be kept free to all who provide their own

Mr.. Stevens adds to his report an item

quired for the bathing beach for the year

II, A. iaylOf, Assistant secretary Ol LnS
United States Treasury. recently wrote to
the Commissioners stating that new
sidewalk around the entire premises OF
the Treasury Department building ana
grounds is very much needed, as the pres
ent walk is not in harmony with the sur
roundings, ard is q menace to the safety
of pedestrians passing over it. Mr. ray
Ior suggests tnat if it should be found i'm
practicable to relay the entire walk this
year, the Improvement Of the walk on the
north and east sides of the premises would
greatly relieve the situation and add to
the comfort of those who are compelled
to use it.
Capt. Lansing II. Beach. the Engineer
Commissioner, after consideration OF
the application and of some former CORE
spondence OH the subject between the
Commissioners and Mr.. Taylor, has rec
commended to his associates that a cement
sidewalk De constructed around the Unit
ed State Treasury building at an estimat-
ed cost of $500, ehargeable TO the appro-
priation for repairs 10 Sidewalks and
/ curbs around public reservations and mu-

that SC much of the work as can be done
from this years appropriation be done

The Commissioners yesterday sent
communication to j. Ormond Wilson
relative to the reported delay on the
part of the Garfield Hospital to receive
Mrs Mary McBerry. who was brought
to the hospital on the night of Septem-
ber 21 The Commissioners refer to
conversation had with Commissioner
Ross in which the matter was gone over
in reference to an alleged discrimina-
tion of the police against the Gerield
Hospital in the matter of emergency
cases
After calling attention to these points
Mr.. Wilson is informed that a copy of
the report OF the Major and Superin-
tendent of Police is sent to him. which
the Commissioners hope will prove sat
isfactory to him in every respect The
report in question is;
1T would be contrary to my orders
were an emergency case removed by the
police to another than the nearest
hospital, and l feel confident that such
directions are being as faithfully COM
piled with as circumstances will allow.
Relative to the publication | have no
information as to how the statement of
! delay occurred, although the officer in
the case who has control of the patrol
wagon. informs the lieutenant in his re-
port that there was a delay of eight
minutes Be this as it may, I have
! transferred the man from the patrol
wagon to other duty, and have made
such other changes as I hope may pre-
vent a repetition Of what may be an
| unnecessary reflection upon the institu-
| ton referred to.
| This department entertains the high
| est consideration for the officers in
| charge of the Garfield Hospital, and !
| assure you that there is no disposition
| to treat 1t with other than the respect
which is accorded similar places

Dishonest Commission Men.

case where a creamery, tempted
by the fiattering promises of new
commission house in an eastern city
and further baited by higher prices
for its butter and prompt returns
for time, was induced to leave an
old and reliable house and consign
Its product to the new firm, only in
the course of two months to be left
to the tune of several hundred dol
lars, is only repetition of what has
taken place scores of times, and what
is going on all the time and will con-
tinue, just so long as the cupidity Of
men gets the better of their good
Judgment. In this particular case, it
being cooperative concern, the
patrons have to suffer the loss in
CURED by the foolishness of their
officials. When we take into account
the fact that there is no phase of or
binary business where men trust so
much to the honor of other men as
when goods are consigned to the
commission house, the standing.
good name and established integrity
of such commission house becomes a
question of the very highest import
ance. 1t matters not should the old
house be little slow, and Eot top
ping the market with your consign-
ment as you would like to have it
do, the chances are that the firm will
get you all your stuff is worth and
honestly sells for. There are always
shrewd, sharp and unprincipled
scamps posing as representatives Of
commission houses soliciting business
from the agricultural producers Of
the country, and we know of no form
of semi-legalized swindling which
brings better returns to the operators
or more certain woe to the victims.
1t matters not what your consign-
ment may be, whether poultry, eggs,
dairy products, or fruit, at least be
wise enough to consign your stuff to
a well known and reliable house.

Opinions Differ.

