The war savings drive is now on.
The United States government has
named two billion dollars as the
amount to be raised during the year
1918 through the sale of war savings
stamps. Il
The quotas for these war savings
have been placed on all of the states
on basis Of population and not on .
basis Of financial resources, as were
TIE liberty bond issues. This means
twenty dollars per capita, and on TINS
basis Florida's quota is something
over twenty million dollars, q sum
equal to all three liberty loan issues
combined.
PinelIas county's quota is four nun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars
and this quota has been subdlvided
among the fifteen school districts

CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE"
Stories In Sacred Volume Have Never
Been Equaied, Yale Pro-
fessor Says.

The bulk Of the people-business
men, lawyers, doctors and others don't
read the Bible, but writer's universally
recognize it as the greatest book, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps of Yale univer-
sity said In recent address.
'Being serious book 1t is weak in
humor," Professor Phelps said. "But
think Job intended grim joke when
he said: Would that mine adversary
had written book
mo narrative writer's can match the
style of the Bibles Old Testament
stories-Hume, Gibbon. Rose-they are
all inferior. This is the day of the
short-story writer, Kipling, De Maupas-
SAINT, o. Henry, but their best efforts
fall short Of the stories of the Bible.
So 1t is with its poetry In the Psalms.
It's wisdom Of the Proverbs is just as
up-to-date as the morning paper, and
there is no political economy equal to
the Book Of Gospels.
1T is impossible to overestimate the
Bibles influence on English literature.
Bunyan wrote a great book because
he was saturated with the Bible, and
1t trickled out when he wrote.
"Lincoln knew only two books-the
Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was
a splendidly educated man. To know
the Bible Is to be educated. One of
the finest metaphors in Keats ode TO
Nightingale is taken directly from
the Bible; Nearer, My God, to Thee
is simply a paraphrase Of the Bible"

SUPPLYING HUMUs TO SOILS
First and Best Method Is Addition of
Stable Manure-Plant Green
Crops to Turn Under.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There are three general methods of
supplying humus to the SOIL The first
and best is the addition of stable man.
ure. When properly managed it adds
large quantities of both plant food and
humus. But manure is not always
available. When such is the case, the
best thing to do Is to make it avail
able. Raise more forage, keep more
stock, and make more manure. But
this takes time and capital, so that
other means are sometimes necessary.
When stable manure is not to be had,
plant crops for the purpose of turning
them under, thus adding large quanti-
ties of humuS at comparatively little
cost. Flowing under green crops is
called green manuring. Under certain
conditions this is an excellent practice.
A third method of adding humus Is
to grow crops like clover and timothy.
These crops are usually allowed to
occupy the land for two years or more.
During this time their roots thorough
Iy penetrate the soil. Old roots decay
and new ones grow. When the sod is
plowed up, more or less vegetable
matter is turned under. This, with
the mass of roots in the soil, adds no
small amount to the supply of humus.
Another advantage from the cultiva-
ton of clovers and alfalfa is found In
fact that they are deep-rooted plants,
and when their roots decay they leave
channels deep into the earth, thus aid
ing in the absorption of rains and let
ting in air to sweeten the soil.
Perennial grasses like timothy are par
ticularly valuable as the numerous
fine roots leave the soil in very fine
filth.

The Cherokees are an important
tribe of North American Indians. The
name means upland field, the tribe be-
ing peculiarly upland. They may have
so designated themselves to their first
European visitors. They are probably
the people known additionally to the
Delawares as Talligewi, a powerful
body which once occupied the val
legs of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers,
and afterward was driven south by
the Delawares and. Iroquois. When
first known to Europeans their center
was In the southern Alleghenies, and
they occupied the mountains Of south
ern Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see. Their chief settlements were on
the head waters of the Savannah and
Tennessee rivers, and we're respec-
lively called Elati Tsalaki, or Lower
Cherokee, and Atali Tsalaki, or Up
per Cherokee, speaking two different
dialects. As the white settlers pressed
upon them they retreated westward
until by the treaty Of 1885, they sold
all their remaining country, and the
main body removed to tract assigned
to them west Of the Mississippi. A
considerable number remained be-
hind, and gradually concentrating in
western North Carolina, are now
known as the eastern band of Chero-
KEGS, numbering about 1000.

pusb-gutton Batteries.

