THAT BRANDEIs NOMINATION.

IN NHAr Louis d. Brandeis. Of Boston, President Will
Il sons nominee for place the bench OF the
United States Supreme Court, is brany man. all
persons who have watched his at the bar and
elsewhere viii be frank to admit.
When IL comes, however TO the question whether he
is temperamentally fitted to serve acceptaby in the
Of last resort in this country public opinion viii
divide sharply
II the United States Senate refuse TO confirm the
nomination. II a determined fight against confrma-
ton be made in that body, It doubtless will be upon
The tomperamental and not upon the mental ground
His regularity a Democrat also may be called into
question.
Mr. Brandeis is a jew He is the first man OF that
nominated to sit in the United States SUI
preme Court The preferment that has been accorded
TO him naturally is pleasing TO the Jewish section Of
our population particularly as he is of the most
prominent potential and popular workers in the Zion
ist movement
Opinion varies relative TO what the Senate will do
One prediction is that if Mr.. Brandeis be confirmed
It will be by the closest given to nominee
for the Supreme Court There is no denying that the
selection by the President OF the brilliant but radical
Boston lawyer to succeed Justice Lamar is pro-
found shock TO conservative men Of all parties
The Presidents action was so unlooked-for that the
situation in the Senate has not yet had time to shape
itself The next few days should reveal what the SEN
atoria attitude is going to be. Many factors be
considered by the Senators before they decide definitely
how to talk and how to vote when the nomination
comes up for final action.

SMYRNA AND A TOWN CLOCK.

f'4N hNA AMI n lVW y ALVN Ne
From the Smyrna Times.
The editorial in last weeks Times
urging that some effort be set in mo-
tion toward securing a town clock,
that can be seen up and down Main
street and the striking of the hours
heard all over town, has been con-
siderably talked about. As suggested,
the Federal Building is the proper
place if permission from the govern
ment can be obtained. Prominent
citizens, seeing the necessity for
prompt action if place is to be pro-
vided for a clock in the Npostoffice
building, have even volunteered sub
stantial contributions looking to such
a project being realized. Others are
OF the opinion that it would be a
nice return compliment to the public
for their County Fair" support. if
the ladies would turn in this year
Cnow that they have their club house
paid for) and give a rOusing big
Country Fair" on the Fourth of July,
the proceeds to be turned over to a
town clock fund. Whether it can be
placed in the Federal Building or not.
should not deter this movement.
While the new postofIice would be
preferable, there are other places
that might be available Most of the
large towns of the State have town
clock, why not Smyrna? It does not
appear that any of our mOnied citi-
zens will rise to the occasion and
donate town clock, such as has
been the case in some Peninsula
towns. so the project is up to our
club women or the citizens of Smyrna
to arrange for it. At any event let
Smyrna keep pace with its wide
awake and progressive sister towns
and have big town clock. II would be
ideal.

PREsmENT WILSON AND pRrPAREDNrss.

WXTHAr the United States needs for self-protection
w is patriotic preparedness and not political par
tisan preparedness
It needs a preparedness plan that represents an hon
est and intelligent desire protect national honor
and sovereignty against all foes without and within,
and not selfish and dishonest desire to make parti
san capital to get arms up to the elbow in the
treasury Of the United States.
II this country we're facing Immediate attack from
without. it would show its patriotism by arising. al
most to a man, in the national defense Party lines
would fall; internal controversies would be laid
aside; Republicans Democrats. Prohibtonists Single
Takers Progressives Labortes and substantially all
other men would stand shoulder to-shouder i'm de-
fense OF the flag. Patriotism would supplan partisan
ship. unselhsh devotion 10 the flag would suppant or
rovn upon selfish devotion to the dollar And yet the
chief trouble that would confront people IN such
emergency under conditions as they exist TODAY
would be nequae navy. inadequate coast defenses
an inadequate standing army and an inadequate and
unframed reserve.
The principle underlying preparedness in it's pa
triotc and unschsh form is that We should do now.
coolly ntelligently and adyantageously what we
would have do then, excitedly uninteligently and
disadvanageously in effort to protect land and
its people against a prepared enemy
It seems 10 MS that all Americans should be in favor
Of that sort Of preparedness. and that they should
stand malterably opposed any other sort Of pre-
parodness and to any effort to make partisan capital
out of the defense needs of the nation
President Wilson has gone on the stump in sup
port OF preparedness At the present time he is
swinging the circle and endeayorng by arousing pub
lie sentiment to force into line for preparedness those
Democratic members OF Congress who are opposed TO
H. In that connection it may be well to bear in mind
that only few months ago President Wilson was
perhaps Americas foremost opponent for preparedness
since then he has changed his mind on that oues-
lion Just as he has changed it on many other areat
public issues.
The question that naturally presents itself is
whether the present speaking of the President is
'ssea upon patriotic impulse or partisan expediency:
whether ne IS seeking to prepare our nation for self
defense or 10 popularize himself tho coveted honor
of a second term President There is great diver
sty OF opinion on that point Public suspicion tha,
bis tour is tainted by aconal and partisan aims 1,