1T is the finest thing which ever
happened to the farmers of the
country" said granger a few days
since, referring to a new rural mail
route which had been established in
his neighborhood. 1T is one of the
worst things which ever happened to
the country merchant" said the pro-
prietor of general store in town
of thousand people, also referring
to the new mail route. The farmer
claimed that he was at last brought
into daily contact with the busy old
world which lay outside the bound
airy lines of his farm, that he could
now take a daily paper, keep better
posted on the markets and be re-
lieyed of the necessity OF going or
sending to town so frequently. The
storekeeper claimed that as a result
of the establishment of the new mail
route the farmer would buy less at
home and more away from home,
and he was warmly endorsed by the
restaurant man who furnished the
farmer his lunch, the livery man who
stabbed his team, and the saloon keep
er who sold him often more beer than
was good for him. All the same, the
rural mail route has come to stay,
and the merchant, the restaurant
man, the livery man and the saloon
keeper will have to adjust their BUSH
ness to it as long-needed and pro-
gressive step in the agricultural
development of the country.

Potatoes and Buckwheat.

A decided novelty in the line of
mixed crops is being successfully
adopted by friend of the writer,
being combination of potatoes
and buckwheat. A, the time of the
last blowing of the potato crop,
which is usually along about the last
of June, the field is seeded with buck
wheat and cultivated in. The buck
wheat takes complete possession of
the field by the time the potatoes are
ripe, prevents the growth of all
weeds, and when harvested in Sep
TENDER, gives a good crop, leaving
the soil clean and mellow for the Dig
ging of the potatoes. From an ex-
pertinent with a small patch the
acreage so treated has grown from
year to year, until this year twenty
five acres of this dual crop is being
gathered. Our friend reports the
plan every way successful and it
would seem to be worth a trial. for
we have nearly all had an experience
with weedy potato patch-weeds
which grow after the potato crop is
laid by. 1t may be noted that neither
of these crops are exhaustive and so
do not wear on the land.

Whose Chickensl

A farmer and town sport got
into discussion the other day as to
the ownership of the prairie chick
ems which the sport knew might be
sound on the land of the farmer
and which the farmer refused to let
him shoot. The sport claimed that
from time immemorial wild game had
been regarded as public property and
that his right To the birds was Just
exactly as good as that of the farmer.
The granger warmly disputed this
view of the matter and reminded the
town man that these chickens had
been raised not only on the farm of
the granger. hut on his grain, bugs
and grasshoppers, and that il any
body owned the birds, he did, and,
further, inasmuch as the law gave
him the power To keep the town man
from killing his birds, he proposed
to do il. There is no doubt that the
farmer had the right side of this
argument and the sooner town
sports understand that the right to
enter upon q mans farm and shoot
the game Is one granted wholly from
courtesy on the part of the owner of
the land, the better ii will be. A
general and united action by land
owners on this line Is the only
thing which will prevent the complete
determination of all our game birds.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-10-17

Inc present prosperous condition or
the farmers of the country should
be utilized by as many as possible TO
get square with the world and hedge
against the proverbial rainy day
which is sure to come again.
The very best safeguard for man ON
farm during siege of low prices
and hard times is to be out of debt.
Times have got to be worse than we
ever knew them if man who owes
nothing cannot manage to live and
get along pretty well on a farm,
even when banks are breaking. mer-
chants failing and labor unable to get
employment. Hard times, like certain
epidemic diseases, come and go about
so often and the wise man will pro-
vide against them.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-10-17

1T is an open question whether or
not the world would not be better
off provided the old Levitical law
governing the killing and use Of ami
mails for food was in operation. One
thing is certain: The Jews, who add
here most rigilly 20 the old Israel
itish custom touching the use of
animal food, as'arpeople, show most
remarkable immunity from some of
the most destructive of the diseases
which afflict the Gentle world. This
old law classed as unclean and unfit
for food all animals which parted
the hoof and did not chew the cud,
which classification bars out the
hog, and those animals were also
unclean which chewed the cud but
did not part the hoof, such as the
camel, the rabbit and others.
