Fnlton County Soils.
As we told our readers last
week, bulletin No. 250 of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural D e
partment gives a statement o f
the origin and the capacity of
the soil of the State, treating the
matter by townships. It is the
purpose of the News to "boil
down" the 500 pages to simple
little talks like what follows. Ma
ny of our readers know more
about these subjects than we do;
but we must ask them to remem
ber that a younger generation is
about to take our places, and
many of them are just where we
once were, namely, "didn't know
it"
For the sake of simplicity, we
will divide the soils of the Coun
ty into two kinds, under names
best understood by a majority of
people (ourselves included) so we
will treat them as slate soils and
limestone soils. Geologists divide
the former into many clasifica-
tions such as Chemung shales,
Portage flags, Clinton shales,
and a lot more kinds that, for the
purpose of this article, are mean
ingless. Strictly speaking, Ful
ton county slate land is not
"slate;" but it goes by that name
and we will not attempt to argue
the point It is to the great bod
ies of these slate and shales that
we will devote what we have to
say. Lvery one know3 that
where the surface i3 composed of
these soils, it is more or less hilly
The treatment of them for the
purpose of keeping them in good
physical condition is much the
same in all cases. These soils as
found in our county are, in the
main, lacking in humus, that is,
are lacking in decayed vegetable
matter, also called organic mat
ter. The presence of large quan
tities of rotted material is abso
lutely necessary in order that
these soils may hold moisture.
The power to hold moisture is
derived largely by the presence
of decayed particles that draw
moisture from below the part
turned by the plow. All know
that water "soaks" into some
substances more readily than in
to others,' and since soil without
organic matter in it is almost
pure stone, we can readily see
why such soil dries out soon be
cause water does not readily pene
trate stone. With the exception
of steep hillsides where the sur
face should seldom be broken,
Fulton county "slates" can be
made to hold sufficient moisture
to successfully grow any of the
crops popular in this part of the
State. We see results of lack of
humus by many disappointments
when "clearings" are planted,
because repeated forest fires have
passed over them and almost all
of the organic matter was literal
ly burned away to the depth us
ually turned by a plow. The
lack of organic matter net only
permits the drying out of soil,
but it makes the land "poor" be
cause a large part of the plant
food is either furnished directly
by the decayed matter, or, the
process of decaying liberates and
prepares native soil elements that
go to make stalk, and seed.
Since no farm produces a suffi
cient quantity of stable manure
to be ploughed down to restore
humus, some other means must
be found to finish out the requir
ed quantity. This is accomplished
by not permitting all of the grass
to be taken off for hay, or to be
cropped off by stock. Heavy
sods are even better than ma
nure. For tK is reason, soil ex
perts everywhere are doing all
they can to preach the gospel of
grass. Every pound of manure,
lime, and commercial fertilizer
should be used at a time, andun
der conditions, that will result in
heavy sods. Get the sods and
you will get the other crops
everybody knows that but few
practice it Why? Because
greed gets the better of judg'
ment and the land is cropped and
robbed until almost valueless for
cultivation.
Living On Other People's Money.
How many people in this com
munity are living on their own
money?
If the question were put to each
person individually he unques
tionably would answer that he is
living on his own funds. And he
doubtless would be entirely sin
cere in his statement
But are we really living on our
own money?
Let's dig down under the sur
face and see what we find.
For the sake of argument we
will assume that you are running
an account with the grocer, and
the butcher, and possibly other
merchants.
You pay, of course, but per
haps you make settlement only
every sixty or ninety days. Some
even pay their bills only twice a
year.
Now, was it your money that
paid the wholesaler for the goods
you are using and for which you
have not paid, or was it the mer
chant's? And if it were the merchant's,
and you have not paid him, is it
your money you are living on un
til settlement day, or is it his?
We contend that fully one-half
the people are living from day
to day on other people's money,
and by doing so they are them
selves contributing to the present
high cost of living.
New control your rising anger
for a moment, and we will hum
bly endeavor to show you why
you are keeping prices up.
The average mercantile stock
costs several thousands of dollars
and it must be paid for in cash or
the merchant must obtain a line
of credit from the wholesaler.
And when he buys his goods on
credit he pays a higher price for
them.
In turn you buy your goods
from the merchant on credit and
he in self-defense must add still
an additional "Safety" profit In
other words, h e must charge
more than a cash price in order
to protect himself from the cer
tainty of loss consequent upon
slow collections, bad debts and
other annoyances.
Thus two "Safety" profits are
added t o the original selling
prices of the article.
Do you see how it works how
the price is boosted?
I f every customer paid spot
cash for his goods the merchant
in turn could do the same with
the wholesaler, thereby securing
from the latter a discount for
cash of probably 7 Ho 10 per cent
And then the merchant himself
would 'not be required to add the
Safety" profit to h i s goods
which would mean another sub
stantial reduction in the price of
the article, and all because of the
simple expediency o f handing
the cash over the counter.
