The suns high and the moons high,
The bay a crescent Of blue,
The ships Of the world go by without,
But the great hl-gates stand round about.
And only the come through.
The town sleeps and the bay sleeps;
Tangled and golden brown,
The seaweed drifts dreaming sea,
Where anchored boats rock laziy,
As the waves lap, up and down.
The night comes and the wind comes;
Iandward the white crests ride
Hark to the voice in the wind that cries,
As il drifts like bird twixt the sea and the skies,
ssThere is one that will go with the tde'
The dawn's here and the days herel
The wind Gibbs out, and the sea.
The mists roll back and the hills are plain
But the great sea-gates narrow in vain,

LHeal BsYeOlt.

The high prices Of food commodi-
ties has begun to stir up something.
Recently a movement started in
Cleveland, O., which has spread in
the east, bOycotting meat. Those
participating in the movement resolve
to abstain from the use Of meat Of
any kind for period Of thirty days,
hoping by this action to force the
packers to reduce the price Of this
article Of life necessity. 1t some Of the
larger cities some Of the smaller re-
tsilers have gone out Of business as q
result of the boycott. In some Of
the communities, notably in this
state in one or two places, the farmers
have resolved to boycott any article
that is manufactured by any one who
is boycotting meat, and so the war is
getting merrily started. What the
harvest will be or when the end will
come, no one knows. The question
to be answered is, is the producer of
meat getting too high prices, or do
the packers who buy Of the producer
and sell to the retailer, and the latter,
who sells to the consumer. get too
much profit. We are inclined to
think that that is the case. Of course
if the boycott finally affects the mark.
ct very much, it is a cinch that the
producer is the man who will suffer.

and do this far cheaper than he car

Last fall the farmers of the yari-
Gus associated farmers clubs of this
section resolved that they would plaut
from two to five acres of wheat each
On their farms. Presumably they
have done this. IF they planted wheat,
then certainly they planted still more
oats, and perhaps little rye. This
will assure them an abundance of the
best horsefeed thrc ugh the summer,
an abundance of eggs from early
spring through the summer, and pler-
ty of flour for family needs. A farmer
having all this is in position to snap
his fingers at the high cost of living
But having this he can easily go
further. He can have a garden to
supply an abundance of vegetables
throughout the entire year. He can
killing time will supply his family with
meat fcr a year And he can easily
raise a few calves and by this process
turn his grass into meat. Isn't such

Still more, the farmer can just an

cows to SELL The atatto:r in Angus

EDIsoN's STORAGE BATTERY.

The experiment of a street railway
car propelled by power from a stor-
age battery in Orange, N. j., on last
Thursday, gives room for belief that
Edison has finally accomplished the
task he set before himself several
years ago He announced once be-
fore that his storage battery was feas-
ible, but it has never been proved
that he had a workable one-one that
could be run at a cost that was not
prohibitive At Orange Q car seating
half as many persons as the ordinary
street car and equipped with stor-
age battery developed a speed of
twenty miles an hour. Mr. Edison saws
that the car can lie run at cost of Il
cent a mile. If he has invented a
storage battery which can be run thus
economically, the "Wizard" will have
added another to the long list of OBJ
legations under which he has placed
the people of the world
Electricity is an ideal power for use
to propel street cars and for automo-
biles; but in the case of the street
car no way has yet been found to
make the car independent of CEN
trail power station and to run as a
unit. while electricity for an automo-
bile has Eeen found expensive and in
convenient on account of the weight
of the storage battery. Edison claims
to have solved all the difficulties in
TIE way of the use of electricity in
both cases, and, of course. his promise
viii not be lightly dismissed.
