promised to visit this state some time

Of this year If he will stay long
enough Texas will finish the process

IL he prolong his visit sufficiently to

by means of current motors floated
on the river in the unique method to
be employed by w. T. Adds, an "r-
chadst, in supplying moisture for l07
acres of fruit land in the Spokane val
ley. Two motors are required "h'
apparatus derives its power by the
force from the current OF the stream
and is used in operating pumps. The
plan is new one in the Northwest,
where irrigation has been practised
twenty years in the cultivation of or
chards and garden truck farms, and
if it is successful here it is litoly that
similar plants will be established in
districts having flowing streams, The
motor is not patented and can be man
ufactured in any wellcQuipped shop at
a small expense. The originator of
the plan has tried it out on the Snake
river, south of Spokane, and on other
streams where il proved successful
in driving pumps for lifting water
used on the lands.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES

The first rural improvement society of
which we have any record was formed in
New Haven in 1899, under the lead of
James Hlllhouse, the leading subscribing
manager. He called it the ''Village Green
Association" and gathered subscrip-
ton of $500 for the work. One of the
results of this association was the plant
ing of the magnificent elms which gives
New Haven the name of the elm city. "
Coming down to the modern revival of
the improvement societies it is said that
sharp remark made by summer visi
tor because of the unhygienic and I'M
lovely condition of Stockbridge, Mass,
was the primary cause of the formation
Of the first village Improvement society
in the United States in recent times. In
1858, Mrs J. C. Goodrich, then Miss
Mary Gross Hopkins, after great
struggle, succeeded in forming an associ.
alton in Stockbridge, which then had all
the faults of the ordinary country village,
muddy, uneven streets, absence of decent
sidewalks, shabby ill-kept fences, weeds
and all the other denominations too ia
miliar to country life. The first year
81, 900 was raised and over 400 trees
were drained and graded, fences taken
down, sidewalks provided and a proper
system of lighting and watering intro
duced.
The association has paid one-half the
cost of the pretty railroad station and
one-half the cost of an acre and half
of ground around the station, which is
provided with trees, flowers and shrub
berry.
There is no doubt that the beauty of
Stockbridge, due largely to the efforts
of the improvement society, has induced
many of the wealthy people who have
summer homes, which are really palaces,
to select this section of the Berkshire
hills.
Honesdale, Penn, has an improvement
association, formed in 1892, which next
to that at Stockbridge, is perhaps best

The Late George NJ. Warren.

Hon. George M. Warren, who died at
his home in Castine, July oath, of Bright g
disease, was county attorney for Han
cock county for several years; was rep
resentative to the legislature and had
been member of the Governors coun-
ell twice and was one of the auditors for
the State for several years. He was COL
lector of customs for the district of Cas-
tine from 1890 to 1894, and from 1898 to
1906, making three terms. He was a
strong supporter of the Methodist Church,
OF which he was member. He was born
at Deer Isle, and was son Of Thomas
Warren. He was graduate of Wesleyan
University, and after engaging in sew
eral kinds of business, read law with
Hon. c. ]. Abbott of Castine and was
admitted to the Hancock county bar, of
which he has since been member. He
leaves widow, one son, Raymond War
rem of Stonington, and a sister, Miss
Amanda Warren of Portland. The funer-

This simple device is not new Its viz
tue has been proclaimed before, but it is
comparatively unknown in this part of
the country. Some years ago Missouri
farmer, named Batterton, with an enthu-
slasm for good roads, was accustomed to
hitch drag of this construction to his
wagon when he drove to town. 1t took
him but little more time to make the
trip with this handicap, and in few
months he had a road that was better
than most of the rock-bedded kind. 1t
naturally attracted attention, resulting
in a brotherhood of good road drag
gers, which recently held celebration,
with parade half a mile long to give
emphasis to its achievements. The legis-
lature of the State has passed a resolu-
ton proposing to submit to the people
the question of levying a tax of half a
mill on each dollar of assessed valuation
to be set apart and apportioned to each
county for road dragging In different
way the legislature of Wisconsin has
made provision for similar service.
In a letter to the Springfield Republi-
can a citizen of New Marlboro, whose
initials point to former successful west
ern Massachusetts journalist, who in re-
cent years had travelled widely at home
and abroad, reviews the development of
this method along the foregoing lines,
and states that road drag, built accord
ing to Government specifications, has
been constructed and presented to his
town. These specifications he thinks
could be bettered, but none the less the
result of the experiment will be awaited
with interest. New Marlboro is one of
the southernmost towns of Berkshire,
noted for its scenic beauties and bad
roads. The latter are better than for
merly, but still far from good The town
makes the most of its claims to distinc-
ton. Last year it commemorated the
two years citizenship of Elihu Burritt
by dedicating bronze tablet to his mem
DRY. This year, in about three weeks, it
will celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary Of its founding, on the an
nual Old Home Day. If it could couple
with that worthy event the beginning of
good roads" era, through the good
offices of the split-log drag, the latter
would be quite as epochal as the former.

