FOUNDATION STONES"

I would not lose the hard things
from my life,
The rocks Ger which I stumbled
long ago,
The griefs and fears and failures
and mistakes
That tried and tested faith and
patience so.
I need them now; they make the
deep-laid wall,
The firm foundation stones on
which I raise
To mount therein from stair to high
err stair
The lofty towers of my House of
Praise.
Soft was the roadside turf to weary
feet,
And cool the meadows where I
fain had trod;
And sweet to lie beneath the trees
and rest,
To breathe the incense sweet of
aower-tarred sod;
But not on these might I securely
build;
Nor sand nor sod withstand the
earthquake shock;
need the rough, hard powders of
the hills
To set my house on everlasting
rock.

Endeavor World.

Use of Cotton in War.

Cotton statisticians who find diff
Guilty in accounting for the large ex-
ports of the staple to Europe, where
a large portion of the manufacturing
industry is Frustrated, will do we'll to
investigate the use of this raw ma
terial for war purposes, according to
the Textile Manufacturers Journa...
They are we'll aware that unusna!
quantities of khaki for uniforms,
duck for tents, tarpaulins and artil-
lery covers, tire cloth for automo-
biles, are being demanded by the
belligerents, but they are likely to
overlook two important Uses of cot
ton that are absorbing hundreds of
thousands of bales of the staple.
1t is rather startling to learn that
it takes a bale of cotton to shoot one
of the big German 42-centimeter
siege guns, and that a modern dread
naught in action explodes 10 to ~
bales of cotton every minute. APP
proximately a pound of raw cotton
is needed in making every pound of
%guncotton, and the powder produc-
ton of Europe and this country is
not far from 100000, 900 pounds
annually under present forced con
ditions. This accounts for about
100000 bales of cotton, largely lin
tiers and waste.
Then there is the enormous de-
mand for absorbent cotton and ban
dages. This probably calls for
about 100000 pounds of cotton
annually, or about 100000 bales. In
fact, it is quite likely that figures
could be deduced to show that the
war demand for cotton is largely
counterbalancing the loss of regular
demand due to the prostration of
the industry in Germany, Austria,
Belgium and France.

HOW TO KILL
POTATO BUGS
Potato Bug And The Poison For
Killing.

Clemson College, May 6.-That
common pest, the potato bug, is now
requiring attention in South Caro-
lima potato fields and vegetable
gardens, according to A. F. Conradi,
entomologist of Clemson college. For
sake of states spuds, he describes
the methods of waging war upon
the bug. ,
"There are two forms of poison
used for killing the potato bug"
says Prof. Conrad. "The best is ar
senate of lead. Paris green Is also
extensively used. Arsenate Of lead
is purchased in two forms, paste and
powder. The powder IS recommen-
ded for the reason that it is more cas-
lily handled, cannot freeze and can
not dry up. For large areas this
powder is used at the rate Of 1
pound to so gallons of water. In
making up a~rsenate of lead or Paris
green solutions always stir the poi
son with a little water to the thick
ness of whitewash before it is added
to the bulk of water. Paris greer is
made up in the same way as %arsenatc
of lead except that the rate j. one.
quarter pound of Paris green to SO
gallons of water"
For the small family garden, says
the entomologist, a~rsenate Of lead
powder is used at the rate ola heap
ing teaspoonful to a pal! Of water;
Paris green, at the rate of q level
teaspoonful to a pail Of water. Par
is green should not be sprayed on
the plants without the addition Of a
little whitewash to the sp-ay. This
can be accomplished by shaking a
lump of quick lime with a little warm
water and aiding it to the pail of
Arsenate of lead pow'le" or Paris
green may be busted. For the family
ga. den it can De dust! through q
muslin or cheese ci.th suck Or

tomatoes should be busted at the
rate of about 1 to 2 lbs. to the acre.
If one seems to be using too mach
it and has trouble, it can be mix
ed one-half its weight with air-slak-
ed lime and busted literally.
To dust Paris Green, add a tea
spoonful of Paris Green to aquart Of
lime and then dust on
plants in the morning while the dew

How Loans are Granted.

