year or more in Washington, d {,
arrived home Friday evening and will
remain here indefinitely.
Mr. and Mrs C E Parish are spending
a few weeks at Stoughton, once their
home, where they have not lived, how
ever, since Mr. Parish was elected clerk
of the Dane county circuit court. They
arrived some weeks ago from Los An
geles, Cal.
The city of Edgerton disapproved the
third lumber yard project and promptly
put the property, where it was to be
located, within the fire limits, thus
compelling the erection of brick build
ingS, John Evans, manager OF the
Stoughton Lumber association, owned
the site and was arranging to start a
third yard at Edgerton, when a meet
ing of the common council was called
and a resolution adopted as stated. Mr.
Evans has had an offer for the land and
and probably will sell it, and may locate
a yard outside of the city at some point
beyond its important sections. Posi-
bly, he will let the enterprise drop en-
tirely.
Much has been printed in the papers
and magazines about ditch digging with
dynamite, and the work is being dem
onstrated in the marshes throughout
the country by men employed for that
purpose, and an exhibition will be CIV
en- on Thursday on the John Erickson
marsh in Dunkirk, known as the old
Pearson farm. One, Mr. Weeks, will
arrive in the morning and go with Her
man Legried to the place. Mr. Legried
has been running lines and planning
ditch building for a number of years
and is greatly interested in the new
method, which is said to be much
cheaper and more rapid than the old
way.

marsh looks as vigorous and fresh as if
the best of weather existed.
Osmond Quale died at his home two

Labrador's Short Summer.

How brief is the summer on the
highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh
Prichard in the Wide World. Snow
does not melt till July, then with a
rush midsummer comes. Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the wild
cotton soon filings out it's little white
pennons. millions Of berries ripen on
the ground. the loon cries, the ptarmi-
gan calls, and you may even see a
butterfly balancing in the warm wind.
But then also wakens the countless
army Of hunchbacks, lean and gray
mosquitoes. piping blithely for blood
So summer reigns. Then suddenly

sun has sunk behind the barren crags

other season already falling.

The Motto on the Clock.

The old Temple clock in London
bears a curious inscription, the origin
of which is ascribed to a chance re-
mark
Some 200 years or SO ago master
workman was employed to repair and
put in a new face upon the clock
When his work was nearly done he
asked the benchers for an appropriate
motto to carve upon the base. They
promised to think Of one. Week after
week he came for their decision, but
was put off One day he found them
at dinner in commons.
"What motto shall put on the clock.
your lordship?" he asked Of a learned
judge
"Oh. go about your BUSINESS his
honor cried angrily.
"And very suitable for a lazy. daw-
ding gangr' the clockmaker is said
to have muttered as he retreated It
is certain that he carved go about
your business" on the base.

The Exceptional Younq Man.

The exceptional young man. says
Orison SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine, is the one who looks upon his
employers interests as he would his
own. who regards his vocation as an
opportunity to make a man of himself
an opportunity to show his employer
the stuff he is made of. and who is al
ways preparing himself to fill the posi-
ton above him.
The exceptional young man is the one
who never says, II was not paid to do
that" II don't get salary enough to
work after hours or to take so much
pains" He never leaves things half
done. but does everything to finish.
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness. who reads it's literature, who is
on the watch for every improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who is always improving himself
during his spare time for larger things.

Evansville

Ray Gilman has recently been ap-
pointed by the state fire marshal as
deputy fire marshal.
Contractor Nelson is making rapid
progress in sewer laying, and the en-
tire work will be done almost before
one realizes what the difficulties have
been.
One of the simplest, and in many re-
spects the most sensibly planned we'd
dings, occurred at the home of Mr. John
Devereux when he was united in mar
riage with Mrs Hattie c Owen, Thurs
day, July 20, 1911, at s o'clock in the
evening. The service was performed
by Rev ] L Tabor of the First Baptist
church, before very small company
of guests, consisting of members of
the groom's Immediately family.
The Evansville Canning Co has just
shipped three car loads of canned peas
to eastern buyers. Each car contained
1000 cases. Some 5000 more cases
await shipment. The company has had
a successful season under the careful
management of Supt Adams, and the
farmers who have grown crops for the
factory seem we'll satisfied. Corn can
ming will begin about the goth of Aug
ust. This is one of Evansville's new
and prosperous industries.

The First Money.

Money is mentioned as a medium OF
exchange in Genesis. chapter %. and
is supposed to refer to time as far
back as 1900 B. c.. The coinage of
money is ascribed to the Lydians, a
people of Asia Minor 1t is. of course.
quite impossible to fix any definite date
for the first coinage. Long before any
one thought to coin money it was made
out of any durable substance that came
to hand. such as leather, iron. tin,
bronze and even the hard bark of the
trees and stones of the fields. The
Hollander. so late as the middle of the
sixteenth century, made money of
pasteboard. In fact, pretty nearly ev-
erything in the shade of lasting mate
rial has at one time or another been
used rs the medium of trade known as
money.

