washinaton,. Wet Army.

We are now accustomed to secir.e the demon rum kicked out of whole empires. Armies, by imperial edlct, become dry as desert camels.
 Washington's army, on the contrary, might drink all the liquor it could pay for, and even officers became intoxicat- ed on duty and received but slight pun ishment. To David Lewis. one of our most painstaking students of history, 1 am indebted for the record of an m- teresting court martial due to bottle of rum.
 Lieutenant Bunburg was in com mand of the Statehouse guard-it is officially referred to as the Statehouse -one day in May, 17T7. Not only was he intoxicated himself, but he carried liquor to his own troops and neglected his duty for hours.
 His punishment was suspension of command and pay for one fortnight. Major Nicola was president of the court and James Sharswood judge ad- vocate.
 After Nicola had become a general he was chairman of that unique com mittee which offered crown to Wash ington.-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Land of Lost Beauty.

Is there any land for lost and lovely things-sunsets and jeweled nights and emotions that have been perfectly beautiful and that just aren't alive any more? If there isn't, there ought to be-some heaven where they could go on living and forever fulfilling their loveliness. This is not a personal sor- row, and yet I ache with it. As I sit here in my old llaids corner I am as tranquil as if l had realized matri- mony; l am busy and happy and just as much alive as most of my married friends. Of course they pity me; they feel as if life had passed me by, and. in a way, it has, but I am infinitely sorrier for them, for they have lost something that I never had, and most of them don't even know that they have lost it. That's the real tragedy of it. Doesn't anything ever last? Or were Francesca and Juliet eternally happy because they could die-and keep their dreams? wonder!-At- lantic.

fLkNiS Ha yL URiiI4AL
  ST&GES EARLY IN LIFE
Need Available Food Then to Mature High Quality Product.

There are certain stages during the growth of crops which may be called critical periods. Adverse conditions at such times seriously injure the plants. cut down yields and impair he quality of the product. For the small grains the time from a few days before the flowers open until the kernels are fully filled and begin to solidify is the criti cal period. The tiny grain kernels have just been started at this period and require careful nourishing with proper plant food if they are to mature into first class grain.
 The critical period for corn occurs at the time when the pollen begins to drop upon the silks. For potatoes the period between the time when the tiny tubers first begin to set until they are fully grown is the critical period. Few potatoes are well started, and inferior quality results when there is a short age of plant food to nourish them. If a proper variety has been chosen and if good seed is planted after the ground has been well prepared, the quality and quantity of the crop will depend upon the supply of plant food and the weath- CT conditions which prevail.

WITHOUT WHICH THERE
 IS NOTHING DOING.
Plants Tust Feed, Just as Animals
 Feed, to Grow.

A rich soil is the first essential to good farming. Too often we forget that and try to skimp along, hoping to make crops grow without any plant food to do it on. If plants are to grow they must feed, just as animals feed If we could only see the plants mouths in the roots among the soil particles we would better understand the crying need of soil fertility and we would be more prompt always to have 1t SUD- piled Now is the time to plan for making the soil of every field rich soil. Animal manures carefully con served, commercial fertilizers rational ly and literally applied and green ma nures plowed under in proper envi- ronment, each or all, will turn the trick. But plant food you must get. As the lawyers would say, it is the sine qua non-without which nothing doing-of good farming.-Glenn C. Hayes, Editor American Farming.

resolution, as requested by the presi- dent
 Senator Jones' veteran of many con vention frays, led the administration fight on the floor. He roared down op- position in forcing the final vote with it's dragnet declaring all resolutions and substitutes on the question t. their official death.
 It was necessary then for senators to express themselves as to warning and on the question of the killing of an American on an unwarned merchant man as cause for war in one vote.
 For that reason Senator Gore voted to table because he did not favor his own substitute and had introduced it merely to get an expression of the sen ate on that issue.
 Cores surprising and unexplained eleventh hour move in offering what was practically new resolution and an ultimatum to the central powers caused several senators to change their votes
 The vote for the president. including ns it did those of Senators Stone and Gore, was the result of the amendment Gore offered.
 Senators considered this would prac- tically amount to notice upon Germany that war would be declared by the United States upon the killing of sin gle American by submarine attack ing merchantmen without warning.

A superstitious Musician.

