Restore the Potash
During the past few years farmers have been urged to bend
every effort to produce maximum crops without giving
much consideration to the effect on their soils. Established
rotations were broken up and the very best parts of th6
farm put into the most needed crops, while the poorer
parts were neglected.
In away it was a return to the pioneer’s method of mining
the soil.
Today is the period of readjustment for the farmer as well
as for the merchant and the manufacturer.
The farm labor situation and the uncertainty of future
prices are such that prudence demands that the cost of
producing a unit of crop be reduced as much as possible.
- This requires more crdp units per acre and a return to the
; 1 rotations known to be best for a given locality.
The great factor in reducing the cost of crop production is
■ the right method of feeding the crops.
The composition of commercial plant foods has been pro
foundly changed during the period of Potash famine. Phos
phoric Acid has replaced all or a part of the Potash in Ameri
can fertilizer formulas, while just the. opposite has taken
place in Europe, where there was a shortage of phosphates.
Now is the time to get back to normal again and to return
to the fertilizer formulas that were so profitable and satis
factory in the past. But this cannot be done without
eiTort on th? part of the farmer and without sufficient
notice to the manufacturer to prepare for the change.
Therefore think the matter over carefully, and if your
previous experience has shown you that
Potash Pays
notify your dealer that you wish to use fertilizers with 5 to
10 per cent, of Potash and a little more to make up for the
drain on the soil during the Potash famine.
And do it right away, for it takes time for the'manufacturer to import it
and u is only fair that he should know what your demands Will be.
The price of Potash nas fallen much faster than the prices of farm prod
ucts so you may fee! assured that you can again g‘*t a profit from its
use The mam point is to insist that the {igbt kind of fertilizer shall be
■tl ready for yop when needed. Jn order to insure this, prompt action on
- your part is essentia!.
' Take up the mat ter with your dealer at once. If we can help you write to us.

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For December 26—Isa. 25: 1-8
BY DR. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden text: “And He that sitteth
on the throne soith, Behold, I make
all thing's new.” Bev. 21:5.
We have been studying Matthew's
gospel for three months —the gospel
of the kingdom. We have learned
some things about the kingdom and
its King: but we must go back to the
old prophets for a picture of the
kingdom, for Matthew and the people
for whom he wrote were thoroughly
familiar with what they had written
and hence he does not have much to
say about what they already knew.
It is well, therefore, for us to take
this review period to familiarize our
selves with what they already knew
and had as the background of the
gospel story.
The passage selected from Isaiah
25 gives us only a partial view; it is
selected from the fourth book of
Isaiah (there are seven in all), which
deals with the doom of the nations —
while all the nations that have op
posed and oppressed Israel are to be
smitten. Israel will be smitten also;
but unlike the others, there will be
a remnant of Israel saved who shall
enjoy all the blessings of the king
dom to be established.
In the passage before us, Isaiah
tells only of the feast of fat things
and of wine on the less, that God
is going to provide and prepare for
those who escape the purging judg
ment, swallowing up death in vic
tory. and wiping away all tears from
their eyes, taking away their rebuke.
Os course. Isaiah is having Israel in
mind only. But taking other passages
in Isaiah and some from other
prophets, notably Zachariah, we may
get a bird’s-eye view of the kingdom,
which would have been established
1,900 years ago, if the Jews h%d not
been blinded by prejudice and reject
ed their king.
The Kingdom
The kingdom is to be an earthly
kingdom but of heavenly ■ origin.
Daniel saw the God of heaven setting
up His kingdom after the worldly
kingdoms had been destroyed (now
converted), and Isaiah,- Jeremiah and
Joel saw it established on the earth
with Jesusalem as its capital. It is
hard for Americans and English to
believe this, but the capital of the
world will be Jerusalem one day, not
Washington nor London; for Israel
regathered and restored will be the
Irading nation of the world. Israel is
not scattered amongst the nations, as
God had foretold that she would be,
because of her religion. The ten
tribes wer caried to Assyria seven
centuries before Christ. In 586 B. C.
the tribe of Judah with Benjamin
was carried into captivity at Babylon
for -seventy years, after which less
than 50,000 of them returned to
Jerusalem, but never was the nation
independent since that time? In A.
