Johnston Land Co. The purchase price
being S3,10O, or nearly $40 per acre.
Emil Klein has built a house and barn
this spring and later on expects to start
work building an addition to his house.
The one he has needs to be consider
ably enlarged to meet with his plans for
this year.
Spring is here and the farmers are get

several farmers of this vicinity have
been narrowing and discing.
Last week Frank Sporting got a bar
gain in farm work horses, buying a team
for 1915, were others around here are
paying from $500 to $500 per team.
There is no question but what horses for
the springs work are higher this year
than they have been in the past.
Another real estate transfer in this
township is the purchase by Nick Frost
of a fine quarter section farm from Otto
Rueger in Section 16, for $1,000. He will
move On to the place this spring. MIR.
Frost has also closed the sale of his home
farm to Mr.. Rueger for $1,000, from which
it would appear that good lands in South
Dresden are holding their " with the
price of dirt in other parts of Cavalier
county.

LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN.
Excellent Advice Given by Writer in
Good Housekeeping.

We must not only be ready to talk
to and advise children, but also to
listen while they talk, says a writer
in Good Housekeeping. Give the same
attention as to your most welcome
guest. Often some little incident of
the day related starts a conversation
quite broad and impersonal, and I am
amazed at the grasp and reasoning
of the mind of my son, not yet six,
on the why's and wherefores and right
and wrong of things. Have l not rea-
son to hope that the talks we have
now, truly heart to heart" will help
him to consider and decide for the
right in after years? The acts and
conversation of grown persons seem
ofttimes coarse and defective when
judged through the eyes and ears Of
a child. l have to be constantly max

Hall TO the Chef!

A glad hand" TO our old friend the
Hon. EDWARD ATKINSON. He stands
upon the battlements Of his Brookline
observatory. The pure, chill air Of
political economy initiates his nostrIls.
Statistics thicker than gypsy moths
that Strow the woods Of Saugus float
down upon him.
He appointed a commission OF three
women expert stenographers to investi-
gate the amount and cost OF proper
clothing for a woman for four years.
This period was selected so as to include
the wear Of outer garments for four
yeaB and others for q shorter time.
This is the revised and official list made
by the commission:
Eight hats. trimmed By the Wearer; eight
pain OF shoes to1fordsl eight pas OF high shoes;
two outer garments for summer; two outer gar
menu for winter; sixteen cotton shin waists;
twenty -four pairs Of stockings; two kinono';
four cotton shirt wsls, suits; ten undsrthrts;
forty eight handkerchists; eight corset covers;
neckvear. eight night gowns; two umbrellas;
eight pairs Of cotton gloves six winter undervests;
twelve cousts: six summer underests eight pains
OF kid gloves eight pairs OF Tubbers: sixteen pairs
OF cotton drawers: one muh: belts buckles. &C"
Divide by four, and you have the
annual quota, the average cost Of which
a. computed from the estimates Of four
Boston department stores is $o5.
Il il not for ineXperts to NEEDLE with
these high matters; but it is curious to
the barbarian mind that the catalogue
Of proper clothes for women doesn't
provide for skirts, petticoats and things,
or even contain quadrennial appropria-
ton for Boston bag, the very basis
and foundation Of society in Massachu-
setts. Are these and other missing
kinks covered by the charity OF '&c.'r
These perhaps unworthy doubts may
be dismissed lightly. Sitting az an
expert commission, Mr.. ATKINSON finds
that an adult woman may be nOurished
completely with food Of an aPpetizing
quality at a cost Of 3sS a year, OF, II she
must have luxuries, on $50 year. A
slight cut in luxuries will give her the

The Tides and the Canal.

