By a number of very apt anecdotes
DR.. Newcomb illustrated his talk
which in substance was: Too MANY

every drop OF blood: every nerve;
every effort 70 succeed. Like Elisha

VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Census Bureaus Statement Concern
ing Method Of Ascertaining it.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March ii
Inquiries have been made Of the !
census bureau whether farm products !,
should be valued by farmers, in re-
plying to census enumerators, at the
general wholesale prices or at the
actual prices obtained by the pro-
Queer 1t was pointed out by the in
quirers that many farmers sell a
proportion of their eggs for breeding,
at much higher than the regular
price. Others sell part or all OF their
milk, butter, and cream, at retail.
Quite a number sell pure.bred live
stock of various kinds at more or less
fancy prices. The bureaus CORES
pondents are of the opinion that IL
sales are quoted in this way in the
census reports. the results might be
somewhat uncertain as basis for the
average market prices.
Responding to these inquiries, Cen
sus Director Durand states that in
! forming it's inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes-
/ tic animals and fowls, the census
/ bureau must necessarily follow the
/ lines laid down in the law governing
! it's action. That law requires the
bureau to ascertain the number and
/ value of animals and fowls. The value
sought Is not the value of some par
ticular class of animals or fowls, but
i OF all animals and fowls. 1t is the
amount at which the animals and
fowls can be sold. Good pure-blooded
animals will sell for more, and thus
have greater value, than the poor
animals. Where there are many pure,
FLOODED. the average will be higher
than where the opposite condition Of
affairs prevails, but, as matter o!
fact, the pure-blooded animals are So
thoroughly distributed that they lef
no appreciable influence upon thu
average published by the Twelfth
| Census. except in the case of tn
young colts of the state Of New Jersey
No appreciable influence on thu
average price or value of eggs, mill
or butter is observed in consequence
of the practice mentioned by the in
, ouirers. The high-priced eggs, milk
' butter, etc, are found about as muc
in one part of the country as in al
4 other. The average which the Ger
sus will publish is not that of pal
i ticular class of eggs. but of all egg
produced. 1t is the same for all an
mails, fowls and animal products. TIL
relative number and value of the an
r mails and products to which specifi
r attention has been called Dies nc
@ exert, for the country as whole c
9 for many of the states, an infuenc
sufficient to make the average pul
lished by the census materially diffe
ent from the average market prices.

SUNDAY FISHING LAW

Sportsmen in different parts Of the
State are organizing to have the
coming legislature repeal the provis
ions of the fish code of 1907 that spe
officially prohibits Sunday fishing.
Commissioner of Fisheries Meehan
says that "no reason for prohibiting
Sunday fishing exists, except on NOR
al and religious grounds" The same
may be said of many other kinds of
Sabbath desscration One argument
in favor is that many men can find
little or no time to fish during the
week days, and that if parks and
other recreation resorts are allowed
to operate Sundays they should be al.
lowed to pass their time in their fav-
orite amusement
The repeal would not affect the
Act of 1894 called the blue law which
prohibits Sunday work and those
who felt aggrieved might have re-
course to that. But does the moral
sentiment OF Pennsylvania wish to
open Sunday as day in which its
people may line its streams and fish,
without fear of the civil law. There
are men who will not spare time
from their every day avocations
and pursuits to fish or take other rec
reation and who want to take Sun.
day so as to lose no time from bust.
ness, but what Of the effect of such
examples on the youth of the State.
We should have here probably a
horde of men from other States and
the cities starting out sunday morn
ings to line our STREAMS, and what
could be said to the boys who would
want to emulate the example of gen.
tlemen who presumably should wish
TO set them one 20 follow with profit
and which would lead them to be
good citizens. The Sabbath as day
of rest is falling into disrepute fast
enough without legalizing something
which will hasten that deplorable
end.

Sees A Light.

The Philadelphia Press last week
published an editorial which is called
a revolt against the methods of nom.
mating party candidates and the
character of some OF the men nomin
ated. The sentiments expressed have
been approved by a number of or
ganization papers and several prOmi.
nent republicans. The expression is
general that delegates should be sent
to conventions who will not vote at
the dictation of leader but who will
think and act for themselves ard
that men Of high character, against
whose regulations for honesty and
good judgment columns based on
facts cannot be written. The Con-
gresham and candidates for the leg
islature who were defeated because
of the feeling against the head of the
ticket which caused a great falling
off In the vote now realize that there
should be a revolt against the insc-
lence Of the State organization and
that the party should be rehabilitat.
ed in the confidence of the people. It
is pity that the consciences Of these
"revolters" could not have quick
ened and their tongues loosened be-
fore they saw the party go down to
a practical defeat. However repen.
tance and turning from evil ways is
better late than never.

The facts are that two County

the contract and notified Spencer of
their act. None of the goods had

brought suit with the above result.
Under the law governing the trial
of causes in the U. S. Courts no
equitable de efense is permitted hence
the County was prevented by the
ruling of the court from presenting
any testimony showing the condi.
tions under which the contract was
made or any attendant circumstances.
1t was held that if contract was
made which bound the County the
County was liable in damages if it
did not permit the contract to be full
filed. Under these conditions it was
a simple matter for the plaintiff. to
make out his case. The result is en-
tightening as showing the profits in
such material as was contracted f r

ty may have to pay the verdict.

may amount to over $4,000, yet by
careful management she may be able
to obtain. the necessary filing cases,
doors and a vault to accommodate the
books and papers at less sum than
$4,000 and sU in the end she will net
be out much more money.
The suit emphasizes the necessity
of care and good judgment in max.
ing contracts in which the public has
an interest. 1t can hardly be CON
ceived that such profits as are shown
above are legitimate and that IL
proper competition was permitted
that they could be obtained, or
would be asked by any firm doing a
fair business. If the firms dealing
in such goods are in a combine to
maintain sUch profits then the Coun-
ty better use wood and stone which
have served the purpose for many
years.
