To have this need supplied is
the chief purpose of the National
Soil .Fertility league—an organ
ization made tip of some of the
most noted public men and prog
ress-makers of the United States
—such men as Champ Clark,
James J. Hill, William J. Bryan,
President Taft. B. F. Yoakum
and Franklin McVeagh. Georgia
is represented on the advisory
committee by J. S. B. Thompson,
of Atlanta.
The league is just now center
ing its efforts on having congress
appropriate a fund of $1,000,000
to be distributed among the states
according to the proportion of
farm population. The states ar^
themselves to appropriate a sum >
equal to the amount received
from the Federal government,
mi), the whole is to be used by
the state colleges of agriculture
to provide farm demonstrators.
It is planned that this fund shall
be increased $500,000 a year until
it shall reach $4,500,000 and ev
ery township'in the United States
shall get the benefit of demon
stration Work.
In this' as .well as in its
other plans of conserving the fer
tility of the soil and making it
produce to the limit of its pos
sibilities, the National Soil Fer
tility league slioltld have the ac
tive support and encouragement
of the people everywhere.

Mental Differences Between Man and Woman
"Woman in altruistic, man la egotistic;
and this difference together with many
others is found to produce a marked In
fluence upon insanity from which the two
seres suffer.”
To the eminent English alienist, Dr.
W. H. B. fitoddart, we are indebted for
the foregoing comparison and for sev
eral Interesting ones to follow. Men
have a keener sensibility to pain and a
keener sense of touch than women;
again, the sterner sex hear better than
womtn and have a more acute sense of
smell, we are told. Furthermore,* the
masculine ear can appreciate higher,
shriller tones than are perceived by the
feminine hearing apparatus.
The sense of sight scema to be equal

The National Soil Fertility
League and its Work.
Modern scientific methods of
farming evolved and perfected by
agricultural colleges and stato
and national departments of ag
riculture are far in advance of
the practice of the great mass of
farmorA ' , . , ' '
This is. of course, a situation
that needs to bo remedied as rap
idly as possible. The knowledge
gained at the experiment sta
tions' throughout' the country at
vast outlay of time and, money
must be brought not merely into
occasional but into general adop
tion.
Many ways of doing this are
already being employed—the dis
tribution of pamphlets and bulle.
tins, tht* operation of Npecial
trains,-and the holding • of lee;
tures and institute*. All of these
have proved highly valuable, and
each year their use is to he ex,
tended and their scope enlarged.
”8111 no method is so directly
successful as that of actual dem
onstration on the land itself. In
every department of activity ac
tual practice, supplemented, of
course, bv other methods of In-
struetion, is the best way for
knowledge to be acquired and its
benefits retained and ( turned to
account.
Every state now has its quotq
of farm demonstrators, who are
working out the problems of ag
riculture right before the eyes
of the farmer, but there are still
not- enough of these experts. One
Uncle Sam’s -•
Unpreparedness for War.
Secrotarv of War Stimson, in
his annual, report tt> the presi
dent, reiterates . what has been
often reiterated before—the fact
that our army is “ineffective for
any serious ufar service.”
The recent, maneuvers of the
Atlantic fleqt jn the Hudson river
was used by a number of writers
for pointing out the fact that our
navy is likewise ineffective for
any serious war service.
Following these annual “un
preparedness ’ ’ announcements
come also the annual'war scares.
Japan is the usual stock bogie
At a pinch Mexico will serve and t
mayhap, Russia. No .country is
either tbo' powerful or too/ insig
nificant to sprout a war fright.
And just ns continually do tho
people refuse to be stampeded by
them. The more war is preach
ed the more-interest do they take
in-pencu and .in arbitration tren-
tigs that will .result ill milking
peace permanent.
But n6twithstanding all this, it
is imperative that the United
States maintain hptli nn army
and a navy, and what is main
tained of both should be kept at
the highest point of business and
tactical efficiency. If the methods
of coaling our warships is waste
ful ami antiquated, it can he
nothing'elsef but folly to let it
continue, and if the distribution
uml management of our small
army is unskillfully done, thfen
that, too, must bo remedied. ’
Secretary Stimson’s report con
tains at least one sune observa
tion. It is that “the function of
the modefn arni.v is to he the
School for the -tiitizen soldier ns
opposed to the idea that it should
be a permanent organization of
professional soldiers.” All our
wars have been fought and won
in their finality by citizen sol
diers, trained and guided by the
professionals.
To put in effect bis idea, .Mr.
Stimson recommends tlfat terms
of enlistment in the regular army
be shortened and provisions made
for a large reserve force. And in
this conqpction the better train
ing and equipment of the state
mijitia can not be too' strongly
urged.
The old adage, “In times of
peace prepare for war.” still
holds true, but nowadays it is
eas.Vi to over emphasize it. An
adage better suited to needs of
the present age would be: “In
times of peace prepare for more
peace.”
UNCLE WALT * 'philosopher
lie often grew tired of his toiling, and wished that he slept
with the dead: grew tired of, the grinding and moiling, that
brought him tobacco and bread; grew tired of
THE RETIRED his fare, bread-and-eheesy, and wished that his
journey was thru, nnd longed for the'Avenue
WORKER Easy, with nothing whatever to do. It chauced
on a day that his uncle bequeathed hint u
package of bones: he said: “Oh, this glittering junk'll' release
me from sorrow and groans! -With nothing to do but play
checker*, my life will be happy and gay;,for labor and sweat
are the wreckers that drive nil enjoyment away.” He went to
the Avenue Easy, and loafed till his trilbys were cold; he loafed
till he grew fat and wheezy, and covered with mushrooms and
mold. And often he said to his neighbor, when jaded and
weary and bine: “The hardest of all mortal labor is having no
sane thing to do!”

While we have no criticism td make

nocence of these men, and who loyally
f ave expression Vo such belief, yet The
ournal of Labor, in what might have
been Interpreted by some of our good

best to await the outcome of tho trials
In court of these men before editorially
discussing the case one way ■ br the
other.
Th* virtual "kidnaping” tactics of

to bo exclusively, reserved for use In tho

labor. ,
But we preferred to be ultra-conser
vative fn the premises, and to await thu
final developments, whatever they might
be, In thie now historic case.
But. noy that these misguided,
wretched miscreants have confessed to
the cold-blooded, diabolical blowing up
of The Los Angeles Times building, and
the consequent loss of 21 human lives,
we heartily Join In the universal chorus
of condemnation which hes swept over
this country, by all classes of good citi
zens—organised and unorganized labor
—and we shall attempt to briefly die-
cuss to what extent, If any. organised
labor, as a whole. Is responsible for or
connected with such grewsome tragedy.
In the first place, we feel grateful
that the American people and press, as
a whole, are viewing*' this- deplorable Un the world that does not hav
by their acts. Organized labor feels
grieved that these McNamaraa, trusted
by ope of the organizations, should
have so grossly betrayed, it and
wronged the organization to which they
belonged—and outraged humanity by
hurling over a acore of Innocent people
Into eternity.
And, for fear that there may be other
bloody-minded wretchei In Ite runki,
or In Its high places (aa the history of
the world shows exist In all nrganlsa

bor should make diligent Inquiry and
search, and utterly cast out any such
