About all the available farms in this country are now taken up. The re- serve of unopened lanes is getting very small. We aren't going to be able, much longer, to "go west to newer farms when the old ones show ex- haustion. AS population swells and demand increases, we've got to make the old farms do better than they've been doing or supply will fall short and prices soar to even greater nights. In other words, we small farmers have got to make our acres yield more than heretofore. We've got to stand to fill the country's markets.

There is a limit to the amount of land we can own, but there is no limit. at least none within sight at pres ent,-to the improvement we can eff feet upon the land we already own, iS we'll only give it enough brain fod- der and hand work. There is limit to the area we can spread ourselves over, but there is no practicable limit to the perfection we can attain in treat ing the surface we do cover.

No man need feel any more ashamed of being a small farmer than he need feel ashamed of being five foot ten instead of six foot two.
 But any one of us has the right and the duty,-to feel ashamed if he isn't doing the very best farming he knows how.
 It's better farming to get four tons off ten acres than to get two tons of poor hay to the acre oE twenty.
 THE FARMER
Norwich bulletin., 1913-01-11

Not "How much can we farn," but How well can we farm" must be the motto of future farming.
 A blade of grass is a small thing, but he is a better farmer who makes two blades grow where but one grew before,-a better farmer than he who cuts only nine hundred and ninety nine tons where a thousand tons grew before. The first man is going ahead; !; the other man is siumpfng backwards.
 You needn't call it "intensive farm ing" if you have a prejudice against the phrase, but better farming is some thing which nobody ought to object to, and which we've all got to come to if we're going to keep this country self supporting.
 And the average farmer can do bet ter farming on a small farm than on a big one. It doesn't need a uni versity education to see a thing which is as plain as that.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE
HOME-EVEN If IT is JAIL

Dan Dennis, the town sot," as the
chief of police puts it, was, as usual,
before Police Judge Blgin this morn
ing, and pleaded guilty to the charge
Of drunkenness. Twenty days for
YOU" said the magistrate, and, with
out being told, Dennis retraced his
steps through the barred doors.
"IIe is the most pestiferous cuss |
have ever had the misfortune to asso-
ciate with during my administration" ="
said Chief of Police Shedeck today in
speaking Of Dennis case. "He is as
familiar with the inside Of a jail as a
blue-bottle fly is to the bare pate OF
a gouty man in the summer time. He
deliberately breaks into jail, and
seems to enjoy the environment; is
without fear of flees, and can eat any
thing from limburger cheese to stale
bread.p
Not content with getting drunk and
appearing at the stataion for about
the twentieth time, for protection
from cold and hunger, Dennis mixed
with a fellow prisoner last night some
time, and put that gentleman out OF
order considerably. The police at
tempted to bring a charge against him
this morning for assault and battery
and turn him over to the Hotel Dc
Esch, but the assaulted prisoner could
not prove that Dennis performed the
artistic piece Of work on his left op
tic.
Mr. Dennis will be engaged b!

MINTON CARRIES HIS
POINT IN THE COUNCIL
Police Officers Must Turn Over Fees
for Outside Services, to
the City.

Alderman Minton, of the Fifth ward,
won a decisive victory by the adoption
at the council meeting last night Of a
resolution introduced by Minton that
the mayor notify the chief Of police
that all fees collected by the police
while serving as constables, or other
wise on state duty be turned over to
the city treasury and not appropriated
by the officers.
The turn taken on this question last
night was the result Of a controversy
that has been waged in the council
since the new council was inaugurated
at the first Of the year, Minton short
ly after taking office, investigated the
records and found that Chief Of Police
Hamilton had kept fees which had
been paid TO him while acting in the
capacity Of constable. Minton brought
the matter up in tho council and It
was referred to the city attorney for
an opinion The opinion favored the
practice that had been followed by
Chief Hamilton. Minton again went
back into the misty realms Of history
and found that a decision had been
made several years ago that the fees
must be turned over TO the city.
Gets Legal Opinion.
The alderman from the Fifth ward
persisted in the fight and procured
opinions on the charter provision from
four attorneys Of the city, including
former City Attorney A. o. Condit
The other attorneys were G. E. Unruh
IM u. Pogue, and William II Trlndle
Alderman Mlnton read tho opinions
before the meeting last night. lie first
read those Of Unruh, Condlt and Pogue
stating that he had a similar opinion
from Attorney Trlndle, but that he
would not take time TO read II,
Then lnterposed Alderman Rigdon

Mlnton read the opinion.

lenged Alderman Rlgdon.
Rlgdon took tho floor.

StOlz Has Word to Say.
Alderman Stolz, who accepted the
views of Alderman Rigdon, declared
that police officer might be called
before the United States court at any
time, and that he should be entitled to
the fees received for that duty. He
said that under Alderman Minton's
Interpretation, If an officer should re-
celyc a reward Of $1,000 for picking up
some dangerous criminal, he would
have to turn the money over to the

EVOLUTION.

Evolution has long since PASS
ed out of the domain of specula-
ton. of hypothesis and even of
theory. 1t is Il law of living ma
ture as firmly and incontrovert-
IDLY established as the law of
gravitation in respect to the ce-
lestial spheres. Men of science
are thus no longer seeking evil
dence of evolution. because it is
wholly unnecessary to re-enforce
a thoroughly established law.
The reason there is confusion in
the minds of many people re-
garding evolution is that the va
rious explanations of the evolu-
ton process which have been put
forward that is. of the means
by which evolution goes on-are
continually under discussion and
will probably always remain so.
But these doubts. discussions
and even controversies which
are constantly arising regarding
the nature of the evolution proc
eSS do not in the least disturb
the law itself, which is as firmly
established as many of the great
laws of the physical universe
