses new section of
the county, it is but lS.4 miles. As a
correspondent to the Gazette recently
pointed out, travel between the two
towns is now a pleasure. the round
trip being made within three hours
time, atfording splendid opportunities
for visits. transaction of ordinary bust
ness affairs, witnessing ball games at
Dermott and returning before nightfall
on the same afternoon.
Another important highway which Is
just being oped leads west from Lake
Village to Montrose, distance of IL
miles, giving the first outlet by public
highway from Lake Village to the
western counties and Louisiana. This
road has been drained, graded and es-
tablished nearly all the way through
Chicot county and the remainder has
been cleared and smoothed for dry sea
son travel and will be completed next
season.

TR0GEN IN THE SOIL

Says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From
Air For Deposit in Soil.

It is a we'll known fact that either
fields or unbrohen land allowed to run
without tillage will gradually increase
In nitrateS, sometimes as much as
twenty Ave to thirty percent For a
number of years this was matter OF
much discussion and was explained in
various ways However, IL was final.
ly discovered that this was the work
or bacteria and that these bacteria
take free nitrogen from the air and
convert II into plant food in the soil
This process is called nitrogen fxa-
ton
Process Of Fisation.
There Is another process OF AKA.
ton which must be distinguished from
the process Just mentioned and that is
the process which takes place In the
nodules on the roots OF leguminous
plants. Both OF these processes OF tix-
alton are brought about by bacteria
but the organisms which cause them
are entirely different The bacteria
which work in the nodules will not fix
nitrogen In the soil while those which
work in the soil will not fix nitrogen
In the nodules OF legumes.
Bacteria as Aid
The bacteria which fix free nitro
gen in the soil are capable of doing
their work quite rapidly. II has been
demonstrated quite conclusively that
they are able to fix considerable
amounts of nitrogen in as short a time
as 10 days or two weeks when all OF
tho controlling factors are favorable
only part OF the faCte@s which con-
troll their work have been determined
but some OF the more important ones
are known Probably ono of the moro
important Of these factors is the ad.
dition of lime TO the soil as II seems
that lime Is great help TO these or
ganisms in CARRYING on their work
They usually work in the first foot OF
soil or in that part which IS reached
by the pillow. but as previously stated
they may also work In soil that has
never been titled
Value OF Bacteria
The value of their work can hard.
" be estimated in dollars and cents
for they work almost the entire wear

CASTERS MESSAGE.

This, TO my mind, is the message Of
the Eastertide:
We may interpret the resurrection
IN dozen different ways; we may
believe or not believe that this miracle
took place as reported in the pospels
But that Jesus was never slain by the
soldiers of Pontiur Plate, but lived
to rally his disciples after the agony
OF terror OF Golgotha, to capture Paul
and lead him over stormy seas and
desert wastes for the preaching of his
word, to call the glorious company of
the apostles, the goodly fellowship OF
the prophets, the noble army of the
martyre," in all ages and places iatu
the service of his kingdom; to sp eak
to us today as he has spoken Of old
time unto the fathers" and 10 "rhal.
lenge us to live and die for him and
hiS great cans. OF rightenusIcSs".-
all THIS is as certain as that his BODY
was nailed - he cross OF Calvary,
Alter the crucihxion, as before. Jesus
was alive. He has been alive in every
age, even the darkcs;, that has sue
ceeded upon the hour OF his mortal
agony, and he is alive today more
truly and wonderfully than he has
ever been before in human history
OF this we can be sure!
But what about ourselves? Are we
also alive-alive as the eleven were
alive when. the reaSsembled in Jeru-
salem and gave themselves anew to
the kingdom of God on earth? Have
We arisen from our selhshness, COW
ardice and sin to meet the risen Christ
and pledge our hearts to his, or are
we dead, as dead as Judas when the
nrSt Easter dawned upon the worlde
l ms is the question which this latest
Easter puts to us. 1t is not so much
the resurrection of Jesus as of our
selves which mead concern us-Rey.

EASTER.

Las L X.
Ring loud and clear your bells for
Easter time,
Now quick, now slow;
From sea to sea catch up the happy
chime;
Bring all the flowers that blow
For wreath and crown an offering
pure and sweet
Christ's rising morn to greet.
Ring long and deep your bells for
suffering borne
With patient grace;
Bring purple pansies, colors that are
worn
Best with a sorrowing face,
And weave with pine and cypress and
young moss
The emblematic cross.
Ring soft and slow your bells tender
knell
And softly weep;
Bring amaranth and stainless aspho-
del
In memory of that sleep
Which wrapped the world in three
days ashen gloom
While He was in the tomb.
Ring, ring your bells across the happy
land
This Easter morn!
Christ sits in heaven at the Fathers
hand.
Bring blossoms to adorn
A conquered death, whose victim has
arisen,
A grave which is no prison.

