RIFLE is AGAIN

RIFLE is AGAIN threatening
to incorporate and a New Castle paper
twits her for her foolishness (socalled. \
There is no question nut that valid
arguments can be urged against the
Incorporation of small town but
while there are some disadvantages
there are many compensating benefits,
not the least of which is the question
of health. Rife has suffered much
from sickness in the past because in
the absence of the necessary police
regulations it was impossible to force
people to comply with the require.
ments of the state board of health
In view of her past experience it
would seem to be, not a question of
whether Rife should incorporate, but
how she can afford not to incorporate.

LAST WEEK THE POST stated in
effect that several persons signed the
Dougan statement under misrepre-
sentationl. This is true but we do
not blame Mr.. Dongan for that. IN
fact we do not now blame anyone as
it seems the statements We're made N
good faith under mistaken idea
Mr. Napier thonght onr article Ie-
flected on him but this was not in
tended at all. The Post takes it for
granted that when Mr. Napier said
that Mr.. Dougan's candidacy was
sanctioned by the entire board and
the heretofore dissenting elements and
that it would prevent contest he be
lieved these things to be true. Mr..
Napier was simply mistaken and
neither he nor anyone else could pre-.
vent another candidate entering the
field. AT all events the Post favors
Mr. Dougan believing him the better
man for the position.

ROpy Milk After Setting.

Bacteria in one form is probably re-
sponsible for the ropy milk that we
hear about coming after setting for
the cream. In such cases the first
thing to do is to thoroughly dlsnfect
the stables by the use OF carbolic acid
and then thorough whltewushing Of
walls and ceiling Then turn atten-
ton to the utensils used-the milk
pals and the other vessels. The
chances are they at the bottom Of the
trouble and need scalding repeatedly
with hot water. and then more
cleansing. such rs only the sun will
give. If these remedies abate the trou-

member that this scalding with hot
water should be done daily with every
vessel used in the dairy. Hot water
and sun are death to bacteria.

GREAT TIME SAVER.
singular Telegraph System Now Being
Tried in England.

United States Consul I.iefcld at Fret
burg. Germany, has made n report to
the State Department in regard to a
new high-speed telegraph instrument
now being tested by the British postal
officials, which 1t is claimed will revo-
utlonize the telegraph service of to-
day. The invention is said to be as
great an advance on the Morse instru-
nent rs that was upon its predecessor,
the single needle.
The new system uses a paper tape
which. instead of being hand punched,
is perforated by an instrument. The
tape at the other end Of a wire Is SINH
larry perforated instead Of being mark
ed by dots and dashcs. This tape can
be placed upon another machine
which converts the perforatiOns into
printed words on telegraph forms at
the rate Of about 100 to 100 words Il
minute. TIL" system is four or five
times ns fast rs the Morse. and con

Garden Hints.

The suckers Of gooseberries. currants
and red raspberries should be rigidly
pulled.
In making the home garden do not
overlook garlic, chives, shallots. herbs.
etc, as they are exceedingly desirable
for favoring purposes.
This seasons growth of raspberrv
canes should be pinched off and they
will throw out fruit laterals. This is
important. for on 1t depends next sea-
sons crop of berries.
Early varieties of dwarf peas can
be grown between the rows of tomato
plants. BY the time the tomatoes are
large enough to occupy the ground the
peas will be out of the way. The pea
vines may be removed or left as a
mulch for the tomatoes.
In May the seeds OF sweet corn and
all the wrinkled varieties of peas
should be sown and little later Gu
cumbers, melons, squashes. pumpkins
and gourds may be put in the open
ground. A fork full OF we'll rOtted ma
nure in the hill is the proper food for
these plants.

forated paper is the cause Of the type
writer keys going down and the ham
mers containing the letters striking the
telegraph form and producing letters
and words.
One Of the effects of the use of this
instrument, provided ii be found ultl-
mately to come up to expectations,
would be a great saving Of time. as a
wire would be capable of carrying four
or five times rs many words as at pres
ent. and fewer persons would conse-
quently be required to perform the
work. Any person able to operate a
typewriter can transmit messages by
the new system.

