What is MateriaIism?
BY Maud v Warfield. Ketchuri. Idaho

Several have requested me 10 ex-
plain the above question. What is
materialism? In reply | will say
materialism is the science of all
science of all facts in nature of the
modes and operations of matter, of
all demonstrated knowledge. Mater
ialism means nature only nature
and a God. Matter is a combina-
ton Of visible and invisible forces
physical and chemical. There is no
God, we have no need of one. BY
close observation we see that ma
ture does all things spontaneously
without any help from the God.
Nothing exists in the universe but
matter or material things. Reno,
matter and nothing remains. Re-
move God, devil, souls spirits and
an nature continues serenely etcr- |

HILLS LAKE A RE-
 FUGE FOR WILD BIRDS

Little Rock, March 29-The owners of the property upon which Hills Lake, near Little Rock, is located, are meeting to- day with E. V. Visart regarding a proposition to turn the lake in- to a refuge for wild towels. This lake is several miles in length and about half a mile wide. It has for years been a favorite hunting and fishing place for cit izens of Little Rock.
 Hearing that the owners were to organize a club to permit only the members to fish in the lake Visart took the proposition of making the lake a refuge for birds up with them. He propos- es to bring white heron, and many other migratory birds from the Avery Island, La game pre- serve, and stock the place. These birds will not be confined and will leave in the spring after the nesting season, but will return in the winter, as do these which annually go back to the Avery Island preserve, where 90 per cent of the white heron of the world, and practically all the blue geese, raise their young.

 Town.
WENT AFTER RAILROAD

Especial Correspondence TexarkanianO
 Mt. Ida, March 19.-At the present time all eyes are turned to Mt. Ida, the county seat of Montgomery county. Why :? Be- cause of its progressiveness. Last August it's citizens got to- gether and said We must have a railroad. We have been no. where long enough the time has come to be somewhere And right there and then they sub- scribed S30,000 as starter. They went to work with will and be- fore many days a right-of- way 100 feet wide was made right through the timber and today the nucleus of track to the out side world has made its stamp on this part of Arkansas, and this railroad will be in operation by the end of July. Everybody knows why Mt. Ida grows. She does things. A little later a bond issue for a new S12,000 school, house was foated, which will be ready for the fall opening. Within the past four months eight new business houses have been built, while fifty residences have been erected in the same length of time, and already it begins to look like an Aladdin's city. A new stave mill is being operated by the American Hard< wood Lumber Co.,; which will have a very large capacity a brickyard is under course of construction - the m ach n cry already having been delivered, to furnish brick for the three 2 story business houses to be erected this summer. The big gest lum Der mill in the state aud other smaller mills have decided to come here as soon as the new railroad is completed.
 Land has risen in value to an enormous extent A new addi- tion to the town has been laid out and the lots are selling like hot cakes. The F. J, Raymond Realty Go. is behind the deal and that is enough to krow, for the success Of the undertaking is assured Tn that case.
 Healthful? Why. yes. Too high for''germs to find a welcome among it's inhabitants. And it's water is as pure as Nyad's pool.
 Mt. Ida has set out her light on the Hill of Prosperity,- -and 1t cannot be hid. " So says one Of our philosophers. Agreat influx of people is expected this sum- mer and the boom will keep on growing when the tide of home seekers and investors begin com ing into our midst.
 Mir. F. J. Raymond, the owner of the new sub division spoken of, is now at the Miller hotel in Prescott, and has sold a good many lots to our local people in the past two weeks.
 Fortunate for those who are investing. We have travelling men out of Prescott who make Mt. Ida every week, and they all

Why We Welcome
 The Small Account
VN~N-

Banks quite frequently accept deposits and handle accounts which, because of their small, account, represent distinct loss in clerical tune and labor.
 Nevertheless, this bank has long since adopted the plan of inviting the small depositer to transact his business with us in the hope that the assistance this bank render his busi- ness will in time develop his account into large and profitable one
 There are other other reasons, too, A large 'oIume of small business furnishes ideal condi- 1'ohs Tor safe banking because the greater mum oer of people this bank can serve, the greater US usefulness to the community.
 And small deposits make it possible for us 'o make small loans and large number ot snla1 loans, from standpoint of safe banking, 'S preferable to few large ones.

