If there Is too much ammonia in

second application to your cotton, IT.
vii lmake the weed grow too fast to
fruit properly, just as too much rain
will give you all the stalk you are
looking for, but the stalk will grow
too fast to fruit as it should.
This 1850 goods we are manu-
featuring has the ammonia and the
phosphoric acid in the right proper
ton to make plant food to furnish
fruit with the weed. It Is an ideal
fertilizer for the second application
and should be applied just as soon as
you get your cotton thinned out end
cleaned out. You want to feed your
crop along as 1t grows just as you
feed your mules as they work. You
don't feed your mules enough Mon
day morning to last them until Sat-
urday night. And you should not
think Of trying to feed them enough
in April to last until October. And
that is just what you are doing with
your cotton. Along in July and Au-
gust, when your cotton is fruiting
and needing food worse than at any
time in Its life, when the strain on
1t is greatest, the food supply is
greatly weakened and growing
weaker every day. The result is your
cotton "sheds." II 1t were properly
supplied with plant food it would not
shed.
Don't forget that its miller's rule:
First come, first served.

In the fifteen years since he wrote

For a long time we had known that
Leo Ditrichstein was an artist OF un-
usual intelligence, charming COM
panion, host whose guest it was a
pleasure, rather than duty, to be; a
man Of the world, yet unworldly; an
idcalist who curiously combined Gym
cism with sentiment. Yet never until
last Tuesday did we discover that if
he were an hour older he would be a
Turk,
This is the way it failed to happen.
A trine more than fifty years ago
the wife of Baron Sigusmund Lads
laws Ditrichstein, Leo's mother, had
occasion to travel from her home in
Tamsvar, Hungary, to tho Turkish Dor
der. The year previous the Baron had
returned from England, where he had
been living for years III exile because
Of his part in one of the sporadic and
unsuccessful revolutions by which
Hungary, like ireland, tried to throw
off the yoke
Then there were no railroad trains
or, if there were, the schedules were
no more reliable than they are at pres
ent. Anyway, to be certain OF being in
time, the Baroness took passage in Il
stage coach. But her precautions were
in vain. Little Leo was born an hour
before the Turkish border was reached
and the driver did not know there was
another fare to be collected unit! the
coach arrived at its destination.
Dtrichstein, the boy. was 40 child
prodigy. Art did not shine before his
vision as Il guiding and golden star
Rather he was lazy, idle and naughty
depending on his facilc memory, ma
tive ability and charm to escape scod-
ings. His education in Tamsvar was
accomplished as reluctantly as that OF
other lads. Unaware Of the dstinc-
ton and acclaim destined for him, his
small companions peltcd him with muc

Owing TO the elaborate scenic effects
the opening performance of "Seyen
Days Leave" at the Park Theatre will
be given Thursday night instead Of
Monday. This London dramatic sue.
cess is in four acts and seven scenes,
written by Walter Howard, author Of
The Story of the Rosary and STAGED
by Lawrence Marston.
"Seven Days Leave" was produced
at the late Sir Henry Irving's Lyceur
Theatre, London. in February Of ln

made a record for London productions
since the beginning of the war. 1t ap-
pears to have a tremendous patriotlc
appeal, and as such the Army and Nav
departments at Washington and The
British War Mission are interested
in it.
For the American version of "Seven
Days Leave" the producers, with the
permission of Mr.. Howard, called into
service Max MARGIN, the young man
responsible for such melodramstic sue
cesses as "The House Of Glass" and

children, but the average number
reared by an American couple is scarce
ly more than two. American standards
are so high that the cost of children is
killing off the old stock. Monogamy is
not unnatural, but society has done its
best to make II so. The marrying age
Is nearer forty than twenty, and III
England in the professional classes it
is nearer fifty. The effect is to make
the children inferior and to raise the
divorce rate. In "Why Marry" Helen
observes that there is divorce to every
eleven marriages. Uncle Everett re-
plies that she is wrong. That was the
rate last year. This year it is one
divorce to every ten marriages. The
playwright did not put this in merely
TO be funny. 1t is the truth
"Why Marry?" has the same quality
Of humor that Mr.. Williams displayed
in his charming novelette,, "Remating
Time" which he described as an idyll
Of divorce. W. D. Howells in discuss
ing the changes in American humor in
"Harper's Magazine" classed Mr.. Will
iams's work in this idyll as the type OF
the finest humor Of our time. He sale
that in the perpetual paradox of the
tale there was the pleasure of Gilbert's
finest moments, that neither Bernard
Shaw nor Sir James Barry surpasse,
the paradox, and that we may fifty re
