"Break Your Match i'm Two"

One day late in June a man in a
room on the seventh floor of an old
fashioned brick building in Washing
ton, holding sheaf of kilograms in
his left hand, was busy with his right
taking red-headed pins out of his
mouth and sticking them into little
irregular blocks of green ink scat

'The big problem, he said, taking
fresh pin out of his mouth and
turning sidewise to his assistant, lis
to get at this fellow who knows what
conservation is but forgets to apply it
when he lights up cigar in the
woods
The assistant sat in fat-topped
oak desk in the middle of the room
struggling through a mass of reports
from field men in the endeavor to
find suggestions for a set of fire-pre-
vention rules
"Well, what do you think of this?''
he said, holding up a report from the
Pacific Northwest: Break your
match in two before you throw it
away"
The other man stuck the last red
pin into the map, reached for his
pipe, and lighted it.
Lets see,' he said. He snapped
the burning match in his fingers; as
the pieces dropped to the floor he ut
tered a sharp exclamation and ten
derly licked the index finger of his
left hand.
The assistant laughed. That S

New Kind of Cotton.

By what appears to have been the
merest chance in the world, a new
kind of cotton has been discovered
and developed in Georgia, in which
the government has interested itself.
= A couple of years ago a man by
the name of A. G. Spiller, Pike coun-
ty, farming near GAINESVILLE, receiv-
ed a shipment of goods from Europe
and in the packing were several
seeds having much the appearance
of cotton seed. Out of curiosity he
planted them and from the first
planting grew what was peculiar
stalk of cotton 1t was carefully
cared for and the seed were planted
the past season. Out of the second
planting other stalks were grown and
from them was gathered about 25
pounds of lint cotton. 1t is very
fine texture resembling closely wool.
The staple has been exhibited to a
number of people, among them ag-
ricuItural experts, and has attracted
a great deal of attention. From a
number of sources where the cotton
had been heard Of, or by those who
have seen it, Mr.. Spiller was offered
a dollar each for the seed, but he
declined to sell.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the agricultural depart
ment in Washington, and announce
ment is now made that experts are
to be sent to Pike county to make
a survey of the soil and an examina-
ton of the product and conditions
under which it was produced. In
order to make further experiments
it is said the federal department will,
if it finds it necessary to trace the
origin of the seed, secure lot OF
them and find out what can be done
with the new cotton in this section

How it Worked.

The commanding officer of a corps
was much troubled about the persist
ent untidiness of one OF his men. Re-
primand and punishment were una
vailing. The man was incorrigiEle
and remained as dirty as ever.
A brilliant idea struck the colonel:
Why not march him up and down
the whole line Of the regiment and
shame him into decency?
1t was done. The untidy warrior,
who hailed from Emerald Isle, was
ordered to exhibit himself and
march up and down the entire regi-
ment, and the men to have a good
look at him.
The unabashed Pat halted, salUt-
ed the colonel and said in the bear
ing of the whole corps, with the ut
most angfroid:

A lifetime is travelled road between

The stream of Once-Upon-a-Time;

A lifetime is portage through a

So grab your load, my broth

And take the road my brother
The mountain road, my broth
Where the hill of present worry
bows the head and bends the
knee,
We are taking up our burdens and
our hearts are unafraid.
And though the way be weary and
the journey many mile,
We are taking up our burdens with
smile.
Who brought you here, my brother?
All, your captain is unknown.
And what your cargo? Little things
that go to make up you.
And whittier bound? You know not
But the trifling things you own
For good or i'll, my brother,
Grow with the hill, my broth

The trying hill, my brother,
That strengthens while it tires
you; that wears, then builds
anew.
We are taking up our burdens that
are growing with the years.
We are taking up our burdens of ex-

But the love that lightens labor helps
the weary feet along.
So we're taking up our burdens with
a song!

BETHEA TELLS OF HIS TRIP.
Says it Seems Almost Like Il Miracle
That He is Left to Tell the Story.

