Two Americans have devised a
scheme to raise the waters of the
Niagara 100 feet down below the falls
and develop 100000 horse power.
They estimate the cost to be $780,
100000. That shows what a little
Niagara will cost and indicates that
the real Niagara is worth about twice
that enormous sum.

Political Advertising.

The Bellows Falls Times publishes
under the heading, Political Adver-
tising." a very interesting editorial in
which it pictures the old method of
candidate sitting down with an
editor and cajoling him into writing
an editorial advertising in the most
laudatory terms the virtues of the
candidate and the nice things he
wishes said about himself. The can
didate then orders 500 copies Of the
paper to be sent to a selected list of
people.
The Times further says:
The new way is through political
advertising, and is the natural ac-
compartment of the direct primary
The candidate or his friends say
what they choose, make all the claims
they care to over their own sigma
lures and under the tag, Political
Advertising" There is no gum
shOeing, no deceiving the reader.
Everything is above board. The
reader knows exactly who is talking,
and the editorial columns of the pa
per are free from bias or warps.
The new way is the best,-best for
reader, publisher and candidate. 1t
is the only honest way. If it is not
established on a permanent founda-
ton in every newspaper Office in Yer
mont before the present campaign
ends, publishers have only themselves
to blame.
We agree fully with the Times
nn ie -
newspaper owes a political aspirant
a lot of free advertising. 1t costs to
print columns of matter concerning
any man, and if any man wants more
he should pay the paper for doing it.
There is another tremendous ad-
vantage in the new method, and that
is the freeing of the editorial column
from the influence of the surreptitious
dollar. Any newspaper that will
put it's political advertising on an
equal basis to all candidates can en-
dorse it's honest choice for political
honors with greatly increased effec-
tiveness. 1t will have more weight
with the public because the readers
do not smell the other mans money
in it. The editor courageous enough
to make politicians pay for their ad-
vertising has character enough to
speak for his choice in a convincing
manner. We hope all Vermont
newspapers will make the man who
vyo M 70 a1 III
and pay for it, and reserve for their
editorial work all the strength of
purity and honesty.

Think of it-home ginned cot ton selling on the streets of Brinkley at nearly 19 cents per pounds in regular market with Brinkley merchants bidding on it in open competition. That's not a dream, its an actual occur ance. and it's coming daily now, if the grade of cotton is up.
 Think again Farmers hauling their cotton to Brinkley gins and going back home thoroughly sat- isfed and happy at the way it is ginned and the prices they get for their seed.
 The old joke about cotton in the Clarendon, Holly Grove, and Moro territory being of a better grade than Brinkley cotton and entitled to a higher grading is being exploded by the progress

 Seed has advanced nearly every day. Independent buyers pulled the market this morning, forcing the price about $40 and Browns New Gin had q bulletin posted $42 for seed this morning. This gin had a slight break down but expects to be running to- night and will pay $42.

 Prohibition

The Executive Committee of Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, at a meeting to be held in Little Rock next Tuesday. may vote to seek an injuction prohibiting the placing on the ballots for the November election the question of the adoption of the bill in- itiated to repeal the state wide prohibition law.

 The reports, sent to George Thornburg, acting state super intendent of the league, alledgal that 706 of the 1, 226 on the Phill- ips county petitions were illegal; that I63 of the 4O7 on the Saline county petitions were not entitled to sign; that 3, 127 of the 5,9O5 on the Pulaski county petitions were illegal; that 29 of the 57 in Hampstead county, 337 of 787 in Jefferson county and a similar proportion in many other counties were illegal.
 The petitions filed with the secretary of the state bear more than IT. 1000 signers. Prohibition leaders say by the end of the week they will have reports showing that more than 1000 of these were not entitled to sign. Approximately 10,500 are re- quired to initiate the petition. z Wednesdays Little Rock Gazette.

MAKING CATSUP.

Making catsup is quite an art, but i
directions are followed one need not
fail.
In getting tomatoes for catsup be
sure they are of the red variety, solid
meated and thoroughly ripe. Defec-
tive and half-ripened vegetables are
not dependable. Wash we'll and cut
out all soft and unripe spots. Use an
aluminium kettle, but failing that, a
good enamled or porcelain-lined pre-
serving kettle: never use iron or
broken granite ware. Catsup must be
made quickly; long cooking darkens
the product. Use whole spices when
ever possible, save, OF course, cayenne.
which should be ground.
1t is not necessary 10 remove the
skins. Put in a kettle without water
and boil until thoroughly soft. Mash
through a fine sieve until only seeds
and skins remain. To each gallon OF
this liquid add three level tablespoon
fuls of salt and one-quarter table
spoonful of red pepper. Place in the
kettle and suspend in il little flannel
bag containing for each gallon two
level tablespoonfuls of whole allspice,
four level tablespoonfuls OF un-
ground white or yellow mustard seed.
one level tablespoonful OF whole
cloves, two level tablespoonfuls of un-
ground celery seed, one ounce OF stick
cinnamon, three ounces of green gin
ger root that has been cleaned ana
scraped. Now drop in two large whole
onions. Bring TO a boil, stirring fire.
quently to prevent scorching, ami boil
until the mixture begins 10 thioken.
Add one pint of vinegar and three lev
el tablespoonfuls. of sugar. Continue
boiling until mixture becomes so thick
that when a teaspoonful is removed
and place in saucer no water Will
run from it. Remove the onions ami
spice bag, put the catsup in jars o.
bottles, sterilized in boiling water
and seal or cork while hot. If kept
corked catsup made by this recipe
will keep indefinitely.
