tian nation. vast deal of paganism
may disguise itself under Christian
forms. even as satan himself may be
transformed into an angel of light. Al

which is as putrescent as any which

Only the spirit of self-denial enjoin-

can turn us away from this destructive
and degraded paganism. Only the Gross

WHAT A STRIKE WILL STAND FOR

This mornings dispatches-vouched
for by the Associated Press to be re-
liable-disclosed the gravity of the
strike situation in the United States.
The vote shows that nearly 100000 men
voted for a strike in the late poll of
votes, and considerably less than 5000
disfavored it. That vote means great
deal more than appears on the face OF
ii. Before what L am now writing is
printed in the Country Home Column
every railroad car may be standing still
in the yards or on the track In the open
and when they fail to move commerce
stops-no coal is hauled-no food prod
ucts can pass along, and the suffering
thus entailed would not cover half the
loss and trouble that would result in a
general tie-up.
This state of things has been threat
ening for a long term of years. 1t has
Just reached a crisis. How it VIII end
nobody is prepared to say, and unless
there is an amicable settlement and
satisfactory agreement between the en-
ployers and the employed the initiation
is bound to menace until something
much harsher will be showed along. ]
CHANGED to pass through Pittsburg.
Pa. nearly forty years ago, just after
a strike had been quelled by the militia,
and I was in Chicago soon after Presi
dent Cleveland had called out troops to
force railroad employees to surrender
their demands.
The Pittsburg employees were not
satisfied and there has been an element
in the west since that time which has
never ceased to relate the wrongs they
suffered. There are similar influences
in Chicago today, and as there is an
immense foreign element in the Windy
City a little spark may ignite an inn
mense conflagration. President Wilson
is comforting with the combatants at
this time. and if he fails the strike is
certainly on. I shall be one of the first
to applaud the success of the execu
tive if he can make peace between
those who are so fercely arrayed
against each other, because the nation
is holding it's breath. so to speak, on
this fateful August day.

Common salt as you doubtless know,
consists largely of sodium chloride. II
has been used from very ancient times
in agriculture. Impure salt which can
not be utilized commercially can be
applied to lands without objection. Ap.
parently the chief value of salt lies n
changing the potassium from insoluble
to soluble forms. Salt seems to econo-
mize the amount of potash used by
crops. There is some reason to believe
that salt may also be useful in render
ing insoluble phosphates available. Do
not use over 200 to 500 pounds per
acre.
Salt is Of some value as a holder of
moisture but it's influence in this d.
rection is probably not as great as is
commonly supposed. Remember that
such crops as tobacco. sugar beets and
potatoes are injured by applications OF
salt on account of the chlorine il con.
tains. It's use can not be advised where
II would cost more than 50 to SO per
ton. Kainit as you probably know, con-
tasns a good deal of common salt.

SCHOOL MEETING.-The office of
School Treasurer, for School District
comprising the End and 4th wards, in
this city, will become vacant by the
expiration of the present incumbent s
time, Hon. Thos. Robinson, who de-
cljnes to accept the position again.
We have heard many of our citizens,
who are interested in our school i'm
provements, suggest that there should
be a concert of action in the district
among ali men who have but the one
desire of serving the school interest.
In this connection we have heard the
name of Hon. E. K. Rand, Geo. Cooper
and Lyman Emerson mentioned.
Any one of the above named gentle
men, when elected, could only be in
haenced by what they considered the
best possible good of the whole School
District, and just at this time, while
building, we certainly need just such
men to see that our money is not squan-
dered without value received.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

Circuit Court was occupied all day
Wednesday and part of to-day with the
case of the Gas Co. VS.. the City. The
company claims that the city diverged
the line Of the sewer on Franklin street
to save damage to its own mains and
the Railway lines and threw the bur-
den on the Gas Company. That the
divergence of the line of the sewer
necessitated the relaying of AGO feet of
main at cost of $3.50.
The city claims that the result would
have been the same if the line had not
diverged and that anyway the work
was done by an Independent contractor
for whose acts the city is not liable.
The court took the matter under
advisement.

cratic ticket at the primary election in
September. The law prohibiting a
county treasurer from succeeding him
self second time was repealed by the
last legislature. Mr.. Anderson is one
OF the most popular men in the court
house. He has been faithful, compe-
tent and courteous official, maintaining
the office of which he has had charge
in most efficient manner If nomi-
mated Mr.. Anderson will be strong
man on the ticket at the general elec-
lion because he has record as county
treasurer that is hard TO beat.

The summer Institute for teachers
will be held August l7-lS-l9 in the
North Side Park School.
The conductors in charge will be
Asa NJ. Royce now president of Platt-
vile Normal, w. h. Larson of the
state department and F. c. Christian
sen of our training school. Mr.. Larson
will take up work in the teaching OF
history The teaching in this subject
has to my mind been rather weak and
am glad that someone will take it up
and present usable method of teach
ing it, Mr.. Larson will also briefly
discuss the new manual IN general.
Mr.. Christensen will take up some
of the work generally included under
industrial work. Specific things will
be taken up with smaller groups or
probably in class room fashion.
The work for Mr.. Royce has not yet
been definitely planned. Some pri-
mary work will be given although
feel that help is needed in the middle
form and upper form. Mr.. Royce will
also have charge of singing, plays,
games and folk dancing.
1t may be possible that | can ar.
range for few talks by persons who
may be able to give us valuable aid
and suggestions.
AS this institute is but three days
long every teacher in the county is ex
pected to attend the entire time. We
want no stragglers who come late anG
then just as visitors. The Normals
will be closed before August II so that
every teacher can be with US. There
should be no excuses. Ths institute
will open promptly at nine o'clock.
