gotiations which have just ended an
agreement drawn up with the officials
of the Georgian Southern and Florida

was the date of expiration of the old
contract between the Georgia South
ern and Florida and the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers. On account of the
illness of Superintendent F. w. Scott.

drawing up of the contract were post
poned until last week.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

Toronto, Sept. 3.-An organizer for
the Brotherhood of Painters is en-
gagged in an organizing campaign in
Ontario, and his efforts are meeting
with success. The craft has been
largely unorganized in most of the
centers west of Toronto and Hamil-
ton, the London and Stratford locals
having lapsed several years ago. These
and painters in other places in this
section of the country are talking or
ganization. The outlook now is that
greater extent than ever before at the
close of the campaign.

The carpenter is a dressmaker who
works in lumber. His job is to cut out
and baste together the materials for a
house and to fit it to the family which is
to wear it.
Carpenters are born, not educated. 1t
requires a specially designed eye to steer
a saw across a twelve-inch board without
allowing It to wander on the way like a
lodge member returning from initiation.
A carpenter can take a wagon load of
lumber and work 1t up into a Gothic
barn without wasting anything but the
sawdust, whereas, If an amateur were to
try to build a dog house from the same
wagon load he would have to steal a
piano box and part of his wife's flour bin
in order to piece out.
The badge Of the carpenters profession
is rag around the left hand thumb. He
is a quiet man who does not talk much,
but who loves to get up shortly after
sunrise and produce a riot with his ham
mer and saw. Two carpenters building
a barn can produce a chorus which can
be heard all over a ward, but nobody
minds it. The song of the carpenters
saw is the anthem of prosperity, and
when the carpenter loafs and his small
son uses his chisels to dig fish worms
the census returns of that city are not
worth gathering.
The carpenter lives a wild, free life on
the ridge poles and caves like a cat, and
likes nothing better than to fill his face
full OF shingle nails and put new lid on
the house of a prominent citizen. Moth
ing fills the common citizen with more
awe than TO see carpenter drive a large
low-browed nail into the side Of a house
without using guides or sights. A car
penter can drive a nail six inches into
beam with five blows, but an amateur
can do better than that. He can drive

The Manly Art Not Dead.

bellicose gesticulation appropriate TO a

appeal to-or threat of-the manly art
of self-defense is indeed become so fro
quent that the witnesses and attorneys

ing quite ready to demonstrate that
his hitherto amiably proprietary use
of the martial title of colonel need
not be regarded as a totally un-
warranted assumption OF military rank.

desire for extraneous visibility Of any
person offending by interrogatory or
testimony is at once one of the most
inspiriting and one of the most impress
sive notes in the gamut of human ex-
preston in which the variant tempera-
ments of our Congressional and lay
performers upon the harp OF investiga-
tive minstrelsy have found an easy
outplay of their emotions.
The people at large, doubtless mys-
tifed that so many challenges to be

The One Great Lesson for Farmers.

The farmers of the country are
looking forward with keen interest to
the report OF the Commission of Ag-
ricultural Cooperation which has re-
turned from its journey to study agri-
cultural conditions in Europe.
The first impression President But
terheld, of the commission, says he
received was surprise at the "virility
of European nations, especially on the
Continent He declares that it will
be a mistake longer to declare Europe
unprogressive. Northern Italy, Ger
many and France furnish examples of
energy and progress. More human
derelicts were seen upon the streets Of
British and Irish cities than in any Of
those on the Continent.
The Germans raise thirty bushels OF
wheat to the acre, where we raise IF
teen, and the best of their farmers can
produce forty-fve, though the annual
rainfall is only about twenty-seven
inches, or not more than half the
amount normal in this country. People
in the United States who fear that we
cannot feed our people in the future
must change their attitude. Germany,
smaller than Texas in area, is very
nearly supporting its 66,ooo,ooo people
The extension work is not done by the
colleges, but by cooperative and state
agricultural societies.
We call agriculture our fundamental
industry, and such it must remain.
continues the preliminary report. The
gang-plows tear up the soil over
great areas with swiftness. Our crops
fall before the great harvesters. But
that is not the whole of farming
President Butterfeld was impressed BY
the manner in which cooperative ideas
are worked out European farmers
cooperate in securing mortgage credit
personal credit, short time loans in
getting farm and home supplies, in
manufacturing, in dairying, in storage,
in selling, in insurance, and even in
their ordinary farm work. The gov
ernment and private interests are help
full toward agriculture.
The one great lesson learned by the
commission was this: Cooperation is
the key to agricultural success; CO.
operation will enable the farmer to get
more from his land and feed the ma
ton better"

A Zealously Guarded Naval Secret.

1t is common belief nowadays that
the nation possessing the largest ships
and the most deadly guns is destined
toe be victorious in a modern naval
warfare. To certain degree this is
true, but the part played by more re-
cent inventions must not be lost sight
of.
To the average citizen, whose knowl-
edge of naval matters does not ex-
tend beyond stereotyped departmental
statements or newspaper reports, this
may not sound probable. Yet this is
so, there being taken into considera-
ton wireless telegraphy which vir-
tually may decide a great naval battle
before the opposing fleets sight each
other.
And in this connection it is not
known generally that there is one very
recent invention that assures Great Bri-
tain's supremacy in wireless operations
by what is known as the reflector"
the properties of which, as the name
suggests, are to reject" all messages
Or ether waves that are not meant for
The British ships. /
By this simple contrivance the trick
Of breaking up feet messages is Of
waited, while, on the other hand, an
English operator, having once tuned"
his instrument to the current of an
opposing vessel, is able TO play havoc
with its communications, and in most
cases would be able to render a fleets
