Carnegie Library Proposition.

The Athenian Debating Society has
undertaken the matter of securing a
Carnegie Library for Canton, and h
question of whether or not h cltl-
zens should accept n will be voted
upon at the next city election. Ihe
debating society has ~canvassed h
matter thoroughly in their meetings
and the members are of the opinion
that it would be a great thing for
Canton.
There is a special reason why the
proposition should be accepted by our
citizens at this time, that did not eX-
list at the time that the proposition
was lost by an adverse vote when 1t
was up before. This time, Hon.
Thomas Thorson agrees to furnish
the site free of charge and in addition
to this, he has for many years had
the idea that a public gymnasium
would be a splendid thing for the
young men and women of this COM
munity. In addition to furnishing
the site for the library, he will, as
soon as possible, if the library is
erected, take it upon himself to see
that Canton also has a public gymna-
stun, located as near the library build
ing as possible. 1t does not seem pos
sible that the citizens Of Canton will
reject this offer to give them two fine
and valuable public impro vements.
There are few improvement that
could be secured for a city that would
be of more benefit to the community
than a good public library and a good
public gymnasium. In fact, they are
necessary parts of modern life. The
library proposition alone, shorn of all
other reasons, contains at least this
one: that we would have a $40, 0OO
building on a valuable site in Canton
that we have not now without cost
to the citizens. 1t must be built by
local mechanics, the money which it
costs would practically all remain in
Canton. Our dealers will make a pro-
fit upon the material, u mechanics
profit upon it's erection and it's future
cOSU OF maintenance IS SO Shdll per
capita that it is scarcely worth con-
sidering. This is only one Of its adj
vantageS, which is intact of the least
Importance, and its consideration a
lone, had ought to secure for this city
Mr.. Carnegie'S improvement: and, MIR.
Thorson's philanthropic proposition
to not only furnish the site for the
library, but also see to it that in con-
necuion with it and by reason of hav-
ing it, we will also have a modern
public gymnasium for u boys and
girls, makes the proposition seem ir-
restible. The citizens of Canton ought
to, enthusiastically and unanimosly,
for their own best interests and the
future interest, advantages and plea
sures of their children, support his
proposition. In it's efforts to secure
this improvement for Canton the
Athenian Society has the active sup
port and assistance of every organiza-
tion of learning in the city, and the
support of all educators, and when

Effect On The Land Of The
Removal of Corn Slower.

A northern Iowa correspondent
writes Wallaces' Farmer: 81 see in
your issue of March Sd an article by a
Winneshiek county, Iowa, subscriber,
in which he says: However, the
most important factor in the corn
fodder question has not yet been
mentioned, namley, the effect pro-
duced on the land This is the same
question which 1 asked some time
since, but to which / have not eel
the answer. A year ago an Indiana
farmer told me that the cutting OIL of
the corr fodder was about the hardest
thing that they could do with their
land. Your subscriber says that it is
the most Important factor. Just how
much of an effect has the removal OF
the corn stover IN the fertility of the
land?"
A ton Of corn stover Stalks with
out ears) contains sixteen pounds Of
nitrogen, two pounds of phosphorus
and seventeen pounds Of potassium.
Figuring a grain crop of fifty bushels
and a slower yield of two and one-half
tons per acre, we find that the stover
removes very nearly as much nitrogen
and considerably more potassium
from the soil than does the grain
crop. The ordinary acre yield of corn
stover contains about the same a
mount of nitrogen, half as much
phosphorus, and about four times as
much potassium as is contained In
the ordinary oat grain yield of fifty
bushels per acre, or wheat yield Of
twenty-five bushels per acre Looking
at it from the purely chemical stand.
point, we may say that the ordinary
crop Of corn stover when removed
from the land depletes the soil very
materially in the essential crop-pro-
ducing elements of fertility.
There are factors, however which
the chemist can not accurately deter
mine. Cornstalks have considerable
humus value. If they are Incorporated
with a very sandy soil or a heavy clay
they will benefit the soil texture dur
ing the process Of decay. No mar can
tell just the extent of the effect of
removing the corn stover from the
land. 1t undoubtedly depends largely
upon the character of the soil. We do
know that the continuous removal OF
the cornstalks without returning the
manure made from feeding them to
the land) will in time deplete the soil
fertility as will the removal of any
other crop, grain or hay. Many Of
our subscribers would no doubt be
glad to read Of the practical observa-
tion Of those OF readers who have
watched the effect Of the removal of
cornstalks on the fertility Of the land.

