FRIDAY EVENING, T : ' > HXRRISBURG ffijftt TELEORXPB MARCH 9, 1917. DEEP CROPS ARE GOOD FOR SOU Conditioning the Subsoil For Aiding in Vigorous Growth Little attention is given to the sub ject of the subsoil in both popular in struction and in bulletin literature for the farmer. There is little informa- A tion afloat as to how it may influence 9 a crop for good or ill, and it pract:- i rally never occurs to the farmer bow that which is beyond the reach of the plow may bo mellowed and how a crop may bo benefited by doing yc. Yet there is most practical and well attested experience on this very sub ject, if one only reflects on this ex perience, beyond the results of the immediate crop with which it has been made. Alfalfa is known to thrive best with plentiful liming, and beside great pro ductivity its other advantage is us übil'ty to withstand drought. Why is this? It. is the nature of alfalfa to push do.wn its roots with great vigor, l'ar into the subsoil, if this is mellow enough to allow it. A good stand of alfalfa ts alone obtained if it can root very deeply. This enables it to got at the ground water, which is always available, even in the driest season, for plants that can reach it. It is the distinct function of lime that it mellows and crumbs earth, and j it is characteristic of its action that ■ it constantly works downward. Mellow- I ing the subsoil, in its downward pro gress, makes for the life of alfalfa,' whose, roots must push into it. But a mellowed earth docs not only otter ] less resistance to root penetration. It j offers less obstruction to the rise of ground water. Crops whose roots j never or scarcely reach the subsoil, still push their roots deeper, due <o| the improved rise of ground wlter i through it, when it is well mellowed by occasional heavy winter liming. More Suffrage Victories Causes Jublation in Ranks of Pa. Boosters Pennsylvania suffragists are jubilant over victories recorded for their- cause in the last few days. Successes in clude the granting of primary elec tion franchise for the women of Ar kansas and the enfranchisement of the women in the Province of On tario, Canada. The Arkansas partial suffrage bill was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 54 to 27. last Tuesday, and has been signed by Governor Brough. The bill em powers women to vote at party pri maries. Proponents of the bill say this is virtually full suffrage, as nom inations in Arkansas at the primaries always mean election. The enfranchising of the women of Ontario leaves practically only one large province, Quebec, in Canada where women do not vote. Suffragists of the State and of the national suffrage organization also are elated by the telegram of President Wilson to Speaker W. R. Crabtrec of 1 the Tennessee State Senate, expressing his hope that that body will reconsider its action in rejecting legislation ex tended to women. In reply to a mes sage from Speaker Crabtree asking for an expression on the situation in Tennessee, President Wilson in his answer stated "that since the measure is one of the party pledges, the moral obligation is complete." President Wilson's telegram follows: White House. "Hon W. R. Crabtree, Speaker of the .itate Senate, Nashville: May I ex press my earnest hope that the Senate of Tennessee will reconsider the vote by which it rejected the legislation extending the suffrage to women. Our party is so distinctly pledged to its passage that it seems to me the moral obligation is complete. "WOODROW WILSON." Fear of Lock-Up Sentence Keeps Malefactors Sober West Fail-view, Pa., March 9. Fearful lest their name become a by word for posterity, malefactors arc taking unusual pains to stay out of the local lockup, installed two months ago. This unusual wave of good be havior follows an announcement by Constable Albert J. Shaull, that the "coop" would be named after the first person committed to serve a term. Constable Shaull said to-day that he has not been troubled with inebriates at all hours of the night since the in stallation of the lockup, as had been the case heretofore. Many tramps and some residents were often the cause of street-corner arguments when under the influence of liquor. A call for the chief of police would necessitate a trip by automobile to the county jail at Carlisle. A sentence in jail did not make an impression on their behavior and besides put the borough to a great expense. The lockup has been installed in the tire house at the cost of several hundred dollars.

HAVE YOU EVER MET YOURSELF Problem Is to Solve the Per-! sonal Equation by Inside | Study By BEATRICE FAIRFAX How much do you know about the person with whom you will have to spend all the rest of your life—your |self? Do you understand yotrr own am bitions, desires and tendencies? Do you know what you are likely to do under given circumstances—how you will react to sudden danger, what pri vation and struggle would do to you, or how you would conduct yourself If you achieve sudden and stupendous success? You probably know nothing about any of these things, and yet they ought to be one of your most vital concerns. I am not recommending that you become a self-centered Individual, given to introspection and to con stant brooding over your own nature. I am recommending just the opposite. Solve your "personal equation" and then use your knowledge quietly and unobstruslvely. Suppose a merchant were to try to run his store without discovering what his public demanded, which goods needed display to sell and which were staples to be asked for by the public: suppose ho hired salespeople regardless of their tltness and trusted customers without any knowledge of their honesty or solvency. Suppose, even, he rented a store without stopping to investigate the desirability of the location he had chosen—you wouldn't expect him to be a very successful merchant, would you? Now, just why people expect to manage their own complex natures without any knowledge of their stock, minus information as to the effect they have on the world and the world has on them. Is a real puzzle to any one who has common Bense or efficiency. When you have a problem In al gebra to solve, you solve It' and cease lying awake nights to worry about It. But the biggest problem you will ever have to solve —the problem of your own nature —Is one you either neglect with utter Indifference or go into quite casually. It won't do! After all. In the words of the Belgian philosopher, Maeterlinck, "None but yourself shall you meet on the highway of fate." No one but you can pay for your blunders, no one but you can reap the benefit of your success. Those who love you may share—but what they are sharing Is the worldly benefit—not the soul satisfaction or the keen disappoint ment and disillusionment. You yourself lie at the root of every act you ueri'orm and every thought you think. Circumstances may warp and twist you; stern necessity may force you to an alien expression at times, but your reward or punishnjrent is yours and is paid in person. Blame whomsoever you like for your failures, thank whomsoever you choose for your successes —they still ace yours. Someone of prestige and import ance may take an interest in you and give you a start in the world. He can wind you up and stand you on your foet like a mechanical doll—but he cannot keep you going! You have to be you when you meet your oppor tunity and you can use nothing that does not lie in your own nature. You cannot stand before an audi ence in a great opera house and sing with somebody else's voice. The voice with which you sing is a God-given gift coming from a throat built a cer tain way, reinforced by a certain typ< of body and cultivated by a spirit thai was willing to work and strive. Chance does not make you. You make yourself. And If you want to gel out of the $8 a week class into th SBO a week class you will have to do it with the qualities which lie In youi own nature. Study your possibilities— In knowing them lies your one chanci for real success.
