SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. IA
RETENTION OF MIR. FORRER

IN ERSISTENT rumorS Oh the lnten-
r tion of the Superintendent OF
L Parks and City Property to dis
pense with the services of v
Grant Forrer, who has been the execu-
tive head of the old Park Board, con-
tinue to be discussed in municipal
circles. 1t Is reported that Superin-
tendent Taylor has decided to give
his personal attention to the parks and
Fairgrounds and as consequence be-
iieves it Is unnecessary to retain Mr..
Forrer.
Perhaps the most striking develop
ment of the matter has been COM
munication sent by the old Park
Board in it's advisory capacity, urging
Superintendent Taylor to maintain the
present organization for the good of
the service. 1t is pointed out that
with the important work still to be
done the experience of Mr. Forrer and
Mr.. Hoffert, the engineer of the old
commission, would be extremely valu-
able.
Those who are urging the retention
of Mr.. Forrer contend that in the
years that he has given to the building
up of the park system he has attain
ed a knowledge of the needs and
conditions which make q continuance
of his service desirable.
1t is a high compliment for Mr.
Forrer that the Board of Park Com
missioners, with which he has been so
long associated, has joined in this
strong recommendation for his reten-
ton. They know his worth and it
was their duty to submit to Superin-
tendent Taylor the facts in the case.
If in the further consideration of the
reorganization of his force, Mr.. Tay-
ior can see his way clear to the con-
tinuance of Mr.. Forrer's services, it
would seem to be the part of wisdom
to do so.
Economy in the administration OF
the park system is desirable and neces-
sary, but we do not believe that the
people of the city expect Superinten-
dent Taylor or any other head of a
department to cripple his work in or
der to save to the city the cost of the
new city commission, which was inn
posed on Harrisburg by the Legisla-
ture.

MONTHLY PENSION PAYMENTS

a n aged pensioner Of the United
~ States government was found in
4 4 his shanty home the other day
by Harrisburg authorities. He
was without the necessities of life and
suffering because he had not been able
to make his way to the office of the
alderman to whom he entrusted the
care of his quarterly pension fund,
and upon whom he was accustomed to
draw as he needed money. He was
afraid to keep it with him at home
lest some of his none too scrupulous
neighbors take it from him.
There is now in Congress bill max
ing it mandatory on the part of the
government to pay its pensioners once
every month instead of four times a
year.
There are many old soldiers not so
thoughtful of the end of the quarter
as was this old man, who trusted his
little all to the honesty of a friend.
Not all of them would fare as well as
he If they followed his example. In
loo hIahy Sdooo Pi SooiiiS Heooo VI ue-
sires of the moment offer strong temp
tation to spend the whole quarterly
stipend in a few days following pay
ment. Then comes lack of funds and
want until next pay day.
Certainly, if semimonthly pay for
the railroad and other employees in the
State was so desirable that the Legis-
lature thought it necessary to pass d
law requiring it, Congress is on the
right track in dividing up the pay
ments to pensioners in twelve monthly
instalments instead of four a year un-
der the present arrangement.

Take it from one who knows, my

Here were two men who started out
in life with bright prospects and ex-
ceptional talents. 1t requires talent
of no mean order to be counter
feiter, by the way, to say nothing OF
cunning and courage. They gave up
everything In the hope of getting rich
quick. They failed and went to
prison. Reckoning all as lost they
made no further effort to get back
their lost respectability. They con-
tinued the outlaw life of the man who
tries to live at the expense OF society.
At the end they decide that which
they should have known at the be-
ginning-"take it from one who
knows, there is nothing in the game" !"

UNFAIR TAXATION

a LII of us use the postal service;
N even the humblest and poorest.
4 4 But not nearly all of us find it
necessary to have a telephone
in the house or even to use one fre-
quently. 1t is hardly fair, therefore,
to argue that because the government
controls the carrying of the mails that
it should have charge of the tele-
graph and telephone. The cases are
not analogous.
The postal service never has paid
its own way. Since all of us use 1t,
it is not unfair to make up the def
cheney out of the general revenues.
But 1t would be scarcely fair to tax
all of us for the benefit of the num-
ber who find the telephone a neces-
sary addition to household or business
activities, for doubtless the deficits of
the Post Office Department would be
increased by the addition of a new
branch

WINTER OATS
IN The SOUTH
United States Department OF AericuI
turc Recommends Raising 0wt
Winter Feed in the South; snr
gests Varieties.

CFroin the Bulletin OF The United
States Department OF Agriculture)
Every southern farmer should
grow enough oats to feed his work
stock at least a portion Of the year.
In addition to furnishing feed grain
at less cost than It can be purchased
fan sown oats will prevent the wash
ing of the soil, by which much fer
|tility is. frequently lost There is
|Htill time to SOW winter oats in the
|culf States, though this work should
be done at once Of good results are
to be obtained. According to spec
|ialists Of the Department. Of Agri-
lculture. oats sown in the southern
states during october or the
half Of November may be expectec
to produce at least twice the yield
of grain obtained from spring seed
Ing.
Winter grain may be sown on the
land which produced crop Of cot
ton. corn; or cowpeas the past sum-
mer. If the land has not already
been plowed. it will be better to
make the surface soil fine and loose
with the disk or drag harrow than
to delay seeding by plowing now.
Better results are obtained from
Sowing with drill than by seeding
broadcast, though If a drili Is not
available sowing the seed broadcast
on wen prepared land usually re-
suits in a GOOD stand. II the preced
ing crop is well fertilized 100 to
200 pounds Of acid phosphate will be
all that the oats require this fall,
though littf6 nitrate Of soda will
help the fall growth, especially IL
the soil has not already been well
supplied with the growing Of cow
peas or some other legume. A top
dressing of fifty to one hundred
pounds OF nitrate of soda applied
when the growth starts in the
spring will greatly reduce the yield.
The variety OF winter oats most
commonly grown in the south Is the
Red Rustproof. AppIer, Lawson.
Hundred bushel, Bancroft. andt Cook
are seleetions or strains Of Red
Rustproof which are said to be par
ticularIy valuable in some localities.
The Fulghum is promising. new,
variety which natures a week or 10
days earlier than the Red Rustproof
and usually produces as much or
more gIsn. AS the kernels Of the
varieties are large, from two. and a
half to three aid a half bushels
should be sown per acre. The small!
er quantity is sufficient n the seed is
drilled in on well prepared land. but
three bushels or more are needed IL
the seed is sown broadcast late In
the season.
The Winter Turf or Virginia Gray
Us a very hardy variety which is val
liable for pasture or hay production
but whic hdoes not'yield much grain
| in the Southern States as the Red
Rustproof
On account Of the small size of
the kernels only one and one-half
bushels of seed of this variety are
required.
