Pride IN Ones House.

House pride is thing of recent
growth; at any rate, it is thing of
recent and widespread revival. The
rich burghers of the past who employed
great artists to paint the interiors of
their rooms, to perpetuate their glow
ing carpets, their shining glass, their
tablecloths, their china and their
chairs, were, doubtless, house proud.
But the cult of the house was confined
to small number, while nowadays 1t
is becoming universal. We all wor-
ship at the same shrine.-London

1t seemed that quite number Of peo-
pie have some one particular theory to ac-
count for earthquakes, which must be
pushed to the front, to the exclusion of all
other theories, as if there must necessarily
be only one cause in every case. Why may
not comets at one time, and planets, by their
tidal effects on subterranean molten seas,
constitute the essential disturbing factor
at other times, without excluding other
causes at still other times? | do not believe

There is one of the government depart
ments in Washington-the postoffice, /
think-that owns and operates its own ice
plant and thereby effects big saving in
the course of year.
If one of the big divisions of Uncle
Sam can do this, why can't they all adopt
the same policy? 1t is perfectly feasible
for every ton of the ice consumed in the
various national bureaus to be manufac-
tured by one big central plant or number
of smaller ones and thereby escape the
profit of the ice combine.

To Build a New Methodist Church.
A GRANITE BUILDING WILL GO UP ON
THE PRESENT LOT NEXT SPRING.

The Methodists are TO build new
church on the old lot early in the spring.
The church is to be built of Maine
granite, with a seating capacity OF $50.
This matter of pleasant news, especial
ly TO the Methodists, but also to every
one interested in South Paris, has be-
come public during the past week. 1t
has also become public secret that the
undertaking of this work now is due to
promise of aid from William Deering of
Chicago. Conditions are attached to the
gift which will involve work on the part
of the Methodists, and they will meet
them.
Tentative plans for the church build
ing are now in the hands of the Metho-
dsts here. Although they will be
changed somewhat from their present
form, they indicate that building will
be put up which will be as good and as
handsome as can be found in any village
of the size, aud one which will be an
ornament to the place.

Wednesday mornings session began
late. This was because they waited for
the fruit exhibit to be "all in place be-
fore 10 A. NJ" as the premium list stat
ed that it must, and as nobody
expected it would be. The old-fashion-
ed county fair method of being behind
band isn't entirely out of date yet. How
ever, the first speaker down on the pro-
gramme, J. II. Hale Of Connecticut, was
unable to be present, so an opportunity
was afforded to delay the beginning of
the exercises until 10:40 without inter-
| ference with the rest of the programme.
After song by F. s. Pike, Professor
w. D. Hurd, recently of the University
of Maine, was introduced to speak on
the subject, "Some Essentials for Sue
cessful Cooperation among Maine Fruit
Growers" Briefly, some points of Pro-
fessor Hurd's excellent and thorough
covering Of the subject may be summar-
lied thus:
The first essential of any cooperative
enterprise is a spirit of mutual and far
seeing bslpfulness, not mere selfish
effort to secure temporary advantage.
Every body CO operates except the farm
or, who gets only forty per cent Of the
retail price of what he produces. The
great trusts combine for the purpose of
suppressing competition, controlling the
market and debating prices. True CO.
operation among farmers is differen,
thing, affordiug free competition and
giving every man his full chance. The
Grange with its thorough organization
il in a position to handle the question oil
cooperative effort II 1t will, but as !,
does not, cooperation must come
through other channels.
Cooperation Is practioed widely
among fhe producers in foreign couu-
tries, and the speaker gave numerous in
stances of organizations successful in
that line. In America four lines Of agri
culture have lent themselves to co-opera
tive effort. The organization OF the
grain growers Of the middle West had q
hard fight against the dealers, but 1t per
severed, and has established itself as a
success, to the profit of its members.
The banding together of producers Of
fruit is larger problem than the simple
matter of marketing the fruit.
Sufficient fruit must be raised by ar
organization to attract buyers.
The fruit must be of quality that viii
attract buyers The New England Frui
Show furnishes a demonstration OF thi'
fact. Western fruit can be driven out Of
our markets IL we will do it.
Cooperation must be practiced IL
; buying fertilizers, and in getting in
struction in grading and packing-psr
haps travelling fruit growing instructo
should be employed.
II Railroads must be dealt with by tn
association In the matter of making thai
wonderful product, railroad rates.
, Cooperative advertising should D.

should be maintained where 1t Will o
