Should you receive a bill for print
ing that calls for more money than
ever before, don't get excited or ugly
about it, as everything in the line of
paper from the print paper on which
this is printed to the finest linens and
ledgers has been advanced an average
of nearly Is per cent. This isn't the
fault of the printer, and he must eth
err increase the charges for printing
for discontinue work. He cannot
buy paper of the wholesale. houses
unless he pays the advance prices.
The chances are that all jobs of
commercial work, will be advanced
20 to Is per cent and the net re-
suits to the printer will not be any
more than before the increase in
prices on paper, type, ink, etc.
Don't jump on your printer; he is
entitled to a fair rate for his work.

While these three countries just
named did not in any sense break their
relations with the Vatican and prhps
even now try to keep in better con-
nection than ever, it was impossible
for them to remain openly here, due to
the peculiar position of the Holy See.

How Southern Farmers Went
Wrong

'tNew England farmers should not
make the mistake that Southern
farmers made last year. Because of
6 cent cotton at planting season a
number of farmers cut down their APP
plications of fertilizers in amount per
acre. At the close of the season, the
price had returned to II 1-2 cents
per pound, but the crop decreased 81
per cent from the normal says John
D. Toll, Editor of The American Fer
tilizer.
IF there is a general decrease in
the quantity of fertilizer used in New
England per acre, there is certain to
be a very marked decrease in crop
yields. The present high prices of
farm products will prevent thinking
farmers from decreasing the appEca-
tions of fertilizers per acre. con-
tinues Mr.. Toll. Although fertilizer
prices are higher, yet when consider
ed per acre unit, the difference is very
small. One bushel more per acre
will generally pay the difference.
Farmers cannot afford with present
prices for farm products to de-
crease the amounts of fertilizer they
apply per acre. I find that many
farmers are planning to increase their
application to counterfeit the effect of
the lack of potash and to secure
greater yields

WEST END THEATRE

Tonight in the photop1ay, faThe I'm
faithful Wife, starring Robert b
Manten with Genevieve Hamper is
one of the strongest dramas that has
ever come from the celebrated Will
liam. Fox studios. It deals with a
woman loved by two men. one of
whom is already married to her. The
play was written by Mary Muri1Io.
Briefly, its story is as follows:
Count Fabio Romani (dr Mante11)
lives hoppi1y in the love of his beau
tifnI wife, Juliet (AIiss Hamper), in
whom he believes implicitly. Romani
has friend, Durazzi (Stuart
Holmes), whom he had befriended on
many occasions. Durazzi and Juliet
secretly love each otter, but Romani
is blind to the bond OF alteration
which is developing day by day be-
tween his wife and the artist.
When cholera spreads over the lit
tie Italian village in which the trio
lives, panic seizes the inhabitants,
Romani himself develops symptoms of
the dreaded scourage, but in reality
his indisposition is nothing other than
Eunstroke- When he is taken home
unconscious, his wife and Durazzi con-
spfre to have him buried alive as one
who has succumbed to the plague.

Prosperity Through Diversified
Farming

t'No one crop will make people
prosperous. Whenever the greed for
a money crop out-balanceS the wis
dom of husbandry, the money crop
is a, curse. When it stimulates the
general economy of the farm, it is the
profit of farming writes Henry w.
Grady. The richest agricultural sec
tons in the country are those in
which some money crop is raised, in
a. system of rotation and farming in
which there is some livestock farm
ing
New England needs to include in its
rotation at least one crop that is
not sold from the farm but is mar
keted through the livestock that
should be raised on the farm. More
attention to the raising of cover
crops and the supplying of CONNER
cial plant food is also needed I'm
productive farms will be built up
gradually and the communities made
prosperous when all and not one fac
tor is taken into consideration.

Bui1ds Up aworn Out, Farm.

