some years ago there was colony Of
artists painting In Maine village
some twenty miles from Prouts Neck.
All were enthusiastic admirers of
Winslow Homer, and all, having had a

Feulizing how difficult was the task,
bethought them of Homer, only twenty
miles away. How refreshing 1t would
be to have a glimpse of the mans
work In his studio! Fully aware that
1t was not his custom to admit stran-
gers. they ventured upon the pilgrim
age to that shrine. They counted on
his waving the rule where 1t con-
cerned group that conttined at least
one full hedged national academician
and several associates bf that august
body: riley aii went to SCARBOROUGH
(Prout's Neck). put up at the hotel and
sent him joint note, signing their
names and begging that he would re-
ceive them. When the messenger re-
turned they read with disthay that
Winslow Homer presented his compli-
ments and begged to be excused from
receiving art students" The joke was

The following clever way of keeping

by the farmer Of Holland: He makes
some small caps OF stout paper and
smears around the inner side Of the
mouth Of each some birdlime or other
sticky stun. In these he puts some
grains OF corn and stands them about
his fields By pressing their points into
soft earth. When the crow finds ono
Of these paper caps he thinks himself
ii great luck until he attempts to peck

which will not even allow him to see
what course to take II he dies up.
However. no succeeds in reaching

undesirable cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more

EIGHT FACTS ABOUT CAN.
MING.

/, A farm canning outfit pays.
2. 1t pays because there IS al
ways a demand for canned goods
at profitable prices.
8. 1t pays the better because
the farm-canned product is bet
ter than the factory-canned pro
duct and more in demand.
4. It pays because you can do
the work and make the extra mon
ey at a time when other farm work
is light.
5. 1t pays, anyhow, whether
you wish to sell a single can to
outsiders or not, simply in pro
viding the luxury Of variety Of
fruits and vegetables for your
own table-every day in the year.
6. It pays all the more because
meats are high and going higher,
and the liberal use of such canned
products would be at once a less
expensive and more wholesome
change from the excessive use o.
meat on Southern farms.
7. 1t pays because you need
not invest money in more eX-
pensive equipment than you need.
You can buy a Gamer anywhere
from $3.50 to $500.
s. And finally, if you are 20
get the most out of the 1911 can
ming possibilities there is no time
to lose. Order your outfit at once
and plant literally and quickly of
all crops needed for canning pur-
poses.-Progressive Farmer.

PROTECT THE TREES.

Conservation should extend
the shade trees in the towns and
cities as well as to the forest trees.
Not only is the shade tree a beau
tiful thing and pleasant to the eye,
but it is a very necessary thing in
providing shelter from the sun S
rays in the spring and summer sea-
sons. An exchange has the fol
lowing on the subject:
''In some fortunate towns well
grown trees are to be found scat
tered over their area, but many OF
the small cities, so blessed fail to
realize the value of these trees.
"The advertisers recognize
their value by mailing tin signs on
them descriptive of the virtues OF
Neverwalk Shoes and Bink's Bald
crime, and the town marshal at
times adds a notice, but as Orna-
ments to the town the trees are
lost.
"The small boys carve their
stately trunks and loose cows rub
the bark off them. Nobody
prunes them. Wagons run over
the exposed roots and the hubs
cut gashes in the trunks.
colder and better built cities
would never in the world permit
the waste of so valuable an asset.
The trees would be carefully pre-
served and carefully tended, ii nee
essary would be fenced about with
curbs to protect them from wa
gon wheels, or iron fences to save
them from reckless drivers.
"For a we'll grown tree locat-
ed in a small city is something to
be preserved and regarded with
full appreciation Of its real and
undoubted value. Alexandria

It will be interesting to learn
how the people" when they gath
err here in a few weeks regard the
backing and filling which Mr.
Parker and his associates have
been engaged in. for it would be
fair to credit the people with the
same vacillation which Mr.. Park
er and his associates have shown
On the whole there has been very
little consideration of the "pec.
pie" by either side in the game as
it has been played SO far. MIR.
Parker and his satellites, with COM
plete contempt Of the spirit IF the
primary, have already rendered
the nomination for governor to a
gentleman Of their own choosing.
On the other hand Mr.. Michel and
his friends have sought to tie I'D
the electorate without vouchsaf-
ing a single pledge as to what
would be the attitude Of their
principal on vital issues If he were
so fortunate as to be elected to the
executive chair. The campaign is
still in it's swaddling clothes and
no one at this distance from the
primary can foretell what will
eventually happen. But with po-
litical insurgency rampant
throughout the country, thrones
and Republican dictators
being driven from the seats from
the seats of the mighty, t would
be remarkable if the people Of Lou
isiana should maintain an attitude
Of complaisancy while their local

their state policies determined by

NEWSPAPER SPACE.

