Until Belfast came under its present
control the city reports, including the
report of the treasurer, were made pub
lie before the annual election, and citi
zens We're informed as to the financial
condition of the city. Of late this in
formation has been withheld, and not
since the report of Street Commissioner
u F. Wilson has any detailed report
been given of the work done on the
streets. Large sums have been expend-
ed, aside from the sections of State road
built, the last one largely for the better
3nent Of property in which the mayor is
interested. The public have no means
of determining where the money has
gone.
The summary of opinion at home and
abroad on Canadian reciprocity in the
March number OF Current Literature
while interesting is somewhat bewilder-
ing, so diverse and antagonistic are the
views expressed. In Canada and Great
Britain the matter is regarded from
political standpoint rather than as bust
ness proposition. One argues that Can
ada has much the best of the bargain,
while another holds the opposite view.
In the mother country the spectre of an
nexation is conjured up by some, while
Others fear loss of British trade with
Canada. In this country the opposition
comes almost wholly from the agricul-
tural interests, though some manufac-
turers oppose and some agriculturists
favor reciprocity.

Two primary elections were held in
Florida for the choice Of United States
Senator, and each primary cost the con-
testants, Senator Taliaferro and Gov.
Broward, from S10, 200 to $4,000 each.
What chance has poor man to be
elected Senator from Florida under this
system? In a primary held in Chicago,
February 2sth, 1896, 500 was spent by the
organizations of the various candidates
for Office to get out and care for the
vote. This was approximately Sc for
every vote cast at the primary. The
total spent by the city for rent of poll
5ng places, pay of judges, clerks and
special officers. reached 1852, 500. State
ments by candidates for the various Of
fees show that approximately 1854, 900
was expended, making a grand total of
1886, 500 as the cost of the primary. Now
as to the initiative and referendum in
Oregon. President Frederick V. Holman
OF the Oregon Bar Association says:
The Legislature, under the present sys-
TEN, is likely to become as useless as the
vermiform appendix, and as much Of a
menace. Not only the legislature but
the Supreme Court of Oregon itself is
NOW at the mercy of the initiative. A
petition with nine thousand signatures
would require that an amendment to the
Constitution be submitted to popular
vote providing for referendum votes on
Supreme Court decisions. Even the
criminal law is being sadly muddled by
carelessly constructed amendments care
fessly adopted" The initiative, espe-
cially, Mr.. Holman holds to be failure
and at.the same time menace to the
stability of government. This seems to
be an era Of fool legislation, leading nc
one knows where.

after taking the baths there and en-
deavorTng to recuperate," said T. H.
Hillary, district manager OF the North
western Telephone Co. this morning
to Forum representative.
While / went out there to rest,
had very pleasant time, particularly
after Burnie Maurek OF Moorhead and
| William Ball Of Fargo arrived, which
was about a week later than my ar
rival. 1t was little lonesome there
at first as all the patients were strang-
ers from all parts Of the country, with
the exception of Mr.. Burton OF Bis
! marck. with whom / was only slightly
acquainted before / went
! But Mr.. Maurek and Mr.. Ball liv-
ened things so that the rest OF my stay
was made exceedingly pleasant. Too
much cannot be said in the way of
praise for the management OF the
springs and they certainly accorded us
excellent treatment while we were
their guests. left Mr.. Maurek much
improved in health, and / expect when
he returns he will be in such good
spirits that his friends here will have
to put ball and chain on his foot to
hold him down.
'"The three Of us enjoyed ourselves
immensely and feel much better in
health and in spirits for the trip. Mr..
Balls health has greatly improved un-
der the excellent care he has had there.
The weather conditions out there are
perfect and we took long walks every
day that kept US out in the fresh air.
The Boulder mountains are just to
south Of the springs and the Crazy
mountains to the west, so that the
vista was ideal.
There were a great many patients
there. including a large number Of
eastern people, which tended to make
it more than pleasant during the time
we had nothing particularly to do and
We formed delightful acquaintances.
But am glad to get back to my work
again and feel I can dig in pretty hard
after such a good rest"

pointed to place the matter before three

Consequently 1t was impossible for
the commissioners to do anything, de-

APPLE GROWING ANDSPRAyING
Will BE TAUGHT HERE

What can add more to the social
side Of our rural home than to enjoy
with our friends and neighbors, on a
winter evening around a warm fire, a
large basket Of fine luscious apples
and pitcher of well-preseryed sweet
cider. Why is not every home provid-
ed with these? On every farm and ev-
cry city lot in this section of the state
could be grown many barrels of fruit,
and perfect fruit too, provided we
more fully knew how to plant, prune,
and spray the trees. There is not on
ly sentimental side to growing of
more and better fruit, but there is a
financial side, which would add thous-
ands of dollars to the pocket-books of
this country II we but made use of the
opportunity.
One of the professors from the Agri-
cultural College who is to lecture at
the Agricultural Extension School to
be held at Mt. Vernon, Nov 27 to Dec.
1, 1911, says:
1T is estimated that there are
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1911-11-21

enough idle orchards in Ohio to in
crease the yield by one million bushels
annually, IL properly cared for"
"An old apple orchard often gains
net profit of $500 or $400 per acre the
first season If 1t is properly cared for
Spraying is absolutely essential for
the perfect fruit Spraying is neglect
ed more or understood less than any
other factor in fruit growing"
Fruit trees need feeding as much as
field crops, probably more in many in
stances, because longer neglected"
Pruning is not contrary to Ma
ture's Law but necessary for high col
or and size of fruit"
"Ohio offers as bright an outlook for
the prospective fruit-grower as the
northwestern states"
One man in Ohio claims that he
made $700 from having heard one Of
the lectures given by this instructor.
Certainly there is not farmer in
this section Of Ohio that can afford to
miss the ten lectures given by this
man at the Extension School
