People Resent the
presidents Action

EX-Speaker George E. Alter, OF
the State House of Representatives
who came over from Pittsburgh on
business yesterday, declared last
night that the Presidents course in
partisan politics will arouse resent
ment and will mean election of more
Republican Congressman.
Mr.. Alter said:
"Sproul and the whole ticket will
be elected without doubt. We
should also gain some congressman.
The old Republican spirit has been
greatly aroused within the last few
days, as a result of the Presidents
amazing attempt to use the war sit
uation as a Democratic campaign
card. You can find this feeling
everywhere.

ANOTHER THEORY"
ON THE ROCKS
The Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Disproves Old Story.

Every now and then during these
strenuous days we find someone doing
one of those "can't-be-dones" with ap-
parent ease. Probably the fellow didn't
know 1t couldn't be DONE" so he went
ahead and did II.
One of the latest of the pet theories
to go by the board is the one that the
use of any form Of commercial ferti-
lizer ultimately runs down the soil and
causes 1t to become very unproductive.
Why this theory ever existed Is hard
to tell. Perhaps someone misused
fertilizer and killed the crop. Such
a thing is possible. Perhaps too little
or too much was used, or perhaps it
was simply because the wish was IA
Their to the thought. Anyhow it, did
exist and men allowed crop produc-
ton to go steadily downhill because
they were afraid to use fertilizer to
bring 1t up.
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton has done some very notable work
along this line as reported in Bulletin
lat. The investigators took a poor,
depleted sofia typical rundown
farmland in a few years brought 1t
back to a productive and profitable
condition. How? Simply by using
fertilizer. In other words, they proved
that not fertilizers but the lack Of
them ran down farm soils.
The story is interesting. Complete
fertilizers were used up to 1914. Since
then potash has been omitted and fer
tilizer containing nitrogen and avail
able phosphoric acid has been used.
The soil was not farmed under market
garden conditions. Fertilizer was used
In but small amounts, an average Of
slightly over 300 pounds per acre per
year. The fourth year of the test a
wheat crop averaging "a bushels per
acre was taken from the land-this,
by the way, on soil that had received
no barnyard manure for many years.
A few years ago the neighbors Of
the man who used fertilizer would
shake their heads wisely and say:
"Oh, yes, he gets big yields now,
but In few years his soil will
be so poor he won't get anything"
Now they say: "Jones certainly is
lucky. He got big crop just when the
price was right. OF course I could
have done the same thing as he did
If had used as much fertilizer"

LOOKING OUT FOR THE BOYS
Truman n. Newberry 10 thoughtful Of
Them Now Just AS He Was In
Spanish-American War Days.

II would go the limit for Truman
Newberry. He Is real man."
It was Emanuel Oliver, in charge of
an elevator at the Michigan Soldiers
Home, who was speaking.
81 was with Newberry on the Yose-
mite in the Spanish-American war He
was lieutenant; l was mess steward
and under his orders. The other boys
on the Yosemite feel the same way
about IT, too. They have reason to do
so. When any Of the boys were sick,
Lieutenant Newberry would see to it
that they had delicacies from the Off
GERS mess. When they were broke,
he provided them with money. When
they were in trouble. they felt free to
go to him and tell him about 1t. and
be helped them out. After 1t was all over
and we came back to the good old
United States, some of the boys did
not have funds with which to get
home. 1t was Newberry who sent them
on their homeward journey. You bet,
all the old Yosemite boys swear by
Newberry"
1t is no different now than 1t was in
the Spanish-American War days. Tru-
man H. Newberry is again in service
as a commander in the Third Naval
District. His two boys also enlisted and
are serving; one in the army, the 9TH
er in the navy Once again he is look
ing after the boys, and with his own
sons in uniform, his interest in the
men is keener than ever. If that were
possible.

Broadway, New York
There is almost constantly a line
of young officers and blue-jackets to
see the commander. The reasons for
their calls show better than anything
else could in what degree of esteem
and admiration he is held by those un-
der him. One lad calls to express his
thanks for the opportunity, given him
by Commander Newberry, Of entering
the officers training school, and his de-
termination to forge steadily ahead
in the ranks of the fighting men. An.
other asks for advice on the books
to study that he may progress in his
chosen profession. He is confident
that, though the commander is busy
man, he will always take time to lend
helping hand to any youngster anx-
ious to get on. Perhaps a<third will
drop in to report the progress he Is
making in his studies to fit himself for
higher rank. They all have some. per-
sonal reason for feeling grateful, be-
cause the commander never fails to
take an interest in what his mep are
doing. ;9l

WRITE LETTERS THAT CHEER

fully Ignore them and try to make you
believe that he is having the best time
ever? He knows that you can do moth

them, so, in his fine philosophy, why
pass the worrying on to you? Turn
the picture around and look at the
boys side Of 1t. You will never know
the half of the things he endures he
won't tell you now, and when he comes
back he will wave them aside as of no
Importance. AS you can't help him, he
can't help you. A grumbling letter, or
one full of encouragement, will only
make q soldier a little less efficient in
his job; you will still have the home
problems to tackle. The need Is not so
much for more letters, but for more
cheerful letters. is the word that comes
from the camps. "The mud-soaked old

named Vance, who had distinguished
himself by several acts of bravery,

START INTERNAL WORKS.
There Is no doubt that this
country started Germany on her
Industrial way, showing her the
ropes, gave her the wrinkles,
and generally treated her as a
good apprentice; but 1t is not
generally known that Krupp
himself, the man who has en-
abled the kaiser to hold out so
long, and who led him to be-
lieve that he could smash his
way to world dominion, got his
first capital here.
Alfred Krupp came to Bir-
mingham In 1910 with an intro
ductiOn to great English firm
of electro-platers. from Doctor
Siemens, and offered them an
invention of his own for rolling
the metal "blanks" from which
forks and spoons are made. For
once German invention-for
1t must be said that the Ger
mans have been good at utiliz-
Ing but bad at imitating-turned
out to be of use, and Krupp got
10000 from the firm for his ma
chine.
With this money he returned
to Germany, went to Essen, and
there laid the foundation Of the
gigantic business which has
since become menace to the
whole world.-London Answers.

The Universal Art.

1t seems to me that teaching Is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
Of us, no matter what his walk of life
may be, is engaged willy-nilly for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
ly every father and mother is engaged
I'm II and am persuaded that the vast
majority of children address them
selves to the problem Of teaching their
parents that the life Of their day Is
wholly incompatible with the methods
of a generation past. The master who
learns how to handle men Is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes Of their elo-
Quence are endeavoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take
to be wisdom, and their constituents
they endeavor to tell of their impassiOn-
ed patriotism. Whenever we endeavOr
to persuade anyone to do as we want
him to do, we try to teach him. Teach
ing is the universal art, and the great
est of them all.-Ellwood Hendrick, in
