PIantfood in Soil.

A chemical analysis cannot show the
amount of available plantfood in a soil.
A chemist could, without difficulty,
make an artificial soil containing every
element of plantfood in abundance, and
yet be perfectly sterile. Peat, for ex-
ample, is usually very rich in nitrogen,
but it is locked up or unavailable. To
pulverize it and mix it with lime is to
change it into highly nutritious soil.

Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1918-11-07

Germany has been given dictum
that will probably bring about a
world crisis within very short
time.
"The terms are what President
Wilson himself recommended to
us for the security of our troops,
the maintenance of our superior
ity, and the disarmament of the
enemy in so far as that is neces-
sary to prevent resumption of
hostilities,' is the statement made
by M. Clemenceau, the French
Premier, and also provide that
Germany must make compensa-
ton for all damages done to civil
ian populations and their prop
erty "by land, by sea and from
the air. "
1t is thought by some well post
ed on the conditions in Germany
that the military powers will OBJ
ject and will endeavor to fight on
with the hope of obtaining better
terms on the plea of saving
further bloodshed.
1t is also stated that no modifi-
cation of the "terms" will be
allowed and that Germany will be
made to feel the iron heel of Allied
power until she is completely
crushed.
With these terms to ponder, it is
believed the German people will
make short shrift of the kaiser, if
he has not abdicated by the time
the terms are published.

OBSERVATIONS.

Saving the world for democracy
ought to teach America the value
OF the saving habit.
Now the coast of Belgium has
again become the Belgian coast.
Reports from Berlin say that
"The Marseillaise has been sung
py crowds on Inter den Linden.
Hhe next on the program is an
american song, Farewell, Kaiser
Bill"
1t is noticeable that General
Hindenburg is not making any
more dinner dates in Paris.
The kaiser wanted the world; !;
he'll be lucky if he keeps his head.
The man who allows the end OF
the war to overtake him without a
supply Of Liberty Bonds will feel
foolish in variety of ways.
Foch has tied the Hindbenburg
'ine in a knot, and they're not
5taying to unite it.
Uneasy lies German war bulle-
tin-but it lies just the same.
Now the German hound prince
knows how the rabbit felt when
only one jump ahead of the hound
If the German peace dove really
does mean business it will need
to COO in no uncertain tone.
Usually after marrying al
earthly angel man kicks himself
for not marrying cook.
Germany cannot shoot peace int
the world with torpedoes aimed a
ships loaded with women and chill
dren.
Germany invented frightfulnes
and may expect to perish by i
when the inevitable revolt begins

DEVELOPMENTS WE'RE OF
