BUY SMILEAGE BOOK.

The Sammy can go to bed when his work is done. There is nc consistency in such an idea. The man who is doing the largest deed for the country today, and that is our soldier boy, deserves all of the advantages which we can give him. We will find it to our profit to invest in one of these coupon books and send 1t off right away. And it will not be in our power to measure the pleasure which it will bring a. bout.
 If we love our Sammies today we will do these little things while yet we may. Perhaps some day it will not be within our power to offer these little comforts. And we have but two choices, one is to make life as pleasant as we can for our men while we may, or wait until they have given their all for US and then put up a stone which bears an inscription which grim time will wear away.

THE HORRORS OF VAR.

Last week, near the Irish Coast, the Tuscania, a large transport ship loaded with Amer ican troops, bound for France, was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. More than 2000 soldiers were on board the big ship, and something over 100 of them lost their lives. This is the first instance, during the war, when an American troop ship has been torpedoed, while carrying soldiers to the battle zone; but 1t only goes to show what may be expected, and will have the effect of putting our people more on their guard. This ship was being conveyed by British protectors, but the sneaking U-boat managed to get under them and give the soldier bearing ship a death blow. While the sinking of the Tusca- mia is a most regretable and heart-rending calamity, it does not prove that the convoy sys- tenn is a failure, by any means, for it is known that more than 100000 American Soldiers have been safely landed on French soil, and this is the only instance wherein harm has been done.
 The effect of this disaster will be to throw around the troop ships stronger cordons of de stroyers and to keep more watchful and keener lookout for the German menace, and the work of transporting American soldiers to France will go right along until enough of them are landed to settle matters, fully, with the Kaiser and his brutal and sneaking horde of barba- rians.
 While this instance proves the possibility of what can be done, and will cause a feeling of ap- prehension and alarm to the peo- pie of this nation, whose sons and brothers are crossing the ocean, nevertheless, the consol- ing thought should remain with them that this was the first time such thing has happened, and that another of it's kind may nev- CT occur, and should 1t do so, let them further bear in mind that the convoy of destroyers are ev- CT present to rescue the soldiers from the sinking ship. So if you have loved ones aboard of ship, on the ocean, remember that the chances of their safe voyage is many times over those of harm coming to them. Our Government is putting forth ev- cry effort to safeguard the voy- age of it's soldiers, and the great American Government general ly succeeds in all of its under takings.

The Attorney General of Ar kansas has promulgated an opin- ion, in which he holds that all voters in the coming May prima- ry election must pay their poll tax for the last tax-paying time before they can, legally, vote. TaX-paying time, for this year, expires on the 10th of April, so if you care to exercise the right of suffrage you must pay your poll-taX by that date, or at least before the 28th of May-prima- " election day. Women, who have failed to assess, may now assess with the County Clerk, and pay their poll-tax and vote Many of them will, likely, avail themselves of the opportunity, and an enlarged primary vote may be expected.

Fertilizing Materials.

There IS a serious shortage of potash. Soils deficient in this plant food will have to have the deficieny supplied mainly through wood ashes and the small amounts of potash availble in the refuse from about the farm that is turned into the soil. Phosphorus can be obtained in a readily available and relatively cheap form as Acid Phosphate. However, later in the season. ground rock phosphate may have to be substituted for this. Cot ton Seed Meal is an excellent fertilizer furnishing in an organ- ic form small amounts of both potassium and phosphorus along with about 6 per cent nitrogen. These ingredients applied ac- cording to the methods given be- low for special crops will give eXcellents results.
 Corn.
 Corn should have an applica tion of from 300 to 800 pounds of q mixture composed of equal parts Acid Phosphate and Cot ton Seed Meal for the average hill soils of the county. For the richer lands, larger proportion of the Acid Phosphate will give better results. All of this may be applied in the drill before the corn is planted, or better meth cd will be to apply half in the drill before planting and then apply the remaining half when the corn is twelve inches high.

