nl'a' SOLDIERS )NoT LET UP
And the Nation Will Show It Stays With Them in The ssVic- torioiIs Fifth" Liberty Loan.

l rro million of Uncle Sam's boy, are over there looking after the com mon good of the world at large. 1 incidently after the interests of the United States of America. { And they will have to stay upor the job until it is done. Until things are righted again. Until order is brought out of chaos. This may be only two or three months longer. It may be as many years.
 But while they are there they must be taken care of adequately. They must be clothed and fed and lodged comfortably. We don't want 2 death list in camp greater than was suffered in action.
 We want those boys to come back ; every possible one of them.
 Uncle Sam estimates that it costs $423.27 a year to equip and maintain soldier in Europe. So if they remain a year it means approximately $1,- 100000 900. And every added month VIII AAOnh PioQoi IlOudlCIy uOT0.
 Part of the proceeds from the com ing Victorious Fifth" Liberty Loan will be devoted to this end. Part of it will go into the rehabilitation fund for putting the injured soldiers back upon their feet. Part of 1t will go for insurance claims. The rest will go to meet the hundred and one other de- mands of this greatest of world emer- genc1es since the dawn of civiliza- ton.
 Every mothers son of them did his part, helped insure liberty and justice for the world at large and restore Uncle Sam to his rightful position in the estimation of the nations of earth
 They did their duty fully, these boys who won. They staid to the very end, through fire and flood. They never talked about letting up.
 This is no time for Americans to -hink of letting up
 We must stand by our guns; by our records; by Uncle Sam.
 We must make the next loan anoth- CT big success.

Mustard Gas Invented Here,

The report that an American in- ventor laid before an agent of the bu- reau of mines 15 months ago form ]. ula for mustard gas, which the Ger mans are now supposed to be using, is to be taken up by the American h. ventors' association. The allegation brought to the. attention of the asso- ciation at its meeting the other day was to the effect that Benjamin P. Brooks, chief chemist of the Conner cial Research company of Flushing, l.. l., gave formula to the government bureau and heard nothing more from 1t. A few months ago it was found Germany had hit upon the gas, accord ing to F. J. Hemen, president of the ashington Star.

American Invented Electric E,,

Michael Faraday devised the cleo. tro-magnetic rotation apparatus in the year 1922. Barlow in 1923 produced the rotation of star wheel placed in the field of strong magnet. These devices were very crude and simple, however, and developed in- hnitesimal power. Undoubtedly the first electric motor employing mag nets wound with many turns of wire. and also comprising motor which util- ized both permanent steel magnets and electro-magnets, was that perfected by Prof. Joseph Henry of Princeton uni versity, in the year 1881. Henry pro- duced reciprocating motion as well as the rotary motion by electro-mapnetic means.
 Henry's motor, according to Elec- trical Experfmenter, was the fore runner of the present day electric mo- tor.

In "little old New Yorkn

If certain actor had accompanied a party of round-the-towners the oth- CT night he would have been either
 thrilled or embarrassed, says New York Sun. After the theater the par ty went to the Waldorf roof and saw one of the actors former wives the center of gay, laughing party. The next stop was at the Astor roof where there was another former wife of the same actor dining with a handsome young gallant who danced divinely and at the last stop on the Majestic roof was the third former wife giving dinner to several women and two French army officers. It was hard to tell which was the most beautiful, They all seemed happy. It is remind full of another actor who went to an- other theater than his own to see play. He was seated next to a former wife and her husband. They all chat ted pleasantly together and later supped together. A strange town this New York.

FARM PROFITS
 WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are We'll Able to Take Up Their Share in the "VictOrious Fifth"

More than ever before the Ameri' l can farmer finds himself in the posi- ton of comfort and prosperity whicf l is his just due. Lean years are fol | him no longer.
 Last year the average of farm earnings broke all records. Six mil | lion farms in 1918 produced crops worth $12,280,OOO,0 ,00O. This year it is estimated that greater wheat acreage than ever will be shown. Naturally, the, farmer is making the most of his opportunities, and with guaranteed wheat prices and higher | prices for everything he grows, the outlook for him is most encouraging
 And Europe will furnish market doubtless for all he can grow, in- cluding his fat hogs at $50 and his steers at $150 per-
 It would be interesting, if possible, to assemble comparative statements of the farmers bank accounts now and five years ago, and the l st of mortgages that have been canc elled. And it would be more interesting per- haps to have statement of the Lib- erty Bonds now in the hands of these tillers of the soil
 And very soon the farmer will have an opportunity to prove that he is not without loyalty as we'll developed as any mans. For another loan is almost in sight, a loan that will draw upon us all.
 Because of his price guarantee of $2.26 a bushel, Uncle Sam sta1,ds to lose from 50 to 75 cents upon every bushel of wheat harvested next sea son. Having made this guarantee to the farmer, he will make it good. That is Uncle Sam's way.
 But what is MT. Farmer going to do for Uncle Sam in the next Liberty Loan?
 In every Liberty Loan to date the farmer, as a class, has bought less bonds than men in other prosperous classes. He has been able mean time to get more sugar, and coal, and everything else upon which the gov ernment put restriction, than others have.
 The big question now, when he stands to cash in at 25 per cent premium upon his wheat crop, is what Is he going to do next Liberty Loan drive?
 Some Liberty Loan officials are sug, gesting that the farmer should buy a $100 bond for each 100 bushels of wheat that he sells to the govern ment. He has made the profit and should have no hesitancy in taking a high grade security in payment for the difference between what the gov ernrent gets and what he gets for his uhn4t

EeEeW ltlS0Ss114u HI pOTtk01tD S1le Hat , where the clover has disappeared tas lime may be applied first and the{ cl 5 yer and grass then seeded. To inkgli, covering of the grass seed and th%An tribution of the lime the land sf3u be narrowed. In practice it is not de sirable to SOW the seed immediate after the lime, but a few days late1{
 That lime is great aid in hay pr r5- duction has been shown by Dr. Whe Ter, formerly director Of the Rhode Us. land Experiment Station. He fouhd that proper lining increased the yield of hay 12O per cent Many other ex. periments in New England and New York show that lime will often double the yield of hay.
 RenovatIno Old Pastures.
 The growing of grass for pasture ii also an important part of the farming operations in this section. Much of the pasture land is too rough or stony to put in cultivation or rotation hence it is desirable to keep the land in grass as long as possible. Some of the most valuable pasture plants will run out and must be reseeded from time to time. To make the reseeding success full the soil will need in most cases a topdressing of lime and occasionally a light dressing of manure. An applica- tion of 1,5OO or 2,OO0 pounds of lime per acre may be made in the late win ter or early spring. The thin spots may be seeded to clover in the early spring and scratched in with spike tooth or brush harrow if the surface Is not too rough or stony. If this Is followed by thin dressing of manure on the reseeded portions good stand will be secured. Land which produces a good stand of Kentucky blue grass and white clover will seldom need re- seeding, and the presence of these plants generally indicates that the soil has been we'll fertilized and lined. On the other hand, the presence of moss indicates an unfavorable condition for clover, which can be corrected in a large measure by the use of lime.
 A little patience in the application of lime and manure and an occasional reseeding of the thin spots of the pas- lures will result in marked improve ment of the stand and quality of grass. Many believe that the cattle leave enough manure on the land to fertilize the grass, but close observation will show that the manure is not distrib- uted evenly. Here Is where the harrow is an aid in spreading the manure more thoroughly. This may be done after the lime has been spread over the pas
