and then refuse TO tell their friends
about their goods through the
columns of the newspaper. we do
not understand. There is one firm
which had sign board out from
town, but we arc quite busy this
morning and can't spare the time
to run up there to get the name of
firm from this signboard.
Mckenzie has some fine mer-
chants, in many respects quite en-
terprising, but they do not realize
the value Of advertising, and feel
under no obligation to support
their town paper.
They are like the business men
ot Huntingdon. They realize the
value of a paper to a town and
community and would regret very
much for the town to be without
one, but they are not willing to
give the paper decent support.
Huntingdon merchants and bus
.inessmen are anxious to see every
enterprise for the good Of the
town, boosted by the press. They
think the paper should use its col
umns in and out of season to bring
trade here, but they are not will
ling to help pay the cost. They
believe it pays to advertise, but
they want the other fellow to do it,
and when the crowd comes they
will help reap the profits. Hunt
ingdon merchants had fine OPP
portunity to do some valuable adj
vertising this fall, but they were
too Indifferent to do it. They /
should have helped the cotton buy
ers turn business this way. The
cotton men did their part, but the
merchants refused to advertise and
undertook to get the trade without
any cost to themselves, and as a
much business that
could have been secured has gone
and is going to other places.

SO that if we should decide to sub
NIT a question of this kind to the
vote of the people, there would be
nothing to prevent us from do

ton of good roads should be agi-

the more they know of the value
of good roads to the country, the
more inclined they will be to make
an effort to have them.

Growing Tomatoes.


On rich garden soil, tomatoes are
set 4 to feet apart each way and s
inches deep. In the north, where
early frosts occur, it may be advisable
to prune off a foot or more of the
growing shoots in August to hasten
maturity Of the crop.
A light mulch of hay or straw is
often put under the plants to keep
the fruit of the ground.
Tomatoes should be trained to
stakes or frames.
When stakes are used, one stake 8
feet high Is used for each vine and
the vine pruned to one to three stems.
Many recommend pruning to a single
stem. Pruning is said to increase the
size Of the fruit and the earliness Of
the crop.

Mysterious Theft
OF a Bicycle,

few nights ago. H. A. Diekey. one of
the operators at the Maine Central sta
ton. was relieved of bicycle which he
had left beside the door leading TO the
second story of the station. The aid of
the police was invoked to secure the re-
turn of the wheel but all that could be
learned was that two men, one of them
in his shirtsleeves, had been seen by a
woman who had stopped over night at
Hotel North, to remove the bicycle from
the doorway
The missing wheel was found, Sunday
morning, with the pump, bell and toe
clips removed from 1t but tied onto the
seat with a string. 1t was hidden under
meath the steps leading from Whites
coal office to Commercial street and the
pedometer indicated that the wheel had
been ridden two miles. The spot where
it was found had been searched several
times previously in hunting for the miss
ing wheel, so that it must have been
brought there sometime after being re-
moved from the station
The officers are trying to determine
whether the matter was a joke or an
actual theft. one theory entertained is
that the bicycle was stolen by parties
who were seeking to make a break
somewhere about the city and escape by
its aid.

INHABITANTS OF MARS.
Vivid Word Picture of Them by Pro.
fessor Perrier.

NJ. Perrier. of the French Natural
History Museum. has been giving in
the "Matin" his ideas of the inhabi-
tants of the planet Mars. He is COM
plimentary.
THE low atmospheric pressure" he
says has produced a considerable de-
velopment of the lungs, and conse-
quently the general character of these
beings has been Influenced by the
great difference between the atmos-
pheric condition on Mars and that on
our earth. One may imagine
that the men of Mars are all the
greater in size because the force of
gravity there is slight, and that they
are light haired because the daylight
is not so intense as with us. In
fine. with perhaps less powerful limbs.
they may resemble our Scandinavian

with a huge head. bulky chest spindle
limbs, and no waist worth speaking OF.
AS for the psychology and phylogeny
of the Marian world. M. Perrier does
not stop to discuss such material
questions as the canal system of the
planet. but says that he believes that
the inhabitants of Mars are kind
hearted. that the animals have no
fear Of their masters. and that the
Martians are acquainted with the
noblest delights of the intellect, and
with the most suave emotions of the
soul.
M. Perrier believes. among other
things that the year on the planet
Mars lasts twice as long as the year
on our earth. and consequently plants
and insects have twice the time in
which to eyolve-consequentl long
grass, huge fruit and insects so much
more perfect as the length of existence
