An exchange says that no
newspaper which took truth for
its standard would make a pc
cuniary success. And it is said
that the compliment could be re-
turned by saying that no minis
ter who told the truth about his
congregation, alive or dead
would occupy the pulpit much
longer than the following Sun
day afterwards. The press and
the clergy go hand in hand with
the whitewaSh brush, rosy spec
tacles magnifying little virtues

natives into oblivion. The pull

will be different, as the city now
has Il good cash balance on hand
and good sources of revenue to

is afforded an excellent oppor-
tunity to do much real and per

to show it's good judgement

Many persons feel offended
because their comingS and goings
are not mentioned while those of
others are and wonder what the
matter can be-" says an eX-
change. THE explanation of the
matter is that the editor means
to be impartial, but some escape
mention. The likes and diSlikeS
of an editor have nothing to do
with it, and while it is not pre-
tended that the editor is more
than human he knows that the
success of his journal depends on
his fairness and impartiality to
all. 1t is the best way always
when notice is desired to men
ton it to the editor, or communi-
cate through the postoffice. No
one feels worse about any seem
ing neglect or partial perfor-
nance of duty than the editor
himself"

Every good citizen should try
to assist and encourage the city
officials in the discharge Of their
duty. Nothing is gained by
abuse. 1t is human nature to
appreciate and reciprocate kind

1t is cowardly to run to the
newspaper or to the pulpit every
time you think or feel that some
thing should be done, and the
editor or the preacher who
makes use of his position to

English Actors Give Signal When It's

science of writing a 'laugh'-that is.
line capable of producing a laugh from
an audience.

stage and see it ignored by"&ln audi

ber of that company. have seen the

the move of hand or of the head of
the comedian or actor who enunciated
of a line by the moving of some per-
son in the stage setting or by the NOV

reciting certain lines. absolutely elm

This is so of American audiences,
but not so of the English theater go

the witticism is finished by a nod of
the head or a certain movement of the

A WIG and a TRAGEDY.

pered by discretion Eastern antiqui-
ties may be picturesque and with all
the charm of mystery. but at the same

is a story bearing upon the point and
with its obvious moral. A young and

DISCOVER VALUE
OF CITY GARBAGE
MISSOURI WATERWAY COMMITS
SION SAYS PEOPLE OVER
LOOK ASSET.
EUROPE UTILITIES WASTE
Germany and France Look to Garbage
of Cities as Sole Source Of Fertliiz-
ing Raw MateriaIs-What Might
Be Done in This Country.

American Waste is such a COM
mon subject in these days of economy
and conservative agitation that it re-
quires a leak of more than ordinary
size to attract the attention of the
average American citizen. However,
the Missouri Waterway Commission
in the report about to be submitted
to the legislature is calling attention
to a gross waste on the part Of the
citizens Of this state-a waste OF a
resource whica is very little thought
of, and about which less is known.
Under the subject Of drainage n
water supply, the commission has in
vestigated the problem of sewage and
garbage disposal. In foreign cities
the garbage is an important munich
pal asset which is carefully watched
over by the city government, and
each year bids are received by the
city for the city's garbage and to
the highest bidder is sold the entire
right of garbage collection and dis
posal. The purchaser collects (under
bond for failure to do so thoroughly
and pays according to the amount col
lected.
The statistics gathered during the
recent five years at Berlin, Hamburg
and Bremen, and other large cities OF
Germany, show that the garbage nets
these municipalities $500 per head
for all cities of one hundred thou
sand population or Tor The amount
of garbage is greater per head for
smaller cities, but reductions plants can
not be operated at a very handsome
profit on a small scale.
In America the amount Of garbage
may be said safely to be twice as
large per capita as that of European
cities. 1t Is an old proverb that two
European families can live well or
what is wasted by one American fam
lily, hence the value of garbage II
the larger cities Of this country should
be far greater per capita than In Eu
ropean cities. The demand for fer
tilizer (Which is the chief produce
from the reduction of garbage) is moi
SO great in this country as in Europe
but the Waterway Commission has
taken this into consideration, and has
estimated that the net value of gar
bage to the cities of this state should
be no less than $3.50 per capita.
There are three cities in the state
of over one hundred thousand popula
ton and four cities over twenty thou
sand. These cities aggregate in poi
ulation nearly one million souls, AM
the commission estimates that thei
wastefulness could be turned into al
annual revenue Of approximately So
0 5000, provided the wastefulnes
were checked at the garbage stag
and not carried to a point beyon
which recovery is impossible.

HARD RAINS NOW
Loss To FARMERS
A GREAT CHANGE IN AGRlCUL'
TURAL LANDS.
Deforestation Prevents Soil From Pc,
tanning Excess Moisture-Results
in Disastrous Freshets.

in Disastrous Freshets.
In the report Of the Missouri Water
way commission, which has been sub
mitted to the state legislature, the
attention Of our solons has been
called to the great change which has
taken place in the effect of water upon
some of the agricultural lands of this
state. The time was when good
heavy soaking rains were occurrences
devoutly wished for by the farmers,
and the breadth of the agricultural
smile Increased with each additional
drop. But that time has passed-the
heavy rains now put a deep gloom
upon the face of the wise farmer, who
goes indoors and turns his back while
the havoc is being wrought, instead
of watching the pleasant pit-a-pat.
The reason for it has bene discov-
cred and a remedy advocated by the
Commission. When the hillsides and
slopes we're covered with trees and
heavy grass, the hard rains merely
soaked into the sell, being readily
retained by the sporgy duff and held
for future use. 1t percolated slowly
to the stream by seepage, kept the
stream flow steadily sustained and
maintained the high water level.
Now hillsides and slopes are
not covered with trees nor with heavy
grass. Prodigal methods OF husbandy
have denuded hills and p~rairies alike
If the protection formerly afforded
~ nature. The soft duff and rich
black earth has been turned over and
over so often through the succeeding
seasons that 1t no longer retains the
moisture. The surface soil now not
only fails to retain the moisture, but
what is more unfortunate, fails to
maintain its own position on ever the
gentlest slopes in the face Of the
heavy washing rains. The result IL
that both soil and rainfall are LOST
the rain rushes down the hill In heavy
freshets, carrying with 1t the valua'
BILE soil covering which can new BE-
sspleced.