Later on when they came to sell
the land plaintiffs discovered that
they were short quite quantity
of land and found that the de-
PENDANT had included the area of
all streets and alleys in the town
of Denver in arriving at the
amount of land, although he did
not own the lots adjacent to most
of such streets. The district court
awarded the plaintiffs judgment
for the deficiency in the quantity
of land each r espective plaintiff
had purchased, included in the
streets adjacent to the lots not
owned by Mr.. Mulhall. The de-
tense made was that the original

contracts merged in the deed to
have the area calculated as it had
been done. The court found
against defendant on both con-
tentions and gave judgment for
approximately $4,000 in the two
cases; and Mr.. Mulhall appealed
to the supreme court, where the
decisions were sustained. M.
Reese Hattabaugh and A. S.
Hardy appeared as attorneys for
plaintiffs Lies and Lorentz.
Our readers will perhaps re-
member that the deal for this land
was made in October, 1910, at the
time when all of the Mulhall land
was on sale. At that time any of
the land from 40 acres up could
be bought at $65 per acre.

The supreme court last week

These cases arose out of the sale

louder screamed the 9 cold North
Wind, so that nobody heard him for
a long time.
But after whit something hap
pened, and when / tell it to you,
you'll be so surprised and happy that
you will forget how lucky it is. Well,
just as the Yellow Dog Tramp was
giving up all hopes of finding the
little rabbit, Billy Bunny himself
poked his little pink nose out Of tht
old hollow tree and said, "Mr. yell
low Dog Tramp, where did you come
from? And when that. dog tramp
heard Billy Bunny he almost turned
O. somersault, he was SO surprised.
I've come after you he said.
Nov squeeze inside my wooden
muffler and I'll see If can't find the
way home" So the little rabbit got
underneath the muffler right up close
to the tramp dogs warm neck, and
then the dog pulled the muffler on
tighter and off he went on his way
back to the Old Brier Patch. On and
on he ran, through the binding snow
until he lost his way. He couldn't
tell which road to take, for there
wasn't any road to see, nothing but
snow, and all the trees were filed
with snowfIakes and all the bushes,
too.
"Oh, dear met" said the poor yell
low Dog Tramp. I'm lost ana so are

gave a long, mournful howl and sat
down in the snow.
But somebody heard that mourn

and he came out Of his cave and
when he saw the Yellow Dog Tramp
and Billy Bunny's head peeking out

Ancient Castle
Built Like Ship

American Naval Base, France
Correspondence Of The Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The Omitted States
Ship Garcia" a craft that, never went
to sea and never will, a vessel"
| with stone walls, underground dun
geons, twenty miles of tunnel and a
vast hulk OF masonry anchored to
mother earth, is one of the sights
at this port.
1t is massive castle standing at
the waters edge that bears this
strange name. 1t is an ancient cha
teau, built 600 years ago, in the
IXIIIth century, and one Of the mar
wells of Gothic architectural construc-
ton. 1t is used now as the United
States naval barracks, and being put
+ to naval uses, it was given a naval
christening the u. S. S. Garcia. It
is no nickname, but is the accepted
, title known to all officers and men.
Being christened as a United States
ship even the batt1ements have be-
come decks. When down in the old
dungeon, sailor guided me upward
by saying:
'aThis way, sir, to the main deck"
And we climbed up the "hatchway"
of crumbIing stones--to the main
deck" of Gothic masonry twelve
feet thick.
The way this castle came to be
need as a United States warship
was this: The United States Garcia
is in reality a small steam yacht,
used during the Spanish wars. 1t
was rather out of date and was tied
IN to the castle wall. Here it be-
came very useful in making out re-
QUESTIONS for supplies needed in the
castle. no make requisition for a
castle would seem quite irregular.
And SO everything was requisitioned
for the United States Garcia, and
that way the castle got its equip
ment without distributing any for
manties.
