IF ANY one wished to see the absurd
workings of an absurd law all they had
to do was to go to the court house last
Tuesday and watch the proceedings con-
nected with drawing jury for the April
term of court. This was the first jury
selected under the commissioner act and
in addition to the Sheriff and Judge
there sat Commissioner Shedaker The
latter serves at a very serious disadvan-
tage. His eyesight is so far gone that
he has to have the services of friend to
conduct him from place to places he
practically amounts to nothing on the
work of jury drawing. This is not to
his discredit, he is to be pitied; but it
shows the entire working of drawing
! juries is practically in the hands of
Sheriff Jordan as heretofore. There is a.
list of men qualified for jury duty pre-
scented to the court, signed by the Sheriff
and Commissioner, and the latter makes
a perfectly legible signature when The
place for him to put his name is given
him. In the drawing Mr.. Shedaker took
the metal discs from the box, handed
them to the Sheriff, and the latter called
the number and told what name was
opposite on the written list. All of this.
however is the result of misfortune and
is alluded to only to show condition
The absurdity of the law comes in when
one scans the list of those drawn. Take
the grand jury first. When the selection
was left entirely to the Sheriff that Off
cial had the privilege of getting from
the various parts of the county those
whom he considered well qualified for
the position, and it has been long time
since any Sheriff in this county has
abused that privilege. Now he must
select the names by lot, having no choice
beyond seeing that good names are put
ON the list. Take the grand jury drawn
on Tuesday and it will be seen that IA of
the IS townships furnish the grand jury.
OF the "a men Beverly city and town
gives three, Lumberton sends two,
Northampton two, Palmyra two, and
the balance come from Springfield,
Chesterfield, Burlington, Evesham and
Riverside. And under the present svs-
tenn there is nothing to prevent two or
three townships from furnishing all the
jurors. Another thing that does not
appear to be right is that the personnel
of the grand jury is made known two
weeks before court convenes. On the
petit list eight of the sixty drawn come
from Beverly city and township, SO that
those two places furnish IA of the 81
men selected for jury duty. Under the
old system, whereby the presiding Judge |
might use his discretion, the list was
more evenly distributed. OF the 60 who |
will be called to serve as petit jurors, 10
are farmers and there will probably be I
some petitions to be excused as the busy
season for farmers is close at hand.
While there may have been necessity
for making change in the system of

SeasonabIe Farm Notes of Interest
MANY OF MOST VALUABLE
BULLS ARE OFTEN VICIOUS
Gentle Animal 10 Just as Likely as
Not to Prove Dangerous
Left U~nguarded.

The most prepotent and therefore
the most valuable bulls that have ever
been known to the dairy world nave
been more or less vicious. says him-
balls Dairy Farmer. Many OF them
have been sacrificed before their real
worth had become known because they
were vicious. Their slaughter was the
result of admission that the human
mind was incapable of coping with the
trickery of the brute. Nevertheless
II is seldom indeed that men are ever
killed or even injured by vicious bulls.
The knowledge that a bull Is vicious
places the attendant on guard, for only
a fool would give a bull al opportunity
to corner him.
If it Is necessary to take such an
animal from his stall or paddock a
bull staff Is used, or n man on each
side with a rope snapped In the ring
manages the bull. Whatever method
is employed In caring for and secur-
ing service from a vicious bull, eau
ton prohibits Gcci1 3nts. The handling
Of such a bull may not prove altogeth-
err pleasant. but il Is a fact that does
not admit of argument that a man of
strong mind and muscle ssume much
less risk in handling the vicious bull
than he does handling the gentle bull.
Just why men will day after day
place themselves at the mercy of a
gentle bull passes all understanding.
Certainly it is not necessary and dem
onstrates nothing more or less than
poor judgment for two reasons First,
death; secondly. as a token Of respect
to the injured or dead regardless
of the bulls value as a progenitor OF
great offspring he must be sacrificed
and slaughtered. This represents ma
licious ~carelessness and sinful sacri-
flee. The lesson to be learned from
the thousands of accidents and hun
dreds of deaths oceasioned by bulls
are as follows: Honor the vicious bull
because his ~viciousness is one very
good indication Of prepotent power.
Handle all bulls at all times as though
they were vicious, because no bull
ever lived a natural lifetime without
having vicious moments. This Is true
of all animals, including man. Bull
STATS are SO cheap and easy to use
that 10 man is justified in permitting
his gentle bull to make necessary the
services of the doctor or undertaken.

MERCHANTS COOPERATE
IN BOOMING HOME TRADE
You Should by All Means Enlist Ae-
lively to Encourage Campaign
Of Local Paper.

