A Coincidence.

April is the birth month of Edward
Everett Hale. If he were alive every
body knows what he would be doing.
He gave the pledge Of that when, II
- The Man Without Country he
made Philip Nolan say these words to
Vaughan:
Stick to your family, boy: forget
you have a self, while YOU do every
thing for them. Think Of your home,
boy; write and send, and talk about
1t. Let it be nearer and nearer to your
Thought, the farther YOU travel from
it, and rush back to it when YOU are
free, as that poor black slave is doing
now. And for your country, boy, and
the words ratified in his throat, land
for that flag and he pointed to the
ship, "'never dream dream but of
serving her as she bids you, though the
service carry YOU through thousand
hells. No matter what happens to YOU,
no matter who flatters You or who
abuses you, never look at another flag.
never let a night pass but you pray to
(, God to bless that flag. Remember, boy,
that behind all these men YOU have to
do with. behind officers, and govern

! Perhaps it is not altogether coinci
dence that the boys of the country are
summoned to the flag in an especial
way on the birthday of the man who
wrote those stirring words.

How to Have a Good Pasture.

In the August Farm and Fireside, we
read:
while better results in pasturing are
early in the season on burned
over fields, the ultimate effect upon the
stand of grass, and especially of the
choice forage stand, is bound to be bad.
The burning cannot help destroying the
crowns of many of the plants and also
much of the seed that might have been
dropped the previous year, as well as any
plantets just starting.
The early growth of grass left without
any protection from the previous years

Greatest Advertiser of Them ALL" Now, do you think
there is any direct connection between the two dis

when my little store closed its doors
upon its first days business, away back in
1861, the sum of S24.67 was found in the old

This May Be the Reason Some
Don't Advertise

Judge: The Lion was telling the
Leopard why he roared in the jungle
when going about hunting. Doing
business openly and with plenty of
Advertising the Lion said, "is what
make my reputation. got my char
acterization as king of beasts by
blowing my horn. Always let the
other fellow know you are around,
and they will respect and fear you"
The Rabbit, hiding and shivering
in a clump of pampas grass, over
heard this conversation, and the
next day he pondered upon it. He
decided it was better to have the
other animals fear him than to live
himself in constant fear. So the
Rabbit filled his lungs with a great
breath and tried to roar like lion.
Coyote, learning of the Rabbits
whereabouts by his roar, hoped on
to the Rabbit and ate him up.
Moral: If you haven't got the
goods there is no use to advertise it.

Hest ages. 1t is hard, yellow and brit

is found III veins OF beds, mostly near
active volcanoes. The imported sui
phur generally comes from SoIfatia, in
Sicily, bat large quantities are also
procured from copper and iron pyrites
These minerals are heated, and the sui
phur, being volatile, flies off in fumes,
which are conveyed by means Of pipes
to a condenSing room. If left in the
powdery state in which it cOndenses it
is called flour of sulphur. If melted
and cast into bars it is called roll sui

About fifty years ago a German

He built a platform on which were
placed some huge bellows worked by
steam at a very high pressure. These
were supposed to blow away any
clouds gathered above Otto maintain

practicable, and after a few months
experiment OttO gave up trying to fight

OF BANKS SHOWS AMERICA IS
 RICHE ST IVA TION

Washington, March 27.-American na- uonal banks have set a new high record for resources, again revealing the United States as incomparably the richest nation in the world.
 Comptroller Williams announced tonight that on March 5, the date of the last bank call, the assets of the national banks aggregated more than $16,O00, ,Oo0, 900 exceeding by over S5OOO,0OO the combined resources of the Bank of England the Bank of France, the Bank of Italy, the Bank of Spain, the Bank of Norway. the Bank of Sweden, the Swiss National bank, the National Bank of Denmark, the Bank of Japan and the Reichsbank of Germany.
 Reports of national banks in the cen tral reserve cities, and reserve cities throughout the country as of March 5 just complied, said the comptroller S statement show thar on that date the resources of these banks were s210 ,0O0 larger than ever before in their history, the previous high-water mark having been reached November IT, 1916 The increase as compared with Decem- Der 27 1916, was $4So,OO0,0O0
 The reports have thus far been com

piled for only about one-fifth of the coun- try banks, or banks outside the reserve cities. If the assets of the other country banks have increased at the same rate as those thus far compiled, the total in- crease in country bank resources will be approximately s250, 100000, as compared with December 27. On this basis the increase in the resources of all national banks in central reserve and reserve cities and country banks from December 27 to March g. will approximate s730 COG. .0Oo making the total assets of all national banks March , considerably in excess of s16, ,OO0, COG, 900. .tsh.I.I
 AS the total resources of all national banks on April {, 1913, amounted to only S11, ,OS1, ,OO0, 900, the increase of resources for the past four years have amounted to approximately s5,0OO,O GOO.
 "The amount of bonds of foreign gov ernments and of other foreign securities held by our national banks on March 5 was approximately $33s, ,000, 900 or but little more than per cent of their total re- sources.
