Capital and undivided profits :. ;, $140,000 Forest Fires Harm Soil Fertility. A definite relation between the amount of humus, or vegetable mat ter in the soil, and its crop-producing power as shown by yields or corn, is given in figures just issued by the department of agriculture. The de partment therefore advocates the use of various methods to introduce the required humus into the soil. Experts of the forest service state that the soils of the whole country and particularly of the south, have lost and are losing immense amount of this source of soil fertility through forest fires which apparently do little immediate damage but rob the soil of accumulations of humus. In many parts of the south, land is be ing cleared for farming, and where such forest land has not been burned there is a large percentage of veget able matter, which provides consid erable fertility, and a good texture Moreover this soil has a greater capacity to absorb and retain mois ture, and thus is less likely to be washed and gullied under heavy rains. For these reasons, leaving out of account the damage done to stand ing timber, the department's author ities are agreed that fire should be rigidly kept out of woodlands. First Newspaper Printed iu English .Language. The first newspaper printed In the English language, with its old-Ene- lish type and its quaint account of events iu foreign countries, was a pamphlet issued in 1621. Its title 'Corrant of Nevves from Italie, Ger manie, France, and other places," is as curious as its contents. For many years it had been supposed that no copy of the Corrant was in existance, but recently a codv of this interpstine document was discovered, and a photograph of one page of it is repro duced in the June Popular Mechanics Magazine. The attention of sheenmen and camp tenders is called to the store at Lena.

The work of grading the eighth grade examination papers and re cording the grades lias been a very tedious piece of work. A very much larger number of applicants wrote upon the examination than at any previous examination. The exam ination proved very difficult for a large number. A large percentage of the applicants failed. ' Some of these are conditioned in only one or two studies, but many will be re quired to write upon all the branches In which they do not have exemp tions. The next examination will be held June 4 and 5. Ttachers who have completed the reading circle work for the year should send in for blanks upon which to make report of their work. Con tracts should not he sent in for regis tration unless the teacher at the same time sends in a report of the reading circle work and also her cer tificate for registration. Certificates can not be registered until the read ing circle work is completed, and contracts are not valid until the cer tificate is registered. The National Educational Asso ciation will meet at St. Paul, Minn., July 6-11. It is not likely that many of our teachers can attend, but those residing in the middle West, who go home for vacation, may be able to attend.