Columbia, Jan. 23.-A ]. Bethea,
lieutenant governor OF South Caro-
lima, after undergoing many hard
ships and disagreeable experiences
as member of the Ford peace par
ty, returned this morning from New
York, where he landed yesterday af-
ter tempestuous trip across the At
lantic on the liner New York. 1T
seems almost like miracle that
am left to tell the story said Mr..
Bethea today in describing his ex-
periences.
Mr.. Bethea thinks that the sympa-
thies of the people of Norway, Den
mark and Holland are with the en-
tente allies, while the citizens Of
Sweden favor the central powers, be-
cause of an old grudge against Rus
sia
The lieutenant governor interest
ingly describes his trip through Ger
many. He says that before you en-
ter Germanic territory, your person
and belongings are put through a
thorough search. He was stripped
to the skin, and his belongings min
utely scrutinized; even his medicines
were poured on the fire to test if they
were explosives. ''These Germans
do things thoroughly, said Mr.. Be-
thea, in describing the Teutons. He
thinks that their efficiency would be
a good thing for the American peo-
pie.
HOtbed of Mines.
eThe North sea is a hotbed Of
mines," said the South Carolinian in
describing the passage of ship, pre-

mines every minute.
1.-The country is beginning to real
ize that it is at war and both people
and the powers-that-be seem resolved
now to fight to fnish,' said Mr..
Bethea in giving his impressions OF
the awakening of England to the
stupendousness of the conflict in
which they are engaged.
Mr.. Bethea says Henry Ford is an
unselfsh, big-hearted man, of whom
too much cannot be said in praise.
He is a man, said the lieutenant gov
ernor, who would spend his entire
fortune for peace. Measured by mo-
tive and purpose, Mr.. Bethea said
that the peace pilgrimage was sue
cessful, in that peace talk had been
started among the neutral and bel
ligerent nations.

ter place to live in if we had more

Potash Deposits.

William P. Brooks, of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college, con-
tributes to the. Springfield Republi-
can a letter on the potash problem. A
previous correspondent, w. n. Nc
Crillis, said that there was potash
in plenty" Mr.. Brooks thus replies:
The most common rocks of New
England are rich in potash. Mr.. Nc
Crillis, however, goes on to state that
Z this potash is extremely cheap and
soluble. | will deny that it is cheap,
but the fact is, Mr.. McCrillis to the
contrary Notwithstanding, that it is
not soluble by natural agencies nor
is it made so to any appreciable ex-
: tent by the action of the living plant.
There is, it is true, much differ
fence in soils in respect to the quantl-
3ty of potash which they can furnish
to- the growing plant, but there is no
doubt that the supply in the great
Nnaiority of our soils is much below
What is required to produce satisfac-
tory crops.
Mr.. McCrillis asserts that the pot
ash in our feldspathic rocks becomes
very soluble and available for plant
life if only it be ground extremely
fine. It happens that this question
has been tested very thoroughly in
this experiment station over long
series of years-1908 to 1914, in
elusive. In this series of experiments
the use of soluble potash salts gave
large increases in practically all
crops. The use of finely ground
feldspar, from which the manufactur-
ers claimed that the potash was
available, gave no appreciable in
crease.
it was compared with soluble pot
ash salts in five different series of ex-
periments. In one it was used in
such quantity as to furnish the same
amount Of potash as was contained
in the salts; in the second series IN
quantity to furnish double potash; !;
3 in third in quantity to furnish three
times; in fourth, four times, and
in fifth. series, five times the
amount furnished by the potash salts.
s Even where used in the largest guam
tity the fine ground feldspar gave no
increase in crop. The yield was sub
stantially the same as on plots SINH
Iarly treated in all other respects,
but left without potash over a long
series of years.
It is certainly to be hoped that a
method will some time be found to
render the potash contained in our
feldspathic rocks available, but the
fact is no such method which is com
nercially practicable is at present
known, and the New England farmer
who should depend upon fine ground
feldspar as a source of potash on
soils and on crops requiring that ele-
ment, would certainly be doomed to
tment.-Indianap News.
