academic way years ago But practical results
from applying commercial fertilizer have been obtained IN

recently By E G. James in the FL Paso valley BY the
application of pounds Of fertilizer the Mr. James
increased his alfalfa yield IS from 5000 5000
bales his increased profit $500 that acreage
One Of the advantages Of using commercial fertilizer IS
that the Susnance for plants be restored to the soil
so that frequent crop rotation viii not be so necessary
What has proved true with alfalfa viii also prove true for
cotton, grains, fruits and vegetables.
Up in the Mbres valley 500 Of cotton have been
planted Cotton planters confident Of the results,
for the conditions there similar to those In the FL
Paso valley Cotton and beans expected to become
important crops in southwestern New Mexico.
Another fact to be forgotten is that broom

STRUCK THE WRONG MAN

No American will read the follow
ing episode without thrill of enjoy
ment. The story is printed as pub
lished in The European Press of
recent date:
Sometimes the Frenchmen in their
arrogance toward the Germans in the
Rhinelands make mistakes, as this
narrative will show. At the rear
entrance of crowded electric car in
the city of Bonn French officer was
standing, smartly uniformed, and
with his riding quirt in his hand. At
the next stop man in civilian clothes
jumped on the car, and by accident
lightly jabbed the smart Frenchman
with his elbow. The civilian took off
his hat and begged pardon. The
French officers retort was light
stroke of his riding whip full in the
civilians face.
The civilians cheeks turned red as
fire, but he said nothing, he did moth
ing. He remained absolutely quiet
wlfae all who looked on wondered
how man could tolerate such an
insult. But Germans in the Rhine
lands have little other alternative. If
they resent an insult, no matter how
CALLING, it may mean death or years
of Imprisonment for them.
At the next stop the civilian
alighted from the car. He beckoned
to the French officer to also get off.
The officer did so with naughty stride
and sneer on his lips. The car and
it's passengers waited to see what was
going to happen. They didn't have to
wait long. The civilian walked
straight up to the French officer, in
serted his thumbs in between his
shirt collar and his bare neck on
either side, and caught up double
handful of shirt collar and coat collar.
Then with strength born of fury he
lifted the pretty little Frenchman
clear off the ground, lifted him and
began to shake. He shook him as
one would shake a bag of potatoes he
was trying to pack down. He shook
him until his teeth chartered, until
the seams of his clothing nearly
broke, until the arms and legs hung
limp as of dummy, and the faded
eyes of the officer peeped out above
the collar which was almost pulled
over his head. Then he sat him down
on the ground with bump, and
pulled his face and head from out the
clothing again. There was the whip
still in the Frenchman's hand. The
civilian took the whip and with
strong irate stroke he slashed it
across the Frenchman's face from
left to right. 1t cut cash almost
as a saber stroke, and the blood
poured forth over the erstwhile spot
less uniform. Then he broke the
whip in his hands and threw it in the
officers face.
Slowly then he reached into his
pocket, pulled out his card, handed it
to the officer and in French said:
"I am the Colonel and Commander of
the Scottish Infantry Regiment
located here. Please report this event
to your commander, to whom | shall
also report it,"
Some other French officers who had
rushed to the spot to help their COM
rade, beat a hasty retreat when they
heard these words, and left the ex-
hausted victim to his fate. Butt the
Scottish colonel in civilians clothes
did not care to wreak further revenge.
He boarded the car again and con-
tinued his journey.
Frenchmen should note that not all
who wear civilians clothes in the
Rhinelansd are Germans.

ATTENTION

There are two (2) things that we
want to impress on the public mind
in regard to candies.
Why does certain merchant in all
of his advertisements try to persuade
the people of Newark not to expert
ment and buy the candy you know is
absolutely pure. Candy that is sweet,
does not prove that it is pure.
In regards to "Do not experiment"
we will say that there is no great
man, ever was or ever will be that
does not, did not or will not expert
ment. If it were not for experiments
the world would be at standstill.
We can see no other reason for, this
strong remark unless he fears you
are trying some one elses candy find
it to be far superior and that in time
you will not be customer of his.
Again to use the phrase "Absolu-
tely Pure" because candy is sweet
does not prove it is pure. No. by no
means. There has been no chemical
test to prove that this merchants can
dies are the purest and best obtain
able. The candy shops should always
be open to the public for inspection.
The foundation of a confectionery
or candy business is the candy kitchen
where all the candies are made.
Cleanliness is the first stage of
purity. How can any thing be pure
if it's surroundings are not clean?
We are absolutely certain of the
clean and sanitary conditions of our
store and have always invited you and
all your friends to visit our candy
shop. If you have not already taken
the opportunity to take look in on
our candy making We again cordially
invite you and all your friends.
