A Beautiful World.

"A DedutlAul WOIlu
Here's song of praise for beauti-
full world,
For the banner of blue that's above
it unfurled,
For the streams that sparkle and
sing to the sea,
For the bloom in the glade and the
leaf on the tree;
Here's a song of praise for a beauti-
full world
Here's a song of praise for the
mountain peak,
Where the wind and the lightning
meet and speak,
For the golden star on the soft
nights breast,
And the silvery mOonlight's path
to rest;
Here's song of praise for beauti-
full world.
Here's song of praise for the rip
pling notes
That come from a thousand sweet
bird threats,
For the ocean wave and the sunset
glow.
And the waving fields where the
reapers 90;
Here's song of praise for beauti-
full world.
Here's song of praise for the ones
so true,
And the kindly deeds they have
done for you,
For the great earth's heart, when
it's understood,
Is struggling still toward the pure
and good;
Here's song Of praise for a beauti-
full world.
Here's a song of praise for the One
who guides,
For He holds the ships and He holds
the tides,
And underneath and around and
above,
The world is Tapped in the light of
His love;
Here's song of praise for a beauti-
| full world. WI. Childress.

In America we would probably speak
of Edinburgh and Leith as twin cities.
Their corporate boundaries join and a
stranger cannot tell where one begins
and the other enda. Thus they are
practically one city. with a combined
population of 100000 of which $50 900
is ascribed to Edinburgh and $4,000 to
Leith.

river, half a mile wide, suddenly

Niagara Falls was discovered by

canoe from Montreal to the Gulf of
Mexico. He remained several
months in the vicinity and came
away without buying a single piCt-

At this time Niagara was in a very
wild and uncivilized state. Short

the cataract was captured by the
hackmen and has been in the state
of captivity ever since. No cata-

The people of these Uuited States
would be glad if our Government would
get after the express companies, which
have grown fat on the high rates charged
for service, something after the fashion
the Dominion Railway Commission has
put It up to the express companies Of
Canada.
The Dominion Commission has handed
in its judgment in the case Of the ex.
press companies, and it is sweeping in its
denunciation Of them. The tariffs are
declared to be altogether too high, and
many Of the provisions attached to the
printed contracts TO be unfair to the
shippers. The companies are given three
months to revise and formulate new rates
and contracts, aud to hand The same to
the Commission for their inspection
The officials of the companies naturally
kicked but nevertheless they concluded
il was wise to accept, as it was case Of
have TO, and a lower rate of schedules is
to be compiled.

Poor Roads Expensive.


There ls food for thought in the fact
that IN the Alabama Good Roads Con-
vention a United States Senator and the
industrial agentof the Southern Railway
both delivered addresses advocating good
roads. The arguments they presented
were weighty and admirably put. The
legislator said:
'You must find profitable market for
your products The economy OF trauspor-
tation is the chief factor in profit Nine
ty-eight per cent of all the vast commerce
of this country is transported over the dirt
road first and last The cost of transpor-
tation over the average road is IS cents a
ton mile, as against TO cents ton over a
system Of improved roads, .
The railroad man told his audience that
there was time when the railroads re.
garded the motor vehicle as an enemy
competitor that entered their territory
and took business away from them.
This view has passed, or is passing, and
with it has come the knowledge that
automobiles are not antagonistic, but
helpful. to the railroads. Furthermore.

