BANK OF M)OMH When shipments were interrupted by the war, it was estimated that there was enough Potash on hand in the United States to pro vide two and three per cent Potash in mixed fertilizers for this spring's trade. Some manufacturers had more than enough for these percentages. Since then minor sources of Potash have been fully utilized, and additional shipments from the .usual source are still being received. The supply is below normal, but this need not prevent farmers securing some Potash in their fertilizers, nor should it lead farmers to decide not to use fertilizers. There is no reason to return to the out-of-date goods without Potash, although some authorities may try to "wish" them on us.' We have not used enough Potash in the post The largest annual import of Potash was only one-seventieth of the Potash tah n from A toil by our 1914 torn crop and only one-fifteenth of the Potash lost every year in drainage water. Spring crops use from two to ten times aa much Potash as Phos phoric Acid. Get as much Potash in the fertilizer as possible. A few firms are offering to furnish from four to ten per cent. There is no substitute for Potash. It may be harder to get just now, but POTASH PAYS. GERMAN KALI WORKS, lac, 42 Broadway.

Some experiments are now being conducted with seventy-five calves on the farm of Mr. Leonard Tufts at Pinehurst, N. C, with a view to ascer taining the most economical feed calves intended for use as dairy cows, and whether or not it pays to feed th calves from time of birth or to buy the cows. During the past month th calves made an average gain of 36.25 pounds per calf at a cost of $4.26 for the month. The cost which is ratlier high has been further reduced D;, placing the calves on pasture.

SKI.I.KRS Atinic Dlre.-tor "f Hnmlay Hrlicn.l Course. Mwouy In lllute. Cliii-iiKu.) LESSON. FOR MARCH 21 JONATHAN AND HIS ARMOR BEARER. LESSON TEXT I Samutl 11:1-13. GOI.HKX TKXT-tn put on thp ar mor nt liyht.-Kom. Samuel's review of his life of integ rity, his charge to the Israelites, God's testimony of displeasure over their persistent desire to have a king, and Samuel's words of comfort and as surance as found In chapter 12. form an- interesting connection with last Sunday's lesson. In chapter 13 we have the record of Israel again in dis tress and of Saul's folly in his assum ing the priestly office (vv. 13, 14). I. Saul's Distress, vv. 1-4. That Saul's disobedience, just indicated, had tncurred Cod's displeasure, we know, ft evidently had its effect upon the people also, for his army had dwindled during the intervening fifteen or eight een years, from S30.000 Uh. 11:8) to a feeble B0 (v. 2). They were further handicapped by a lack of weapons teh. 13: lfl-23). Deserted by Jehovah, by Samuel, Jehovah's priest, and by nearly all of his enthusiastic subjects (see 11:12) Saul was "in the uttermost jart of Gibeah" hiding under a pome granate tree (see vv. 11, 22 and IS: 6) Tills may refer to his being at Rimmon (Judges 20:43-47). In this retirement Saul retains Ahiah (v 3) as priest, thus keeping up the outward form of worship. This priest is not referred to as Jehovah's. He was a grandsoa of Phixiehas. one of Ell's wicked' soiis. and as such was not to be a successor in the high priest's .office ,(ch. 2:30 26). Such an outward form of "dead works" cannot take the place of a liv ing faith. For Saul to consult the or acle of the X'rim and Thuminiin worn by the priest and later to call up 'fa miliar, spirits, shows hi lack of spir itual apprehension. The' references made to Saul's conduct (chapters 12. 13) are an incjlcatiou of his character and emphasize the psalmist's worda as found In Ps. 119: 11,. 103. . II. Jonathan's Victory, vv. 4-13. But God had one leader to whom he could speak, Jonathan, who is one of the finest and most attractive characters In the whole Bible. This episode la among the most brilliant in the his tory of the Israelltish nation. H was a brave deed, and an evidence of that triumphant faith shown so clearly in Jonathan's dealings with David. There seems to be a suggestion that Jona than had lost confidence in bis fa ther, for neither he nor the people knew where Jonathan had - gone, Verses 4 and ft vividly picture the nature ot the location wherein Jona than undertook, this feat. Jonathan clearly counted upon the fleshly cov enant sign as ground upon which to expect help and victory over his ene mies, who lacked such a sign (v. 6). The army of the Philistines had been divided into three sections (Ch. 13: 17), and this gave Jonathan his op portunity. The garrison at Michmash was on the opposite side of the ra vine from Geba, Saul's headquarters. Hidden by the cliffs it was Quite easy to approach the Philistines. It Is an Interesting and enlightening conversa tion recorded as ensuing on that jour ney. Jonathan Tt may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no re straint to the Lord to save by many or by few (v. 6). Armorbearer Do all that Is in thine heart; behold I am with thee. Jonathan We will pass . . over, and will discover ourselves. The test, as recorded in verses 9 and 10 was a real one and a reve lation of Jonathan's shrewdness. Not to be invited up by the Philistines would suggest a desire they may have had to cover up any weakness. To be asked to "come" suggests their self confidence. Today's Message. Two young men of faith saved a nation sunk In despair and disgrace. They inspired confi dence in God and his promises. "Youth for battles, old age for counsel," but there are times that demand action more than conference and considera tion. Courage la only ot value, how ever, when based upon much training, devotion to God, the interests of oth ers, and a clear vision. It is not a mere flash In life's pathway. Courage is contagious; Jonathan's feat set on fire the soul of a nation. Read again the roll of honor in the eleventh chap ter ot Hebrews. The highest courage is not physical but moral. This cour age is open to all, but it is Intelligent ly grounded upon God's sure revelar tion In his word and in the person of his Son, our Lord. "And his sjmor bearer after him." Jonathan did not go alone. Oa the other hand it is not probable this young lad would have cone up those rocks had not Jonathan led the way; be cause one went before him, he was able to scale the fortress. God alone knows the heights to which we may attain, but does not ask us to go alone, nor expect us to do the impossible. The greatest heroes are not military, they are Christian heroes, who put on the Christian armor and whose "strength Is the strength of ten be cause their hearts are pure." Such heroes are not dismayed at the con tempt and gibes ot the enemy. SOLDIERS IN EUR0PL BECOME SICK WITH KIDNEY DISEASES Doan's Kidney Pills Are Being Supplied Free to The Suffering Men.

A Wonderful Healing Influence in Kidney Troubles A year and a half ago I was taken with a severe attack of kidney trouble that pained me to such an extent that morphine had to be given me. Was attended by a doctor who pronounced it as Stone in the Bladder and pre scribed Lithia Water. I took Lithia water and tablets 'at some time and received no relief from them. I stop ped taking medicines for some time, later having somo Swamn-Root in the house I decided to try it and felt much relieved. While taking the second bot tle commenced to pass Gravel in urine until I had passed in all at least nan a dozen or more and have not suffered the slightest since and in all have taken one bottle and a half and feel very grateful to Swamp-Root.
