Will TEST WAGES RY LAW

Boston, Mass.-At the hearing before
Supreme Court Judge DeCourcy to
compel laundry proprietors to produce
books to prove they are paying the
minimum wage, attorneys for the de
tense announced they would test the
legality Of the law creating the State
Minimum Wage Commission. Judge
DeCourcy suggested that this point be
waived Tor the present, as the United

the Oregon Minimum wage law.
Under the Massachusetts, act the de-

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Mount Holly
Household

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed-to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders,
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. The following advice of one
who has suffered will prove helpful to
hundreds of Mount Holly readers.
Frank L. Hates, proprietor OF repair
shop, who lives at 2S Bispham street,
Mount Holly, gave the following state
ment on February 6, 1914: II use Doan's
Kidney Pills occasionally whenever my
kidneys give me any trouble, and 1t
only requires few doses to give me re-
lief"
On October 2, 1916, Mr.. Kates said:
"Doan's Kidney Pills have made last
ing cure in my case and l am pleased to
confirm my former endorsement.
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mr..
Hates has twice publicly recommended.

are the workers that create wealth for
the human race. BY their efforts per-
sons are fed and supported. 1t is of
obvious importance, therefore, that one
should know which of them are the
most efficient and capable, producing
the largest output, in terms of value,
for the least expenditure.
1t appears from Professor Strakosch's
figures that the most efficient Of all
economic plants is the Jerusalem arti-
choke. This valued vegetable produces
on an acre Of good land about 7,127
pounds of starch and other digestible
substances. 1t takes from the soil In
cidentally $26 worth of material But
the difference between consumption
and production, in terms of value, Is
SIG.
One might imagine that the potato
would be away up at the head of the
list, but 1t is not so. The beet comes
next with an output of 1884 pounds
of digestible substances to the acre,
taking $41 worth of material out Of
the soil and yielding a clear balance
Of SIP. Third in order is corn, which
produces 1862 pounds Of digestible
substances, consuming SIT worth of
material and giving a balance on the
credit side Of $10S for the acre.
These are the three most efficient
economic plants, the best workers for
man. The potato is fourth on the list.
Taking 81 worth of material out of
the soil for each acre planted, it yields
4,440 pounds of digestible substances
(nearly all starch) and shows a bal
ance of $72 on the credit side. Rice
gives 2,254 pounds, taking $5 worth
from the land, and allows q balance of
$45.
Peas produce 1884 pounds, drawing
on the bank to the extent Of 81, and
give the farmer a clear $40 to the
acre. Carrots yield 4,19S pounds, with
an expenditure of SIT worth of plant
food, and show a margin of $61 to the
good. Rye affords an output Of 1924
pounds Of nutrients at cost of $40 to
the soil and furnishes a profit of $26.
A crop Of crimson clover withdraws
from the land hardly more than one
twentieth Of the quantity Of valuable
material consumed by timothy.
The greatest of all starch producers
is the Jerusalem artichoke, which in
this respect is away ahead of the po-
tato. For each acre of land 1t yields
a greater quantity of nutrients than
the potato by considerably more than
One-third The beet comes next to the
artichoke as starch producer, then
the potato and next in order Indian
corn.

Scientific

ECONOMY OF PLANTS.
A Study Of Their Comparative VaIu

A Study Of Their Comparative Value
and Cost.
Some interesting statistics have been
gathered by Professor Strakosch Of
Vienna as the result Of his exhaustive
study Of plants from a new point Of
view. Taking those species which are
Of economic mportance-that is, the
vegetables, cereals, ETC., which are Of
value to the human race-Professor
Strakosch has assembled them In his
agricultural laboratory and determined
with definite accuracy their efficiency
as workers for man.
In other words, he has considered
them as If they were so many workers
of the farm, ascertaining by series
of painstaking experiments just how
much each one costs for its keep and
how much 1t produces. The object In
each case has been to ascertain how
much In value 1t takes from the soil
in order to accomplish the result.
This learned, It is easy enough to
strike a balance and to determine the
amount of clear profit.

