THE "CRISIS."

Not since Grant stormed Vicksburg
in deadly earnest, has the picturesque
little Southern city on the MISSISSIPPI
pi been the scene of so much excite
ment as when William N Selig as
sembled his army of players to repro
duce for "The Crisis" which will be
presented at the Hippodrome Friday
and Saturday, with daily matinees,
the spectacular land and water battle
in all its details. The city papers
published daily news of the events as
they we're to be reproduced before the
camera, and, when it came to storming
the city at night, thousands of peo-
pie, says one of the papers, stood
"along the Vicksburg hillsides, on
tops Of tall buildings, or went out in
boats at safe distance, to view the
spectacular conflict" The climax
came with the blowing up of one of
the eight gunboats of the river fleet.
Adjutant General E. G. Scales of the
Mississippi National Guard, cooper
ated fully with Director Colin Camp
bell of the Selig forces, and he, to-
gether with Major George Hogaboom
and other military men of
Vicksburg, assembled 600 trained men
to take part in the battle scenes. In
spite of the fact that hundreds of tons
Of gunpowder were exploded in repro
ducing the most spectacular battle of
the Civil war, only one man, Ford
Dickson, a private in Co. of the
guard, was seriously injured. He ac-
cidentally walked into mine just be-
fore it was set off. He was placed in
a hospital, where he eventually recov-
cred.

Emotions Make Us Human.

There is no great soul without great
machines we may be very efficient In
common life, very successful in what
ever our business may be; but this firm
purpose and mastery efficiency do not
make us men. They leave us pieces Of
effective machinery The finer life,
though it must not be exclusive and ty-

feel, we suffer; therefore we are hui

love; therefore we draw nearer to

Money Not Main Object.

VERMONT AMBULANCE COMPANY
Has Been Organized and is Ready for
Service,

Burlington. June THE Vermont Am.
bulahce company, No. 25, formed by the
Vermont branch OF the American Red
Cross at the request of the United States
government, is now ready and awaiting
orders The company, which is com
manded by DIR. William Stickney of Rut-
land, who practically organized it, con
sists of three surgeons and 1875 men rep
resenting 20 cities and towns of the
state. The company will be taken over
by the government within a few days,
and after a brief period of training at
some point in this country will be sent
to the trenches in France.
Under DIR. Stickney as captain will
serve DR.. A. A. Cross of Willismstown,
DIR. L. j. Lovejoy of Manchester and DIR.
j. A. Wark of Barre, lieutenants. One
hundred and twentythree men have al
ready been accepted toward the neees-
sary l25 and enough more have volun-
teered to more than fill the vacancies.
The preliminary examination has been
sufficiently strict so that DIR. Stickney
feels confident that the final examina
tion, ordered only after the company is
in readiness for training, will throw out
very few ii any of his men.
The places in this state that have fur
nished men for the Vermont ambulance
unit are Rutland, Bellows Falls, Brattle-
boro, Bennington, Middlebury, Proctor,
Poultney, West Rutland, Castleton, Lud-
low, Proctorsville, Saxtons River, Fair
fax, Manchester, Dorset and Walling
ford. Whitehall and Granville, n Y,
also have representatives in the body
The members of the unit will occupy
positions as ambulance drivers, mechan-
les, cooks, stewards, buglers, orderlies,
first privates ard privates.
The duty OF the company will be to
transfer the injured from the first dress
ing station, at the line of battle, to the
feld hospital
Although l25 men are enough TO form
the unit for federal service II is likely
that the Green Mountain state will send
put 100 men as this is the maximum
number and the volunteers already in |
sight make the larger company seem
likely of easy attainment

CAREFUL SOIL PREPARATION
WILL HELP THE WHEAT; RYE

Special care to place the soil in
good condition in preparation for
planting wheat and rye will go a long
way. says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, toward assuring
the production of the bumper crops
hopes to see harvested next year.
If winter grains are to be grown on
land devoted to similud grains dur.
ing the preceding season. the land
crops are removed and occasionally
surface cultivated to kill weeds until
planting time. The plowing should
be to depth of about inches. Just
be narrowed if fiary moist and free
from weeds: otherwise it should be
disked and narrowed.
Wheat and rye may follow practic-
of the way in time. Where choice is
possible however. it is better to have
these grains follow a cultivated crop,
prefera bly, leguminous crop such as
SOY or other beans. or cowpeas. To
have them follow corn is a common
practice in parts of the corn belt. In
the South they may follow cotton and
in the southern Great Plains region,
the sorghums. In some sections far
mers find it goood plan to follow
potatoes with wheat or rye.
If the wheat and rye follow q cul-
tivated crop which has been kept free
from weeds, it is best not to plow the
land The landd may simply be disk
ed and narrowed, narrowing to be
performed again just before seeding.
quired, the seed are covered better
and may be planted in contract with
moist soil. and a more even stand is
obtained.
Fertilizer is used on fany wheat
farms east of central Kansas andNeb-
raska, but is used less frequently in
the region to the west. Fertilizer is
not generally used in growing rye.
In growing wheat where fertilizer is
used acid phosphate is considered OF
chief importa nee. Under present con-
ditions it will hardly pay the farmer to
use potash. From 200 to $50 pounds
of phosphate to the acre is the usual
rate. 1t is best applied through the
drill at planting time