D. 70 Titus razed Jerusalem to the
ground and scattered the people,
since which time they have been dis
persed among all nations.
But some day they will be gath
ered in the land given to Abraham
again, at first in unbelief, but later
completely restored to God’s favor,
and will then become the leading
nation of the world. It Is most sig-
nif leant that large numbers are now
returning to Palestine-, that the
English governor of Palestine is a
Jew, that the Hebrew language,
dead for 2,000 years, has become the
official language of the schools, and
that under the director of the Zion
ist movement, millions are being
spent in bringing the land and the
people together and making each
fit for the other.
Some day the Jews will become
the leading evangelists of the day;
Zachariah says of them: “In that
day ten men (that is, the whole
world), will take hold of the skirt
of Him that is a Jew, and will say,
‘We will go with Thee for we have
heard that God is with thee.’ ”
The kingdom is to be a land of
beauty. When the first man sinned,
the ground was cursed for his sake;
but when the curse is removed, the
wilderness and the solitary place
shall be made glad and this old
earth shall become like the garden
of the Lord! The fields will be so
fertile that the ploughman shall
overtake the reaper and the treader
of papes him that soweth the seed.
There will be no more boll weevil,
nor drought, nor too much rain, nor
short crops. Every crop will be a
bumper crop. How beautiful some
parts of this old world are now, but
bow much more beautiful will it all
oe when the curse has been re
moved!
Th wr animal kingdom will feel it,
too. Natural enemies will be enemies
n ,° more. The lion and the lamb
shall lie down together, and the bear
Hffi an ox : and a
little child shall lead them. The
child ( shall put its hand in the

Ruined by Late K War
vinHv 16 Hagenbeck zoological
ne ? r Hamburg-, Germany, is to
Th« d \w ant ed and the an 'mals sold.
ni.n Ba i r raised costs of conducting
the park to unbelievable heights and
reduced the number of tourists to an
almost negligible number.
1 01 4, to November,
1918, more than 200 of the great
carnivora died, despite heroic at
tempts to alter their accustomed diet
th^ Se w % e f, eventy-four lion S ;
"YJ® tee " tigers .- forty bears, nineteen
PQlar bears, eight leopards and ten
hyenas. Two hundred apes, seven
ch * rn 'Panzees and 159 baboons died,
and the sea animals lost hardly few
er in proportion.
Enormous prices of animals and
depletion of the world’s stocks made
attempts to build up the park fail
ures, and finally the decision was
reached to dismantle the park and
sell such animals as were not in use
in the traveling shows owned by, Carl
Hagenbeck.
Took Ten Tears to Build Park
The park, the result of the famous
circus man’s genius, was like no
Pt“ er in the world. Animals were
displayed in masses under conditions
as near to their natural habitat as
the climate of Hamburg rendered
possible. Hidden ditches and hot
iron bars held the animals- within
bounds, and the public had the illu
sion of seeing these great herds of
animals running free. In addition
there were villages of primitive peo
ples, in. a manner made familiar in
the United States by the greater ex
positions.
The construction of the park on
waste land outside Hamburg consum
ed ten years and its artificial moun
tain ranges, transplanted forests,
broad lawns and walks, represented
the culmination of more than half a
century of the Hagenbeck fortunes,
which began in 1848, when the older
Hagenbeck, then a fish dealer in
Hamburg, bought a seal from a fish
erman and exhibited it behind his
shop.
