BUTTER PRODUCTION.

The high price of butter during the past winter caused more than the usual amount of interest to be at tached to that farm product. Few peo- pie realize the great amount of it that is consumed each year in this country alone The result of the 1909 census shows that in that year there were l,620, 0,766,000 pounds of butter produced, valued at S405,O00,00O. The farms turn out a third more of the production than the factories and cooperative creanneries, the farms showing 996,- O00.OOo pounds for that year. About half of that quantity is produced from the west north central division, Wis consin leading as a state and making, in fact, almost twice as much butter as does all of New England. Its pro- duction was 1S1,049 pounds.
 Vermont is the butter state of the New England division. making more than half of the 6S.699 pounds pro- duced and of that 40,733 pounds were made on farms. Maine is second and New Hampshire third while Connec- ticut by a small margin beats Massa- chusetts in this business, having pro- duced 5,S4S pounds, valued at s1,S32 This means that Connecticut fails to make enough butter in a year to sup ply this city ten days. Butter making requires more time and attention than the farmers wife can afford to give it for the average market price, but with one and a half billion pounds val ued at over 400 million dollars, it makes a big line of trade throughout the country

SELECTION OF POLICE.

There is nothing unusual about the difficulty in the selection of members for the police force. It always has been and is likely to continue to be a question of favoritism. but with their customary dissensions, with the full power in their hands, the democrats have delayed and baked It has been customary for some time to select the nrst supernumerary on the list, at least among the party men, to go on to the regular force. While this is not oblg- aeery Oh the part of the commission CTS, in making the recommendation and the council in appointing. yet it is but fair The man at the top has served the longest Of any of the super numeraries He has the right to be- lieve that he will be the one selected Co hn the next vacancy rather than the man in the middle or at the foot of the list who has seen less service.
 The man at the top is entitled to the appointment unless therO is some valid reason why he should not be named. 1T he has refused to do supernumerary duty. is incompetent or is not deserv- ing Of the appointment, he is not com potent Co serve as a supernumerary and should be removed. The men on The list Of supernumeraries are sup posed to be men fit and willing to do duty. and it is but following out the proper tendency to pick from the top. The elimination process should be- come a fixed rule in this respect and there can then be no excuse for skip ping several who must be considered 1it until shown Co be otherwise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Warning Issued.


 Mir. Editor: The newspapers of the smaller towns throughout the country are frequently solicited to insert read ing advertisements for the Philadelphia school for nurses, located at 2,219 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and as 1t poses as a benefcent and charitable Institution these advertisements are inserted free of charge.
 The visitor of the Pennsylvania, state board of charities in report says: Nothing to be seen worth reporting. No indication of lessons or instruction. Your visitor cannot commend this in stitution;" and in letter says: This last places this institution under the head of those we condemn absolutely in our printed report
 It Is advisable that the public should know that the young women who enter this school as pupils are sent out after having had the most meager instruc- ton from incompetent instructors, to nurse in private families for money, 80 per cent. of which is returned to the school treasury. They receive no bed side instruction nor are they under the direction of skilled and competent teachers.
 The chief of the bureau of health in his report to the director of health and charities of the city of Philadelphia says: T feel that it is an imposition on the public to allow this class of nurses to practice their profession, as the fol- lowing circumstances connected with these cases of typhoid fever prove con- clusively to my mind that these nurses are not properly trained to be intrust- ed with the noble work Of nursing the sick"
 The graduates of this school are not accepted by the American National Red Cross society nor the nursing corps of the army and navy; they are not ad-

THAMES NAVAL STATION.

There is a persistent effort in tho navy department to do away with many of the naval stations along the coast, and it was only a short time ago that an attempt to abolish the Thames river coaling station was frustrated by Congressman Higgins. The naval appropriation bill, which will soon be reported, plans to abandon five naval stations, and the department is anx- ious that the legislation be put through this session. Included in the five is the station on the Thames above New London. Economy is the reason as- signed.
 The~ abandonment of the station should and undoubtedly will be op- posed, but how successfully it can be done remains to be seen. The land where the coaling station is was given to the government ito be held by the United States for naval purposes A million and a half has been expended there including S13OO0O a dozen or more years ago for the present coaling apparatus. In the gift it was stipu- lated that the land should be held for naval purpose, so the abandonment means the throwing away of all claim Co the property. Located as it is, at such an important point on the Sound, in connection with the Notifications, it's value as a coaling station has long been realized, and it seems like cast ing to the wind the expenditures of A. years to effect a saving which cannot run over few thousand dollars year with it's present equipment. Its maintenance is insignificant compared to the importance of such station when needed.

WILL NOT DENY A BOLT.

