Devote More Land to Truck Farming. Georgetown, June 22.-Though this year's season has not been pro pitious for truck, on account of the immc derate rains of April and May and the first part of June, still this section is making steady progress in developing into a considerable truck ?rowing country. M. M. McCord, county demonstration agent, has been keeping an accurate record of the acreage planted in various crops. This year 860 acres were devoted to Irish potatoes, 400 acres to beans, and about the same in lettuce, cauli flower, spinach, cabbage, cucumbers, onions, etc., for shipment. One day an entire trainload of truck, consist ing of 15 cars, went out from George town. The production of potatoes was materially reduced by wet weather, bu tsome acres yielded as mush as ?0 barrels and the quality, was of the ibest. Advices have been received that certain shipments from Georgetown were among the finest seen in the Northern markets. The early and late shipments realized the best mar ket prices, there having been a fall ing oif in prices at one stage af the shipping season. While the production of lettuce, cauliflower and "cukes" was excel lent, the prices this year have been disappointing. - General crops are not looking as well as usual for the time fo the year. The early corn has been injur ed by rain, but the latter planting is more favorable. Little cotton has been planted in this county. Georgetown is going in for, truck ing" strong. The soil and climate is well adapted for the pur-pose. Recent ly a local truck growers' association was organized and the members are hopeful of great development along this line. This county is also enthusi astic over the tobacco cooperative marketing proposition and expect good results. Over 85 per cent of the tobacco planters have signed up so far. The cotton planters have also entered largely into the Cotton Co operative Marketing association. VAN-NIL never disappoints. Research Work for Nitrogen. Washnigton, June 22.-One of the > least-heralded yet most important cogs in the government's peace and ? wartime machinery is in the fixed ni- j trogen research laboratory here, born : of the world war. When the United States entered 1 . the conflict it was seriously unpre pared in the matter of nitrogen for explosives. The war department un dertook to remedy the situation as ' quickly as possible, but found itself j greatly handicapped, because only ; a few men in the country were famil- ' iar with the nitrogen process. The war department immediately 1 called into consultation some of the ' ablest scientists available, following '? which a nitrate commission was 1 formed. The commission recomended the building of plants for the fix- - ation of atmospheric nitrogen, so . that ammonium nitrate could be se- I cured for explosives during the war : and for the production of fertilizer ' materials as well as nitrogen com- ? pounds useful in the arts during peace time. The laboratory today has a per sonnel of 107, occupies seventeen buildings and owns equipment valued at approximately $1,000,000. HAS Special Machinery. It has, in addition to the equip ment and supplies of standard design, a great quantity of specially con structed apparatus, among which is a high-pressure catalyst testnig plant. This plant has been in successful and continuous operation for more than two years and is believed to be the only catalyst testing plant outside of Germany ever to be operated con tinuously for more than a few weeks at a time. Of vital importance to the United States both in war and in peace is the problem of nitrogen fixation. The element forms an essential constitu ent of explosives, fertilizers and dye stuffs. In time of war the necessity of importing Chilean saltpetre, with its attendant uncertainties and tie up of carrying capacity, is very se rious. In time of peace the use of ni trogen in fertilizers is limited only by the supply, and if available larg er quantities would be used for in creasing the food and other crops ne cessary to the country's welfare. The laboratory was^established pri marily to co-ordinate the knowledge which had been obtained concerning nitrogen fixation by the war depart ment to obtain further information essential to peace-time utilization of the government's nitrate plants, and to continue the investigation of ni trogen processes in general. Most of the laboratory's work has been de voted to the peace-time utilization of the Muscle Shoals plant. A Mother to Sit in Congress. The first mother to sit in the Unit ed States congress will be Mrs. Wini-; fred Mason Huck, who has received the Republican nomination for repre sentative-at-large for the short term from Illinois. There was no Democrat nominee. "I have only one aim in life," said Mrs. Huck, "and that is to set in motion the work that will lead to world peace. I am going to congress j with that purpose. "I shall be the first mother to sit in congress. I shall represent the feelings of other women who have e children. There is only one great po litical issue now. There is no issue between the Republican and the Dem ocratic parties. The issue is peace." Mrs. Huck is nominated to fill the unexpired term of her father, Wil liam E. Mason. His term will end March 4, 1923. Mrs. Huck, according to present plans, will not wait for election in November, as there is no Democratic opposition, but, when of ficially notified of her nomination, will ask Governor Len Small for an immediate appointment to congress. This will be a new departure, as cus tom has construed the congressional appointing power of the governor to be confined to senators. Mrs. Huck, however, says that the governor can make the appointment, and that the house has only to confirm it, which the Republican majority probably would do without hesitation. She ex pects no delay in taking her seat. Robert Wardlow Huck, husband of Mrs. Huck, is a civil engineer at tached to the deep waterways com mission. Mrs. Huck conducted a mail campaign, speaking only in Cook and LaSalle counties. Six men and one woman ran against her for the nomi nation.