QualityAppreciation of quality is one of the surest evidences of the developed individual. Merely “good enough” is no longer good enough for the man who is growing in his ability to take a constructive place in business or social affairs. The merchandise fostered by this store reflects that policy to the fullest degree.. Value can be judged only in relation to quality—in material, in treatment, in form. We never skimp merchandise to fit a price, but build it to express a quality that corresponds to a human need. Our price is determined by the cost of production plus a fair profit,— large enough to reward a worthy effort—small enough to win an everincreasing patronage.

-•ears to make desirabble the publlcaion by the United States Department. >f Agriculture of Farmers’ Bulletin '250 Green Manuring, bby V. Piper tnd A. .1. Pieters. The subjects discussed range from definition of the term “green manring.” which means "the turning un-

ler of any crop, while green or soon fter ripening, for the purpose of soil mprovement,” to descriptions of the 'any crops that are used for land beterment in most regions of the United Rates and in some other countries. Elie use of special green-manure crops, lays the bulletin, is much more genral in the South than in the North. In he semi-arid regions, for reasons made dear, under dry farming green man '.res are not used, but in irrigated treas in the West orchardists depend ipon them to a great extent to inTease the yield of fruit. These crops that are grown primar ly as roughage for feeding the soil •reduce both chemical and physical es ects that are of benefit to plants that ucceed them. When a green-manure •rop is turned under, the various ferilizing elements that have gone into he making of the crop are returned to he soil, and a quantity of organic natter not before in the soil is added, nd, in addition to improving the phy;ical condition, serves as food for ben•ficient bacteria. One of the most im •ortant functions of organic matter in he soil is to keep up the nitrogen sup'ly. The bulletin gives three ways in vhich this is done: (1) Growth of no lule bacteria on roots of leguminous plants; (2) the making of nitrates by toil bacteria from organic nitrogen in he soil; and (3) growth of bacteria ind molds that feed on plant waste in he soil and take nitrogen directly rom the air. These processes may be •.timulated by adopting the proper •radices and suitable crops. TRAINING AVIATORS TO~ DIRECT GUN FIRE Washington, Juno 28.—Naval aviation students at the Pensacola Air Station arc now given a "post graduate course,” which give them actual practice in spotting, an innovation just put into effect making it possible for them to be, trained under conditions similar to fleet service. One of the most important functions of a naval avaitor is to act as the eyes of the fleet gunners observing and con troHing the fire. Flying high up over the scene of action he is in an ideal position to view the splash of the battileships salvos and to signal down what corrections must be made so as to bring the shells into the enemy fleet. In order to teach the young flyers those tactics before he goes with the fleet for active service, a battery of 3-inch guns has been installed at the Pensacola station so as to reproduce on a reduced scale; the conditions found in actual warfare. The student avaitors are sent aloft in tile standard naval spotting plane over targets representing enemy ships. At the first savlo they ovserve the fall of the shells, figures out the change needed and instantly, by means of his radio telephone transmits his correction to the gunners below. This correction is made, another salvo fired and usually the target is rid died for spotting from the air. with the r>ea spread out below like a map, is far more accurate than spotting from the fighting top of a battleship with the target barely visible on the horizon.
