BY ADDISON Z. SMITH

For the past 100 years the best
thought and energy of the world have
been devoted to the building up of an
Industrial system which now seems
top-heavy. 1t is the view of the most
thoughtful minds in the world to-day
that sweeping changes of far-reach-
ing effect will have to be made tn our
present system in order to prevent its
collapse. There are few who fail to
realize the menace to our national Sc
curity which results from the steadily
increasing congestion of humanity in
our large centers of population. With
out doubt our social and economic
stability could be most readily
strengthened by the development Of
our latent land resources, converting
them into living means of production.
The most valuable of all III undevel-
oped is the vast acreage OF
now unproductive land. Its develop
ment and settlement would establish
the economic independence of hum
dreds of thousands of our citizens,
whose stability and character would
be assured by their foothold on the
soil.

HOOVER PROTECTING PUBLIC

Washington, July 5.-Whether Mr..
H~ooyer's plan to keep the price of coal
somewhere within reason during the
strike is to be completely successful IL
now In the balance. Mf. Hoover has
no legal authority for his effort. It
rests wholly on his energy and on the
moral force of his position.
When the strike began there WIS
the usual cry for protection for the in
tnpcent third party, namely, the public,
The federal government, however, had
no authority to intervene, and any au-
shorty that might now be given by
congress would necessarily be of such
a nature that 1t would involve court
proceedings and delays so long that it
could do 10 present good.

MOVE TO STOP BUILDING IDAHO
INTERPRETATIONS HOSPITALS

Boise Idaho, July 3.-The injuntiony
suit to prevent the building of more
than one anti-tuberculosis hospital
will, If successful, in reality prevent
the building Of any, according to a
statement by Mrs. Catherine Athey,
head of the Idaho Anti-Tuberculosis
association. IF one goes, both will
have to go" she stated, "and the whole
subject will have to be gone into again.
The northern part of the state would
not consent to being deprived if the
south secured a hospital and vice
versa" Sentiment is divided on the
subject, although many expressions are
heard to the effect that, excluding all
legal considerations, which must he
adjusted If wrong, there should be
provisions made to prevent encroach-
meRt and spread in Idaho of the
worst disease known to mankind.

The data, which was prepared by d.
F. Blaine of Seattle, representing the
Western States Reclamation associa-

cities to the Salt river project in
Arizona In sending the Blaine chart

asked each ito make a careful study
of it and see how the east had bene-
fitted from reclamation developments

The suggestion of sending out such
date resulted from questions asked or
the floor of the senate several days
ago by n or two eastern senators as
to what reclamation meant to the
east, while Senator Ashurst was
speaking in behalf of reclamation
legislation. Although the charts weF'

uncalculable, putting church and peo-
pie on a splendid working basis.

ST. LOUIS HAD
SUNDAY BLAZE
i. VI. STATION THERE PRACTI.
CALLY DESTROYED IN AN
EARLY MORNING FIRE.

st. Louis was visited by another
disastrous fire at an early hour Sun
day morning, when the Pere Mar
quette passenger station was practi-
cally destroyed by flames, only the
east end of the depot remaining
standing when the flames were finally
extnguished after some hours Of hard
work on the part of the fire depart
ment.
While the fire caused a heavy loss,
and will cause considerable inconven-
ience for some little time, without a
doubt, in the long run it will probably
prove a blessing TO that community,
as the probabilities are that the
structure will be replaced with far
better station than the one which was
destroyed
The fire is thought to have broke
was first discovered shortly after 200
a. m. Sunday, when the alarm was
turned in. The fire department quick
ly responded to the alarm, and did
everything possible to save the struc-
ture, and was on the job fighting the
flames until after 500 a. m. Per-
haps it was decreed by the fates, but
whether or not, the water pressure
was not of the best at first and this
proved handicap TO the fire depart
ment. Every possible effort was made
to quell the flames, however, and to
prevent the high wind from carrying
sparks to places across the track. 1t
was only with difficulty that the
flames were finally brought under con-
troll and extinguished.
After the department had left the
scene it was again called out by some
embers, which the high wind had
again famed into flames, but no added
damage was done, or for that matter
could be done, so complete was the
wreck Of the structure.
A coach has been brought to st
Louis and placed on the ground adj
joining the site of the depot and is
now doing duty as a station, and un-
doubtedly will do station service until
building weather arrives, and it is
possible to erect new building.
If a p NJ. depot had to burn, Alma
residents are wishing that it nigh,
happened about three miles this way
from st. Louis.

