CANALS STANDARD DEPTH
Along Atlantic seaboard, Urged at
Waterways Meet.

Waterways Meet.
New London, Conn.-The standard
ization in depth of all canals along
the Atlantic seaboard was advocated,
amid much enthusiasm on the part
of the delegates by Congressman
John H. Small of North Carolina in
his address to the Atlantic Deep Wa
.terways convention at its fifth an
nual convention.
Mr.. Small had been introduced as
the apostle of deeper waterways and
followed Charles Elmer Smith, secre-
tary of the Philadelphia builders ex-
change, who read the report OF Gen.
W. H. Bixby, chief of engineers, in
the United States, in which a IA
vorable report had been made for a
canal twelve feet dsep from Norfolk
to Beaufort Inlet, n. c., at cost of
s5,oOo,O0O
Mr.. Small said that while his state
was to receive the first benefits Of
the movement for deeper waterways,
it would work just as energetically
for consummation of plan which
would link into one great waterway
the 14S harbors and rivers which in
dent nearly seven thousand miles of
the coast. The great end to be
sought, he believed, was to make ev-
cry city and town of all these segre-
gated inlets communicable for water
borne traffic each with the other.

RURAL TELEPHONES.
Durham, N. c., Sun Tells in Editorial
Value of the Telephone to
Farmers

We are glad to notice that quite a
number of farmers of this county
have recently installed telephones in
their country homes with connection
with the Durham exchange. There
is nothing that adds more to the
comfort and pleasure of living in the
country than a telephone. 1t brings
to the home assurances of safety
from many evils that come to the
country home. The telephone places
the home in instant connection with
medical aid; it commands instant as
sistance in case of accident, fire or
other calamity; and in case of busi-
ness it is of very great Importance.
The farmer who has telephone in
his home saves his horses and teams
many needless trips. He can know
when to go to market by phoning and
finding out the price of products on
the day he expects to go to market.
If the prices are low he can wait un-
til next day, or next week.
In fact the advantages of the tele'
phone in the country home are SO
numerous that it is impossible to
mention them in detail. We are glad
to know that our farmers are waking
up to their value, and we predict that
as a few live, progressive farmers in
stall these conveniences that others
will follow.
At present we have several lines
running out from Durham.
We hope to see the day come when
the entire county will be covered by
rural phone lines.-Durham IN. CO.

Disease Germs Lurking in Most

New York.-The average man who
stands at the edge Of a swimming pool
ready to take the plunge which for
