The annual meeting of the central union
will be held in October, by which time it
is Hoped that the farmers about every
station or creamery from which milk is
shipped to greater New York may be in
cluded in the local organizations. Full
outfits for this purpose can be obtained
from the secretary Of the central union,
Fl. T. Coon of Little York, Cortland Co.,
N. Y. The Homestead earnestly urges
producers in every town of the Housa-
tonic valley shipping to New York, and
not yet organized, to apply by mail to
Secretary Coon and get to work at once.
The great trouble with these efforts here
tofore has been that start has not been
made until midwinter, the organization is
not really begun until sprieg and then is
not taken up again until too late the next
winter to accomplish much. In this case,
however, magnficen start was made
last winter and spring, and if the work
is now pushed in red hot style during
September the r. S. M. P. A. will be in
strong position early i'll October.

In McClure's Magazine for September
George E. Graham describes the des-
truction of Admiral Cervera's feet, as he
himself had the good fortune to see the
work done from Commodore Schley's
flagship, the "Brooklyn;'' and W. A. NJ.
Goode describes 1t as he too saw it, from
Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, the "New
York" Together, the two papers
give a complete and most vivid &C.
count Of what was undoubtedly
the most picturesque event of all the
war; and being illustrated with portraits
of all the commanders, pictures OF all
the ships, and views of all the wrecks,
largely from photographs taken by the
authors, they leave nothing to be desired.
The growth of the suburban trolley
lines promises to affect the habits Of the
American people about as much as the
invention of bicycles. A few years ago
driving on country roads was luxury
reserved for persons who had horses or
could hire them. Now E. S. Martin
points out in "This busy world column
in Harper's Weekly for August 81, all
over the land the trolley makes long
country rides possible to thousands Of
persons who are too young, or too old, or
too infrm, or lazy to ride bicycles, and
too poor, or too timid to drive horses.

Wistar's views as to the causes of the

opinion, is that the methods of pun
