The mid-year marks apparent ly a distinct improvement in commercial conditions. Inter- est and dividend disbursements are estimated to reach around $195, 100000 and this huge sum is expected to seek reinvest- ment in forms which will give decided impetus to nearly all lines. Moreover, it is officially announced that the union Pacific and the New York Central will immediately resume vast works of betterment on their great railway systems, and other roads are expected to follow the exam pie. Railway shops are resum- ing full-time operations and trainmen are being summoned back to work. Banks are full of money, new low records in iter- est rates are being made, crop prospects are fair, and every ele- ment that makes for prosperity V is present, except the impending presidential campaign.

melons and peaches are not going out from this county. Get busy and join the boomer club.

Henry Watterson was recently suggested as the likely secretary of state or postmaster general in the event of MT. Bryan's elec- tion. Responding thereto the veteran editor used the following typical language:
 ''There is no office on earth within the gift of the people or the president which Mr. Waiter son would accept, or the acept- ance of which he would consider. When he makes up his mind that he wants to go to hell, he will cut his throat and go direct, not take a roundabout journey by way of one of the departments at Washington. To him office and officialism in all their forms are odious in the last degree ;and next thereto the thing called big influence with the admins tration"

The Camden Herald has start ed campaign to make improved
 land worth from S35 to S73 per acre according to the improve ments, location, and fertility. It
 has been demonstrated over and over again says the Herald, that
 this land under proper cultiva- tion and divresification of crops will easily net for the owner from $50 to S1OO per acre. Soil that will produce such results and grow richer all the time while doing it is easily worth the money stated above. We want to form boomers club composed of farmers who think they can do something and are willing to go at it.

Editorial Notes

Camden has disorderly houses and big crusade to purge the city of the disreputable female characters sis now on. It seems the city council has allowed them to exist through the fine system, but public opinion has resolved for their punishment and the victory will be in favor of law and order. Perhaps Cam den's saloons will be the next to suffer at the hands of this moral influnece.

Working for Better Corn.

Luther Burbank, the vegetable wiz.
ard, who was recently granted a spe-
cial $4,000 appropriation BY the Car
negie foundation, is to spend part of
the amount in study to improve the
common American corn. His seed
less apples and spineless cacti have
become famous and the public will
watch with much interest his efforts
to develop maize to greater CONNER
cial value. The American corn, on
which much of the nations agricul-
tural prosperity rests, Is one of the
few cultivated vegetable growths of
which the California investigator has
been unable to find the original in
the wild state. He thinks 1t came
from a grass and that the Central
American teosinte is now its near
est wild relation.
The ear Of corn originally grew
at the top of it's stalk as the head
of wheat or oats does now. BY cross
ing species Burbank has produced
a grass that he believes is similar
to the ancestor of the corn. BY stury-
ing the origin of this great American
staple he hopes to secure a basis of
investigation from which to evolve
a corn of still greater general util-
ity. The first task is to supply the
missing link in the evolution of the
ear.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

story. he gave the oldest 500 q

Washington, D. C.-This Congress
leaves behind a record Of unprece-
dented expenditures. Coming to
Washington fresh from the scenes of
the financial disturbance of the early
fall, 1t has pushed the appropriations
for the first session of the Sixtieth
Congress above the billion dollar
mark, k,----s~>-~s-~~1,-----<-~ ---~'-
=. Not so very many years ago Speak
er Reed and his billion dollar Con-
gress startled the country. Now the
country has reached billion dollar
sessions, and 1t takes two sessions to
make a Congress.
Not only does the billion dollar ses-
sion follow closely the receding wave
Of financial furry, but 1t comes with
a Treasury depleted and facing de-
felt estimated for the fiscal year at
$60,000,0 900, and for the current year
ending December 81, 1908, at $780,
100000. The official statement of
the Treasury Department recently
showed an excess of expenditures
above receipts of $50,
The excess of receipts over expeudi-
lures was s5S,41O,542.53 one year
ago, making difference on the wrong
side of the ledger of 11,429,371.9O.
Nearly all the annual supply bills
have received consideration from the
House of Representatives, in which
they originate. Not one has been
passed by this Congress which does
not show substantial increase above
the amount carried last year. The
increase runs from 100000, added
to the amount of the Indian bill, to
s26, 100000 in the annual appropria-
tion for the navy.
Exceeding Last Sessions Figures.
Making a conservative estimate,
and adding the actual increases
shown in those passed or under con-
sideration, the appropriations of this
session exceed those of the second
session of the last Congress by $104,-
100000. To this sum must be added
the amount in the public building bill
demanded by those having close dis
tricts, where the judicious distribu-
tion of the contents of the pork bar
rel" helps to turn the tide of votes. A
conservative estimate of the provis-
ions of this bill is $20,000,00O.
Added to the increases carried in
the appropriation bills this gives an
aggregate of $124,300,00O, and raises

Surprise for An Oyster Shucker.

As George Schuck was opening
oysters in the Susquehanna House,
Catawissa, he opened one that gave
him a surprise. 1t was apparently
as solid and as sound as any he had
opened, but when he removed the
shell he found therein a small fish
about two inches in length and a
small hard shell crab, the top shell
Of which was three-fourths of an
inch in width. The fish was plump
and lifelike, though dead. but the
crab was as lively as a cricket. There
was no sign of an oyster in the shell,
which was 2Axi inches.-Philadel-

in the legislative. executive and ju-
dicial bill. and $24,000,000 in the
urgent deficiency bill.
The leaders have raised warning
voices and urged the cutting down
of annIal estimates submitted to Con-
gress. These suggestions have not
kept the figures down and have had
little good effect.
Democrats are already preparing
to make use of the figures furnished
by their opponents in campaign docu-
ments, and are hoping for success on
the record of the party in power.
Most, IL not all, of the committees
making up the money bills have
failed by many thousands of dollars

has been always to increase rather
than decrease the amounts expended
