duotIcns.
According to the bulletin Of the fed
ersl bureau Of labor the average price
,of dozen or more Of the principal ar
ticles of food has increased 80 per cent
in the last ten years.
The price of -four has increased 80
per cent. lard IS per cent, steak 50
per cent, hams CT per cent. cornmeal
es per cent. rib roast eS per cent.
round steak 81 per cent, pork chops
ss per cent, bacon SO per cent, and
irish potatoes II per cent.
During these ten years OF rising
prices Roosevelt and Taft were at the
head OF the government. Both Of them
want to be at the head Of the govern.
ment again.
Does any sane man believe that II
these men in ten years did nothing to
retArd the rise of prices which arc
depressing the people they would do
anything in four yearsf Rather, iudg>
ing by the past. we should be paying
approximately 26 per cent. more than

10 did ten years ago.
Live Your Life.
We sometimes wonder of what use,
We are. and why we are put on earth.
One day is added TO another and we
seem to be no further advanced on the
pathway Of our lives. AS Mark Twain
would have put 1t, we do not appear
to be gaining on the scenery. Yet
there is room In the world, and need
in the world, for each and every one
of us, and. therefore, We must keep on
going to the end. Emerson has
poem in which the squirrel talks to
the mountain and says: IF cannot
carry forests on my back neither can
you crack nut" You can do some
thing nobody else can do, namely,
live your life. You have the chance.
II you will only take 1t, and have
mine. II we can do nothing else we
can at least be some ones friend, and
there IS nothing that the world more
keenly wants and sadly needs.-I.a-

II. f. d. No. 3.
This is the required amount OF work
to raise good acre of corn, which
shows that poor work and not enough
cultivation does not pay.
This was taken from a careful record
which have kept from the first of the
season.
| am working in club, that Is, 1t
has been club. but all other members
except one have failed. Commencink
as did this is the work:
In spite of the stumps the land was
plowed evenly and s inches deep, on
April 10th.
Then the heavy spring rains came
and it was not dsked until May 2. 1t
was well disked with disk Tapped half
and followed with drag harrow which
made good seed bed
The land is new upland and light
red loam
Before planting the sed was tested
as all seed corn should be which re-
suited in an almost perfect stand and
....1 s,e,..,. - ta..f,,t Tine
The planting was done with check
row planter May 3, which was Is days
late.
The harrow which is an important
implement in the cultivation of corn.
was used once before the corn came
up.
Tile lrst cultivation was done with
a four shovel cultiyator and was re-
peated three times The last time the
arch broke some stalks The corn
was hoed when il was about three
weeks old and thinned to two stalks
in the hill
The drought was threatening the
crops and drag which fit in between
the rows was used to level the sur.
face of the soil TO preserve the mois-
ture and think it did great deal of
good.
A double shovel with round pointed
shovels was used twice after the culti-
vator was abandoned but was not al
lowed TO run too deep.
The crop was finished with the drag
and not weed was left to rob the
corn
Before harvest the plot was care
fully measured, 97x5O yards, which is
about 10 hills more than an acre.
The cost is as follows
Rent. $500 breaking land, SL20;
disking, S0c; narrowing. 20c planting,
4Oc, seed corn l5c; cultivation (6
tines, $l.SO; hoeing, soc; dragging
3Oc; harvesting, $l.7O. Total cost $11.55
The yield was AZ 1910 bushels, care
fully weighed. AT soc per bushel this
leaves a net profit Of s2i.29, less slt.55
equals 1914

A NEW FRONT AT T.. e. GARRISON
e. CO.'S STORE.

Tuesday was the first day there was
any outside evidence OF what was going
on al Clarkson's as one was passing. but
there has been much going on back of
the scenes for a week. Down in the base
ment iron Orders are being placed to hold
the graduated tile entrance. There will be
no steps to stumble over as you
will see when the new front Is
finished. This new front Is to be
finished in No. quartered oak paneled
sides and top. with concealed electric
lights. The tops of each window are to
be in prism glass. which reflect a greater
light into the store, and look much nicer
from the outside, in connection with the
plate glass windows, which are held to-
gether with metal sash, the very latest
way that they are installed In large cities
When this new front is finished you will
see goods displayed in six new windows
instead Of two, as they are to be the oc-
togonal style. three on each side Of the en-
trance, extending into the store q feet
from the walk.
All of this work necessitates disposing
OF their summer stock quick: at trenend-
Gus reductions from all former prices. not
only from the first floor. but on each Of
the other floors, In every department.
They ask the Indulgence OF the public
while this work Is going on.

PILOT WITHOUT ARMS.
License Granted to c. A. Luts, Expert
with His Toes.

Probably the only man In the United
States to hold pilots license when he Is
without arms Is Charles a. Lutz, who 10
spending the summer at Grand Isle and
who was organized license Tuesday by
Inspectors Goodhue and Rockwell. He In
tends to operate his IS foot power boat
among the islands and to carry pas
sengers.
Lutz appeared at the ONCE Of the In
spectors several days ago and although
he seemed In every way qualified to run
n boat, a pilot without arms had never
before been heard Of and the inspectors
were In u quandary as they did not know
but he would be disqualified for physical
disability. Upon writing to Washington
they were notified that II the inspectors
could be satisfied OF Lutz's ability to get
away with the job, license could be
granted.
Tuesday Mr.. Lutz arrived In the city.
making the trip by boat without assistance
from his cottage In Grand Isle and took
the inspectors for ride. They went out
around the breakwater and passed a tug.
There seemed to be no trouble with the
operator Of the engine and when he took
the engine to pieces with his toes and
handled a wrench as well as q mechanic
could with his hands. he was told that
he could have the license.
| The boat which Lutz Is now using he
helped to build himself and wrote a story
OF his experiences for a motor boat paper.
His longest trip by water was from Chi
cago to New York, when he came through
the Great Lakes without assistan nee. Since
that time he has run many other boats
on long trips He Is an excellent SWIM

the Schulykill river In Philadelphia few

There Is
NJ ore Than
One Reason
Why You
Should Use

BLAU.GAS is the safest
illuminant known.
BLAU-GAs will not freeze
nor condense in the pipes
under any circumstances.
BLAU-GAS is the richest gas
ever produced and therefore
has the greatest lighting ef-
ficiency of any illuminant.
BLAU-GAs produces three
times as much heat per cubic
foot as ordinary city gas,
making it ideal for cooking
and heating.
BLAU-GAS costs less per
candle power than any other
system Of isolated lighting.
BLAU-GAs requires only a
small equipment. Therefore
the cost of installation is very
low.
BLAU-CAS is easily installed.
BLAU.GAs needs practically
no attention or care-merely

ties for full ones.
You can see BLAU.GAS in
