The Greed for Gain
LHardwick Gazette.l

Just as long as human nature is imbued
with the desire that prompts the young
man to invest" a quarter at the county
fair wheel OF fortune in hope OF securing
a gold watch, the next man to invest"
couple OF dollars in a lottery ticket
thinking to win big prize, and another
to invest a few hundreds in stock
speculation, just 30 long can promoters
Of vast wildcat schemes continue to
draw millions from the pockets OF the
great American public And that desire.
that longing for much money quick, Is
deep rooted and widespread. Compar-
atively few are immune. People want
wealth, more wealth and want II quick.
Thus the ground is prepared for the
hearty reception OF the giittering 20 per
cent. quarterly dividend paying invest
ment. and the hustle for IS shares Of
stock. the first million Of which are offer
ed at so cents each. keeps the promoter
happy and his clerks busy. In the scram-
Bile for something for nothing" people
forget or ignore the fact that no safe,
legitimate business enterprise has to go
hawking about the country for the hard
earned dollars of the laborer, the widow
and the orphan The promoting industry
thrives on human credulity-and greed.
A few years ago the writer asked one Of
these promoters, who was arrayed in
purple and fine linen and was exploiting
what appeared to Us like a particularly
slim investment proposition, If he expect
ed people to buy his stock. My son. -
was the reply. Il can sell the American
people chunks Of blue sky, and have them
chase after me for the privilege Of buying
it, And he did. for that was exactly
what he was doing at that time Dear
people all. shun those glittering propo-
sitions that promise such dazzling divi-
dends- Standard on and Beef trust stock
isn't for sale, and nothing else pays a
hundred per cent Remember the blue
sky statement This is sound advice,
and we hope il may have at least as
proportionate an influence as the value
OF the ink and paper 1t takes TO convey

like material that have been used up in

I the summer months.
The experienced hunters in their own
fields have no fear Of the city nimrod who
gets himself into elaborate togs and provides
himself with blooded dogs to join the search
for the meagre supply Of game that Is
stretched so thinly over New jersey and
Long Island They know how little he has
learned as to the whereabouts Of the birds
and they are aware how important that
knowledge is So they regard his rivalry
as harmless and rather ridiculous. They
have the traditional country hostility to
anything from the city and they never hesi-
tate to show it.
They have a good opportunity to do it
when the city chap who has been lingering
late at the summer hotel comes down by the
village store late on the morning that the
game laws are up. He is not likely to get
down there before 10 o'clock, when there Is
already contingent present that has bag
ged good lot of game and got back to work
Il don't wonder they have to sleep late, +"
observes one Of the council gathered on the
fence. "They must need lot of strength to
walk over the fields with all those togs on"
The man to whom this was addressed
drew a straw out of his mouth preparatory
to similar sally at the expense of the chap
from the city who was approaching. He
waited until the stranger had reached the
porch in order that he might get the full
effect of it.
Its the time it takes to put 'em on"
he said, that keeps EN- from getting out
earlier. We do have to sleep 80 late in the
city, don't you know"
The innocent oaise Of this bucolic sar-
casm continued on his way unconscious
of the attention he had aroused. and even
failed to hear the shaft Of wit that fol-
lowed him and created hilarity among the
four on the porch Of the little store.
Puts birds in them loose pants, said the
spectacled old man who had come out
to look at the apparition that was causing
so much discussion; 1that is, il he don t
scare away the birds with all them city togs

These ilasters Of concrete are five feet
wide and eighty feet high. To stand at
their base and look UP at them gives the
impression that they are strong enough to
hold the cliff up were the mass disposed to
tumble over.
In the accompanying illustration it will
be seen that an arch was built between two
of the big pilasters. This was done to
protect a natural grotto in which a noted
spring is located.
Biologists accept 1t as a fact that the
Horseshoe Fall of Niagara is the engine
that dug the gorge for its full length OF
seven miles. This was accomplished by
wearing away the shales underneath the
limestone. which in time breaks away.
Those who have studied the waterfalls
say that it is near the middle of the Horse
shoe Fall that the recession is most rapid.
This is believed to be because the limestone
blocks broken off from the cliff are rolled
around against the soft shale underneath,
gradually wearing it back until more of the
limestone breaks away.
The American fall does not recede as
rapidly as the Horseshoe as 1t is protected
at its base by the mighty blocks of limestone
which ages ago broke away from the river
bed above To-day. standing at Prospect

neer John L. Harper of that company, and
while it is primarily intended to protect the
companv's employees and power house,
it shows how the Falls of Niagara may be
saved from their own destructive work
For this reason this wall is Of double interest.
The walls of the Niagara gorge are vertical
cliffs. from the base of which there extends
a talus or slope of rocky fra gnents reaching
to the waters edge. The limestone at the
top of the cliff has but little earth upon it,
and then there are gray shnles. The Clin-
ton limestone is reached about the middle
Of the cliff, and under it are green gray
shales. thin limestone beds, soft gray
sandstone and further down sandstone of
reddish color. The power house referred
to is situated at the base of this cliff, right
at the waters edge.
The effect of rein end frost on the shales
of the Niagara cliff is to break them away,
lea wing the heavy limestone a the top of the
cliff unprotected. When the shales wear
away by the action of the wea ther, the
limestone projects shelfike, and in time
plunges into the gorge,
