When one considers Just. two
facts regarding, 'leguIbes," these
should"be sufficient to give them+a
more proninent t place IN Southern
agriculture: They. gather nitrogen
from the air and store. it in their,
bodies, or leave it in the soil, They
are thus the best and cheapest
source suof : nitrogen and humus,
the two greatest needs of Southern:
soils.--,s,;.' 2ie4t ~ a.@.r tHtt ryfG
But the other fact is scarcely less
important. Animals must have pro-
tein, proteinfnot only contains mi
trogen for tissue-building OF, muscle
but also mineral matter for
bone and frame building. Legumes
are the richest of all our farm
plants protein-nitrogen. In other
words, the legumes at once, feed
both our soils and our livestock and
ourselves best. If these are facts,
and they are, it would seem that
legumes ought to have a more i'm.
portant place in our cropping sys-

| a large majority of the present sub
scribers signifying their willingness to
pay the increased rates. The petition,
upon which franchise will be later
asked by the Bell company provides a
sliding scale of rates. The rates which
will be placed in effect after the COM
pany takes over the plant and I'M
proves the service will be based upon
| 1000 stations. The Bell company will
| also provide for season phones for a
period of three months or less and
will not charge the year rate, as has
been customary by the local company
in the past The schedule of rates for
yearly contracts is as follows:
Special line business stations, 81 per
month.

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men, sent by their communities to
cert measures for securing their rights Eng
lishmen," became convinced that these could
be obtained save by ceasing to be British sub
jects' and declaring themselves american citi-
zens."
Let us look behind the formal phrases Of the
immortal Declaration to the faith Of these men
and Of the people for whom they spoke What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the justice OF their and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed In themselves: in their ability to
do right and justice. They believed in the COM
petence OF stalwart manhood to govern itself and
to provide for the common welfare. They be-
leved they could make better arrangements in
government than men had made before them.
They believed in themselves in their people, in
America
Americans of late have done n great deal of
fault finding with America. There is not so much

what make Americans proud of their own
