Of the new organization and the board

now acting in the same capacity for the
three lines. The central Offices Of the
company viii be located in Washington,
II is stated. and the future plans of the
company include the building near Wash
ington or in Alexandria Of car shops Of
sufficient size 10 not only repair the
cars of the lines. but build new ones.
The merging OF the roads, while not
directly affecting any but the higher Of
Metals, Is stated 10 be the first step to-
ward q future consolidation with the
Gould interests. who are now building
electric lines from Richmond to Wash
ington
The Gould road is already in operation
from Richmond TO Ashland, and it is
stated that surveys have been made for
entrance 20 Washington over two routes.
The Goulds will either gain an entrance
10 the city through Occoquan, where they
have already acquired extensive water
power rights by means OF the existing
tracks Of the Washington, Alexandra
and Mount Vernon 10 Alexandria. or
through Manassas, where connection
could be made with the Washington. Ar
hngton and Mount Vernon line. The iden-
tity OF these two lines is practically the
same. as the Falls Church line was in
1903 leased ythe Alexandria road for a
fifty-five year term.
Virginia Opened Up.
Local gossip credit the Gould interests
with the idea Of opening up a direct
pathway 10 the valley OF Virginia be-
tween the Potomac and Occoquan rivers
by taking over these lines and establish
ing AT Fredericksburg and Occoquan
large electric power plants, and placing
a comparatively well settled section of
Virginia IN direct communication with
Washington. The only existing means OF
transportation now existing is by steam
er and stage lines, and the value
of such an opening to Washington is IN
questioned.

NEWS OF THE WEEK

the aid Of the Laborite party OF about
the same strength as the Unionist
plurality, so that they will still con-
troll the government. The two govern
ment parties are so weak, however,
that the power will really be in the
hands OF the Nationalists, Irishmen
who are after home rule and nothing
else. 1t is predicted that the most OF
the session will be taken up with an
attempt TO reform the House of Lords,
and TO pass the budget. and that the
Irishmen will get nothing, in spite
Of promises.
AGAINST WATERWAYS:-A re-
port which has been made by an ex-
pert commission to the Government
on the scheme for deep water way
between the Great Lakes and the
Gulf, is against the scheme. on the
ground that there would not be enough
commerce to pay for the cost. Il is
added that the streams are not now
carrying all the commerce they would
bear and that there is no reason TO
expect the amount TO increase, what
ever the facilities.
WRECK KILLS THIRTY:-Thru a
trains running off a bridge in Cana
da last wock, thirty people, at least
were killed. and over twenty were in
jured. Several OF the cars were I'M
der water, and the unfortunate pass
cngers were drowned like rats in a
trap. 1t is possible that there may
still be bodies in the river. A bliz-
zard and the burning OF the wreck,
added all possible horrors to the
catastrophe.

1t Pays to be Kind to the Mule

Il know the mule is much maligned
by many who talk and write about him,
but there is no animal that is easier
to handle If treated kindly" says Mr..
w. d. Neal in Farm and Fireside;
continuing: Not long ago ! was talk
ing to a successful grower of mules,
who said that he would rather break
a team Of mules than a team of horses
the mules being not nearly so nerv-
Gus, and steadier goers. Kindness is
his policy in dealing with them. There
is no doubt that the mule is as sus-
ceptibe to decent treatment as any
other animal, and it is not necessary
for man to be armed with a club
when driving a span of mules. / haN G
seen mules, whose dispositions had
not been warped by brutal treatment,
so dependable that the owner was able
to drop the lines at any time and &c
whatever work he had in hand without
fear of their running or raising ads
turbance. So / take off my hat 20
the mule whether he be from Missouri
or any other state in the Union, fer
he is the farmers friend, his burden
bearer, and a money-maker wherever
you put him."

The Size of 1t

The editor of a newspaper Is Of
ten accused of leaving out certain
items of news purely. because Of a
dislike of the person to be mentioned,
or from prejudice OF another cause
This is all bosh. The editor has some
thing like a million different things
to think of in connection with the is
sue OF one paper and it is not surpris-
ing If he misses an item occasionally,
or sometimes forgets one which
has been called TO his attention. Nine
out of ten people you ask for news
items will tell you they can't think
of any. But in most cases they eX-
pect the editor to think Of them all
and criticise him if he fails in a sim
gle item. The best way is TO give the
editor credit for what he does find
and mention or some things that he
finds and doesn't mention.-Ex.

Gumption on the Farm

A rundown farm needs winding up.
Defeat to successful man is only
tonic
A man is often known by his paths
through the snow.
Some advice is no good until it Is
tested, and some is no good afterward
Many a mans honesty has kept
him from biting on a get rich-quick
scheme.
A five-cent pocketbook may be the
means of making a business man out
of your boy.
1t is folly to strike while the iron
is hot unless you first know what you
are going to make Of it,
The thing that never comes to any
of us, is the thing that is as bad as
we think it's going to be.
When the devil cannot tempt a man
to give up good fight any other way
he offers him broader field"
The snail does not break any speed
records, but often it goes farther and
TO better purposes than a two-minute
nag on a race track.
Is the heavy wagon getting a little
rusty? Let it go and it may be spoil
ed by the weather in few years. But
you can paint it yourself. Take it all
apart on the barn floor where you can
shut the doors and keep out the cold;
get some nice smooth wagon paint
and good brush, roll up your sleeves
put on a pair of old overalls and go
at 1t.

have been to Berea / do not need to
write because most of them come back
The college has about % buildings

ers who know their business.

to encourage the boys and girls who
have never been away from home
and who thought of leaving this win
ter. The people are sociable and it
will not take long for new students
to get acquainted, you only need to
attend one meeting of the Y. NJ. C.

there are seven) to know that you
have a number of friends.

Who lays down his dollar and offers

And casts round the office hallow

Who never says stop it, cannot

Or getting more papers each day thar

But always says send it, the whole

In fact we regard it a business need. "
How welcome is he when he steps

We outwardly thank him, We inward

Washington, Jan. 20-'The English
sparrow is the pirate Of the air just
as the rat is the freebooter of the
earth and ought to be exteriminated.
So rules the Department of Agricul-
ture in a bulletin published, which
also tells how to get rid of him.
He studiously hunts and eats insects
which are beneficial to plant life,
while he passes over more or less
those which are harmful
The only good thing he does is TO
eat the seed of weeds and prevent
their spread. Aside from that there Is
nothing in his favor. More than that,
he is murderOus.
He hunts the nesting places and de-
stroys eggs and young blue birds,
house wrens, tree swallows and barn
swallows The robin, the cat bird and
mocking bird he attacks and drives
out of parks and shade trees. He has
no song, but he drives out the song
birds and he brings only noise IN
return.
After having learned all this about
the sparrow, after an extensive in
vestigatiOn, the Department of Agri-
culture shows a way to destroy him.
First, whenever Gparrows roost around
your house, destroy their nests. If
they roost along your caves trough
drive them away with a long pole By
destroying nests wherever they are
seen the increase can be prevented.
The sparrow likes TO nest in cavities
and he can be trapped there. He will
roost in boxes that may be put up
to make his capture easy. He may be
lured to grain and shot and killed in
other ways or may be poisoned.
Wheat shocked in strychnine is said
to be preferable. This method has
been adopted in California. where il
was necessary to protect fruit. A
sparrow's stomach will hold about
thirty kernels of wheat, but six or
seven properly treated with strych-
nine will kill him.