COAL IN MASSACHUSETTS,

For the first time since the beginning
of the Geological Surveys series of an
nual reports on mineral resources of the
United States, Massachusetts appears in
the list of coal producers. The produc-
ton is not of great commercial impor-
lance, but it is Of local interest. 1t
amounted to fifty tons of brown coal,
or Ignite, and was mined at Vineyard
Haven, on the island of Martha's Vine
yard, Dukes county. All of the output
was used in the manufacture Of clay
products by the company mining it. It
was valued at So ton, this figure being
based on the cost of other fuel that
would do an equivalent amount Of work.
Some coal, classed as anthracite, was
formerly mined in the eastern part of
Rhode Island and in the adjoining coun-
ties of Bristol and Plymouth in Massa-
chusetts, but for number of years none
has been mined in that region for fuel
purposes. This coal has really passed
the anthracite stage and is of graphite
character. Some of it has been mined
recently and used as graphite. 1t is re-
ported that an attempt will be made to
utilize this coal as fuel by a process
which includes the application of an in
expensive chemical that will aid in COM
bustion. If successful this venture will
be OF considerable interest.

A Healthy Person Needs Good Breakfast

DIR. Woods Hutchinson, iconoclast-in-
ordinary to the medical profession, as
usual upsets our previous ideas of bodily
health IN an article in Woman's Home
Companion for August Doctor Hutchin-
son has faculty for restoring to US our
self-respect, and assuring US that, left
alone, we are not such idiots, after ALL
In this particular article, for instance,
he points out that the idea of eating lit
tie in the summertime is fallacy. Of
breakfast, for instance, he says:
ut is customary to make the first
meal of the day slightly the lightest and
distinctly the plainest and simplest of
the three. If there be any deficiency of
the appetite, breakfast is the meal at
which this is most likely to show itself.
But this lack of appetite is in nine cases
out of ten clearly traceable to sleeping
in an unventilated room or to late hours
in foul air the night before, or to insult
ficient exercise the preceding day, and is
no indication that the body really re-
quires less food at this time. Perfectly
healthy men who sleep with their win
dows open and go to bed at reasonable
hour will tell you that they enjoy their
breakfast as we'll as any other meal Of
the day, and many even call it their best
meal.
Another popular delusion in regard to
the lightness and unimportance of the
breakfast is that widespread subterfuge,
the continental breakfast, consisting of
cup of coffee and some fruit or single
roll. This is a very pretty breakfast as
far as it goes, but it doesn't go far; and
the sole basis for its adoption on the
continent is that it is only intended as a
temporary tide-over, until the real
breakfast of meat, eggs, fish with beer
or wine, which is taken al about ten or
eleven O'Clock, like very early luncheon.
If you haven't got good appetite for
breakfast, make it your business to go
and get one, instead of allowing yourself
to be blinded by this morbid state of af-
fairs and deciding that all you really need
is cup of coffee and roll or an orange
or puff of breakfast-bran.

MAINE FORESTS SAFE.
Vast Increase in Spruce and Pine During
the Past 80 Years.


Nearly 30 years ago the State land
agent Of Marie estimated the stand of
spruce at 5,0O0,00O,000 feet and the
stand of pine at ATS, 000,0 900 feet. On
this report Prof. Sargent, in 1880, said:
''The original pine and spruce forests of
Maine have been practically destroyed. y
Hon. Edgar E. Ring, State forestry
commissioner, now estimates the stand
of spruce in Maine at Fl, 233, 900, 900 feet.
The St. Johns watershed alone, he esti-
mates, contains 6,942, ,000,0 900 feet of
spruce, 427,O0O,000 feet of pine and l.
$50, 600, 900 feet of cedar. The sawmills
of Maine turn out annually little more
than 1,000,000,000 feet of lumber. OF
this quantity, at least so per cent is
spruce, the spruce production ranging
from 500, 600, 600 to $50, 900, 600 feet an
nually. Commissioner Ring estimates
that the forests, rightly handled, will
year continuously.
by the State land agents of Maine in
1880 and 1909 shows the absurdity of
many of the statements which are based
on supposition, inaccurate data, or i'm
agination. In less than 80 years the es-
timated spruce resources Of Maine have
increased little over fourfold, and at
the same time the production of spruce
lumber and spruce pulp has gained very
rapidly.
The timber resources of other sections
have been similarly misrepresented. AS
result the denudatics have centered at
tention on themselves momentarily, but
questions of this sort always are open
for the admission of new evidence. On
absolute forest land the United States
should be capable of producing sufficient,
or more than sufficient, lumber to satisfy
the requirements of consumers, even at
the present high rate of consumption.

THE VALUE OF A SPLIT LOG.

If Government statistics are depend
able there are in the United States about
two million miles of earth road, or enough
to encompass the earth eighty times. The
problem Of keeping them in repair is an
ever-recurring one and not in many places
has it been satisfactorily solved. In
searching for remedy for trouble we
sometimes follow the trail of empiricism
so eagerly as to overlook the simple re-
lief that all the while confronts us. It
may be so in this case, and if one of mis-
placed confidence the Government must
bear large share of the responsibility,
because it has issued bulletin commend
ing what is called the "split-log drag"
and describing it's proper construction.
Any individual or community desiring a
copy can get one free by applying to the
