And waits for sage advice before he tries.
There's just one recipe to give him
The way to learn of swimming is to swim,
The way to learn of writing is to write,
There is no other counsel worth mite.
Nor is this only true of writing folk;

By playing golf-the artist learned to draw
By sketching nearly everything he saw.
In all the fields of labor there are rules,
And there are teachers and the best of schools
Which guide you on; but still this fact is true;
You've got to DO the thing to learn to do.
To sit and dream of deeds is we'll enough, 81
But dreams are made of very flimsy stuff,
Unless you plan and toll and scheme and act
To make your dream plain accomplished fact

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, April %, 1912.
Cold, rainy weather has delayed the
planting of seed beds in the Connecti-
cut valley. Except under glass, the
soil is still too cold for seed to germin-
ate. Judging from the appearance of
the trees, the season is ten days or
more backward. Because of the scar
city of plants last year many growers
will increase the number Of their seed
beds in order to make an extra dollar
through the sale of plants.
No further plans have come to light
for increased acreage of shaded Tobacco,
but it is reported that a number of
farmers in Broad Brook, Conn.,, and
other towns on the east side of the
river are planning to experiment with
shaded tobacco on small scale.
James III. Prior, fifty-seven years
old, a successful tobacco grower living
in the Weymouth District, Enfield,
Conn.,, died last week, Monday, of
locofnotor ataxia.
Tobacco quotations are virtually NOM
inal, so far as transactions between
buyers and growers are concerned, for
the reason that not enough of the 1911
crop remains in growers hands to make
a tobacco market worthy of the name.

The Short Ballot Trick.

The short ballot trick looks like a
joker to get the better of the voter.
Some Of the politicians advocating it
were pioneers of the primary election
propaganda, the announced object of
which was to give the voter direct con-
troll of nominations. That was not it's
real object It's real object was to break
up the old election machinery, under
which voters who cared to exercise
their power had plenary authority to
control the parties to which they be-
longed, not only as to nominations, but
also as to platforms.
The primary election scheme as
worked out in Wisconsin has disorgan-
lied the parties. 1t permits voters of
one party to cast their ballots in the
primaries Of another party, thus inf1u-
encing the other party'S nominations
and the party platforms are made by
the nominees. so that if man who is
really more a Democrat than Repub-
lican, or more of Socialist than Re-
publican, secures nomination as Re-
publican, he can exploit the notions of
the party whose ideas he favors as
planks in the platform of the party on
whose ticket he may have been placed
by voters VINO do not belong to that
party, and whose desire is to under
mine it.
No wonder that Republican platforms
of late, under such a system, have
looked exceedingly similar to Socialist
platforms.
But these fractional leadesr, now po-
litical bosses of the most pronounced
and dangerous type, are not yet entire
ly satisfied. They are greedy for still
more power-jealous of the little con-
troll that still remains in the hands of
the people, and so they propose the
short ballot, which would further dimin-
ish the peoples participation in the Sc
lection of public officials and still fur
Their entrench fractional bosses who aim
to be not servants of the people but
rulers. It's a great game. Evening

Mr.. Daniel Mccarthy was an over
Sunday visitor in GAINESVILLE.
Most of the farmers have their to-
bacco beds sown and covered with can
vas.
Carl Becker went to GAINESVILLE on
Saturday and stayed until Monday, the
guest of George Dooley.
Mr.. S. Dooley and son John are both
out from GAINESVILLE this week making
some improvements on the farm.
A nice rain visited this part of the
town on Sunday and Sunday night,
which was greatly needed, but the
weather still continues too cold for veg
citation.
Arthur Green does not improve very
fast and is still confined to his bed, this
being the fourth week. The doctor
SAYS it is very stubborn case Of in
flammatory rheumatism.
Mable Whaley, who has been work.
ing here, is keeping house for her par
ents in Indian Ford this week, as they
were called to Rome, Jefferson county,
owing to the dangerous illness of Mrs.
sTThaley's mother who is nearly IS years
old.
The pupils of the White Star district
and their teacher, Miss Marion Pur-
rington, gave a program and box social
on Saturday night which was very
enjoyable affair. Nearly twelve dollars
was realized which will be used for
curtains, etc.
We forgot to mention in our items
last week the very pleasant surprise
perpetrated on Mr.. and Mrs. Mike
Riley, it being their 25th wedding an
niversary, the day they gave the we'd
ding to their daughter, Mrs. Will Ford.
When all were assembled at the dinner
table, Mr.. Chas. Hoague, in behalf of
their nearby friends and neighbors,
and in few we'll chosen words, pre-
sented the host and hostess with set
of silver knives and forks, teaspoons,
tablespoons and a gravy ladle. 1t was
a fitting reminder of the happy occa-
sion.

learned, outside dealers are not touch
ing it at all. At the same time it must
not be thought that none is selling, for
such is not the case. Some of the
packers are riding the country looking
up the best of what is left, but those
who are buying are getting it at pretty
much their own price.
The packers are busy just now put
ting their new packings in shape for
the sweat, the bulk of which will be

tending to the new crop the dealers are
not pushed with work. Trading shows
no signs of improvement, though there
are Indications of a frightening of the
cigar industry.
A good many inquiries are being
made about 1910 goods, but when it
comes to the question Of price, nego-
tiations fall through. Fifteen cents,
marked weight, has blen freely offered
by prospective. buyers, but the local
packers ask few cents more, on the
ground that they cannot afford to sell
at the price offered.

Assessment to Be Made at Full Val
uatiOn.

The assessors of Rock county were
called together Monday and given their
instructions regarding the work they
will be engaged in the present month.
F. A. Taylor, income tax assessor
and supervisor of assessment for Rock
county. who issued the call for the
meeting, addressed the assessors on the
matter of instructions. He read from
the orders sent out by the state tax
commission and allowed time for re-
marks and questions from the assess
ors present.
The order has been issued by the
commission that the property in the
state shall be assessed this year at its
true valuation. Mr.. Taylor declared
that it was up to Rock county to do as
instructed and to obey the law.
Mr.. Taylor referred to a case in Wal
worth county where man stated that
no assessor had seen his property for
three years. els it fact that you do
not view the property" asked Mr..
Taylor, ''that you merely copy the as
sessment rolls? Assessing property is
like invoicing goods and should be done
with the same care and accuracy"
This reused something like storm
of protest from the assessors who de
clared they always were on the ground
to see the property. They objected to
the assessment at full valuation, how
ever, and said their instructions last
year called for only 80 per cent.
cit would double the time needed to
make the assessment, said one man,
and we wouldn't have friend left in
our townships. 1t will create feeling
against the lawmakers and this state
will go democratic as sure as the
world"
Other problems with reference as to
how to determine the exact valuation,
the part of the equalization boards, the
board of review, and the relation of
the assessors to their town boards with
regard to the payment for assessors
services and the time devoted to the
work were considered.