DUST IS DANGEROUS
On February 26, last, at Mantiowoc,
Wis., a number of girls in an alum
inum goods factory were putting a
satin finish on articles of that metal,
holding them for the purpose against
rapidly revolving steel brushes. The
air of the room was full of aluminum
dust. A piece of iron wire, caught
in the blades of a blower-fan, gave
off a spark which ignited the dust
and an explosion followed, which
killed six of the girls.
The fan had been installed for the
purpose of removing the dust, but
Itself became cause o fa disastrous
accident.
Up to that time it had not been
known that aluminum dust could ex
plode; but apparently no kind of dust
is safe. Among recent accidents of
the kind was an explosion of fish
meal. Flour, sugar, cornmeal and
spices (such as cinnamon) readily ex
plode under such conditions—i. e,
when suspended as a cloud of finely
divided particles in the air.
Last year eighty human lives and
$7,000,000 worthAof property de-,
stroyed by dust explosions in'vthe
United States. A lighted cigarette,
a candle flame, a spark from ma
chinery or static electricity may
cause a dust explosion. Accidents
of the kind so frequently destroy
threshing machines that insurance
companies will not insure them ex
cept at prohibitive rates.
A dust collecting fan, designed by
the department of agriculture for use
in connection with threshing ma
chinery a,nd supplemented by a fire
extinguisher, has proven successful.
The United Grain Corporation, for
demonstration purposes, has built a
toy-size grain elevator, inside of
which a candle is lighted. When the
grain dust is blown, in it promptly
explodes.

Questions Answered
1— Q. What parts of a soldier’s
uniform are men prohibited from
wearing after leaving the army?
A. The war department's opinion
in determining what should be' con
sidered distinc ive parts of the army
uniform is that the following ar
ticles, when made in conformity with
specifications and standard samples,
or sufficiently close to appear the
same when worn, are taboo, after the
three months during which the uni
fern: may be worn with the red
chevron: Uniform buttons, cap orna
ments, collar insignia (letters “U. S.”
and insig la of the irm of service),
insign'a of rank and grade, white and
olive drab caps, hat cords, overcoats,
service coats, officers’ white coats,
army nurses’ Norfolk coats, army
nurses’ overcoats, army nurses’ capes.
The war department does not object
to the wearing of the army overcoat
if it has been dyed a different color
from olive drab, or if altered so that
it is plainly evident that is is no
longer an army garment. This also
applies to other distinctive parts of
the uniform.
2 Q. What is the salary of a rural
free delivery inspector?
A. The postoffice department says
that there are no special R. F. D. in
spectors. There are only general
postoffice inspectors whose duty it is
to inspect all branches of the service.
The salaries range from $2,300 to
$3,700 a year. Persons desiring these
positions must be in the postal serv
ice in order to be eligible.
3 Q. Was the name “California”
first applied to Lower California?
A. The name was originally ap
plied to Lower California, which was
visited Tiy the Spanish as early as
1533. Later the,name was extended
to the whole western coast of North
America to the 42d degree of lati
' tude, and the distinction of Uppei*
and Lower California was introduced.
4 Q. Please state the names of
the presidents of the United States
who were members of Mlasonic
lodges.
A. A grand secretary of a Ma
sonic order says that the oply pres
idents of whom there are official rec
ords as members of a Masonic lodge

Taylor, Johnson, Jackson, McKinley,
Taft, Roosevelt, and President-elect
Harding. x
5 Q. What grapes are the largest

These grapes frequently measure
4 1-2 inches around, and sometimes
there are enormous clusters weigh
ing from twenty to thirty pounds.
The grapes are black in color.
6Q. What causes moisture to
collect on the inside of window panes,
and what will prevent it?
A. The difference in temperatucp
between a warm room and the cold
air outside will cause the moisture
inside to condense on the window
pane. A good w circulation of air
through the h,ouse will stop this. A
kitchen window should be opened
slightly from the top when food is
cooking, to prevent such condensa
tion on windows and walls.
7Q. When was the salary of the
president of the United States in
creased?
