vorabIe comments made
last April of the methods Of the
Associated Charities.
What reason is there he asks,
for such an organization to exist
in our great land, overlooking with
, opulence?'
There is no reason for any form
of charity to exist in America if the
PEOPLE of America possessed the
focused will power to demand the
rights of every soul born into earth
of the use of EARTH, sun and air
But until the people DO unite and
demand such privileges there must
be an organiza ton for the distri-
button of money to aid the poor.
And there is not one particle of
common sense in abusing this So
ciety, which is doing the best it
can. under great difficulties, or Of
blaming it for the lack Of cooper
ative methods among the people.
The Disconnected reader says no
one is doing anything to bring
about a better condition.
That shows how little he knows
what is being done.
The Single Tax organizations
(Which hold the one great solution
of the problem) are doing wonder
full work and producing wonder
full results. Joseph Fels, the mil
Itonaire philanthropist, who is de-
voting his life and his money to
efforts to bring about justice for
human beings, has settled down to
the conclusion that it can be done
only in one way, and that way by
putting into execution to such ex-
tent as is possible the principles
and precepts of Henry Georges
philosophy of taxing land values,
and nothing else.
He has obtained use Of idle lands
in America and England, and has
practically demonstrated the eftica-
cy of his ideals.
And those who wish to know all
about the experiments here and
abroad need only to write the Jo-
seph Fels Single Tax society. Phil
adelphia, Pa, or New York and
send stamp for mailing pamphlets.
Five hundred gardens, composed
of one-eighth of an acre each, are

Rights Of the Road

Plain, ordinary courtesy, even in the
absence Of statue law, requires that all
travellers on the public highways give up
half the road to other travellers whom
they meet or who overtake and wish to
pass them. Yet the road hog is every
where in evidence. He may drive an OK
team or horses and occasionally is found
riding in an automobile. The breed is
easily recognized, no matter what the
form of conveyance. Some farmers have
the mistaken notion that because they
own the land along the highway and pay
most of the taxes they have greater rights
in the road than others. This is not the
case, however, and attempts to enforce
such alleged rights bring dislike and re-
sentiment.
Some states, Wisconsin for example,
have enacted special laws on the subject
and the courtsare enforcing the penalties.
Thus one farmer, who blocked the road
for "a miles, paid fine Of 500 when the
case was taken into court. He may have
enjoyed the blockade while it WAS in
force, but he could have whole lot more
fun for less money and not earn the con-
tempt of his neighborhood.

Grading for Lawns

1t is throwing away time and money to
grade a lawn foot or two deep with
stones, coal ashes and poor hard pan and
expect to get good permanent seed
ing by covering it with an inch or two Of
good soil. | have known many such
lawns that withered and died after few
days OF hot, dry weather and they we're
continual expense to their owners.
In order to get good lawn it is
necessary to place the soil the way nature
intended it. Rough soil or hard pan will
do if it is Is inches or more deep, but
there should be no piles of loose stones
even at that depth. The next layer
should be sub-soil if obtainahle and finish
with rich soil as deep as pillow would
run.
Few people comprehend that there is
no seed to take the place of the plants
that die as there is in a meadow, and
weeds soon run out the grass unless the
lawn is reseeded properly.
A lawn should be thinly seeded at the
season when timothy begins to loose it's
seed 1t is as natural for grass or clover
seed to grow then as it is for wheat. A
tight seeding should be SOW again as
early in the spring as the weather will
permit. j, H. Andre, Tioga Co., N. Y.

Building a Business

Twenty centuries Of business have
honored the infallible Greek proverb,
''ro Earn More, Learn More"
There Ia no truer law.
The vital problem with the employer
is not--how can secure richer dividends
but--how can devise the ideas and
plans that will produce them.
And 80 with the employee, not--how
can scheme to get promotion, but--how
can | study to fill it when it comes.
You long for bigger salary, larger pro-
fits, greater success.
Then develop bigger ability, larger
capacity, greater thought
No bar and paddock stands between
you and the place or opportunity OF your
ambition. Its door is always open, and
you can pass in whenever YOU will
you can show the passport OF competency.
Success has its price-and you can
pay it il you will. But ability is the only
coin that passes current in its purchase.

