lincoIn'S Mother

Lincoln's mother sleeps on q hill
that has been taken over and beau
titled by grateful public.
/ She was one of the first to be
laid to rest there, and few came
afterward to keep her company.
Peter Studebaker erected a simple
stone to mark her grave soon after
the Civil War, and some twenty
years ago the people of Spencer
County erected a monument.

Mexico Denorts a Writer

Joseph DE Courcy, Mexico City correspondent of
the New York Times, has been deported from Mexico
The dispatch says he was placed aboard border
bound train guarded by Mexican police agents APP
parently with the intent to see him safely across
the Rio Grande
State Department advices are that De Courcy
was arrested the night of Aug. and held incom-
municado The nature OF the charges the report adds
was not made known.

She is not bound to do SO, but frankness would be
greatly to her interest.
Every nation is master in its OWE house and has
the right to fire out any foreigner wishes to be rid
of, nor does it have to tell why
But it is nevertheless bad practice, particularly
when the person is writer. Freedom of the press
is sacred the world over, however much it may be
made conspicuous by its absence, as for example at
present in Russia and Italy Mexico should not deport
journalist without explanation unless she is pre-
pared to have the worst possible construction placed
upon it.
Unless Mexico is willing to have the public believe
there are things she does not want printed; and
unless she is willing for the impression to get abroad
that she seeks to intimdate foreign correspondents
by holding their heads the threat of expulsion,
she should explain De Courcy's exit.

Small Amounts of Salt
Not Dangerous for Hen

In the mineral mixture for poul-
try, Professor Bittenbender, Iowa Col
lege of Agriculture, uses about one
part of salt in ten parts of the total.
This means that with 10 per cent Of
minerals in the mash (the hens con.
sumo about equal parts of scratch
and mash) about " per cent OF the
total ration would be salt.
In this connection you will be in
terested in knowing about the recent
work done by Prof. H. H. Mitchell,
L. e. Card and G. G. Carman of the
University of Illinois. They find by
actual experiments that the presence
of small amounts of salt in feeds for
poultry is not so dangerous or toxic
as has commonly been believed.
Their experiments showed that as
high as s per cent salt in the ra-
ton of birds nine to twenty-one
weeks of age was without apparent
ly detrimental effects"
1t appears, then, that chickens are
like pigs; they can stand much more
salt than a good many folks think.

Witty Retorf That
Put End to Heckling

The late Rev. S. S. Henshaw, primi-
tive Methodist minister, will long be
remembered in Sheffield, says an Eng
fish periodical. In earlier days he
was an active radical, and did much
to help the parliamentary candidates
of his party. A little man, he had a
cutting wit. On one occasion, at cleo
ton time, his candidate was being
badly heckled by giant publican,
who had come to smash the Liberals.
The member found him a difficult GUS
toner. At last the little preacher
plucked his sleeve and whispered:
Let me deal with him." Advancing
to the front of the platform, he asked
blandly: Now, sir, what is 1t you
want?" The burly publican, thumbs
in the armholes of his waistcoat, eyed
him scornfully for a few moments,
and then growled: 'Thee! Why,
man, could ate thee!" II dare say
you could" flashed back Mr.. Henshaw,
smiling; "but If you did, you would
have more brains in your stomach
than you have ever had in your head"
There was no further trouble.

PREPARING FOR
TOURING TRIPS
Sleeping Shelter is One OF
Most Important Items
to Be Considered.

Never, since the cOvered-wagon Gays
when our forefathers threaded the
trackless wilderness, has any traveller
been so much in need of self-reliance
as the modern automobile tourist and
camper. "Be prepared should there
fore be the motto of every motorist
who intends to get fullest enjoyment
from his touring trips.
Question of Shelter.
Assuming that the tourist has pro-
vided himself with enough suitable
clothing, food, bedding and cooking
equipment, his next thought is likely
to be about a sleeping shelter. 1t
will be found that the outside tent
arrangement, consisting of tent
erected on one side of the car so that
the car may be used as dressing
room, is satisfactory for all-around
conditions. More elaborate equipment,
such as sleeping trailers, can, Of
course, be purchased.
In buying a tent 1t is best to get
one of balloon silk because Of the
small space this material occupies
when it is folded. See that there Is
provision for keeping out flies and
insects, and that there is a good floor.
II you are not sure that your tent is
waterproof, coat it with some water
proofing agent.
Watch Water Supply.
Take proper caresof foodstuffs. and
remember, too, that the water you
carry must be used not only for drink
ing and cooking, but also for the cool
ing system of your car. Special water
bags which hold an adequate supply
can be obtained.
Last Of all, don't weigh down your
car with camping articles of unneces-
sary bulk. Cots, stoves, etc., should
be of the most compact type, so that
they can be fitted readily into the
space your car provides.

Best Fertilizer
Less Expensive
Increasing Demand Has Re
suited in Higher Concen-
trated Mixtures.

The growing demand for good fer
tilizers has resulted in the production
of highly concentrated mixtures which
in the end are less expensive to use.
1.-THE tendency to use high-aEalysis
fertilizers has resulted in such mix
lures as 1906, 1865. 1866, and 16-
S-S, which are highly concentrated
compounds" says S. X. Jackson, fer
tility agronomist at the North Caro-
lima State college. "Since the price of
fertilizers is based on the cost of ma
terials and the general expense Of
mixing, bagging, storage, commission
and freight, it is less expensive to buy
such mixtures than the old low-grade
materials. One ton of q 1858 mix
ture contains the same amount of
plant food as two tons Of an S-4-4
mixture. When a farmer buys two
tons of the S-4-4 goods, he pays ex-
pense charges for two tons of mix
ture compared with expense charges
Of only one ton when he buys a 1858
mixture. Then, too, the high-grade
mixtures are made from only the very
best of materials which furnish plant
food in readily available FORM"
Several Questions Arise. -.
Mr.. Jackson states that number
of questions have arisen regarding the
use of these highly concentrated mix
lures. Farmers want to know the eff
feet upon termination of seeds and
the condition of the fertilizers when
mixed and stored. All of these prob
lens are now being investigated by
the federal bureau of soils and the
agricultural experiment station. This
work has been done in North Carolina
for two years and the results indicate
that these highly concentrated mix
lures may reasonably find place in
fertilizer practice. More facts are
needed, however, as to the effect on
crop yields and the investigations are
still in progress.
Use Various Soil Types.
Most of the research work with
these mixtures is being done in COOP
Grafton with farmers of the state.
The various soil types are being used
and the crops which are important
in given locality are being tested.
Mr.. Jackson believes that the high
analysis goods will eventually come
into more general use.

Clock Acts as Traffic
Cop in Kansas Capital

The alarm clock, faithful servant of
the American home, now is being en-
ployed as warning that the business
mans automobile has been parked
long enough and that it's time to
move on.
With two-hour parking limit in the
business section of Topeka, several
houses have installed alarm clocks in
the offices. At the end of the two
hours the alarm rings. A man gets
up, hurries out and moves all the au-
tomobiles belonging to employees of
the company.
The alarm is set up two hours and
the performance repeated. So it goes
throughout the day. Business houses
are using the idea and claim it works
to perfection. More and more estab-
lishments are reported taking up the
move.
