LIME SPREADER IS FAVORED
Machine Is More Efficacious in Secur-
ing Even Distribution of Mate
rial on Soil.

Lime should always be applied t.
the surface of the soil and narrowed
in. This may be done in the fall, win
ter or spring, although many recon-
mend that it be applied in the fall.
When it is put on the land, however,
is not so important as how it is done.
1t should never be plowed under be-
cause it is carried downward in the
soil very rapidly, much of it is wasted
and it is, therefore, less effective in
neutralizing the acidity. Even dis
tribution is, of course, desirable and
for this reason a lime spreader should
be used instead of attempting to dis
tribute it by hand.

SEALING OF sILo IMPORTANT
Satisfactory Plan Is to Husk Ears
From Last Few Loads, Tramp
and Moisten Well.

Proper sealing of the silo is essen
tial in reducing the amount of waste
silage An easy and satisfactory meth
cd is to husk the ears from the last
three or four loads of corn that are
to go into the silo, and run only the
stalks and leaves through the cutter
When these last loads are tramped
and soaked with 20 to 80 barrels of
water, the top will be we'll sealed and
there will be only a thin layer of
waste Moreover, there will be no ear
corn in this waste, because it was

"IN THE SWEET BY AND BY"

The author of the famous hymn
I'm the Sweet By and By" spoke
with a voice Of personal prophecy
of which he could hardly have
been aware when he put into
words what has become classic.
It now develops that there was an
unauthorized publication of the
hymn by a certain publishing
house and the author, Juan H.
Webster, brought suit to have his
rights respected The legal action
was taken over II years ago and
the final determination of the is
sues involved was not reached UNI
til the other day, when the case
was settled by the awardal of $780,
600 damages to the heirs of the
author.
The pathos mingled with the
prophecy of this hymn is that the
author and all Of the original at
torneys in the litigation have died
while the matter was being
threshed out in the courts. It has
become literally true that I'm the
Sweet BY and BY" they have all
gathered ION that beautiful shore
and it has become equally true
that 'In the Sweet BY and By"
even law suit can be settled.

quate reason for this discrepancy.
Somewhere there is rational ex-
cuse for the falling off in the pro-
duction Of ministers. At one time
the minister was the leader Of his
flock and leader in the commun-
ity. His activity is being more or
less circumscribed. Some men
would rather refuse to hear the
voice Of the Lord calling them into
service than be directed and domi-
mated by a congregation that pre-
scribes the manner of service they
shall render.
There was a time when the
minister struck out boldly and
fearlessly, but that time seems to
have passed. The modern con-
ception Of the successful minister
seems to be that he shall cater to
the influential element Of his con-
gregation- and rely upon the
wealth and social position of the
few to sustain him in his under
takings."

Ladies, Please Smoke Outside.

Representative Paul Johnson, Of
the Sixth District, has introduced
a bill providing that women who
smoke IN public places" in the
District of Columbia, shall on con-
viction, be fined $25 for the first
offense and 500 for each subse-
quent one. The bill defines as
public places dining rooms, cafes,
railway stations, and fixes a SIM
liar schedule of fines for those
controlling these public places"
when convicted of permitting wo-
men to smoke therein.
It seems that Mr.. johnson has
been shocked by the sight Of too
many women in Washington puff
fling Ianguidly on cigarettes in ho-
tel lobbies, roof gardens and
cafes," and this has Influenced
him to intimate legislation to stop
it. All Of which tends to confirm
the rumor that he intends to re-
tire from politics at the end Of his
present term; for surely now that
the women have been granted the
ballot, no. good politician would
think of subjecting himself to the
charge of limiting their person
al liberty, and thereby alternating
the female vote.-Madison County

Women Not Eligible To Serve On
Juries

Will Require Action by Legisla-
ture To Make Them Qualified
In a number of counties of the
state jury commissioners in draw
ing lists for service during the
year included the names Of women
who have qualified for suffrage
since the 10Th amendment went in
to effect.
According to prominent attor-
neys these commissioners have
been "a little too previous" for
both the constitution and the code
are silent on the question Of wo-
men jurors, and it is held that UNI
til the legislature enacts statute
specifically qualifying women for
jury service they will not be eligi-
BILE to serve in this capacity.
The constitution provides that
none but qualified electors" shall
serve on juries, and the code Of
1906 section 1854 reads, every
male citizen not under Fl years Of
age" etc, shall serve on juries.
From the provisions quoted it
would seem that the constitutional
provision, read now and interpre-
ted by the federal amendment,
would simply provide that no per-
son other than qualified electors,
male or female, can serve as ju-
rors, leaving to the legislature as
it might deem proper, and hence
the statute limiting jury service
to male citizens only would bar
women from jury duty.
There does not appear to be any
| constitutional provision, federal
or state, that would require quail
fed women electors to serve, and
lawyers here agree that the legis-
lature can restrict jury service to
male electors if it so desires. In
this view it would not be legal for
a woman to serve on jury in this
state. If this view of the law be
upheld by the courts it will be
highly gratifying to many women,
who have heretofore objected to
:, woman suffrage solely the grund
that women would have to serve
on juries. Many women have de-
clined to qualify on this very
ground.
Of coures, the legislature may
change the statute and thus clari-
| fly the situation.

Home Demonstration Work Re-
veals Unframed Talent.

The home demonstration agent
touches the life of those she meets
and helps for more deeply than ap-
pears in typewriter reports about
the number present in various
classes, the quantities Of vegeta-
bles canned, hats made, or SINH
lar vedinces of her activities. In
New York State one woman thanks
the home demonstration agent of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College, because her entire
outlook on life has been altered,
her usefulness to her family
doubled, and her service to the
community at large has recog-
nizable value.
This college trained woman had
large ideas of making her life
count for something, at the time
of her marriage to farmer.
Through misfortunes of one kind
and another things went from bad
to worse on the farm, till they
reached somewhat hopeless sit
uaton. The woman wanted to
help out financially, but could
find very little she was capable OF
doing. Because she wanted to be-
come part Of her community she
became identified with club work.
The home demonstration agent
found her and asked her to pre-
pare the local reports. These
were so cleverly done that they
attracted attention. She became q
local leader. Then she was given
a page to prepare in the Farm and
Home Bureau Monthly, and did it
so helpfully that she had soon
earned over 500 and made per-
manent place for herself. She
gves all the credit to the home
demonstration agent who helped
her to find herself.