DISSOL UTI0N OF
SHOE LAST TRUST
Final Decree of U. S.
District Court
Accepted
Defendants Include NJ any
Manufacturers In the
Bay State

Detroit, Feb. dissolution Of an
other patent monopoly'-the shoe
last trust-was effected here, today,
by the department of justice when 18
firms and a score Of individual defen-
dants accepted a final decree of the
United States district court and agreed
to notifications in their plan OF do
ing business.
The trust. the government alleged,
was headed by the Krent1er-A -AronId
Hinge Co, of Detroit, owner of pa
tents, which licensed its patents to
the other firms and dominated the
prices for lasts of all descriptions,
patented and unpaterted through Ii
cense agreements and the carry club
an organization of licenses, under the
Krent1er & Arnold patents.
The decree as given by Judge Tut
tie, today holds that the patent Ii
cenees and the carry club eonstitut-
ed agreements in restraint of trade.
The governments contention, ac-
cepted by acquaint tance of the trust,
was that the license plan and the car
ry club brought about an understand
ing with manufacturers who control
led rs percent Of the business. Fhe
result. 1.-The government charged, was
that the price of unpatented plain
block lasts was so high and that for
the patented product SO little higher
that consumers would be justified in
purchasing the hinge last.

100000 lNGRAFT
MONEY MONTE THLY
Gambler Purcell Says He Paid
100000 for Police
Protection

: New York, Feb. THE sensation,
today, in the gigantic police graft Nex-
posure was the appearance before the
aIdermanic investigating committee of
James Purcell, one of the biggest
gamblers in the city, with q, complete
revelation of his payment of protec-
tion money to. the police for 10 years.
Purcell said he. had paid more than
100000 for police protection for his
several gambling houses scattered
through the tenderloin.
Purcell was turned over to the al
dermanic committee by District Attor-
ney Whitman, who had the gambler
under cover since the beginning of the
Becker trial.
Based on Captain walsh's figures,
the amount of graft that went direct
ly to the 'men higher up at police
headquarters, was, about $4,000
month.
New York's widely known and ap-
parentIy invulnerable system of graft
and bIacknnaiI has been cracked wide
open. With three captains, an inspec-
tor and a deputy police commissioner
at headquarters directly implicated in
the collection of vice-protection
money; District Attorney Whitman,
today, began a careful narshallfng of
the facts in his possession to present
before a special grand jury, Monday,
when the Indictments of Captain
Walsh and Inspector Sweeney are ex-
pected.

Following the disclosures in The
Farmer yesterday of gross inaccur-
acies in the block maps drawn by the
city engineering force for properties
in the business center of the city, it
was learned today that a. complete
new survey has been ordered for that
section.
A force of men from the city en-
gineer's office were working today on
the new surveys that City Engineer
A. H. Terry hopes will straighten out
the glaring errors that have been
brought to light.
The disclosures by The Farmer yes
terday created no end of comment
Several business men today began
making private surveys in an effort
to find out If they had been over
charged by the assessors, who base
their figures on the city engineer 9
maps.
City Engineer Terry admitted today
that the maps for the center of the
city we're based, mainly, on records
OF the office. A survey of this Sec
ton, the most important financially
to the city, was not made by him.
Mr. Terry claims that such was the
the records complied before his term
of Office began should have been ac-
curAte The s.Fflo1111nent books and
block maps prepared by his predeceg-
soEs, he says, formed the working
basis for the new block maps.
Mr.. Terry said that a. complete new
survey. has been begun and he hopes
that errors, admittedly in the present
MAPS will be rectiffed.
Frauk E. Lalley today presented to
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-02-07

the city engineer and board OF RELIEF
a claim that he had been olaakEed for
over seven feet frontages tA4&t ne does
not own, In Water street. MI. Lal-
ley's building fronts 4.5 feet on Wa
ter streets. Tive block maps charge
him with a frontage of 51.6O feet
It is the claim of the city engineer
that a. difference in the street line l.
responsible for this discrepancy. The
street line runs on an angle at that
point, and Mr.. Balley'S building ig
squared off from it. The ACTUAL
ing, according to Mr.. LAlley's maps, 4s
A.5 feet. The city engineers nIaas-
urements Of the street line in front
of his building is 51.60 feet. Mr.. La1-
ley's claim is that he should be charg-
ed for his actual building frontage and
not for property 11e doesn't use.
The city engineers force win include
this property, of course in it's new
survey.
Heirs of the BudaaB estate, owning
the building at the southeast corner
of Main street and Fairfield aVenue,
today filed with the board OF relief
maps showing discrepancies In the
measurement of their property. A
special map prepared by ScOaeld &s
Ford shows the actual frontage in
Main street to be E.74 feet. The city
engineers map showed a frontage of
1872.
This DISCREPANCY of nearly five feet
means a difference of about $4,000 in
the grand list; or more than s2oo ~
taxes based ON a II mill rate.
The Budau property maps were fled
this afternoon with the board of re-
from the figures of the assessors. The
original deed for this property, filed in
April, 1851, gave the Main street front
age as slightly less than ~ feet.

This means that bonding bills. ag-

be saddled upon the taxpayers of
Bridgeport if the various individuals
who are promoting the several
