No Hardship Imposed.
Joseph Strasburger, president Of the

proposition is the best measure evel
put before the citizens of the District

not be granted by the railway COM

transfers would not work a hardship
upon the companies and pointed out
the case of the Florida avenue branch
Of the Capital Traction Company as ar
example of the inability Of the com

HUTTIG WINS GOOD GAME.
Defeat Camp No. l in the Best Game of Seas
 on on Home Grounds.

On last Saturday afternoon fair sized crowd witnessed the best game of base ball played on the local diamond this year, when the home team defeated Camp No. by a score of 5 to 2.
 Although the grounds were not in the best condition on account of rain, few errors were made, and there were three double plays pulled off, one of which was un- called for but resulted from think ing there were two outs when there was only one.
 Our boys will cross bats Friday and Saturday of this week with the Hillsboro team which, we under stand, is composed of number of the players from Camp No. l, so good games can be expected on those dates.

How to Utilize the Surplus fruit on the Farm

Recently l received letter from a woman farmer in this state This woman, judging from her let ter, is studying farming and en- deavorng to find solutions for the great problems which confront our farmers.
 She has been trying to get away from all-cotton farming. Hence she produces variety of farm pro- ducts, but she has been unable to dispose of some of these products at a profit She says that often the freight and commission eat up what little profit there might be. At other times the market is glutted She contends that her neighber who is an all-cotton farm CT, is realizing greater profits from his system of farming than she is able to realize from her system. of farming. Yet. she feels that hes system should return the greater per cent of profit and she is right.
 All cotton farming, the one crop system, means a constantly de- ereasing per cent of profit each year. While the farmer who has several crops upon which he may depend and who has in addition, few hogs and other live stock, may, with proper management. expect his per cent of profit to increase year by year, while the fertility of his soil will, at the same time. be increased. Diversified farming and not the one crop system here tofore practiced, is the solution of the financial problems of our farm CTS.
 In order 10 utilize to the best ad- vantage our surplus fruit and veg etables, a home-canner is necessa- ry. The home-canner costs from five to twenty dollars. Plenty of fruit and vegetables, which would otherwise go to waste, may be canned at odd times and put away for home use in the winter. The surplus will command a ready market at a good price. In fact, there is greater demand for home canned products thah there is for factory canned products Those who operate home eanners. put quality first and quantity last. They are more careful to use only well selected, well ripened fruit and vegetables. The same atten- tion is not possible in the large factories. One lady writes that, the neighbors and grocerymen pronounced them superior and took all 1 had When the market is glutted with sweet potatoes, toma- toes or any other fruit or vegetable in their seanon, try canning your surplus supply. They can then be disposed of at a handsome profit during the winter months. One of the greatest recommendations that caDfbe made of a home-can- ner, is that it enables our farmers to have, at little expense, a variety of vegetables and fruits throughout the winter months. Try this plan of utilizing the surplus fruit and vegetables on your farm.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

Hinh Winds and skvscraners.

Speaking Of the effect of high winds
upon the skyseraperS. the superintend-
ent Of buildings in New York city said:
Observation has been made ou sew
eral tall buildings from time TO time
as to the effect of wind. We find there
is a slight movement to almost every
building. In the case Of some Of the
tallest this movement frequently
amounts to as much as eight or ten
inches horizontally, as shown by the
plumb lines However. there is no
noticeable vibration, and whatever
movement there is is gradual and can.
not be felt. This does not affect IN
any way the safety of the structure
as these buildings are designed to
withstand the necessary effects Of the
wind as well as to support the weight
of the building Itself and It's contents. ;"

AN HOUR OF THRILLS.
Shooting the Rapids Of the Hodzu
River, In Japan

Shooting the Rapids Of the Hodzu
River, In Japan.
The rapids on the Hodzu river near
Kyoto must Gil even the most base of
tourists with excitement. A train from
Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully up
ward until finally 1t deposits Its pas
sengers at quaint little siding.
From here. says the Wide World
Magazine. one goes to the river bank
and embarks in a rude. fiat bottomed
boat, which is pushed out by four men
into the middle Of broad river, reed
edged and sleepy.
For few minutes one glides dream
lily along; then, rounding curve, one
suddenly hears the roar Of water, and
the boat tears down a rapid. just miss
ing the rocks on each side. The high
banks race past. death appears immi-
nent, and then. with one mad swirl. it
is all over and the boat is on the quiet.
unrutiled stream once more.
This happens again and again for
about an hour. At first ones whole
mind is filed with the conviction that
an accident must happen. but gradu-
ally comes delicious feeling Of safety
as one notes the marvellous skill these
men show In plotting the boat through
the seething rapids and one Is able to
appreciate the beauty Of the scene.

Australia once had great public
Joke, which was played openly In the
New South Wales state parliament by
member who afterward became at.
torney general.
A bill had been introduced to pro-
tect native flowers from ruthless de-
struction. The honorable member up
rose and sympathized He informed
the introducer Of the bill--a somewhat
pompous gentleman-that he heartily
approved. But why these invidious
distinctions? The bill protected-and
he quoted all the botanical names in
the bill.
But why were other flowers equally
deserving neglected. Why were-and
here he reeled of long list OF the
Latin names for cookies. mussels. oys-
tiers, etc.-why were these sweet flow
ers to be bllghted In their bloom by
being plucked by any prowling excur.
sionist who wanted something in his
buttonhole?
The introducer OF the bill promptly
offered to extend the list to include
these SO half the shellfish on the
coast. including the periwinkle, were
added to the flowers worthy Of protec-
ton.
The officials of the house discovered
the hoax next day and set 1t right,
But the joke was too good to be kept
quiet, and all Australia chuckled at
the expense of the pompous legislator.
