North Newburs Farmers Club.

On May II the Club were delightfully."-
entertained at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. Amos Parmenter, although
the day was rainy one, many friends
and members of the Maple River Club
were in attendance. AS the hour ar
rived Pres. Wixom called Club to order
and opened by:singing. Chaplain being
absent devotional exercises were omit
ted. Minutes of last meeting We're read
and approved. Report of committees.
J. S. Lemon on revision of list of mem
bers making it possible for each mem
Der to know just when their turn came
to entertain club, Mr.. Lemon read the
list as revised and changes seemed to
give satisfaction. Mr.. Lemon has the
thanks of the club for the completion
OF difficult task assigned him. Mrs. j.
J. Whelan being absent her paper was
carried over, Mrs. Der Devereaux also
Mrs. VIM. Devereaux and Mrs. Nc
Collum not being ready to respond, the
topics were carried over, Mrs. Rippy re-
sponded with beautiful quotation
from Tennyson. The Associatlonal
topic by j. s. Lemon, How do the
opportunities for obtaining a livelihood
and honorable citizenship on the farm
compare with similar conditions in
other callings". Mr.. Lemon had been
busy with other club work and had
devoted little time to the subject but
introduced the topic with few well
chosen remarks which created quite
lively discussion. Charles Cook
thought it the liveliest question of the
hour. If man feels himself adapted
to the work of farming it would be
well for him to take up that branch of
work and thought the conditions were
as good for livelihood and good
citizenship as any other calling. E. ],
Cook was glad he was farmer and
that his sons had taken to the farm, he
thought there were as many failures in
other lines of business as on the farm.
Remarks from Mr.. Wrigley, G. A.
Whelan and others. Next, 1.-The
Numerous Churches by Rev. Well
wood who gave us fine, interesting
talk on the topic. Rev. Goss being
absent his topic, SIS it advisable to
endorse paper for another and does it
tempt him to use that for which he is
unable to give security" was discussed
by p. Pelton, remarks by A. Parmenter
and others.
The question box conducted by l. L.
Mills brought out several questions and
lively discussions of the same. Mrs.
Wixon was not prepared with her
paper so it was carried over The roll
was called to which nearly all respond
ed to name. By request Mrs. Nc
Collough sang a solo, "When the

Nelson Loot Eiaht.

Philadelphia, May 23.-Battling Mel
son made his first appearance in the
ring in this city last night, and proved
a rather easy proposition for Abe At
tell of California. It was the old story
Of the finished boxer against fighter.
Attelps cleverness proved too much
for Nelson, and in the first four of the
six rounds of the bout the Californian
jabbed the western man at will. In
the fifth round Attell's strength began
to wane, but he was able to hold Mel
son easily.

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 in
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, ana when It 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.

State Credit Was Good

We run grieyous risks in running
a $450,000,o00 trade on $15,000,0O0 in
gold. State credit was used with bril-
liant success in 1913. When banks
were failing in Australia and gold dis
appeared, our government guaranteed
our bank paper and all went as well
as usual. Many younger liberals de-
mand a state bank of issue for public
works, every note to be secured on the
property it constructs and redeemable
(only) in state service of any kind at
any time; all issues to be retired at
low rate without interest, thus pro-
viding purely credit currency, repre-
senting assets, not metal.
In conclusion, have been very
brief on each point, perhaps too much
so. 1 will be very glad to furnish
further notes as required to such an
excellent paper and cause as yours,
as requested. With warmest regards
to all your workers, remain yours
sincerely.

FAR AHEAD IN REFORM
New Zealand Has Civil Pension SYSTEM State Credit
and Insurance, Arbitration and Pure
Self-Government

The first installment of letter writ
ten by Mervyn James Stewart of Ath
enree, New Zealand, on the progress o
reforms in that country, apeEed il
The Independent last week. The con
clusion of the letter is as follows:
Useful legislation Of, recent year.
provides for state coal mine, which
will work at cost, providing household
coal, the profits Of the coal ring beins
considered exorbitant and regulation
waste Of time. Only one mine is ,ye
worked, but the idea Isl to have bnt
near each of our four large cities. II
is to be self-supporting and no unfair
competition entered upon through
middlemen.
Then there is state fire insurance
of 1903, which has already reduced
the normal rate considerably. Hall
profits are to go to reserve and hall
to insurers triennially. Lloyds. Of
London, underwrite nine-tenths of al
risks. 1t is believed that the reduced
rate is double the actuarial risk even
yet. This Is again only a healthy com
petition. Socialists proposed to make
it universal and compulsory, but got
very little support.
State Coast Service Likely
A state coastal steamer service is
far from unlikely, to serve areas
where no railways, as our steamers
are very costly and inconvenient and
profits hinge in districts too small OF
remote to support locally owned
vessel. We are pretty well all coast
line, you know.
A good reform promised is increase
of the old-age pension, payable to al
British residents of twenty-five years
standing, 65 years of age, of good
character and with under $500 OF
property, graduated to nothing at
f540;. or wages, etc., income to cor.
respond. This costs G220,000 a year
or G51 head, and makes many PEG
pie on in years secure for the future
and it is a boon to many poor men
with young families and old parents
to support. The pension is enough
for bare living when the recipient is
In poor health, but it takes more dur.
ing illness, which must be allowed for
State life insurance and the public
trustee for widows, investments, etc.
are older measures, but very success
full. "Our government advances re
duced interest on mortgages to from
10 and IL per cent, and has made nc
losses. 1t is advocated by Earl Rob
erts for use in India and Egypt.
Arbitration is Handicapped

