Time Is Valuable.

Habit accustoms US to doing most
of the everyday things in particular
ways, and we think of them only when
they chance to be done differently We
sometimes get the habit of being late
in keeping engagements, and feel that
the loss, if any, is our own affair. 1t
is also the affair of the one we keep
waiting, as he may consider his time
of much value. Only the idle and

value, can afford to waste it by care

LEWIS HITS GEN. CR0ZlER
Body That Ordnance Bureau
Rejected His Weapon.

Washington, Dec. 24-Col. Isaac
Lewis, inventor of the machine gun
which bears his name, in testimony be-
fore the senate military affairs commit
tee, blames General Crozier for the
failure to supply guns to the Ameri-
can forces now in France and declared
the war department is cursed with
Crozerism."
Among other statements made by
Colonel Lewis were these:
"The American forces in Europe
have no guns except those they got
from France.
"The Browning gun, which was
adopted by the war department, ex-
lists only on paper and is a Pigment of
the Imagination.
''The ordnance bureau has always
been hostile to Lewis guns; it has re-
garded them with suspicion, notwitll-
standing thousands are in use in lsu-

phate has but little agricultural value,
and many materials now used in fer

Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast Of Spain, this side
of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
ranean freighters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
AT these places the pyrites are burned.
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later on, ton for ton
this acid is niixed with rock phosphate,
and in jllis way the acid phosphate of
commerce is produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood, bone and tankage of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production of the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production of a
sufficient supply of food crops.
Some of these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine,
and still others are tied UP in neutral
ports all over the world
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture of the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat in this trade will carry four
thousand tons Of pyrites. Every ton
of pyrites will make in the neighbor-
hood of four tons of acid phosphate,
or up to eight tons of complete fer
tilizer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means a loss of the acid for the fer

Use Hioh-Grade Fertilizers.

With fertilizers high priced and
scarce this year, it is more important
than ever to use high-grade rather than
low-grade goods. Plant food always
costs the consumer more in low-grade

argument for high quality-less freight

however, this increase in cost is more
than balanced by the increase in price
which the farmer receives. for his crop.
Were this not the case, the American
farmer and the American farm would
indeed be in a bad way.
