Col. Roosevelt's greatest'ambi tion,' said Gi'eonway, "is to be hot on the field of battle. "-Sat urday lkvening Post. Nonense! Col. Roosevelt's greatest anobition Is to be a one man war. He wants to be the command ing generals on both sides, stand ink calm and collected I'n front of his tents while the wireless spits out its reports from the front, while the' telephones clat ter and the telegraph clicks his orders to his corps commandersi He wants to be the genaral 3Ystaff of both armies ,scrutinizing the monster maps of the field of operations and shifting the pins that mdrk the positions of the opposing forces. He wants to be the trusty scouts dashing up breathless " from the firing-line. . He wants to be the roar of the artillery, the rattle of the .small arms and the flashing detona tions of the smokeless powder. He wants to be the last des perate charge upon the batteries, sabering himself at the guns. He wants to be the rear guard that bravely covers the retreat, and the smashing attack of the reserves which turns defeat into rout. He wants to be the dead and dying on the field of battle, who have yielded up their lives as a last sacrifice to their beloved countries. He wants to be the dust-sta in eI. corre0ip d ting his o heroisn. An wor s that will never perish. He wants to be the commission that negotiates peace with lion or, and, lastly, he wants to be the grand review at the close of the war, standing silently in front of the flag-draped stand, saluting himself as he marches past and pinning medals of honor to his dauntless breast.

One of the ministers of tih city, in his sermons during the past few weeks, has 'severa times stressed the importance of giving one's best services to God The idea is a striking one, Many people seem to believe that half-way service in re ligious matters will be suffi cient. But can one afford to give less than one's best service in anything? Does not the obligation rest upon us to do the very best that we can, in whatever task that we may he engaged? Surely the answer must b( yes. But. how many of mi do It? is not the tend~enlcy with most of us to the least that we ma y to get off with just as littk work as possible. Is this right? Is it goo( policy?' Is- it not right to do one's best at all times and in all things And is it not good policy am wvell? D oes not the miani who give goodl service get along bettei than the one who gives pooi service? The good man is al ways In demand, and he car demandl his price, while th< man who gives poor service ih never accepted1 save as at lasi resort. This is a matter that is worti thinking about. One shouk give one's b~est service. I t is th< right thing to do, and it pays te do it.-Anderson Mail. Secret Order Meetings. Masonc-A. F. & A.

Cow peas and soy beans are now selling at $2.50 per bushel for the preferred varieties. By the use of a little brain power, along with improved imple meuts, there is more profit in growing these crops than any at this time, besides these crops always inprove the land. Use a combined one-horse grain planter with fertilizer attach ment, and plant one. row beans or peas between rows of corn. When the corn is near bunching for the tassle is about the right time to plant the unknown pea. Put in about 150 pounds acid phosphate to the acre when planting; stride the peas once or twice with spring tooth harrow or double foot cultivator run ning shallow. This late shal low plowing will help corn and the legume crop of grain will be almost clear profit. The same machine above mentioned with small plows on will also plant stubble land in peas at one fourth the cost of single plow svork. Use miore brain power in all farm wotlk by instituting improved methods and l)etter ilhplemlients. Prepare a nice piece of land after small grain and plant po. tato vines cut from first settings. These vine settings not onhv make the smoothest potatoes but it also dodges thie diseases t( potatoes, by using the vine am planting and banking on land not infested with these destruc tive diseases. SIDE APPLICATION OF FERTILIZER To corn or cotton when plant are about half grown: Apply nitrate of soda to corn wher plants begin to bunch for tassel ing; to cottton when beginning to put on form. When nitrat( is applied later, the tendency IF to make late crop of fruit tha' loesn't nature by frost. Whet possible, always stir the fertil izers in the soil, when the moist ure will dissolve the plant foot at once. P'OULTRtY. inbreeding andl verminin caust a loss of over half7 the stock eacl season.

(OTI'(N MILL. MimOER sCARE. U p-to-dlate~ Farmers' Ujnior men see no good in gr'owling about. "re-finanicing"' and th( r'ecent hig 'merging"' of th< mills. It is a plain fact thai many of the mills are in a bat way, and if they don't "re finance'' and1 "mer'ge" some they will be submrerged1 and g< uinder' where cotton gro()wer' were when cotton wvas five cents before the Union went into busi ness. Our mill men are goo< fellowv competitors wvith cotto] growers for profit out of cotton L These mill men are smart bus15 ness fellows, and are wvorkin d' not to injure the farmer but t I take care of their own interest, and all cotton growers have to do to protect their Interest is to copy some of these mill inove ments by "re-financing" the Farmers' Union and then "merge" some, too. Cotton growers can't get along without the mills, nor mills can't do business without a profit be tween the cotton grower and the users of cotton goods. These mill men are hemmed in between high-priced cotton and low-priced goods, and they have their backs bowed up and in for kicking and hitting. too. The price of goods will have to go up and cotton will go down. If the cotton grower holds to what he has gained, he will have to roll up his sleeves, get into the Farmers' Union again-strong -and "re-finance" the Union, and merge the whole family into the Union and make the cat jump away from the farm er. The Farmers' Union must get some strong men in the field for this suimmer's campaign and "'re-finance" the Union and talk for "merging" the whole farm.. ing family into the Union, and hold fast to What we have. It should be miuch the easier job to hold prices at 15 cents p3r pound than it was to fight from 5c up to 15c per 1.ound. The progressive Farmers' U nion fieri now know that we can grow the same number of bales of cotton to the farm on one. third less acres and plant at least one-third in grain and for age crops. We should "merge" the boys into Hog and Hominy 3 Clubs and the women into Fry - ing Chicken Clubs. The Old-Time Villain. I have read a million stories published during recent years, and I haven't seen a villain worth a tinklr's ribald jeers. He's a milk-and-water villain, is the modern, cheap john knaye; you'd mistake him for the hero if he had a oath and shave. I am yearning for the villain of the olden, golden time, who would tighten his suspend ers and go wadilg decC in crime. H1e would murder folks for venlgeanice, he would slaugh ter' themi for cash, andl his eyes shot baleful glances, and lhe had ai black mustache. lHe wvas modeledl after M~anfredl,on whomn 1Hyron placed I. wreiathi, and when1 nothing (lse was doing he' was gnasl'ing of his teeth, anid he uttered hitter curses, and he mioved around in gloom, and he keopt the hearses busy hauling people to the tonmb. ie would stick{ you with his dlagger, he wvouldl brain you with his staff, and he always did his nourders with a loud and mirthless laugh. For a time theO villain triumphed, as a villain always should, and he seenmed to have a toe-hold on the hero, truly good; but the good 01(-fashioned novel al ways illindinin etrution from a cup. 0, the goodl 01(1 swarthy villain of the good old1 breezy days! lHe and1 all his gifted authois long ago have gone their ways.-Walt Mason.