Theodore Roosevelt has refused 10 deny that he will head a third ticket following his defeat for the nomination in the republican convention at Chi Cago. While this may not be the equivalent 10 an admission that he will. 1t bears the earmarks of d plan which he has in mind and is not ready Co diyulge He is shrewd enough to know that such would be an unwise declaration at this stage of the con- test. both in regards to whatever chance he may have in the convention and the after effect upon the rank and file of the party in general.
 Bitter determination to win. regard less of the cost. never stood out more plainly than in the last speeches of the Colonel. where he assails the truthful ness of the presidents statements to the point of calling him everything hut liar and he evidently refrains from that with reluctance. Roosevelt re- lies upon memory in making his charges and Taft replies by existing records. Roosevelt did stop the liar vester trust prosecution, whether Taft consented or not and Taft has insti- tuted proceedings against the trust which Roosevelt failed to do.
 These are the facts, no matter how much Roosevelt depends upon his per sonal word to sway the crowd until 1t cries Sic 'em. Ted." and laughs at The situation. Unsubstantiated accusa- tioHs should receive little weight.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
ROSIE'S PLUME

Mine" said the girl in the middle, is to have roses on it-big, pink rosesl''
 Yellow daisies on mine.a ehimed in the girl on the left, happily. Its great"
 Rosie pressed her lips together and said nothing, but when the two glanced at her the expression on her face arrested them It was as though she were about to burst with some great triumph
 Whats yours?' they asked in chorus.
 It was great moment for Rosie Never till she had gone to work in the cigar factory had she ever had a cent of her own, And since that dawn of financial independence few of the dol lars she had earned had remained in her possession. When there is a large and hungry brood of young brothers and sisters at home and head of the house conspicuous by his absence, things go rather badly. Rosie had helped her mother, as was expected of her. Never had she enjoyed the de- lirium of shopping expedition, for her clothes all her life had been the made over and handed down articles given to her mother by the families for which she washed and ironed. To Rosie clothes had never presented themselves as a source of pleasure; they were rather a necessity and a nuisance and they were invariably ugly. But this year-it was not for nothing that she had painstakingly saved from the incessant demands on her small wages each week. Patience and persistence were among her Vir- tues
 My spring hat!" Rosie repeated with a delightful air of nonchalance. "Oh, I'm going to have a straw hat with a real plume on 1t. a willow plume."
 The other girls stared at her in awed silence. Then envy swept away their surprise. "Ain't she stylish, though" cried the girl on the left. shrilly.
 Rosie knew in that moment com pensation for some things that she had always missed in life. Its so long," she measured with her hands. She smiled dreamily. Another week and the sum necessary for the purchase of the feather would be in her hand. Life was decidedly worth living. Moreover, it was joy to her soul to outshine for once the other girls in the factory, whose glances at her attire were uni formly contemptuous. Perhaps with the hat on her head the foreman would conclude that she was well worth pausing to laugh and talk with at noontimes as he laughed and talked with the others. He was a good look ing foreman, too.
 Hurrying home at dusk that night, Rosie stumbled over a younger brother standing at corner window with his

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

Tom Johnson used to live back in the woods on little clearing at Island Grove, Illinois. He was a good hunters, good fellow, and a good philosopher. Once 1 asked him a question. All around him the Smiths and Browns had enormous farms. many acres in extent. They fattened cattle, were rich and smoked ten-cent cigars which they bought in Jacksonville. Tom Johnson owned only ten acres, was poor and smoked Killlinick pipe-to- baeco which he~bought at Doc Prices country store.

face glued against the glass.
 'Wnatchu doin here, kid?" she de- manded.
 Joseph kicked one wornout shoe and edged away. "Aw, gcc!" he said, thickly 'Wish't I could get pair"
 The window had an enticing display of roller skates and the card an- nounced that they were $1.50 a pair. They might as well have been $1,0o0,- 900 so far as Joseph was concerned. He followed Rosie home unwillingly. At supper he was silent and absorbed.
 T s'pose," Rosie said to herself, that he is as crazy about those skates as l was about my willow plumel Say the kid fasn't never had anything any more than have!"
 This was new and surprising thought. Rosie realized that not she alone had been deprived of desirable things. She felt sorry for Joseph. His face was glued to the window again when she came home the next night.
 Joseph, of course, did not really need the skates. Rosie assured herself of this several times during the next day. They were luxury and he had long life ahead of him to work for luxuries. It was merely fate that had provided him with a face that looked pathetic and wisteul. If he had been snub- nosed and fat Rosie knew it would not seem half so sad to think of Joseph being deprived of the wish of his heart Besides, it really was vastly more important that she should have decent clothes so that a young man would not be ashamed to be seen with her.
 Rosie went home that night with the rest of the money necessary for the purchase of the willow plume tucked away in the corner of her handker- chief Already she tilted her head as she would be obliged to do to balance the floating feather jauntily. Joseph was not at the window. He was on the rickety doorstep sitting with his chin in his hands quite like despon- dent old man. When she spoke to him he did not raise his eyes.
 "Aw, gee!" he grumbled, and there were tears in the gruff words In the distance some boys shot down the street on skates. Rosie stood and looked at him irresolutely for a min ute Then she turned. Come on, kid" she ordered, brusquely.
