WHY DON'T YOU LET GO?

BY c. B. Watson
Tail Enders shouted, leered and
grinned,
"a Reed was shaken by the wind"
A parson said some one had sinned
And a Wolf howled loud behind
them.
Twas a fearsome time I'm sure,
With Enders, Reed and Simon
Pure
Prescribing nostrums for a cure,
While the Wolf howled on behind
them.
The self-styled Pure was struck with
fear
At the push and pluck of Bert R.
Greer,
And Enders stopped to shed tear,
But the Wolf howled on behind
them.
Recall the Crook" they shouted
loud;
"Ploson the breath of the motley
crowd;
Throw truths to the winds, tho 1t
bring a shroud,"
And the Wolf howled loud behind
them.
We must disgrace the man who'd
bring
The waters from that living spring
And build a park where birds will
sing;
The Wolf still howled behind them.
They tried; and l feel inclined to
tell,
How the eliminating faddist fell
From a place Of grace, to the pains
Of we'll,
Where Wolf walls low behind them.

tor Of Farm Trade Chats hasn't
enough hair left to hold even a Hight
color. and It wasn't red when he did
have hair. BY that we mean that he
has never been accused Of having
temper, easily riled, but last week
one day, while telling prospective
customer Of the qualities Of some
material the listener finally looked
up and said, YES that is what you
say, but you're selling IT," What
undue advantage taken In calling
one liar in this left-handed way,
when he is in position where he must
be a gentleman. Yet how common
It is for many men Of the buying
public, TO take It for granted that
a salesman rs always ready to over
state, TO mis-represent, TO lie about
his wares. in order to effect a sale.
This belief is one without point,
though emanatlng from plnheads. A
real salesman is too honorable to lie
TO q customer and a shrewd one is
too wise to do It. 1t is bad policy.
II Is bad business.
There will be added pleasure in
mercantile life when buyer and seller
meet as honorable men and 80 re-
gard each other. When buyers do
not assume that pen are willing to
sell their birthright for a mess OF
green's. In other words, mis-repre-
sent for the sake Of an order.

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

tsstations comes naturally and with
out conscious endeaVor
One, for instance, would have to
throw herself into an independent
and belIfgsraat state Of mind IN order
to adequately act the part of the
haTghty and outraged Irish servant
girl. Otherwise the silt Of her chin
and even the swish Of her skirt would
be apparent and unconvincfng in
their artfficiaIfty.
In other words, anything that reg
isters real on the screen must have
come from inside the actor or actress
To make a convincing imitation Of
the bows and scrspings Of the Japan
ese, the stealth Of the Hindu or the
gssticulacions Of the French peasant,
one must actually become for the
time In temperament and thought a
Japanese, a Hindu or z French peas
ant.
The more I study different types
and conditions Of people, the more
firmly convinced DO I become that
every peculizrity Of bodily movement
or attitude is caused by a correspond
ing peeuIiarity Of mind OF soul. And
It ls our SUCCESS IN getting into this
state Of mind or soul that counts for
or against Us IN our interpretations
for the screen.

CANADA FIELD PEAS SHOULD BE
SOWN EARLY.

Canada field peas are especially
well adapted to the climate of Canada
and the northern tier of states where
there is sufficient moisture. In Mary
land they will succeed much better in
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 a little before, and for that
reason should not be considered in
the light of grain crop with a 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 IL bushels
of peas to 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, as 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 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 it is usually advisable to
inoculate, otherwise the growth will
not be sufficient to pay for the seed
and the extra labor.

ciSclNG LAND BEFORE FLOWING
DESIRABLE.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Discing a sod before blowing makes
the blowing easier and greatly facili-
tates the preparation of a good seed
bed. 1t is as important to have the
bottom of the seedbed finely pulver-
lied as it is to have the surface well
worked
The easiest way to do this is to disc
before blowing. 1t may seem that this
is an extra operation, but land that is
well disced before blowing will not
need as much working after blowing
in order to get it in first class condi-
ton, and there is no question of the
bottom of the seeded being as well
worked as the surface.
It is also a good plan to disc rye
OF rye and clover before blowing un.
der This aids the complete turning
under and at the same time helps to
mix it with the soil. which is necessary
in order to get the most rapid decom-
position. It also insures against the
difficulty Of preventing the clover from
being turned under in a mat, in which
case it simply acts as a blanket in
preventing the upward movement Of
moisture.

Velop Outlaws From West.

