These powers ar made in New York State

thence. These powers have inch track wheels
(others have only inch) Why do you send
out west a Thousand miles or more to get a

TAX PAYERS AROUSED.
AND Is IT A WONDER?

II the tax payers of Newtown don't
scratch their heads when they get hold
of the town report then we will have
missed our guess. What would you think
of Newtown business firm with ex.
penses of about $27, 1856 60 aud an eafima-
ted income OF som-tning like $22, 800 90,
say 5000 90 to be gener out? What
precipice would you say he is heading
for? But this is practices lily Newtown's
cor dition with expenses for the current
year something like this: Sheen. $82
schools, $7.74s75; paupers, 81. 752 20 ;
roads. 1874 AZ; bridges and slnices,
81, 4O4.S4; ordinary expenses, So sos So ;
orders in hand of collector, 50 5S7 rs.
This probably leaves de felt something
like $8, 567 90 if the outstanding orders
are considered. In the name OF good
sense and sober thinking we ask, do you
wonder the tax payers are aroused al d
want change?

True ECONOMY

The difference of cost between
good and poor baking powder
would not amount for a fan1ily's
supply to one dollar year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never sPoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money.

however, and Is not at all given to dissi-
patton, and there Is little of frivolity In
his composition. The training of the
Prince and his brothers was not left
wholly to his tutors. His mother, a
woman of rare discretion, exercised a.
personal supervision over It, His future
station In life was kept constantly in
view, and those studies and sports that
were best suited to his preparation for
the duties that may in time devolye
upon him were especially chosen.
For manv years the Princes mother
made 1t point to be present at all the
indoor lessons. No matter what the
hour may be of her return to the palace
or the conclusion Of this or that festiv-
ity or ceremony she does not retire
without having gone the round of all
her children's rooms. Ordinary boys

Another effort is being made to have
the Washington shingle mills close for
two or three weeks in July. 1t is
customary for all the mills to shut
down for the Fourth, and the PROPOSE
ton is to curtail the cut by keeping the
saws quiet for several weeks. The
reason is that labor troubles and strikes
in the East have delayed building
operations, and materially reduced the
demand for lumber and shingles.
