LITTLE BOY BLUE

LITTLE BOY BLUE
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new,
And the solder was passing fair,
And that was the time when our little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go till l come" he said,
And don't o make any noise"
So. toddling off to his trundle bed,
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Oh. faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.
Many poems for. or about. children
have been set to music by well known
composers. This poem, which Eugene
Field wrote for his own children, has
been set to music by two well known
American musicians, Reginald de Koren
and EtheIbert Nevin. 1t is the Nevn
melody which John Mccormack sings
in his programs.
The original manuscript of the poem
in Eugene Fields handwriting was Tor
some years owned by a Mr.. Thompson.
During the world war. Mr.. Thompson
allowed the manuscript to be sold af
auction at a bazaar for the benefit Of
the allies. John Mccormack WIS the

of this mineral. with its richest cen
ter in southeastern Idaho.
The three essential mineral ele-
ments extracted from the soil by cul-
tivated crops and constituting their
richest nutrient elements when used
for food. human or animal. are nitro
gen. potash and PHOSPHORUS.
Nitrogen is most rapidly drawn
upon in agricultural processes. but
science has shown that it can be
maintained in the soil by the farmer
himself, at nominal cost or with
profit in the process. by atmospheric
fixation. through the medium of legu-
minous crops such as clover and al
falfa, and that he does not necessarily
have to pay a tribute to Chill in heavy
first cost, ocean and rail freight
charges, for his soil nitrogen require
ments.
Normal soils are very rich in potash,
in a ratio of 80 to | compared with
PHOSPHORUS. while the latter mineral
is absorbed from the soil in grain pro-
duction in a ratio of about l to . COM
pared to potash. And when the crop
weld is shipped away from the land on
which it was produced, such land rap
idly loses its primary productive cap
acity and gradually becomes a run
down or abandoned farm. as this vital
phosphate element can only be replaced
in adequate amounts from a concen-
trated source of supply.
Soil Will Not Last Forever
Farming in this country is our dom
inent industry. occupying the activities
of fully a third of our population.
Soil is not just the dirt under the
farmers feet. as it is usually treated
IN this country. that will last forever,
but primarily a complex. rather deli
cately balanced mineral substance.
whose value for growing profitable
crops has Deen totally destroyed over
millions of acres in the original 10
states after a'few decades or genera
tons of constant cropping. a condition
of soil sterility in which PHOSPHORUS
IS the most conspicuous lacking ele-
ment.
This s%terility is a westward creep
ing process of soil abuse: it is the true
cause of our national drift from the
farm and not the much -touted bright
lights of the city. Under present gen.
eral methods as practiced in America
the farmer is working for half pay in
crop returns and soil phosphates are
the chief limiting factor and cause of
his failure to get more than half pay
for his labor in crop returns, per acre,
as compared with up to date European
standards of acre-yield where mineral
plant foods are extensively used.
Illinois Experiments
To illustrate the above statements.
soil improvement methods introduced
by the late DIR. Cyril G.. Hopkins of
the University of Illinois, and now ex-
tensively practiced in that state, add
nothing to the soil that the farmer
and his state could not supply. except

a practical plant of 30 tons daily
capacity using this new process on
Idaho rock has been in operation at
the Anaconda, Mont smelter for two

trail west. where it has been well re

Buys :daho Deposits
To fortify itself with a reliable sup
ply of raw material, after thoroughly
studying the entire western phosphate
field through the eyes of its expert
biologists, the company purchased its
present holdings in Idaho in 1920 as
the richest and most desirable depos-
its IN the field.
This property is situated near Soda
Springs. in Caribou county, Idaho. a
well known station on the Oregon Short
Line. 1t covers the main phosphate

contain 100. 1000 tons of 20 per- cent

ly above drainage level. The values
of this rich bed of mineral throughout
the property are as definitely assured
by the nature of its origin as a uni
form coal measure would be, if not
more so, and the property constitutes
what is probably the words largest
privately owned mineral deposit of this
class.
With characteristic vigor. the com
pany has pushed an extensive plan of
development and equipment of the prop
erty since its acquisition less than two
years ago.
A seven-mile railway spur, with two
miles of yard switches and sidings. all
standard equipment. has been extended
from Sod Springs to a central point
of attack for developing the ground
where extensive surface holdings have
been acquired and a now model mining
town for accommodation of employees
has been laid out and started.
Designs for a mining and milling
plant of 1900 tons daily capacity were
drawn and the first 1NO0-ton unit of the
mill. with 1900 ton capacity storage and
loading bins. was completed and put In
operation in December. The plant is
supplied with power from one of the
big hydro-electrric units of the Utah
Light and Power company at Bear Riv-
er canyon.
Up-to.Date Equipment
The mill is equipped with the latest
devices in crushing, screening. drying
and conveying machinery and is resign
ed to prepare the raw rock for export
and for shipment to the new Anaconda
refinery. Classifying experiments now
in progress indicate a product for
minor additions to the mill that will

Average in Eleven First Class
Cities Is 1882 a Year.