cHINCH BUG IN 1917.
This Pest 10 Threatsnins Next Year

This Pest 10 Threatsnins Next Years
Crops.
Judging from the numerous colil-
plants being received, 1t seems evident
that chinch bugs are threatening next
years crops.
They seem to be most abundant In
the central part Of Missouri. Through
out most of the corn and wheat belts
of the state there are probably enough
bugs to cause severe outbreaks next
year If weather conditions should be
especially favorable for them. A dry
fall and mild winter, with little snow
and rain, followed by dry spring aud
summer, are the conditions which will
favor the pest.
Since it is not possible to know what
the coming winter and spring may have
In store in the way Of favorable or
unfavorable weather every farmer
should do everything possible to reduce
the chance of chinch bug injuries next
summer by getting rid of favorable
winter quarters. Chinch bugs winter
In dry, protected places meadows,
pastures and waste land, in woods,
neglected fence rows and similar
places. Very few winter in cornfields
or in wheatfields. After killing frosts
have come select dry day, when
there Is not too much wind, and burn
over fields, woods and other favorable
winter quarters. The heat will kill
many of the bugs and expose the rest
to the winter and to natural enemies.
This pest can be fought successfully
only twice during the year-name-
ly, while clustered in winter quarters
and while migrating from wheat to
corn in the summer.-Missouri Station.

AMERICAN CAMERA MEN.
Always on the Alert to Anticipate
Events of the News.

Events of the News.
1t is safe to say that American cam
era men lead the world In alertness
and enterprise and In that Elusive tai
ent known as news sense" The news
photographer Is expected to anticipate
the news. He must look far ahead,
calculate future news values and sup
ply photographs which events months
later may render valuable. Long be-
fore the presidential nominations are
made, for instance, he must secure
portrait studies, not only of the prob
able nominees Of every party, but of
possible dark horses. When the names
of the nominees are flashed over the
country the newspapers must have pic
lures ready to publish.
The news of the great naval battle
between the English and German fleets
off the coast of Jutland came absolute
ly without warning, but nevertheless
the American papers were able to pub
lish within the hour photographs of the
vessels engaged. The photographs had
been collected months, even years, be-
fore in all parts of the world and kept
against a possible time of need In thou
sands of newspaper offices. Even the
unexpected death of the president of
China did not catch the American pa
pers mapping, and the cabled announce
ment of his death was illustrated with
his portrait and that of his successor
and his cabinet.
All photographs Of news interest with
even a remote chance of having any
future value are carefully preserved
and classified In newspaper offices.
The great dailies have enormous col
lections of such views gathered In all
parts of the world, which are kept In
readiness against time of need. One
firm In New York has a collection,
which is constantly growing, of up
ward of a million such pictures. The
collections contain thousands of por-
traits of people in the public life of
every country In the world. Every city
OF Importance has been photographed,
as well as scenes illustrating every
conceivable human activity which by
any chance may figure in the news
Let some accident occur, some event Of
general interest In the most remote
corner Of the world, battle, storm,
an earthquake, any untoward event,
and by drawing on the inexhaustible
supply of this library the newspapers
will appear on the street an hour or so
later with the actual photographs Of
the scene.-'"The Camera Man." by

Deep-sea pivIno.

yes, sir; 1t seems simple enough to
put on diving dress and go down into
the sea, but can assure you that it is
not quite so easy as it looks" said a
deep-sea diver. ''The farther one goes
down below the water the greater the
pressure, and, consequently, the labor
and exhaustion of working is greater.
You would probably find 20 feet quite
deep enough for your first dive. The
pressure on your head would be so
great that, not being used to it, your
ears and nose might bleed. In diving
the rate of ascent is important. If
the diver is less than 80 feet below
the surface he can be pulled up two
feet a second with safety; for greater
depths the rate Of ascent must be
slower"
