New York. - Receivers for the
Pope Manufacturing Co. and its
subsidiary company the Pope Motor
Car Co., which manufacture automo-
biles and bicycles, with main offices
and plant at Hartford, Conn, were
appointed Wednesday In New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massa,
chusetts. Similar action will be taken
shortly in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Maryland where the companies own
plants.
The petitions filed by the McManus-
Kelley Co., of Toledo, asking for re-
ceivers, show the total assets of both
companies to be $11,205, 80 with to-
tai liabilities reaching $1.972,826. The
difficulties of the Pope companies
were the direct result of a curtail-
ment of loans and reduction of loans
on notes. Albert Rathbone, counsel
for Albert L. Pope, vice president OF
the Pope Manufacturing Co., who has
been appointed receiver in New
York, Massachusetts and Connecticut,
said the troubles of the companies
were the outcome of the present rigid
monetary conditions. Loans were
falling due, Mr.. Rathbone said, and
the company was unable to meet
them.
The petition Of the receivers shows
that the total capitalization of the
Pope Manufacturing Co. is $22,.
100000, and that the company was or.
ganized in 1903 in New Jersey. The
Pope Motor Car Co.'S entire stock Is
owned by the Pope Manufacturing
Co., which owns and operates plants
at Hartford, Conn; Westfeld, Mass.
Hagerstown, Md; Syracuse, N. Y,
and Chicago.
The Pope Motor Car Co. has plants
In Indianapolis and Toledo.
William A. Read, director Of the
Pope Manufacturing Co., said the
company was hurt by strike in one
of the automobile plants six months
ago and at the time orders for 200
cars were cancelled. Since then the
banks began to restrict their credit
and the failure resulted.
Hartford, Conn. The failure
Of the Pope Manufacturing Co.
caused one of the biggest surprises
that this city has known, but it is not
thought that the big industry will be
affected by the action of the court
The probabilities are, according to
Receiver Albert L. Pope that the
business will be continued Mr.. Pope
stated that the company employs in
all about 1000 hands in its various
plants. He said the company has am
pie assets to meet the claims against
It.

The man who spends his time loafng

who spend their time in bemoaning
the fact that they are not getting the
right kind of living which the world
owes them, and who never once think
how much better this living could be

who is constantly grumbling about

which he can make it livelier.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Power of the Country Press and Its
Influences Upon the Community.

While the influences Of the great
city papers are recognized and the
great magazines fill a necessary field,
neither of these conveyers of general
information can ever supplant the field
that is occupied by the country press.
The home paper is the medium that
conveys local intelligence to its read
ers. 1t fills a place in the journalistic
world that no other publication can
ever supplant. The country press is
one of the greatest powers in the
moiding of public opinion. 1t may not
be up to the highest classical standard,
but it's rough literary gems are contin-
ually shining resplendent and cast
their rays in the most remote corners
of the land. 1t Is a power for good.
In its reflections Of events, in the local
field are shown TIE progress of the
people whom 1t represents. 1t is the
mirror of the condition of the town
and the country. The residents of
every community should take the
greatest pride in assisting in making
the home press more powerful. Stand
up for your home paper 1t is the one
staunch advocate of your local inter
ests and to an extent is indicative of
either your prosperity or your lack Of
progress.

Quite often when towns are organ
lied the matter of providing for public
parks is overlooked. Every town is
city in embryo. No one can prophesy
how great it may become in time. 1t
is well to look into the future and to
set aside grounds that may be used
for park purposes. 1t has been the
experiments of many cities that the
park question is a troublesome one
when not looked after in ample time.
There is nothing that makes the city
more attractive or is such a blessing
to its people as coZy park where
they may meet for recreation during
the warmer months of the year.

Each town should have a good pub

such a hall be erected by private en-

FORTUNES IN So. c:I"S.
NTH Skins at S45c Each. Prices Soar
Into Thousands.

The two most expensive Sable coats
in the world are worn by the empress
oil Russia and Queen Maud of
Norway
The empress coat is made from
pure sables, the best which could be
obtained in Europe, and is valued by
an expert in furs at something be-
tween $250,OOO and 100000, while
that which Queen Maud wears would
be worth nearly half as much.
The manager of London firm said
that within the last two years the
price of sable had increased by IS per
cent, and was still going up.
THE price is practically prohibi-
tive" he said, land we have to find
a substitute in top Russian sable,
smart sets of which cost as much as
$1,000. If the same were made in
real sable the price would be about
$500 or more.
There is as much gambling in sa-
bles as there is on the stock ex-
change. The furriers have all sold
out, and the demand is still great
People are now beginning to pass
sables down as heirlooms-and val
liable they are, too, at $3.50 skin"

Night Work on the Farm.

Night work on the farm is not to be
tolerated. The old plan of working
from four o'clock in the morning till
nine o'clock at night was responsible
for creating a disgust for farm work,
and both the boy and the girl sharet
this disgust. On many farms now no
work is done after six o'clock p. M.
and this is right. There is no reason
why hours should be longer on the
farm than in the city. But on the
farm more time needs to be taken at
noon so that the morning and evening
chores" will come further apart. We
doubt, however, if the "eight-hour
day ever becomes the rule on the
farm, especially on the farm that is
devoted to some extent to the raising
of live stock. Farm animals refuse to
adapt their needs to the eight hour
plan.

