MAR "a q business speculation
w Is almost equally disastrous
to both sides, and not only Is ii
disastrous to those that engage In
the war, but disturbing and to A
certain degree disastrous to those
nations not actually involved.
Whether or not this Is a wholly
civilized age may be open to dis
cussion; but that II Is a business
age is not subject TO doubt or
debate.
IL war violates the principles Of
sound business, If ii shows no
profit TO either party TO the con-
flict. IL 1t brings nothing but dis
aster TO the individual nations
concerned and decentralization 20
the business of the world, IL is
doomed to die.
The question then merely is:
"HolO can lce best dp-
prOdcb the abolition of
icar or, as ne lately decided
to state the proposition, the
establishment Of universal
peacel"
l maintain that this can best he
done by the establishment of
peaceful understandings among
nations or groups of nations
capable OF harmonious coopera-
ton for peaceful and protective
purposes.
In my opinion, the universal
establishment of peace must be
attained through successive steps
and to my mind the first step is
the establishment of an under.
standing between the English
speaking nations Of the world.
This great Oglethorpe Unlver'
sity, 1 am very proud to say, has
expressed its approval of this pro
posal; and when we realize that
this university was founded II
honor of great and liberia
Engiishnan. that this state (onc'
the colony OF Georgia) wa
founded and settled by English
that ii was named after the Eng
lish king, and that ninety-nine pc
cent of It's population speak Eng
lish, we can see what n rationa
basis there i in this country TO
a rapprochement with other Eng
disappearing nations--provided. Il
course, that other circumstance
and conditions are reasonable anl
favorable.

PRINCIPAL OBSTACLE

In resisting the appeal TO send
strikers back TO work pending
negotiations for settlement OF
their demands. Christoffel asserted
the OPM should insist that the
Allis-C Chalmers management ac-
cept the proposal made by the
OPM on March !. That proposal
was accepted by the strikers, bu'
rejected by the company.
The principal obstacle has been

antee of union security.

CALL SPECIAL PANEL

A special panel OF five members
of the NDMB, headed by Chair
man Clarence A. Dykstrs. was
called together in an attempt TO
mediate the Harvester strike.
Something OF the urgency was
taken from the situation, how
ever. after the mediation board
obtained an agreement that the
strikers in the four closed plants
of the Harvester company in In
diana and Illinois would return
10 their jobs today and tomorrow,
pending a decision by the media
ton board.
Grant Oekes. national chairman
OF the Farm Equipment Workers
Organizing Committee. revealed
the decision of the Harvester men
TO 70 back to work was based on
four main points made in the med
istion boards proposal They
were
That there will be no dis
elimination against strikers.

will consider the strike issues.
That the board will make

There are many needless cancer
deaths today which could and should
be prevented through widespread
public education. 1t is estimated
that about one-third of the popula-
ton do not recognize the symptoms
of cancer early enough to help them
selves and not everyone knows that
the only safe and effective methods
of treatment are surgery, x-ray or
radium applied early. The Women's
Field Army of the American Socie-
ty for the Control of Cancer con-
ducts throughout the year a cam

to make known to every, woman n

A Gentle Laxative

tasty laxative once will welcome it
the next time he's constipated and
it has him headachy, cross, listless,
with bad breath, coated tongue or

Syrup Of Black raught is a tasty
liquid companion to the famous
BLACK-DRAUGHT. The principal
ingredient is the same in both
products; helps impart tone to lazy

The Syrup's flavor appeals to

made their final reports and were
accorded high praises and express
sions of appreciation from the
Church. Their reports having been
received, they were discharged. A
small balance due on the cost of the
building was raised in a few minutes,

Many farmers have asked, We.
more fertilizer seems to be needed
to grow profitable crops than used
to be the case. Recently compiled
data on the plant food contained
in important crops answers the
question. After looking over these
figures. it is easy to see that good
yields of crops contain large guam
titles of nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash. Fertile soils under
natural conditions accumulate
considerable quantities of the
above nutrients in available form.
When farming is started, these
supplies feed the crop, and good
yields are obtained. AS the crop
ping is continued, these supplies
are gradually reduced, and yields
begin to drop accordingly.
Sooner or later, depending on
the natural fertility of the soil,
the point is reached where salts
factory yields of crops no longer
can be obtained. The trouble
usually is not caused by all the
nutrients becoming depleted at the
same time. Since most of the
soils in North America are low in
their natural supply of phosphate,
this nutrient usually becomes the
first limiting factor, eve though
crops do not remove much of it.
On some soils, nitrogen may be
the first to become deficient, while
on others, especially peats and
mucks, it is potash. Since phos-
phate is usually the first to be-
come depleted, it is the first fer
tilizer added. This may step up
yields for a while, but they will
decrease again due to a diminish
ing supply of some other nutrient,
and this may be nitrogen or potash
or both. Other factors, such as
soil acidity, secondary nutrients,
or diseases. may also enter into
the picture and must be taken
care of if good crops are to be
maintained.
Since the three nutrients, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and potash,
are those most commonly lacking
in the soil, the amounts of these
d. contained in good yields of prin-
cipal crops have been given special
consideration and are shown in
the table below.
