Take More Pride
In Your Town

Town pride is a pride that
should be cultivated by every
citizen of Newark.
1t is the duty of every man
who lives in Newark to do his
dead level best for everything
that concerns the welfare of
Newark, because this town is
his home. It is my town and
your town-and it is going to
be just what we make it-you
and me.
To do this is not merely a
privilege, it is d sacred duty.
Whatever helps to build up
a business, or institution, or en-
terprise of any kind in this
town helps to improve the con-
ditions of all jewellers therein.
All the units of a composite
population should work togeth-
err, pull together, build togeth-
err and plan together for the
increased prosperity and hap
piness for their community.
We should gather the lessons
taught by other towns and
cities that have felt the inspira-
ton of city pride, and then APP
ply these lessons to our own
community.

We all know him, the man
who burns dollars. At this sea-
son the haze of blue smoke
from burning stalks, grass and
other rubbish overhangs his
farm. advertising his destruc-
tiveness to the world.
He revels in the use of fire.
Corn stalks are cut and labor
iously piled by hand and the
torch applied; grass, straw,
and weeds are raked into long
windows and burned. In fact.
he burns about everything in
the field except the cotton
stalks, and the only reason
these are not burned is because
years of burning vegetable
matter have so impoverished
the soil that it is incapable of
growing anything but "bumble-
bee" cotton,th the stalks of which
are too tiny to rake or pick up.
Let's see what he's losing-ac-
tually throwing away.
From analyses at hand. it
appears that corn stalks and
the accompanying fodder con-
tain about one per cent of nitro
gen, or twenty pounds per ton.

So. Weeds. grass and similar
materials probably run equally

cally all the nitrogen contain

THE MAN WHO BURNS DOLLARS

as their direct fertilizing value
and if this be so, their burning
means a total loss of $40 for
each ton destroyed.
In other words, the man with
twenty-acre field of corn
stalks. assuming 1000 pounds
of stalks per acre, is losing a
round 500 when he burns
these instead of blowing them
under. At the same time he is
probably buying fertilizers at
high prices in the effort to
keep his humus-hungry fields
up to profitable yields.
It is not enough to say that
stalks and grass are in the way
of cultivation, for if they are
cut to pieces and plowed under
in time they will very soon be
thoroughly rotted andincorpor-
ated with the soil; nor is it
enough to say that we have no
implements for cutting the
stalks to pieces. for if we have
no disk harrow or stalk cutter,
it will pay many times over to
chop up the stalks with a hoe.
rather than sacrifice theirplant
food and humus value by burn
ing.
This is a time for soil con-
servation and soil building,
time for saving and utilizing
every possible pound of plant
food. The man who fails to do
these things, who burns plant
foods instead of saving them,
will sooner or later find HIM
self up against poverty on a
Worn-out farm.
He will have burned dollars

BCRYING THE DEAD.
One of the European Wars Sternest
Duties.

March 23.-Last night | was de-
tailed with half my section to bury
the dead, writes French lieutenant
in his diary, published in the Febru-
ary Atlantic. The task was not a
pleasant one, but it was accomplished
without reluctance or hesitation.
Having to do the work at night made
it a shade more lugubrious. A guide
conducted US to a little thicket, all
laid bare by grape-shot, to the south
of Perthes and about three kilo-
metres from the first lines. There
was no moon, and it was very near
ly pitch-dark. Trench-rockets streak
ed the sky here and there, and from
the distance came the crack of mus
kerry. Shells went laboring by with
the heavy breathing of wild beasts
in a rage little trench was made
into large one to receive the bodies,
and then we had to set out in search
of them. They had been lying there
for a very long time, and it was only
the recent advance of our lines that
made it possible to bury them. With
some difficulty we managed to make
out these motionless heaps on the
ground. 1t was necessary to search
the pockets and take out papers,
money, etc.; also to unfasten the
Identification badges that are worn
on the arm like a bracelet. 1t was
not an easy thing to do. In this, al
so, I was obliged to set the example.
/ had to put my gloved hand into the
pockets of a foul mass that fell to
pieces at a touch. found nothing
but a pocketbook and diary. The
men then took courage and overcame
their aversion.
When our task was finished, the
bbe-in-frmier who had accompanied
us of his own accord, stepped to the
edge of The grave and said blessing.
And the priest, standing out against
the darkness, lifting his voice above
the noise of battle in last solemn
duty to those pitiful fragments, was
very fine. Every man OF us, whether
moved by religious conviction or not,
felt, the solemnity of the moment,
and knelt to hear the words of for
givenness and of life.
