A Question of Numbers.

Herbert Spencer did not agree with
the scientists who favored the metric
system. He said it is artificial and
unsatisfactory, ten being divisible by
only two numbers-tWo and five-and
in one case the result is fifths, which
are practically useless in the everyday
life Of the people. The decimal system
is similarly Objectionable. he contend
ed, because it has an imperfect fourth
and a more imperfect third. both of
which are desirable in ordinary trans
actions. He regarded twelve as one Of
the most favorable numbers, as it is
easily Invisible into groups Of units
for popular use.

In another part of this issue OF the
Times an offer TO contract Garden
Beans for seed for one of the large
eastern seed houses is made to the
farmers in this vicinity.
During the past week this firm,
the John H. Allen Seed Co. OF Che
boygan. Wis. have wired their rep
resentatives here TO make every eff
fort to secure 700 acres for garden
beans and they will pay the highest
prices for such contracts.
In case sufficient acreage is secur.
ed and the crop proves satisfac-
tory one they proposed to establish
picking and cleaning warehouse al
this point permanently.
Such a plant would give consider
able employment during the fall anC
winter TO both men and boys as wei
as 10 girls to run picking machines
This is a matter that should b,

Town Secures Water Right.

Mayor Peters is in receipt of SIT
and a fraction shares OF stock in the
North Side Canal Co.. Ltd. which
is made out in the name OF the Town
OF Jerome. and which represents the
number of acres of land contained in
the townsite. This virtually trans
fers water right TO all the lots in
the town, something we have not en-
joyed until the present time. the
water for irrigation purposes having
heretofore been furnished at the will
OF the company.
At the time the lots were first put
on the market, II was supposed that
a water right went with the pur-
chase. but later this was found not to
be the case. and negotiations were at
once taken up with the company for
the transfer OF this right to the town,
which has finally been consumated
by the act referred to above.
This gives every lot holder in town
the same privileges OF water for irri-
dation purposes that is enjoyed by
the entrymen on the tract. and In
sures perpetual water right to each
individual lot.

The Times was honored on Tues
day by call from Geo. K. Pinto, OF

twenties. and former member OF the
Boston athletic team. He Is totally
deaf. but talks very fuently. and
delivers lectures on his route.

land and Columbus. Ohio. the actual
time on the road being IS hours and
8 minutes. The lapsed time was
four days. He made this entire trip
in a track suit, running or walking
at his pleasure, and lost 10 pounds
in the effort, which he has never re-
gained.

pitch and hairpin turn at the top OF
the present grade. cuts out several
bad pitches on what is now called
the old grade. The total length will
be $500 feet down to the ferry and
the steepest portion will not exceed
eight per cent.