Meanwhile II Should be kept in mind constantly h,

stanas for patriotic and intelligent preparedness t,a
will serve its purpose in the hour of need Presider

The Library

A library is all important part
of a broad system of education,
and a community should think 1t
as discreditable to be without a
good public library as to be with
out school. Wholesome lltera-
ture can be furnished TO all the
readers in the community at a
fraction of the cost necessary to
teach them to read, and the
power to read may then become a
means of a lifelong education
Each town needs a library to
furnish more practice in reading
for the little folks in school. 1t
needs it to give the boys and girls,
who have learned to read, a taste
for wholesome literature that in
forms and inspires. 1t needs 1t
as a center for an intellectual &C
tivity of the community where
clean conversation and literature
will be substituted for petty gossip
and scandal.

COW peas on this land for a few
years would not only make better
returns in dollars and cents, but
would leave the soil III such con-
dition that a profitable yield of
corn could be made the succeeding
year.
A farmer is dependent on and
is measured by the fertility of his
land. If his land is impoverished
by injudicious farming methods,
his home surroundings, his animals
his finances and everything reflect
his condition. When a farmer has
a fertile farm the conditions are
always different. Build up your
farm to the highest state of fertill-
tv, because it means all to you.
You can't build up land by SELL
ing wagon loads of cane and corn
each year and returning nothing.
This surplus corn should be fed to
stock and sold on foot thereby, re-
turning to the soil a great amount
of this plant food in the form of
manures. Too many farmers are
trying to live on skin game"
farming. If you want your live
stock to pay in returns of money
you have got to feed them proper
ly; if you want your land to repay
in good harvests you have got to
add to it that fertility that you
have been mining from it each
year when you send out your
wagons with corn and cane, you
can't get something for nothing in
the farming game If you cheat
your land it will surely cheat you,
but if you feed your soil it will
feed you with bountiful harvests.
The days of the virgin lands are
about past and the present gener-
alton is confronted with the serious
problem of rebuilding these lands
that have been robbed of their fer
tility. You might start Oh the
right road by planting peas on
every available acre and always
in the corn.

Have Cowpeas Planted In
The Corn.
BY T. H. CASANOVA

There is one crop that has
a place on every farm, but TN
fortunaly is often undervalued
by many farmers that are at
loss to know what causes their
decreased yield of grain each
succeeding year; this crop is
cowpeas. The most valuable
and the most deficient of plant
foods in the soil is nitrogen.
Above each acre of land, scien-
lists estimate, that there is
S3,O00,000 worth of Nitrogen
In a gas form that can be stored
in the soil only through the
agency of legumes. Cow peas
is one of the more important
plantsin this group of legumes

making ten barrels of corn to the
acre on soils that are already i'm

But worry is corrosive that speedi-

than the revolution of the wheels

who knows how TO do his level
best and leave the result with God,
has learned one of the chief secrets
Of life. But he who is always
worrying about how things are

people constantly complain and

their occupation the troubles in