BIG BANQUET
To Be STAGED
HERE FRIDAY
FATHERS AND SONS OF CITY
WILL FEAST OGETHER AT
WRIGHT HALL AT $50.
A Good Program
Assured by Boys

Everything seems to be set for one
Of the finest community Father and
Son banquets that Alma has ever
known. The boys of the Hi-Y and
lis committees have been working
like trojans and, if the ticket sale goes
over as it should, the outlook is for a
smooth and enjoyable program.
The doors of the big dining room
at Wright Hall will open promptly
at six.thirty Friday evening and the
grand march will be led by the old
est father and-his son in attendance.
The tickets cost Sl.20 for two people,
price less than that of last year
and one which viii barely cover ex-
penses. 1t is made as low as possible
in order that all may attend
The first thing on the program will
be the cats and these will be in royal
style. The menu is not TO be divulg-
cd at this time but it will be one
suited to the palates Of hungry men
and boys. The service will be in the
hands of young men Of the high
school and college who are donating
their time and it promises to be sat
isfactorily prompt
Frank Smith of Alma will officiate
at the close of the meal in general
song service in which every one will
take part whether possessed of a
voice or not. The extra good voices
are TO be matched against the extra
bad ones, and in this way pleasing
harmony will be sure TO reult. Only
the old favorite songs will be used.
Don Smith, long star on the col
legc musical platform, will open the
individual part of the program with
vocal selection. The speakers on the
program have requested that their
names be not given out until after
the banquet because Of the need of
safety from their friends. The pick
of the forensic talent of Alma will be
there, however. Rev. Green of Mt.
Pleasant will deliver the address of
the evening, and the people of Alma
know that that will be equivalent to
saying that one address will be good.
Miss Lois Smith will render the fem
inne "leaven' needed for every pro-
gram with vocal solo, and Professor
X. c. Luechert, singing evangelist to
bc at the Methodist church, will
round out the musical part of the
evening.
The authorities of the college have
been more than gracious about grant
ing PERMISSION for the use of the
Wright Hall dining room for the ban
quot, a matter involving considerable
trouble and expense for them, for
which they receive no recompense. 1t
is the hope and expectation Of all
that these numerous factors will
make the 1922 Father and Son ban
quot one to be long remembered in
Alma.

State Oat Crop
Needs Fertilizers

That much Of Michigan's one and
half million acre oat crop is in need
of fertilization this spring, and that
crop yields well above the state aver
age can be obtained if proper soil
conditions are brought about, is the
statement Of DR.. ~ NJ. McCool, head
of the soils department at the Mich
igan Agricultural College.
Fertility tests we have conducted
with oats on widely different Soils"
says DR.. McCool in discussing the
question Of fertilization, bring ont
the fact that the better soils for this
crop (the loans, the silt loans, and
the clay loams) are most responsive
to acid phosphate. If the straw de-
velopmcnt is adequate or excessive, it
it a wasteful practice to apply Il
mixed fertilizer for this crop.
The acid phosphate should be add
cd in amounts ranging from one hun
drcd and fifty to two hundred and fif-
ty pounds per acre. The larger APP
pications should be sufficient for two
years. II the soil is rather heavy, yet
low in humus and the straw growth
not adequate, about two hundred and
fifty pounds Of 2-l2-0 fertilizer per
acre should be profitable.
"Where light soils that are in pret-
ty good condition are used for the pro-
duction of this crop the addition Of
2-l2-2 fertilizer ranging in amount
from two hundred to two hundred and
fifty pounds may be advisable. II the
light soils are somewhat worn and are
to produce oats for hay, nitrogen
should be the chief consideration. Nj
tratc of soda may be used as a top
dressing in amounts ranging from
sixty to one hundred pounds per acre" >"
