After search lasting more

charge of defrauding the U. s.

ing a 1O-year term because he
made the mistake of assuming
that Uncle Sam wasn't very anx-
iOus to catch men who used the
mails to defraud.
This trusty is an expert with
the Wasserman system. He has
resumed his study of medicine
during his Imprisonment, and Is
acting as assistant prison surgeon
and orderly at the prison hospital.
Every new prisoner who comes
to McNeil's island, is subjected to
the Wasserman tests. No case
of BLACK plague" or. other latent
ailment can possibly get into the
prison without detection. And
any prisoner who is Ill with an
infectious disease is instantly
placed in an isolated ward and
kept there until he is cured.

one of the strongest disinfectants
known, after every shave. There

place so clean and sanitary as
this.
"Why say, there isn't chance
for man studying medicine to
get any experience here. It's
only once I'm long time that q
prisoner even suffers an accident
while at work, and Is brought
here.
I'VE get a few cases in the
hospitar, but most of them are
from prisoners who have eaten
too much, or who simply want to
come here and rest, rather than
work.
The only complaint I've \ 1t to
make is that they feed the pris-
oners too much, and the food is
too rich. We get eggs twice a
week for breakfast Just think
of It! Some of these lower class
prisoners never had good meal
until they came here. And the
result is that they fill themselves
up until they are stuffy and ILL.,"

THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture Is
 Effective Cumulative Method.

There is every reason to expect a bad year for bitter rot this year, and there is only one way to fight it. Prun- ing last winter would have helped AL so spraying about June 20 would have aided. But it is now too late for either of these and should the dread ed bitter rot appear in your orchard it means either fight or quit.
 The way to fight is to spray at once with homemade Bordeaux mixture, then, as soon as the orchard has been covered go over it again with the same mixture. Everything depends upon getting a perfect coating of the mixture on the fruit early in the fight After the first double spraying, a sin gle spraying with the same mixture after two weeks will be necessary. Af. ter this it will depend upon the weather how much other spraying must be done.
 The Bordeaux mixture is made of bluestone, ten pounds, good fresh lime. ten pounds. water to make a hundred gallons. The mixture is made by a special method that cannot be ex- plained here for want of space. Full directions may be had by getting Bull letin IA and Circular 21, from the Ex. pertinent Station at Fayetteville.

OF BACTERIA
 0N SO|L FERTILITY
Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing Cost of Fertilizer Bills By Conserv ing Supply of Nitrogen.

The relation of soil bacteriology to soll fertility and the methods of pre- serving this fertility by means of these bacteria is gradually becoming matter of study
 A number of the experiment sta tions are becoming interested in this work and 1t is time indeed that some thing was being done along this line
 Expense to Farmer.
 Fifty millions of dollars is the annual fertilizer bill of American farmers. Most of this Is paid by far. mers of twenty of the eastern states, as commercial fertilizers are used but very little, at present, in the middle west or western states. Nitrogen Is usually the element of plant food which is lacking, and this is also far more costly than any other clements or plant foods. The supply of avail able nitrogen fertilizer, namely so- alum nitrate is decreasing very rapid " While the demand is increasing In this way the fertilizer bill of American farmers will in a few years be some thing enormous unless some new method is developed.
 The principle part played by bac- teria in soil fertility is the gathering or this much needed nitrogen and con- verting 1t into form available for plant food
 Factors Aiding Bacteria.
 some of the factors which aid the bacteria ill this work are: the addi ton of manure which adds not only plant food but large numbers of these bacteria; the addition of lime to cor. rect the acidity in acid soils as these bacteria cannot work in an acid me- dium; the proper stirring of the soil which gives oxygen and sufficient aeration, and lastly: the growing of legume crops which Is perhaps the greatest aid of any of the above men, tioned factors in securing nitrogen for plant food
 Time For Results.
 The greatest difficulty encountered in this work is the fact that it takes two or three years and a series of crops to show any marked improve ment in soil, but it is to be hoped that it will reach a state of develop ment where a soil will show a marked improvement in one year and thus take the place of the nitrogenous con- mercial fertilizers.

 The present Administration, which has given the United States a new cur rency system and new conservation policy, should put one more construc- tive achievement to it's credit. The old days of "muddling along" with the question of military preparedness, spending a little more or a little less without any definite goal or standard ought to be brought summarily to an an end. Let us have definite policy outlined, canvassed, debated Let us be as wise in spending something like S270,OO0,O00 a year in building an army and navy as We are when we spend $5000 to build an addition to a Government warehouse.

EXCEPTIONAL PROGRESS

T., round numbers there were 22- Aoo mo persons enrolled in education ;..+;tntions in the United States in Io14 according to the Annual Report the Commissioner of Education ,,st issued. Of these over 19,OOO,OOO ,,ore in elementary schools; 1874 ,OOO secondary schools, both public and brivate; and 216,OOO in colleges and ,n;versities. Close to another hundred {housand were in normal schools pre- baring to be teachers, 67,O00 were in Professional schools, and the remain 5er were scattered through other types 4 institutions. The teachers for this Educational army numbered 100000 bf whom 566,OOO were in public (cbools. In point of rapid growth the bublc high school still presents the host impressive figures; the enroll hent for 1914 is greater by over 84,- Roo than for the year before.
 The cost of education for this year, Is estimated by the Bureau, was $780, bOOOOO. "This three-quarters of a Million is a relatively small amount when compared with other items in the public expense" declares the report. Fit is less by $3O0,O0O,O00 than the lost of running the Federal Govern hent; it is less than one-third the Ma lions expenditure for alcoholic li- Duors; it is only a little over three hines the estimated cost of admissions o moving picture theatres in the Unit Id States for the same year, Meaus- Id in terms of products of the soil, he United States spent somewhat hore for education in 1914 than the Faue of its cotton crop, somewhat less han the value of its wheat crop, and less than half the value of the annual harvest of corn; while the Nations bill or education was less by nearly a hundred millions than the value of the xports from the harbor of New York the calendar year just passed"
 Very little increase is yet to be oted in the average term for public choos. Between 1910 and 1913 the Increase was from 1875 days a year to 5S.1-a growth of only -tenths of
 day in three years. Attendance has Improved, however. The average num- Ter of days attended by each person nrolled increased from 1l3 in 1910 to l5.6 in 1913.

A July Mystery.

From the Globe-Democrat.
 We are puzzled. Our morning con- temporary is making desperate, dou- ble-lunged attempt to rally the local Democracy for municipal campaign some two years hence. Two years, one leap year, is a long time, 731 days, 17,544 hours, 1,052,64O minutes. Just think of it! To be sure, it isn't quite two years until the next city election but after deducting four months. our contemporary is still S77,- 440 minutes before the battle. Why this haste, this urgency, this extreme previousness? Why this wild alarm in time of profound peace? Why this bugle call to arms when the enemy is feasting in his tents, or at tending strictly to his knitting, serenly unconscious of the perils of a conflict so dimly distant?
