The need of some fire alarm systsm in

possible to ring in an alarm without airy

Here we have . we'll organized aud efficient

which supply an abundance of water under
all circumstances and in any part Of the
city, all which have cost, and are
now costing no small sum OF money
An efficient alarm system is nee led

time Is very precious. II is also the geo.
ersl feeling among property holders in the
upper part Of the city that there should be
a hose cart or reel located amongst Them
az some convenient point. and which might
be used by those who happened to be IN The
vicinity before i: would be possiblesor the

the people have direct interest, and ia all

Farmsss' Opinions in l1aius.
Iowa State Register.

The labor commissioner Of Maine has
collected II volume Of opinions from farm.
ers on the present status and outlook Of
farming. The opinions are varied rs the
men and conditions In the Pine Tree State.
Many think the farmer Is thriving equally
well with other classes and Others see
nothing but financial distress and bank.
ruptcy staring the agricultural classes
in the face. Many think that relief can
only come when corporations, bond
holders and capitalists" are made to
share the burdens Of taxation that arc
now largely borne by the agricultural
population But even In the cold
State Of Maine it seems there are farmers
who are contented and prosperous.
One of these men writes that
''farmers who attend to their bush
ness and are not standing around with
both hands In their pockets, sucking
black pipes, are all right" Another one
reports that he has made money enough
to pay his taxes while his nelghbor has
been loaflng about the village store and
scolding about "hard times" There Is
a great deal of hard sense In these
replies. What Is true in Maine Is true
In Iowa, that the farmer who is indus
trious and Intelligent succeeds as well
as men in any other walk OF life.
