The world is hungry. To get more
GOOD is an alarming problem.
How can the farms produce more
FOOD when labor is SO scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
rcod crops or how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with
out more labor?
Increase Of labor 10 hardly to be
expected, but there Is one important
means Of help which the Southern
farmer has been utilizing in the
past and that is Fertilizer But this
zoo is beset with difficulties.
Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at
harvest time. The warning nations
appreciate this fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
use Of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the bust
mess expected Of them unless every
freight car is loaded to full ca
eDacity. To load them to full capacity
the fertilizer dealer must have enough
orders in to make up full car load
before he can reasonably hope to get
. shipment. The earlier the carload
orders are placed the better chance.
Of course. of getting shipment. Be

MRS CAMPBELL
PRAISES TANLAC
Says Her Son Had To Live on Milk,
Eggs and Orange Juice.

"My son is so much better since
taking Tanlac that he doesn't look
like the same boy, said Mrs. L.
Campbell, in reference to her eighteen
yeal-old son, w. H. Campbell, whose
condition of i'll health has been the
subject of great concern to his pa
rents. Mrs. Campbell's husband is en-
gineer for the Acme Building & Sup
ply Co., Of Meridian, Miss, and the
family resides at 1417 Fifteenth
street, that city.
"Yes", added the son, who had come
in just in time to hear his mothers
remark, II don't feel like the same
boy, either, for am gaining and
feeling better every day."
"He has had bad form Of stomach
trouble for the past three years., con-
tinued Mrs. Campbell, "and for sever
al months the boy was actually so bad
off he had to live on milk and orange
juice and few eggs. He had a job
with the street car company, but had
to give it up on account of his con-
oition.
"He simply couldn't eat anything
that would agree with him and he
would suffer SO much with gripping
and pains that he'd have to be up and
down all night.
"We had several doctors to see him
and they said number of different
things was the trouble and advised us
to send him to hospital. He wasn't
able to do anything in the way Of
work and nothing seemed to do him
any good until we found out about
Tanlac and got him started on it.
"He is now on his third bottle and
he has improved so much that you'd
hardly know him. He sleeps well at
night and gets up in the morning
bright and cheerful and all his old
troubles have left him. 1t had been
three years since he could do anything
to help around the house, but now he
cuts up the wood and kindling and
can do just anything like that.
"We are all mighty proud of what
Tanlac has done for my boy and we
are glad to recommend it."

MARK TwAIN's PRAYER

Mark Twain once wrote what he
called "The War Prayer. Instead of
the concise old supplication, "Lord,
grant victory to our arms, he pre-
pared an amplifcation of it with a
good deal of tragic detail. He told
Of how regiment, on its way to
battle, stopped at a wayside church
and prayed for victory. A white
robed stranger entered, saying he
had been sent from on high to grant
the petition, providing the men re-
iterated it after a full understanding
of its. import. Then he requested
them to listen while he repeated these
unspoken implications of their desire:
ooh, Lord, we go forth to smite the
foe, Help us to tear their soldiers to
bloody shreds; help us to cover their
smiling fields with the pale forms Of
their patriot dead; help us to wiring
the hearts Of their unoffending wild
ows with unavailing grief. For our
sakes, who adore Thee, Lord, blast
their steps, water their way with
their tears"
Tn the ADVICE OF certain squeamlsn
people, Mark Twain never published
"The War Prayer" during his life
time. His friends told him it was
sacrefigious. Now from among the
great humanitarian's posthumous pa
pers IT, plucked and given to the
world. No one is shocked. No one
regards it as profane. Indeed, at
this time when warning tribes are
praying for victory to all their gods,
from Vishnu to Jehovah, Mark
Twain's supplication seems singular

Three of the children were asleep in

make any sort of statement.
The children gave the alarm and,
when neighbors reached the scene,
Sulliyan's body was lying on the floor,

dictate that he was sitting on the side
of the bed when shot. He was UNI

Mrs. Sullivan says that there had
been trouble; that her husband had
been abusing her and had struck her,
following quarrel. She then secured
the gun and killed him.
There had been trouble between
husband and wife at various times in
the past and for a time they were
separated. It is also stated that Sui
Ivan had claimed that his wife's mind
was wrong and that he had discussed
several times in the past placing her

one of our most devoted and unselfish
members, one who with her kind,
sweet, motherly disposition and Christ
ian character, was always ready with

That, We shall strive to emulate
her most worthy example, praying
that her mantle may fall upon us and

AL. G. BARNES BIG SHOW
is A DISTINCT NOVELTY
SKILL AND FEARLEssNEss IS
AGE WILD BEASTS.
Milwaukee SentineD

Should Al G., Barnes decide to come
to Milwaukee again, he will have to
enlarge his tent. Every available seat
was taken Wednesday night and many
people were obliged to stand during
1 the performance. The show was en-
tirely new and the big crowd was
highly delighted with the fearlessness
and skill of the trainers and tho
knowledge of the animal actors.
| The Barnes show is purely train.
ed animal show and it made hit in
every sense of the word. In the mid
die of the tent was the big steel arena,
where the eats as animals of the
cat family are known, were exhibited.
The bears also appeared in the mid
Gle. arena. Here were exhibited Nu-
bian lions. lonesses. tigers, pumas,
leopards, black, brown and polar bears.
Some Of the big cats were cranky and
the trainers were kept busy every
minute taking the streaks of stub
bornness out of them. The show de-
parted from the time worn features.
One of the most difficult acts was
those of pumas and lions riding on
horse back. Not only did the train
ers have TO train the cats to do their
turns, but the horse also had to be
trained to overcome his natural an
tipathy to the big brutes, The fire as

trained and best looking ever seen in
the city, and they We're popular with
all patrons. Novelties were seen in
the form of trained camels. zebras and
llamas. One of the clowns was very
proud of his trained rooster, and he
had good reason to be 50.
Every one of the several acts was
a feature. The show was not only en-
tertaining and amusing, but 1t was
highly educational, showing what can
be done by time and patience. This
was the first visit of the Barnes show
here, but those who attended hope

USE OF METAL.
In Some Form Nations Dependent Up
on Mineral Production.
Denver Mining Record)

! Practically everything used by tn,
nations of the world is dependent up
on metal for its production. Agricul
ture requires plows and other farm
lparaphernalia; manufacturers mus
have metal, either for machinery or a.
railroads, so vital to the business af.
fairs of the country, are creations OF
iron and steel; and, in fact, every line
Of endeavor owes it's effective exist
ence, either directly or indirectly, to
the mining industry, which therefore is
the basis of all commerce.
Millions upon millions of articles
used in everyday life consume an
enormous quantity of metals of all
kinds: and the demands from this
source are increasing, year by year. To
furnish the metal for these innumer-
able necessities is a herculean task for
the mines; and no fear need be enter
tanned that their output will not find
a ready market. now and forever. 1t
iiiuSt pS liidt Tie IIltIles
Of the United States are called upon
to meet the domestic and export re-
quirements of a nation having pop
ulation in excess of 100000, 200.
Any student of economics can easily
foresee that after the war the Euro
pean demand for metal for recon-
struction purposes will be abnormally
heavy; and the bulk of these require
ments will be purchased in the United
States, the needs of war being sup
planted by the wants of peace.
In reviewing prevailing conditions,
the conclusion must be reached that
more mines should be opened II a
metal shortage is to be avoided. Pro-
duction during the past two years and
more has been enormous. mainly on
account of munition requirements, and
naturally has resulted in a material
lessening of the mineral contents of
the mines, the life of which will be
shortened accordingly.
