Teach Child Table Manners.

Too great stress cannot be laid upon
a thorough training in table nicetes.
If we do not want some one to have
occasion 10 vince at the offensive
ways of eating of our children as we

should begin almost from the cradle

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Treatment For smut.

The government experiment station
at New Mexico has a timely leaflet
urging farmers to treat all their seed
fol, the prevention of smut and thus
save next years crops in case smut
may be prevalent
Formalin treatment is perhaps the
easiest to apply and as effective as
any. Formalin can be purchased at
any drug store.
The smuts are destructive parasitic
fungous plants. There are two classes
of smut which attack our grains-the
shrinking smut, or bunt, which attacks
wheat only, and the loose smut, which
attacks wheat, oats and barley. The
former can easily be distinguished
from the latter in that it has very
characteristic odor and destroys the
kernel only, while the loose smut not
only destroys the kernels, but also
more or less of the chaff.
For the formalin treatment mix one
pound of formalin in fifty gallons of
water Place the seed to be treated in
burlap sacks and submerge in the solu-
ton for ten minutes. Dry the seed,
and it is ready for use. If the sacks
be only partly filed it will be much
easier to churn them around in the
solution and get all the wheat in con-
tact with it.-Cor. American Cultivator.

HISTORY is repeating itself this year
rather early in the game, due doubt
less to the fact of the canvaSSing now
going on for the primaries. For a
number Of years the Newark Evening
" News has held brief for every
disgruntled Republican in this part of
the State and only needs hint to mis-
represent Republican party leaders
and impugn their motives. This is
true Of several other counties as well
Morris county, with the result that so
far as influence in deciding elections is
concerned it is absolutely nil. The
News has led in the criticism of the
Hillery minimum tax law and tried
to show that it was in the interests of
the railroads because, forsooth, in its
power to limit the tax spenders the
valuations have been increased in
many localities so that the railroads
do not have TO pay but a fair share OF
tax. This matter is fully set forth by
an article on the first page of this is
sue. The same spirit leads the News"
to make violent attack upon Daniel
S. Voorhees, for the purpose of injur-
ing his influence by helittleing him
generally, minimizing his public SER
vices and saying he was until recently
a Democrat. Fortunately for Mr..
voorhees, he is so thoroughly known
not only in the County but in the
State that to read attacks of this kind
is but to laugh, and no one feels called
upon to answer the fulminations. A
later article In the News" pur
porting to treat upon the political stu
alton in Morris county shows the ami
mus of the whole matter. 1t is simply
designed TO help certain individuals
in their canvass by breaking up ane
demoralizing the party organization
in the county, and it might be we'll fol
the individuals engaged in this at
tempt to ask themselves what good il
4 will do to secure a nomination by TO
menting party strife and destroying
the efficiency of the organization which
must elect them? The people of Nor
iris county are able to manage thei
political affairs NATURALIZATION from
the News, I" especially as it is know
that the articles in that paper ar
written by persons who have used tn
party organization to the limit to he'll
them to secure Office or emolument
and now show all the rancor tina
comes with disappointed hopes an
thwarted ambitions.

THE excise situation in this State
reached an accute stage last week wnen
owing to the open defiance OF the law
by LIQUOR dealers in Atlantic City ana
the refusal Of the grand jury to indlct
the offenders, Governor Fort issued a
proclamation declaring the situation
intolerable and sying that if it contin-
ued be would suppress it by the use OF
the State troops or call a special SEES
sion of the Legislature to give MN
power to remove delinquent officials.
The law breakers were defiant at first
but they were made to see the error
of their ways and the lid was down
tight on Sunday for the first time IN
wears. And strange to say these fell
lows who have been shouting person
alliberty" all these years held no lodge
of sorrow oyer the failure OF their pa
irons to get spirituous refreshments,
but filed the air with lamentations
over the thousands of dollars they were
losing. In so doing they showed the
true inwardness of the situation. d.
vested of it's glitter and glamour the
traffic is sordid to the last degree and
that is all there is of it. The excise
question will be prominent factor in
the coming campaign as there will be
a demand for home rule or local op-
tion bill that will permit each munic-
pality to decide whether liquor shall
be sold at all or sold every day in the
week, Sundays included.

