The value of the governments work
in taking up these large irrigation
schemes is we'll illustrated by the fact
that 1t requires from fifteen to twenty
acres Of land which 1t is proposed to
irrigate to support one cow, while as
soon as the water is turned on the one
acre in alfalfa it will support two cows

A stack so tramped will settle in per-

The natural law is that things will
sell for what they. are worth and
man be valued for just what he is
rather than that which he thinks he is
or pretends to be. Because of this it
never pays in the long run to put the
small apples and potatoes in the mid
die Of the barrel or for the man to as
sumo to be other than what he really
is.

Potatoes have brought very high
prices the past two seasons-from 81
to $3.50 per bushel. This is too much
for the tuber, and instead Of being
as it should be, staple food product
for every family, it becomes luxury.
Fifty cents is good price, enough to
give the grower nice profit and still
be within the reach Of the poor man.

We find that early potatoes maturing
in August are much better dug as soon
as ripe and put In cool root house
or cellar than they are to leave them
to continuous baking by the mid
summer sun. This plan further en-
ables one to take crop of turnips
from the land after the potatoes are
removed, and thus disposes Of a weed
crop which is always pest on the
undug potato field.

The best ideas are often of humble
origin. Here is an old Missouri farm
er winning a national reputation, all
because he took notion to split box
elder log in two pieces and fasten them
together fat face to the front, hitch
ed on his team and tried smoothing
the clay roads in front of his place aft
er the rains. Out of this very crude be-
ginning there has been established the
theory that such treatment of the dirt
highways will immensely improve
them at most trifing cost. -

A friend wants us to send him some
strawberry plants to be set out during
August. We have found that a straw
berry bed set in the late summer, even
if the plants can be made to live, which
is no easy matter, has no advantage
over the same bed planted next spring,
for 1t will produce no crop to speak Of
next year. This applies to the north
country. Farther south fall set berries
do well. for they have chance to grow
all winter.

To the Mayor and members of the
Wildwood Borough Council:
Gentlemen
We, the undersigned, residents and
property owners in the Borough of
Wildwood, would respectfully repre-
sent that for several years past we have
been paying meter rent to the Wildwood
Water Company, whereas we are re-
liably informed that the so-called
franchise of said company does not
mention meters nor give it the legal
right to charge therefore.
We would therefore, respectfully ask
council to protect us against such un-
just and illegal charge and we ask it on
the ground that we conceive it to be
the duty of Council to protect every
citizen against oppression and wrong.
Very Respectfully,

WATER METER RENT.
The following resolution was then
offered by Mr.. Hamilton, seconded by
Mr.. Harris:
Whereas, the franchise, or agreement
between the Wildwood Water Com
pany and the Borough of Wildwood
does not give the party of the first part
the right to charge the residents of the
Borough for meter rent, and
Whereas, a petition has been presen-
ted to the council, signed by numerous
property holders, asking council to
protect them from the demands of the
Water Company, therefore be it re-
solved,
Resolved, by the mayor and council
of the Borough of Wildwood, that the
Borough Solicitor is hereby authorized
and directed to defend any suit brought
against any resident or property owners
for the collection of meter rent or rents
and that any moneys in the borough
treasury, not otherwise appropriated
be set aside and used for the defense O.
such suit or suits.

Climatic Cures

The influence Of climate con-
ditions in the cure of consump-
ton is very much overdrawn.
The poor patient, and the rich
patient, too, can do much better
at home by proper attention to
food digestion, and regular use
of German Syrup. Free expec-
toration in the morning is made
certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absense
of that weakening cough and
debilitation night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion
due to coughing, the greatest
danger and dread of the CO..
sumptive, can be prevented or
stopped by taking German Syr-
up liberaly and regularly.
Should yon be able to go to a
warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of consumptives
there, the few who are benefited
and retain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial

come in the finish of the nine
teenth century, which have
developed and broadened wom-
ans relations; her outlook is
upon different scenes and pos
sibilities, yet through them all
runs the same old wool of wife
hood aud motherhood, earth's
most sacred duties. The ques-
ton now isnot, 'Shall woman's
field expand?" 1t has already
expanded. The paramount issue
is the maintenance of the home.
The developement of industrial
monopolies, where the dollar is
almighty threatens to undermine
the home. There is no more
menacing fact than this. Evil
dence exist ON every hand that
the preservation of the family
circle is the problem of the age
of commercialism. The best
way to become good is to be born
good and the next essentials are
the socialism of the home, and
the training of the mother, the
child's best friend.

Some are ready to see a corpo-
ration as a great big fat man
seated in a sofa padded leather
armed chair with a costly chan
delier shedding a brilliant liget
on expensive and elegantly
carved furniture. To our mind
a corporatian or combine can be
a good thing, or it can be bad
thing, as it may be directed.
For the protection of their own
property few men who do not
want to put all they have in an
enterprise, each agrees to put in
so many thousands, and form a
combined capital upon which
they desire to transact business,
and without endangering all
they have, they organizes ss-cor-
poration, hire a large number of
laborers, pay good wages, and
are called combine or trust. "
This organized capital developes
the resources of the country,
furnishes employment to a large
number of men, enabling them
to buy their own homes, yet
many regard this aggregation of
money menace to the country,
but such is not the case.-Jasper

A bad tendency of the times is
the clamor among the people to
have the government do some
thing for them. Every man
wants a pension, an office, or
something done for him that he
should do himself. He wants his
child given a college education at
public expense, he wants his mail
delivered at his door, his high
ways built, his town beautified,
in fact everything done and paid
for out of the government money.
He seems to forget that the gov
eminent is a pauper and has not
a single dollar that is not
taken from the people by taxa
ton. AS much as we pretend to
abhor paternalism, the times are
growing exceeding paternalistic.

Der pillows too smooth and too white;
Where bright little heads oft have lain,
And soft little cheeks been pressed;

Take courage to bear all the rest.
