Very interesting.

A great deal OF interest has
been aroused in the proposition
worked out by Thomas A. Edison
for the construction of dwelling
houses in . remarkable short
time and at an equally remark
able decrease in the cost rs
compared with the cost of con-
struction today. The erroneous
impression has gone out that an
inexperienced person with y few
barrels of cement and sand can
build his own house in 3 few days.
In order to carry out the Edison
scheme it is necessary to make q
set of moulds in which.the walls
of the house may be shaped, and
these moulds will cost no less
than $25. 900.
Thus it is evident that this idea
car be economically made use of
only where there are many
houses to be erected on the same
hines, such Is the building of a
new town like that in progress at
Gary, Iil.-Monr0e News.

Wood Pulp.

Scientists of the forest service
have figured out that the Sunday
edition of one New York newspa-
per requires the cut from 1871
acres of land to supply the wood
pulp for the manufacture of the
white paper necessary for the
printing OF the edition, while a
single weekday edition of the
same paper requires, approx
mately, the cut from lis acres
of timber land. These figures
allow a stand of nine cords of
wood to the acre.

One of the most pitiful things
is the farmer who late in life sells
his farm and moves to town, "to
live more easily" The result il
seldom good. In q new element
and q stranger to condition of life,
an investment Is made. Usually
some one persuades him to earn
his living BY embarking in mer-
camille business. Nearly 50 PEI
per cent Of merchants fell and
with the farmer turned merchant
the result is nearly certain. Then
the poor old man has no occupa-
ton in town, and no farm and il
broken in his old age. This Is Of
no infrequent occurrence. l have
seen it so often that when / hear
of an old farmer who moves to
town I pity him for the things
which are sure to happen.-Lee

Cisterns Of Hot Water.

Of ever increasing interest to
natural curiosity seekers are the
Hot Pots, about three miles from
Heber City, Utah.
This region is a level plain,
upon the surface of which arise
in strange confusion numbers of
conical shaped cisterns, the
largest of them being all of so
feet in height, 100 feet in diam
eter at the top and twice that at
the base and containing in their
dark depths immense volumes of
water heated to a high tempera
ture in the furnaces of the earth.
The waters contain the usual
chemical properties of thermal
springs and are used for. bathing
and drinking.
These pots evidently have been
formed by the slow deposition
through countless centuries of
the silica and soda which enter
into the composition of the
the waters. They grow IN height
steadily with years and present
a most interesting spectacle of
natures strange creative methods.
The Hot Pots are found in the
midst of cultivated fields and
thriving orchards, notwithstand-
ing the peculiar rocklike soil
composition.
One of the marked pecullarities
of the region is the hollow
rumbling sound cause1 by car
riages and horses as they move
over the roadways for miles
around. els there an enormous
cavern just below the surface,
and will it ever cave in?" is the
anxious inquiry, of every visitor

The question of the amount OF
food for laying hens is often the
most serious stumbling blocks for
those who keep hens solely for
the egss.
The old advice, don't get the
hens fat, Is taken by many to
mean that the hens should starve.
and consequently feed them only
about halt what they should have.
There is more in the way they
are fed than there is in the guam.
tity. Hens that lay we'll are those
that are fed we'll, while those that
do not lay and take no exercise
will soon get too fat.
Give the hens . variety, mostly
grain, and keep them busy. They
will stay 10 good condition, and
though they eat full meals, they
will always lay. The hens should
spend the day in getting their
supply, so that when night comes
their crops are we'll filed.

State Treasurer Edwards and
Attorney General Fletcher have
sent out notice to all the bank
ing lnstitutins in the state that
they are in readiness to. receive
proposal S in accordance with the
provisions Of the state depository
law enacted at the recent legisla-

All banks and trust companies
in the state are invited to submit
proposals for The privilege of
keeping part of the states funds
and becoming a state depository
as the act provides.
Banks desiring to make .propos-
ais are required to state name and
location of institution, capital
stock authorized and paid in, the
amount Of state taxes paid ln 1907,
amount of state funds desired, Sc
ourity TO, be offered, and rate of
interest the bank is willing to
pay.
Proposals must be in writing
over the signature Of officials and
it is expected that a thirty day
period will be allowed in which to
make the proposals.
The depository law was one of
the last important acts passed in
the lower house, although 1t went
through the senate during the
early part of the session.