CLOVER ENRICHEs A SOIL,
When Plowed Under Green, 1t IL q
Excellent Fertilizer

When Plowed Under Green, 1t IL an
Excellent Fertilizer.
A bulletin from the central expert
ment farm, Ottawa, Ont. contains Il
discussion Of the profitableness Of
growing and turning of clover crops.
Extensive experiments in this limo
have been carried OIL at that farm for
a period Of over eight years, and the
results gathered therefrom contain a
considerable amount of practical in
formation and data. The advantages
derived from blowing under clover are
briefly stated by the station as fol-
lows:
]. There il an enrichment of the soil
by the addition Of nitrogen obtained
from the atmosphere.
2. There is an increase in the store
of available mineral plant food. phos-
phOric acid, potash and lime in the
surface Of the soil taken by the clover
in part from depths not reached by
the shallOwer root systems of other
farm crops.
3. There Is a large addition Of
humus. whereby the soil is made more
retentive of moisture. warmer and
better aerated, conditions favorable to
vigorous crop growth. Humus also
furnishes the material best adapted
for the development of these forms Of
germ life that act so benehcially in the
soil.
4. AS an agent for deepening and
mellowing soils no crop gives such sat
isfactory results as clover.
). Glover serves a useful purpose as
a catch crop during the autumn
months. when the ground would be
otherwise bare. retaining fertilizing
material brought down by the rain,
and also that formed in the soil dur
ing the summer months much of
which would otherwise be lost through
the teaching action Of rains.
&. As shown conclusively by the
particulars obtained by careful expert
ments over number Of years with the
more important farm crops the plow-
ing under of green clover has most
marked effect In increasing the soils
productiveness.

BIN SEARCH OF LIvlNGSr0NE's lREE{

Mr.. Weatherby, the explorer has
Just returned from Africa, where he
has been for eleven years. the only
white man among hosts Of blacks. In
that long period he has had many
thrilling adventures, says the London
Daily News. He has succeeded in
making corrections on the map of the
interior Of the Dark Continent and in
discovering the spot where the heart
of the great Livingstone was buried.
the locality of which had been lost.
He has been instrumental In raising
permanent memorial to the famous
missionary, in place of the decayed
tree which marked the site. and no
has brought back to the British Mn
scum that part Of the tree which bore
the original inscription, cut by the ma
t1ves, who loved and mourned their
white chief.
My object, says Mr.. Weatherby. was
to circumnavigate Bangweolo lake and
TO hnd the spot where Livingstone's
heart was buried. Glave. the Amer

accomplished both tasks. Old Mshaota
the chief who helped me find the LW-
ingstoile tree told me a strange story.
He remembered Livingstone, who. he
averred, was shot. Everybody, he
said. knew that 1t was so.
One Of my greatest friends was
Mewenge, chief, but it was some
time before we understood each other.
He had never seen white men. but
had heard Of them, and when sent
word was coming, he grew much
alarmed When went to his tent he
rushed ont, and, selling me by the
arm, slashed his AK over my head into
tree behind me. The next minute
he pulled up my shirt sleeve to see IL
my arm was white. That gave ME
time to tell him he might kill me IL
he wanted to. but that 1t would be
more interesting not TO-
l also had "scary" greeting from
kasoma, a much-dreaded chief. l set
out by boat to visit him, with nine
men. When we neared the village,
and two thousand armed men rushed
to the elge Of the lake. l found we
had left our rifles behind us. With my
heart in my mouth, jumped ashore
alone. AS l stVod before the chief |
could see his heart throbbing in his
naked chest, and l knew he was in
as bad way as l myself
Good morning. How do you do:"
l shouted
The chief gave signal. and I put
my hands in my pockets to meet the
end calmly. The same moment the
chief and every man clapped their
hands in unison, knelt down and bowed
their heads.
After all, Il little bluff is a great

who had rifles, each waiting either for
me to move or for his neighbor to be-

to bring me a shot-cartridge, and,

to the chief, with the message that he
would be more likely to hit me IL he
used that instead of bullet. The
joke set the whole lot laughing
