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- mending 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 mast e 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 themost unfavorable con- ditions. Romance, adventure, action —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 dozen miles back of the battlefront. To -morrow he may be stringing wires through a shell swept forest. One case will serve to show the lottery -like chance 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 captainwas grieved to hear the next day that this bravelineman;• his work done, had been picked out of a pole top by a stray shell.

A Way to Discover Whether Middle- man is a Real, Necessity. Two dollars and forty cents was the price paid for a bag of potatoes by. a Kingston lady, according to a recent press eeport. One of the potatoes had a card attached signed by the farmer who grew them, which said: "I ,sold at $1; what did you pay?" Here again we are faced with the'ubiquii ous middleman, concerning whose elimination much ink has been shed. Now there are middlemen and middle- men, 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 this 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 "Farm Farm to Family" section 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 'cosumer Ilo wanted to buy from the farmer. Toet the e movement.. started, a half-price rate might be of- fered °and the new departure should he well advertised in the news columns of the paper. 'The advertising manager having the courage to make - this 'enture would gain considerable fame for his paper and Would also prove conclu- sively whether the farmer and the consumer really do want to get rid of the middleman.

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. edition of Sir William Crookes' mono- graph, "The Wheat Problem," which appeared 25 years ago and was evi- dently read understandingly by no one except the Germans. In this little book Sir William pointed out that thepopl,lation of the world was steadily increasing while the area suited to the production of wheat was nearly all developed. There- 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 William Crookes' the- sis wasfirst 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 have 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 fertilizers are made. The greatest' supply of nitrates in the world is found in the Chilean nitrate -of -soda deposits. 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, So, 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 fierce and fatal with murderous desire; And some are mean and craven, re- vengeful, selfish, slow, They . hurt the lean that holds them more than they hurt his foe. And yet there is a- hatred that purifies the heart, The anger of the better against the baser part, Against the, false and wicked, against the tyrant's sword, Against the enemies of love, and all that hate the Lord. 0 cleansing indignation, 0 flame of righteous wrath, Give me a soul to see thee and follow in. thy path! Save me from selfish virtue, arm rile for fearless fight, And give me strength to carry on, a soldier of the Right! —Dr. Henry. Van Dyke. Back Yards and vacant Lots. • Now is the time for organization. There will bea greater' need for pro- duction in cities, towns and villages this summer than ever before. Plan what you will do with the back yard or vacant lot now, so that when the season begins in a few weeks hence, you will know what to do and will lose no precious time about it. Once the garden season starts it starts with a rush. There is no shortageof vege- table seeds except parsnips. Wholesale' dealers have plenty of seeds in stock.

Any drug- gist will sell a tiny bot- tle of freezone; like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops 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 'corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There' is no pain before or after- wards. If your druggist hasr- t freezone, tell him to order a sma11'bot- tle for you from his wholesale drug house. To -morrow May Not Come.
