CAR SHORTAGE EN-
BARRASSES FARMERS

Last year American farmers used
four and half million tons of COM
mercial fertilizer" says an editorial
in the current tissue of Farm and
F1reside, most of which was deliy-
cred by the railroads within a ship
ping period of eight weeks. To put
it more simply, the railroads hauled
and delivered more than half a mil
lion tons week, and nobody was in
convenienced much by failure to get
ms FERTILIZER when he needed it.
But this year the country is still
struggling along with car shortage
that began about October 1st with
$4,000 cars, and according to the la.
test authentic reports there is a
present shortage of 10000 cars.
Somebody will have to wait for his
freight.
THE fertilizer folks, along with
many other business ENTERPRISES
stand a good chance of losing part
OF their 1917 business if the public
learns of this condition too late. But
what Is more important, land that
needs fertilizer will give disappoint-
ing yields, for lack OF it, unless a sub
stitute can be found at the last mo-
ment."

MORE THAN "GOOD RESOLVES"
NEEDED TO GET OUT OF DERT

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion is an interesting article on
debt and how to get out of it by
n woman who was almost ruined by
her husbands carelessness and ex-
travagance. Among other things
she says:
IF family that has been living
outside its income wants to start to
live inside, something more than a
good resolve is necessary. Usually
that man and woman has got to
form wholly new circle of friends.
They must leave thcse who are living
outside, and take up their abode
among those who are living inside.

Everything can happen in the next

whole worlds will be smashed to
atoms and drop out of space. and the
girl you love go back on you. In the
next hour the house may burn. Won
may quarrel with your best and
dearest friend, some one NAV rive
you poison, your fortune may be
stolen, the government may change.
the temperature may rise or fan

next hour is what you ever were and
what you ever may be compressed
into sixty minutes. 1t is the period
OF hope deferred, of supreme victory,
OF total annihilation, and the en-
trance to an assured immortality.
Fixed as the stars in heaven. unal-
terable as the law of gravity. it
stands before you like the grim

the marvellous variety of human ex-
