( r edited in this paper, and aleo -~e t> puhliahed therein. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27, 1922. The world's primary need is mor. I n^enet anon. Other needs, many u. them, are easily discovered, but no :eed is so great, so fundamental as is the need for moral regeneration Indeed, all other needs are directly 01 indirectly rooted in this. If people, all people, would do that which i; right, the thousand and one things that are out of joint would speedilj rectify themselves. Mercy in the heart of man and rigrteousness anions the nations would do more to rid tht world of its woes than all other agencies combined. The nations appeal ti might, not right, to settle their difficulties. And. the trouble about the set tlement under the rule of might is that such settlement will not endure It appears that there is to be n. "scrapping" of navies, not so that yoi could tell it. Some obsolete vessels are to be cast upon the junk heap, bul no vessels that are worth anything ir war are to be discarded?not for th? present, at least. The United States England, France, Italy and Japan for the present, will go slow in th. matter of discarding navy ships Quite right, too, with Turkey an' Russia coming back and showing th< spirit of battle. In fact, the wholdisarmament plan is more or less o" hypocrisy and sham. In the ne\i great war there is to i>e a very irferior part played by the big battle ships. The great sea monsters wn be meat for bombs dropped from th' air and for torpedoes sent from und"i the sea. Everybody knows this That's why it amounts to little tha( a few ships 'now obsolete, are to b? sent to the dump pile.

Operations have been endured pluckily, but without permanent success. Nearly all the cases are those of fracture of some kind or another, and a large staff of surgeons and nurses is kept busy. Many of the present patients have been at work but they returned to the hospital for attention because pieces of shrapnel turned up in various parts of their bodies, and these have to be removed lest they cause trouble in another limb. Yellow was the popular color foi wedding gowns in ancient Rome. Soil Building Th# soil is a "farmer's bank" and if he takes oat of It mors fortuity each year in growing his crop than ho rut back into -it, it i* just liko drawing on his bank account?it Will soon uet where his checks will be turned down for lack of funds. So your farm will refuse to grow a paying crop. One of the greatest objects a farmer should have in view is to build up his soil and make it more fertile each year. And this can he done in no other way than by di ersification, rotation of crops and k> aiversification, rotation of crops and by sowing leguminous crops, such as I eas, velvet beans, burr clover, crimson clover or vetch. In the next 30 lays either burr clover, crimson clover or vetch should be sowed. Laud cannot be made rich hy hauling guano to the farm and putting it on the land, If this could have been done, thU country would have been a rich, ferile country. Any farmer in this country can so farm his land as to ' make a living on it pay his taxes :>nd make his farm double or even > treble its production in six years by . using the proper methods of acricul tre and there is nothing that will pay him a greater profit thaun to adop^ these methods. Working poor land is > cry expensive. I know most of tht i !and is too poor to grow a legminous , crop and the land has to be inoculated r before it will grow them, and seeds nro expensive but I want to suggest a ! sure and simple method so any farmer ' will be able to start these leguminous , crops to growing on his farm. They lecommend about 15 to 20 pounds of crimson clover to be sowed to the acre and 18 to 20 pounds of vetch ' sowed broadcast and I have known a great many who failed tb get a stand. 5 These seed cost this year about 20 cents per pound and there are a great many farmers who haven't $5.00 to ) put out on seeds for one acre. Now, I want to suggest a little practical 1 and cheap way that any farmer can 5 use to get these crops growing on his t farm. I have tried these methods to i get my land inoculated and I know , hey will do it. These erops should be sowed within ' the next 30 days or they can be sown at once in your com fields or cotton : fields. Take a short gjopher plow and run a shallow furrow in the midj die, then fasten a small chain about five feet long to the foot of the plow. i Get a small cedar limb about 1% feet - long ana iasten to the other end of f the chain?let it drag in the furrow i to cover the seed so that the inocula. tion bacteria will not get killed by the sun. You will have to drop theseseed through a guano funnel. Walk I just behind the man who opens the * follow and drop the seed and the , bush vrtll come along in the furrow ond cover the seed. By this method, ^ three pounds of seed will be enough ' to sow an acre of corn land and 6*6 1 pounds enough to sow cotton land with row three feet wide. You can !