Going After the Mufiers.

Chief Adams was in the Office Tues
day morning and requested us tC
warn car and taxicab owners to cut
out the muffiers, and that violations
against this and the speed-limit laws
will be prosecuted. The law against
muffiers will be enforced especially
in case of fires.
This matter was referred to in the
last meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen, and the Mayor has
Issued orders that the laws Ne en-
forced to the letter. He ann need

Using Nitrate Of Soda.

Whether nitrate of soda is good
for, or suitable for, alfalfa when
sowing, is the question.
Nitrate ordinarily gives better
returns when applied to wheat or
truck crops when the soil is poor
and when stable manure has not
been used. Sometimes it is advis-
able to use nitrate on alfalfa in the
spring when it lacks incubation. A
light application, say SO to rs
pounds to the acre, will often revive
the stand.
If the alfalfa has been satisfac-
tory, it will be better to use nitrate
on the other crops mentioned above.

Feeding Hogs for Gains.

The relative value of soy beans
and rye compared with corn and
clover for feed for hogs points to an
advantage in favor OF corn and Glow
er. To obtain the best results one
should pasture about ten to fifteen
head of 1O0-pound hogs per acre on
good clover, and feed in addition
about 2 pounds of corn to each 100
pounds of live weight per hog per
day. Then fatten them out early
in the fall, either by turning them
into a field of soy beans and corn.
or by using the self-feeder. and Civ
ing them all the corn and tankage
that they will eat while on clover
pasture. This method OF manage
ment will give the most economical
pork. but 1t will take a little longer
to fatten the hogs to weight of,
say 200 pounds, Shan 1t would II

What Became of A Lie.

First, somebody told it.
Then the room wouldn't hold it,
But the busy tongues rolled it
Till they got it inside;
When the crowd came across it
They never once lost it
But tossed it and tossed it
Till it grew long and wide.
From very small lie sir
1t grew deep and high sir
Till it reached the sky sir
And frightened the moon;
And she hid her sweet face sir
In veil of cloud lace sir
At the dreadful disgrace sir
That happened that noon.
But that lie wouldn't stand sir
Anywhere in the land sir
So it finally exploded
In smoke and in shame;
And from mud and from mire
the pieces flew higher
And hit the sad liar
And killed his good name.
Then one day he died sir
This man who had lied sir,
But he stopped at the gate
Where he rested spell.
Saint Peter was there sir
To lay his soul bare sir,
Which he did with great care sir,
And sent him to hell.
So this is the moral
When ere there's quarrel
And you're tempted to lie
For your own benefit:
'Tis best to play dummy
And be real mummy
Than to tell a great lie
And get caught in 1t.

/ pendOuS achievements.
War Is no holiday outing, but II
is a business which often heavily
taxes the physical and enduring pow.
er of man. And many soldiers have
been destroyed in battle, or succumb-
ed to the wearing struggles of real
warfare, because they were not sea
soned by severe discipline. Infexi-
bility of purpose and hardihood of
frame and tenacity of endurance are
indispensable prerequisites of good
soldier, and these can only be &C
quired by ones being subjected to
the sterner and more difficult condi-
tions of life-of military life. To
make the environment, therefore, of
soldiers in training any ways lux
urious and their duties soft and easy
would be great mistake, since such
conditions of training might mean
their defeat or death in actual war
1t is better that the boys in train
ing should be seasoned by a variety
of seasoning tests here, that they
may thereby be the more able to en-
dure the hard ordeals of war and to
skilfully and bravely deal with the
enemy they must meet in Europe.
For once on the firing line, they will
have to face such perils, Gehennas
and bells as will try even the bravest
and strongest. We need men on the
firing line that will be strong, in
vincible and indefatigable in battle.
To have such men they must be
trained in the school of severity.
Not only that, but the whole ma
tion ought to cultivate in every way
possible the stronger, manlier, brav-
er virtues. For by so doing the
valorous disposition of the people |
will be stimulating and bracing to
the boys in training and furnish a
strong and inspiring background for
the great drama of war, in which |
they are soon to act, we believe, a
brave and noble part. And it would
be little less than criminal in us,
by any at least avoidable weakness,
% fail to help furnish a stimulating
atmosphere in which for them to
rain and do battle. We should be
trong and brave ourselves that we
nay inspire manliness and bravery
n the hearts of the boys, who are to
ght our battles in this war.
This is no time for dependency or :

is prominently a time, of all
ines, for unwavering courage and

urselves. Let us see to it that this

nd heroines; and then, with our
rust in God, we can defy Germany,

evil.
Thousands of the boys will return
nhurt from this war, and many of