WHAT BRO. HUMMEL FOUND oU1

Apropos of the reasons given by us
for not starting daily the I" Index "
says:
The '.Index had try at pub
lishinga daily four years ago, and the
best part of years work, together
with the loss of over 81, 900, has demon
strated that daily can not be made
to pay here. Why? Because the mer-
chants here do not care to advertise in
a daily, although one of them said
that it was just what the town need
ed, while another said he liked to read
the news once week in good paper
like the (" Index" was. Also that
many hundreds would buy the penny
evening dreadfuls with not line of
local news, although a penny daily in
the country is losing proposition.
The fact is. there are too many pa
peis in most towns, and while some
of them manage to get along fairly
we'll, there are some who are always
hanging on the ragged edge whereas,
had the men on these papers worked
as hard in any other business, their
returns would have been more COM
mensurate with their labors.
The cost of printing is increasing
right along, especially in paper and
labor, and it is only by hard work
and economy that any 81 paper can
exist. 1t has been amply demonstrate
ed that to print a newsy 81 paper like
this one for example, the cost per
copy is from S1.75 to 50 a year.
Hence, it will be seen that there is
no profit in 81 paper, and were it
not for the ads. and JOB work, it could
not exist long.

The Newark News is getting SO
notorious as misrepresenter of politi-
cal affairs as to hardly excite comment.
The Camden " Courier however, gets
back at it as follows:
"Our esteemed Newark contempor-
airy, the Evening News" seems TO
take much pleasure, when speaking Of
the Camden Courier, in styling it a
personal organ, for which there is not
the slightest foundation, not even so
much as that which warrants the
statement that the News" is the
personal organ Of Everett Colby and
directs his campaigns. The Courier"
has been continuously under the same
management for score Of years, and
in all that time no political leader has
attempted to dictate its policy. 1t
has, OF course, often found itself in
harmony with the views of party
leaders as to party management for
the promotion and success ofHpublic
policies, and has commended the lead
ers when, according to it's view, they
were deemed correct. This it will con-
tinue to do as the management thinks
advisable, but it must demur to the
allegation that it is or has been the
organ of politicians. The Courier"
owes allegiance to the Republican
party because it is sincerely of opinion
that its principles are best for the pro-
motion of the welfare of the country
and it's people. 1t will continue to
note with disapprobatlon all efforts to
disrupt the party organization by self
seeking reformers, whose profession of
superior virtue gives them stand
ing in some sections of the State. In
brief, the Courier will always be
governed by principles and not by
men,"

Edith Mae Decker: A sunshine Girl

Edith Mae Decker: A Sunshine Girl.
To the Editor of the Adirondack En-
terprise
Dear Sir VIII you allow one who
has know Miss Decker from her in
fancy, to. say word of appreciation
of her beautiful character? After all
there is nothing that influences US so
much as the lives of others and no one
in Saranac Lake who ever saw this
bright, sunshiny, brave sufferer failed
to be impressed with the heroic way
in which she fought for her life, with
patience, good cheer and sublime resig-
nation. The spontaneous testimony
of scores of people who saw her per-
haps only a few times, some of them
but once, bear witness to the truth Of
this. She was said to be the most
cheerful patient in Saranac Lake and
in town where waves of sorrow and
anxiety sweep over the beautiful hills,
bowling the hearts and courage of
those who have come hither seeking
health, it was d blessed gift to be able
to rise above the depression OF physical
weakness and to diffuse sunshine and
courage to all who knew her.
For almost three years and half
the dear girl had been confined to her
balcony and her little bed in the cor
ner, but how her mind and heart
spread their wings of love and thought
and sympathy to all parts of the
world Unusually gifted by nature she
had a mind we'll trained by the best
reading and thought. She loved music.
and all things beautiful and her soul
expanded as her body faded away. She
was never idle, even in her weakness.
Her busy fingers fashioned many a
dainty little gift for far-away friends
and her unseffsh love reached homes
in all parts of the land.
1t was an inspiration TO visit that
pretty balcony which looked beyond
the dark green pines to the mountains
beyond The fair patient hid every
possible appearance of the sick room
from sight, and one was only conscious
of brilliant, beautiful girl in snowy
garb, lighted up with a bit of color,
flowers at her side, books en- her cable
and smile of cheer and hope on the
lovely face. To talk with her was a
pleasure to all, from the humble char
woman, who loved to come up for a
friendly word, to the courteous clergy
man and the devoted physician, who
| enjoyed her play of wit and fancy.
OF the more intimate and sacred
ties that bound this gifted girl to her
devoted mother one may, rot speak,
but all who loved the daughter unite
in tender sympathy for the one whose
i home is left deSolate, because the sun.
shine is darkened, and the sweet spirit
which gladdened the world for her has
fled. The frail form is at rest, but
the unseltiSh love, the blessed mem
cries, and the glad hopes of an un,
dimmed future beyond the present
clouds, are still here TO comfort those
who knew and loved dear Edith Decker

Being killed in the pasture during a

be- entirely eliminated by afixing a