Kansas school men and women are

teaching salaries have advanced 10
per cent in the last four years.
Only a few years ago the teaching
profession held the record for receiV-
ing the smallest pay checks of any
class of professional workers in Kan
sas. Now Miss Wooster asserts they
are among the highest. Salaries for
the present years are about 10 per
cent higher than during the school
year of 192O-21.
Average of $4,627 Per Year.
In the eleven first class cities of

ON OIL TAX
American Interests Arrange for
s2S,OOO,0OO Settlement.
Quarrel Has Been Chief Issue
in Fight on Oregon.


San Antonio. Tex, Jan. 1s.-Ameri-
can oil companies have reached an
agreement with the Mexican govern
ment for the satisfactory settlement of
the $23,0o0.000 oil export oil tax due
January %. according to word re-
ceived today in official circles.
The oil interests have completed
arrangements with New York bankers
to take up approximately the total
amount of the oil tax due in notes and
interest owed the American financiers
by the Mexican government.
Some of the loans are ten years old.
One loan is for 100000. In the
settlement contracts, the loans are re-
ferred to as exterior loans and no
actual cash will be received by the
Mexican government in the deal.
The payment of the oil tax has been
one of the rallying cries of the anti
Obregon forces since last fall. The
present settlement plan is being used
in an effort to GUST Aware Obregon
from the presidential chair.
Supporters of Antonio Villarreal, an
avowed candidate for the presidency,
are using the settlement plan with the
poems, or lower class of Mexicans, in
their efforts to foment revolt. particu-
larly in the northern states of the
republic.
They claim Obregon should have
made a settlement which would have
secured a large amount of cash to be
used. to relieve unemployment and
starvation existing in the provinces.

BIG PROFIT TO U. S.
America Pockets S1OO,O0O,OOO

Food Supplies Overseas Dwin-
died to Low Mark.

Washington, Jan. 19.-American
farmers will pocket in excess of $780,
900, 900 in cash from grain purchases
which Europe will make in the United
States to supply her population until
next harvest, government experts es-
timated today.
Europe's foodstuffs supply are
alarm;ngly low. Essential grains,
such as wheat and corn, as well as
some other foodstuffs, have dwindled
to the danger point, according to off
cial reports.
New demands will be made on
American producers to supply the
United Kingdom, FIR e, Italy,
Czecho-Slovakia. Germany and Aus
tria, and possibly other countries.
Large export movements of grain
already are reported bound overseas
and advices to the commerce and ag-
ricultural department today indicated
that a steady flow of wheat and corn
and other foodstuffs is likely to con-
tinue until the harvest abroad assures
foreign populations of plenty for their
needs.
Europe's demands for breadstuffs,
including leading grains, alone will
run probably as high as $4,000, 600
bushels. Then. in addition, meats and
other foods will be needed in large
quantities.

TEST OF STRENGTH ON TODAY


IOr AT1IACTS O0lOu IAsCCllOAls
Salina, Kan, Jan. 19-The test of
the strength of Maurice McAuliffe
in the convention of the Farmers
union, of Kansas. in session here, will
come TO-DAY at the election of off
GERS. McAuliffe resigned as PRESENT
of the union but his friends declare
he will have a big hand in naming
his successor. When the nominations
were made yesterday, a McAuliffe
ticket, headed by F. W. Bennington,
of Jewell equity, for president, was in
the field. A ticket fostered by the
board of directors, is headed by John
Tromble. of Bcloit.
No definite action was taken yes
terday on uniting the Farmers union
and the Wheat Growers association,
and it is said that the proposition will
have to be voted upon by local Farm
ers' unions before it can be adopted
by the state convention because of
the fact that the local unions own the
elevators that are to be used in the
marketing plan.
w. P. LambertSon, a candidate for
governor, is at the head of the resoiu-
tons committee, and it became known
today that the resolutions will contain
one plank which will place the Farm
ers' union in a position as opposing
hard surfaced roads. A resolution is
to be introduced opposing the further
application by congress of federal aid
for hard roads.
