THE VOTERS RESPONSIBILITY.

The voters of Norwich face an im- portant responsibility next Monday, when the opportunity is offered for the exercise of their right of suffrage in connection with the operation of the city government. the organization in which every resident as well as every taxpayer is so deeply concerned. A businesslike. energetic, fearless and economical administration is what is desired and what should be demanded The city election is the time for in sistence upon such requirements in city affairs. by putting into office men who can be depended upon to achieve such results.
 Norwich is in need of the best ad- nainistration possible and it is en- titled to receive it. It is only what the united citizenship should insist upon above everything. Despite increased tax lists the recommendation for the annual tax upon the property owners continues to move upward, until the patience of the taxpayer is reaching the point of exhaustion. %
 For the purpose of giving the city what is so greatly needed in the way of demanded betterment the republi- cans have named a ticket which will bear the closest scrutiny and the nom fnees cannot fail to arouse the fullest confidence of the voters, irrespective of their party inclinations The ticket has the opportunity through the re- publican party presenting a united front, to carry the election fulfill it's trust and place business first in city affairs. The situation is one which is strengthening daily.

A MARCH MISTAKE

the twilight. John was te come. Now he nearly always came. They were going for another walk across the green hills and back along the road ways in this white moonlight. Elsie thought only of the moment, but she could not help q little throb of glad ness that he so seldom spoke of Rose. She did not as at first, regret the eoelness that had sprung up between her and Rose. Nothing seemed to mat ter but being happy without thinking why. John called her sister" half- jokingly, but with entire affection and while he sometimes wandered off in- consolately by himself, he seemed con- tent to be with her. And so she wait ed. As she waited her 15year- old room.
 Sis! For goodness sake get my good coat from the closet in the hall I'm goin' to be late to that party" Elsie went to the dark closet and emerged with a coat. She knocked at his door.
 ''Oh, come on in and help me with this fool tie! Great snakes! If you haven't got the wrong coat! Just like a girl. Haven't worn that old thing since winter!" He snatched it from her impatiently upside down. A let ter fell from the pocket.
 Elsie picked it up. and as she glanced at the. address her face went White.
 Terry! what is this?"
 At the sound of her voice he turned to look, and then stood stricken with tardy penitence. It was addressed to John Copelang. and in the lower cor ner was inscribed in Roses hand Kindness of Terry" Terry stared and struggled with the refractory tie
 "A pretty mess! Rose gave me that months ago. and I promised to take it straight to John. And like a fool I forgot!' Then he cheered up. Well, they're off anyway now. Probably she'll be glad he never saw it. I will take 1t back to her tomorrow" He wondered at the strange brightness of his sisters eyes, at the extreme white ness of her face.
 Gee! Not even Rose can touch you for looks, Sis! I don't wonder that Johns whistle sounded below she still held the letter.
 T shall give it to John. It is his. I shall tell him you forgot. r."
 Then she went down to John.
 He sat contentedly on the porch with his hat pushed back on his fair head. He looked careless and happy enough. At her approach he rose.
 Ready sister Her smile was odd and she held the letter out to him. She spoke as if she had been running
 John, take this into the parlor and read it. No one is there. I told you there was d InlSJaN6. IL IS to you from Rose. She gave it to Terry and he forgot it. I just found it in the pocket of his winter coat" John did not know he almost snatched it from her hand. When he came back from the parlor lis face was shining.
 'Elsie-you are an angell You have the heart of a sister! You have given her back to me. She did-love me she does! T."
 Elsie smiled and gave him brave little push.
 Well, you silly boy. go to her this minute!"
 He snatched her hand and pressed it hard Then he went from her with an eager swiftness that he had never shown in coming to her. She knew it she had always known it, but, never theless, it was not easy to see. And under her breath she whispered, bravely:

