LOCAL PAPER FIRST

Hearts Chicago 1mertcaa of recent
issue contained the following editorial
which has been created no little com
ment OH the part of the press generally
because of the fact that it shows spirit
of fairness which does not always charac'
terize the Americans editorials. 1t says:
at would be misfortune to the coun.
try il the few big papers in the big cities
should interfere seriously with the pub
lication of the valuable and intelligent
local newspapers-for upon these local
newspapers the welfare of the country
very largely depends. The metropolitan
daily cannot possibly know the needs OF
the various localities and small cities.
Only the local newspapers can protect
local needs and influence local opinion
OF course We are very glad to have as
many people as possible read the Chicago
.1merican in the big cities. But we hope
that inevery small town and every village
there will be enough intelligence and
public spirit on the part of the local in
habitants to support earnestly and en-
Enthusiastically the best local newspaper,
giving encouraging appreciation and a
good living to the local editor, who alone
can repre-ent apd defend justice and
public spirit among his neighbors. The
man is unfortunate who cannot afford to
take two newspapers at to-day's prices.
lie who can afford only one newspaper,
in our opinion. should display his sense
Of duty to his locality by taking the

WORLDS SMALLEST ENGINE

The smallest stationery engine in the
world, SO far as its maker can learn, rests
entirely on a five-cent piece. 1t is owned
and was made by John III. Cunningham,
a ieweler, of Eaton, which is small town
10 miles north of Muncie. Cunningham
has fad for making miniature ma
chinery.
The little engine operates at remark
able rate of speed under a pound of
steam. So small are some OF the parts
that a magnifying glass is necessary to
make a proper examination of them.
The screws that hold the parts together
are made from needles; the thread being
so fine as to defy the naked eye. The
screws are fraction of a millimeter in
diameter. The fywi.eel measures about
three-eights of an inch in diameter. 1t
was turned from steel by Cunningham,
who says it is the largest wheel that the
engine will turn.
The engine has one-sixteenth of an
inch stroke, the cylinder head measures
OF an inch in diameter, while
the capped cylinder head measures a
fourth of an inch. The striking boxes
are packed with lint scraped from silk
thread, cotton being too coarse for the
purpose.

BECAUSE YOUR CREDIT Is GOOD

Some newspaper subscribers often Won
der, no doubt, why publisher will keep
sending the paper when the subscription
has expired. The reason is this: When
the subscription is paid to certain time,
the time expires and the paper is stopped,
it looks as if the publisher doubted the in
tegrity OF the subscriber; and nine times
out of ten the subscriber will give the
publisher ''calling down" for insinuat-
ing that his credit is no good. Rather
than cast any reflections against neigh
boris honesty to pay small debt it has
become necessary for county newspapers
to continue sending the paper after the
time has expired. The city weeklies and
dailies do not generally follow this rule,
as their subscribers live at distance and
besides they are not acquainted with them
and do not know their financial standing.
One should deem it an honor to know
that his credit is not doubted, when the
publisher continues to send the paper.
Should the subscriber desire to have his
paper discontinued he should inform the
publisher and remit to date, if any
amount is owing.

