of the so-calied learned professions,
and is yearly grasping more difficult
problems. What was once expected of
a single professor of agriculture now
requires all the time of Il staff of spe-
c~ialiSts in it's various branches. The
colleges need right now 200 men each
worth from $1,000 to 5000 annually,
and IAN not get them. Other profess
siOnS are full, agriculture needs men.
There are places enough, but the man
must be worth the money. The great
railway systems want 5000 men
trained in agriculture. They want
fully forty men to study the problems
along their routes for the benefit of the
farmers there, in order that the prod
ucts may be increased. thus to liz
crease the transportation.
That we have not reached the limit
of production is we'll shown by the
fact that 254 bushels of corn have
been raised on an acre OF land. The
two extremes of high production and
low average show the o for the
trained expert.
The South is anxiOusly looking for

knowledge of agriculture has come in
the last fifty years and has worked
wonders. The colleges train the men
for the stations and the stations and

HOW TO BE HAPPY

Many of us miss the joys that
might be ours by keeping our eyes
fixed on those of other people. No
one can enjoy his own opportunities
for happiness while he lis enviOus Of
another'S. We lose a great deal of
the joys Of living by not cheerfully
accepting the small pleasures that
come to us every day instead of long
ing and wishing for what belong to
others. We do not take any pleasure
in our own modest horse and carriage
because we long for the automobile or
victoria that some one else owns.
The edge is taken off the enjoyment
of our own little home because we are
watching the palatial residence Of our
neighbOr. We can get no satisfaction
out of trolley ride into the country
or a sail on river steamer because
some one else can enjoy the luxury of
his own carriage or yacht. Life has
It's full measure for every one Of us if
we would only make up our minds
to make the most Of every opportunity
that comes our way instead Of longing
for the things that come our neigh
boris way.-SucceSS.

LET'S ALL SQUARE UP!

Every man who is in business or out
of it, who truS5s or has been trusted,
is entitled to his pay, and is in duty
bound to discharge his current Obliga-
tionS at least once year. January
first is the annual settling up time.
Al this time every mechanic should
have what's due him, ali running
accounts are expected TO be squared
by cash:or note, and everything ready
for another years business. Any
man who is not willing to settle once
a year, is not reasonable or just, and
is not doing INTO others as he would
like to be done by. 1t is duty that
we all owe to each other, and ncarlv
every man can discharge this duty if
all put forth an earnest effort TO dc
SO. A running account that is more
than year old, is detriment to the
debtor and just cause for i'll nature
and criticism by the creditor. If we
have been accommodated it is Oul
duty to show our appreciation by
discharging the obligation. If we
have accommodated others we are
justified in urging, or even forcing d
settlement. Therefore, let's be square
with one another by squaring up anG
beginning anew.

A STORMY SESSION
Electric E Water Company
Stockholders Discuss Condi.
ti0nS and Accounts.

At the adjourned annual session of
stockholders in the Electric and
Water Company of this city met on
Wednesday night in the council
chamber. 1897 shares out of 1912
were represented. After reading the
minuteS.of the last session the report
of the secretary and treasurer, which
had been printed and distributed to
each stakeholder, came up for general
discussion. What followed reminded
the writer of town meeting in a
country district where the freeholderS
get together to discuss town affairs.
A few of the stockholders apparently
had some misunderstanding as to the
general condition of the company,
they appeared TO feel that something
was wrong In the company'S finances.
Remarks were made pro and con on
various items in the report which were
finally explained by MeSsrS. Geo. w.
Paulus, ii. e.. Wipperman, and Geo.
p. Hambrecht, we believe to the
satisfaction of everybody.
On motion committee of three was
appointed by the chair to check up
the reports, and they were also
authorized if they deemed it neces-
sary, to engage competent book
keeper or accountant to help them in
this work. The chair appointed as
such committee, Messrs. L. NJ Nash,
NJ. II. Jackson and E. p. Arpin. A
motion was made and carried that
the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Electric and Water
Company hereafter take place on the
second Tuesday after the first Mon
day in January.
Mayor Nash reported that At the
last meeting of the council they
had elected as directors in said
Electric Light Company, Messrs. Geo.
NJ. Hill and Fred BoSsert. On motion
the secretary was authorized to cast
| the ballot of Stockholders present for
these gentlemen as two of the
ulTeClOIS lOf biic cIiSulHS year. L lie
vote was cast and they were declared
elected. Ballot was then taken TO
elect three more directors which
| resulted as follows: j. A. Gaynor, ID.
| d. Conway and II. G.. Wipperman
