Tobacco Makes a
Good Fertilizer

In view of the current prices o.
commercial fertilizers and the fact
that some grades Of tobacco are sell
ing for less than $500 per hundred
pounds. Kentucky farmers can
profitably use tobacco, especially
some Of the dark tobeceos for fer
tilizing purposes, according to a re-
ply made by Prof. George Roberts,
head of the iAgronomy Department
of the State College Of Agriculture,
in repsonse to numerous inquiries
being received from farmers. A ton
of tobacco fine enough for distribu-
ton would be worth about $67.5 or
1897 hundred pounds according to
calculations made on certain current
prices Of mired fertilizers. However,
if the tobacco is to be used as a
fertilizer it should only be used in
connection with acid phosphate, was
the suggestion of Professor Roberts.
A ton Of tobacco containing the
average amount Of nitrogen and
potash, which is four per cent Of the
former and six per cent of the, hat
ter, when mixed with 1000 pounds
Of acid phosphate would make a ton
Of fertilizer having the following APP
proximate composition Nitrogen, 2
per cent; phosphoric acid, 8 rer
cent, and potash, 3 per cent. On the
basis of certain current mixed fer
tilizer prices this tobacco mixture
fertilizer would be worth about $50
! ton, according to Professor Rob
srts.

Roosevelt Portrait
Free to All Schools

Judge F. D. Sampson, Of the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals, has arrang-
ed for every school room in Ken
lucky to have a life-size portrait
Of Theodore Roosevelt free.
On the portrait is painted the
last message of Colonel Roosevelt on
Americanism, sent the night before
he died, January 9Th, 1919, through
the American Defense Society, of
which Judge Sampson is member.
Colonel Roosevelt said: "There can
be no divided allegiance in Ameica.
a man who comes to this country
and becomes a citizen in fact, should
be treated on equality with all other
citizens. But a man who pretends
to be an American and also tries to
be something else should not be al
lowed to remain in this countryw
Judge Sampson requests teachers
and superintendent of schools to
cooperate with him in interesting
the school children in this work of
Amer;canism. Every school room in
the state may have a Roosevelt por-
trait, size 20x24 inches, free, if the
school children or parents in the |
school district will have the portrait |
framed. One condition is that when
The portrait is framed It shall be |
hung with appropriate ceremonies in
which the children should take part.
It would be well if the parents would
also take part in the ceremonies
when the portrait is hung.
State Superintendent of Public
instruction George Colvin heartily
approves of this plan and requests
hat all teachers in Kentucky write
. their respective county superin-
endents, stating the number of
Roosevelt pictures which thew will
Undertake to have properly framed
nd hung, The American Defense
'ociety furnishes the pictures free.

This was the reply that Albert L
Terstegge, president of the Louis
vile Automobile Club, made when ii.
attention was called to Governor
Morrow's denial Of Mr.. Terstegge's
assertion that the road-building pro-
gram had broken down.
''The old saying that Figures don't
lie may be trpe,T Mr.. Terstsgge adj
ded, 'but they can't be made .s con

The Governor was quoted as say
ing that the fund for building roads
this year win be more than double
that Of any previous year, and that
the road building program had fall

being the failure Of the whiskey tax
to hold.
The state win supply $4,000, 900

"Ask the Governor" he continued,
eff it is not fact that the only state
funds available for construction
work in 1921 are not simply repre-
sented by the amount Of the auto
mobile license fees. Ask him il it is +
not a fact that the two angles of
the road fund are the automobile
license fees and federal aid.
"Ask him if he knows that more
than thirty states imposing license
fees on automobiles use the money
only for maintenance or, in other
words, FOR repairing the wear and
tear Of the roads caused by the au-
tomobiles.
"Ask him how many miles of the 4
1919 in the state system win be con

BELOVED BY ALL PARISIANs
Solemn and Sacred in Memory Is the Square Known as the Place
 de Ia Concorde.

"The spot where France weeps," the Place de la COncorde, is one of Paris greatest showplaces., Thousands died there fin the blood of madness of the French Revolution; the allied ene- mics of Napoleon held solemn Te Deum there in 1914; in 1871 the hated Prussian encamped in the beautiful square; later the same year it was the scene of fierce and bloody conflicts be- tween the Versailles troops and the Communards, who had erected barri- cades at one of it's entrances. Since 1871 until recently the statue dedi- cated to the city of Strassbourg had been continuously draped in mourning, and known as the Lost Sister," keep ing Alsace-Lorraine alive in the minds of Frenchmen.
 It is a place of lovely fountains and statues. Originally it was intended as a center of cOmmemOration, where statues and monuments might be erected to celebrate the memory of great Frenchmen and their deeds. There are in 1t now eight colossal statues, representing eight principal cities of France-Lille, ROuen, Nantes, Bordeaux, Brest, Marseilles, Lyons and StrassbOurg. There is now talk of erecting in 1t some immortal concep- tion of the present conflict and its victorious outcome.

Innanese Lucky Numhers.

In Japan the telephone number eight commands a higher price from sub seribers than any other. This number, written in Japanese character, means success and prosperity. and costs the subscriber who holds 1t nearly EDO a year. Another lucky number is 357. for the reason that it is the custom to present children tO the deity on their third. fifth and seventh birth days. AS q general rule odd numbers are considered Iuckier than even num- bers. Numbers fOrty-twO and forty nine are particularly unlucky in the eyes of the Japanese. The former is pronounced 'shini." wEich means death; the latter "shiku." meaning distress and suffering. These numbers are carefully avoided by subscribers. and are usually allotted to police sta tions, aslyums and similar institutions. London Tit-Bits.
