If the Daughters of the Arneri-
can Revolution establish col
lege in North Carolina, much of
the credit will be due to Senator
Steadman of Halifax county, who
fathered a bill in the last general
assembly looking to the encour-
agement of the society in this I'M
dertaking. The John Paul Jones
homestead would be an ideal To-
cation and Halifax and other
North Carolina citizens would
provide almost unlimited backing
to get the school under way. =

Grantwooders Back
From Interesting
Western Trip

Alfred C. Church, pastor of Grant
wood Congregational Church, return
ed Monday from an extended trip in
the middle west. Mr.. Church left
Grantwood in company with the
Charles J. Leegers on August IL
The next day, Friday, the party spent
at Niagara, enjoying the wonders of
the place, among which was the sail
on the "Maid of the Mist"
Friday evening the party took the
lake steamer from Buffalo for Detroit,
reaching there the next day. They
visited Belle Isle, remarkably
beautiful place, they said. Detroit,
they reported, was about the busiest
place they had ever seen. It could
even give New York some points.
The people seemed to have any
amount of money, and were anxious
to spend it. Mr.. Church attributed
this to the presence there of the great
Ford and scores of other automobile
industries.
Mr.. Church went from Detroit to
Pittsford, the home of his late wife,
where he was entertained royalty;
and from there went to South Bend,
where his brother has charge of the
Standard Oil properties. At Pitts
ford, among other entertainment the
party INDUCED in horseback riding,
bathing and inspecting the abundant
harvest. In one day LOO bushels of
oats were harvested.
At Pittsford the party separated,
the Leegers returning home. Mr..
Church went on to Hillsdale his col
lege town. While there he had the
pleasure of attending a Chatauqua
Circuit course of lectures. One of
the lectures was given by a senator
from Iowa, who related thrilling ex-
periences of his trip to the war zone
in Europe. Another famous speaker
was Newell Dwight Hills, who. de-
livered delightful lecture on "Rus-
kim" Mr.. Church returned from
Hillsdale to Pittsford, and thence to
Grantwood.

Predicts An Era
Of Prosperity
Says America viii Reap Re-

One More Year of War.

In recent talk on conditions il
this country the following was sale
by Thomas A. Edison:
Leaving out entirely the question
of war industries, activities which
are simply a hectic flush and do not
give complexion which indicates the
healthy advance of commercial enter
prises in the United States, l am
satisfied this country has embarked
upon a seven years. cruise of pros
perity.
"But l am afraid it will be the same
old story over and over again-some
will attempt to overdo it. Then in
evitably will come a recurrence of bad
times, although not SO bad as we have
seen them, because business is now
established in this country upon a
really sound banking system.
"People can go safely ahead now
with assurance of good times to
come, but they must learn to save
their money and avoid extravagances
After the European War
when the European war is over
we are bound to be affected, you
must remember, in the re-establish-
ing of business. The world is locked
together commercially, and the de.
vastation of the countries Of Europe
by war naturally affects seriously all
the other countries of the world, oul
own included, of course.
Notwithstanding this trouble.
some phase of the future, we are ir
for term of commercial prosperity
and if the people do not overde
things it may extend over long
period.
"The war will likely continue an
other year, and at it's close undoubt.
eddy many survivors will come here
to escape the terrible taxes certain te
be levied upon them.
"But there remains plenty of lane
uncultivated in this country, ane
these people, accustomed to intensive
farming, will assist US to increase
our crops.
European Farmers Needed Here
"And that's what we need-inten-
sive farmers. Where we are getting
fifteen bushels to the acre we ought
to get forty. These European farm
ers can produce the large amounts
too"
"The crops here" Mr.. Edison de-
clared, (which are splendid this year
have been a fine contribution to the
wave of prosperity. Another indica-
ton of better times," he said, twas
the shortage of labor some employ
ers have met.
"And these concerns are putting or
more men," Mr.. Edison continued
"for the crops good prices are being
obtained, and more money is being
circulated"
Mr.. Edison declared President Will

USING HEN MANURE
/. AND ASHES Is BAD
Ohio Experiment Station Gives
Reply to Question as to Fer
tiIization of Soil.

The Ohio experiment station has re-
ceived frequent inquiries as to how to
use ashes and hen manure to the best
advantage In fertilizing the soil. The
best answer the station gives to the
question is: Don't. Ashes are about
onethird lime. but no material con
tanning lime, in the form In which It IL
contained In ashes, should be mixed
with moist manure, az the lime will
cause the liberation OF considerable
part OF the nitrogen in the manure
and II will escape as ammonia gas.
Ashes and dry hen manure may be
mixed Immediately before applying
the manure, as the ammonia will most
ly be absorbed and held by the soil.
The proper material to mix with man
ure IL acid phosphate, as this serves
TO fix the ammonia instead OF liberat-
ing It and also re-enforces the manure
with phosphorus, which Is the element
most needed by most sells similar to
that In Ohio. Acid phosphate sDrinkled
over the dropping boards will reduce
the loss OF ammonia and increase the
effectiveness OF the manure.
A mixture Of $50 pounds dry hen
manure, $50 sounds acid phosphate