Every line in a newspaper cost
it's publisher something. Ii 1t is
to benefit some individual, he may
fairly expect to pay something:
You do not go into a grocery and
ask the proprietor to hand you
out ten pounds of sugar for moth
g. even though the grocer may
be a personal friend and even
though the gift might not be a
large one.
If the beneficiary Of advertis-
Jig does not pay for it, the pro-
proctor has to settle the bill.
Nevertheless many people cannot
seem to learn that a newspaper
pays it's expenses by renting space
and that it is just as much entitled
to collect rent for every day that
space is occupied as you are for
the house you rent to a tenant.
Most newspapers expect to treat
religious and philanthropic enter
prises literally, yet IN spit OF TINS
many of these enterprises expect
the newspaper to give them space
rent free, while they carry their
job printing to some other shop.
The place, for them to look for
support is the place they patron
ize.
Religious organizations, we are
sorry to say, are the worst often
ders in this line that we have to
deal with. We believe that we
are just as good Christians, and
are just as generous as the average
on the street. We there
fore cannot understand why we
are repeatedly besought to give
away our goods, by people who
would never thing of begging

BOYS.

Some people think it a mystery
that Notwithstanding good advice
boys were taught from infancy
reckless young men. If these
boys were taught from in fancy
that home was the proper place
for them after work, rather than
growing around the streets into
all kinds Of mischief. that is
bound to get them into serious
trouble sooner or later, much OF
this mystery might be explained,
and young men with better moral
character and more intelligent
minds would be the result. No
parent need expect pure morals in
a boy that growls the streets a
night, even if he does 60 to church

TEN THINGS TO DO IN TY-
PHOID FEVER.

l. In all cases Of typhoid, how
ever mild, the patient should re-
main in bed. The course Of the
disease may be greatly shortened
by keeping the patient in a prs
trate position.
2. The vessels used in the sick
room should be thoroughly scald-
ed after use.
3. All food utensils should be
washed and scalded separately be-
fore placing with dishes used by
the family.
4. Bed linens, towels. wearing
apparel, should be plunged into
boiling water or water containing
a strong solution of carbolic acid
before they are washed.
5. Chloride Of lime, which can
be bought by dozen cans, or bich-
loride of mercury, are safe dlsln-
fectants for vessels used in the
sick room.
6. The caretaker should cleanse
her hands with disinfectant
(carbolic acid, creolin. bichloride
of mercury, before taking food.
Z. Treat all excreta from
patient with disinfectant Of suffi-
cient strength that all typhoid
germs may be killed before re-
moving from the sick room.
8. Bury all excreta from ty-
phoid patient.
9. Keep all flies from the sick
room.
10. Write to your State Board
Of Health for literature upon the
care and treatment Of typhoid fev-
er.-Progressive Farmer.

THE DEMAND FOR A BETTER
PARCELS POST.

Now that the Rural Free De-
livery Service and the Postal Saw
ings Banks. the two new features
which have been added to the bus
mess of the Post Office within the
past few years, are SO successful
and convenient, it is time measures
be adopted to improve the existing
limited parcels post. This can
best be done by lowering the
rates and extending the weigh
limit, in order that they may con-
form. in some measures, to the
present worlds Postal Union
standards.
At a conference Of the Postal
Progress League in this city on
May oath last it was proposed
and recommended that the postal
rate for parcels be reduced from
sixteen cents to eight cents
pound, and that the limit of weight
n a single parcel increased
from four to eleven pounds; that
all mail matter be insured; and
that still lower rate be estab-
lished for the carriage Of parcels
on the Rural Service Routes.
These features, it was stated,
We're included in a bill known
as the Sulzer bill. introduced at
the present session Of Congress by
the Hon. William Sulzer Of New
York, which has been referred to
the House Committee on the Post
Office and Post Roads. This COM
mittee has appointed June 14th
next, at Washington, d. c., as a
day for public hearing on the
subject. Every one interested
should address a letter to the
chairman of that committee.
When it is understood that one
Of our largest express companies
is carrying parcels post packages
from Great Britain and delivering
them to any part Of the United
States at the rate Of about two
and one half cents pound, it
will be safe to assume that the
date Of eight cents pound as sug-
gested in the Sulzer bill, is a con-
sentative one.