Ell Paso, Texas.-General John J.
Persh1ng and the United States army
invading Mexico for the purpose of
eHectlng the capture of Parcho Villa
and his band OF bandits, were re-
ported between Janos and Ascension,
north OF Casas Grandes, a little more
than half way to Casas Grandes,
from the American border at
Columbus, N. NJ, where entry was
made. They were marching parallel
with the Janos river.
The report came to Gen. Gabriel
Gavira, commander of the Juarez mill
tary garrison. Gen. Gavira also re.
ported that Villa and his men were
believed to be between SAleana and
San Duena Ventura. The latter place
is As miles southeast of Casas Gran
des.
Gavira's report of the WHEREABOUTS
of Pershings column is generally
credited, because an American who
left Columbus with the Pershing
command and returned later to the
border, was in Ell Paso and said when
he left the American invaders they
immediate expected to make the
Boco Grande river for encampment.
Leaving there they could have made
Janos or Ascension by night, the total
distance being 70 miles from Column
bus.
General Funston announced that
Col G. A. Dodd's command, consisting
of cavalry. crossed the border near
Culbersons ranch AZ miles from
Hachita, n. NJ, but he refused to say
what its strength was. Dodd's com
mand IS hurrying to join Pershing's,
but 1t will take three days to catch
up.
Night marches will be made by Gen.
Pershing's expeditionary forces in
their search for Villa, it was indicat'
ed at Fort Sam Houston.
Night marches, it was pointed out,
would help to puzzle Villa as to the
movements of the American columns,
and would keep the men and horses
fresher. Days could be used for re.
connoitring.

PREPAREDNESS n FARM
PRACTICE MOST NECESSARY
New Bulletin Offers Timely sugges'
tions In Farm Management.

During the month of March continue
blowing. Harrow and reharroW until
a perfect seed bed is secured. An
ounce of preparation is worth a pouhd
of cultivation. Apply lime to the corn
land as the seed bed is prepared.
Where grass lands have not had
sufficient amount of stable manure ap-
piled previously there should now be
an application of commercial 1ertll-
izers. AS the grass becomes green Is
the proper time to make the applica-
ton.
Go over your drainage systems and
see that they are working properly.
Often earth from the sides is thrown
into the bottom of open bitches by the
freezing and thawing of winter. This
may so choke up the ditch as to inter
fere with the outflow of water or the
earth slide may cause the flow to cut
into and undermine the opposite bank.
Where there is under-drainage, see
that the outlets are open. Examine
the fields of winter wheat, rye and
other winter grains and see if the
crop has been killed, injured in spots
by "heaving" or "spewing" or has
been drowned out by water standing
on the surface during the winter. If
any such spots are found plan to give
them better drainage.

stock on pasture. Trouble may be
saved if the fences are gone over at
this time and loose wires frightened
up and defective posts or rails re-
placed.
Continue hauling manure on the
fields intended for corn. Fresh manure
spread on the top of plowed land and
worked in with the harrow will give
better results than if spread before
blowing at this season unless the
manure be very coarse.
The too common practice Of burn
ing over old fields at this season pre-
paratory to blowing is strongly to be
reprobated 1t is much better praC
tice to go over such fields with the
disk harrow once or twice to chop up
the dry vegetable matter and mix it
with the soil and then pillow, rather
than to burn the vegetable matter.

CHACE FOR VILLA TO BE LONG
Gen. Funston Says Bandit Has Fled to
One of the TIost Desolate
Countries in World.

General Funston. commander in chief
of American troops on the border. pre-
! dicted Wednesday ia an interview that
the chace for Villa will be a hard and
| difficult campaign. He said General
Pershing, commander in the field, has
his orders. and will move when ready.
Il hope the American people appre-
ciate, " said Funstone, that this is &C.
log to be hard and very difficult cam
paign," 1t may be a long one, also.
"One of the best feature of the bust
ness is the tact that the troops are IN
splendid shape for the work. From
physical standpoint they could not be
better. The time that most of them
| have had on the border has hardened
and toughened them for just the
character of campaign that they will
have to undergo. But 1t is going to be
a hard job.
villa has fled to one of the naturally
most desolate countries in the world.
What nature did not do for it in this
respect the fighting factions in Mexico
have done. Unless we go in there
sufficiently supplied with food and fod-
der to take care of the problem of sub
sistence entirely, we would be defeated
by nature long before we met Villas
| forces.
There is nothing left in all that vast
and naked region for US to buy or take.
Our prisoners, taken in the Columbus
RAID, tell US that Villa and his men are
living off 'jerked' beef. They have no
other food supply of consequence.
81 believe that our aeroplanes are
going to be of great value to US in
scouting work in this campaign. 1t
will be the first time that we have ever
used our planes under these conditions,
and | have great hopes in their success.
Il hope the American people under
stand the reason for the apparent de-
lay in crossing the border and starting
after the chace. 1t would have been
! sheer folly for US to have continued
! the chace the day of the raid. We had
but about 250 men against Villas ], 800
and possibly more. Our men had no
! supplies with them.
They might have continued a run
ming fight and killed more VilIistas, but
unless they could have actually captur-
ed Villa no particular military advant-
age would have been gained. The fact
that Villas forces so far out-numbered
ours made pursuit dangerous. Had our
troops been surrounded, as easily might
have happened another Custer massacre
would have resulted.
From all have learned, | believe
that Villa made the raid one of his
characteristic brainstorms.' These
| fits of blind, unreasoning anger of his
are well known. and while in them he'll
do anything.
Back of all this was the hope, pre-
sumo, that Intervention might result in
swinging a tide of popular Mexican
favor his way and bringing to him large
| bodies of MeXicans and so make him a
serious factor in Mexican affairs again.
1T may be hard chace and a long
one before the end we seek to attain is
! secured, but we are ready for it and
will attain it. "
