The demand made upon Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff Of
the United States army, to
straighten out the difficulties ex-
listing between this government
and its enemy, suggests the idea
that a man of General SCOTS
type would not be a misft as
secretary of war. President Wal
son and no member Of his cabinet
have had military training and
the government has been handi-
capped in dealing with the deli
cate situation that has arisen
since Mr.. Wilson became presi-
dent. The counsel of our great
est military men has been neces-
sary to get us by the difficult
problems which continue to de-
velop. Gen. Scott would make
an admirable secretary Of war
and if we had a little more Of
the fighting element in the cabi-
net the chances are there would
be less danger of a scrap.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

With only a couple of weeks
intervening before the assem-
bling of the great parties in their
national conventions, it is only
possible to forecast but one of
the nomineesrWoodrow Wilson
by the democrats.
Mr.. Wilson'S nomination has
been conceded all along and no
other name has been suggested.
With the republicans it is quite
different. The party is all UP in
the air and no forecast can be
made with any degree of certain
ty as to who that party will
name as the standard bearer.
The fight in the republican party
has been made very quietly and
it is now evident that Justice
Hughes, of the supreme court,
is the most formidable candidate
for the nomination, while at the
same time he is not an avowed
candidate. Mr.. Roosevelt, who
has made a wild fight to have
both the republicans and pro-
gressives to give him the NOM
ination, seems to have failed to
bring the republicans to his way
of thinking and is making frantic
efforts to control the party in his
own interests. The wise heads,
however, seem determined to
keep him out of it and if possible
he will not get a hearing before
the convention. Should he be
ignored he will adopt his old rule
or ruin policy and accept the
nomination from the progress
ives and again go out in opposi-
ton to the regular nominee.
With two candidates in the
field the democrats would have
a repetition Of the 1912 cam
paign which landed them in pow
er. EThereeseens to be but little
chance for the republicans and
'progressives to get together on a
candidate and upon this failure
largely depends the success of
the democrats. J

Soil Survey Completed

The field work Of the soil sur.
vey Of Lee county has been COM
pleted and the maps and reports
forwarded to Washington. The
results Of this survey will be
published as a part of the field
operations of the Bureau of Soils,
u. S. Department of Agriculture,
for 1916. There will also be
issued, as soon as the data is
available for publication, ad-
vance sheets in the form Of paper
bound copies of the Lee county
survey, each containing the re-
port in full and the soil survey
map. These will be much more
convenient for local use than the
annual report Of the soil survey
work, which is a rather bulky
volume. Copies Of the advance
sheets may be obtained upon ap-
plication to Hon. E. S. Gambler,
congressman from this district.
In the Lee county survey some
q types and phases of soil were
recognized. Each has been de-
scribed in considerable detail and
its occurrence indicated upon the
map. According to the later
methods of soil classification
adopted by the Bureau of Soils,
considerable attention is given
the separation of the calcareous
and non calcareous soils. The
county possesses extensive areas
of soils more or less affected by
the underlying limestone. There
are also types now held in rather
low estimation by farmers, which
need only different methods of
management to render them
much more productive. Several
of these types have excellent
physical properties and may be
restored to something like their
original fertility without undue
labor or expense. There aresome
soils inherently poor, but they do
not constitute a large proportion
of the uplands. There are also
some upland types that would
respond to artificial drainage-an
Improvement that will be adopted
as lands in general increase in
price.
The county is fortunate in the
possession of soils well adapted
to corn and alfalfa. to clovers
and grasses, thus insuring a per-
manent and solid basis for diver
sifed farming.

her husband at her expense and ask
him to telegraph a money order, also
telling him the circumstances in which
she was placed. She assented TO this,

how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils Of Thyme, Euca-
lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve
form, so that when applied to the
body, the ingredients are vaporized
by the body heat.
These vapors are inhaled with each
breath, through the air passages, to
the lungs, carrying the medication d.
rect to the affected parts, and, in ad-
dition, Vick's is absorbed through the
skin, taking out the tightness and

With the skill Of an expert boat
woman and a strength born Of exer
else and practice, Hazel Grey drove
the yawl under her control against
the shingly beach, leaped out and ran
swiftly to the spot where a fellow
creature lay in deadly peril.
She had sculled the clumsy craft
from the little island in the center Of
the lake and half the distance accom-
plished had hurried her course, for
this is what she noted: A young man
topping over the edge Of the bluff 20
feet up from the beach. Either he
had slipped in v~enturing a descent or
had been asleep and rolled down the
steep slope. In any event the fall had
been a bad one, for he lay half sub
merged by the water. his eyes closed
and apparently unconscious.
Hazel lost no time in dragging the
half suffocated victim out of the wa
ter. He stirred as she did so. She
looked troubled and full of pity as she
noticed a bruise near his temple. In
landing his head had struck a stone
Abruptly he sat up and looked about

her beautiful eyes, Hazel stood rock
rooted with the fluttering gasp:

She seemed quite to forget the pres
