WHY
Sun Docs Not Always Rise
at Same Point

The sun does not climb straight up
in the sky, but obliquely. What is
more. his rising point is not the same
on two succeeding days. AS spring
merges into summer the rising point
shifts to the north. After June 21,
he shifts south. so that on each day
he begins his climbing a little more
to the south. BY December % he has
reached his southern limit and turns
back again.
Since there is defined region on
the eastern horizon along which the
SUMS rising point shifts in regular or
der and beyond which 1t never strays,
the daily paths of the sun through the
sky In the year form an unshifting, un-
changing band of even width-the
same band from, year to year.
AS you 60 north the suns path
slopes more and more. The band re-
mains the same; 1t merely swerves up
or down In the sky. Hence In the arctic
regions the sum during spring and sum
mer months appears above the horizon
and stays there. travelling around In
circle, and becomes the midnight
sun."-Popular Science Monthly.

RED MEN AND RED CROSS
Why lndIans Broke Their Traditions
\. In Giving Weird Ceremonial Dance
- In City Of Southwest.

That war and rumors Of war should
reach even our most retired Indian
tribes is natural enough, but the fact
that the mission and the meaning of
the American Red Cross have pene-
trated to them is unexpected. Not
only the letter of the word, but also
the spirit of it has been grasped and
accepted. Wentworth G. Field, In
1.-THE Red Mans Red Cross" in the
Red Cross Magazine. says:
"There appeared in Santa Fe some
of the few surviving Cochiti chiefs
bringing with them their war bonnets
dancing moccasins, their paints, their
ceremonial blankets and, strangest OF
all, their katcinas, the grotesque
highly painted doll images that play q
most important mystic part in cere
monial dances. They said: We have
come to dance for you here in your
palace of the governors. We do moi
want money for it. We want you tt
make much money and give 1t to the
Red Cross!'
"Next night, with the moonlight
flooding the courtyard. they gave their
weird, beautiful Cochiti ceremonial
dance. Out of love for the Red Gross
they had broken their traditions and
travelled weary miles to add their mite
to the cause"

Lieut.. Roberto de Violini of the Sixth
Alpine corps. one of Italy's famous
fghting forces, has recently come to
the United States on a special mission
for his government.
The lieutenant Is forceful and elo-
quent speaker and thoroughly familiar
with the fighting front. He speaks per-
feet English and tells many amusing
as well as thrilling incidents of the
war In the Alps.
A strategy that was resorted to In
the capture of an Austrian post was
thus described by Lieutenant Violini
according to the Italian-American
News bureau:
"The men lit cigarettes and stuck
them on the barbed wire in front OF
the Austrian trenches. Then they
dropped down and made their way to
the flank of the Austrian division
They found almost no one there, and
practically everybody was in the front
firing at the cigarettes. We took 3O(
prisoners and machine guns and Other
war material whose use we did moi
even know, so inferior were we in the
matter of equipment"

How Fear Betrays.

It was the custom In some parts of
India at one time to compel persons
suspected Of crimes to chew dry rice
in the presence of the officers Of the
law. The influence of fear on the sail
vary glands was such 1t was believed
that il the suspects were actually guilty
there would be no secretion Of saliva
in the mouth and 1t would be impos.
sible for them to chew. A conscious
ness of innocence, however, 1t was
held, permitted proper flow of fluid
for softening the rice.
An illustration of how fear acts
through the Imagination was brought
out in the case of a farmer who. after
he had detected depredations In his
corn bin, summoned his men and made
them mix up quantity Of feathers In
a sieve, assuring them that the feath
ers would stick to the head Of tho
thief. One of the men betrayed him
self after q short time by repeatedly
raising his hand 60 mis- head.

LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit by
the War.

