Mr.. Editor; KS | havo not seen
anything in your paper from Sug-
artown recently, i thought it pru-
dent to let tho outside world know
just where we arc floating about
this time.
Crops arc looking we'll consider
ling the drought we are having.
Wheat in general is better than
most of us predicted. Corn is suf-
fering some, oats are OIL consider
able.
We aro TO havo an election here

hair pulling III tho windup, in a
friendly way of course, for we
don't have anything else in Sug-
artown, ard if i understand what
Others say about tho election, every
voter in tho district will be can
dldate, SO | guess we will havo
plenty of trustees for the next two
years. Still / don't think wo can
make much Improvement on our
| old set Of trustccs.
The negro problem, well, some
fellow will say he is going TO burst
on politics now. Anyway, what [
shall say will cover Croswell dis
trict only, then I suppose tho ex-
plosion will not be dangerous
The problem seems TO be Il subject
for all kinds Of prediction and
what it all is for | canno5 under
stand. Anyway ! think we about
havo 1T solved in Croeswell; there
is not bad negro nor u white
man either in tho district. OF
course, we have some cranks as
, other counties do, but as Luna
has gotten 80 she controls every
thing, the crank is not an exccp-
ton to this rule, SO We know Just
about what time to look for his

Of talk in The way that he must

"when my little boy was three months

who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Hoods Sarsaparilla was recon-
mended and began giving It to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to 60 into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
we'll, and his ears and nose, which were

COAST DEFENSE TORPEDO


War Department has practically
completed arrangements with the
famous Swedish engineer, Nor
denfeldt, whereby the coast de-
Tense torpedo controlled by him
and known by his name will be-
come the exclusive property of the
United States. Negotiations are
now, it is said, under way looking
to the manufacture of the Norden.
feldt torpedo at athe Il. w. Bliss
Works, Brooklyn.
Mr.. Nordenfeldt as a torpedo
and gun inventor is to Europe
what Edison is to electricity in
the United States. He is now in
the United States on a visit for
the first time. Less than fort
night ago he hurriedly left Eng.
land to meet by request officials
of the United States. The War
Department, it is stated, is anxi.
Gus to defend at once the harbors
of Porto Rico, Honolulu and
Guam. In the event of sudden
emergency the Asiatic fleet can
be depended upon to take care Of
the Philippines, but it is recog-
nized that considerable time must
necessarily elapse before suitable
artillery can be prepared, shipped
and mounted at the new ports.
In the northwest, particularly
in Puget Sound, the deep waters
and the strong tides render it diff
ficult to use the ordinary mine
torpedo, which is anchored to the
bottom. For these reasons the
War Department has deemed it
expedlent to resort to the best
known type OF torpedo which
could be Unanswered from the
beach, and the contract was at
once given for the Nordenfelt.
Secrecy surrounds the features of
this weapon, but the principal
peculiarly is that it lie automo-
bile, the motive power being self
contained electricity. There is an
engine which is run by electricity.
In the case of the Whitehead the
little engine which is carried in
the torpedo is run by compressed
air.
Mechsnism Controlling Torpedo.
The Nordenfelt differs from the
Whitehead, in being always un-
der control. This control is
effected by means Of wires which
reel of as the torpedo dashes
ahead.
The new Nordenfeldt runs un-
der the water submerged to a
depth Of six feet. It is cigar
shaped, with length of 35 feet;
maximum diameter, 30 inches;
total weight, charged for action,
$500 pounds; explosive charge,
800 pounds, which can be in.
creased to 500 pounds. Inside
the torpedo are the motive power,
propelllng and steering apparatus
and cable.
The motive power is supplied
by 100 storage cells, which de-
velop sixteen horse power, giving
a speed of fourteen and half
knots per hour. The steering of
the torpedo is effected by rudder
manipulated from the shore
through a three. cornered cable
1000 yards long. Not only can
the torpedo be turned to the right
or left as it speeds along, but it
can be stopped, reversed and run
back to the starting point at full
speed. Actual runs of two miles
in length have been made with
the Nordenfeldt torpedo at the
speed of fourteen knots per hour.
1t is learned that Mr.. Norden-
feldt has undertaken to provide
the United States with a torpedo
that will have a speed of sixteen
booto nor hour