A. The salary of the first presi
dent of the United States was fixed
by the congress of 1789, at $25,000;
March 3rd, 1875, it was raised to
$50,000 by act of congress; March
4th, 1907, a fund of $25,000 was
added for the use of the president
for traveling expenses, and the sec
ond session of the sixtieth congress,
1907, fixed the salary of the president
at $75,000, without changing the sum
given for traveling expenses.
8— Q. Where is the oldest univer
sity in the world?
A. El-Azhar, translated the Re
splendent, a university situated in
Cairo, Egypt, whose history can be
traced back to 970, is probably the
oldest university in the world.

pany says that there are fourteen
submarine cables between the United
States s.nd Europe.

Chapter XXIV •
FULLY aroused by Adele’s
words, Helen rose at once,
bathed, and then put away
the clothing she had worn the
night before. The pretty evening
dress she had felt was an extrava
gance was nearly ruined. In her sob
bing anger she had given it no
thought.
She had torn it in several places,
and as she had not removed it before
throwing herself oh the bed her un
easy sleep had made it unwearable.
“I’ll send it to be cleaned and re
paired,” she said with a wry smile as
she hung it away. Then: “No, I
won’t! I never want to see it again.
I’ll it and give it to Adele.”
“Now tell me'all about it! Did you
have a good time?” It was Adele,
cuddled up in a big chair, who spoke
“What did Mrs. Wheeler wear, and
did you like Mrs. Pond?”
“Mrs. Pond wasn’t there, Adele,
Please don’t ask me any questions
about last night—ever. I shall not
answer. I wish to forget there was
a last night."
“Very well, dear. Curiosity killed
the cat, you know, and I’m not ready
to go just yet, so I’ll forget about
your party and tell you about mine.”
She launched into an enthusiastic de
scription of the house-warming.
“I’d like to know what happened
to Helen last night,” Adele mutter
ed when she had returned to her own
room. “I was afraid Sloane would
say or do something to offend her.
But with all those people, the Wheel
ers there, what could he have done
to make her unwilling to talk to
me?”
But with all her cleverness, her
insights, Adele never, even in her
thoughts, imagined the truth.
“I owe the world nothing, no apol
ogy for anything I ever have done!
Why shculd I let this miserable epi
sode make me so depressed?” Helen
asked herself when after several
days she had been unable to throw
off the feeling of shame that pos
sessed her. And because she knew
that Sloane was right, that she never
would dare tell a soul that she had
been alone with him in his studio
until nearly morning, she tried to
forget it herself.
She wondered how many more
things would happen in her life that
she must put aside, must forget.
“Live today; take what it gives
you; forget yesterday, and fail to re
member there is a tomorrow.”
She dropped the magazine she was
reading to the floor. Yes, that was
the philosophy, that was the right
way to treat life. Live today and
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Here comes a lonely girl for your
good advice. There is a boy that I
have been going' with four years.’ I
love him dearly and he says he loves
me. Sometimes I,think that he loves
me and at other times I don’t. He
will come where I am and won’t
speak to me, and then again he acts
like he is proud to see me. Do you
think he cares anything for me? My
father don’t allow him to call at
home. Do you think that is the rea
son for his doing as he does? There
is another boy that I like very well
and he js just crazy about me, but
he has been married and is divorced
now. Do you think there is any
harm in my marrying him? He has
proposed aiid We are to be married
in a few months, so any advice from
you would be appreciated. Answer
through The Journal.
. WORRIED KID.
You say you love one boy
dearly and yet you write you
care for another, who is a di
vorced man well enough to mar
ry him. If so, my advice to you
is this, “Why worry over the boy
who loves you and yet snubs
you? Paas him by.” If he
treats you in such an ungentle
manly manner, be doesn’t seem
to care much for you. Marrying
the divorced man may be all
right; it depends on what he is
made of. If he weren’t to blame
for his divorce, perhaps he will
make yow a good husband.