Schumann was always inclined to superstition. When he visited Beetho- ven's grave at Vienna he found rusty steel pen lying on it. This he carefully and reverently preserved and after. ward used in writing his B flat sym phony. believing that it would bring him inspiration. But this superstition, harmless enough in his early years. became accentuated later in an. alarm, ing manner. He began to take an un- healthy interest in table turning and spirit rapping. He was, moreover. in tensely influenced by dreams and omens. One night he dreamed that the spirits of Mendelssohn and Schubert appeared to him and gave him q theme which he afterward wrote down and developed

FACTS ON FERTILITY.
Basis of All Agriculture Is Proper Use
 of Plant Food.

The basis of all agriculture is fertil- ity, and the experience of farmers in general in the New England. eastern, southern and middle western states proves that the judicious use of com mercial fertilizers is the key to ration al, businesslike, profitable farming. The gigantic feats in producing food from the soil accomplished by the em- embattled nations of Europe becomes possible solely because they have ap- preciated and understood the value and use of available plant food. His tory confirms the statement that avail able plant food along with proper soil tillaEe s fundamental and brings the largest arm profits.--professor Henry G. Bel tgronomisr.

WHAT SENATE VOTED ON
 IN SUBMARINE ISSUE.
Gore,s Original Resolution


 Whereas. A number of leading powers of the world are now en- gagged in a war of unexampled pro- portions; and
 Whereas, The United States is happily at peace with all of the bel ligerent nations; and
 Whereas, The president has re- gently afforded fresh and signal proofs of the superiority of diplo- macy to butchery as a method of settling international disputes: and,
 Whereas, The right of American citizens to travel on unarmed bel ligerent vessels has recently receiv- ed renewed guarantees of respect and invio1ability; and,
 Whereas, The right of American citizens to travel on armed bellig- erent vessels rather than upon un- armed vessels is essential neither to their life, liberty or safety nor to : the independence, dignity or secur- ity of the United States: and, : Whereas. Congress alone has been vested with the power to declare war, which involves the obligations to prevent war by all proper means consistent with the honor and vital interest of the nation: therefore, be 1t {
 Resolved. By the senate. the house of representatives concurring. that 1t is the sense of the congress, vest ed as 1t is. with the sole power to declare war, that all persons owing allegiance to the United States should in behalf of their own safe ty and the vital interest of the United States forbear to exercise the right to travel as passengers upon any armed vessel of a bellig- erent power, whether such vessel be armed for offensive or defensive purposes. and it Is the further sense of the congress that no passport should be issued or renewed by the secretary of state, or by any one acting under him, to be used by any person owing allegiance to the Unit ed States for the purpose of travel upon any such armed vessel of belligerent power.
 Substitute For Last Paragraph.
 Resolved, That the sinking by a German submarine without notice or warning of an armed merchant vessel of her public enemy, result ing in the death of a citizen of the United States. would constitute a just and sufficient cause of war be- tween the United States and the German empire.

By vote of 6S to IA administration Cores resolution to warn Americans off the armed ships of the European beIligerents and thereby finally quelled fn the senate an agitation which has embarrassed President Wilson in the submarine negotiations with Germany. 1, The house postponed action. It was decided that not before Tuesday would a vote be taken. Supporters of the president in his stand for the right of Americans to safety aboard merchant. men bearing arms repeated that there was no uncertainty that the house sooner or later would follow the lead Of the senate in killing the warning proposals.
 Senator Cores resolution, substi. tute by Senator McCumber, a Repub- Mean. and an attempt by Senator Gore to strengthen his original proposal. all were defeated at one time on roll call 0n a motion by Senator James, one of the administration whips, to table them The administration victory in the senate transferred the fight to the house.
 The roll call on Senator James, mo- ton to table the Gore resolution and all substitutes, was as follows Z Yeas = Ashurst, Bankhead, Beckham Brandegee. Broussard. Burleigh, Chil ton,.

 After the defeat of the Gore resolu ton was accomplished the senate could not be held down any longer, and the administration leaders took fhe id of long enough to let those who had views air them.
 Action Is Criticised.
 Borah termed the senates actior "degradation." Sherman termed i "cowardice. evasion, cringing," in as serting the United States was zap preaching peace or war"
 That the vote was not final action b, the senate was strongly intimated by many senators.
 Senator McCumber reintroduced hi. warming resolution in practically tn, form in which it was tabled. and other warning resolutions are also in pros pect.
