Two belated disciples of Bacchus
staggered arm in arm up Walnut
street about 3 O'Clock the other morn
ing. The street was dark except for
a single ground glass globe that blazed
in front of an apartment house. One
of the inebriates, spying this lone
light, observed:
"Oh, look at Zhe moonsh"
The other seriously contradicted him,
saying:
"That amt no moonsh; Fash SUM-"
This started an argument, which
lasted for several minutes, as to wheth-
er the globe was the moon or the SUM-
Finally they decided to leave it to the
first passerby, who happened to be an
other "happy" gentleman. They stop.
ped him and, pointing to the globe,
asked:
Settle an argument, old pal. Is
that the moon or the sun"
The third party stared knowingly at
the globe for several minutes before
he shook his head and replied:
Gentlemen, l really couldn't tie
you. Pm stranger in this town.

Mr.. Henry Wallace, editor Of lead
ing western agricultural magazine and
a member of the country life commits
sion, who has taken some pains to
look into a number of western irriga-
ton projects carefully, sounds word
of warning that 1t would be well for
all prospective purchasers of land in
the vicinity of such enterprises to take
into account-namely, that before in
vesting the settler should have an alb
solute guarantee that the land he buys
supposedly under ditch, Is so located
that he can get water on it at those
seasons Of the year when water will
be most needed. He calls attention to
the fact that in number of private
irrigation enterprises land Is being
sold at high prices outside of the area
which could ever be adequately irri
gated by the water available. He cites
the fact that Uncle Sam Is straight
forward enough with settlers to state
the truth about the amount of land
which can be supplied with water
from given drainage enterprise, not
offering for sale more land than there
Is likelihood Of supplying with an ade-
quate amount of water. Mr.. Wallace
states that few Of the privately own
ed irrigation schemes are being man
aged as commercially as those which
are backed by the government, but
that they are the exception.

Readers who may be interested in
changing their location and have been
more or less interested in reports of
cheap farms for sale in some Of the
New England states would do we'll to
write to the States Land and Improve
ment company of Oneida, N. Y, for
it's descriptive bulletin Of farms which
are for sale in three or four of
the central counties of the Empire
State. The bulletin is vouched for by
the state experiment station officials.
The farms are well adapted to stock
and dairy purposes and fruit, vegetable
and poultry farms. There seems to be
little question that in the craze for
western lands eastern farms have been
abandoned or sold for song when
they were as we'll suited to the above
pursuits and could be worked with
much better prospect Of success than
many western tracts, to secure which
the former have been passed by. A
hurried perusal of the descriptions Of
some of these lands would seem to in
dictate that among them were some
first class bargains that will not go
begging long.

In order to clear up some confusion
which may exist in the minds of few
1t may be well to state that the Swedish
Select oats and the Regenerated Swed
ish Select are two distinct varieties
The former has been grown in the
northern states for number of years,
is thoroughly acclimated and is rated
by the department of agriculture as
being one Of the best varieties grown
in this country, if not the best. The
latter variety, the Regenerated Select,
is a type developed by an English seed
firm and, while remarkably vigorous
and giving a good deal of promise, is
still considered in the experimental
stage.

An Illinois farmer who evidently
mixes some brains with his work and
incidentally makes some observations
on his own account has suggested the
possibility of putting to new use a
system Of draintile which was put in
the ground primarily for the purpose
Of removing surplus water. His idea
is that in very dry seasons water
might be pumped into the upper end
Of such drainage systems, thus fur
nishing the soil with the moisture nee
essary to a proper maturing Of the
growing crops. The least that can be
said Of the proposition is that 1t is
original and unique. 1t is certainly
practicable If the water needed could
be pumped without too great expense.
The putting Of the above suggestion
into operation would be watched with
a good deal of interest
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-03-03

Considering the expense connected
with the laying of a system of tile,
from $40 to $12 per acre for the area
drained, it is well to have the work
done in the very best possible manner,
including the surveying and laying
out Of the system, the establishing Of
the proper grades, the selection of
good tile and the laying of them care
fully and evenly. A sag Of a few
inches in any section Of the system
will likely result In clogging Of this
portion and the putting of it out Of
commission. 1t costs money to tile
well and still more to tile poorly; hence
it is economy to do the job as it ought
to be done.

The increased prosperity of the
southern states during the past fifty
years is quite accurately gagged by
the production of cotton, its leading
agricultural crop. In the year 1860 the
cotton crop of the south was 1868, 700
bales and the price liz cents per
pound, the highest up to that time. In
the year 1907 the crop totaled 1850
760 bales, the price ranging from 1910
to 1855 cents per pound.

BRAVERY.

1t sometimes takes more bravery
to withstand the opposition or fellow
workers than it does to face the shots
of an army. To cspouse cause that
seems for the moment unpopular is.
greater heroism than to stop run
away team.
And yet, notwithstanding the fact
that more people drift with the tide"
than battle against It, Mr.. Carnegie's
medal commissioners would be very
busy indeed II they attempted to con-
fer medals for marked moral brav-
cry instead Of physical bravery.
Many of these little acts seem to
pass unnoticeG by the great, busy
world, but they are not unnoticed and
they are surely and steadily setting
an example and giving an education
and bent for the right to all those
who notice them, just as the coward
ly and polite are setting their exam
pie and giving their education for the
wrong.
In this connection we call attention
to the fact that two ministers In Or
den last Sunday entered their protest
against Ogden being made the dump
Ing ground of an evil that most other
states will not allow-namely, the bet
ting ring at the horse races They
might, very easily, have kept still on
the subject but they did not choose
to act the part of moral weaklings
In this connection, too, we wish 20
note that two councilmen, MesSrs.
Powers and Browning, voted against

christion people to concern themselves
directly with certain practical indus

the churches must stand for equal
rights and complete justice for all men
In all stations OF life.
2. For the right OF all men to the
opportunity for sclf-maintenance. a
right to be safeguarded against en-
croachments OF every kind. For the
right OF workers to some protection

3 For the principle of conciliation

4. For the protection OF the worker

D. For the abolition OF child labor
6. For such regulation of the con-

T. For the suppression Of the

8. For the gradual and reasonable

II. For suitable provision for the
old age Of the workers and for those
incapacitated by injury.
Now. 1t seems 10 me, that inasmuch
as the church is willing to help in this
great work, We should extend the hand
of fellowship. and prove to the world
that we are men among men They go
SO far as TO recommend that the study
of existing conditions in the industrial
world, their origin and outcome, be
more definitely enforced as an imme-
date christian duty, and that in theo-
logical seminaries, and in other schools
and colleges. courses in economies and
sociology be established.
Brother Dennis F HAYES Ga member
of the Roman Catholic church), fifth
vice-preslJent OF the American Fed
eration of Labor. said: That the dec
larations could not better have ex-
pressed the principles for which the
working men were striving If they had
been prepared in labor union In
view of what the council declared. Mr.,
Hayes said he felt the responsibility
was on the working men to do their
part and cooperate with the churches
in establishing the principles taught
by Christ and which they all believed"
Now, brothers. let us do our part,
and follow up the example Of our
leaders, and cooperate with the recog-
nized force, that has. in all time past,
and will in all time to come, set the
standard of public morals and prac-
tice.