MAHWAH HAS MANY CHARMS
In Mountainous Section, Conven
ient for tho Gon,,,utor

Mahwah is one Of the fast growing towns
on the main line Of the Erie Railroad. II
is on high rolling land from 400 to 700 feet
elevation
short time ago Clarence l. Smith sold
to George NJ. Dunlap the Colonel Ezra Mil
Ter estate Of about two hundred acres.
which has since been made into a beauti-
full residential park. which is known as
Cragmere. In this park alone forty houses
have been built within year, costing from
81, 600 10 $1,000 each
Mahwah has many OF the advantages OF
a large city. There are five fine schools.
churches Of various denominations and So
cial clubs Nowhere within the committing
zone from New York is there a finer coun-
try TO be found. The hills are covered
with orchards bearing apples and peaches,
and brooks and streams run through the
valleys. II is a section free from mos
qultoes. where one may enjoy outdoor life
to tho fullest extent The beautiful little
Mahwah Lake and the Ramapo Noun
talns in the near distance add 10 the de-
lghtful scenery
Many commuters make their home in
Mahwah. IT is within easy reach of New
York and can be reached all hours.

RIDGEWOOD'S ATTRACTIONS
Public Water Supply Derived
from Five Artesian Wells.

Ridgewood is situated in Northern New
Jersey, on the main line OF the Erie RAN
road, six miles beyond Paterson, twenty
two miles from New York. II is also the
western terminus Of the Bergen County
Railroad acquired by the Erie in 1881, and
which. leaving the main line at Ruther-
ford. avoids the Passaic River and shortens
the distance slightly.
Its chief advantage TO Ridgewood is that
it gives four tracks to the city and betters
the train service materially. there being
thirty trains a day each way, one making
the time in the morning TO Jersey City IN
Il minutes. and one in the afternoon from
Jersey City TO Ridgewood in 80 minutes.
The public water supply is derived from
FIVE artesian wells. sunk 2lO feet below the
level Of the valley. at a point north OF
Harrison avenue, and from there pumped
direct 10 consumers, the surplus going to
half million gallon reservoir situated on
high land west OF the railroad, thereby
giving sufficient pressure to force a stream
over any building on the main street.
The streets are macadamized. the side
walks are tagged and lighted at night by
both electricity and gas. The town has
good fire and police departments, free mail
delivery and local newspapers. The COM
pletion and occupation of four first class
grammar school buildings at cost OF
$4,000, in addition 10 the high school erect
ed a few years since at a cost Of nearly
$4,000 places the village in the first rank
as far as educational accommodations are
concerned. Ridgewood is well supplied
with churches. all the leading denomna-
lions being represented
Ridgewood's Board Of Trade has for its
objects the promotion of trade. the en-
couragement of intercourse between bust
ness men, the improvement Of facilities for
freight and passenger transportation, the
correction OF abuses. the diffusion of in
formation relating 10 Ridgewood and the
promotion and development OF the COM
mercial. industrial and material interests OF
the village.

BIG GROWTH OF PASSAIC
Vast Increase in Population Ii
Last Forty Years.

Passaic. n. j., has in a period OF forty
years grown from little village or S'"'
inhabitants to IS, 600. and the United states
census reports show that al each census
taken the city had doubled the population
figures of the previous census. The reason
for this growth Is due partly TO the fact
that Passac, through It's natural loca-
ton. has attracted a number OF large
manufactures, most Of which have a large
amount OF European capital behind them.
In addition to this, Passaic is beautifully
situated on a ridge from which good
view of New York can be had. eleven
miles away.
The transportation accommodations arc
extremely good. and with the new Hudson
tunnels the time from Passaic to Cortlandt
street, New York. is only about thirty
minutes. whereas the time from Passaic
to 33d street is only about forty-fve min
utes.
The city itself has wide. we'll graded
streets, thoroughly improved, lined on
either side with shade trees; its water is
pure and plentiful. passing through a large
filtration plant before it goes into the
pipes OF the city. The Lighting rates for
both gas and electricity are reasonable.
Trolleys run through the city connecting
II with Newark, Paterson. Hoboken. Hack
ensack and other points. Its schools are
considered the best In the state. and a
new high school. at a cost Of 100000, has
just been erected. Passaic has numerous
churches. social organizations and an ex-
tremely active Board Of Trade. Its Police
Department is competent and big enough
to thoroughly supervise the entire city. Its
Fire Department. equipped with automo-
bile apparatus throughout. is probably the
most efficient in any city of its size in the
entire country. 1t has the Warlng double
sanitary system Of sewers, and is one Of
jerseys heathiest cities.
The Delaware. Lackawwan & Western
Railroad passes through the western sec
ton of the city where most Of the finer
homes are, and on the other side Of the
Lackawanna station Is large tract of
land recently purchased by the city for
the establishment of large public park.
Just beyond the proposed park are sew
| eral large developments, on which the
work Of grading and Identification is now
going on under the supervision OF Rowland.
Shafto & Johnson. Inc. who control this
entire section which has recently been
! added To Passaic through an annexation
bill. These developments are known as
the Overlook Park, Rosemawr Atwood

Company. and COMPRISE almost the entire
section Of some three hundred acres on
the beautiful western slope, overlooking