Now doesn't it look as though
the practice of living on other
people's money is costing us con
siderably more than we are just
ified in paying for such a doubt
ful privilege?
It might require some slight
inconvenience and a little tempo
rary retrenchment in order to
changeover to a cash system;
but if a merchant made you a
flat offer of a fifteen or twenty
per cent discount for cash YOU
WOULD JUMP AT THE OPPORTU
NITY. Doesn't it appear to be to the
advantage of everybody in this
community to wipe out the bane
ful credit system and buy and
sell for cash?
It certainly looks that way to
us. How does it appear to you?J
What Is the Use f
What use is there for the li
quor people to fight the tide any
longer? The tide of public senti
ment is against the maunfacture
and sale of intoxicants. First it
was moral sentiment that set up
a fight against it. Now, it is
jointly the moral and the busi
ness sentiment that are rolling
great billows of defiance at it
Railroads will no longer employ
men who frequent saloons, wheth
er they drink or not Within the
past few months several million
factory workmen have been given
the choice of becoming total ab
stainers or quitting their jobs.
Southern states voted it out in
order that the troublesome ne
groes might be denied the oppor
tunity to get the stuff that made
dangerous brutes of them. West
Virginia voted it our in order to
get rid of the chronic disorder
among the coal miners. And
now the Lackawanna and Luzer
ne coal companies will go into
the license courts of their re
spective counties and ask for
strict regulation of the saloons in
their districts. They have dis
covered that the open saloon is
the greatest barrier to the pro
tection of the lives of the miners
and "that any movement for
'Safety first' which ignores the
grog shop is a farce."
Auto for Fiftj Cents.
Some time ago a candy sales
man representing the wholesale
house of P. G. King, Waynes
boro, called on Watson Lynch,
grocer on east Lincoln Way, and
after booking a nice order, in
formed Watson that he was
chancing off a Maxwell Runabout
and asked Watson to try his luck.
Without a thought of anything
more than accommodating his
friend he blew in fifty cents and
dismissed the matter from his
mind. Tuesday morning he was
called up on the phone and told
that the drawing had taken place
ond that he was the "luckyGuy."
THOSE LONG WAITS.
"Don't you remember me, slrf
Bkcd the caller, addressing the man
at the office desk who was poring over
the market report In a dally paper.
"Remember you?" queried the man
addressed, peering at the caller over
the top of his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Yes, sir; don't you remember your
old waiter at the chop house? Why,
I recall the last order you gave me
porterhouse steak, French fried po
tatoes "
"Oh, yes, I remember you now," said
the man, dreamily, rubbing his hand
over his forehead, "Is the meal ready
yet?"
Another Matter.
"Those two men over there seem to
be having a heated argument. I Just
now beard one say something about
'that vile weed.' I'll bet he's a fool
reformer abusing tobacco."
"You do blra a great Injustice. Tboso
two chaps are merely discussing the
merits and demerits of the dandelion."

"What do you call your bulldox?"
the visitor asked the farmer.

HELLO, FRISCO
Successful Communication Opened
Across tho Continent
The Dream of Forty Years Realized
NEW YORK, January 25. The com
pletion of the long distance telephon
line between New York and Sun Fran
cInco wua celebrated to-day. First, this
city had speech with her California
neighbor 3,400 miles away. Then th
wires thnt swing southward from New
York brought Washington and Sun Fran'.
Cisco Into teluphonlc touch. On down
the coast to little Jekyll Island .opposite
Georgia, they carried the Oolden date's
greeting.
At the White House President Wilson
spoke Into the mouthpiece of his tele
phone and his voice was whirled acroBi
thirteen Stutei to the shores of the
l'aoinc.
Hut on a day when long distance tele
phone records were smashing up th
country over. It was the talk between
Han Francisco and Jekyll Island that had
the honor of breaking every world's rec
ord for long distance transmission. Presi
dent Theodore N. Vail of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company li
spending the winter nn Jokyll Island and
when he spoke to Ban Francisco till
voice had to travel 1.000 mllea up th
Atluntlc'aeabourd to New York before it
started on Its trans-conttnentul journey.
When It sounded In the receiver at San
Frunclsco It had gone 4.400 miles in all.
At the center of these telephonic do
ings, where the wires of the North and
Houth met those of the distant West, Id
President Vall's ofllce at 15 Dey Street,
was Alexander Graham Bell, who in
vented the telephone forty years ago.