Something new in push-buttons mas
been invented by an Eastern man that
bids fair to send the old dry batteries
now in use to ring your front door bell
TO the ashcan. 1t Is quite simple ar
rangement, and it is strange that no
one should have thought of such SIM
nile device. The button Itself is con-
nected to q rod that Is geared to
small dynamo, and when the button Is
pushed the dynamo armature rotates
in the field of a permanent magnet,
thereby generating enough electricity
to ring the bell. The whole unit hard
ly takes up more space than the ordi-
nary push button, and does away with
the constant expense of renewing bat
teries.-From the Electrical Expert
menter.
The question Of the character and
origin of the local gods of Egypt is
still obscure; but paper by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, published in Ancient
Egypt" part 3, 1917, does much to
clear it up. Professor Petrie collected
the original records of these cults, and
Dy IndTklHS lne headquarters vi edCu
deity he arrived at important results.
Ra appears in only one southern city,
and his cult seems to have come from
the northeast. The distribution of
Nut, the mother-goddess, is decidedly
eastern, while that of Amen is west
ern. Set was certainly brought into
| Egypt by the desert road, as he had
there two centers of the first class, and
he was introduced by the Red sea way
to the eastern delta.
The distribution of the Osiride triad
indicates a settlement so early in the
land that the worship was generally
diffused. Professor Petrie sums up
his article thus: 1.-THE geography of
the worship of the gods is thus seen
to have a considerable value histori-
cally, as bearing ON their origin and
J connections. When more complete re
search into the localities of various
uncertain names may extend our iden-
tifications, it will be possible to get
! more light ON the sources of Egyptian
| mythology.

PUT MOON BACK IN THE SKY

Same Thing.

One of the stories given by Mrs. Hes

narratives by which women in Moham-

an evening, seems amusingly sugges-
tive of certain complacent persons
In all lands-who take an exalted view
of the significance of their own dis
coveries and doings.
Once upon a day, once upon time
Nasr Eddin Hodja called to his wife
"Hanuml Hanuml Come and see
the moon has fallen into the well !"
She ran, and, looking into the well,
sure enough, she saw the moon float
ing on the water.
"What shall we do" he asked, "tc
get it out?"
1t was a sad thing to lose the moon
down the well. She rubbed her head tf
think better, and finally said:
81 will bring you hook and rope
and you can pull it out"
This she did; and the nodja let th'
rope down into the water and pulled
The hook, catching on a stone, would
not come up easily, and so he pulled

Suddenly the stone gave way ant

AS he looked up to the sky, he saw thu

She, looking up, agreed with him
and they went peacefully into thu

Remedies for the Earache.

For an earache, dry heat is the SAT-
est remedy. Never should the mother
drop Oil or anything else into the ear
without being especially ordered to do
so by doctor. A small hot-water bag
with flannel cover, kid glove-6nger
filed with salt and then heated in the
oven, or, simply, a flannel made very
hot and covered by another one to hold
in the heat, may be. placed over the
baby's ear to relieve the pain. If this
does not seem enough, then a small
rubber ear-syringe may be filled with
hot water; and while the lobe Of the
ear Is gently held downward and back
ward the mother should use the
syringe carefully, then apply the hot
flannel after drying out the ear. When
pus has formed, or if this simple treat
ment does not relieve the acute pain,
a doctor should be asked to examine
the ear. Possibly the drum membrane
may need to be opened. Hot boric
acid solution or some other disinfect-
ant will be needed to syringe the
ear If pus is present.-Marianna
Wheeler, in the Peoples Home Jour-
nal.

"Redhead" Is Farmers, Friend.

"Redhead" is regular doctor of the
fruit orchard, Systematically search
ing every crack and crevice in the
bark, and testing with his sharp little
augur every spot which looks as
though it might conceal beneath the
bark a, tree-borer. The hundreds of
little holes drilled in the bark do not
hurt the apple trees, but they mean
that many an apple-borer has been
discovered and transfxed on red
heads spearlike tongue, to be swal-
lowed a second later with keen rel
ish, or taken away to a gaping fledg-
ling.
The red-headed woodpecker usually
selects a partly decayed tree in which
to chisel a hole for its nest. Both
father and mother bird take turns in
the excavating. The one that is off
1uty forages in the vicinity for grubs,
beetles, little corn, and preferably
beech nuts. At loving call from its
mate it returns promptly to take it's
turn on the job-about 20 minutes or
half an hour to the shift. "Redhead"
has thrifty habit of storing away
nuts for the winter, frequently to be
appropriated, however, by the SPUR
rels.

In a paper dealing with the Univer-
sity of Oxford expedition to Siberia, of
which he was a member, Fl. q. Hall of

red to the striking psychological eff
fects Of long daylight and long dark
ness in high ATTITUDES, the Scientific
American states.
AS to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours In
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day, there seems to be
a kind of stimulation of the nervous
system, urging people to a feverish
and purposeless activity. This is
especially noticed In newcomers, but
the natives are not exempt from It.
On the other hand, the coming Of the
long winter night is followed by kind
Of reaction, though no general depres-
sion Of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation of work the
period Of sociability begins, and the
circumstances favor a lapse of self
control. This Is the time when "Arctic
hysteria" is likely to show itself. Such
for instance, is a form of hysterical
seizure for which the fungus have {

sings improvisations of his own which
are likely to contain absurd exagger
atoms or laughable Qualifications Of
