Sam Small and the Temperance
Folks.

The Rev. Sam delivered one of
his characteristic lectures the other
night at Cbickering Hall, New York,
on The Quick and Dead of Prohi
bition." Small put his foot in it and
was bounced upon after his lecture
by some of the strong third party
men who were present. Sans lee
ture proved to be such disappoint-
ment to his friends who were at a
loss to conceive of his apparently
new position that the cratic preacher
has though, it advisable to publish
letter explaining his position.
When politicians commence to "de
fine their position" they generally
fail to make the matter any palmer,
and Saml. is not an exception. The
Rev. Sam says in his letter of ex.

basis. In every such proposition the
man and pledge must be for straight
out Prohibition." In this event we
could and would only be asked to
vote for candidate not of our own
making, upon his nomination by his
own party upon its (the party's)
pledge to the Prohibition issue."
If the report of Smalps speech at
Chickering Hall is correct as pub
lished in the papers, it don't dove
tail with his letter of explanation by
good deal. The candidate must
not only make Straight out Prohi-
bition pledge but his party must

Take Care of the Carriage.

The safest way to guard against blisters
on panels and the cracking of the varnish
OH carriages is to be careful about how
the vehicle is subjected TO either rain or
heat. If caught in a shower, have a
chamois skin with you; it will not take
very long to dry the surface off, and then
you are sure you are running no risks. If
compelled to stand any length of time in
the sun, turn the carriage around once in
a while, so as to allow the sides to cool
alternately Never allow the carriage to
stand in the coach house near u window,
unless you have u cover for the exposed
parts or curtains on the windows, and
above all do Of cool your carriage off too
suddenly while 1t is heated, by dashing
water over it il that condition; let it cool
off gradually by standing in shady place,
or at least until you can bear your hand
on it without almost burning it. The
reason Is that the varnish and paint are
softened up so that the sudden reaction
will be very likely to cause them to crack,
If not to flake off altogether. Water
should never be allowed to dry on carri-
age, either by tho action of the sun or
atmosphere, but should be dried of with
a channels.

In other words. 1t costs family of

articles. one-third less to live now than

The Philadelphia North American.
which can scarcely be accused of youth
fitness or immaturity Of judgment, has
been scoring its contemporary. The Times,
for the following statement:
1.-The wcavers Of England, or what we
call pauper labor. earn nearly or quite as
much, considering the cheaper necessa-
ries Of life and the purchasing power of
their wages"
While the above has the merit of being
short and sweet, 1t has the demerit of
being absolutely false. says The North
American. When one has been carried
to the highest peak of theory's mountain,
and by reason of surrounding mists and
storms the landscape is shut out from
view, misstep or installing q haystack
for a church are excusable errors. But
when the weather is clear and the OBJ
server has nothing to obstruct his view;
when he Is living in the realms of fact,
shuts his eyes and then tells what he sees,
then he utters falsehood; then he tells
lies for which there is no excuse.
Here is a statement of the wages re-
ceived in numerous industries:

Then comes the cost of necessaries:

Kent IL London FOR artisans Is from
$1.20 to $40 per week for ono or two
rooms, more for better accommodations;
respectable lodgings for clerks OF ware
housemen from 1922 to $242 per annum.
Small houses can be had for $175 per
annum, with taxes. which amount to
about one-tifth of the rental Small
houses in Philadelphia rent from S72 to
1920 per year, the former for two rooms
and tho latter for three rooms. AS for
the other neccssarics, such as clothing,
shoes, etc, 1t is sad to refer to them. All
family can afford to spend there for
light and fro is So per year, and that rep.
resents many cold bite and shivering
body. Shoes for the entire family of five,
S16.66; clothing for man, S13; clothing
for wife, $3.50, and clothing for children,
$1047.
Their necessities arc not supplied by
any means, but the above represents all
they can possibly afford to spend. lnfor
nation received this week gives the aver
nge wage of weavers in the United States
at $40 and $11 per week and IN England
$3.50 TO $3.50.
What is all this about? Tho free trader
wants to force the American working peo-
pie to admit free of duty the products of
foreign labor. The more of these products
that are admitted tho less we will be
called upon TO produce ourselves. The
less work we get tho less money we will
have and that is the long and short of it.

Sowing Wheat.

Care should be taken to use none but
the best of seed savedfrom crops that were
free from rust or smut. Experience has
proven drilling to be so superior to broad
cast sowing that it is now the most COM
mon practice. AS good results will COM
monty follow from 200 pounds of fertil-
izer to the acre, drilled IN, as from double
the amount scattered broadcast. 1t is
quite important for the young wheat to
get good start and q vigorous growth of
well rooted plants so as to safely pass
through tho winter and spring This early
start is materially aided by the fertilizer,
and besides this, most of our wheat lands
are often lacking in ono or more necessary
elements that commercial manures adapted
to the crop will supply.
