TENN □WA 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. SOIL AND CROP SERVICE, POTASH SYNDICATE 11. A.

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 «hnii e S d t e \ wi J hout harm: £ or thev ?L la , I l o£ hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the Lord or hosts. Sickness will disappear.

As a consequence, life will be S 3 t^ at J an in fant shall at an hundred years of age— rnnlrnl’ man *? ylng at 100 will b e considered merely an infant.

Kh^ ha b a ?k? y ° U d ° ing t 0 bring tbe Marvelous Menagerie 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.

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.

Before he crossed, the gateman barred him on the tracks by lower ing the south gate. Barry then saw a train from Arlington to St. George approaching. He shouted to the flag man. who was unable to hear him. So Barry jumped from the wagon and ran to safety. The locomotive carried the horse and part of the wagon a block and a half.

The Tri-Weekly Journal’* Own Serial The Only Thing That Counts A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia By the Famous Novelet Carolyn Beecher \ (Copyright, 1920.) 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?” (To be continued ) 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 Crop production of the lower Mis sissippi Valley has increased a bil lion dollars during the last ten years The new cotton crop of Egypt has been estimated at 612,000,000 pounds.