Surface Of Stream
Covered with Snakes

Keyser, July 2SA twelve year old
boy, bitten number of times by copper
head snakes when he was marooned in a
creek by the floods last Wednesday is
going to suffer few i'll effects, according to
DR. Huffman, the attending physician.
In some manner the boy was caught
on fence and the waters Of New Creek
soon forged around him. On the surface
OF the stream were hundreds Of snakes,
mostly rattlers and copperheads washed
from their mountain refugees by the
storm. The snakes as they were swept
down the creek were aroused to frenzy
and they struck at every object within
reach, hitting driftwood and the like
many times.
Those passing near the marooned boy
bit him several times, but it is the belief
of the physicians that the snakes, strik-
ing so many times coming down the
stream and before reaching the boy, ex-
hausted their supply Of poison aud were
nearly harmless when they struck the
lad, who is recovering.
1t ia estimated that three thousand
snakes were washed from the mountains
down New Creek past this city Wednes-
day and Wednesday evening lex.

ton avenue. Miss Larew had been iii
just five weeks to the day with typhoid
fever. She was recovering in an en-
couraging manner until last Tuesday
when she suffered relapse. Since then
her condition had been alarming.
Miss Larew graduated from the Fair
mont State Normal school on June 18th,
1912. aud the following day was taken
i'll. The year previous she had graduated
from the Fairmont High School and her
year in the Normal was busy one. She

kept steadily at her studies with the aim
of completing her work and receiving her
diploma on commencement day. She
was bright, ambitious young lady, and
had rapidly advanced in her studies
Miss Larew was young woman of pleas
ing personality and was a general favorite
with all who knew her, especially among
her school companions.
In the home her death comes as a
severe blow. Miss Larew with her sister,
Miss Ivy Larew and her father resided
together, and they were happy little
family. Another sister, Mrs. Hugh Mar

DORCAS SNODGRASS'S
BODY FOUND IN CREEK
West Virginia Girl Had Been Missing from
Sisters Home Since July 18th

CATSKILL, N. Y, July 29.-The
body Of a woman was found in the weeds
on the banks OF the Catskill creek late
yesterday was identified as that Of Miss
Dorcas snodgrass, the West Virginia
nurse who left the home Of her sister,
Mrs. John L. Crider, Of No. 140 Wallace
avenue, Mt. Vernon, for New York, on
shopping trip on July 18th and has not
been seen or heard of since
James Young, OF Catskill, was rowing
on the creek and discovered the body,
which was lying face downward in the
mud.
The woman was about five feet seven
inches tall, with black hair, even, well
kept teeth. She was we'll dressed in
linen crash suit and wore diamond ring,
an expensive belt buckle and junior
Christian Endeavor pin. On her arm
hung black leather bag containing So. As
and her shoes were Of Sorosis make.
Mrs. Order was called on the telephone
and asked what marks Of Identification
her sister had about her when she left.
She mentioned the linen suit, the dla-
mond ring, the Christian Endeayor pill,
and the Sorosls shoes. Her sister also
wore black straw hat, but no hat was
found in the vicinity Of the body. Later
Identification was made positive.
The girl had $40 in her pocketbook
when she left home and probably spent
some Of it in New York. No packages
were found and there were no cards or
marks on the clothing to make Identified
ton certain.
The medical authorities say the body
had not been in the water for more than
four days. Several features Of the case
point to murder, although no visible
signs Of violence were discovered.
The theory is that she IVES either
drugged or poisoned, taken into the
creek from one of the many yachts plying
the Hudson and laid in the mud. LEX.
