 Nursing Is Fine Preparation.
 Therefore, the only solution to the problem-the only way to provide sui fieient number of nurses to care for the American soldiers in Europe-is for women of the Southwest to answer the call of the Red Cross and say We will help you fill the necessary number"
 There are 75 accredited schools of nursing in this district that will pre- pare volunteers for service. Two years duty is required.
 Nursing education not only prepares for a large variety of professional fields. but it is an excellent prepara- ton for home and family life and for public service in many ways. Almost upon enrolment the student begins her service to the community in help. ing 10 care for the sick. as part of her instruction and training. This service to the community will be greatly in- creased in war time. because the con, ditians of war, which take wage-earn CTS from the homes and nurses from the civilian hospitals. produce an ln- creased amount of sickness and dis tress among the civilian population, with decreased facilities for guarding It's health.
 It might be added that enrolment tn the Red Cross does not compel one 10 20 into war service, though there is moral compulsion that one should do so.

American-Made Potash
 Good As German Kind

If there is any doubt in the mind of farmer about using fertilizers con. taining American-made potash, in the belief that it is not as good as that which was formerly obtained from Ger many, his mind can be set at rest by any chemist or agricultural authority Any one who knows in what form the potash exists in the American-made product will declare that muriate or sufiate of potash is the same to the plant whether it be obtained from American sources or Germany, and that the plant asks no questions as tC where it originated, but feeds on ii just the same.

If the southern farmer is to do his share in producing foods for man and beast, and, at the same time, grow cot. ton fibre for the nation, he must either increase his crop acreage, or else grow considerably more per acre than GUS tomary.
 In view of the scarcity and high price of labor at the present time, il seems to be the part of wisdom for farmers generally not to mate rially increase the crop acreage, but to increase the acre yields.
 Increase Yield Per Acre
 Acre yields can be increased by better preparation of the seed bed, by the use of good seed of varieties adapt ed to the region, by using a more lib- eral application of the right kinds of fertilizers and by better cultivation of the growing crops.
 While all of these factors influence acre yields, let us call particular at tention at this time to the kind and amount of fertilizer to be used. Prac- tically all of the southern soils are deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash and these must be supplied in some form to get the largest yields aud DtSSeSl lafiH pfOTlS. Wnlle the proper use of these materials will in crease the yields per acre and help supply the nations needs, the wise farmer will at the same time strive to get the largest financial returns from their use To do this, he must exercise care in buying them as well as in applying them.
 The farmer should understand that plants use fertilizers as foods only af- ter they have been dissolved by the soil water. and that which is not sol uble is not available to the plant. It is to the farmers interest, therefore, to know that the fertilizers he is buy ing are guaranteed to contain stated amount Of available plant food.

Raise Home Supplies
 And Some To Spare

"Store bought" foods and feeds are too high priced for any farmer to pay. even if he could find them for sale. The wise southern farmer will get in crop of corn and velvet beans, pota- toes, vegetables of various Nnds, grow few hogs and poultry and oth- erwise look out for the needs of his family and his tenants. With all of food products bringing such good prices. the southern farmer should do patriotic bit if he would raise enough to spare some for the armies while he is raising his cotton crop.

Quick Acting Form.

For the best results in the eultiva- ton of general field crops, materials carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and some potash should be applied. Pot ash is more deficient fn the light and sandy soils than in clay soils. Not less than 150 to 200 pounds of com plete fertilizers per acre should be used and hundreds of farmers find more than this amount to be most profitable. Fertilizers containing these necessary plant foods are generally es. sential for the most profitable produc ten of all field crops Since there Is such a world wide need for crops, and since farm products are higher now than ever before, it follows that the farmer who strives to fulfill the na. tons needs just now by the use of such plant food as is necessary, SC cures at the same time the largest pos sible financial returns for himself.

 The Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross, the mobilizing agency for nurses in military service, still is in urgent need of recruits. The Red Cross wants the strong, brave, competent women of the Southwest to step forward and prepare to go to France and help nurse the brave sons of the United States when they fall on the battlefield.
 Thousands of Nurses Needed.
 This appeal to the Southwest is is- sued by Miss Lyda Anderson, head of the Nursing Department, Southwest ern Division American Red Cross, and should be heard by every woman in this district. The need for more nurses is so acute that the surgeon-general of the United States estimates that with in short time the Red Cross Will need 10000 nurses for the army alone. Besides that. he points out that the Allies also are depending upon the United States to supplement their nursing service.

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
If THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Different from anything that has
ever before been attempted in the
line of comedy by the Poll Players
they are again scoring series of sue
cesses with 'Mary's Ankle" one of
the best of the better class of laughter
productions Not an idle moment APP
pears and each line is the signal for
a laugh. The humorous situations fol-
low one another in rapid succession
and I'D sooner is the audience appar-
emily satisfied when it is again con-
vulsed with laughter.
Besides being humorous the story
is interesting and shows the difficult
ties in which three young but ambi-
tious men find themselves when Mary
attired as Red Cross worker enters
and proceeds to extract from the trio
what little money they have in their
possession. Later she proceeds to
sprain her ankle right in front of the
doctors office and is carried there
when it is discovered that she is
closer to him than she believed, he
having sent out fake wedding invi-
tations using her name without even
knowing of her existence.
Next week the Players will portray
one of the most famous crook plays
that has ever been introduced on an
American stage. 1t shows that there
is honor among thieves regardless of
opinions to the contrary and also car
ries an interesting and fascinating
love story which will appeal to every
