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.
