MR. CARNEGIE NISSED,
Cold Keeps Him from Presiding at
lSimpIifed SpeIlerS' Dinner.

Andrew Carnegie was unable to preside the
third annual dinner Of the Simplhed Spelling
Board, held at the Waldorf last evening, Mr. Car
negie sent word that his physician forbade his
going out on account of a bad cold. Andrew D.
Y, nite took his place, and responded to the toast
"simplifed Spelling and other Things"
He said that the English language. which is the
simplest OF all languages would take possession of
the world if simplifed. He wondered why the
American Missionary Society had not made an ali-
ance with the Simplifed Spelling Board.
William Archer, secretary Of the Simpifled
Spelling Society OF Great Britain, said that his So
ciety received its start from the American board.
and that Mr.. Carnegie had been one OF the prin-
clpal financial supporters of the work in Great
Britain. The literary men, pure and simple. he
said. were the last to come forward in England
His society numbered $50 members. he said. COM
pared with the 10000 members of the American So
ciety The reception by the press in England had
been civil than he expected.
President Roosevelt. he continued, has been
held responsible in England for all your enormi-
ties and when he went out Of office the papers
said simplifed spelling dead But. like the
death OF Mark Twain, it has been much exag-

Thomas Wentworth Higgnson. of Cambridge
Mass. spoke on The Master SPELL of a successful

said:

the change takes the form of abbrevaton. That
is the simpifcation represented by this society

Meridian Times: Mrs. L. H. Badley.
who, with her husband, is the owner of 5
acre ranch near Meridian, gives us some facts
indicating the resources of such farm in
the way of sustaining family. The land IS
not in berries but most of 1t is in hay and pas
ture. During the present year the sales from
this place have been as follows. Hogs,
$40. so; chickens, SIS; eggs, $3.50; butter,
$50. 40; prunes, S44.00; hay, SCI 90;
wheat, $500; potatoes, IS; veal s27. 50;
berries, carrots and parsnips, SIS, making
total of s4s4.05
From this, should be deducted the cost of
shorts, oats, wheat and grit bought and fed
to stock and chickens, amounting to t65 s.
The land cost $1,000, and the improvements
$500. The owner has earned, BY working
off the farm, about $3.50, which added to the
products of the farm made a total income of
s654.05. This would be small income
for a family of average size TO live well ON,
but besides what was sold from the farm
there was all the abundance which supplied
the table with about everything that is good
to eat The eggs, butter and cream, the
meat, fruit and vegetables which the family
used would have cost several hundred dollars
if bought at the usual prices
This report is only hint of what can be
done on a small farm with expert manage
ment and intensive cultivation.

Bert H. Allen, who last spring bought

and adjoining Beatty, paying 5000 an acre,
declares in a signed statement that ne would
not sell the property now for $1,000 an acre,
and furnishes figures TO back up his judg-

'Although we suffered from the extraor-

throughout the northwest during the past

a total OF 5000 over and above the cost OF
harvesting and packing, and exclusive OF re.

the orchard has not exceeded $1,000 for the
season. There was very little smudglng
dome in this orchard, and am convinced
that efficient smudging would have lncreaS-
ed the yield to at least $40, 600.