-Christian Science Monitor, Airplanes May Aid Elopers. Will modern lovers elope by air? It is on record that at least one en terprising couple-have made such an attempt. Unfortunately the plan was nipped in the bud owing to un forseen circumstances. But there is little reason to doubt that before long aerial Don Juans will soar away with their fair burdens. It is interesting to recall the va rious means of effecting elopements. They are as old as time. First they took place on foot, with perhaps the aid of a rowing boat to help cross a river. Horses, too, were in great de mand and many a happy maid rode pillion snatched away under the very eyes of her irate parents. Later came the coach to aid Romeo and Juliet and what a gallant "my love against the world" air it added to the ro mance. Trains and automobiles have also played their part in "love's young dream," but the future "stunt" will be to elope by airplane. The airplane wooer will have to be Dn his guard against the vigilance of j the law which has already found the flying machine useful in the execu-, tion of justice. Thus a policeman in Los Angeles attempted to arrest a Japanese aviator for debt. The man promptly flew off while the policeman g-ave chase in an automobile. The pursuit continued until the aviator was compelled to come down through lack of gasoline.-Sydney Levy in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Integrity. The word in its original sense means wholeness; disintegration is the breaking up of the whole into its elements. When we speak of a man of integrity we mean that he is a man who has maintained his wholeness of j character and who can be counted on not to part with any of its ele ments or principles for any consider ation. Shakespeare's line, "To thine own self be true, is an axortation to preserve integrity. If you betray any part of yourself, you lose your integ rity. If you descend to meanness or trickery in order to obtain a person al advantage, you lose it. If through motives of vanity or self-interest you resort to pretense, you lose it. Fail ure to be industrious and to make the most of your capabilities is failure to maintain your integrity. An indo lent man may be honest, but his in dolence robs him of his integrity. Can a man who is conscious of some loss of integrity regain what he has lost? Surely it must be possible to heal wounds to the character as well as wounds to the body. But the healing process in- either case requir es surgical treatment and the utmost care to guard against further infec tion. And as there is a limit to the power of the body to resist injuries and infections, so there is a limit to the power of the character to renew itself after a succession of weaken ing and disintegrating attacks upon it. The person who wants to keep his integrity had better not be always making small compromises with him self.-Youths' Companion. VAN-NIL never disappoints. Hymns Taken From Rev. A. Allen's Calendar of Last Sundayfl Hymn 18, Popular Hymnal Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest! I hail thy kind return; Lord, make these moments blest. From the low train of mortal toys I soar to reach immortal joys, I soar to reach immortal joys. Now may the King descend, And fill His throne with grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face; Let sinners feel Thy quick'ning word, And learn to know and- fear the Lord, And learn to know and fear the Lord. Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless these sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain. Hymn 14 Am I a soldier of the cross A follower of the Lamb! And shall I fear to own His cause Or blush to speak His name? (Chorus) In the name of Christ the King, Who hath purchased life for me, Through grace I'll win the prom ised crown, Whate'er my cross may be. Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody 'eas? Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Hymn 3 Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah, Pilgrim thro' this barren land; I am weak but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand: Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more; Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar, Lead me all my journey thro': Strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my strength and shield; Strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my strength and shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me thro' the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee; Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee. Hymn 42 All the way my Saviour leads me, What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who thro' life has been my guide? Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell, For I know whate'er betide me, Jesus doeth all things well! All the way my Saviour leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the living bread, Tho' my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be! Gushing from the rock before me, Lo, a spring of joy I see. All the way my Saviour leads me, 0, the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father's house above! When my spirit clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day! This my song thro' endless ages, Jesus led me all the way! Hymn 61 More love to Thee, 0 Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee. This is my earnest plea, More love, 0 Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee!! . More love to Thee! Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best. This all my prayer shall be, More love, 0 Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee!! More love tc Thee! Let sorrow do its work, Send grief and pain, .Sweet are Thy messengers, Sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me, More love, 0 Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee!! More love to Thee! Hymn 440 Hide me, 0 my Saviour, hide me In Thy holy place; Resting there beneath Thy glory, 0 let me see Thy face. , (Chorus) Hide me, hide me, 0 blessed Saviour, hide me; O Saviour keep me Safely, 0 Lord, with Thee. Hide me when the storm is raging O'er life's troubled sea ; Like a dove on ocean's billows, 0, let me fly to Thee. Hide me when my heart is breaking With its weight of woe; When in tears I seek the comfort Thou canst alone bestow. 4 ."J^t ?''v&--f^ WV;' W ?at. .- -v . r. .