The Chief ENGINEER Of the Panama
Canal, recently from the lsthmus, was
reported on Thursday as saying:
The difference In tide between the Pacinc and
Caribbean can be controlled BY tide locks although
this is not necessary with sea level canal. The
tide IN the Paclhc rises ten feet higher and falls ten
feet lower than Il docs IN the Caribbean. The canal
however. viii he forty seven miles long and will
take up this difference We do not place locks al
SANDY Hook to control the tide In the Hudson. and
that river Is always navgSble. So Will the canal
be ravigAbe at all times
Mr. WALLACE's remarks on the tide
question lead our neighbor the Tribune
70 express the opinion that the chic! OBJ
lection 70 n sea level canal project is
now removed:
There has been an outcry raised against the
former plan the tide Lowell canal based chiefly upon
the fact thai the tide OF the PAolno rises at times
ten feet above and falls ten feet below the level OF
the Caribbean. That. some have said, would re-
quIrs the construction Of tide locks or else there
would be perfectly Irresistible and destructive
torrent rushing to and fro In the cAnal-a regular
Niagara mnlrac".-
After quoting the Chief Engineers
reply TO this alleged outcry, the Tribune
continues:
We really owe Mr.. WALLACE a debt Of gratitude
for calling attention 70 that point which ought to
have been perfectly obvious to everybody, but
which people without number appear 10 have over.
looEsd-chisny. we suppose, because Il was so
simple"
Mr.. VILLAGES remarks on the effect
Of tides in sea level canal at Panama
are sound and sensible, but as affecting
the main question they have not the i'm
portance which the Tribune attaches TO
them. We have heard no very general
outcry excited ~ the bugaboo OF the
inrushing tides. When the sea level
canal at Suez was proposed the project
was violently opposed because Of the
difference Of level between the Mediter-
ranean and the Red Sea, The ditch was
dug and experience has shown that the
inset Of water is a negligible factor. The
same thing, no doubt would be apparent
at Panama.
The mistake Of our contemporary ia in
supposing that those who hesitate to
approve a canal policy Of sea level or
nothing" are Influenced 'chisAy" by
apprehensions about tho tides. That
consideration may b, dismissed as Mr.
WALLACE points out, b. intelligent
beings. Much more important are the
questions Of excavation at all points
along the canal line TO the SEA level, in
volving an enormous increase Of cost
and an unknown extension Of the timo
which must sllpso before the waterway
shall becomo availlblo for tbs purposes
Of commc-ce ami national offence.
More light on thJsD questions is what
the peopl, want cal expsot 70 obtain

BUILDING DEPARTMENT LAW.
Recent Accidents Attributed TO the Per-
mltted Use cf LIme-Cement Mortar.

Recent Accidents Attributed to the Per-
mitted Use ~ Lime-Cement Mortar.
To TIE ED1ToB or THE sUN Str; In the
matter OF the buildings which recently fell
while In process Of erection in this borough
and in The Bronx ! beg leave to submit the
following:
In my opinion. based upon considerable
experience, the buildings fell because the
mortar froze befors II had begun 70 set. and
the cause for its not setting sooner OF AZ all
after II had frozen was the admiXture Of
freshly slaked lime with the cement mortar.
The building law permits the addition Of
lime 70 ocment mortar. and some architects
allow IL in their specifications. But the build
ing code and the architect do not contemplate
its use In the manner commonly observed in
this city.
II is well known that a bricklayer can lay
many more bricks in lime-cement mortar than
in pure cement mortar. and freshly slakedlime
warns up the mixture % that it works fairly
well in weather as cold as a degrees Fahren-
helt even though the bricks be frosted
A hollow Ia made In the sand heap and q
barrel OF lime slaked therein; while still
steaminE and shaking it ia mixed with six 20
nine times It's bulk Of sand and, in most cases.
thus prepared. steaminC hot and filled with
unHlaked particles OF lime. Is used in run
ming up the brickwork. Let i be assumed
A NJ. and 4 O'Clock p NJ, the Thermometer
during those hours re gistering not below q
degrees. The particles Of lime In the mortar
in the wall continue shaking and expanding
and thus break down the initial set OF the
mortar The lower temperature al night
freezes the mortar before Gay setting has
taken place and by the time the frost Il out
of the mortar on the next day or following
days there is no set in IL and consequently
no hold upon the bricks.
The mixing Of fresh lime with cement is the
prime cause Of much poor masonTy,the nat
ure OF the two Is 40 antaEonistlc that each
destroys the eficacy Of the other. Most
walls 30 laid have but little more strength
than II laid in mortar OF sand and water alone,
slight settlement due 20 rain. insecure
foundations or any other cause may throw
the walls out OF plumb and they fall.
I see no reason why the Superintendent o.
Buildings or his inspectors should be held
responsible for these failures There may
have been violations Of the building code In
other directions but none IL needed TO eI-
plain such oatGstrophes.
For the protection OF builders who do not
permit the use Of freshly slaked lime In NOR
tar, those builder who do use II should be
held responsible for their methods.
