The '.Pest Hole" Moved.

The Old Town Hall, which has
lately been so e]oquently and
impressively described as a
pest hole by the Gazette, has
been moved to another part OF
the new public school grounds.
The move was made by Sontag's
Lafayette Concert Band to clear
the view and ground in front Of
the music stand.
The Old Town Hall is not a
building of pretentious or pre-
possessing appearance, it is
true, but The Advertiser prefers
to apply a less harsh epithet to
it than that of pest hole" We
would rather speak of the Old
Town Hall in more considerable
terms, remembering as we do
it's close association with the
past history of the town, always
gladly and uncomplainingly serv-
ing as a place of meeting and of
shelter for many of our most
respected and faithful public
servants, who labOred often and
planned well within it's walls for
the public veal.
There will come a time, we
know, when the Old Town Hall
will have to be laid aside, and
in it's place our eyes shall rest
upon an enduring structure of
graceful and imposing lines; but
we shall never think any less of
the Old Town Hall for all that
the Old Town Hall that our
fathers thought good enough for
a meeting place for them so long
as the public revenues we're all
needed for the more pressing
public necessities of streets,
sidewalks, schools, etc.
Yes; we feel most kindly to-
ward the Old Town Hall-and
though its days of usefulness
may be fast reaching an end,
for the sake of the service it has
rendered we will watch its pass
ing with a grateful sense of its
past usefulness.

SANG IN OPEN STREETS.
Vienna Stage Celebrities Test Pub.
lies Judgment of Music.

A merry quartette Of performers
made an interesting experiment in the
streets of Vienna, says the New Or
leans Times Democrat, in order tC
see with their own eyes how the gen
eral public would appreciate the high
ent artistic talent if it were exhibited
in the open street, unannounccd and
unadorned.
Miss Gerda Waldo, prima donna OF
the Vienna stage; Louis Trcumann
the popular comedian of the Carl the
ater; Edward Eysler, the composer
and Alfred Dcutsch-German, the play
wright, arrayed in the garb OF ordinary
street musicians, made a tour through
the principal streets Of the city. The
composer, Eyslcr, performed the du.
ties Of organ-grinder, While the others
sung a repertoire which included
such well-known songs as "Geh, Mach
Dsin Fenster Anf" (Go, Open Your
Wirdow'), "KuSsen Ist Keine Sund''
CKissing Is No SIM and "Jetzt
spiclts Uns an Tanz" (Now They Play
and Dance for Us').
The incognito of the celebrated band
remained undiscovered and the days

which they laughingly divided among
themselves. Their previous doubts as
to the ability Of the public to judge
of the value of art urassistcd by the
atrical effect have now given way to
settled conviction. But, nevertheless,
it would have been interesting to find
out what the days takings would have
amounted to hod the qVartctte openly
announced themselves as the leading
lights of the Austrian musical world.

GOOD IN "ROok FARMING"
Notable Increase Made In Production
OF Crops.

John r. Spears shows now by "book
farming" the earth is being compelled
to yield it's increase. He says: For
a crop of potatoes, in 1901, according
to an article printed in that year, $50
bushels per acre was considered salts
factory to the farmer, which at Is
cents bushel amounts to $1J2.50 an
acre. Unfortunately, there arc yet
many farmers who consider $50 bush
els satisfactory, but the best growers
now produce 900. and there arc men
who obtain more than that yield year
after year. It can be shown that even
400 bushels of potatoes is not the limit
that can be obtained. From the re-
ports of various agricultural expert
ment stations, it appears that the
Canadian experimental farms, near Of
tawa, hold the record in potato pro-
duction. There the yield on small
plots. carefully managed, rose as high
as 772 bushels an acre.
"In turnips, which was another crop
considered, the yield was said to be
400 bushels usually for each acre in
1901. With present-day cultivation a
crop of from 500 to COO bushels is
gathered. Where mangles produced
800 bushels, modern methods have
turned out more than fifty tons, or
say 1900 bushels. In field beans the
development has been relatively very
small, but as cultivated r2H there are
few crops that pay truck growers
higher sums for the ground occupied
than string or snap beans.
"For it is d poor variety that will
not give a quart Of salable pods for
each foot length of drill, and drills
may be made two feet apart. At S
cents a quart-a common price-the
return should be at the rate Of $1,000
an acre, or more"

Falling Asleep in Sections.

1T is an interesting though not gen.
orally known fact, young gentlemen"
said lecturer in a New York city
college to his class, that when you
go to sleep you do not do SO all at
once. The different senses and or
gans sink to sleep in succession.
"The first to fall asleep is the sense
of sight; second, taste; third, smell;
fourth, hearing, and fifth and last the
sense of touch. The powers of the
mind may in the meantime be most
active or deranged, according to cir.
cumstances, but they are never alto.
gether coherent"
"That accounts, then," interposed a
student, "for the assertion that the
police on the west side are asleep all
the time-they have enough senses
left to keep them going"
GAS / said," replied the professor.
"the sense of touch is the last to fall
asleep."-New York Herald.

Traction company continue in their

The petition for the judicial inquiry
alleged that the companies have ex-

thereby forfeited their claim to the
use of the streets.
The petition was presented to Judge

The town of Thatcher has fixed
license tax upon its business
concerns ranging from $40 to $40
per annum. We understand that
a howl went up from some of the
business men loud enough to RAISE
the dead, some even going so far
as 10 refuse to pay it. We believe
that those complaining are taking
a very contracted view of the mat.
ter. In order to run town
government they must have money.
To levy the highest rate permitted
under the statute as property tax
would not raise enough money,
after paying the expense Of assess
ing and collecting, to keep the
weeds cut out Of the streets. The
streets of Thatcher are in a de
plorable condition, in fact a dis.
grace to the town. The main
streets should be graded and
graveled. In a short time the
license tax will raise sufficient
money to do this. From all pub
lie improvements the business men
receive greater benefit than any
one else and should not complain
at this tax. The town council has
also made up its mind that viola.
tion of the liquor law must cease,
even il a few people have to be
sent to Jail.
