that must be given to the dyking,
dredging, crop cultivation, maintenance
of buildings and construction of good
roads, with the various detail that is
required by hundred and more lesser
things, is no simple task and that with
out perfect system it could not help
but fail. In establishing a system that
in other places similarly conducted was
accepted as pattern and it will be of
interest to note in detail just how the
work is carried on. In the first place is
a manager, who has full charge of all
the plans and is the general director.
AS his assistant, is man experienced
in crop culture and in this instance he
is one of the most experienced beet
growers in the Netherlands Then in
order come the seven foremen, all ex-
perts in their respective departments
and experienced in handling large
crews. A chief dredge engineer, whose
special work is connected with three
floating dredges and two land dredges
is also an important man. Then there
is live stock superintendent, who has
the full care OF 100 horses, several hun
dred cattle, hogs, etc. In charge of the
commissary department there is a
housekeeper, who has full sway over
the boarding house, where at times as
high as $50 are fed. The dormitories
where the beet workers are housed is
also part of her lot. Thus in briefJc
it be seen how the little town isNc9p-
Quoted.
Emmett T. Bowen, formerly of this
city, is manager of the farm Speaking
to The News of the work, Mr.. Bowen
said: 1T will perhaps be three or four
years before the entire development of
the 5000 acres is perfected. In the
meantime one.half of the farm is safe
from inundation and is yielding good
returns. The development work is
being pushed very rapidly, new ground
being constantly drained, plowed and
made ready for crops, We will have
about $500 next year and the main
item will be beets, although rye, wheat
oats, potatoes, hay, rape and buckwheat
will be grown.
Zone of the most notable features of
the Farm is in reference to the wage
scale, and it is safe to say that in no
farm in this country where the en-
ployes are working twelve months a
year is such high scale established.
We have no trouble naturally in getting
help and most of our men are Germans. !"
On Sunday several hundred persons
often visit the Farm.

There were few measures of more

There were few measures of more
importance enacted by the last legisla-
ture than what is known as the truancy
law which became operative last week
The purpose of this law is to provide
means through which children of
school age can be compelled to attend
school, former measures in that direc
tion proving almost worthless in . the
country districts of the state. It has
been officially estimated that hardly
sixty percent of the children of school
age have attended school through the
periods required by the state law. LIN
some of the most progressive counties
of the state children of parents who
could we'll afford to send them to school
have permitted them to pass the school
age unable to either read or write.
This is an offense against all the people
of the state which the new AE is in
tended to prevent. 4

The Hunting Season.

Nimrod was mighty hunter, but
had he hunted in the Highlands of
Ontario" that are reached by the Grand
Trunk Railway System he would have
been mightier one. Nimrod hunted
for glory, but those who go up into the
several districts in Ontario hunt for
game and have no difficulty in finding
it. The regions in which deer abound
are the "Maganetawan River, "Georg-
ian Bay" Lake Nipissing," the
French River" "Kawartha Lakes
and on the line of the Canada Atlantic
between Scotia Junction and the
boundary of Algonquin Park. The
open season is from November list to
November 18th.
For moose, the best region in Canada
is found in Temagami, where the sea-
son opens October 10th and continues
until November 18th.
The open season for ducks in Ontario
is from September 1st to December 10Th
and for partridge September 18th to
December 18th.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an
lnf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When tais tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces,

First" was the answer, because he
is wholly untitled by temperament for
any executive position; secondly, be-
cause he cannot help making reckless

1t is reported from Wisconsin that
much consideration is now being given
to the practical possibilities of the pri-
mary election law to be effective for
the selection of all state candidates next
year. 1t is said to be feared that the
number of candidates and the inclin-
alton to favor home candidates regard
less of other considerations may lead to
results just the opposite of those antici-
pated by the friends of the law.
Governor LaFollette is said to have in
mind an amendment to the state law,
permitting voters to register their
second and third choice for nomina-
tions, this provision being thought de-
sirable as means of ascsrtaining the
real desire of the voters with the sec
tional sentiment eliminated. There is
said to be probability that a select
conference of fractional leaders will be
held in Milwaukee sometime soon to
select candidates whom the several fac
tions can favor and urge throughout
the state, just as has been done in other
years under other laws. But all the
voters of the party will have an oppor-
tunity to express their choice in the
matter and the outcome may be salts
factory in spite of present fears. Prac-
tical experience with statewide prim airy
election laws will afford the only fair
test of their efficiency and value.

THE DEMAND FOR DIRT.

1t doesn't take much to give man
a reputation for meanness. Even the
laborers who shovel dirt over the
sickly grass plots on upper Broadway
have earned it by refusing to give
away pals Of earth, says the New
York Sun.
I'VE have to shut down sometimes"
said one of the misers. IF we
hadn't we wouldn't have any dirt left
to beautify the landscape. Folks in
this town are the biggest beggars you
ever saw. No sooner is a CARLOAD Of
dirt dumped out than children all up
and down the street swarm around
with pals that they want filled with
dirt to plant flowers in or to make
mud pies with. With all that de
mand we simply had to be mean!"

of the day. where many hundred men
are employed. even the superintend-

expert mechanic, but on account OF
his knowledge of shop organization
and management; and sometimes his
fcrcmen fall into the same category.

A WAR ON THE ONION.

A campaign against that odorous
edible, esteemed everywhere for its
strong SAVIOR of virtues-the onion
is being waged at Portsmouth, Ohio.
To trace the origin of the crusade.
A lecturer before the Alliance Of
Woman's clubs said that the onion
had no value as food, that it had no
taste, appealing only to the sense of
smell
The friends of the down-trodden
vegetable had the spunk to defend it.
That made trouble in the town. The
ensuing debate estranged friends and
stopped one marriage.
dispute the alliance passed resolu
tons CHASING the onion with "the
noxious herbs CT the lily family" The
concluding paragraphs read as fcl-
lows:
"Whereas, the Apostle Paul, in his
letter to the Romans. doubtless re-
ferred to the eating of onions when
he said: If any man defile the tenn
rle of God him shall God destroy, for
the temple of God is holy, which tenn
pie ye are;; therefore.
Let all sensible and clean people
cease the onion habit"
There now!
There is no compromise with the
unclean shifting, no meliorative sug-
eestion that the acrid volatile oil Of
the onion may be released by boiling.
No, not even in hash!
The onion needs no defnese. II is
strong enough to speak for itself.
Consider it's history Think of the
criticisms of the finical and the pun

the long ages snice it found it's early
home in Asia Bulb and top it has
ALWAYS been in evidence and has fol-
lowed man in all his wanderings. Its
scent has put tang to every breeze.
Remember how the children of Is
rael got tired of mamma and longed
for the leeks and onions of Egypt?
There is no doubt that as soon as
they got settled in the Promised Land
they sent back and got some onion
sets.
