One of your most pressing probl<r?riaH aud one to be acted upon without delay, is the matter of obtaining your fertilizer. In spite of the best efforts of the manufacturers and the Government, I materials for making fertilizers are I scarce and high in price. Therefore, ; it is all the more necessary that what ( fertilizers are to be distributed, should be u^ed upon soil that has received the very best preparations the farmer is capable of giving. The mobilization of our anny, requ::!ig a mr.vimum movement of troop -ains and : npply trains, has over-taxed the capacity of our railroads as never before, and i ' order for fertilizers to be distributed this season, the movement must of necessity, begin early and the unloading of cars at destination be done with utmost despatch.

I "You can't cull me up because I I have no telephone in my house." I. "No telephone? Why. I supposed every house hud a telephone nowadays." ".Mine hasn't. It hud one and I had it taken out." ^ "Why so?" "Well, there's n little story about it. If you care to hear it, I'll tell it to you. You know, I live out at llihton. an hour's ride from the city. When I p was tirst married, my wife was alone all day, I being In town at business, so we concluded to put in a telepliuue j so that she could call me up once in j a while to break her loneliness, or if I anything unusual occurred. "Well, the first thing to be coin- | munlcated was, *1 caught the mouse ! 1 set the trap for; what shall I do I with it?' The next thing to be com-j munlcated was, 'Someone is ill In the house opposite; the doctor's conveyance Is standing before the door.' Then she culled me up to usk me to|_ hring her u spool of thread when I j came out in the evening. I must walk ) six blocks to a store where 1 could (1 buy the kind she wanted, and she j could get it by walking two blocks, or__ send for it by telephone. I told her , to do this and she said she didn't like \ to ask the storekeeper to send so small < a package costing only two cents. It! ^ was the same with an yeast cake. But all tills was nothing to what F happened one night when 1 stayed in _ town taking an account of stock. At it*ki u ciock i was rung up and my wife said: 'I'm going to bed, dear. It's ; awful to think that you won't he at Inline till tomorrow evening?' I tried to cheer her by promising to go home early the next evening, and after telephoning half a dozen kisses I hung up the receiver and continued js my work. Ten minutes later I wus culled again: ? "'Heginal! Oh Reginald 1' " 'What is it, dear?' " 'I hear sounds below. Someone is ! ^ trying to break into the house.' "What could I do? I couldn't ask my wife to go down und face a robber. 1 ^ I asked her what the souuds were like I and she suld they were like those mude by someone boring. "I now really became frightened myself. I was not so much afraid of burglars attacking my wife; for I knew that she had her bedroom door locked und furniture heaped ugalnst it. Whut I feared wus that she would j be frightened to death. However, I j must plan for her. "I called a council of those working with me in stock taking, stutlng that | my wife was locked in her room at, home while burglars were below bor- j ing in the door, doubtless intending to make a hole to put in an arm to < remove the chain and open the door. J All voted it a complicated ease. Ii j was suggested that I telephone the! police at Hilton to go at once to my j house, surround it and capture the! burglar. 1 wondered that 1 had not thought o!' this plan myself, for It was very simple, and a telephone message from me from the city would be us effective as from my wife In Hilton, j "I called up the police in Hilton' and told tlietn to go at once to my i house, where they would find some-j ? one trying to bote bis way in. The iiitiu at the desk said that burglars didn't really effert entrance in that' way, but he would send some men i right over. "While awaiting the result my wife! telephoned nie that she had located the boring, it was at the door of u -tornt shod which was held closed by an iron hook. I thought that any j burglar who planned to effect an entrance to my house there was a fool.' After unhooking the storm door he would have to opm the door within, which was protect id by an excellent lock. "It was not long I "fore I received word front the police at Hilton. 'We got hint, lie is now in a cell.' "I at once telephoned nty wife that the danger was past, ltut realizing that she had suffered a Htoek, I said tiiat 1 would gt> home on the one o'clock train. "I reached the house about two o'clock and found several of the neighbors attempting to soothe my wife, whose nerves had been terribly strained. While sympathizing with her I received a telephone message from the polio* that their prisoner claimed to he ty wife's brother and 1 desired that 1 come immediately und, Identify him. '"Great heavens! could this be so?" "I answer* d the summons immediately and on reaching the station,' there waiting for me sat Jim Chambers, my brother-iu-luw, true enough. "'What in thunder?' he began. "'What the dickens were you try* Ing to break in??" " 'I laid a key to the side door and I was trying to cut away a bit of wood in order to lift the hook on the stvrm door.' '"You've soured Mollie out of her senses. Why didn't you ring?' "'I thought I could get in without waking her?' "That's the end of the story and the end of a telephone in tuy house.