Mayor Mltchel and other city officials,
scientists and engineers and telephone
pioneers, and other distinguished men
gathered round Dr. Hell as he strode
Into the room on the top floor of the
telephone company's building. On a
table at one end of the big office was a
replica of the first telephone transmitter
to carry the human voice. It looked to
be a crude enough affair. Tlu down s
drum-head over a wooden receiver, Join
the center of the drum-head to the free
end of a receiver spring, arrange a
mouthpiece over the drum -head and
there you have It Hut forty years ago
when that crude affulr was first shown
by Bell at the Philadelphia Centennial
the Emperor of Brusll backed away from
It In amazement, crying: "My God, it
talks." And to-day, because of what the
engineers have done. Dr. Bell was to send
his voice through it across the conti
nent. There was further reminder of the
telephone's babyhood in a coll of wire
connected with the transmitter. This
was part of the original wire over which
Dr. Bell spoke the first words ever nt
tered by telephone, in his boarding house
nt 0 i-.xeter I'lace. Boston. On March 10,
1870, Bell hnd called to Thomas A. Wat
son, his. ussoclate, standing at a re
ceiver In another room, and Watson,
brekthless with excitement, heard his
voire on the wire. That wire was pre
s&rvcd umUr glass, and now after two
score years. It was part of the first
trans-continental line.
One of the first to greet Dr. BeH as
he entered was John Joseph Carty,
Chler Kngineer of the American Tele
phone & Telegraph Company, undot
whose direction the trans-continental
line was built. To-day was not Mr.
Carty's first In the making of telephone
history. Ho has been doing it ever since
Dr. Bell gave the membrane transmitter
to a group of his friends and left it to
them to make It a universal household
servant. Mr. Carty Is the organlxer of
what might be called the first telephone
university, and under his direction the
art of telephony wan developed. There
were those In President Vall's office who
could remember the time when there
were only three telephone engineers In
the world. To-dny Mr. Carty heads more
than Clio engineers.
Mr. Carty escorted Dr. Bell to the
strange looking transmitter and Its In
ventor pressed his Hps to the mouth
piece.
"Ahoy! Ahoyl Can you hear me?"
asked Dr. Bell, and Instantly there was
a murmur In the receiver audible to
everyone In the room. Out In San Fran
Cisco in the offices of the Paclflo Tele
phone Telegrph Company, Thomas A.
Watson had heard the voice of his old
time associate signalling in the manner
they had employed in their earliest ex
periments, and had answered: "I can
hear perfectly."
It was four o'clock when Dr. Bell sent
his ."ahoy" across the continent and
ore of the first of the guests to speak
after him asked the time in San Fran
cisco. Everyone looked at their watch
aa, the answer came bnck: "One o'clock."
This started a flurry of figuring. Those
who know sound waves and the rate
they travel said that it would take four
hours for a man's voice unaided, granted
the possibility of such titanic lungs.
to travel to San Francisco through the
air. On the wires it takes less than
one-flfteenth of a second. Electricity
was driving Dr. Bell's "ahoy" at the
rate of 5n,o0 miles per second. Sound,
unabetted, limps along In comparison,
making only 1,100 feet per second.
So If there wns pride in the faces of
the engineers who clustered round Dr.
Bell as he talked to "Friend Watson''
to-day there was some reason therefor.
t'p to now the longest telephone line in
the world was between New York and
Denver, but Mr. Carty and his young
men have gone their previous record
1,300 miles better, and once again they
have given to this country the longest
line In the world. From Boston to
Providence, back In the eighties, from
New York to BoBton, and then to Chi
cago in 1802, and finally from New York
to Denver and on to the coast, the en
gineers have coaxed copper wires into
carrying the human voice.
The work of constructing the trans
continental line took two years, but the
history of the work of making the poles
and wires, set and strung by the con
struction crews who do their duty runs
back over the space of many years. It
brings you Into experiment stations
and testing rooms and laboratories. It
covers Innumerable experiments and Im
provements. Every step forward In the
development of telephony has been over
gigantic scrap heap. Bell's original
transmitter has seventy-three descend
ants. Fifty-three types and styles of
transmitters have been Introduced since
1877. Within ten years the Bell System
Ipent for construction and reconstruc
tion an amount more than equal to the
present book value of the 'entire plant
And what Is true of transmitters and
receivers Is even truer of oil that lies
between the terminals of the ' trans
continental line, for It Is in this field
that the engineers had their real prob
lems. To nil In the gap between Denver
and the coast with wires and poles was
comparatively simple. The task they
confronted was to begin at New York
and working all along the line, make the
multitudinous Improvements necessary
for a 3,41)0 mile talk. Transmitters,
switchboards, metallio circuits, hard
drawn copper wire and loading coils all
had to be attuned to the trans-continental
keynote. There's a hint of the real
achievement celebrated yesterday In what
the engineers did with the loading coll.

The line Is still In the hands of
