The farmer who has more hay than
barn room will find 1t good invest
ment to have hay press that he may
put it into smaller bulk, so that there
will be room for it in the barn, instead
of stacking it out of doors. 1t will
keep better, and if he has any to sell 1t
will be more easily handled and sell
more readily at a better price. If one
cannot afford to buy Il press, let those

Every day in the great American
cities men, women and children are
killed by street cars travelling at a
rate of speed which makes such fatali-
ties certain. The record of these TRACE
dies is an appalling one. In any other
country but this an instant and rigor-
yzhedy would be applied. Amcri-
can leniency in dealing with the pub
deserving corporations must be held
responsible for existing dangerous con-
ditions. There should be limit to this
leniency, however, and the tragedy in
which President Roosevelt confronted
such deadly peril points moral to this
effect.

COAL MINERS ARE UNDERPAlD.
BY Rev. RUFUS 4. Whitc. of chicago

The demand for better wages is just.
Coal mining in the anthracite region is
not only hard, but it is unusually dan
gerous. The bureau of mine inspection
reports 1870 men and boys killed in the
last ten years. In 1901 437 We're killed
and 1856 injured. These fatalities left
23O widows and 525 orphans. For every
10000 tons of coal mined in the anthra-
cite coal fields one man or boy is killed.
Two are killed a day on the average for
the working days of the miners and five
injured. The killed and injured annually
in the anthracite coal mines are said to
be eight times as many as were killed

Eyaporated or pried potatoe,.

Evaporated or Dried Potatoes.
"Dried potatoes" is the name Of a
new product evolved by the South Car
olina Agricultural Experiment Station.
The potatoes are boiled, peeled and
evaporated in cannery, and will re-
main in perfect condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eating
after being soaked in warm water for
an hour. Like many other new ideas,
this promises to be a big thing, and its
development may have great effect on
the vast potato fields of northern Maine.
1t is reported that an acre of potatoes
yielded 357 bushels, which made 105
bushels of the dried product, nearly n
pound to 31a pounds of the raw product.
Although the report we have does not
say anything about it, probably the
sweet potatoes can be subjected to the
same process. American Cultivator.

DEGENtRAcY OF NEW yoRK's FOUR HUNDRED.
Bynenry Hatterson. Editor Louisville cour,er-Journa

The term smart set" was adopted by
society to save itself from more odious
description. The distinguishing trait of
the smart set" is its moral abandon. 1t
makes business of defying and oyerleap-
ing conventional restraints upon its pleas
ures and amusements. Being titled after
rule, and either rich in fact or getting
money how it may, it sets itself above
the law, both human and divine. Its
women are equally depravcd with its
men. They know all the dirt the men
know. They talk freely with the mon
of things forbidden the decent. The
