WHEAT STRAW VALUABLE

If all the wheat straw raised in
Kansas in one year were properly
applied to the soil it not only would
supply organic matter but increase
greatly the productivity of the soil,
but would also add more than $12,-
100000 worth of plant food annually,
according to R. l. Throckmorton, as
sistant professor of soils in the Kan
sas state agricultural college.
"Wheat straw" says Mr.. Throck-
morton, "is one OF the most valuable
by-products Of the farm and if it is
burned not only is the organic matter
destroyed, but most of the plant food
as we'll. The most economical method
of utilization is the use of all the
straw possible for feed and bedding
and the application of the manure to
the soil. When this is not possible
straw should be applied as a surface
rate of one to one and half tons
dressing during the winter at the
per acre. A heavier application should
be avoided.
"When top dressings of this kind
are made the straw acts as a surface
mulch and aids in the conservation of
moisture. Later it becomes incor-
,orated in the soil mass and supplies
organic matter and plant food"

CLEAN UP

Now let US give the war rest,
The rout, the siege, the sally,
And gayly shed our coat and vest,
And 60 and clean the alley!
Let's gather up the dogs and cats
Which have this life departed,
And let the cans and bricks and hats
Of to the: dump be carted.
In winter you may voice your views,....
Which you believe important
And base long sermons on the news,
But in the spring you'd ortn't.
Then every able-bodied man
Should whoop the "Clean Up" slo-
And chase the old tomato can,
The cast-off hat and brogan
So let US clear our bulging brows
Of trifling thoughts and narrow
And gather up the old dead cows,
And work the rake and harrow.
The rubbish left by careless men,
And lazy human cheeses,
Will bring a host of germs again,
And they'll bring punk diseases.
And forty billion flies will come,
AS many microbes bearing,
And round our weary heads they'll
hum
And keep US busy swearing.
Clean up! Clean up! On every blocl
Let all the workers rally!
No man should stand around and tall
Until he's cleaned the alley!

DODGE CARS WORK
AT LEAST EXPENSE

Records Kept Show Dodge Machines
DO Miles at Two Cents Flat.
The report of the department of
public works on the individual main
tenance cost of 81 automobiles oper-
ated by the department shows the
Dodge Brothers motor car operated
by Mr.. John Dunn was the most econ
omically driven car in the depart
ment. The statistics include every
expense incurred by the cars from
July l, 1915, to December l., 1915,
gasoline, oil, repair cost, tire expense
ETC., and show that Mr.. Dunn's car
was operated at the low cost of ex-
actly two cents per mile.
The five Dodge Brothers cars used
in the department also are given sew
eral records which place them at the
top of the low maintenance records
Not one of the 81 used in the de-
partment was run for the six months
at a lower cost per mile than any
one of the five Dodge Brothers cars.
They also showed the highest mile
age per gallon of gasoline Of any
touring car in the department.
Three of the Dodge cars were op-
Grated for the six months without any
expense on tires. On the other two
cars of this make the only tire ex-
pense was for the replacement of
spare tires which were stolen from
the machine.
The report shows many interesting
comparisons of the maintenance cost
of automobiles which range in cost
from two cents a mile for the Dodge
Brothers cars to 27 cents mile for
one of the heavy duty trucks.
"Such figures are interesting to
motor car owners and to prospective
buyers of motor cars" said H. A,
Voter I, local distributor for Dodge
Brothers cars.
"In these days of the high cost
of gasoline every one is looking for
car that can be operated economic
ally but it is seldom you can find any
owner who can tell you the exact cost
per mile for the operation of his car.
Such Dodge Brothers owners who
have recorded the expenses for their
cars have found them exceedingly low
and that they were getting unusually
high mileage on a gallon of gasoline.

