News and Comment
Telephone Girls Record.

Another telephone girl has won
rich prize in the matrimonial series.
This time fortune did not lie in u
sweet voice nor in liquid telephone
laugh. The suitor was attracted and
transformed into a husband by the
magic of promptness and accuracy. He
never had to cali twice, never exper-
fenced hello wait and was never
afflicted with the wrong number. Along
the line where his interests were so
well served his affections were not
slow TO follow. Although this little
romance of the conversational ex-
change happened in Iowa, the moral
is not local. 1t is matter for long-dis-
tance transmission and reflection. No
central" is outside the circuit to
which it may be applied. Carrying
into domestic fife the characteristics
which made her career at the teia-
phone notable, the Iowa bride may I've
expected to insure her husbands con-
stant happiness by having dinner
ready at the moment, never keeping
the theater carriage waiting, and al
ways knowing without asking whether
her hat is on straight or not.-New
York World.

policy is one calculated to perpetuate
these iniquitous trade combinations is
an adequate excuse for his stand. Be-
cause Republican, being unable to
honestly subscribe to the precepts of
his party, decides to withdraw isreally
no reason why his fellow politicians
should assume the greatest Ignorance
as to the causes back of his secession.
In this case 1t is quite simple. Mr..
Henderson does not believe in certain
Republican principles. He is too hon
est to play the hypocrite, so ne grace
fully steps down and out.

young man at East Liverpool has
been discharged because he spent too
much of his employers time in pray
er. Although his dismissal has aroused
much indignation in certain quarters
of that city, thinking people cannot
fail to be on the side of the employer
The young man was hired to work and
not to pray. If all the workmen in
this particular shop became afflicted
in the same way the unfortunate en-
ployer would soon be bankrupt. 1t is
not necessary for anyone to neglect
his work to take proper care of his
soul.

AS a result of the conference among
President Roosevelt and five senators
yesterday it is announced that there
is to be no revision of the tariff and
that the president is to retain his
stand on trusts. This is merely one OF
the preliminaries to the coming trip Of
the chief executive through the west.
He has been careful to consult the SEN
ators of the various states upon the
proper sort of talk to hand out to their
respective constituencies. Roosevelt

he does not propose to make any

Wednesday afternoon. The

Wednesday afternoon. The
bill was prepared by School
Commissioner Bonebrake and was in
troduced by Representative Seese.
A county salary bill and two or
three other bills were introduced but
they will never see the light of day.
The school code will be printed, how
ever, and that will cost about $500,
nothing is done to it.
The house code committee has de-
cided TO make chiefs of police directly
responsible only to the director of pub
Tic safety. The chief is to be appoint
ed from the ranks under the classified
civil service and is to. be named by
the council. The chief of the lire
partment will be given equal RESPONSE
bility, under strict merit system.

code committee that treasurers, who
shall be elected for the municipality

Senator Wilhelm presided over the
senate committee of the whole, Tues
day. The matters under consideration
were such that 1t was absolutely nec-
essary to have an administration man
in tho chair so he was chosen to sit.
Wilhelm is not alone in his conten-
tions that the board plan is too cum
bersome for small Ohio cities and since
the house committee has chosen to Sc
lect heads of departments instead,
that sentiment has gained Roadway in
the senate. Consequently Senator
Wilhelm and others who have been
called insurgents are being treated
with more courtesy While it appeared
for a day or two that Wilhelm and
the men on the Republican side who
stood with him were defeated anu
hopelessly in the minority, it is seen.
now that they will ultimately win.
Senator Chamberlain, of Lorain, has
been voting with the administration
crowd, but he stated that he could
by the signs of the times, that the
board plan would not be in the bill
that would finally pass the general as
sembly. He seemed very glad of it,
which shows that when the house asks
for confidence he will be one of the
first to agree to the single heads OF
departments. This will lose the admin
istration its majority for the board
plan and the position taken by Will
helm. Archer and Jordan will be the
winning one after all.
The house code committee has not
taken a vote on the line OF demarlia-
ton between cities and villages but it
is believed the action of the senate,
fAipg the line at 5000 will be. concur.
red in. The senators who are ultra
men wanted the line
fixed at $4,000 so there would be less
opposition to the board plan. Senator
Harris, himself an administration man
put a stop to that by rafting speech
in which he said that the word had
gone out through the senate that it
would be fixed at 5000 and he thought
II would not be fair to change it. "If
you fix 1t at any other number you,
will hear something DROP said the
senator from Ashtabula.

DAIRY NOTES.

Clover is better than timothy Tor
COWS.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
important
TO get all of the butter the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough to get the milk.
Cows that are good producers or
rich milk must be good consumers.
In order to secure rich milk start
with rich COW and feed her rich
foods.
In small quantities cottonseed meal
is good feed, but in excess 1t IN
lures the butter.
Kicking a COW that is lying down
may make her get up more quickly,
but it will not induce her TO give any
more milk.
If rock salt is kept in the yard where
the COWS can lick it every day. there
is no danger that they will get too
much at once
One Of the most important condl-
tons of churning is the temperature or
the cream. no guess should be allowed,
but n good thermometer used.

hook attached to the bail by which they
may be hung to the ladder or to some
convenient branch Of the tree.
From the picking pail the fruit goes
into orchard" or picking" boxes that
hold about forty pounds. These boxes
are strongly made and last for several
years if properly used. They have
cleats across the ends which allow ven
tilation when the boxes are stacked
one above another.
In picking apples, for instance, GER
tain individuals who have judgment
are detailed to sort the apples as fast
as the pickers bring them in their
pals, leaving the full pail and taking
an empty one. Usually the apples are
sorted into three lots.
All sound apples, regardless OF size,
are put into boxes very carefully, the
orders being emphasized frequently to
"handle them like eggs" Wormy ap
pies are put in other boxes for 1mme-
date sale or consumption. The poor
est of the wormy apples and those
that are bruised or specked go into
still other boxes and are used for dry
ing, making cider, etc.
AS fast as filled the boxes are
stacked in the shade and as soon as
convenient are hauled to the drier OF
warehouse, where they are again
stacked until used. The apples as well
as other fruit are hauled from the
orchard on low wheeled trucks, with
springs under the platform. THESE