The day Of paper made from cornstalks
has come, the experiments Of the De-
partmens Of Agriculture al Washington
having proved the process can be made
commercial proposition. For some tiu;e
these experiments have been under way,
and now the Department is utilizing
some of the cornstalk paper for its CORES
pondeuce, AMI operates mill which
turns out the new paper, of high grade
by the hundred pound LOT. The experts
Of Uncle Sam say that small commercial
mill can be kept busy through the entire
year by the stalks from the corn fields
within radius Of eight to 10 miles.
The stalks are pressed until the juice. q
very rich stock food, is extracted, then
shredded and dried. In this form they
will keep sweet year, insuring steady
operation Of the paper mill. Only two
thirds of the fiber is utilized for print
paper, the remainder making sort Of
parchment. water tight for whil.. but
not absorbing the ink
Perhaps It will not be many years be-
fore the farmer will look upon bis stalks
as the most valuable part Of his corn crop.
If he can realize but half cent pound
he will get more for them than for his
corn at 60 ceuts hushel. The problem
of making cheaper paper to compete with
the wood pulp article used for printing
newspapers has not been solved yet,
though the investigators are hopeful
What this will mean can readily be
realized when it is stated that about S35,,
900, 900 worth Of raw material, wood
pulp. is used aunnally in the paper
making business in this country.

tine to the United States Senate by the
Legislature of New Jersey is victory for
popular government. MARITIME had sub

An unusually interesting program /

An unusually interesting program has
been arranged for the farmers institute
to be held iu the public hall of this town
on Wednesday next. 18th inst. Director
Hill and the local committee are sparing
no efforts to make the affair success and
as these institutes have always been pop
nlar with our progressive farmers, who
recognize In them the opportunity pre-
sented for hearing the best methods Of
agriculture discussed by men who have
attained prominence and success in their
calling through the practical application
of their ideas, it is safe to predict good
attendance will be present at each of the
sessions. which will be held in the morn
ing, afternoon and evening. The insti-
tute last year, held in this town, was one
of the most successful held in the entire
State, and our farmers, by their atten-
dance, can make this one equally so.
Not only attend the institute yourself bnt
get your neighbors to attend also.

The Court of Appeals of Annapolis has
declared the Trading Stamp law, passed
at the last session of the Maryland Legis-
lature, unconstitutional. thus upholding
the decision Of Judges Dobler, Heuisler
and Duffy, before whom the cases were
tried in the lower court.
This act was directed against the trad
ing stamp companies as well as the mer
chants issuing them and sought to place
Q fixed value of not less than one cent
upon each stamp. The unconstitution-
ality Of the act is decided primarily upon
the point that the Legislature has no
power to- enact laws interfering with
private business concerns. The opiuion
was written by Judge Pattison.

So successful has been the operation of
the new system Of postal savings banks,
that after months trial Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock declares additional ones
would be established at once Throughout
the United States if funds were available,
and he has recommended to Congress the
appropriation of 81, 900, 900 for the imme-
diate extension Of the system
This is another prediction of the big
financiers Of the country gone wrong.
They fought the establishment of postal
savings, banks, just as they have the bank
guaranty plan, asserting all sorts of dire
things would happen if the government
went into the banking business. A trial
has proven their predictions of disaster
we're founded solely of the fact that they
see in the postal savings bank plan the
passing of the control of the banking
business of the country from their hands
into that of tie Government, with its
accompanying loss of big profits to them,
which they have enjoyed all these years.

For some time the discredited Senator

timations Of great financial scheme he
had in view. It was supposed to involve
a central bank which would control all
bank issues aud be practically clearing
house for the financial operations of the
United States
1t now develops that, because OF oppo-
sition TO the central bank scheme, there
has been modification of the financial
trust. It is proposed to charter for fifty
years, under federal law, Reserve Asso-
citation of America, composed Of num-
Der Of banks with capital stock of 5000,
ooo. 900. The real control would be in
the hands of nine directors and four
government officials. The scheme is
said to have been worked ont by ].
Pierpont Morgan. who took his memo
rauda TO Washington in special car,
presenting it to Aidrich before he left.
It is an ambitious idea, being prac-
tically the establishment Of a mouetary
trusts and taking all power from the
hands of the government, lodging it in
stead in this Reserve Association OF
America.
# this schsme should be consummated
II will prove trust far more powerful

only be money trust. hnt il will practi-
cally destroy governmental power over