SUCCESS FOR THE Specialist

Among a boti@ai o. imm sran!s a
few years ago, says the Outlook, was
a poor young man who settled ir
Kansas City and set up small pea
nut stand near the entrace to the
public library.
selling peanuts was his vocation
his vocation, or hobby, was the study
OF languages, with which he put in
his spare time, studying in his stand
books borrowed from the library.
Lots of people thought him a great
Joke and there was many laugh at
his expense. BHt the peanut seller
went on studying languages.
Today he is teacher of languages,
and one of the really shining lights OF
Harvard University. He knows Lam
guages,
Cyrus Field devoted Is years to
seemingly hopeless drudgery amid
SCOTS of men, and crossed the At
lantic ocean fifty times before he lad
the Atlantic cable. But he laid it. He
knew cables.
When George Westinghouse first
went to Vanderbilt with his air brake
the railroad magnate told him he chad
no time to talk to FOOLS" But West
lnghouse had, and he kept after
Vanderbilt until the air brake was
adopted.
The most successful worker is he
who singles out from the vast num-
Der of possible employments some
specially and sticks to it.
Most men can do several things
passably well. Very few can do one
\thing surprisingly well. The Young
man who knows one good hing
thoroughly, farming, for instance,
knows enough; he is master among
men.

state horticultural board effected this
week, Governor Alexander has secur-
ed control of it and is now enabled
to make it a political adjunct which is
alleged to be his purpose. At the
board meeting at which the reorgan-
ization was perfected, c.. P. Hartley
of Emmett, the newely appointed
member. voted as the governor de-
sired for Guy Graham of Fruitland
for Inspector, but in doing SO admit
ted that he had accepted the position
on the board and agreed to vote for
Graham consequent to Governor
Alexander's signing the Gem County
bill. One of the developments of this
meeting was that Hartley had adj
vised previous to his appointment as
member of the board that Graham,
the newely appointed inspector, was
wholly incompetent and that ninety
per cent of the fruit growers of the
Payette Valley would sign a petition
against his appointment. Fruit grow
ers in the Boise and Payette Valley
resent the Governors action in drag
ging the board in to politics, and point
to the fact that neither Governor
Hawley nor Governor Haines set such
a precedent.
Illegality Acknowledged.
Much comment in political circles
has been aroused by recent editor
ial in the Lewiston Tribune, the lead
ing Democrat paper of the state in
which it takes the position that by
threatening the legislature while it
was in session that if it did not itemize
all appropriation bills he would veto
them and reconvene the legislature,
Governor Alexander practically ack
nowledged that he recognized that he
could not legally reduce any item in
an appropriation bill, and that that in
altering items in the way of reducing
them his course was makeshift to
fool the people to try to vindicate his
promises of economy. The fact that
this paper, the leading Democratic
paper of the state, depreciates the
Governors lack of candor and points
out that he has sought to deceive the
people is worrying Democratic lead
ers.
1t is reported that the Governor will
not continue his church lectures, but
in conformity to the advice of politi-
cal advisors, will cease them. 1t is
claimed that his advisors hold that his
motive has been so generally ques-
toned that a reaction in sentiment
has set in, and that further lectures
will menance the political feature of
the governor.
As result of the efforts of Secre-
tary of State George R. Barker, the
farmers are now enabled to secure
loans from the state land board at six
per cent interest. Through persis-
tent efforts, Mr.. Barker has reduced
the rate of interest from seven to six
per cent and effected a policy through
which money now deposited in banks
will be withdrawn and loaned to
farmers.

of lament
An owl, according to the Spanish,
was so dazzled by the sunlight it did
not perceive that it had alighted upon
the cross. But as night came on it
saw and, frightened, called Cruz!
Cruz" Gross! CrossD, as it flew
away. And from that moment the
owl has kept repeating this cry and
has been able to see only after dark

fastened the Saviour to the cross
twisted its beak and dyed its plumage
with the martyrs blood Concerning
the robin there is similar tradition,
expressed in verse, as follows:
To the Saviour's throbbing head
She fondly strove. His blood, tits said,
Dyed all her tender bosom red.
Since then no hand disturbs her nest,
No prowling beasts her young modest
