A PRAYER
Simple Law of Life
for All

Teach me that sixty minutes make
an hour, sixteen ounces a pound, and
one hundred cents a dollar. Help me
to live so that may lie down at night
without gun under my pillow-un-
haunted by the faces of those whom 1
have wronged.
Help me to earn my meal ticket on
the square and In conformance with
the Golden Rule.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
coin-to the rustic of unholy skirts.
May 1 be blind to the faults of my
fellows and see my own clearly.
Guide me so that l may look across
the dinner table at my wife and have
nothing to conceal.
Keep me young-that I may laugh
with the children. Make me sympa-
thetic-that l may be considerate of
the old.
When comes the day of drawn
shades and fragrant flowers, of quiet
footsteps and hushed voices, when
the wheels crunch on the gravel walk
and the neighbors whisper, "How
natural he looks l''-make the cere-
mony short and the epitaph simple:
Here lies Man George Lee,

PURCHASING Lime
FOR FARM use
The Form, Concentration, Fine
ness of Division, and the Con-
dition of the Soil Are Factors
Requiring Consideration.
A Study of the Soil Neutralizing
Power of Lime.

The chief point to be observed by
the farmer in the purchase of lime is
the form. The action of each form
must be known under each of the
many varying conditions. Lime and
limestone are both mineral products,
but the former is a product of manu-
facture treated in a manner to make
1t concentrated, which means that 1t
contains only the elements active in
correcting soil acidlty, whereas the
latter contains carbon dioxide amount
ing to approximately one-half its
weight, besides any impurities of the
original rock from which 1t is ground
While there Is no organic fermentation
In the case of mineral materials yet
the concentrated forms are acted upon
more readily by the natural soil sol
vents, air and water, and other solvent
substances of soils, and, furthermore,
they are more readily and evenly dis
tributed throughout the soil by the soil
moisture.
Regardless OF the form, fineness of
division has an important bearing upon
availability since the finer the material
the greater will he the surface area
exposed to the natural agencies which
cause disintegration. The particles of
slaked or hydrated lime are infinitely
small and there is no question of their
solubility on this score With lime
stone 1t is a question of grinding pure
ly mechanical In nature. The applica
ton of a cOarsely ground limestone,
coarser than 100 per cent. through a
10-mesh sieve, may not show any re-
suits the first or second season, while
the same substance pulverized to an
extremely fine powder 100 per cent.
through 60 or so mesh sieve, will
show resuts during the first season.

It's lime
The kind of soil to which the lime or
limestone is applied influences the rate
at which they become active in the

which contains a large portion Of or

or vegetable, presents more favorable
conditions for the solubility and activ-

which Is close and compact In texture
and purely mineral in its character,
thus preventing the free access of air

changes are taking place. In the one
case the conditions are such as to fa-

japanese Forecast Direful
Race Trouble for the World
Fear an Armed Collision

7 Belief that the next war will be
the outcome of race prejudices is ex-
pressed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly
minister of justice and q leading
member of the constitutional party.
Mr.. Ozaki said that in his opinion the
colored races, which steadily were de-
veloping their civilization, would de-
mand finally the same treatment as
the white races, and that the result
would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that Japan,
acting on behalf of all Asiatic races,
should introduce the racial and popu-
iation questions for consideration and,
IL possible, secure a solution. In
country like Japan, where the popula-
tion is increasing with alarming
rapidity, he said 1t was but natural
that the surplus population should
try to obtain an outlet even by resort
ing to arms. From Japan's stand
point, said Mr.. Ozaki, the racial or
population questions were more i'm
portant than President Wilson's
fourteen points" as laid down for
basis for Germany's surrender These
racial questions, he said, concerned
the future of millions of souls in Asia.
Mr.. Ozaki warned the japanese not
to develop the German system of state
organization, which in the war had
proved to be a mere machine for de-
stroying civilization and for tramp
ling under foot the rights of other ma
tions and peoples. On the question
iof Japan's occupation of the German
South Sea Islands, Mr.. Ozaki de-
clared that the United States should
dismantle her forts in the Philippines
and Hawaii and that this would be
more important for Japan than the
taking over of the South Sea islands.

How New York Gained the
Nickname "City of Gotham

"City of Gotham" Is nickname of
foreign origin with no particular ap-
plicability. Gotham is the name of
an ancient village in England, whose
inhabitants, according to tradition,
once escaped burdensome duty about
to be put upon them by feigning stu
pidity. This smart trick in pretend
ing to be fools gave rise to the express
sion "the wise men of Gotham" and
the story of "the three wise men of
Gotham who went to sea in bowl"
The name was first applied to New
York city in humorous magazine
called "Salmagundi," started in 1907
by Washington Irving and two or
three others, in which they made fun
of the pretentions of some of the "wise
men of Gotham" meaning the New
York of that day. The magazine was
read, the fun-making approved, and
the nickname became permanent.