The supply of fertilizer for 1919
spring sown crops is threatened by
shortage of labor In the fertilizer fac
tories. This fact is Of particularly Sc
rious import to the potato farmers Of
the country, for the great potato sec
lions are coming more and more to de-
pend on fertilizer for the economical
production of this crop. Thus 1t hap
pens that the very factor which pre-
vents factories running to full capac-
ity also has effect In preventing farm
ers from using their own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
q seasonal industry. About the first
OF February the factories are normally
In full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they Idle
down" again for period Of several
months In late spring and early sum-
mer. This requires a large floating
supply Of labor. supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands of
the shipyards and munition factories.
Transferring the industry from
seasonal basis to full II months OPP
Grating basis will certainly be econom-
ical of labor. The factories can then
work at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks In the year,
and in this way get out the necessary
tonnage. It can't be done at once,
however, because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast as they are made-so that the
greatest possible output by the re-
stricted supply Of labor may be as
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early, through accustomed
channels, and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done to help insure sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early or
dering, however, means NOW.

Death to the barberry plant. which
for many years has held favor In city
and country as a decorative shrub. Is
sounded by an editorial In the Ameri.
can Lumberman, which says:
"The specific and unforgivable crime
of the barberry Is that 1t Is the agency
through which Is perpetuated the black
stem rust In wheat, fungous disease
that attacks the wheat kernels. The
damage to the wheat crop Of the Unit
ed States In 1915 due to rust is esti.
mated at 100000. 900 bushels. There is
imminent danger Of another outbreak
of rust this year that would wipe out
more wheat than the entire country
could save in q year Of the most strin.
gent Hooverizing.
1.-THE only way to prevent this ca
lsmity Is to dig up and burn every bar
berry bush. except the so-called Jap
snese variety. which alone has been de-
clared innocuous."

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

You were asked to give up
wheat, and you did 1t. You
were asked to economic on
sugar. and you did 1t. You we're
asked to observe Aeatless Mon
days and gasles9 Sundays-and
you did that too.
These were wartime measures
designed to accomplish specific
purposes. There IL another war
time measure which every farm
err and truck gardener who ex-
poets to use fertilizers next
spring, must observe.
Fertilizers must be ordered
now and shipment accepted at
once. Fertilizer factory forces
have been severely cut down
and II IL only BY starting In
now and running every day I'M
I'll spring. that anything APP
preaching an adequate supply
Of fertilizers can be produced.
The farmer must help by getting
the finished goods out Of the
factory and out Of the way 90
more goods can be made.

hogs and fat steers must later on be
marketed at the same time-to the
disadvantage of all concerned.
But--why grow soft corn, when a
crop Of hard corn costs less per
bushel?
Corn Is planted when the soil is still
cold, and Just after the soil has been
leached by the winters rains. Avail
able plant food in the soil is lacking.
The reserves in the seed are soon ex-
hausted, and then the plant hangs
fire"-makes no growth, remains small,
spindling, and sickly--until such time
as the weather warns up and soil
plant food begins to become available.
Available plant food, especially avail
able phosphoric acid and ammonia,
when applied In fertilizer have won
derful effect In saving time-in getting
growth started early In the season.
Later on in the summer poorly fer
tilted corn once again ''hangs fire."
1t waits, and waits, and is eternally
slow in ripening its seed. Too often
such crop is caught, still immature.
by the first killing frosts of the season.
A high available phosphoric acid fer
tilizer applied at time Of planting IL
a tremendous aid in ripening up the
corn quickly and surely.

THE WORLD SHORTAGE
Of LIVE STOCK

A census Of cattle In France
reveals a decrease Of IL per
cent in beef animals, 80 per cent
In sheep and 40 per cent In hogs
since December 81, 1913. Italy
has suffered a loss of Fl per
cent of horses. Is per cent for
mules, and 8 per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease In Germany, Austria,
and Russia has been, but It must
be enormous. According to a re-
liable estimate the decrease Of
live stock in all Europe Ii equal
to one-half the amount Of live
stock in America today. This
estimate places the loss at 100,-
000. 900 head. +.