Banking Law Worries En-.

The new banking law enacted
by the last legislature seems to be
a surprise in many respects td
bankers throughout the state.
One provision in particular is
causing some worry. Under the
new law the minimum amount Of
capital Is fixed for cities and
towns, and when the charter con-
tains given amount of capital,
say 0,00O, and provides thai
business may be commenced when
$25. 900 is paid in, the new law
requires that the remaining $25,
600 shall be paid in to the capital
stock in five months, and in regu-
lar. equal menthly instaIIments.
This provision is causing some
charters published since the law
went into effect tc be amended
and the maximum amount author
lied to be cut down. The purpose
of the law is obviously to'require
the entire amount of capital au-
thorized to be paid in cash as soon
as possible, leaving none outstand-
ing in hands, perhaps, which have
nothing to insure payment.

WARM POLITICS in TEXAS.

Bailey and Baileyism are the
prime factors 10 a red-hot politi-
cal campaign just launched in
Texas over the election of four
delegates from the State at large to
the National Democratic Conven-
tion at Denver. The white wash
ing or "vindication" received by
Senator Joe Bailey at the hands of
a majority OF the Texas Legisla-
ture a year ago last February, in
connection with his Waters Pierce
and Standard Oil record, did not
yindicate, as indeed it could not,
in the light of the facts brought
out by the incomplete investiga-
.tion of partisan committee, and
the Senator has been under fire,
dlstrusted and repudiated by a
large proportion of the Democrats
of Texas ever since. He wouldn't
resign his seat in the Senate and
come before the people asking
the vindication of re- election
after his oily record and alliances
had been exposed, as be was re-
peatedly requested to do, but, on
the contrary, has insisted on re-
ceiving the fullest party recogni-
tion and hpnors in spite of his
tattooed reputation.
Despairing of getting him di-
rectly before the people, the anti
Bailey forces have been carrying
on campaign of education for
several months and planning a
campaign to elect a Legislature
this year that would call on him
to resign; but the issue of Bailey
and Bailey1sm has been brought
to the test Of a popular vote at an
earlier date and in an unexpected
form from what was originally
anticipated.
Though never a. personal Oh
political friend of Bryan, and
standing for much that Bryan un-
compromisingly condemns, Bailey
for a year or more has proclaimed
that be would be one of tie dele,
gates at large from Texas to the
National Democratic Convention.
The party machine in Texas was
under Ills control and with a sub.
servient committee to call and

Danger in Dishonest Elections.

The trouble over the results of
the recent state Democratic prI-
mary election in Louisiana is un-
fortunate in the extreme. With
out knowing the facts or desiring
to take side ia the controversy, /
want to warn the white people of
Louisiana and Mississippi of the
danger and trouble that awaits
them unless they have honest
elections. A few more exper-
fences of this kind will cause a
division in the ranks of the white
people, the negro will be brought
back into politics and then we will
have veritabIe hell on earth.
1t is a serious matter and calls for
attention at the hands of the best,
strongest and most patriotic men
in our midst. u. X. Vardaman in
the Issue.
Well said, Mr.. Vardaman, and
danger awaits any state that has
dishonest elections. The crime
against the ballot box, whether in
a regular election or primary,
is assassination. The man who
knowingly causes a fraudulent
vote to 90 into a ballot box is IN
enemy of the state. He strikes a
deadly blow at the heart Of the
American system of republican
government, whose corner stone
is the rule of the majority honest

Greater Mississippi" says;
President Kolb, of the Monroe
county union, comes out frankly
in favor of a bond issue for the
purpose of building roads in that
section. He is very much in
favor Of building aud maintaining
roads, although the cost will be
high. The only trouble with a
large bond issue is this: If it is
attempted to use all at once for
a general system of roads, it is
likely that considerable will be
wasted in experimenting. 2
We believe it is generally
argeed by our people that the
proper plan, based upon bond
issue, will be to invest the funds
in the building of the most i'm
portant roads, and, as suggested
by Commissioned Blakeslee, to
proceed conservatively, and under
the direction of a competent en-
gineer. "A berdeen Examiner.
