the Monogram J. W.
The mystic emblem or device Of a
sort Of Whistlerized butterfly was
adopted in the sixties by the eccentric
genius James Abbott Whistler. who
changed his name later to James Nc
Neili Whistler.
Close study will reveal that this De-
culiar scroll is really monogram of

bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf

ings after that date are signed Wits

Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures in some distinct form instead
Of their names, 1t generally was done
when the name might suggest some
emblem or symbol.

DUTY OF TEACHER AND PARENT

From the Lawrence tMassD Sun.
Teachers have too limited know
ledge OF the home life of the child;
parents, too limited knowledge of the
school life. Many parents feel that
they are doing their whole duty toward
their children and the school by oc-
casionaily visiting the school in which
their child is a pupil. This is well,
but it fails to accomplish the desired
end, that of placing the teacher, the
pupil and the parent in harmonious
relationship. 1t is much better for
the parents to call upon the teacher
for the express purpose Of getting ac-
quainted with her and to help the
teacher to get acquainted with her
child.

KEEPING TAP ON THE CROPS
The Way the Agricultural Department
Gets Its Information

The details of the comprehensive sys-
tenn employed by the department of
agriculture in gathering the crop in
formation from all over the country
are interesting. There are 10000
township correspondents scattered all
over the Union. whose duty it is to go
carefully over the territory and submit
each month concrete information as to
the condition Of all kinds of crops. In
addition to this branch. 5000 county
correspondents" send in separate re-
ports from those of the township men.
A state agent makes a further report
direct from his agents. and an organ
ization in direct communication with
the department. comprising seventeen
travelling field agents" go about the
country and make separate reports for
groups Of states. Special cotton cor
respondents are also employed to fur
nish accurate information concerning
the cotton yield. Five different reports
are sent to Washington each month
by five different sets of correspondents.
This safeguards the government crop
reports for accuracy in local crop re-
ports and keeps the great crop account
and cost estimates for the millions OF
American farmers. These records are
sent to the agricultural department. OF
ficials of the bureau of statistics and a
board go over all the five reports from
five distinct groups of correspondents.
and from all the figures a crop report
estimate is distributed to 10000 post
offices throughout the country every
month.-National Magazine.

Two friends met one day after a

carmine. The other looked into his
face and said:
"Ah. John. l doot"-
But John said he was not to judge
by appearances. as he only drank one
glass of beer in Il day.
"Oh. weel." said the other yer face,

SumerS cooperation
Reitiq & johnson Made Sug-
geStiOnS TO Better tae Service
The general public is no more In
terested in good ice delivery serv-
ice than are the ice dealers who
are responsible for the work. This
is especially true in town where
one company makes all the deliver
les, for the attitude Of the public
toward the one company is more
critical than il there were competi.
ton. However,. experience has
shown that under one management
the delivery service has on the
whole been more dependable and
satisfactory. For the wagon routes
are shorter, the time Of delivery
more uniform, and the risk Of miss
ing customers less than where
three or four sets Of wagons are
serving scattered consumers over
longer routes.
The one weakness Of the present
ice delivery system is the selling Of
ice for cash by the wagon men. It
is this fact Of handling a certain
amount Of money each day, that Of
fers a constant temptation to the
drivers. We have frequently seen
young men who had always been
honest and trustworthy become dis
honest and demoralized by this
temptation, and that Of accepting
free drinks from saloons, which al
ways expected favors in return.
The price Of cash ice was made
fifty cents per hundred last year, in
order to do away with the cash bus
mess. Eut there are still a few
families who have preferred to pay
cash at the higher rate, possibly on
the theory that they got better
weight or better service. We do not
believe, however, that they get suf-
ficient advantage, if they get any,
to offset the increased price paid, to
say nothing Of the annoyanees Of
making change. not having change.
disputes about temporary charges
in such cases, etc, to which the
cash customer is subjected.
Thus it is, that while the cash
customer reaps no advantage from
that plan. the cash he pays becomes
an element Of Generalization in the
ice trade generally. For the pcs
session Of the cash sometimes
tempts the wagon man to either
give somebody short weight. or to
take out extra unearned coupons,
SO he may absorb part Of the cash
and still be able to "check up for
his days work.
For the accommodation Of small
consumers or those who prefer to
pay oftener we have prepared
small coupon books-3co pounds at
$3.50. and 500 pounds at $500 which
can be bought at our office, 10 S.
9Th ST., or will be delivered by our
collector to any part Of the city on
notice. The prices for ice for the
coming season are the same as in
the past. For family trade, to
those taking 100 pounds or more
at each delivery, IS cents per hun
dred: to those taking less than that
amount at any delivery, 40 cents
per hundred. The prices to other
classes Of consumers range from is
cents to 80 cents per hundred, de-
pending on the kind and quantity
Of ice used.
What we particularly urge, in the
best interest Of all concerned, is
that all our consumers cooperate
with US by using the coupon books
the coming season, and giving this
plan a fair trial. We believe it will
result in the most satisfactory serv-
ice that this city has ever had.