GOLD NUGGET A BEAUTY.
Alaskan Mine Has Probably the
Largest Ever Found.

1t is not an uncommon thing to see
men who have enough greenbacks to
choke an elephant, but it's not often
that one meets man with a gold mug
get large enough to make even horse
sick if he had to try to eat it without
having it run through a quartz mill.
There is a man in Los Angeles, Cal,
however, who has the nugget, and he
is the Klondike king, Clarence Berry,
who has come from Alaska on a visit
70 his brother. The nugget might be
likened to a mans hand with the
palm turned upward, for it is over six
inches long, almost four inches wide,
is an inch thick at the thickest part,
and weighs" $3.50.
There are few men who can dig
such chunks of gold out of their own
mines, but Clarence Berry is one of
these lucky miners He is one of
the pioneers of the gold mines of
Alaska, and having been one of the
first men to get to the various rich
diggings, his energy and persever-
ance have been rewarded with large
amount of gold. How much no one
knows but he, and he won't tell.

KEEPING ACCOUNTS.
How One Farmer Figures Out the
Profit on His Cows.

The overcoming bookkeeping.
bugbear brings to mind a recent in
terview with one of the largest farm
ers in the east, who is bright man
and large wholesale baker, Thomas
Kelley. He said: AS a business man
l have learned that the books must be
kept right if the proprietor is encour'
aged and not discouraged, and is led
to venture into the business still more
extensively. The rule applies as well
to farming as to other business.
In operating my four large farms.
charge them with only the wages,
with things bought and with the other
real expenses, and never with things
the farm produces. If, for instance,
debit the farm with it's own hay that
is used, | really charge the hay twice
because the wages paid help have pro-
duced that hay just as much as the
wages set the fence posts and do the
work
No man is right if he figures that
the hay sold is worth stated sum
and hence milk is produced at such
cost. If l wronged my farms that way
in my bookkeeping l would appear tC
be losing money every year and
would soon dispose of my country
property, for to carry on a business
one is not sl1illful enough to conduct
profitably, is not reasonable.
This winter l shall keep $50 cows,
feeding 300 tons of hay. If 1 figure
that hay at it's market value l find
that my milk costs me more than
can buy it for in the open market, but
don't do so. Neither do l figure in the
wear and tear on the stock. | merely
charge a cows actual shrinkage in
value between the time l buy her and
her selling price. This is an actual,
not an imaginary transaction. If
hire help and am so lacking in skill
that l do not raise what hay, stalks,
grain, ETC., l require and have to buy
them, l must charge up the things
bought, of course, just as l credit my
milk, eggs and potatoes. l am not
satisfied with COW unless I can clear
an actual profit on her every day, even
if it is not more than five cents, and
the manure.

ONE OF LIFE'S
LITTLE GE0iES

ac-ers in it, man and woman.
Neither was too young to be silly or
too old to be sentimental. 1t began
several years ago and ended only re-
Gently. The man lived in New York
at Us beginning, as he does now. and
the woman lived, and still lives, in a
nearby suburb. They met, as men and
women sometimes do. on a train. 1t
was no common Irritation, with the
usual disregard of the convention. He
was a gentleman, she lady. and for
some courtesy he had extended with
perfect propriety she thanked him,
and their acquaintance began.
They were congenial spirits. Surely
if they had not been her thanks for
his courtesy would have marked the
end of their accidental meeting. They
talked for perhaps an hour before she
left the train, and mutual hope was
expressed that they might meet again.
He had given her his card: she simply
gave him name. Personal details of
that sort had small interest for them.
They had discovered in each other in
tellectual attractions which were of
deeper interest. They were friends
of the soul and the mind.
Not long after this first meeting
their paths crossed again, this time
in the city, and he asked her to lunch
con with him. She went, and for an
hour or two they talked as two friends
who had known each other always.
They asked no marks of Identification.
She had his card, he knew her name,
and that was enough. Indeed, not so
much was needed to make their COM
partnership delightful. but names have
their uses in the furtherance of asso-
citation. A note must be written some
times or a call sent over the tele
phone.
After this meeting they saw each
other again several times, never for
more than an hour or so at luncheon,
and then they went their separate
ways.
For two or three years after this
their association was close and con-
slant, and she became a companion
and friend who was far more to him
than any he had ever known. He took
she became a wise and strong adviser
to him. He did not hesitate to tell
her repeatedly that no woman could
be more to him than she was. But
neither talked of love, and the grand
passion was ignored by mutual con
sent, if, indeed, it had ever met with
recognition.
Tins their two lives went on close
together. interdependent, the one rely
ing upon the other, both faithful. each
uplifting the other. In all these years
what they were to each other Obscured
who they were. and they knew no
more than on that first day when he
had given his card to her and she
had told him her name What they
knew satisfied them fully
Not long ago he asked her to come
to town, as he had something of i'm
portance to tell her She came. as
she always did in response to any
call he made upon her. and they dined
together. She did not ask him what
matter of Importance was to be dis
cussed. because she knew he would
tell her in good time They talked of
music and books and nlays and people
and the dozens of subjects intellectual
congeniality makes delightful. and
when they had come to the coffee he
told her they were forgetting the i'm
portant business which had brought
them together.
