capital has reached such a total
fund that the destruction of no
single city can have any material
effect upon it. So that San Fran
cisco will not be handicapped in the
slightest degree for lack of capital
to rebuild. AS the bulk ofpeoplehave
no accumulations, they cannot suffer
materially. Permanentloss fallsupon
the very small proportion who have
capital. There are individual losses
and sufferings, but the body of the
people lose nothing; their wealth is
their labor. So far from this being
destroyed, there is an increased de
mand for it. A thirty days total
strike in San Francisco would cause
greater real loss to the San Fran
cisco than the destruction of the
town by fire. And in fact this
country in the last ten years has
lost probably a hundredfold more
from the cessation of labor through
strikes than by all the fires, floods
earthquakes and windstorms that
have occurred during this time.
The explanation of the otherwise
marvellous recovery from disasters
by fire, flood and storms is simply
in the fact that the industrial classes
are not permanently hurt, but quick
ly return to their work. Industrial
relations are disturbed temporarily
and clerks and skilled workmen in
factories are idle or must hunt EN-.
ployment elsewhere, but all other
classes are soon back at work again.
What makesprogress and prosperity
is the industry of the people, and
as long as that is not suspended for
any length of time and the total
fund of capital is not impaired,
which it can not be by loss in a
single locality, these fearful calami.
ties are repaired so quickly as to
appear one of. the marvels of the
age, scarcely leaving a scar to show
that they ever occurred Topeka

THE CULTIVATOR

The time for the corn cultivator
10 be brought out is at hand. There
are many varieties on the market
and rusting along the hedge rows.
Every farmer has his favorite
kind and usually claims that the one
he uses is the best of all. Our op,n-
ion is that the common steel har-
row is the best on the list for the.
first two workings especially if the
ground is foul.
If big harrow is put on the
ground as soon as the corn is planted
it efectually kills the sprouting
weeds and allows the corn to come
up in clean ground and get a start.
Then if the ground is thoroughly
narrowed again after the corn is up
it sets the grass and weeds back so
much that the corn can be allowed
to get up to convenient size for
the shovel cultivator before the
weeds get start. Don't be afraid
to use the harrow.
Some of our most progressive
farmers have discovered its utility
and make good use of it, but Others
depend on the shovel cultivator too
much. If you are not in the habit
OF using the harrow freely, try it on
a piece of your foulest ground. this
year. Harrow it twice thoroughly
before giving il any other cultiva-
ton al d you will ever after consider
the harrow the very best cultivator
in use.

RECOVERY OF CITIES FROM
GREAT DISASTERS

A very interesting phenomenon in
modern times is the reconstruction
of cities destroyed by fire or other
wise, the most remarkable feature Of
which is the rapid recovery of the
people from what at first seems par
alyzing disaster. Baltimore today
is practically where it was before
the fire of two years ago, and Gal
weston is greater city now than
when it was completely destroyed
only few years earlier. Cities not
only recover with wonderful quick
ness, but it does not appear that
they lost time materially. How
much greater would Galveston have
been today if it had never exper-
fenced flood? 1t is questionable
whether there would have been any
difference.
This complete and rapid recovery
from what is at first an appalling
blow, to all appearance, to pro-
gress, has in fact a simple explana-
ton. Statistics show that an infini-
tesimal fraction of people accumu-
late property. The great body of
the people make livelihood and
lay up nothing in the end. The
average accumulation in a lifetime
among os per cent of the people is
less that 500. At the same time,

FAINT RECOLLECTION

Some how there keeps running in
our mind that sometime in the misty

vestigation of some oil company
ordered and that some man, let me
think who he was, we remember he
had the same name as one of our
martyred presidents, what could it
have been; Oh, yes, his name must
have been Garfield, was ordered to
take charge of the investigation and
report to Congress.
Will some of our valued ex-
changes please give us little in
formation on this matter.
Later-We read that the man ap-
Lointed was Garfield and that his
report has been submitted and that
it is a hummer.

SGY0ysG.

Last Saturday evening the old Keys

was found to be IN flames.
The fire soon spread to the small
four room dwelling house Oh the east,
to the Briiey tenant house on the
west and the large livery barn on the
southwest owned by Lee Hawkins and
occupied by Mr.. Ballard as livery
barn and residence over head.
The flames made rapid progress and

houses along the alley burned. line
whole block was kind OF fire trap
aud the Oply wonder is that it stood
as long as it has.
This fire fully demonstrated the fact
that we are absolutely at the mercy
Of fire If it at any time gets under
good head way In the business part Of
the city. 1t seems the city only owns
three nozheles and can't furnish any
water pressure for them.
With any kind of effort the four
room tenant house east of the old ice
house could have been saved. We must
not bCa Of our fire protection till
some better arrangements are made
fortighting fire. 1t now becomes the
duty, If 1t never was before, for the
city council to oyer haul this whole
system and provide the city with some
sort of protection. The pressure was
scarcely sufficient to knock mans
hat off his lead. There were only half
enough streams playing.
Where was the trouble? Did the
city not have hose and nozzles or did
the fire boys fail to attach them. Did
the engineer at the pump fail to wake
up or are the pipes filled with mud. Is
the direct pressure system failure
or was it incompetently managed?
Can we improve the effectiveness Of
the present system and its manage
ment or must we build a stand pipe.
or course it is not necessary for the
water to be filtered for fire purposes.
Streams of mud are about as effective
as water but it seems to take more
power to throw them.
Will our council please take up
these matters and remedy the defects?
After a fellow is hit few times by
fire and realizes that his property is
needlessly sacrificed, he naturally
would like to see the trouble located
and the defects rectified.

Boiling Potatoes.

Choose potatoes to boil in regard to size. For instance. one day they should all be large or small, rarely large and small at the same time, for this necessitates cooking the smaller ones until they are almost in shreds to get the large ones sufficiently tender to serve. If there is no other way, then the large ones should be boiled from ten to fifteen minutes before the smaller ones are put in the water. SC that they will both be done at the same time. To test potatoes with a fork when they are cooking leaves ragged surface that spells the appearance when they are served. A skewer or 8 knitting needle should be run gently into the center of the vegetable, for either one of these makes clean small hole that Is not noticeable after 1t has been withdrawn.