THE DAKOTA FARMER says that DR..

DAYLIGHT HOLD.UP IN CHICAGO
Lone Masked Robber Secures So, 800
from Rector's Restaurant.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Rector's Res
taurant, one of the best known of
Chicago downtown cafes, was held
up early to-day and the cashier rob-
bed of $4,000 by masked man, who
pointed two revolvers at the en-
ployees, secured the receipts of Sat-
urday night and escaped. There were
no patrons in the cafe during the
hold-up.
The robber took the time when the
cafe would have the fewest persons
present and the largest sum of money
on hand of any time during the
week, and for this reason is believed
to have been some one familiar with
the customs of the place. The cash
ier, John P Adams, who was forced
to hand over the money, believes
him to have been a former employee.
The restaurant is in the downtown
theatre district and has large pat
ronage of after-theatre diners.
The robbery took place soon after
9 O'Clock, when the cashier and head
waiter were in the main dining
room. A we'll dressed man inquired
for man whom he said was form
er employee. Before cashier Adams
could answer, the robber drew TWO
.revolvers and ordered both to hold
up their hands. He then ordered
Adams to give him the money from
the cash drawer.
After handing the robber several
packages of bills, Adams said that
was all he had, but was forced to
open the safe and take out other
money. The robber then backed out
of the place, still keeping both men
coverd with the revolvers. Over ST.
900 in currency in drawer in the
cashiers desk was overlooked. A
scrub woman who entered the main
room and saw the pistols tainted.

SNAKES SELL PER FOOT.
New Jersey Man Does Unique Busi'
ness in Reptiles.


In Jerseys business world Free
holder George Y. Bozarth holds a
unique position, that of dealer in
snakes. Mr.. Bozarth lives in Wood
land township, Burlington county,
and is widely known because of un-
usual business which he follows and
because of his activity in politics.
Living in the heart of the pine land,
Mr.. Bozarth has been able to gather
a large number OF the reptiles, for
which he has found a ready market.
Snake King" is sobriquet that has
been given him, for all the residents
of the Pines make deals through him
for the creepers they have caught.
During 1910 he received 1908
snakes and shipped them to dealers
in Philadelphia. Of the number,
about 500 were the gaudily mottled,
but harmless, pine snake. These are
in great demand by the snake charm
ers and takers in place of the more
dangerous reptiles. Among the num-
Der also were a few king snakes and
some rattlers.
One peculiar feature of the trade
is that price is set on the snakes at
so much per foot, circumference of
the body also being taken into con-
sideration. George" said a face
tiously inclined friend here, "gets
so much a foot for those creepers,
but we have to pay so much quart
for them.''
Freeholder Bozarth owns a stretch
of pine land and has made study
of the snakes besides reaping good
margin from dealing in them. "The
snakes" he will tell you, "of which
there are more than 130 species in
America north of Mexico, get their
peculiar gliding motion by the move
ments of the large ventral scales,
which are successfully advanced, the
hinder edges of the scales resting on
the ground and forming fulcra; rest
ing on these the body is then drawn
or rapidly pushed forward. Inc
brain of serpents is small, the cere-
bellum especially. Most snakes con-
form in coloration to the nature OF
the soil or places they frequent. -
And he can talk volumes along this
line, and tell you all you want to
know about the anatomy of them al
so.-Philadelphia Record.