PARTRIDGEs IN CAPTIVITY

Dr. Clifton F. Hodge, professor OF biol
ogy at Clark University, is having re-
markable success in his efforts toward
demonstrating the rufiled grouse, or par
fridge. The latest achievement is the
raising Of a second generation of the
birds while they are in captivity, five
strong. healthy birds having been
hatched two weeks ago by the mother
partridge.
More could scarcely be desired than to
have pair mate and produce their young
in the back yard Of city home. So far
as is known, the birds have acted exactly
the same as their brothers in the woods,
even to the curious act OF drumming
They are just as large as those in the
woods and are lively and contented
One of the old male birds seems to be
especially delighted when DIR. Hodge en-
tiers the inclosure in which they are kept
and plays with the bird as one would
with pet cat. In no other case, so far
as is known, has this species been any
where near so perfectly domesticated.
Doctor Hodge began these experiments
in the spring of 1908, when he obtained
some partridge eggs from the woods and
Matched them out under bantam hen.
AT the time he was laughed at for trying
it. But after the chicks were Matched
out and it was seen that they were being
raised, a member Of the Massachusetts
Fish and Game Protective Association
who resides in Worcester reported the af-
fair to meeting of the directors, which
then voted 5000 to be given to DR.. Hodge
in aid of his experiments.
He is using it in enlarging his inclo
sures with view to aiding such work as
the Association is doing, especially bv
eventually setting the birds free in the
covers OF the State, and perhaps in our
city parks. Doctor Hodges purpose in
the experiments, so far as his own work
is concerned, is more especially to study
scientifically the biographical relations
OF the species-its foods, habits and in
stincts and the possibilities OF its domesti
cation.

Want TROLLEY
LINE EXTENDED
Residents of Port Penn Anx-
iouS 10 Have
CARS RUN TO THAT PLACE

Residents of Port Penn are extremely
anxious that the Wilmington, New
Castle and Southern Railway shall ex-
tend its line to and through that place to
Augustine Pier, distance of four and
one-half miles from Delaware City.
The proposition has been discussed
time and again by holders of property in
that vicinity and they have gone SO far
as to express their willingness to give the
railway company right through their
lands if it decides to build the extension.
Arguments are Twofold
Arguments in favor of the line are
twofold; first, that it would enable fisher
men at Port Penn, during slad season, to
send their fish direct by trolley to con-
venient point of shipment to foreign mar
kets instead of hauling them in wagons
to Delaware City,. as they are now COM
PEELED to do, and secondly, that it would
result in the reopening OF Augustine Pier
as summer resort, giving it direct COM
munication with Wilmington and there
by creating much travel during the sum-
mer months. In fact those who favor an
extension OF the line claim that the cost OF
building it would be more than paid dur
ing one spring and summer season.
In view of these facts it is not i'm
probable that committee of prominent
property holders and others interested in
the proposition will seek a conference
with officials of the railway company and
urge them to build the road and may

sTORK CLUB IN INDIANA

Wanatah, in Indiana, town of 800 in
habitants, has an organization for the
purpose of popularizing the ideas of Pres
ident Roosevelt against race suicide, says
a Wanatah special dispatch. The club
was supposed by the residents of the town
to have been orga lized for purely social
purposes, but with the remarkable in
crease of the birth rate in the families of
the members the true purpose of the or
ganization began to be suspected Pub
lie statements were re, e lily made that the
club was organized to popnlarize Presi-
dent Roosevelt's ideas. The emblem of
the society is the stork, and President
Roosevelt will be requested to suggest a
motto.

100000 CHILD FIDDLERs

The introduction of the violin to the
scholars of English elementary schools
has been attended with great success. So
great, indeed, that 100000 children are
now developing love of this branch of
music, aud it is not too much to expect
that from this army of yiolinists one day
may spring real British genius.
A private firm supplies the children
with violins, piccolos and mandolins on

The appointment of M. Witte, vice NJ.
Murayieff, as Chief Russian plenipoten-
tiary to the coming peace conference is
regarded as an exceptionally favorable
indication that a lasting peace will be the
result of the conference. Although it has
been deemed impolitic to discuss it, it is
now admitted that grave apprehension
was felt over the selection OF NJ. Muir
avieff and the Russian peace party had
from the first urged that NJ Witte, who
opposed the war with Japan originally
and who has long been sincere advocate
of peace, be substituted. The arrange
ments are being rapidly perfected for the
meeting of the conference which is to oc-
cur early in August at the Portsmouth
navy yard The palace is ideally situated
for snch meeting. The Navy yard oc-
cnpies an island in the mouth of the har-
Dor where none may land without per-
mission from the comnandant aud in
trudes can thus be kept at a distance.
