LABORATORY OF THOUGHT.

Kansas and Wisconsin are
now running neck and neck
when it comes to freak legisla-
ton. The odds are all in favor
of Kansas, the unique state of
the Union. Wisconsin has as
serted claim which must be
recognized. There is according
to the Postal Guide, a town near
Lacrosse, which is indexed
'Waukon." In this little town
an ordinance has been passed
and is being enforced which
might interest the rest of the
country. A day is set aside
every year and is designated
sBring-It-Ba Day Those
who borrow property, those who
borrow anything of a borrowable
nature, are supposed on this
particular day to bring it back,
and if they do not comply with
the municipal edict. the town
marshall goes after the borrow
ed article and brings it back any
way-that is, if he can get it.
In Kansas, the "Pay-Up-W
celebration has been a fruitful
success and the Sind week of
the year almost everybody who
is in a position to make restitu-
ton does his and her best to do
so. Debt is the secret foe of
thrift. The debt habit is the
twin brother of poverty. The
great trouble of the country is
the credit system. An unknown
man with scarcely any trouble,
can obtain credit. This encour-
ages many to go wrong. People
who have credit and do a credit
business buy more than they
need. To keep clear in the eyes
of the world, operate on a cash
basis. This is not always posi-
Bile. Some people have to de-
pend on credit to exist, but when
they are in this position they
must understand that they are
standing on the brink of disaster.
In these two laboratories of
thought laws have been enacted
which may seem foolish, but
there is logic in both. In Meth
er case will the laws be hold
constitutional, but at the same
time they encourage some people
to do the right thing and pay up.
A small debt, many argue, pro-
duces a friend. This is why
credits are SO easily obtained,
but it must be remembered that
q large debt creates an enemy.
The pay-up week idea and bring
it-back day in Wisconsin are not
80 foolish after all. There is so
much method in legislation that
it should not be ridiculed. The
first step in debt is like the first
step in falsehood. 1t must be
followed up until one is hopeless
ly involved. Pay up, bring it
back, keep yourself clear. The
way. then will be free of obstacles.

Regulations for Lent.

Ash Wednesday, the first dav of

4. The following persons are exempt
from obligations of fasting: Persons

through weakness. cannot fast without
great prejudice to their health
8. The faithful are reminded that.
besides the obligations of fasting i'm
posed by the Church, this holy season a
Lent should be, in an especial manner,
time of earnest prayer, of sorrow for

CANADA FIELD PEAS SHOULD BE
SOWN EARLY.

Canada field peas are especially

and the northern tier of states where
there is sufficient moisture In Mary.
land they will succeed much better III
the northern and mountainous sections
of the State than elsewhere.
Like the garden pea, they will not
make much growth after hot. muggy
weather sets in, along about harvest
time or little before, and for that
reason should not be considered in
the light of grain crop with mix
ture of oats as they are in the north,
ern states and Canada.
Where oats is sown in the spring for
soiling or for hay the feeding value
may be greatly increased by mixing
Canada field peas with the oats. The
quantity of seed per acre varies from
IL bushels of oats and liz bushels
of peas to 2 bushels of each. 1t is very
important that the crop should be
sown in early spring, for the earlier
the crop is planted the greater will
be the likelihood of the maximum re
turns. rs both oats and peas suffer in
the hot days of late spring and early
summer. Although some growers
recommend that the peas be planted
much deeper than the oats and a few
days before planting the oats, there is,
however, no good reason for this prac-
tice, as experiments have shown that
even distribution and as large yields
can be secured when the oats and peas
are mixed together with the grain drill
and seeded together.
Where land has never grown garden
or field peas ii is usually advisable 10
inoculate, otherwise the growth will
not be sufficient to pay for the seed
and the extra labor.

No! The highest and best culture

world-this we cannot do without
knowing something of the thoughts of
our poets. our philosophers, our his

Some Oppose Annexation.

DIR. Aked interviewed in Berlin a
number of the men who in July last is
sued a protest against the suggested
annexation of Belgium. This protest
described annexation as "a political
blunder fraught with grave conse-
quences and calculated not to strength
en-. but fatally to weaken the German
empire" and further stated: I'VE sub
scribe to the principle that the policy
of absorption or annexation in the case
of peoples accustomed to political inde-
pendence is to be rejected"
This utterance is voice that moth
ing can silence" said DR.. Aked. But
of course these moderate men are not
the only men of influence of Germany
and will not have matters their own
way when it comes to a settlement. Be
party there is constant strife.
The continuance of the war, the ma
ture and conduct of the war are issues
sharply drawn between a better Ger

of more Importance to the world as to
Which of these parties shall win in

tory and uncompromising in her tri-
umph, or else the world must look with
upon years of fiercer war; while

civilization are utterly destroyed"

courage him, however, as to Germany's
possible attitude after the war toward

OYSTER SEASON WAS HEAVY.
City Sold 81, ,642 Bushels of Shells at
the Wharf.

According to the shell record in the
office of the market master in charge
of the oyster wharf, more oysters
were shucked there in the past season
than for several years. The records
show that 91.642 bushels of oyster
shells were sold by the District and
shipped to the shell crushing plant at
Alexandria, where they were converted
into crushed shell for poultry use and
into shell lime.
This does not represent by any means
the quantity of oysters lander at the
wharf in the season of 1856, as fully
two thirds Of the total cargoes brought
there were sold to uptown dealers and
shucked away from the wharf. These
shells were also sent to Alexandria,
but do not figure in the records of the
wharf market master.
The records for 1914-15 show that
59,746 bushels of shells were sold at
the wharf by the market ma9ter.