One Paper There Advises Its Abandon
ment.
The great undertlow of the Rio
Grande may be tapped anywhere in the
valley at a depth Of from 10 to Is feet,
and this underf1ow may be depended
upon, however dry the season may be.
The Graphic believes that this under
flow presents the most practicable So
luton to the irrigation problem in the
Rio Grande valley, especially in the
vicinity of Ell Paso, where small fruit
ranches and gardens would be exceed
ingly profitable. A single well with a
reservoir, and a windmill, gasoline en-
CINE or other power, will irrigate five
acres of fruit or garden land. This
method Of irrigation is in successful OPP
GRAFTON in many arid and semi-arid por-
tions of the United States, and there are
a few instances Of it's successful oper-
alton in the immediate vicinity of this
city.
/. Water is all that is needed to trans
form the sandy wastes of the valley
between Ell Paso and Ysleta into a gar
den Of tropical luxuriance, and the
sooner the residents and prospective
residents Of the valley quit dreaming
about an international dam and take to
digging wells and putting in gasoline
engines or windmills, the sooner will
the transformation be accomplished

which always helps me. I always tell my neigh
bors what helps me and a good many have taken
your Favorite Prescription with good results
The "Favorite Prescription" has cured
more women than all other medicines for
women combined. 1t is the only prepara-
ton of its sort devised by a regularly grad
uated physician-a skilled and experienced
specialist in the diseases of women.
Other medicines are sometimes sold on
the plea that they are "just as good as the
'Favorite Prescription" Don't believe it.
Don't be imposed upon. Counterfeits are
never as good as the genuine.
Over $50, 600 women have endorsed Pa
vorite Prescription" They say there is
nothing "just as good" and they know.
Would you rather have the say-so of one
dealer who makes an extra profit on the
substitute, than the PROBABLE words of
$50, 600 women whose only object in recon-
intending the "Favorite Prescription" is
their desire to help their suffering sisters?

LATEST IN MOVING PICTURES.
The Agricultural Department Photographs
Growing Plants.

The Agricultural department has
pressed the moving picture machine into
the service of science. The division Of
vegetable pathology o has a device of
this sort in operation in one of it's green
houses, photographing the growth of a
small oak tree. The machine works
automatically, taking a picture each
hour. At night an electric light is
thrown into circuit as the exposure is
made. The machine has been running
about two weeks, and will be kept going
about two weeks longer on its present
subject. When the series of pictures is
completed it will be possible to reproduce
with the ~stereopticon the growth OF the
plant from the time the first shoot ap-
peared above ground till the tree is in
full leaf and a foot or more high.
While the oak tree pictures are purely
experimental, to develop the capacity of
the machine, it is intended to use the
serial photographs in watching the pro-
gress of plant diseases-blight, insects,
parasites, and the like. The department
hopes in the near future to be able to
loan to the agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations rolls of lantern slide
film to illustrate certain of the depart
ment's bulletins on these subjects.
1t is pointed cut that a lecturer before
a class could show in five minutes the
growth and seed distribution of any
noxious plant, such as the Canadian
thistle, or the life history of an insect
pest, so that it could be readily recog-
nized and combatted On its first appear
ance in a region, eve though the work
ers there had never seen it in actual
life.
In addition to the straight photo
graphic work expected of the new ma
chine, its designer intends to adapt it to
use with the X-ray, so as to take pic
lures of certain objects that otherwise
would be invisible. 1t is thought by the
department that a series of pictures of
this sort, taken during the period OF
CESSATION, would be of value to stock
raisers and might be adapted to the use
of the medical profession in certain lines
of Observation-Disclosures Post.

IS IT RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevar, NJ G.
1t may be a question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the mar
ket, yet as a preventive of suffering we
feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for 20
years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that If q
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. Atleast this has
been our experience during the past 20
years. For sale by A. c. ireland.
