beyond doubt. For Donovan has the best
defensive ball club in the game; four good
right t-handers. two star left-handers a
brilliant fielding infield and one of the best
ground-covering outfelds and one of the
surest In baseball.
You can say what you will about the
value OF batting and n stout attack, but a
ball club with fine pitching and a strong de-
fense rarely Is thrown from It's poise. And
with this defense, II Baker and Magee reach
the batting heights they should hold the
attack will be sufficiently powerful to get its
share Of the runs.
For Wally Plpp Is long-dIstancc hitter
and, coupled with Frank Baker. leaves
plenty Of guncotton around the cleanup
landing.
The White and Red Sox
Both Red Sox and White Sox have spent
most OF the spring and early summer below
their normal positions They have been
gradually working their way up, for the last
two weeks. They are now In easy range
OF the top once more, and when Eddie Col
Inns begins TO join his batting eye with the
militant orb of Joe Jackson the Old Roman q
entry won't be very far away. The Red
Sox are just beginning to get their pitching
staff In shape. and when Foster. Ruth,
Shore. Leonard and others hit top speed
there will be different yarn to spin.

Union County, Nominated for
 Secretary of State

Probably the most unique cam paigner was T. J. Terral the success full candidate for Secretary of State. Mir. Terral, unknown in Arkansas politics, but to the members of the 1913 and 1915 Legislatures, during which he served as Secretary of the Senate, went before the people direct with his fight. He demonstrated that a poor man can, even in these expen- sive and strenuous times, make a race for state office and win. Mir. Terral did no advertising, and in addition had las his opponent a former president of the Arkansas Press Association which gave the adversary the advantage of the majority of the press. Mir. Terral struck out alone, never appearing m a town with one of the gubernatorial candidates, and refusing to be drawn into factional difficulties. When the voting time came the voter was pretty well informed on the candidates, and Terral. who had been heard of but little since the opening of the cam paign, showed up with complete Organization, even in Little Rock, and had no difficulty in sweeping the state.
 Tom Terral is tireless worker, and his record as Secretary of the Senate was so clean that if the future can be judged by the past, he will make the state most excellent official. Every man who came in contact with him while he was serving in the Senate went away his friend, and the friend ship paid it's returns in the recent primary.

MEAL
 AS A FERTILIZER

Washington, D. C., April 7.-At the present time when potash in the form of salts is practically unobtainable and when both nitrogen and acid phos- phate have advanced in price because of the use of nitrates and sulphuric acid for munition purposes, cotton seed meal. which carries all three of the fertilizing clements, becomes of great importance. In recent years immense quantities of this material have gone into fertilizers, approxi- mately 100000 tons having been so used in 1913.
 Cottonseed meal, the residue after the oil has been extracted from cot tonseed, is a dry, yellowish powder, having excellent mechanical proper ties for fertilizer mixtures and con- tains about 6.5 per cent of nitrogen, 2 per cent of phosphoric acid and 2 per cent of potash. It is, therefore, according to specialists of the U. S.. Department of Agriculture, primarily a nitrogenous fertilizer, but under present conditions its potash content is highly important and is a decided factor in determining the price ar which the material is sold.
 In practice cottonseed meal should be mixed with other ingredients. Most of the formulas heretofore published have advocated various proportions of acid phosphate and muriate of potash in combination with cottonseed meal. Muriate of potash is to all intents and purposes unobtainable this year and must be omitted from present consid- eration. If 1000 pounds of cotton seed meal and 1000 pounds of acid phosphate are mixed, however, a ton of material results which contains .about 1S0 pounds of phosphoric acid, |65 pounds of nitrogen and 20 pounds of potash. This is about 90 per cent phosphoric acid, 3.25 per cent nitro gen and 1 per cent potash, and makes la very satisfactory mixture for many soils where field crops are to be grown. For trucking and gardening present practice demands q higher content of potash, and the mixture may be supplemented by the applica- tion of unleached wood aches if ob- tainable.
 Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not so quickly available as when applied in the form of nitrate, but on the other hand is not so likely to be leach ed out in times of heavy rainfall. In

PREP CONTINUES
 TO BE WATCHWORD

Little Rock, April 7.-Preparedness continues the watchword of the Ar kansas National Guard, which is now at the height of its efficiency. Many plans are under consideration, how ever, to increase the high efficiency of the organization. To enable the troops of the state to improve their craftsmanship and make satisfactory progress in rifle firing, Brig. Gen. England desires that each company commander take up the project of con- structing rifle range at his home station. When the preliminaries have been arranged, the headquarters will furnish the necessary target material. The indoor gallery practice will be conducted by each organization com- mencing May 1, and no man will be permitted to participate in the indoor practice until he has qualified in gal lery practice.

light sandy soils where teaching is rapid the use of organic material such as cottonseed meal is to be preferred in supplying the necessary nitrogen Decay of the organic material hber- ates the nitrogen gradually and there is much less danger of loss than is the case when soluble salts, like Chil- can nitrate, are used.
 Most of the mineral ingredients in cottonseed are recovered in the manure if the material is used as a cattle feed. The most economical use of cottonseed meal is, therefore, to feed it and apply the manure to the land. In this way the material is made to serve a double purpose. Euro pean dairymen have for some years bought large quantities of American cottonseed meal for feeding purposes. As the live stock industry develops in our Southern States doubtless an in- lcreasing amount of this material will be diverted from the fertilizer trade for use as a stock feed, and at pres ent wherever possible the practice of feeding the meal and using the man. ure for fertilizer should be followed rather than the direct application Of the cottonseed meal to the land.

