the people want Any defective legislation in the future
Idaho is to be charged directly the people, if they i'll

AN OPEN LETTER

To the people Of Richfield and vi
cinity:
Since the appointed committee
made its round to ascertain the gen
eral sentiment concerning resident
minister for Richfield and to deter
mine the salary that could be reason
ably offered, many others, some who
were not seen by the committee and
some who were undecided at the time
have offered to add to the monthly
contribution.
Such additional practical recogni-
ton of the need of resident pastor
is appreciated as the amount sub
scribed was insufficient to meet the
small amount promised by the stew
ards of the church, but even should
the amount contributed exceed the
amount promised, the surplus will
be put to equally good purpose. The
building of the church with other
incurred Indebtedness places the peo-
pie of the church under heavy obli-
cation which must be met as soon
as possible and every contribution.
Whatever the amount, will help les
sen that obligation.
All contributions or donations of
a financial character is placed in the
church fund from which the pastors
salary is paid, the surplus is applied
towards meeting the other financial
obligations of the church. A careful
record of all receipts is kept and all
accounts approved by the respective
boards of the church. Hence every
contribution will receive due recog-
milton and win be applied for the pur-
pose for which it is given. Any per
son desiring to add to the present
contributions, may make it known to
either of the church officials and they
will be waited on at the beginning of
each month, or it may be left with
Mr.. York Denton, the church treas
urer, at the office OF the Weeter
Lumber Co., and due account will
be made of the same. We would add
that all contributors may leave their
contributions at the same place and
their name will be Immediately adj
1ed to the list of the paid Such lit
lie Inconvenience Oh the part of the
contributors will save the collecting

a ministry, nor are they altogether hopeless should that majority be large. It would not be the first time in Brit ish history that the conservatives have stolen their opponents thunder.
 There has been change in the Brit ish attitude regarding home rule of late years. Slow as the people are to re- ceive new ideas. when one has been kept steadily before them for quar- ter of century it begins to penetrate. The process has been hastened by MT Chamberlain's imperialist campaign and the flood of information regard ing the provinces of the empire that has poured on England since it began. It is now possible for the average IInglishman to draw analogies between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, intensely loyal in spite of self-government, and Ireland, and the stock arguments against home rule have been refuted by the conservative leaders in their advocacy of closer i'm perial union. Even Mir. Balfour might now without inconsistency propose some measure for the relief of Ireland which would not be thrown out by reformed house of lords.
 A policy of masterly inaction seems to be imposed on the Irish members while Great Britain is deciding be- tween lords and commons They are pretty sure to profit whichever way the election turns.-N. '. Sun.

INVITED IeNoMINY.

A Chicago policeman, by his own declaration, has become "a live cow ard instead of a dead lion." He was in pursuit of a desperado when he fell victim to fear and retreated to what he deemed place of safety, and when taunted of cowardice he openly admitted that he preferred to be "a live coward to a dead Hon." and the result was that he was deposed from office in disgrace. His badge was taken from him. his buttons cut off and he was drummed out of police service in disgrace.
 The fact that this is an exceptional case speaks we'll for the American police officer as a class. A good many brave men are sacrificed in this pub lie service every year, and the true public guardian does not halt to think of himself when he is in pursuit of a rogue or a desperado.
 This unfortunate man. who did not realize the value of silence when it might have served him well, may have to change his name and lose himself to his old record and ridiculers in or der to once more find peace and en- joyment on this earth.

 FARMING ON A BIG SCALE.

We do not know much about farm ing upon big scale in these New England valleys of ours. It is a west ern method which is gradually being recognized in the east as among the possibilities even here, and of this MT Hale of South Glastonbury is the most noted exponent. Our large orchards have their hundreds of trees, while not farther away than Jersey trees are counted by the thousands. This is what New Jersey records: An orchard with 30,000 apple trees, 5000 pear trees, 4.000 peach trees and thirty acres of grapevines. And then think of another with 12s acres of pear trees, 120 acres of peaches, ITO acres of ap- ples and fifty acres of chestnuts.
 The Newark News says: "The facts are that New Jersey raises not only the best peaches the world ever ate, but that it can, as President Black of the state horticultural society says, compete with the west in the produc- ton of apples, both in size and color. Fruit of greater beauty and excel lence than the specimens shown at the society's annual meeting can't be found anywhere. The truth is that New Jerseys agricultural and horti- cultural resources haven't been devel- oped to anything like their possibili- ties as yet"
 This may all be said as a truth of Connecticut. We arc getting the in- spiration and some of our leading farmers have profitable orchards which are object lessons for those who would do big things in this field.

CIRCULATION
COVERING EVERY AVENUE.