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl fifteen. Am in.love with
a boy twenty-two and he says he
loves me dearly, and I am sure I
love him. Do you think he is too
old for me? Do you think I am
too young to go with the boys? And
do you think I am too young to
wear ear puffs? All the girls around
here wear ear puffs. I have black
hair and black eyes, and ruby lips.
lam five feet and weigh 125. I hope
to see this letter printed in the next
issue of The Journal.
BLACK EYES.
I do not think a girl fifteen
years of age too young to have
young men friends, but at the
same time she shouldn’t get it
into her head that every boy she
meets and who flatters her wants
to marry her. I do not think the
young man twenty-two years old
is too old for you. Ear puffs are
all right provided they are not
done up in extreme. You are too
young for them.
Please tell me what will thicken
hair. Every time I comb it, it just
falls oiit. And what will make the
bust smaller? "’WINTER.”
Your hair may be falling out
on account of your general con
dition. Perhaps your system
needs building up. Acidity will
cause the hair to fall out. To
help the hair regain lustre and
strengthen the roots, one should
rub the scalp at least fifteen
minutes each day with finger
tips, dipped first in olive oil, <<
any good hair tonic. I know
nothing that will reduce the bust.
I am coming to you for advice.
What should you say to a boy when
he gives you a nice present? Pleasie
answer througi The Journal.
ELIZABETH.
What you should say is this:
“Your present has given me a
great deal of pleasure, I assure
you. And I am pleased you
thought so kindly of me. I cer
tainly appreciate it.”
I am coming to you for advice. I
am twelve years old and am in love
with a widower thirty-seven years
old. He has four children, three boys
and one girl. The eldest bozagis six
teen years old, and I have promised
this man I would marry hiin. Do
you think I could make him a good
wife? He is a rich man and he says
he loves me better than any one he
has ever seen, and I know that I
love him better than any one. We
are to be married Christmas. I have
kissed this man. Do you think I
did right? Is it nice to sit in this
man’s lap and is it right to wave
and wink at a man? My parents like
this man, and his children all love
me. I do not go to school.
LILLY.
You are entirely too young to
think of marrying any one, much
less a man thirty-seven years old
with four children. He must
have very little sense to put such
silly notions in your head. Can’t
you employ your time in a more
fitting manner than sitting in this
man’s lap. It is very wrong and
you are too big a child to do such
a thing. You should still be play
ing with dolls instead of think
ing about marrying.
forget all the yesterdays and to
morrows.
So, determined to forget, to make
the world her debtor. Helen buried
herself in her writing. Then she be
came the tool of that mysterious
power that moved in her brain, of the
impulse that stirred her being. At
such times her mind often filled with
images with which she was unfamil
iar-thoughts utterly foreign to her,
to her life and habits. She was no
hack writer. Never would be. Money,
as such, was not a ccfmpelling force.
In this as in everything the world
svas ho? debtor. It should pay.
Often, as she read over what she
had written, she felt it was not en
tirely her own, but that it was the
work of an influence she could scarce
ly comprehend, certainly not rule.
Her experience with one of her first
stories written in New York had
made her cautious. Now she scanned
her work closely to see if unknow
ingly she had touched on what she
had determined should remain for
ever hidden. That had been invol
untary, might she not make the same
mistake again?
To write came to her now as na
turally as to speak. Therefore, she
worked steadily when once an idea
had taken possession of her. And
it served another purpose. Gradual
ly it was making dim that which had
awakened the genius in her; that
had caused her —young, beautiful,
accomplished—to go among strang
ers, to leave that other, that night
mare life behind.
This explained in part why Helen
showed a beginning power to listen
to all people said, although she never
talked of herself. It also explained
that occasional something in her,
sharp and bitter—a note of disillus
ionment that jarred.
Kirk Lansing had called often.