Citation and arbitration act as H. D

The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-06-15
Arbitration is Handicapped

do not think as much of the con-
Citation and arbitration act as H. d.
Lloyd did. 1t has abolished strikes
so far; but the arbitration court judge
who is always the junior member of
the supreme court, has usually Ieen
a capitalists attorney and If he ever
gave a serious Judgment against a
union what would happen? Judg-
ments for the men add slightly and
uniformly to the cost of production
and are not opposed by employers
Often they lead to cheaper ptoduc
ton by greater contentment and eff
cheney. Government employers, even
pitmen in the coal mines, are not un
der the act. They are not allowed to
strike and can only resign finally
This is not fair, it seems.
A useful proposal of government is
pension scheme for all government
employees, by compulsory weekly de
ductions from pay. Details are moi
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-06-15

worked out. but in practice such a
fund in the police force at the lowest
acturial rates has quickly built up an
unduly high reserve, as has similar
fund for railway employees, as the
members make a point of hunting out
specially good investments for the
money they provide and government
superyises against wild acts.
Pensions for the Infirm
A state pension against infirmity
seems to be the almost universal wish
of our people, but our politicians are
frightened at the vast sums involved,
save for their employees and bare food
for the respectable poor How good
pension can be secured to everyone,
and how the money is to be raised and
invested, if not by taxes annually, is
a matter that will be very urgent soon
after full direct legislation act is
passed. Effective voting will come
first; the third of the living issues"
the single tax, is on us and may
take century to finish, but large
general pension is the issue of the
future, as prohibition now substan-
TALLY assured, was twenty years ago.
How it would ease the keenness of
search for investment at all costs, and
the social counterpart of compulsory
labor for common objects you will see
in few seconds. I should imagine
the hale man or woman has no desire
to share his or her own or anyone
else's produce, but almost anyone on in
years will do or pay anything to be
assured against charity or starvation
in the days of feebleness; hence arises
''Frenzied Finance"

Tremendous Burdens

A word finally to show our ire
mendous burdens. We have, I be-
lieve, the best and most varied land
under the sun, with perfect self-gov-
eminent and military protection, no
race problem Of Importance or undue
share of non Anglo-Saxon elements.
Contra, our $4,000 carry a colonial
debt of 970 head, man woman and
child, besides municipal debts. We
have railways to some $100,000,000
and say, $50,000,000 on cheap mort
cages and such cash assets and most
of the rest is on roads and such like
works, enhancing land values, which
are liability, not an asset, nationally,
as shown by results of their respective
imitation or destruction by direct taxa
ton.

printing frame up to the gas light Is
rather tiresome, another disadvantage
being the uncertainty as to whether
an equal amount of light is reflected to
all parts of the frame. A New York
man has patented the exceedingly sim
ply and useful attachment for gas light
printing Of negatives shown In the H.
lustratlon. 1t can be attached to any
gas Jet and anyone can easily make
one. The holder for the printing frame
is arranged transversely on an arm,
this arm having small opening In one
end to fasten 1t to the gas jet In the
other end Of the arm Is longitudinal
slot, through which the holder slides
with means for clamplng the holder at
a desired point OF adjustment on the
arm. Provision Is made for printing
frames OF different sizes, a spring In
the holder holding the frame rigidly
in place. BY the use of this attach
ment a good print is assured, as the
negatives can be adjusted in posi-
ton to secure an equal amount of
light on all portions.
George w. Harse, Of New York, N.
Y, is the patentee.

the color Of the sea. As rule. bright
green indicates shoal water, the light
er the tint the more shallow the depth
Dark blue water is sign of great
depth. But even blue water at dis
tance takes on dark green hue.
Careful observations have shown that
even In the deepest water the basal
color Is some tint of green. In our
own experience we have observed that
when the lead was thrown in mid
ocean, where the surface color was
blue, the plunge revealed a flash of
brilliant green in the opening water.

illustration Of the frame is shown

Collapsible Megaphone,

The invention of the graphophone
brought the megaphone into more ex-
tended use, until now it can be OBJ
tanned in all sizes and shapes. Some
Of these megaphones are made large
enough to produce sounds that can be
heard in any part Of large hall. Col
lege students especially find them use
letic games, as the volume of sound
produced by hundred megaphones
with as many students on the other
