walking skeletons who could barely
walk, thrust out in rags and shoeless,
to make their way, as best they
could and if they could, to the allied
line. Many never reached that long
prayed-for haven, but exhausted
with cold and hunger died by the
wayside. And it is the people re-
sponsible for such fiendish wicked
ness that reach out their hands and
demand the allies feed them!
The Wicked prosper-for a time.
With our narrow span of life we
grow impatient because justice de.

is inevitable, and children will pay

"dogs." These victims, too, know
bow Huns fed others.
The starved millions in Belgium,
and Poland, and Armenia, whose
Red Cross supplies were intercepted
and used by Huns; these skeletons
would gladly rise from their un-
marked graves and help feed the
Huns. And innocent children who
trustingly smiled as they ate the
poisoned sweets, they could tell in
lisping words what should flavor the
food for Huns. And those who died
in torture from drinking at poisoned
wells, these also would serve al cup
bearers while Huns are fed.
Almost the first utterance from
surrendered Germany was demand
on the allies for food, and as this
demand was flashing across the
ocean, Hup armies, in anything but
3 famished condition, were marching
nome. At the same time reluctant
prison doors in Germany opened.
and through these doors came, by
thousaads, such wrecks Of manhood

WOOD ASHES MAKE .--.
VALUABLE FERTILIZER

Wood ashes are certainly worth
saving. Ordinarily, they are consld-
cred to contain half as much potash
a. kainit contains. This means, at
prevailing prices for potash. that
wood ashes are worth at least $4,000
per ton.
But ashes are quite variable in
composition. At one experiment sta
ton several analyses were made OF
fresh, unleached, hard wood ashes
produced in ordinary farm homes.
The average Of all tests showed that
such ashes contain over 8 per cent
potash, over 2 per cent phosphor1c
acid, and about 25 per cent lime.
Such ashes are much more valuable
than ordinary furnacs ashes, and are
worth over enc and q half times %
much as the, price named above.
. II shold be remembered that hard
wood, such a. eak and hickory, pro-
duces ashes much Kicker in potash

Wood ashes should not be mixed
with. stable manure, since the lime IN
the ashes would cause the nitrogen
in the manure to pass off INTO the air
as ammonia gas. Neither should ash

since the lime would change some OF
the available phosphoric acid into q
form less available for the use OF
plants.

facts the Food Administration warns
against excessive optimism over the
situation, since there will be a con-
tinued shortage. Of mill feed compared
with pre-war years. The price of these
feeds is being maintained by regula-
ton at an artifcialiy low level which
