The Herald feels that it is its du-
ty to promote the interests of Bam-
berg and Bamberg county in every
way that it can consistently do So.
And when an entertainment or meet
ing is to be held (when not for
money-making purposes) we are al
ways glad to give as much free pub
licity to it as we think it merits; yet
we are just old-fogey enough to think
that it is not our unbounden duty
to give freely and willingly of our
space and money, in typesetting, to
anybody or anything when that some
body or something takes all Of its
work for which it has to pay to some
place other than this Office. In other
words if The Herald is not to have
any OF the paid work, we will most
respectfully decline to give our time
and space in doing the free work.

ARMY OF O6,OOO.
To Be Backed by Federalized Nation
al Guard Force of 100000.

Washington, May ia standing
army of 100000 fighting men, capa-
BILE of being expanded in emergency
to $4,000, and backed by federal
lied National Guard of 425, 900 as a
reserve, finally was agreed on today
by house and senate cOnfereeS on the
army bill. This would give a total
peace strength of 631 900 men. The
agreement will be reported to con-
gress early next week, and the meas
ure, the first OF the administration
preparedness bills, is expected to be
before President Wilson for his sig
nature soon afterwards.
Advocates of adequate national de-
fence regard the conference agree
ment as a triumph. The compromise
between the house and senate meas
ures was effected after weeks OF
struggle against an insistent demand
from house conferees for a standing
army of only 100000 men, and until
today it had appeared that the senate
might be forced to yield. The senate
bill provided for 100000.
The minimum enlisted strength
would~be attained under the confer
ence agreement within the next five
years, and it is stipulated that at no
time shall the total be less than 16O,-
900.

We do not consider that our con-
tract with our subscribers calls upon
us to tell them what they want to
know, or what we would like them
sto know. According to the way we
figure it, it is up to us to do the best
we can in the way of telling them
what is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES En-
quirer.
Our esteemed contemporary has
expressed this most admirably. There
are a good many people who know
more about running newspapers than
the publishers do, We all have a
good many shortcomings, and the
newspaper fraternity, we presume, is
not an exception to this rule. But,
like the little Hindoo, We do the best

Making a Compost.

"Fertilizers are so high and the
percentages of potash so low that
am thinking of making a compost OF
woods earth and stable manure.
want to know if l can grow Irish and
sweet potatoes with woods mold
lime and lye water added in a com
post. Is there any potash in Eank
growth of cotton stalks plowed un-
der? What kind of fertilizer shall
use for Irish potatoes on land that
was last year in peas and pastured
off by hogs? Will l get more potash
by plowing my potato ground very
deep? Is there any way in which
can tell which of my lands contain
the most potash? Can I grow pota-
toes with stable manure and salt?'
A compost of black woods mold
and stable manure will certainly
help the growth of crops. But a mix
ture of woods mold, lime and lye
from the concentrated can lye will
not amount to much. The can lye is
not potash, but caustic soda, and is
Of no use as a fertilizer. Woods
mold mixed with a little lime might
do for some things, but would hardly
make a good potato crop. Irish po-
tatoes are apt to grow scabby if lime
is used.
There is some potash in all vege-
table growth and there will doubt,
less be little of it in cotton stalks
But in your section any farmer who
farms right and stores organic mat,
ter in his soil and lines once in five
years and uses acid phosphate lib
orally, will never need to buy potash
To grow Irish potatoes make a
mixture of equal parts of cottonseeo
meal and acid phosphate of the IL
per cent. grade and use 1000 pounds
an acre. The meal will carry lit
tie potash and the organic matter
left by the peas will have released
some more. Five hundred pounds
of the same will grow sweet pota
toes.
By deep plowing you may get more
available potash, but as to that
think it is uncertain, but the deer
blowing will be all right.
AS rule our red clay soils con
tain more potash than the gray, bu
the amount of potash in any soil cal
only be determined by chemica
ANALYSIS, and it is usually insolublf
and can be made available by thf
methods to which l have referred
You can grow potatoes with stable
manure, but the salt will not help
for it is not a fertilizer. The mai1
difficulty with the manure is that i
may promote the growth of the seal
fungus.-Progressive Farmer.

"Pan-America" will be an accom-
plished fact in event of an American
conflict with Germany!
The naval forces of Argentina
Brazil, and Chile will be placed al
the disposal of the United States!
This is the answer to critics who
have condemned the diplomacy Of
President Wilson in Mexico!
Germany knows it-and there is
one big reason Germany will strive
to avert a Pan-American crisis.
"Watchful waiting" and the for
bearance of the United States after
the Villa attack on Columbus, n. NJ.
have brought about this diplomatic
triumph. Latin-American distrust
of Uncle Sans intentions in Mexico
has been turned to confidence in
American leadership in the inter
national crisis brought about by Ger
many's U-boat campaign.
What South Americans Think.
Many South Americans now fee
that we have gone as far as possible
to save Mexico from her own internal
troubles, and would not object now
even to sintervention on the part OF
the United States, according to Sen
ator Fletcher, who has just returned
from the southern continent with the
international high commission.
They regard our patience with
Mexico as ample proof We do not
seek to dominate all the Americas, .

the A. B. G.. powers will back the

this nation undertakes to stop fur
Their subsea attacks on neutral com

Some officials predict that break

Brazil is Angry.
Brazil is already sizzling with an
ger against Germany because of the
sinking of the Brazilian steamer Rio
Grande, supposedly by German sub
marine. Newspapers in Rio de ia
neiro, Brazils capital, are clamoring
for participation in the war.
If the navies of the A. B. c. ma
tions are added to that of the United
States, the Pan-American fleet will
rank second only to that of Great
Britain.
The allied American powers would
then have 21 dreadnoughts, 81 bat

cruisers, 73 destroyers and 80 sub
marines.

BANKER AND BORROWER

In defining the relations betweel
banker and retail grocer Richard p
Joy, president OF the National Bank
Of Commerce OF Detroit recently said
Tha first inclination OF every bank
er, venture to say. Is a desire 10 ac
commodate prospective borrower
Judgment and common sense, howev
err instantly arise to PROFOUND the
questions this man or his company
worthy OF credit? A successful bank
er Is cautious, and his business OF car
ing for the money other people have
entrusted to his care demands that he
exercise good Judgment In place Of
sympathy when the average merchant
asks a loan
Business men who are worthy Of
credit need have no fear-they can OBJ
tain any reasonable accommodation
which they may require. when they
need Il. On the other hand, In some
instances to grant loans would work
a positive injury not only to the bor-
rover but to tta t5aFs Borrowing
sometimes teaches oae business hab-
iGs and leads 10 undue and unwise ex.
pansion OF mans business. often
times far beyond prudent or safe lines.
The business man who comes to
look upon money borrowed from a
bank az permanent working capital
may awaken some stormy day to the
fact that his bark Is far from shore
and freighted with load OF debt
which renders It unseaworthy. The
effort Of every banker Is therefore di.
rected towards encouraging better
business methods on the part or his
customers for both his own and his
olspnt's safety.
Many retail merchants cannot un.
derstand why bankers are SO strict
why financial statements are demand.
cd, and why SO many Of these are un-
satisfactory The answer is that not
all retail merchants are good business
men. They do not possess enough in
formation about their own business
to make up reliable statement If
they cannot show sufficient catiae why
they should be trusted with loan why
should these merchants blame the