Let us have plenty Of fun, but don't
let us have nothing but fun. A per-
Sol who laughs all the time is a very
silly person. He needs moments of
seriousness to straighten him out; to
bring out his true human quality. It
is. a bad sign some men show who
cannot talk without joking. To them
the drama Is a farce and the leading
man a clown. We can do without the
tragedy, and should not have too
much comedy. It is a fine thing for
q man to come around where you are
once in a while with a sensible re-
mark, something. that has q mean
ing to it. And especially to the chill
dren one should not be SO funny, nor
should he be dull or stupid. There is
a way of being serious without being
a bore; in fact, it is the only way to
act SO as not to be one. 1t is very
hard to try to be funny, but harder
still to be funny. The whole subject
is che that demands more attention
than 1t gets, for there is a strong So
cfal tendency to do things to make
others laugh, which so very often
leads n to make a fool of himself.

The Canadian government is spend
the original Welland canal in recon-
.structing the waterway. The old canal
had rs locks, each 270 feet long; the
new will have Seven locks, each 800
feet in length. Each will have a lift
of 46k feet, making a total lift of
325h feet in the length of the canal.
gates will be of the single-leaf
pattern, only one gate being required
at each end of the lock-. At Panama
the lock gates inter, two gates being
required at each end of a lock. The
Panama gates weigh $50 tons each.
The Welland canal gates-of structur-
al steel-will weigh 1,160 tons each.
They will not stand squarely across
the channel, but will slant into the
opposite wall, the length of the gate
being three feet more than the width
of the canal. The lower gates will
be Is feet high, 80 fee long, and ten
feet thick. A better understanding or
these dimensions may be had by the
statement that each gate will BE about
the height Of an eight-stofy building
and the thickness will provide a drive
way for automobile and other vehi-
cles, as well ~. foot passenger way.
The lower gates of the Welland canal
are said to be the largest and heavt
lest in the world.

De NOT AFRAID,

Fear Is the great INSTRUCTOR. Lack
of courage has kept more potential
big men and women In little circles
than perhaps any other single spiritu-
al influence. Fear spikes daring plans.
hinders the achievement Of tho auda-
cious ideas, dissipates dreams that
show promise of transformation into
actually and rings . black curtain
down upon the scene that holds great
loneliness and beauty. Fear Is the
great procrastinator. It palsies prom
Use and puts a checkrein upon per-
Torrance. It steals time from work
and enthrones doubt. Fear is . boon
companion to disaster. The mind in
the grip Of fear turns from the light
upon the mountain to the shadows in
the valleys. The face OF fear Is the
bleakness Of the past, but its clouds
cannot combat the piercing rays OF the
sunshine of the future. Resolve to
turn your back on the misfortunes of
the past. Let the roseate hues of the
future command you to 90 onward.
Take courage from a dream, dare and
do. Courage strides forward shoulder
to shoulder with determination. Cour-
age will sunder the thickest wall,
cleave the bitterest opposition, dis
count the impossible. It is a magic
talisman that puts a smile on your
lips, high hopes in your heart and the
luster of beauty revealed in the eye.

Prof. E. C. Titus, in an address,
states that light Is a much better cure
for disease than a hot-water bag or
poultice. He says that when rays of
light fall on the skin, some are ar
rested by one layer Of skin and some
by another, while some are not
stopped until they have penetrated
the subcutaneous tissues. When the
light is thus arrested it produces radi-
ant heat, whifh has a higher penetrat-
ing power t4zs.eonvection heat, such
as generated by poultices, etc. Radi-
ant heat penetrates two inches or
more, while convection heat is excited
principally on the surface.

The London Observer explains the
causes for the different kinds OF
dreams which w are wont to expert
ence, as direct results OF physical con-
ditions which surround us at the time.
Thus, when we dream of appearing in
company attired In insufficient cloth
ing, 1t is due to the fact that at that
time we are not possessed of our usu-
al day attire. We often dream Of
flying through space, which comes
from the fact that we are sensible of
no pressure when lying in bed. Ex-
ternal causes, such as noises, etc,
may also be responsible for the char
acter Of our dreams, by exciting the
subconscious mind.
