LIGHTING THE PANAMA CANAL

Surveys and clearing the land of obstructing trees and foliage are almost com plrted and the construction of range light towers is under way.

The range lights are omitted in Culcbra cut, where their use is hardly practicable, and on four of the shorter tangcntS on the remainder of the ca nal The project includes a light and fog signal on the west brcakwatcr in Limon bay. a light on the east break water. should it be built, and gas and nun bUoys lighting and marking the channel to the Mount Hope drydock.

BOY BURGLARS ARE
 CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Night Watchman Harry Gaskin Got a Bad Boy Last Night and One
 The Night Before.

Night Watchman Harry Gaskin a little after o'clock this morning, ar rested Henry Miller a 15-year old boy. ir the act of burgldrizing the \ E C shoe store on Adams street opposite the Valley bank. He is now in the county jail. Incidentally GaSkin the night before picked up boy named Hoffman who had committed several thcftS among them the burglariZinE of the offices of Galpin X Hart on Christmas day, and clearing up the mystery of that bold daylight robbery.
 About o'clock this morning while GaSkin was making his usual rounds he found a glass broken in the rear door of the A E C store. He called officer Troutman to assist him and going to the front door he opened it and searched the place, finding the boy cIouching in a corner near the rear from the cash drawer, was the only plunder found on the boys person.
 Miller is a bad boy who is believed tO ba now out On probation through the clemency of Judge Kent of the Jul venilc court. after he had been brought back from Fl Centro by Deputy Sher- if Woolf, and found guilty of stealing a bicycle. It is altogether likely that he will have to go to Benson for which place he already had a fine start
 The Hoffman boy was arrested while laying his plans to rob the Owl drug store. Gaskin overheard him arranging with another boy to divide the swag in the case of his successful venture. if the other lad would watch the place from the out side and give him warning if neces- sarY. Gaskin took him into custody before the job was carried out
 It was then discovered that he had IL was found that he had been given shelter at the Y. NJ. C.

WHEAT CROP OF FRANCE.

An official inquiry as to the ap- proXimatc yield of the wheat crop ol France in 1911 is reported by the secretary of agriculture to indicate an increase over the harvest of 1910. In the latter year 16.19S.604 acres of land were under wheat cultivation. yielding 257.670,6?3 bushels of that grain. In spite of slight decrease t553.51i acres) in the area sown to wheat in 1911, the crop is estimated at 314.119,3i0 bushels. These figures show a marked gain in the average yield per acre. which was 1j.9 bush els in 1910 and 20.0S bushels in 1911.
 The total amount available for con- sumption during 1912. including the amount on hand July 31, 1911, is cs- timatcd at i,6S2.1S7 metric tons me- tric ton equals 220i.6 pounds). This quantity is about equal to the aver age annual consumption in France and t0 this must be added the ordi- nary imports from Algeria. Tunis and several other countries. It would seem from these figures that the supply will be equal to all normal demands.-COnsuar Report.

WANT CHILD LABOR DAY.

The National Child Labor Com mittee at its annual meeting just held in New York city issued d call to the churches of America inviting them to observe Sunday, January 2Sth. or Saturday. January 27th, 1912 as Child Labor Day The committee report shows that during the year just closed better child labor laws have been passed in thirty states, and that the commission on uniform laws of the American Bar association has prepared and sent out to the public a model child labor law to be used as d standard of uniformity in all states.
 These notable gains in the develop ment of child labor reform in Amer ica indicate the widespread public interest and the timelincss of such observance of the day as the com mittee invites
 Although these gratifying results have been secured. the report of the committee also calls attention to con- ditions against which every church ought to issue it's protest, especially against the abuse of young children in coal mines. glass factories. cotton mills. cigar and cigarette factories. oyster and shrimp canneries. and in the sweat shops of many large cities. Particular attention is called to the fact that although there are over thirteen thousand licensed tenement workshops in New York city alone. and that these licenses cover but fraction of the houses in which home work is actually done by children. there is at present no law to ade- quately combat this evil
 Last year the committee announced that child labor in the night mes scngcr service had been abolished in but two states. Through the con tinued activity of the committee nine other states have been added to the list this year. and the morals and health of these children thus safe guarded But in a majority of states it is still possible for young boys to be subjected to all the moral hazard involved in this service, and vigorous , measures are demanded tO correct the abuse.
 In issuing this call to, the churches. : the National Child Labor Committee makes three facts clear: !
 First. that it is not asking the churches to contribute funds tO it's work on that date. Funds are need cd, and will be gladly accepted. but the chief desire of the committee is to have the facts brought to public attention. The committee offers it. self as the agent of the churches in

THE cAREoF HARDWOOD FLOORS

If one only knows how, nothing is easier than the care of a well finished floor Water should never be used on a waXed floor. The less water used Oa any floor the better Painted, var nished and oiled floors may be cleans cd with crude petroleum. Did a wool cnclOth in the petroleum anl rub the boards with it. When the entire floor has been cleansed in this manner close the room for few hours and then cover an old floor brush with a piece O' clean wOolen cloth and rub the floor hard. This will remove any super fluOus oil and polish the floor. Occa- sionally add half a pint of paraffine oil to each quart of petroleum uSpd. This will keep the floor in fine cOndi- ton.
 It is most important that every par ticle of Superfluous oil shall be re- moved in the manner indicated, for if this is neglected many times the oil will hold the dust and you will soon have a dark. dingy floor.
 Painted. varnishej and oiled floors can be wiped with a cloth which has been wrung out of water. This will remove the dust, but will not add to the luster.
 WaXed floors should be dusted with Q soft cloth or dust mop. To remove dirt spots from such floors. wipe with q cloth which has been dampeled with turpentine. This will remove the wax, and it will then be necessary to go over the spots with a cloth slightly mOistened with waX"-COuntry Life i= America

Our State Senate has been trying

to speak seriously about the ones
who voted TO unseat Hearne; and
the News asks how far will an oath
stretch ?" We would like for the
News, while he is on the subject of
stretching oaths, to tell us about q
Senator who has taken the oath Of
Office and refuses to go in the Senate
Chamber.
Oh, yes! "the proceedings at
