Romance, Adventure and Action in In no war in the past have the elec- tric signaling systems covered so many square miles or such a great di- versity of requirements. The com- manding general wants to know how a certain division is progressing; an artillery captain wants to ascertain Just where his shells are dropping; these and a million other facts must be transmitted every hour of the day along the hundreds of miles of battlefront, says the Electrical Ex- perimenter. And it is really marvel- ous how the army signal corps have perfected their frail-looking wires and instruments so that they will work under the most unfjrv-orable con- ditions. Romance, adventure, action â€" all of these come to the signal corps man in the pursuit of his duties more than ever before. To-day he may in- stall a telephone switchboard in a cheerful little town near grand head- quarters, situated a do:;en mile.-; back of the battlefront. To-morrow he may be stringing wires through a sholl- swept forest. One case will serve to show the lottery-like chr.nce these men take. An English military line- man had been busy for several weeks in a district near the Aisne battle- front. He had completed straighten- ing out a perfect jungle of wires and circuits. His captain came along and was pleased to learn that all of the circuits had been tested out without losing a man. The same captain was grieved to hear the next day that this brave lineman, his work done, had beenTJicked out of a pole top by a stray shell. .J The poultry business comes about as near to furnishing an all-the-year income as any branch of farming. English and French scientists are giving much attention to the problem of nitrogen and its relation to crop production. The British Government is reported as about to put out an 1 edition of Sir WHliam Crookes' mono- <f graph, "The Wheat Problem," which I appeared 2.5 years ago and was evi- dently read unlerstandingly by no one except t.ie Germans. | In this little book Sir Williim pointed oat that the population of the world was steadily increasing while the area suited to the production of , wheat was nearly all developed. There- i fore it became a mere mathematical ; calculation to determine just how long | it would be before the human race would begin to be hungry for wheat. But since Sir WiUiam Crookes" the- sis was first published a second factor has entered into the problem. Millions of men who used to be engaged in the cultivation of the soil have gone to war and by the use of explosives have been for the past three years liberat- ing at an almost incredible rate the supplies of nitrogen which in a sane and normal order should h^ive gone to enrich the soil. Thus the human race is hurrying itself on toward starvation by two direct methods. It is not cultivating foodstuffs and it is destroying the chief element of which fertilisers are made. The greatest supply of nitrates in the world is found in the Chilean Err;EME renew.s Torrn. Former EmpreiiK RevireH lotereat in People and ETents.

But these are not inexhaustible and the war has been drawing upon them for explo- sives at the rate of nearly 3,000.000 tons per year. Germany long ago foresaw the dan- ger and developed facilities for fixing the free nitrogen of which the at- mosphere is partly composed. The method employed requires enormous mechanical power, such as is repre- sented by swift-running streams or great waterfalls. 'Bo. when the war put an end to Germany's commerce, that country was not wholly depend- ent upon nitrogen imported from for- eign countries. Righteous Wrath. There are many kinds of hate, as many kinds of fire; And some are tierce and fatal with murderous desire; And some are mean and craven, re- vengeful, selfish, slow. They hurt- the man that holds them more than thev hurt his foe. A Cincinnati man dis- cov-^rcd this ether com- pound a.".d named it freczone . Any drug- gist will sell a tiny bot- tle of freezont, like here showTi, for very kittle cost. dropi directly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then short- ly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonder- ful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the com or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as paim'ul calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or after- wards. If your druggist hasr': freezone. tell him to order a small bot- tle for you from his wholesale drug hc^se . - ^ â€" ' To-morrow May Not Come.

A Way to Discover Whether Middle- man is a Keal Necessity, Two dollars and forty cents was the price paid for a bag of potatoes by a Kingston lady, according to a recent press report. One of the potatoes had a card attached signed bj- the farmer who grew them, which said: "I sold at $1; what did you pay?" Here again we are faced with the ubiquit- ous middleman, concerning whose elimination much ink has been shed. Now there are middlemen and middle- n\en, which is to say that some mid- dlemen are necessary and some are not, and the best, way to find out whe- ther a given middleman is necessary or not is to try to get along without him. The farmer and the city household- er are generally supposed to be the worst victims of the middlemen and, if the victimizing can be lessened in tin.*; case, there should be some hope in others. Here is a" suggestion look- ing toward the accomplishment of that end. Let the newspapers in the larger centres of population feature a "Farm to Family" .Election in their condensed want ad. page. This would carry advertisements of farmers who had produce to sell to the city con- sumer and also advertisements of the consumer who wanted to buy from the farmer. To get the movement started, a half-price rate might he of- fered and the new departure should be well advertised in the news columns of the paper. The advertising manager having the courage to make thi.s venture would gain considerable fame for his paper and would also prove conclu- sively vshether the farmer «nd the consumer really do want to get rid of the Middleman . And yet there is a hatred that purifies the heart. | The anger of the better against the Hew to baser part, ! -Against the false and wicked, against , the tyrant's sword, .\gain.«t the eriemies of love, and all that hate the Lord.