1t auses the heart of every mer-
chant to warm responsibility when be
notes the words "Patronize Your Home
Merchant In his local paper. and he
feels like fiinging the motto athwart
the sky in words of colossal size.
He fully concurs with the sentiments
when the paper explains that local
merchants who are p~atronized by the
citizens respond to this encouraging
treatment. and under the cheering
stimulus they develop their stores, en-
large and modernize them and carry
more varied stocks and better grades
Of goods.
When the paper states that property
values are raised. improvements in
augurated and local prosperity pro-
noted by home trading the merchants
applause amounts to an encore. and
the statement could not be repeated
too much to please him.
Blu some merchants, while heartily
subscribing to the above policy, wab.
BILE most ~distressingly when it comes
to personal application.
They purchase their family supplies
and household goods Of city wholesal-
ers, they have their printing lone in
a large town, and they explain that
they believe 1t is a waste of good
money to advertise in the pages of the
local paper.
The creating of a strong local pa
triotism Is most desirable from the
standpoint of the dealer. and he should
spare no effort to foster such a praise
worthy frame of mind in as many citi.
zens as possible. But he should begin
this commendable work by setting a
good example and obtain as many i'm
itatOrs as possible.
He should by all means enlist the
active cooperation Of his local paper
by advertising literally, and then he
should encourage the editor TO bear
down hard and at frequent intervals
on the subject of home dealing. He
will find the editor nightly interested
to help the merchants If the merchants
are interested to help the editor, and
he will also find that he can talk with
better grace, more ~forcefully and more
successfully If he himself is taking the
medicine which he is prescribing for
his townspeople.-Implement Age.

ELECTRICITY AND PLANTS.
Experiments Show That Strong Cur
rents May Help Along Growth.


Nearly a century ago efforts were
made 10 test the effect Of electricity
upon the growth of plants, and, Willie
the experiments were necessarily linn
tied in scope at that early date In the
development Of electrical science. the
results seemed to show that vegetable
growth was considerably benefited by
currents of electricity made to pass
through the soil when the plants were
growing. Electricity at that time was
generated by means OF chemically oper-
ated electrical batteries, and only com
pa~ratively weak currents were obtain
able at q high cost.
Recent experiments have had the ad-
vantage of strong electrical currents
obtained at small cost. and. while IL Is
too early to speculate upon what cleo
tricity may accomplish for gardeners
and farmers In promoting growth, the
possibility of help from this source can
be looked forward TO. An apparent
gain of 80 per cent was made in straw
berries, II per cent In c~ucumbers, SO
per cent In beets. and there was n
small percentage Of gain In the sugar
obtained from the beets. Grain gained
from 20 to 80 per cent The electricity
in this ease was conveyed to the plants
through small copper wires, placed
closely about n foot above the
ground.

for the coast"
AS the afternoon train neared its ter
ninal on the coast 0 N passing between
two hills it vas struck by a gust of
wind that lifted 1t clear off the track.
Molly Baxter was ON it and consider
ably bruised. She thought of how Joe,
when he was wounded I'm Pickett's
charge at Gettysburg. got uE and went
on till he was driven back with the
rest by a murdcrous fire. and. pulling
herself together, she forced her way
against what wind there was on the
lee side of a hill facing the ocean 70

of a stone wall, where she wal perfect
ly protected and with her eyes just
above 1t saw OFF OF the biggest storms
that have e visited the Atlantic coast.
She did not have writing materials
With her, for she would not have been
able to use them, but she had a fine
memory and stacked 1t with numerous
details. She saw the waves enyelop
the town below, its shrieking citizens
climb the hills, one ship riding at an
Choir buried by a huge billow and then
lifted over a dock and landed up among
the houses. These and many more
things as terrible she saw and cram
med them all down In the s%torehouse of
her memory.
When she had got enough the problem
was to get back home with 1t. About
dusk the wind went down inland
enough to admit Of a vehicle not be-
Ing blown over, and, hiring a farmer to
take her in his wagon, she reached the
Chronicle office about IL O'clock, where
she found her husband anxiously wait

gave her copy paper and a pencil and
prepared to set up what she wrote.
At 2 O'Clock the next morning she had

~HERE is a town in Florida
that some years ago was the
scene of a rivalry between
two newspapers. The field
was barely large enough for n jour-
nal, the Chronicle, which had occupied
1t ever since Joe B1xter established It
during the last century. When Bax-
ter died his son, Captain Joe, Jr., car
ried it Oh. But the captain had been
in the Confederate army during the
war between the states. and received a
wound that had crippled him for life.
The girl he had left behind him, how
ever, was true to him and married him
in a hospital after the surrender.
Joe was fitted to perform the indoor
work connected with a newspaper. but
was not able to do much getting about
gathering news. Mrs. Joe did a good
deal of that, and, having many friends,
she was kept well posted on the social
news, which is important to any news
D She and Joe managed to keep
the wolf from the door till Philip
Stringer came from New Orleans. look
ed the place over and determined that
there might be room enough for two
papers.
The truth is that the place was be-
ginning to fill up with northern visitors
during the winter, and the more peo-
pie the more chance for a newspaper.
But the special inducement was that
Joe's physical handicap kept him from
getting about to gather in the news,
and Stringer calculated to get ahead of
him in this respect every time. Be-
sides. Springer, having been connected
with a New Orleans paper, believed he
knew better how to cater to city peo-
pie than did Baxter.
So the Gazette was established and.
being the more enterprising of the two
papers, got most of the new subscrib-
ers and advertisers. the old residents
standing by the Chronicle. But the
new was more valuable than the old,
and the former was constantly eating
into the latter till 1t looked as If the
Baxters would soon have to discontin-
ue their paper.
One morning tloiiy DaAtcA, ~"
ing cleaned up the breakfast dishes and