KEEPS ONE IMMUNE FROM COLDS AS

Negligence and indiff erence to the drainage organs (kidneys. liver, bow els, etc) of the human system are the cause of disease. The poisonous worn- out tissues are permitted 10 accumu- late in these organs, thereby prevent ing the organs to resist disease
 The best remedy is to keep the sys- tenn under the influence of BIOPLASM (Bower)-a strictly ethical, non-stim- ulating. poisonous preparation which drives out of the system all disturbing elements and enables the starving nerve cells to receive normal nutrition.
 While under the influence of BIO- PLASM (Bower) one will not take cold Infection can get no hold in the body because the persistent guardians (the white cells of the blood) benumb and destroy the body poisons and compel their elimination through the bowels.
 One physician wrote: ''BiopIasm (Bower) is better than quarantine-in case of scarlet fever in a family of poorly nourished children, the patient and entire family were given BIO- PLASM. The sick one got well and the others remained well-in fact, got in better health. It's the best kind of HEALTH INSURANCE" An occasional week CT ten days BIOPLASM .reat- ment will prevent catching colds
 BIOPLASM (Bowerj has been sold exclusively on doctors prescriptions for many years, However, arrange ments have been made with The Lee OsRood Co. of this city and other reputaole druggists to supply the pub lie direct BIOPLAsM (Bower) is sold In tablet form at $1.o0 per bottle Pleasant to take.

Saving Corn Moisture
Weeds Sap the Most Essential Factor in the
Successful Cultivation of this Valuable Grain
Although killing weeds is what the

Although killing weeds is what the
farmer has uppermost in mind when
blowing corn, it Is a question whether
the greatest good he does is keeping
the corn clean or whether 1t lies In
saving moisture. In the latter there
Is certainly the greatest benefit some
! seasons. On land where weeds are
not bad and during dry seasons, con-
serving moisture becomes the impOr-
tant factor. This, of course, is done by
mulch" over the surface, which acts
like blanket in preventing the evap-
Grafton of moisture.
With plenty Of moisture the impor-
tant consideration is weed killing.
The Missouri farmer has learned that
clean corn usually makes good, and
during an average season, If the
weeds are kept down, reasonable
crop is almost certain.
Methods of Cultivation.
In ordinary seasons the first cultiva-
ton should be narrowing. This is

soil and kills large number of small
weeds. Then it levels the ground
and helps to prevent washing in the
rows. Labor is usually scarce at this
time of year and by using the harrow
three rows are plowed at once.
Following the harrow the cultiva-
tor is used as soon as the plants are
large enough. Shs first blowing is
the most important. 1t should be |
close and thorough. and cover practi
cally all weeds. The weeds which
escape this blowing are the ones that
are liable to be bothering throughout
the season.
Ordinarily the plowings should be
about ten days apart, and as the
plants grow larger, the plow should
be run shallower and further from
the rows. There are few roots to be
damaged the first cultivation, but aft

the rows he farmer cannot expect

experienced bee keeper is not to see
how many colonies he can get, but
to see how many bees he can keep
working together in each colony; or
in other words, to eliminate swarming

each colony is given plenty Of room
for storing honey and is given shade
and ventilation in the hot summer
then the swarms that do come off
will be large and will be able to take
care of themselves the next winter.
Such swarms are worth caring for.
A trouble commonly met with when
sections are being used for the first
time Is having the combs built cross
ways in them. The writer has heard
old bee-keepers condemn improved
hives because of this trouble. II the
bees are left to decide for themselves
they are sure to put the combs in

of the bee-keeper is to start the comb

some wet seasons when weeds are
bad the wise policy If often to "a
after the weeds regardless Of the
corn roots. But if the weeds can be
handled, shallow cultivation Is al.
ways to be recommended after the
first. 1t not only does less damage
to the roots, but 1t is more efficient
in conserving moisture.
At the Missouri Experiment Sta
ton an experiment was conducted to
determine the relative value Of deep
and shallow cultivation. In this case
the shallow plowed corn yielded 1879
bushels more per acre than that deep
plowed. During the same experiment
the amount of moisture in the soil
was determined every week for eleven
weeks. - 1t was found that the
plot receiving the shallow cultivation
had an average of 11.6 per cent. more
moisture than the deep cultivated
plot.
This experiment and others have
demonstrated that practically every
season there is an abundance of
moisture in the soil to mature corn
crop. But ordinarily large amount
of this is evaporated and some is
used by weeds, so that if the latter
part of the season is dry the crop
suffers. In such a season the methods
OF tillage adopted should be those
that will allow the least waste OF
moisture.
The number Of civilizations to be
given ranges from three to six, de
