PAT GROVE GREETS HIS FRIEND MURPHY OF
 OLD KENTUCKY

There was a gladsome meeting at the Majestic Monday afternoon, when in wolked one James Murphy, of Kentucky, of the town of Car lisle, where Pat and Jim made it unbearable for the schoolteache thirty five years ago and took their weekly hockey lickings like little thoroughbreds. Murphy's coming had been, irregulaf,y forecasted for a week, but the exact hour was rot known, 50 o;Pat was just little sup prised when Jim walked in and gave him the familiar high sign.
 The two men have been reminis- ing ever since. Some of the old timers along the Great White Way say that is another name for it, but anyhoww, many good boy hood story is being swapped for the hene- fit of the hero worshippers who ire quent the Crow and M'COy amuse- ment emporium. Murphy will remain the week out to witness the Wild West celebration, Saturday and Sunday, befyre proceeding to the coast.

Committee Report

Committee Report
 The Committee appointed by the recent mass meeting to investigate the financial and other condition of the City of Williams, beg to sub- init the following findings and re- concentrations
 The average cost to run the city based on the figures for the last three years was found to be ap- proximately $6477.15.
 Each year, however, shows an approximate increase over the pre- ceeeding year of about 5000, which would bring the cost for the year 1913 to about $7, ,5OOOO.
 The average regular income re- ceived from sources other than pro- perty tax was found to be approxi- mately $5, 10000.
 Should the expenditures run as high as $7, ,5OOO0 for the year 1913, and the income only reach$5, 10000, it would be necessary to raise $2,- 30O.00 by property tax, which would require a levy of 4 mills this 4 mills would bring in about $3, 10000, leaving a surplus of $1,1OO.O0 for emergency use this surplus the Committee recommend should be used for street improve ment.
 The expenditures for the year 1912 we find were divided as fol- lows - Clerk, $46925 council, s843 Is; police, $1 ,O91. .OO; fire dept, $471.5O; jail, $7.55; streets, s3,- 512.OO; health dept, $63.33; police judge, 5000. Total, $6, 6,467.74.
 In 1912 $405.00 was expended for a hose cart, $50 co for wat f. hy- drants carried over from 1911, and $l76.00 for dirt purchased which was put on the streets. These amounts brought the total above the usual average
 For the year 1913 up to July 1st the expenditures are as follows :- Clerk, $303 50; council, $975.78 ; police, S6l630; fire dept, S217.25; street, $1,721 50; health dept, 5000. Street, light and water are included in the street expenditures.
 The Committee recommend the following =
 The present license tax be kept at it's present figure; property tax levy of 4 mills be made, 2 mills of which shall be used S~for street improvement, 2 mills be applied to the general fund. These two funds to be kept separate.
 It is also recommended that two concrete cross walks be put in each year, and more if funds are avail able. One block be covered with 8 inches of cinders, preferably on 4th street between Bill Williams avenue and Grant street. This street is named for the reason, in wet weather and in winter, it is one of the poorest streets in the city. and a cinder dressing would dem onstrate the advisability of using this material in making nearly per manent and first class streets.
 It is further recommended:-
 That the street supervisor shall make written monthly reports ot street work location, cost of labor and material for same, and record of same be kept on file for future reference.
 It is further recommended:-
 That each Councilman be assign. ei by the Mayor a certain district not, however, the district in which the councilman resides, it being the councilman's duty to at least once

THE CHIEF CHARACTERISTIC
OF A>SUCCESSFUL MAN is FAITH

In an interesting article entitled
Thought as a Force in Daily Living
Ralph Waldo Urine, writing in the
November Woman's Home Companion,
describes, as follows, the chief eharac-
teristic of successful people:
Successful men and women are al
most invariably those possessing to a
supreme degree the element of faith.
Faith, absolute, uncOnquerable faith, is
one of the essential concomitants,
therefore one of the great secrets Of
success. We must realize, and espe-
cially valuable is it for young men
and women to realize, that one carries
his success or his failure with him,
that it does not depend upon outside
conditions. There are some that no
circumstances or combinations of cir
cumstances a thwart to keep down.
Let circumstance seem to thwart or
circumvent them in one direction, and
almost instantly they are going for
ward along another direction. Cir
cUmstance is kept busy keeping up
with them. When she meets such,
after a fewstrails, she apparently de-
cides' to give up and turn her atte1-
ton to those of the less positive, the
less forceful, therefore the less de-
termined, types of mind and of life.
Circumstance has received some hard
knocks from men and women of this
type. She has grown naturally timid
and will always back down wheneve"
she recognizes a mind, and therefore
a life, of sufficient force.
"To make the best of whatever pres
ent conditions are, to form and clearly
to see ones ideal, though it may seem
far distant and almost impossible, to
i b>iieve in it, and to halieve in ones
ability to actuate it-this is the first
essential. .Nets then, to sit and idly
fold the hands, expecting it to actuat2
itself. but to- take. hold of the first
thing that offers itself to do;;-that lies
sufficiently along the ay,-to do this
faithfully, b~eiisyyipg, knowing, that !
is but the step thai. will lead to the
, next. best thing, :aad:thts= to the next
this is the second and the completing
stage of all accomplishment"

FERTILITY THAT'S LOST.

Fertility is not only lost by being
taken out by the crops. 1t is lost in
several other ways, One is by drain
age. If the soil is given to surface
washing, much of the fertility will be
lost, leaving only the undesirable
elements behind. The loss of fertility
by drainage, for, without drainage, he
c0uId not grow his crop at all. Sur
iace washings, however, can be pre-
vented, to a large extent, by blowing
a little deeper and running crosswlse
Of the slope instead of lengthwise.
Another means of losing fertility is
the lack of rotation of the crops. i.
was found that by growing wheat on
the same land continually for a period
of ten years it cost a farmer a loss of
two thousand pounds of nitrogen alone
Ger acre, outside of what was aiken
out in the crop. The loss was divid-
ed between the too rapid decay of the
humus and loss, in drainage. Fifty
acres grown year after year for TWEEN
ty years would mean a loss of ov2r
$50, 900 worth of nitrogen alone.
Where corn is grown the loss is not
nearly so great. The probable reason
for this is that the corn shades the
ground and prevents the too rapid de-
cay IF the humus; while, after the
harvest, the wheat-stubble fields are
left exposed to the hot rays Of the
sun. It has been found that a rota-
ton of grass and IN application Of
manure will overcome the loss.
Where a rotation of wheat, oats,
| corn and clover is practised the soil IS
found to be just as rich in nitrogen
! as when first used for the wheat. The
j rotation kept the soil rich in nitrogen
and, in addition, gave the farmer the
returns from the crops grown. He
! had his profits and his land was still
as good as ever.
The most common method Of return
ing the lost fertility to the soil is the
a~pplication of b~arn-yard manure
Some of us. realize the value of the
manure on soils and use it in the right
way, but there are still some of the
"oId school hat leave their manure
out to be exposed to all tanner O
weather and the rays of the sun. Wher
they. get ready to-put it back on the
land it is almost worthless.-Farn

Hendersonville is about to receive
