SOIL FERTILITY IN GARDENS
Without It Farmer Cannot Expect to
Realize High Profits-Grow Some
Leouminous Crop.

A primary consideration in every
gardening project is to make and keep
the soil as fertile as possible. With
out high fertility we cannot hope to
realize high profits. Use lime OCCASION
ally so that the clovers will thrive. See
that an ample supply of PHOSPHORUS
is furnished all crops. Grow greer
manurial crops as much as possible.
Take care of the stable manure pro
duced on your own place and use it
where it will do the most good. Buy
stable manure when the price is right.

"The Eternal City," which opened at
the Aston theatre last Monday, marks
the passing of another milestone in
film history. There have been larger
productions such as "The Birth of a
Nation" and "Cabira," but these have
been in the nature of spectacles; big
sets with thousands of people and a
thin story to give the film substance.
"The Eternal City," however, is
purely dramatic story. While it has
several large scenes they are only in
cidcntal; they never overshadow the
story. believe that this picture marks
an epoch of big stories produced by
big directors, and featuring big actors.