How Loans are Granted.
Loans are granted as follows: A
member who WINS land and desires
a loan must make application at a
landschaft office in the district in
which his property is located. The
district landschaft board determines
the eligibility of the applicant and
the property, and if approved the
property is then appraised. Yields of
crops and net returns from the land
are given weight in determining the
amount loaned, but two-thirds of
the appraised value of the property
is usually the maximum. The details
of appraisal, titles, and amount of
loan having been attended to, the
mortgage contract is submitted to
the central executive council for I'm
al approval.
However, the applicant is not CIV
en- cash in exchange for his mort
gage, but receives landschaft deben-
lures OF bonds instead, which he sells
in the open market to obtain the
money needed. This he has no trou-
BILE in doing, as German landschaft
debentures are considered gilt-edged
securities and are nearly always
qouted around par.
In 1912, according to Herrick, in
the province of Silesia farm loans to
the aggregate value of $15O,328,879
were outstanding. Against these 3
per cent debentures to the value of
S43,468,429 had been issued; 3.5 per
cent debentures, S89,02S,s71; and 4
per cent debentures, $17,831,579.
Thus it appears that in this province
money for farm loans was obtain
able ut an average rate of less than
3.5 per cent per annum.
In addition to the interest paid
annually or semi-annually, there is
a further charge of a fraction OK
one per cent to cover expenses end
one-half of one per cent or more for
amortization or retirement of the
principal. Thus the German farmer
is able to borrow money for a long
term of years at a total annual cost,
including all expenses and the amor
tization payment to extinguish the
debt, of not over 5 or 6 per cent a
year.
The above is a brief outline of the
landschaft system and how it oper-
ates. In the different German pro-
vinces the landschafts may vary in
minor details of structure and oper-
alton, but the main underlying prin-
ciples are the same. These princi-
pies include (1) a very close govern
ment supervision; (2) the issuance
of debentures; and (3) amortization.
In the earlier days government
subsidies were granted the land
schafts, but now government aid
consists practically entirely of the
most rigid supervision Of all opera
lions by landschaft officers and man.
ayers who are virtually government
officials.
In next weeks Progressive Far
mer the land credit system of other
European countries will be describ-
ed.

SOME QUESTIONS.

Haley please answer the following
questions to settle an argument at
the place work: Is the Teachers
Federation composed mostly of
Roman Catholics? Are its officers
Roman Catholics? Are 70 per cent
of our school teachers Catholics? Are
two-thirds of our school board Cath
olics? Was this school war started by
Protestants to keep the church out
of our schools? Why is Bishop Null
doom interfering with our schools?
How many teachers in the parochiaI
schools are Protestants? How many
of the parochial school board are
Protestants? Now, Miss Haley, we
will look for an early reply in The Day
Book and will abide by your answer.

lous politicians will, of course, make
political capital out of religious diff
ferences.
Nevertheless, we must recognize
the fact that the Catholic church is
not progressive force We, in Amer
lea, believe that notwithstanding it's
limitations democratic form of gov
eminent is the most desirable. De-
mocracy, however, is only possible
when the citizen possesses the power
of individual initiative. This may be
accomplished by the spread of knowl-
edge and the growth of intelligence
among the masses.
The Catholic church, like many &C.
clesiastical organizations, is auto
cratic in form. Holding it's commune
cants by faith and not by reason, it
tends to discourage the development
of those faculties which citizens of
democracy must possess.

by the constitution, does not carry

The Catholics have a perfect right
to object to such criticism which is

Much of the rancor and bitterness,
however, attending the religious con-

if Catholics would recognize the fact

combating it is by the diffusion of
scientific knowledge-D. F.

When a policeman enters your place
of business, clothed in uniform, you
can gamble he has loaded revolver
in his pocket. His appearance, there
fore, inspires awe, if not terror So
when he bulldozingly and ignorantly
tells you the number of tickets you
must purchase, leaving you no dis
erection in the matter, you begin to
wonder whether you are in Russia or
Chicago.
Let me cite two instances: A po-
Iceman in uniform called on real

tickets for the annual benefit in the
