Another garden contest this
year means another solar plexus
blow for local high cost of living.

Just now the pests who wish
to have inserted long political
diatribes under the guise of read
ing matter are getting numerous.
Another annoyance is found in
the columns upon top of columns
ofreading notices sent out by
the press bureaus of different
candidates boosting their claims
to office.
It has always been our GUS
tom to hold reading notices sent
out to further the interests of
any private individual or bust
ness firm as advertising pure and
simple and to publish them at
only the regular rates. More and
more weekly newspapers over
the State are following this
example, which was set by the
daily papers years ago, and times
must be getting pretty tight for
the fellows who make their living
by getting newspaper adver-
Using for nothing.
We are glad to get business,
however, and all who desire the
publication of matter they think
will further party or private in
terests, are cordially invited to
bring or send such articles &C.
companied by one cent for each
word per insertion.

Intercession

lntercession is little understood
and yet there is no sphere in
which the soul that knows God
can more effectively help and
oleSs others. st. Paul knew
power of lntercession when he
said; Brethren, pray for US. I"
He did not think that God need
ed persuading by someone else
to be good to him, but he did
know that loving, sympathising,
healing thoughts, projected like
wireless telegraphy vibrations
from united God inhabited hearts,
we're the lite of God in man
reaching forth to quicken and
stimulate and support brother
man. | have experienced it my
self, ! have been upheld in ply
steal and mental weakness by a
stream of kindly sympathy from
God inhabited hearts, radiating
divine, creative energy. To
help thus given, one can only
reply in the beautiful words of
an American divine.
Beneath the shelter which
your prayers have reared,
Quiet and blest,
The storm which struck me
down no longer feared,
Secure | rest.

Prayer

Lord. what a change within us
one short hour
Spent in Thy presence will avail
to make.
What burdens tighten, what
temptations slake,
What parched ground refresh as
with a shower.
We kneel, and all round us seems
to lower;
We rise, and all be distant and
Stand forth in sunny outline
brave and clear.
We kneel--- how weak. we RISE
how full of power.
Why, therefore, should we do
ourselves this wrong,
Or others, that we are not al
ways strong?
That we are ever overborne with
care?
That we should ever weak or
needless be?
Anxious or troubled?
And joy and strength and cour-
age are with Thee.
Archbishop Trench.
Prayer is speaking, but it rs
also listening, and the latter is
the more valuable part. And in
these moments of stiffness you
must put yourself distinctly and
consciously into the attitude of
re'eptivity. You are not seek
ing, but waiting to be sought.
So gradually, as you learn to be
still (for it may be long before
you can shut out the world, long
before you can strip yourself of
all pretense and selfshness and
of soul. long be-
fore you can lift off thought af
ter thought until you reach the
inmost depth of all, it will be
strange if no touch is felt. if YOU
do net feel the Presence of
Something, of One who is more
real than you are, and that is
when God comes to you. That is
all it is, but that is Sc sure re-
suit. $50 down deep into your
own nature, and wait patiently
there for God, and he will
reveal himself, not so much to
you as in you, and you will have
found God. But whether you
nave found him or he found you.
you will not know yet. And
hen the life that is hid with
iod in Christ is just the develop
nent of this quiet intercourse in
'our inmost being. 1t is your
living at the center, which pre-
'ents no outward activity what
'ver but only underies and
strengthens all you do.

 At 4.s0, which is the usual time for the adjournment of court, the jury came in and through it's foreman, Jo-t seph B. Blakeslee. reported that it had not been able to agree upona verdict. Judge William l.. Bennett told them that he thought this was a case in which they ought to reach a verdict and said he would excuse them until 10 o'clock Thursday morning, when attempt to reach verdict. He eau toned them about discussing the case with others than members of the jury or allowing 1t to be discussed in their presence.
 When the court came in at 10 o'clock in the morning Michael F. Shea of New London. who was passenger in the Weimer jitney on last Labor day, when it struck and caused the fatal injuries to Henry A. Hall, the old colored congressman, on West Main street, was put on the witness stand. He was sitting on one of the front doors of the automobile. and he told what he saw of the accident.
 After his cross examination, Attor- ney c. Curtis Morgan, for the defense, rested his case, and State Attorney Hull recalled to the stand William F. Rogue, of whom he inquired how soon a Ford car going six miles an hour could be stopped. The witness said that on level ground 1t could be stop ped within half its length. The wit ness said he had never seen car rig ged with a chain, as Weimer had de- scribed his car, so that it could be operated by a man with one foot, but he understood how 1t could be done. He thought it would be impossible for the operator to have the same foot on two different levers at the same time.
 Both sides rested at Il o'clock and Attorney John D. Hall, who has been assisting Mir. Hull, made the opening

Careless Use of
 Soap Spoils the Hair


 goap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking ita best. Most soaps and prepared stlampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsifed eocoanut oil (which ia pure and sreaseless6 and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply mGiafen the hair with water and rub Eft in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt. dandru6 and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fins and silky, bright, Iustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get muisifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. Its,very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months.
