 cuttings in different parts of the coun- ;try, and although in many, instances .the experiments have been failures, fthere is no longer any doubt that will pows can be grown everywhere except in arid and semiarid regions, at high $altitudes, and in some portions of the 1South. Commercially, they are now 'fgrown only in a few areas, notably, in New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio. They may, however, prove "a remuneratives crop. Estimates pub Fished in Farmers, Bulletin No. 622, rBasket Willow Culture" indicate that hn average annual net profit of from ps4 to $s9 an. acre may be expected. : fr In selecting a a,site for willow holt, the first consideration is moisture. Water should; be within from two to six feet of the surface, and tho supply constant and sufficient. It is better, however, to select a site which may be too dry, rather than one which =may be too wet Where the moisture <. conditions are favorable basket will lows will grow on a. wide range of soils, although they .do best in loose, sandy loam Excessively acid or ex- cessively alkaline soils should :. be avoided. It is desirable, too, that the wind have free access to the holt. since this minimizes the danger from insects. The neighborhood of large areas of weeds is also undesirable, for it is difficult at best to keep the holt clean For this reason it i3 advisable that holts be established on land which has been previously cultivated Many failures, it is said, are due to lack of proper preparation of the ground. If possible, a previous crop of corn or potatoes should be plant ed. Late in the fall the land should then be plowed and left to weather during the winter.
 All basket willow holts are started from cuttings from shoots or branches. Since the plants last from twelve to fifteen years or longer, the best stock should be selected for this purpose. Of the many varieties. only the American green and the patent Lemley or Lemley should be select ed These require less cultivation than the purple willow, are easily peeled and bring good prices.
 Where cuttings are purchased. the prices should range from one dollar per thousand for ten-inch cuttings to five dollars per thousand for two-year old 14-inch cuttings. For less thar one thousand the prices are frequent ly much higher. Many persons, how ever, have begun the cultivation O willows with a few hundred cuttings and have gradually enlarged thei holts as their supply and knowledge both increased The better the phys ical conditions the less necessary is to have large cuttings, but unde any circumstances two-year-old plant ing stock makes a thriftier growth a first than cuttings from one-year-ol shoots. ft 3'''t

A Mothers Love.

The most beautiful thing in life is
a mothers love. 1t begins with
stitches on a tiny garment and it
outlasts the grave. Some mothers
may be unkind. but rarely. These
are the exceptions. The love that
the mother bears for her son fol-
lows him through babyhood, school
days, young manhood and father
hood, through all his successes and
defeats. In honor or disgrace, it
utterly owns him. A stain can nev-
er attach itself to him; for always it
is he who is wronged by the world.
To his mother he can confidently turn
on any occasion, under any circum-
stances. In her he finds always the
same tender parent who sought

Finances in Bad Way

Amsterdam, via London, August
2S:-The Berlin Vorwaerts, in dis
cussing the new German war loan,
directs attention to what it charac-
terizes as the alarming financial sit
uation which Germany must face at
the conclusion of the war.
After the war;" says the paper,
the imperial debt and pensions
alone will demand an annual expend-
iture of at least two and half bill
lion marks (s625 900, ,OO0), or little
less than the united ordinary and
extraordinary imperial expenditure
for 1912. In other words, the income
of the empire hitherto will only suf-
fee to pay the interest on the ma
tional debt.
For all other expenses new
sources of taxation must be created.

dawning light in his baby face and
the secret of his greatness has lain
hidden in her heart as she has pom
dered over its promise. The realiza-
ton of her dream cannot fail, for
she sees its fruition beyond the end
of life itself. The mother of the
condemned criminal with the halter
about his neck knows he is pure,
knows he is innocent, knows he has
never in all his life told her lie.
1t is not blindness; it is revelation,
prophetic of something not yet at

The mother has this power of
vision. She can see in shapeless
bit of life the lives of an unending
succession of men. She has also the
strength of faith that is unshakable.
1t approaches the divine. If heaven
may be found at all on earth it is in
the heart of mother. There is no
life woman will not live, no death
she will not die for her children. She
makes home what it is and, while
maintaining unbroken relations with
the home she leaves, builds a family

BANKRUPT NERVES

Each of us has certain supply of
nervous energy. Every act, even
every thought, uses up some part of
this energy. During rest and sleep
the supply is increased by the blood
which gets the needed elements from
the air we breathe and the food we
eat.
Your nervous energy is like a bank
account If you use 1t up faster than
YOU add to it you overdraw your ac-

given to nervous bankruptcy. 1t means
that the power to recuperate is gone
The blood can be built up so that 1t
will increase the supply of needed ele-
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
a tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the
blood the elements that the nerves
need. Many nervous disorders, some
times chronic ones, have yielded to
this tonic treatment with DIR. Williams
Pink Pills when other methods failed
to give relief. They are certainly
worthy of a trial in every case of weak
nerves and thin blood.
