Council Left Little Power.

Columbus. O.. May 22-The supreme
court today handed down a decision

authority under which boards of review

BETTER BUSINESS METHODS
Saving the Wastes on the Farm A.
Important Matter.

Saving the Wastes on the Farm An
Important Matter.
Some one has said that IL he could
have what was wasted on an aver
age American farm he could live In
comfort. This, fear, is only too true
of the average farmer. He does not
make a study Of his business. While
hundreds of dollars worth of the best
liquid fertilizer is running to waste In
his barns, or under the caves of 1t, he
is buying commercial fertilizer at $50
to $40 per ton to enrich his land. While
nature has given him rich and fertile
land he too often sees an alluring bag
of gold in the bountiful yield Of hay
and does not realize that he Is robbing
his land of fertility when he sells hay.
These and a thousand other wastes
on the farm are brought to the farmers
notice by the discussions in the grange,
and the farmer must be dull indeed
who does not reap some benefit from
them. A fair and just exchange of the
commodities of the farm for those Of
the factory, the mine and the profes-
sional man must come about through
better business methods. The farmer
should act with others of his own pro-
fession and at least devote as much
energy to marketing his crop as to pro
ducing it.
There are many causes to remove be-
fore agriculture will receive fair and
just return for the capital and labor
invested in the industry, but the remov-
al of these causes lies in the hands Of
the farmer himself. He must cooper
ate with others in improving his busi-
ness methods and must apply the same
thought, energy and business ability to
agriculture that are applied to any 9th
er industry A. Fuller.

EAGLES MERE.

Friends of Silas Henry have for
some time been trying to have him
made a member of the p. 0. Club.
But his fate is sealed now! His re-
marks to the News Item, endeavor-
ing to injure the Clubs credit, will
make the efforts of his friends in his
behalf useless. 1t seems very un-
kind of Mr.. Henry too, when one
thinks of the hours he has spent in
warming his toes around the Clubs
stoves, to say nothing of the dis
cussions he has entered in and lis
tened to without costing him cent.
Well, its all up with Silas now and
just as the Club is adding an old

The pernicious habit of picnic par
ties tying horses to the bushes near
the Lake, to destroy the shrubbery
and to be pestered by fiios, was the
cause of the death of fine horse last
Saturday afternoon. After fighting
flies several hours the horse broke
its fastenings and deliberately trot-'
ted into the Lake.. carriage and all,
and was drownded. 1t was said to
be young and valuable animal.
The accident-Or possibly suicide,
took place near the ice house belong
ing to the Land Company. The ice
house belonging to the Land Com
gany. The ice house is situated
near the Lake on the one hundred
foot reserve decided to the public,
has bulging sides, leaky roof and
really looks like "thunder." 1t is
said that the horse came to the sur
face once and seeing the ice house
full in the face, deliberately held his
head under the water until life was
extinct. So its hard to say from the
evidence now at hand whether it was
accident or suicide.

see his little boy, who had "a very

"Yes, doctor, knew he was" said
the woman.
"Then what In the world did you
mean by writing me he had "a very

The woman hesitated for a moment;

with sullen frankness, Neither him
