LeqisIatinq Radium

The government is still busy with its

This might mean an advantage Or
a disadvantage to the miner of radium

a hampered one unless payments for
ores purchased could be received and
paid for promptly without the delays
of red tape so common 10 government
dealings. The average miner is poor
and needs the money.

ridiculous to warrant belief in its agi-

hope to have the support and CO.
operation of the bee keepers of the
county. l am willing to give all the
information and do everything | can
to better cosditions and make bee
keeping a success.
At this season of the year owners
of hives should examine them to see
if the bees are alive or dead. Place
your ear to the hive and then rap on
it little with the hand. If the bees
are alive they will answer you. II
dead they should be gotten out of the
way of the healthy hives to prevent
the spread of Foul Brood The
best time to attend to this is when the
bees are not flying-January and Feb
ruary are the preferred months-and
hope all bee men will get busy with
their bees and attend to all hives prop
erly. If you are not interested to this
extent, you would better sell your bees
for it will be money both to yourself
and your neighbor bee-keepers.
Very respectfully,

tax levy to fit the tax commission S

history within another week when the
window at the county treasurer's Of

With the new levy adjusted to the
raise in valuations made by the state
tax commission and upheld by the
supreme court, it is said that the in
crease in the amount of each mans
taxes will not be very great, possibly
ranging from a few cents to dollar
or two. And then we have the glory
of two million dollar raise in our

but 1t is doubtful II the camera ever
caught one as it eped on its mission of
death. A bullet speeding at the rate
of 1900 feet second. which is more

are invisible to the naked eye.

none. 1t is only objects travelling at a
terrific speed that create any appreci.

Photographs of bullet going at a
rate Of speed less than 1000 feet a
second show no air waves at all. This
is an interesting scientific discovery.
But anything cutting through the air
at greater rate than this disturbs the
atmosphere to such great extent that
air waves are formed and can be pho

There seems to be quite a division
of opinion among the people of the
county in regard to the appointment
of County Agriculturist at the pres
ent time. The advocates of such ap-
pointment point to the good they claim
has been accomplished by such an ap-
pointee in other counties and profess
this county. Those in opposition con
tend that taxes are already too high
and that the appointment would mean
an added amount of cost to the county.
That there are unskilled and inexperi-
enced farmers in every community
is doubtless as true as that there are
unskilled in every profession. 1t is
equally true that there are skilled and
successful farmers in plenty, in each
community. In fact, the farming
community in itself is great school,
offering splendid opportunity for the
requirement of agricultural know

servation, and the thought must

writer once said: Don't tell the edit

much harder for a newspaper man to

than for the man on the farm to learn
how to farm right.

Large newspapers in the East and

within the past five years, and that
other expenses have increased proper

the roads have not been permitted

has cut off the extension of railroad

to eastern shippers from the view
point of a long haul bur it is in no

railroads expect people to make up

NO COMPENSATION FOR SALESMAN WHO WAS ASPHYXIATED
Buckingham Makes Ruling On Important Case, Els
 tablishing Precedent

After very lengthy hearing held in New Haven yesterday, Compensation Commissioner B. T. Buckingham has decided that Elizabeth Reed. of New Haven, widow of Herbert A. Reed, is not entitled to Compensation for his death. The decision is an important one in the fact that the comniSsio oner decides that under the compensation act an employer cannot stand between his eInpIoye and those nishaps to which all humanity is exposed.'
 The deceased was a travelling sales man for Booth & Platt of this city. On March 31 he was accidentally asphyMated by illuminating gas at the Weber house at Mount Vernon, N. Y. His widow sought compensation claim ing that Reed was an agent for Booth & PIatt and had met death while in their employ and in the usual dis charge of his duties Reed sold goods for the concern on a rowing comrnis- sion which gave him permission to sell anyone not already a customer of the firm. He paid his own travelling ex- penses and receive a commission of one-half the difference between the selling price and the cost of the goods, less the shipping cost.