Greed is the mother of trusts and the trusts seek to cover every avenue to wealth. even to the cornering of the provender and the candy in which we find daily sustenance and delight. The Independent candy makers say that the trust can never control their business. but the way in which the great candy factories make all sorts of confections by machinery by tons and tons and send 1t to market by the carload, the bucket. the barrel and the box, one cannot help feeling that the large right hand of a trust has a grip upon the business already. They cannot. of course, hold up the Aunt Elizabeths who figure as home candy makers and none make nicer or purer bonbons, or interfere with the "candy pulls" which are not so popular now as they were in other days. The man who turns out molasses candy in the shop window and the woman whose kitchen is fragrant with the odor of cooking sweetmeats have no reason to fear that they will not always enjoy the freedom of making candy as they like 1t when they like. We love the fine confections of the small man. ufacturers-the pure candies of the home candy-makers. Long may they thrivei

MAY HAVE A CHANGE.

The department of agriculture at Washington may give the farmers sons of New England the same oppor- tunity by and by that was given to the farm boys of the south. The com petition there was upon the cultiva- tion of one acre of corn and no less than 12,500 boys competed for the prizes. A few days ago Secretary Wilson presented diplomas of merit to four boys, all under eighteen, for special proficiency in agriculture. Sec retary Wilson said no boys ever had received a similar recognition of their merit, and nothing he had done since he became secretary of agriculture gave him more pleasure.
 These diplomas are not the only re- wards earned. The superintendent of farm demonstration work in the south, Dr. Knapp, offered a trip to Washing ton to the Mississippi boy who should obtain the best results. The Arkan- sas bankers offered a similar reward in that state. Citizens of Virginia and South Carolina duplicated these of fers.
 Thousands of dollars worth of prizes were awarded, in addition to those re- ferred to, and the results of the boys work were almost phenomenal. The average crop was sixty bushels, but the highest prize yields were from 122 to 152 1-2 bushels.
 This competition was all in the south, and the diplomas went to four bright, industrious boys in Virginia Mississippi. Arkansas and South Car olina.
 It is noted that the money awards and prizes are not of the most value but the spirit aroused and the inter- est generally awakened in farming are vastly more important.
 Our New England youth may be re- lied upon to make a proud record when the opportunity is offered.

than balloon of the same capacity filled with coal gas. or alternately the size of a balloon with the same lift ing power could be reduced by 30 per cent.
 This balloon gas contains upwards of 80 per cent. of hydrogen, while the content of methame, the most difficult to decompose is reduced to 5 or 2 per cent. The gas has only very slight smell and contains neither benzol nor any other heavy hydrocarbons capable of attacking the balloon cover. The theoretical fact that coal gas is de- composed by great heat, which under lies the process, has long been known. and seems to have first been discov- cred by Bunte about 40 years ago. However. the difficulties so far expe- rienced in utilizing the reaction for the production of a light gas on an industrial scale have proved far great CT than might have been expected. The most important point was to pro- duce this gas during the ordinary op- eration of the gas works and in the same ovens as those in which the or dinary coal gas is generated. The in- Yentor therefore used the vertical ovens of the Dessau gas works. He is now engaged in experiments intend ed to ascertain whether the process is adaptable also to horizontal ovens and other types.

It was the day before Christmas. John Choate lifted the handle of the shining brass knocker with a heart that was full of boyish daring, and the sound of the rapping echoed triumph antly through the house. The man felt as if he had parted with twenty years of his existence; they had grad ually faded from his reckoning the aft- ernoon before as the train carried him away from the city toward his ances- tral town among the hills, and when he had stepped onto the station plat form at the end of his journey, John Choate had forgotten the gray hairs on his head and the grip of things pro- fessiOnal was very far away.
 All night he had kept the illusion wikh him, and the morning sunshine had cast radiance on its reality. Up under the caves of the Choate home stead he had slept in his old room with the familiar tune of sleety rain-drops pattering on the roof and with the morning he had looked out at the tiny paned window and seen the glistening fields of his boyhood streaked with long lines of shadows as the sun blinked just above the horizon; the naked elns stood gaunt as ever along the winding road, and on the distant height the Seaver homestead was bright with the dawning day.
 l III SOlll5 up lO 0SC 11CbAhc eAAAo morning." he declared.
 And so it came about that John Choate set the knocker on the Seaver door to ringing forth the warning of his presence.
 'Why, John Choate!"
 A little woman with big black eyes opened the door and held out welcom- ing hands. The man knew it was Betina, grown very like her mother.
 q dared to lift this knocker, Betina," he said as he took both hands in his and bent over them with gentle cour- tesy.
 And we didn't used to hardly dare look at it when it had just been pol ishedl" laughed back Betina.
 The man shook his head and fol- lowed the little woman across the wide hall: in the sitting room an open fire burned on the hearth and he spread out his hands before the blaze, though he knew quite well the room was warmed by a radiator over by the wall-somehow he resented the gilded thing as an imDoster.
 You look marvellously like your father John!" said Betina. looking up at him. as he warmed his hands with the gestures she remembered of his father
 "They say that each generation of Choates produces one -simile of the original John!"
 Betina laughed gently. And we always have a Betina among the girls!"
 Then she spoke of the old romantic | legacy of John and Betina; how it was that the first generation of Choates and Seavers, who had taken their grants of land from an English king, had hoped for the union of a John | Choate and Betina Seaver, and when l that had failed the wish had been re-
