Good Formulas to Use This Season

What will constitute an acceptable
fertilizer formula for the present year?
is a question being asked by thousands
Of farmers. OF course, everyone real
ICES that abnormal conditions prevail in
the fertilizer industry, and this being
the case. il is first necessary to consider
what can be secured, and then proceed
TO compound and use these materials in
4 manner which is likely to prove the
most beneficial to the crops ordinarily
grown. In this connection IL is certain
that while prices may be higher than
IN previous years, there are very con-
siderable quantities OF cotton seed meal
and acid phosphate available. No pot
ash can be had. Crushed lime rock
may be secured in large quantities, but
its use should be primarily restricted
70 liberal applications made TO the land
preferably before the planting OF legum-
inouS crops. Floats are also on the mar
ket but. according 10 tests we nave
made up TO teh present time, and in
view of the small amount of organic
matter in Georgia soils, IL does not APP
pear that this material can be depended
on as a satisfactory source OF available
phoSphoriC acid the present season. Nj
trate OF soda is scarce and high priced.
Sulpnate OF ammonia is limited in sup
ply and also high in price. Blood and
bone and fish scrap will probably be
available in normal amounts.

LONDON, March correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-The recent
sharp debate in parliament between the
first lord of the admiralty, Mr.. Balfour,
and his predecessor in that position.
Winston Churchill, as to whether capital
ships were being FASTENED to compile
ton with sufficient rapidity to meet the
menace of the German building pro-
gram, was obscured by the necessary
reserve in referring TO the actual de-
tails of capital ships, so that few out
side Of the naval experts understood the
bearings of the remarks made by the
admiralty chiefs.
There is much information available,
however, which explains the status of
these big ships. This information is Of
fetal and semi-official, open to the pub
lie, and therefore not within that eau
tionary reserve, as it was permitted to
appear IT. Jayne's summary of the stat
us of the navies of the world appearing
last fall This shows that the new cap
ital ships, upon which the debate hinged,
stood about like this:
The Queen Elizabeth headed a class
Of six dreadnoughts provided in the
estimates of 1912, namely: Queen Eliz-
laya, and another unnamed. They were
of 1880 tons displacement, making them
among the largest dreadnoughts afloat;
with EIGHT 15-inch guns. as against the
guns previously used; 12> to 16 6-tnch
guns, IL anti-aerial guns and four sub
merged 21-inch torpedo tubes. The Queen
Elizabeth standing at the head of these
six monster ships, became the represent
alive type, and the Queen Elizabeth
class" is now a familiar reference to
ships of this new and formidable char
acter.
The Queen Elizabeth and her sister
ships were duly completed, the first two
Queen Elizabeth and Warspite, being
finished in October, 1914, and the VAL
liant, Barham and Malay in 1915. The
Queen Elizabeth has been heard from
during the Dardanelles operations. Be-
yond this, however, little is known, and
there is rarely a reference to these for
midable ships, although it is officially
definite they were completed at the times
stated, and must now be somewhere
afloat with their formidable 15-inch bat
teries. These ships were not primarily
the ones under discussion in the recent
debate. as they are completed, but the
Queen Elizabeth was referred to as the
type OF later ships around which the de-
bate really centered.
FOUR MORE BIG SHIPS.
Two more capital ships of the Queen
Elizabeth class were provided in the
1914 estimates, namely, the Agincourt
and the Renown; and two more of the
Royal Sovereign class with slightly
less tonnage, namely, the Repulse and

and Eddie Pullen third with 3:Ss:26 2-5.
Teddy Tetzlaff and r. G. Durant finished
fourth and fifth respectively.
Burman died in a hospital at River
side twelve miles away. Mrs. Burman
was with her husband when he died. As
she stood beside him in the council
chamber of the Corona city hall, where
Burman was first taken after the acci-
dent, a woman came beside the cot.
When she left Mrs. Burman accused her
of taking from her husbands clothing g.
diamond pin valued at $500.
a. c. Ramsey, chief Of police. ordered
her searched. He reported that two
nurses found the pin concealed under her
corset. The woman was held pending
the filing of a formal charge.
Bob Burman was born at INLAY City,
Mich, in 1884, and did his first racing
in Michigan.
Burman held the worlds straight
away records up to and including one
mile, and many dirt track marks. In
three races on the Pacific coast this sea-
son he finished second twice and won one
event.

BY BISHOP WARREN A. GAMBLER

A.
The matter of the Sabbath is of SUI
duced much labor-saving machinery, and
from this fact men might infer that
human beings in these times have more
rest than the men of former generations
had. But such is not the case. With the
increase of labor-saving machinery there
has been also an enormous increase in
the things which men require for hv.
ing, AID things which were counted lux
uries twenty years ago are regarded as
indispensable necessarieS now. out or
this has grown vast deal of unrestiuG
labor. Men toll as never before, notwlth-
standing all the labor-saving devices Of
cur day. And, hence, never in the history
of mankind was the Sabbath more need
ed.
While the Sabbath is more needed
than ever before, II is threatened In our
country with greater perils than ever
before. In the north and west IT has
been nearly subverted. 1t has been bet
ter observed in the south, but there are
many evidences that multitudes even in
the south profane it now without scru-
pie or hesitation. If encroachments
upon the sacred day continue during the
next twenty years as they have advanc-
ed during the last twenty years, we shall
have nothing left of what we have
proudly called the American Sabbath,
except a fading memory. This is greatly
to be deplored. 1t is a far more seri-
Gus matter than many suppose.
1t is to be feared that even many Of
the ministers of the Gospel do not fully
appreciate how serious this matter is.
They are very much concerned for the
cause of prohibition, and that is great
cause; but 1t is of infinitely less inn
portance than the Sabbath issue. The
very life of religion is involved in the
observance of the Sabbath Day, and we
shall not be able to advance the cause
Of temperance, or promote any other
good cause, when the Sabbath has been
overthrow.
The morality and spirituality of any
community depend absolutely and in
variably on the observance Of the Sab
bath. IL is a simple fact that there is
not a deeply religious community in
America, or anywhere else on the planet
earth, that does not observe one day in
seven as a day specially devoted to re-
ligion. 1t is very we'll to talk about an
every day religion" but there is GER
tainly precious little of such christiani-
ty where Sunday is not observed. The
prevalence and permanence of piety In
our country depend mainly on what can
be done for them on Sunday. If the
enemies of christianity could overthrow
the sacred day they would do more TO
destroy the power of religion which they
contemn than all the sceptics have
ever done, or ever can do.

