telegraph, but has kept on perfecting
and commercializing the idea of his
brain, is now in America. True, he
has come on business. for he seldom
goes anywhere except on business.
Just what his plans are, he will not
say, but it is not impossible that the
Italian is perfecting his, plans on this
side of the water so that New York
and Paris can have a continuous ex-
scr ange of messages. Such a work
would greatly reduce the present high
cost of communication by cable. While
here he is to- deliver several addresses

We understand that few farmers
who have not been in the country very
long have become frightened at the
way winter is holding on and say that
they will not risk putting in any spring
wheat. These farmers will make a
mistake if they permit the late spring
to frighten them from sowing spring
wheat. They should consult some of
the farmers who have been in the
county for the past is or 20 years and
they will be told that there is no call
for becoming alarmed at the late spring.
