LOW WAGES ARE FATAL
TO LABOR AND BUSINESS

Low wages is as fatal to bushes as
to labor.
Ready sales and good prices are in
dispensable to business success.
The workers are the great buyers
in the business world. And they can
only buy as their wages support the
ability.
So the merchant who takes up the
cause Of cheap labor is taking up a
load that is sure to bring business
down.

EndiesS Battle.

Look around today. Lo. here and
now in our civilized society, the old
allegories yet have a meaning. the old
myths are still true. Into the Valley
Of the Shadow OF Death yet often the
path of Duty leads; through the streets
OF Vanity Fair walk Christian and
Faithful; and on Greatheart's armor
ring the changing blows. Ormuzd still
fights with Ahriman-the Prince OF
Light with the powers Of darkness. He
who will hear, to him the clarions Of
the battle call.
How they call, and call, and call. till
the heart swells that hears them!
Strong soul and high endeavor, the
world needs them now. Beauty still
lies imprisoned, and iron wheels still
go over the good, the true and the
beautiful that might spring from hu.
man lives.
And they who fight with Ormuzd.
though they may not know each other
somewhere, sometime, will their
muster roll be called.-Henry George.

SULPHUR AS A Fertilizer
Experiments Conducted Seem to Provo
That II Is Of the Greatest Value
to the Soil.

In parts Of France the residue from
gas works is extensively used as fer
til!zer. Analysis OF several samples
Of garden soil prove that the value CT
this unusual fertiizing agent is due
in part to the large amount Of sulphur
in It, 40 per cent OF sulphur and from
l to per cent of nitrogen. in the form
Of ammonia or its salts. Experiments
in flour of sulphur are said to promote
the growth OF both roots and leaves
and to give to the plants deeper green
color than they would have without 1t.
Probably it helps to form chlorophyll
Moreover, some of the sulphur Is oxi-
died and becomes sulphate in the
soil.
In this relation. II may be pointed
out that experiments at the University
Of Wisconsin have been regarded as
proving that the generally prevailing
theory that sulphur in the soil is Of
little value for promoting fertility. as
compared with phosphorus and nitro
gen. Is erroneous and that sulphur is.
in fact, OF vast importance. Continu-
Gus cultivation, together with insufti-
cient fertilization, causes a large an
nual loss of sulphur which cannot be
compensated from the atmosphere, and
little is brought up by capillarity
from the subsoil. The eyperimcnters,
therefore, recommend the application
OF fertilizers containing sulphur to
lands which are frequently cropped.
The failure hitherto to recognize the
great value Of sulphur in the soil ia
ascribed to faulty analytic methods
employed by early investigators.

Gus advances to the extent Of casting
an arm about Kitty as she would have

pausing for any question he sprang
