Hoarding Defined.

Any person IN the United
States who buys more foodstufIs
than he custoInar1iy keeps at
home In peace times Is defeat
ing the food administration IN
its purpose to secure a just dis
trfbution Of food and In Its great
epdeavors to reduce prices.
There Is much insidious prop
uganda In the country against
food saving and increased pro
duction. All opposition to pro
duction and savings Is direct as
sistance to the enemy.

DEVICE THAT FoILs GERMS
How Possibility Of Contamination
From. Use Of Common Drinking
Glass May Be Avoided.

A Baltimore woman. Miss Cornelia
Fiske, has devised simple scheme
to prevent the possibility Of contain
ination when making use of common
drinking glass. 1t consists Of square
Of rather stiff waxed paper. folded
through the center, and when desir-
ing thirst quencher of any kind the
paper is placed over the edge of the
glass, and the lips then cannot come
in contact with the glass. and there
fore there is no exchange of germs.
A supply of these papers can be car
ried conveniently in the purse or
pocket, or they may be made more
substantially of celluloid or SONG otn-
err equally suitable materiai and one
of the lip protectors made to do a
prolonged term of duty. Something Of
this character seems to be demanded
at soda fountains. where patrons ex-
press desire for glass drinking yes
sells instead of those of paper. If the
little paper protectors could be sup
piled at fountains for the use of pa
irons the purposes Of the individual
glass could be accomplished without
its Inconvenience and cost.

VII. Above all. II must face the fact
that America Is the one of all the
great nations of the earth that is prac-
tically untouched and .unexhausted by
the ravages of war. That with the
end of the fighting there remains the
vastest problem the world has ever
faced-that Of carrying humanity
through the coming winter and spring
and bringing 1t up to the relief Of the
harvests of 1919. There is not enough
food In the world now to provide for
normal consumption. With the best
that can be accomplished by way Of
organization and administration, there
viii be widespread privation and suf-
fering.
The war has left behind 1t hideous
legacy of want, suffering and distress.
There is work to be done that calls
for millions Of consecrated hands and
hearts.
The Red Cross therefore calls you
to enlist for all this supreme service
to humanity. Answer the Christmas
roll call.

The man who invented bells failed to
perpetuate his name together with his
harmonious and useful device. A popu-
lar legend credits the invention to
Paulinus, bishop of Nola. But this
does not take account of the fact that
bells were mentioned In history and
literature centuries before the title of
bishop was known. Cicero refers to
bells as part of the equipment of Ro-
man baths. They were also used in
the houses of patricians to summon
slaves and servants and to gather the
family for dinner, just as they are
used today.
They were used even farther back
In antiquity to keep evil spirits from
the last resting places Of the mighty.
1t has been established, for instance,
that many centuries before Christ the
tomb of Prosema, the great Etruscan
king. was furnished with small bells
on chains, SO arranged that they would
tinkle IN the slightest breeze and serve
as a perpetual mo trespass' sign to
undesirable alien spirits.

WHY
Il Is Unfair to Say the Slavs
Lack Capacity

The Russian people are backward.
to be sure. but 1t would be rash to in
fer therefrom that the Slavs lack ca
pacity. Aside from the Germans, who
have their own motives for running
down the Russians, have met with
no foreign observers of this people
who doubted their gifts of intellect,
magination and heart, writes Edward
Alsworth Ross in Asia Magazine. 1t is
true, I know ethnologists who wonder
II the quick Encouragement and insta-
bility of will so characteristic among
the Russians is not a mark Of the Slavic
race. Queerly enough, however, this
was precisely the outstanding trait of
the Germans in Roman times. Their
fury of onset, Juror Teutonicus, was a
by-word among the DICTIONARIES. but the
warriors quickly lost heart If the Ro-
mans held them at bay a couple of
hours. When one contrasts with this
the tenacity and stubbornness of the
modern German soldiers one sees how
national character itself may be ut
terly transformed by education and
never-say-die ideals. In the same way
1t Is likely that Russian instability. far
from being q race defect, signifies SIM
ply that the people have not yet been
nodded by the tonic Understanding
forces which have given the French,
for instance, a tenacity in resistance
which q century ago was supposed to
be monopoly of the "bull dog" Eng
lish.

