County Commissions.

In many counties in the state the ques-
ton of having three supervisors and pay
ing them something worth while is be-
ing agitated and in fact in some of the
counties the plan is already in operation.
There are many things to be said in
favor of the proposition and in so far as
the Pilot-Tribune is concerned. it believes
it is the rope, thing to do. If the super
visors can be elected at large. that is from
the county as a whole, it does away with
the district idea which has played such
havoc with good road construction and
bridge construction. At the present time
in this country, the county road money
is to be spent equally in the different dis
tricts. if present plans are carried out.
Each supervisor feels that it is his duty
to take care of his own district and there
is inclination to divide the money up FIVE
ways and spend it in this manner as in
times past irrespective of how to get the
best results. If the supervisors We're elect
surate with the duties which they would
be required to perform. men could be Sc
the county's business in the same man
ner as the other officials do at the present
time and there is the conviction that the
county would be saved much money.

British Radium.
From Tit-Rits

When some time it was discov-
cred that large quantities of pitch
blende, from which radium, which sells
at e75O.O00 an ounce. is extracted,
were to be found near ST. Ives. Corn
wall, a company was promptly formed
which took over the process of extrac-
ton. This company has a little fac
tory at Limehouse. where the final
stages of the extraction take place. al
though the business has grown to such
an extent that new works are to be
erected in h north of London
After the company was formed II
took over the process of extraction
which Sir William Ramsay and his as
sistant, Mr.. Whitehouse, had invented
after long and costly operations. The
first British radium was produced at
the factory. but the fact that it was
not so good as German or French. for
in the early days Of radium manufac-
ture it was only possible to obtain it
from the continent.
The British radium was offered to
British hospitals n institutions. but
they were not to buy. Mean
while Berlin and%E1ankfort bought as
much as they could get, and at the
present time the company referred to
has contracts with these cities for adj
vance deliveries which are capable of
absorbing their output during 1914 and
possibly 1915.
English radium is booming and, ac-
cording to the British Medical Journal,
it may yet be established that England
is the home of the largest radium sup
ply existing. Scientists are of opinion
that rich sources of pitch blende are to
be discovered in Derbyshire and Glou-
cestershire. Meantime the Cornish
mine is one Of the largest sources OF
pitch blende in the world.
In the last report it was stated that
there were in stock on the surface a.

|BlG INCREASE SHOWN
IN WAGES ON FARMS
From the New York Times.

Wv
The money wages of farm labor In
creased about 2.5 per cent during the
last year, and about IL per cent during
the last four years. Since 1902 the In
crease has been about SO per cent.
These estimates are based upon reports
of correspondents of he bureau of sta
~tistics of the department OF agriculture.
Wages of farm labor tended upward
during the decade of the 'IOs: they were
Utmost stationary during the sos. and
declined from 1892 to 1894. since which
time they have steadily tended up
ward. Farm wages now. compared
with wages during the sos. are about
IS per cent higher: compared with the
,ow year of 1894. wages are now about
q per cent higher.
Wages average higher in the far
western states n lowest In the South
Atlantic states. The monthly rate,
without board, is $3.50 in Nevada, $54
n Montana and s5l in Utah; but 1890
n South Carolina. s19.60 in Mississippi
and 5000 in Georgia. The money
wages of farm abor have increased rel
atiVely more than wages for labor IN

IN the 10 years and about SO per cent ir
the 90 years
Although farm wages i'm the United
States increased about 81 per cent from
1900 to 1910. land values nearly doubled
in the sar.a time: Indicating that In
the distribution of the proceeds from

The Number Of Fleshy
People In This
Country Is Decreasing

The popularity OF the physical cui-
ture fad with its accompaniment OF
discussions regarding diet, has doubt
less been responsible for part OF the
steady countrywide decrease In over
weight; also the last few years have
developed several flesh reducers which
have been very important factors In
causing this decrease. Among these
we consider the following one, which
can be made at home with very III
tie trouble, as far the best and II
doubtless costs the least Put four
ounces OF parnotis. which you can get
from your druggist, in IL pints not
water and strain when cool. Take
tablespoonful before meals until
weight is where you want it. No harm
results from the use Of the parnous
treatment, and the flesh IS left solid
and the skin soft and smooth.

From present indications the Bern.
hard barge may not arrive In keokuk
tomorrow. The barge according to
dispatches IN the st. Louis papers IS
scheduled to arrive there tomorrow.
Nothing definite has been heard from
q. Bernhard who In bis last letter he
promised to advise the city o1hcials
and Industrial association headquar-
ters O, the exact time Of arrival. This
leads to the suppositton that tho
barge has been delayed and win not
arrive for couple Of days or more
In the meantime arrangements are
being carried on to meet the strange
craft when she arrives. There has
been some discussion as to whether
the motor boat owners OF tho city
could not be induced to form In 10
tiIIa and proceed the boat from War
saw 10 Keokuk
It has been suggested that the boats
could act as guard OF honor. and
that their whistles and sirens might
shrek q welcome to this barge which
Is on a voyage Of rediscoyery OF the
Mississippi, and which Is expected to
demonstrate once moro the fertile
field Of river navigation.
Another suggestion which has been
made is that some OF the steam
whistles of the city might sound q
welcome to the big craft as It touches
the wharf here. This would be only
a courtesy which would no doubt be
appreciated by the barge people. All
along the river, boats are dipping col
ors and sounding whistles IN salute OF
the Orleans barge
There Is much interest being shown
in the coming Of the boat and it is
more than likely that word viii be
sent ahead from Warsaw and that the
people OF Keoluk will be notified by
bells or Whistles Of the approach Of