Soldiers Overseas Safe
From Winter Hardships-
Have Supply of Clothes

Mothers, sisters and sweethearts in
America need not worry about pro-
lection of their soldiers In Europe
against the rigors of winter, writes a
Paris correspondent. The quarter
masters corps specialists in France
declare that the boys are better
equipped than the majority of them
ever were in civilian life.
Each soldier has two pairs of heavy
nail-clinched and dubbed shoes
which are impervious to water, five
pairs of wool socks, three suits wool
underwear, two complete wool uni
forms, two wool o. d. iiannel shirts,
one short but heavy oveTcoat, trench
style. and one pair OF wool knit spiral
puttees ten feet long. The quarter
masters corps estimates that the aver
age soldier in campaign wears out one
pair of trousers every two months,
and makes provision on this basis, al
though the normal life of a pair of
breeches is six months. Every soldier
has also an overseas cap that has a
felt protector to pull down over his
ears. He is not allowed to wear the
old issue of campaign hat that his
folks at home are used, to seeing. He
has wool gloves and one-6nger leather
mittens over them and each soldier
is provided with at least three
blankets and waterproof slicker or
raincoat.
In addition to all this every soldier
On outdoor duty has leather waist
coat to wear beneath his overcoat.
This leather waistcoat Is newly is
sued and much admired.

Idle Soldiers in Europe
Require Entertainment and
Diversion More Than Ever

The close of the war does not mean
that the need for theatrical entertain
ers to entertain American troops in
France has ended or even diminished.
On the contrary, it is greater than
ever. 1t Is obvious that many Ameri-
can soldiers will remain in Europe for
a long time. With idle time on their
hands, lacking the excitement and ex-
altation of battle, they must have
clean, wholesome entertainment.
So the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation and Americas Over There
Theater league, which have cooper
ated in sending entertainment units
abroad, are now expanding their eff
forts. James Forbes, the playwright,
accepts applications and organizes
units.
From July 30 to November 8 we
sent 102 entertainers abroad" Mr..
Forbes announces. 1--WE will continue
to send as many as we can until the
last American soldier is out of France.
Now that the fighting is over, they
need amusement and diversion more
than ever, and they keep urging and
urging and urging US to send more
players"
Hitherto the performers sent abroad
have been practically all vaudeville
players. There were several reasons
for this. Transportation was limited,
so the travelling companies had to be
small and they could not carry the
scenery and costumes necessary for
dramatic productions.
From now on, however, Mr.. Forbes
says the soldiers will have drama as
well as vaudeville

Iceland Also Experiences
Increase in Cost of Food

Even far-away Iceland has felt the
pinch of war. An increase In the
average price of necessaries at Reyk-
javik, the principal city, last July
amounted to 211 per cent, when con-
trasted with their cost in July, 1914,
as shown by data appearing in the
journal of the Icelandic statistical de-
partment. If coal and petroleum,
which show increases over prices in
July, 1914, of 1,051 and PIT per cent,
respectively, be omitted, and the COM
parison be limited to articles of food
alone, 1t Is stated that the average
increase was 100 per cent, as COM
pared with July, 1914. The extent
to which certain of the principal
groups of food rose in price may be
seen from the following official COM
pilation: Bread 261; flour, oatmeal,
beans, ETC., 294; sugar, 1876; coffee,
tea. cocoa, chocolate, 109; butter. fat.
milk, cheese, eggs, 235; beef, mutton,
bacon and pork, 1876.

The Healthy Growth Of a Variety

Lime for Bone Building.
The Growing Herd Requires a
Nutrient Quality of Grass.

Lime is essential to the growth OF
luxuriant pasture. 1t does much 70
improve the stand and increase the
variety of grasses and clOvers. The
effect of lime on pasture soils Is TO
sweeten it and encourage the growth
of grasses and clovers not only more
abundantly, but in greater profusion;
and 1t so happens that the plants
which are encouraged to grow in sweet
soils are the ones which naturally con-
tain more lime in their composition.
Lime Is needed by animals quite as
much as it is needed by plants, espe-
cially by young animals which are
growing and need it in the formation
formation of body tissue. The Food
Administration calls attention in one
of its circulars regarding the use of
milk, which contains more lime than
any other food in children's diet 1t
says: There must be plenty Of limo
In children's food, for great deal of
1t is needed for their bones and teeth.
and little for their blood and all
other parts Of their bodies Big boys
and girls and grown people, as well
as children, need lime, because the
bones are constantly wearing away
little by little and must be replaced"
1t is therefore very important that
pastures used for grazing should be
well lined to furnish variety of
plants, so that animals may be well
nourished with a luxuriant growth of
plants, thus supplying an abundance of
forage containing lime for building
bone and tissue. Lime may be applied
to pastures any time during the year,
but 1t is best to prepare now to make
fall or winter application.

A Soil Treatment for tho Tomato Crop
Lining Not Always Beneficial.

There has been much discussion re-
garding the use of lime on land prior
to planting tomatoes. The best infor-
nation obtainable seems to point to
the neutral line at which tomatoes
grow best. Just where this point is no
one seems to know, but 1t is clearly
understood by most growers and Ex-
pertinent Station workers that 1t is so
near the neutral line that lining is al
most always beneficial except when
the soil is known to be alkaline, in
which case the lime Is known to do no
harm.
