A Fine Lecture.

The lecture on France, our
Ally" given by Rev. A. f. Buritf
at the Methodist church last Sun
day evening, was a fine tribute to
the great French people, who
threw off the yoke Of their au-
tocratic king a hundred years ago,
when they stormed the bastile on
that July day. The lecture as
given by Rev. Buritf would have
been we'll worth an admission price
to any one at all interested in the
history Of the present day conflict
and its connection with that other
great drama enacted in Europe a
hundred years ago-the French rev.
olution. Many Of the lectures for
which people pay the privilege OF
hearing at chautauquas and other
courses are not as inspiring and in
teresting was as this Sunday even
ing lecture.

"Ole," the SWede.

Did you hear What happened
to Ole?" II ;ou didn't you missed
good thing and a hearty laugh.
The innocent Swede always affords
a good opportunity for an interest
ing bit Of character play. and the
character was put on in the above
playlin a most pleasing manner.
Mr.. Albert Engesser has the charac-
ter down to perfection, and to see
and hear him in this play is to be
kept in a bubbling over state OF
laughter from start to finish. So
well pleased was the opera house
audience that Manager Nelson has
secured the show for another date
later in the season, and If yon want
to laugh don't miss Ole when he
comes this way again.

harvest hands, the minimum of
which is to be S4 for a ten-hour

The wage scale is to be governed
by the price of wheat. If wheat
sells at SITS a bushel, the wages
for a ten-hour day, under the agree
ment, will be $3.50; SIS a day if
wheat sells at 81 a bushel; $3.50 a
day if It brings $3.50. and Sc a day

A bushei Of corn Will buy more fer
tilizer now than Il would in 1914.
Every purchase must be considered on
the basis Of relative values rather
than dollar values.
The high quotations for spring fer
tilizers have caused many farmers to
ask whether it will be possible to use
fertilizers at profit next season. The
answer to this question may be found
by comparison Of the relative pur-
chasing power Of crops before the war
and at the present time.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer cost
S21 per ton. Today the same fertilizer
costs around $50 per ton--an increase
Of SO per cent. In 1914 corn was
worth about 60 cents per bushel. tax
ing the country over. Today it sells at
not less than $1.3O per bushel, on the
farm-more than 100 per cent increase.
The same calculation could be made
for wheat, potatoes, or almost any
other crop (excepting In the case Of
those fertilizers containing potash).
Each individual farmer has merely
to consider whether fertilizers paid
before the war; II so they will pay
even better now.

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
OF nitrates went to make explosives
last year. in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture Of acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut on this supply.
Birthstone, used as a substitute
source of sulphur. must be trans
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found 1t neces-
sary to commander sulphur-carry-
ing boats.
Large quantities Of phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now so by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
4 Higher labor. machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen
eral advance in all raw materials.
varying from Is to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost IS cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful In
1914 at $500 per day 10 now almost
unobtainable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to
conditions such as these; namely,
high-priced fertilizers.

WHAT CAUSED FOOD sHoRTAoEf

Herbert Hoover, U. s. Food Admin
istrator. says there have been two
principal reasons to account for the
present food shortage. First, the ''un-
kindness Of nature" including the late
spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con-
ditions Of rainfall. unexpected frosts
and periods of intense heat In sections
throughout the world.
Second. he gives reduced produc-
tivity Of the soil In Europe" Concern
ing this, Hoover says: This condi-
ton has been brought about by bad
management, unskilled work, and lack
Of fertilizers; and these In turn can
be explained by the withdrawal Of men
from farm and field to army and fac
tory, and the employment on the soil
of overworked women, unskilled old
men and listiess prisoners. Fusther-
more the vicious submarine has sunk
boat after boat filed with nitrates
and fertilizers, conspiring to augment
the pauperixation Of the earth. 80 that
reduction In soil productivity was In
evitable."
