THK AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Keep Coming, Folks.
THIS paper feels mighty good
because of the splendid re
sponse being made to our sub
scription statements. We are mak
ing an effort to clean up the rolls
and get every subscriber in good
standing, not only regarding past
due accounts, but in advanced pay
ments as well. Many are taking
advantage of our offer of three.
years for $5, and this holds good
until the first of January, 1928.
It is well to remember that on that
date, also, we go on a strictly cash-in-advance
basis. We will not
discontinue the paper to any ad
dress without due notice of date
of expiration having been given.
This system, we feel sure, will be
appreciated by our subscribers,
and no one will feel any offense
at having the paper stop under
these conditions. There are a
large number who are behind with
us for some years; these should
make an effort to pay up and show
their appreciation of our good of
fices in sending the paper along.
Tne squaring of these accounts
can be made on the basis of three
years for five dollars, and their
payment will be a big lift to us,
financially, right now. Keep com
ing. folks.
Norris Bursts Bubble.
TARMERS have been told for
T the last ten years that govern
ment operation of the Muscles
Shoals hydro-electric plants
means over-night rehabilitation
and enrichment of depreciated
soils at litte or no cost the gov
ernment owned electric plants to
supply unlimited quantities of fer
tilizer. This fanciful story was
probably inspired by local land
booming interests about Muscle
Shoals which desired the taxpay
ers of the United States to assist
in blooming their lands by supply
ing them with electricity at rates
far below costs of production.
Now comes United States Sen
ator George W. Norris of Nebras
ka, . high priest of Government
ownership and operation of elec
tric utilities for light and power,
to bear witness that Muscle Shoals
does not possess any value as a
source of producing fertilizer.
In a signed article in The New
South Magazine, Senator Norris
says :
In connection with Muscle Shoals
there remains for discussion the
question of fertiliser. At the time
the law was passed providing for
construction of Muscle Shoals, it was
believed by everybody that by the
use of cheap power we would be able
to extract nitrogen from the air at
a price that would materially reduce
the cost of fertiliier to the farmer.
Songs of Plain Folks
"OldltlomeVldce
"Old Home Place"! Elmg remembering:
Mother who sewed within their shade,
The tumult that the children
And bent boughs creaking to the swing,
As sweetly as of yore they sing,
These robins nesting in your trees,
Old Place, and on the scented breeze
Come memories, bewildering.
Old Home, though thickets wild embrace
The spot where your lov'd walls arose,
The little, talking leaves disclose
Your presence. Years cannot efface
The charm, but only lend it grace. (
Still dwells a spirit, multifold,
That welcomes him who in the old '
Sweet days lived at the ''Old Home
Deserted garden walks I tread,
Half-hidden foot-paths, overgrown
With matted graBS, once closely mown
Where wild asparagus with red,
Round berries grows, while overhead
On apple branches, as of old,
The discontented bluejays scold.
Cares fade and I am comforted.

DcFrank Crane Says
There's Too Much Concentration At Times
SIR OLIVER LODGE the other day said: "Science pursues a
narrow road in search of truth, looking neither to the right
nor the left. Well, it will soon have to take its blinkers off.
The roads are not the whole universe. There is a good deal of
ground in between. It looks at present like a jungle and thicket
uncivilized. Well, we will have to civilize it."
The fault to which Sir Oliver refers is not confined to
scientists, although it is common among them. A man may look
so intently at that thing upon which his attention is fixed that
tie fails to see important things about him to which he gives no
heed.
Some of the most important things of life come unexpect
edly. Some of our most vital events are not those toward
which we labored.
A man should keep his eyes and be able to see things "out
of the tail of his eye."
The best things that ever happened to us have not been those
things that we so arduously searched for, but things which have
bumped into us unexpectedly.
It is all right to pursue one subject with concentration, but
we should not concentrate so much that we do not see other
things.
Many a man has been so busy with his trade or calling that
he has failed to recognize opportunities that thrust themselves
upon him.
Many a religionist has been so occupied with his faith that
he has taken in none of the indubitable facts that surround him.
So, also, some scientists pursue their duty so fixedly that
they fail to see the spiritual realities that occur about them.
A concentrated mind is a good thing, but it should also be
an alert mind. We should press forward toward the goal in
view, but we should be ready to jump at prizes that lie by the
roadside.
There is such a thing as too much concentration.
Men centering all their attentions upon the pursuit of
wealth do not see the little opportunities for happiness that lie
along their path day by day. Women are so intent upon gain
ing some goal which they think important that they miss other
blessings which they might have by the way for the taking.
Let us devote all our attention to our business in hand, but
let us remember that there are other things in this world than
the thing upon which we have set our heart and that some
times these other things are quite as important as our chosen
object.
Originally, nitrogen was extracted
from the atmosphere by what was
known as the arc process. It re
quired a great deal of cheap power.
Later the cyanamid method was dis
covered, requiring less power. That
was about the condition of the know
ledge possessed in America at the
time of the breaking out of the
World War.
It was known that the Germans
had invented an improvement over
the cyanamid process, known as the
Haber process, but the details Were
not understood by the American
scientists at the time of the construc
tion of Muscle Shoals. The cyanamid
process was well understood. Its
possibilities were definitely known,
so the government provided for a
large plant at Muscle Shoals, known
as Nitrate Plant No. 2, capable of
extracting 40,000 tons of nitrogen
from the atmosphere in a year.
When the war ended scientists
learned what the Germans knew and
which they had greatly improved dur
ing the war, and it was then possible
to construct a plant along more mod
ern lines. From that day to this,
scientific men have improved the Ha
ber process. In every improvement
made less and less power was used
until at the present time it is definite
ly known that in the construction of
up-to-date plants to extract nitrogen
from the air, water power will not be
used. Instead of locating a nitrate
plant in the vicinity of water power,
any one designing such a plant today
would locate it with a view of get
ting cheap coal Instead of cheap pow
er. With this knowledge no efficient
government or Hvato corporation
would think of using water power for
the purpose of extracting nitrogen
from the air. In every case coal is
used because it is more profitable to
utilize the by-product of coal than
it is to use water power for the com
paratively small amount of power
that is necessary.
James Qwis Hays

made,
Place.
Private parties in our own conn
try, using nitrogen for commercial
purposes, have, since the war, con
structed a number of comparatively
large. jdants for the extraction of
nitrogen from the atmosphere, and in
no case are they using water power.
Population Crowded
Don't Worry.
rrHE REV. G. A. S. KENNEDY
J. ot hngland says, Britain stop
ping famines and plagues in In-
dia has sent the population from
one hundred to three hundred mil
lions. Now Hindus want to get
into Africa, where there is more
room. European races in South
Africa are attending to that. Ab
senceof plagues and famines in
Asia has increased population
there also. And they are anxious
to get into the United States. That
also will be attended to.
Lord Esher says there were only
850,000,000 people on earth in
1800. Today there are about 1
800,000,000. The increase, a little
more than one per cent a year.
will make the population of the
earth in 3020 more than 12,457,'
uuu.uuu. mat need not worry
you. Henry George reminds you
that if a puppy dog's tail kept on
growing as it grows when he is a
puppy each old dog would have a
tail thirty feet long. No dog has
such a tail.
To begin with, Texas could feed
the 1,8000,000,000 people now on
earth, under intensive cultivation.
In the second place, flying ma
chines will enable people to live,
wiht plenty of room for ten billion
humans on hilltops and mountains
with no inhabitants today. And in
the third place, when people be
come highly civilized they will
have fewer children. Providence
leaves nothing important to
chance.
