Our Artesian Wells

j. w. Smith was a caller Saturday
and upon inquiry dropped the inform
alton that his arteslan we'll had fallen
Off IN flow about half since it was put
down IL couple of years ago. Mr..
Smiths farm is in Plaintield township
about five miles east of town.
AS has been MANY times suggested
by the GRAPHIC, we thoroughly be-
lieve that the proper way to handle
these small two-inch artcsian we'll is
to conserve the supply of water. State
Geologist Todd agrees with the
GRAPHIC On this point-and for either
large or small w~ells-though years ago
he held that the ~arteSian basin was
ineXhaustible.
In the case of the Smith we'll, Mr..
Smith says that the we'll always ran
clear, with no rolling or sediment in
the water, which leads to the conclu.
sion that such a well could be shut
Off without the slightest danger OF
clogging or damaging the we'll at the
bottom. But the valve should be
closed gradually so as not to make a
sudden pressure at the bottom Of the
we'll.
There is little, if anything, to be
gained by allowing the wells to flow
uninterruptedly, and everything to
lose-that. the flow. 1t is true that
in some cases other wells might be
supping the same vein of water and
eXllausting it and there would be
nothing gained by shutting Off ones
own well for the benefit OF somebody
else. But there is d strong chance
that any we'll may be an independent
one and in such a case the more the
water is conserved the longer the life
of the we'll.
When the natural gas wells were
first put down in Ohio thirty years
or more ago. everybody thought the
gas was inexhaustiblc and people who
had the wells let the gas burn night
and day. The result was that such
wellSsoon ceased to give out gas and
were abandoned. Later wells which
have been handled intelligently by
conserving the supply and not wasting
it are us good today as when first put
down.
Hasten the day when some farmer
will TRY this plan and compare results
/ with the cver-llowing wells.

Ing now in session is discussing with
warmth the need that Norway, in pro-
lection of her commercial interests, be
granted distinct consular representa-
ton abroad; and Oscar, who is king
OF Norway az we'll as king of Sweden,
and to whom the Norwegians have
looked for support, owing to indisposi-
ton, has Just handed the reins of gov
eminent over to his son, Crown Prince
Gustaf, whose attitude towards what
he terms the ''rebellious Norwesians''
IS pretty we'll known. Emperor Will
liam II. is the ideal of the crown
prince, while, it is need ess to say, NO
such ideal holds with the liberty-lov-
ing Norwegians.
Notwithstanding the discomfort Of
the Norwegians, and the rather un-
friendly attitude Of the Swedes towards
their nighbors, the period the two
countries have been under one king
has been for each nation a period of
steady development. Alex Lille, a
Finnish v:"iter, remembering the woes
of his own land, speaks thus of these
years: During the past century. at
the beginning of which the two nations
We're united, they have enjoyed an un-
interrupted peace, which should have
rendered them the happiest people on
earth. Inwardly free in spirit, and out
wardly strengthened because of the
union, the two nations have attained
q degree of culture comparing favor
ably with that of greater nations: in
deed, in certain respects, SURPRISING
it. Norway's glory is attested by her
great poets, and to the stranger she
stands as the expression of the sublime
beauty of the northern nature and the
richness of the northern spirit
Sweden and Norway have been un-
der one king since 1914, but by the
terms of agreement each retained
a separate parliament This union was
brought about by that unique individ-
ual, Bernadotte-French marshal,
Swedish general, and last king of
Sweden and Norway. When the Dano-
Swedish war was ended in 1914 the
treaty of Kiel coded Norway, which the
Danes held as a province, to Sweden;
but the Norwegians denied Denmark's
right SO to dispose Of them. It was
only after negotiations were carried on
directly with Norway the latter was
willing to enter into union with Swe-
den. When the Danes coolly made dis
position Of Norway, Prince Christian
Frederick, believing the Norwegian
crown should not be thus carelessly
Felinquished, assumed the title Of king
until a constitutional assembly could
be convocated. The people intr,sted

Norway. Bernadotte knew that Swe.
den in war OF conquest might fail,
and preferred Norway should feel the
weight OF overwhelming opposition.
To Sweden's appeal, Russia promised
an army corps OF 10000 men. England
blockaded the whole coast of Norway
with the object of starving out indie
pendence. At the same time a commits
sion, consisting Of one envoy from each

Norwegians and Danes were in league

people that had given themselves free
constitution, elected king, and were
making ready to resist invasion by the

condition of affairs existing in Nor.
way, with Bernadotte hurrying toward
the Norwegian frontier, the ENJOYS,
men Of adapability, attempted to ar
rive at terms Of peace rather than un-
conditional submission to the terms OF
the treaty. The ENJOYS recommended
to Bernadotte capitulation, and on his
refusal they washed their hands of the
