Would Manage Whole Town.

Armour, S. Done man may run
this town-not political boss, but a
business manager. J. C. Cantonwine
is, with other taxpayers, disgusted
with the city debt and high assess
ments. He will put up a bond guar
anteeing that if given the manage
ment of the city's affairs he will
demonstrate that a town and city can
be run profitably when conducted
along business lines.
Some of the aldermen look askance
at the proposition, but the taxpayers
generally would like to try it. Armour

ing town. but it has bonded debt of
$4,000, and city warrants have to be

GERMANY CONTROLS WORLDS
MARKET OF SINGERS.
Exceptionally Good Ones Command
Fancy Prices-How the Young
Are Trained-Are Very
Sensible to Drafts.

Washington.-Writi from Madge-
burg, Consul Frank S. Hannah says
concerning the business of raising
canary birds in the Harz mountains:
The breeding and selling of canary
birds in Germany, which has reached
such proportions that it now controls
the markets of the world, is conserva-
lively estimated of value of $685.
900. In st. Andreasburg alone $4,000
canaries are yearly raised for export.
For an exceptionally good singer and
breeder at least 300 marks ($71.40)
must be paid and 100 marks ($23.S0)
is often paid for good so-called
'Vorsaenger,' bird used to teach the
younger canaries to sing by example.
The normal price for good singers
varies from $2.S6 to $S.57. Absolute
quiet and undisturbed intimate rela-
tions exist between the breeder and
his birds. Similar conditions are at
tanned by the Madgeburg breeders.
Many of the so-called 'Harz canaries'
which are exported to the United
States are bred in the city of Madge-
burg, where some of the best singers
are produced.
The training of the young birds to
sing correctly is one of the most i'm
portant and laborious features of the
breeders activity. The young birds.

part. acquire bad singing as well as
good, and while 1t is the plan of the
breeders that the birds should only
hear the good singing of the 'Vorsaen-
GER yet some of them naturally chirp
and whistle in an unpleasant manner,
and care must be taken that these
birds be removed before the other
birds have acquired the same bad
habits and are rendered unstable.
The art of the breeder lies in his be-
ing able to discover the slumbering
talent in the bird at an early age, de-
veloping the same to its highest point
of perfection in its particular line.
These birds are divided into classes
and kept in separate rooms, those
having harsh and sharp voices being
often placed in covered cages, where
instead of singing they are forced to
listen to other good singers, through
which their faults are often overcome.
The better singers, after passing a
certain stage where their habits are
established and they do not require
the close daily watching of the breed
er, are taken into room reserved for
the best singers. The elementary
training for the singer is generally
finished by the end of November and

see it, is to promote peace, and as

Justice Jacques has for a long while

strength enables him. when occasion
requires, to conquer the most refrac-
tory horse by throwing him to the
floor and sitting on him while an as

jacques is an exception to the rule.
for he is highly educated He is an
omniverous reader, devoting the
greater part of his leisure to high
class literature, and he has written
several important articles on social
and industrial topics.
Mr.. jacques was not a candidate for
the office which he now holds. but
was drafted by the people of his town
ship in a nonpartisan movement, and
his election was unanimous. For some
time there had been more or less
petty litigation of neighborhood
character In Elmont. and as matter
OF civic pride some of the leading
citizens started boom for jacques,
believing that he would be able to
WELD a peaceful influence and pro-
mote the community spirit. He took
charge OF the office January / this
year. and since that time he has ami
eably adjusted several local feuds of
long standing.
