Bank Money-Pay by Check.

A recent occurrence brought to our
notice causes us to say a word to the re-
tail merchants about banking. 1t is bad
business today for . business man or, in
deed, for an ordinary individual, to pay
bills in cash. When payment by check
today is so universal as it is in the pres
ent period of the worlds existence the
payment of bills, either business or DOM
estic, in cash is antiquated, and is far
more safe. A mere memorandum or
an entry in book to the effect that a
bill was paid on such q day is not proof
positive that the bill was paid. Retail
dealers should pay as little cash out over
the counter or from the money drawer
as possible. All money received should
be deposited in the bank and then bills
paid by check. A check is a receipt and
it is rendered still more a receipt if it is
stated on the face of the check what it
was given for. There is no objection to
entering into particulars as to what the
check paid for, on the face ofthe check
and it is the safest kind of a guarantee
tha the bill has been paid. Dealers, no
matter how small or how limited their
operations, should use the bank.-Retail
Grocer and Tradesman.

DO TREES AFFECT CLIMATE.

II. G. Frankenfield, professor of mete-
orology in the United States weather
bureau service at Washington, has un-
dertaken to solve the question
"What has forest to do with eli
mate?"
At Wagon Wheel Gap on a watershed
near the headwaters of the Rio Grande,
he has begun to establish his station
where his men will measure, rain, snow.
water and even sunshine. He returned
to Denver this morning to confer with
Forecaster Brandenberg and with Dis
trict Forester Smith Riley.
The investigation which will probably
occupy three years, is the result OF .
difference of opinion between the for
estry men and the weather bureau as to
the influence of forests on climate. The
weather men are inclined to think that
the forestry men attach too much signif-
icance of the presence of trees. but the
difference is wholly friendly one.
Mr.. Frankenfed will keep two or
three men at the observation station to
make records every day in the year un-
til Frankenfeld thinks he has sufficient
data. Then he will have the forest on
one side of the slope cut down and more
observations will be taken to show the
effect of the absence Of trees. The for
est on the water shed covers about ! 200
acres. The slope is 500 feet to the mile.
1T was discovered long ago." said Mr..
Frankenfeld, that forests do not bring
rain, as the Biographies used to state.
But exactly what they do nobody knows
to certainty and that is what we are
going to find out. 1t may take 10 years
to do it, but we are going to get facts"
The men at the experiment station are
B. F. Kaden, who conducted the exper-
imsnts of the Government at the Salton
Sea to determine the rate of evapora-
ton; Ranger Tiltson of the forest ser
vice and H. A. Jones of the weather
bureau at Washington.-Denver Times.

INTERESTING COURT DECISION.


A court decision has lately been rem
dersd in Massachusetts, on what consti-
tutes subscriber. The judge held that
the man who received the paper, al
though he never subscribed, must pay
for it. 1t appears that James Thompson
moved, and William Robinson took i'm
mediate possession of his residence, re-
ceiving and accepting a weekly news
paper that was delivered to him through
the mails every week. The good-natur-
ed editor sent accounts frequently, but
no attention was paid to them by Mr..
Robinson. Finally, after Robinson had
received the paper for some time, he In
formed the collector that he had never
subscribed and declined to pay for 1t.
The case was taken to court and the
Judge questioned the defendant, who
said that he had read and made use of
the paper and was receiving the bills,
which were frequently inclosed in it,
Judgment was rendered in favor of the
newspaper. The court held that it was
the duty ofthe defendant to notify the
publisher if he did not wish the paper,
and to pay for the issues he received.

The Alliance Commercial Club has
received a communication from the
Electric Mica Company of Custer City,
South Dakota, asking if Alliance busi-
ness men would be interested in the
establishment of mica mill in Alliance
The mill, if located in Alliance, would
furnish employment for so to rs people
to start with. The Electric Mica Com
pany, which is capitalized at 100000,
owns property at Custer City which they
consider worth that amount. They de-
sire to sell stock to the amount of $25,- =
600 for the purpose of building mill
and equipping it with the necessary ma
chinery. The writer of the letter offers
to come to Alliance and demonstrate his
proposition if the Alliance business men
are interested. 1t is probable that the
Commercial Club will ask him to come
down and explain the proposition.-Lin-
coin (Neb. Trade Review.

1t may be a source of encouragement
to those living in the poorer crop sec
tions this year to consider that lack of
crop this season may be blessing in
disguise. One of the nearest total crop
failures in this country in 1894 was fol-
lowed by an immense crop the next
year. Little or no grain on the land
that year had the same effect as summer
following. The land probably had its
Sabbatical rest and rewarded the hus-
bandmen the next season. 1t may be
the same next year. We shall hope for
the best and trust that such results will
follow.-Minnesot and Dakota Farmer.

Open Air Room In Schools.

Zone open-air room in every new
school building" is the policy which the
Board of Education of Pawtucket, r. l.,
officially adopted at its meeting on July
IL. This slogan was framed by Frank
o. Draper, the superintendent of schools
The committee on school property ap-
proved of the recommendation and the
architect who is preparing plans for a
new school building was instructed to
incorporate in his drawings an open. air
room even before the full board had
taken final action on the proposal. Paw
tucket opened its first fresh air school in
May and is therefore quite a recent ad.
dition to the ranks of the cities that can
boast of this new feature of an up. to-date
school system. But this 5ustling city in
northern Rhode Island has taken a most
advanced if not as unique position in
deciding to make special provision in
every school for children with predis-
position to tuberculosis.
Pawtucket also illustrates how quickly
public sentiment can be created in favor
of providing fresh air for children in the
schools. Two years ago an effort was
made to convert small school house in
to an open-air school. Surrounding
property owners who didn't care to
have a lot of sick children in their back
yards" killed the plan temporarily. A
year ago a tuberculosis exhibit was held
in the city and as an indirect result Paw
tucket now has one of the best open air
schools in this country The Survey.

A TOUCH OF AUTUMN.

A yellow veil is floating DER the Valleys,
And smoky in the sunlight lie the Hills,
The soft winds coax the leaves from of the
branches
And strew them on the bosom Of the rills
The sun looks down in calmer, milder fashion,
We dread no more the fervor Of his gaze,
And when the purple Even drops her mantle
The big stars twinkle through dewy haze.
Across the stretch of fertile field and
meadows
Where whitened sheaves seem fiecks Of
ocean foam,
Come sounds Of busy wheels and Ginning
voices
To swell the chorus Of the harvest home.
The fisher lad escapes the net of labor
And casts his fly upon the dimphng pool,
To tempt the trout that leaps into the sunlight
And drops again beneath the waters cool
This is the time Of Natures relaxation,
The time that soothe's the weary hearts ol
men,
When. mother-llke, she puts her arms about
And leads us through each dreamy glade
and glen,
When, hand in hand, we walk with her ant
listen
To that sweet song she sings to those whc
hear,
When yellow D,ists are floating over valleys,
The calm, sweet Sabbath Of the passini
year.