ANOTHER AMERICAN COM
QUEST 4


Beansi Do you know them7 Bos-
ton baked! Red beans on toast! Or
Just beans. Home and foreign con-
sumption of beans has increased rap
idly in the past few years. The war
has Given thousands of Europeans
their first taste of real yankee pork
and beans" This "bean habit" will
linger, md beans will become a neces-
sity on the European bill Of fare, as
It has on the American.
Possibly no other cultivated crop Of
fers I quicker or larger cash return
than does the field bean. In the past,
bean growing has been confined to
comparatively small areas, but grow
ers have found out that there are va
rieties adapted to growth In most every
section Of the country.
While beans have been looked upon
by some as q 'poor land CROP" they
do best on fertile soil that is neither
extremely light and open nor too heavy
and compact. The bean Is legume,
capable by virtue Of its root structure,
of taking nitrogen from the air, but
owing to its brief growing season the
nitroeen-gathering bacteria on the
roots have but short space of time in
which to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used
on beans should supply nitrogen as
well as phosphoric acid and potash.
The rapid growth and early maturity
secured through the use Of fertilizers
are also valuable In enabling the crop
to escape rust, .blights or early froets.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1918-12-20
CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME
THE SAME MATERIALS
Wartime Conditions Threaten FertII-
izer Supply.

Every cannon crash and every BURST
ing bomb on the battlefields of Europe
uses up important fertilizer materials.
A single skirmish may consume more
potential plant food than, would be re-
quired to feed the fields Of an entire
township, and the quantities burned
up during real bombardment are tre-
mendous. Last year more than 6OO.-
600 tons of nitrate went to make ex-
plosives. In the United States alone.
Millions Of tons Of sulphuric acid were
likewise consumed.
Fertilizers and warfare bear most
intimate and most sensitive relation
ship. War decreases the supply Of
fertilixing materials and at the same
time increases the Importance Of their
use. Food production takes on a pa
trfotic aspect. The farmers tools OF
production become of Importance sec
ond only to the needs Of the army IT.
self. Yet when Mars is the arbiter
the preference on materials must go
to the soldier rather than to the farm
er. This accounts for the shortage OF
materials from which fertilizers are
made.
But now new danger threatens the
spring fertilizer supply. The labor
supply has failed. The needs of the
munition plants and the shipyards
have been so great as to seriously
drain the fertilizer factories. Many
plants have lost 30 to 40 per cent Of
their labor, and there is no prospect
for improvement by next spring.
In normal times spring fertilizers
are turned out by working the fac
tories at high speed during the late
winter and early spring months. Only
half as many laborers are employed in
November and December as In Febru-
airy and March.
With the present difficulty Of getting
laborers. 1t can be seen how remote is
the chance Of speeding up to double
production next spring. There Is only
one way to get out the fertilizer tom
mage needed for next years crops. and
that Is to start in now and run every
factory as best It may every day from
now until spring.
But manufacturing every day must
mean shipping every day. Fertilizer
factories do not have and cannot get
storage space for this tremendous
bulk Of goods. Finished goods must
be loaded directly on the cars ana
shipped to the consumer.
Here IL where the farmer must help.
He must place his order Immediately
and accept immediate shipment. In
no other way can the problem be
solved.

An interesting story is told of how
the crown prince came to command
the German armies before verdun. It
comes indirectly from Germany. The
kaiser, having little faith In the crown
princes military ability to lead large
armies, opposed the placing of his son
before Verdun. He knew-rather felt
that Verdun could not be taken. The
kaiser is known to have numbered
among his close friends certain for
tune teller In Berlin by the name of
Frau Braumberg. One day her apart
ments were raided by some army off,
GERS, friends Of the crown prince. Sew
eral personal letters of the kaiser were
seized. On the threat of exposing the
letters the crown prince is declared to
have won his fathers sanction to the
verdun command. After the raid the
fortune teller committed suicide.