# buy inoculation through this office for 50 cents per acre for less than five acres, over five acres the price is 40 cents per acre. I prefer vetch to either of the clovers and it is much easier to get a stand. As stated above, most of the land is too poor to grow leguminous crops. This is true, but by this method, vetch sown in row in January can be fertilized with 60 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre, and the vetch will run all over the land and will make a fine growth and then your land will be inoculated for all time to come. If you plant this same land in com, plant in the vetch rows and see "how much better corn you make than where you did not plant the vetch, tl will be equal to 250 ! pounds of fertilizer to the acre. You can build your soils to a higner state of cultivation under no other system and under boll weevil conditions voil onnnot- nffnrH to him crnann Grow your soils rich and you farmers will bo prosperous. Feed your soil with vegetable matter and humus and :t will feed you. B. Harris, Commissioner. r Mail Slot or Receptacle Required k For those who are without receptacles of some kind to receive their mail, I wish to say we have been instructed by the department that some way of receiving mail must be provided. I give for publication the following: i Washington, Aug. 26, 1022. My Dear Postmaster: On account of the delay caused to > carriers at dwelling houses where , no door slot or mail recptaele is provided and the fact that a large majority of dwellings are thus equipped olroo/1 it if OAAmo fivmolw ?UViw a Itliv-auj, IV DCV Alio Vllllvl^ f TVIVIIIII CA reasonable period, to require all who I are to receive mail by street carriers at their dwellings to provide such ac, commodations, the expense of the , same being small. Postmasters are [ therefore thus instructed. The length . of notice should not exceed four ( months, although there may be ex' epMonal cases where postmasters I should use reasonable discretion or . ask for instruction, s It is not the department's desire, of course, that any shall be deprived I of delivery by this requirement, but , rather it is earnestly hoped that all will see the reasonableness of it and . its advantage to themselves as well I as to the carriers. But if it finally . No"omes necessary mail delivery will | be discontinued where no door alota . fnrefer^bly) or mail receptacles are provided. Respectfully yours, John B. Bartlett.

Irtifidtljjr GflowU S JtpMMM PmtU Defy Expert Detection Paris, Sept. 86.?Owners in Paris ? at valuable strings of pearls have been thrown into something like consternation by the published opinion 1 of Dr. Louis Boutan, professor of science at the Tniversity of Bordeaux and an expert in pearls^ t^at he and other pearl experts are unable to 1 distinguish between real pearls and those artificially grown by the Japanese. tfie statement of Dr. Boutan made at the French Academy of ScietKeSr aejaosras the last hope concerning Japanese pearls, which h%ve ^ been grows in quantity since M. Mikimoto, the Japanese scientist made his discovers Pearls normallv are grown by accident, through a fine I grain of sandentering the shell of the oyster, lue white substance, called a pearl, grows inside the oys- . ter and is a secretion caused by the ] effort of the shellfish to get rid of the foreign substance. Mikiraoto conceived the idea of opening oysters and insecMpg the foreign substance, or grain of sand, that formerly came there accidentally. Since Japanese began to grow J pearls artificially, there has been much discussion as to whether these new pearls would affect the value of the accidentally grown pearls. The only difference would appear to , be in the pearl seed, or grain of sand, and now it is claimed by Dr. Boutan that even this difference cannot be detected. The statement of Dr. Boutan is j categoric: "If I did not have a certificate of origin when sections of pearls were shown me, pearls cut into sections for testing purposes, I would not be able to say which pearl is artificial'. - / nm For Hogs? to Sweeten Swill ?dissolve 1 tablespoonful of RedjDevil Lye in a pint of watt*, then add this solution to tfeb slop or soft feed for 10 ham Or dissolve % of a can in' ai quart of water, and add to, O barrel of slop.