Sometimes Helen received him; some
times she sent him away. She ad
mired and respected him more than
any man she ever had met. As she
grew to know him better, to under
stand him his sterling principles, the
honor in which he held women, she
realized that he was beginning to
mean much, very much to her. She
realized that the days were longer
when she neither' heard from him no# -
saw him. From the first his per
sonality had made a grip on hers.
This grip had strengthened with ac
quaintanceship. Now, as friends, it
was growing still more tenacious.
She thought of her past. It must
be an obstacle that would forever
keep them apart. Often she asked
herself the question:
“Can a woman live a lie beside the
man she loves? Live it all her life
long?”

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Have a Simple Christmas
Don’t you remember when Christ
mas seemed to have years and years
between it and the next one? Then
there came the time when you felt
very “grown up” and said with much
emphasis, “the years seems so short,”
and then, really they grew short and
after a while it seemted that a year
must have skipped a. month or so.
Lula May has just informed me that
Christmas will be here next Satur
day, and another of the younger set
has informed me, very seriously, that
next week will not have any Satur
day. Os course I “bit” and asked
how that could be, and was told that
it would be Christmas day.
I used to think that if Christmas
had come in May or June it would
have made them nearer together, it
seemed such a long time to the very
last month.
But it is here again and I hope
that every one of you will be glad
and will try to make it a day of
gladness for some one, that is the
true Christmas spirit, and the only
lasting good. The sudden drop in
cotton has cast a damper on Christ
mas buying, but I cannot say that it
is unmixed evil, there has grown
upon many of us a perfect mania
for spending money. I heard a wom
an say that money was the cheapest
thing in America, and that she meant
to spend her share of it. I told her
that I thought it would be more sen
sible to collect as much of it while
it was cheap and have it ready for
the scarce times. It is so easy to
buy and have things charged, but it
is awful now to harve to pay bills
that were made when there was a
prospect of thirty cent cotton. My
advice to all of you is to buy only
what you are honestly able to pay
for under the present conditions. Not
many of us fool the world ail the
time and a day of settlement is sure
to come.
We need not go about with a face
a yard long; little children are so oft
en unnecessarily impressed by our
long faces, and take things harder
than we think they do. Get them
simple. presents and let the “swap
ping presents” alone.
This has been a good year. We
have had health and prosperity. We
have had no scourge of war, pesti
lence nor famine. The nations are
now in a peace congress and that
means that the influence of the
Blessed Savior whose birthday we
celebrate is the leaven that con
tinues to permeate the world. Sor
row and misfortunes come to all of
us, sometimes through our own mis
deeds, often because another has
chosen the evil way, but we need
only to remember that “joy cometh
in the morning.” The night often
seems as long as our childish ideas
of the distance between Christmas,
but ‘‘The Lord is mindful of his
own” and we must let the days reg
ister only good deeds and forgive
ness. for they so often “know not
what they do.”
Don’t try to make a show, just try
to make some one happy. If you do
that the same glow will be reflected
in your own heart and throughout
the years-
Sentence of Judge
Makes Dusky Thief
Eat Two Minqe Pies
CHICAGO.—John Edward^ 1 , a col
ored waiter employed in the Palmer
House, was arrested as he was leav
ing the entrance of the hotel with
two steaming mince pies in his
hands. Accompanied by the pies, he
confronted Judge Stuart in the Clark
street police court.
“I forgot I was off watch, Judge,”
he explained. “I sure though I
was serving them pies.’
Judge Stuart sentenced him to eat
the two pies in the presence of the
court. The big negro grinned, and
inserting a big flipper beneath ex
hibit A ate his way through it in
three minutes.
Uproar in court was suppressed aS
Edwards reached exhibit B. He con
veyed the whole pie to his mouth
and never came up for air until it
had disappeared.
He was then sent home by the
court with the admonition that if he
ever came up again he would make
him eat the contents of a nie wagon

Loafing Habit. Easily Done
"My egg supply has increased won
derfully. Early in January, I started