GREAT BRITAIN'S FLEET
MORE POWERFUL NOW
THAN EVER IN. HISTORY

the Resistance. The first two were to
be of 27,5OO tons. the others of 25,75O
tons. All were to have 15-inch main
batteries with IL to 16 6-inch guns, anti
aerial guns, etc. The Agincourt was to
be built at Portsmouth. the Renown at
Fairfield, the Repulse at the Palmer
yard, and the Resistance at Davenport
These were part Of the ships under dis
cussion in the debate. Except for the
foregoing known information as to their
authorization, size, power, ETC., nothing
more is known of them, officially or
otherwise, and quite properly as a mat
ter of necessary reserve. All that is
known is that the Agincourt and. her
big sister ships were provided for, but
no further reference has ever been made
to them.
Five more big new dreadnoughts were
provided in 1914. namely, the Royal
Sovereign, Royal Oak, Resolution, Ram
lilies and Revenge. These have since
become known as the Royal Sovereign
class" The capital ships were to be
of 25,75O tons, with eight or ten 15-inch
main guns and twelve 6-inch. The first
two, the Royal Sovereign and the Royal
Oak, were actually completed, the first
at Portsmouth in December, 1915, and
the Royal Oak at Davenport at the
same time. The Resolution, Ramille
and Revenge were, according to the last
information permitted in Jaynes sum-
mary, building at the Palmer, Beard
more and Wicker yards. and to be COM
pleted in 1916. Beyond this nothing is
known of the ships Of this sclass, ex-
cept that the Royal Sovereign and Royal
Oak were completed and are now afloat
somewhere with their 15-inch guns
The foregoing are the ships around
which the recent debate conferred, and
on details of which ships there is COM
before given. The rare references to
mention ships of an earlier date, such
as the Lion, completed in 1910; the
Royal Princess, in 1911; the Queen Mary,
Of 1914. Admiral Sir John Jellico. in
command of the fleet, dated a recent
letter to the Times from on board the
Iron Duke, and this and the Lion and
Tiger are frequently referred to. But
it is ever the later ships of the Agin-
court, Queen Elizabeth and Royal Sow
ereign class that the veil of complete
silence is drawn except for the fore
going known details.
Without adding details on the prog
ress or completion of the foregoing
ships, Mr. Balfour in his recent speech
declared generally that the fleets are
much stronger than they were six
months ago. They are still stronger than
they were twelve months ago, and their
excess over what we possessed nineteen
months ago is still greater"

Atlanta Must Not Adopt
EurOpe'S Sabbath

In addition TO the moral and spiritual
value Of the Sabbath day, the sacred
institution is necessary to the physi-
cal health of the people and indispen-
sable for the preservation of social
order. 1t is therefore an imperative
measure of industrial economy. When
the Sacred Day is no longer observed
we may look for a vast deal of strife
and contention in our land. Employers
and employees, observing no Sabbath
day, and having nothing to take the
feverishness out of their clamorons
covetousness, will engage in the most
bitter and disturbing contentious. ours
is an Industrial and commercial ma
ton, and as such it must preserve
the Sabbath day, or perish Hence,
If we had no Sabbath, it would be
the duty of the state to ordain one;
and as we have it, it Is equally the
duty of the state to protect 1t, and to
preserve to the people the material
and vital benefits which it is so well
calculated to secure.
AS a matter of fact, the state of
Georgia has undertaken by law to or
dain and protect the Sabbath day. But
i'm some of the cities, Atlanta included,
there is growing disposition to null
lily these statues. City authorities I'M
dertake to give permission to violate
state laws, and all sorts of pseudo
charitable schemes are brought forward
as pretexts for profaning the Sabbath.
1t is time that the Christian people,
and all good people, rose up against
these encroachments upon our Sab
bath. We cannot afford to exchange
this holy and life-giving institution for
any consideration whatsoever. The
American Sabbath" has been tried, and
it's moral and social effects have been
blessed. We do not want in this coun-
try what is commonly called the Con-
tinental Sabbath" a name derived from
a type of Sabbath observed, or rather
non-observed, which is prevalent in
most of Europe. THE Continental
Babbath" has been tried and found
wanting.
More than thirty years ago DR.. j. c.
Holland wrote in Scribner's Monthly
concerning this matter. He said:
THE most religious and earnest of
the Catholic clergy of Europe lament
the fact that the Sunday of their
church and their several countries is
day of amusement
go to Italy, France, Spain or Ire
land--to any part of Germany, Catholic
or Infidel, and find If possible any
full and benevolent as the Sunday-keep-
ing communities of America. 1t cannot
be done. The theater, the horse race,
the ball, the cricket ground, the lager
beer saloon, have nothing in them that
can take the place of the institutions of
religion