 The house was built before the war by Peter McCollum and was a one story structure. About 30 years ago another story was added. It has been used as boarding house nearly ever since it was built.
 At the time of the fire it was un- occupied except for Col. Bill Taylor who occupied one or two rooms as hvlng quarters.-Camden Beacon Her aid.

IMPRESSIONS ADVERTISING.

! Or esteemed friends of the legal and medical professions do not be- |rge in advertising. It is against ae "ethics of profession" to pay for av advertising, although not infre- l |mntly member of the bar or a |pyieian is found who does not ob- |Mt to little publicity that comes without any cost. It is not the pur- nose of the Herald to discuss the ,ppriety of the rule of the profes- l sos that bars paid advertising. It l may be rule that is founded in good l policy and it may not be, but over at Chattanooga the other day the medi- l a society carried the matter to an
 extreme, causing no end of news 1 paper notice and comment, not all of ! which is friendly to the society.
 Because a physician of the city had
 allowed the Chattanooga Times to publish his picture while operating upon poor little waif of a child, from whom he never expects to collect one cent, the medical society has re- |hsd him membership. This, it
 strikes us, and will the average indi- ndua is a bit far fetched. If other
 Nse the physician in question is de- |smng of membership in the medical Seety aSsuredly his offense, if of
 ense 1t was, did not deserve such con- |T punishment. If it did then as- Aeey the member of the society Mo permits the newspapers to pub M an address that he may have made
 naef flashing headlines, with his pie @e Prominently displayed and with
 oecdedly flattering introduction, s'ad be barred from membership.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.

The liquor interests have unwitting- ly given prohibition in West Virginia much valuable publicity. Their frantic efforts to prove that deficit in tho state treasury is due to the loss of liquor revenue has called forth from loyal citizens of the little mountain state" strong testimonials on the sub- 1ect. In the light of the moral, social and economic benefits derived from the prohibitory law, testified to by men of every class, a deficiency of a few thousand dollars seems of com paratiyely little importance.
 As a matter of fact the loss of the $s0O,O00 a year in revenue to West Virginia as a result of the adoption of the constitutional prohibition amend ment does not impose upon the indi- vidual taxpayer any burden worth con- sidering. In letter written by the state auditor, which has recently been made public, he shows that five cents additional state taxes on the hundred dollar valuation will take care of the money loss on liquor licenses. This would cost man whose property was assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; If he has s2000 worth, he would have to pay one dollar. and if he had $10,000, he would be obliged to expend five dollars. So much for the enormous load of taxation being thrust upon the property owners of the state because of prohibition! The payment of such insignificant amounts would certainly appeal to levelheaded business man as a mighty good investment.

A WARNING.

Without being cause for over-alar1n it is we'll to heed the bulletin of the United States Health Service which calls attention to an alarming spread of small poX in nineteen states. Hap oily, there are but two cities in Con- necticut affected, Waterbury with thirty-five cases, and Torrington with eleven. But there have been no new eases in either of the cities since the Issuance of the bulletin and those in the smaller towns which bring Con- necticut's total Up to f1ftyeight cases are not viewed as alarming. The point Is, however, that the time has arrived for precaution. Physicians have sent out the warning that those who have not been vaccinated within five years should be revaccinated in the immediate future no matter how much they dread the ordeal AS in the case of New Britain's safeguard against the infantile paralysis epl- demic, precaution is merely another form of Safety First"

Tighten Potato Restrictions.

Washington, Dec. 5.-To attack the high cost of food, so far as potatoes are concerned, the department of ag- riculture has ordered a relaxation of the quarantine against potatoes from Canada.
 Hereafter Canadian potatoes with not more than ten per cent showing traces of disease will be admitted at any border customs house, instead of specially designated ports, as has been the practice.
 Shipments will not be delayed for inspection, and the horticultural board will take steps to make the formali- ties attending such imports as free of burdens to importers as possible.
 The departm action is expected to bring large quantities of potatoes into the United States to meet the high prices.

Machine Wars Of the F1Iture.

GA. F. Pollard, in Yale Review)
 Before 1914 we imagined that there were certain considerable restraints on hostilities hallowed by custom and sanctioned by international agree ments. It was supposed that war was business confined to one sex, to belligerents and to armed forces; it was assumed that state might remain neutral if they chose, and that if they remained neutral their nationals would be immune from loss of life and de- struction of property. It was further taken for granted that the number of actual combatants would be small proportion of the peoples involved in the war, and that loss of life and de- struction of property would be con- fined to more or less definite and linn ited military areas.
 There is not one of these limitations which the intruding sweep of this war has not broken down, and not one which does not threaten to disappear altogether in the wars of the future. They will not be restricted by sex. The physical strength which was once the combatant's main qualification has been superseded by machinery; and the hundreds of thousands of women who have made munitions for this war and helped to construct aero- planes, guns and torpedoes will be succeeded by a generation of women who will switch on the currents to set them in action.
 Science has multiplied the human capacity for production to such an ex- tent that the time may not be far dis tant when third of the human race could produce for the whole and leave the remaining two- thirds free to de- vote their whole time to war. The progress toward universal conscrip- tion in every state Is merely stage in the tendency to involve the whole hu- man race in war.
 There will be no territorial limits to the war of the future, and distance will provide no prophylactic against the annihilation of space. The war area is a definition of the past, and the Germans, who complained that Frei- burg-when it was bombed by the F'rench-was outside the sphere of military operations have already dropped bombs on London; and wo- men and children lying almost on the borders of Wales have been killed by Zeppelin raiders coming from Central Europe. Then years ago Count Zeppelin was labOriOuslv seeking to construct a lighter than air ship which would travel a few dozen miles at eighteen miles an hour; ten years hence it will be as easy for airships from Europe to drop bombs on the Mississippi Valley.