Is intelligent farm management
worth while? Down in Broome
County, New York, a man two years
ago bought a worn OUT farm of 95
acres for 1882 per acre, and in two
years made it pay 81 per cent on
the investment In addition he in
creased the market value of the farm
several times. The purchaser en-
gagged a tenant to live on the farm and
work under his direction. The land
had been cropped continuously for a
number of years to hay and buck
wheat and as a result the soil was in
poor physical condition and lacked
productiveness-
The first year the yield of pota-
toes from four acres was 90 bushels
per acre. The next year the yield was
$50 bushels per acre Commercial
fertilizer was relied upon both seasons
to supply plant food. Lime and fer
tilizer were used in raising buck
wheat and oats and the yields raised
materially in the two years. The
owner pastured ten head of young
cattle and renovated an old orchard

Great Britain, connecting the River
Clyde, which flows into the Irish Sea,

Sea side, was recently discussed before
the Royal Colonial Institute as a nee

would open up naval communications
between the east and west coasts of

among the numerous small Unfnhabit-

THE FARMERS CREED
(By Henry ward Beecher)

I believe that soil likes to eat as
well as it's owner and ought, therefore.
to be literally fed.
believe in large crops which leave
the land better than they found it
making the farmer and the farm both
glad at once.
believe in going to the bottom
Of things, and, therefore, in deep
blowing and enough, Of it. All the
better with a subsoi1 plow.
believe that every farm should
own a good farmer.
I believe that the best fertilizer for
any soil is a spirit Of industry, enter
price and intelligence. Without this,
lime and gypsum, bones and green
manure, mari and guano, will be of
little use.
I believe in good fences, good barns,
good farmhouses, good stock, good
orchards and children enough to
gather the fruit.
I believe in a clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, a spinning Wheel a clean
cupboard, a clean dairy and a clean
conscience.

Urges Same Acreage Next Season

The Maine Experiment Station rec

their acreage of potatoes next year
on account of the potash shortage.
DR.. Charles D. Woods, Director of
the Maine Station, says in reporting
the results of his experiments with
no-potash Fertilizers ION the results
of this one years experiments it seems
probable that even if commercial fer
tilizers should contain no potash next
year a slightly reduced but still prof
sitabIe yield can be expected.''
That there is POTASH ins the soil
which becomes more available as

liberal amounts of phosphoric acid
and nitrogen are applied. is demon
strated by other experiments in diff

proper idiversification and rotation of
crops followed, and attention given to
all other factors that make for farm
prosperity, the, effects of the lack of
potash will be reduced to the low

Before members of the FourthsDiS trict Republican club last night City Clerk Robinson. who is also the Re- publican town chairman, declared that there are at least 1000 men in the city eligible to vote at the coming voting lists.
 These. he said. included newcomers and young men who have just come of age. The Republican town chairman said that little effort is now being made to get these eligibles to file ap- plications. Those who desire to be made voters have until Oct. -e to file their applications. Usually in a year when the Presidential vote is to be taken the number of applications is the largest. MT. Robinson said that this year the applications so far are not up to the average number.
 About 75 members of the Fourth District Republican club enjoyed a shore dinner last evening at Crow iey's Tea House in State street and listened to speeches by John T. King and Mayor Wilson as well as the town chairman. Mir. King spoke on the tariff and declared that every man who lives in New England should vote the Republican ticket for self protection.
 He said the war is responsible for the present prosperity in the country and that after the war this country will be flooded with cheaply manu- factured goods from Europe unless a high tariff bill is passed. Mayor Will son repeated one of his speeches ad- vocating organization.

MISS SEARS WINS

Cedarhurst, l.. T., Sept. Miss Eleonora Sears, of Boston, and Miss Molla Bjurstedt, national champion, will face each other in the final of the Rockaway Hunting club invitation ed in straight sets in the semi finals yesterday against opponents that have played successfully in metropoli- tan journeys all season. In each case the score was 6-3, 6-2.
 In disposing of Miss Ina Kissell Miss Bjurstedt gave perhaps the clev- crest exhibition she has shown on the turf courts here. Miss KisseFs steadiness and her ability to get around the court swiftly forced the champion to call on her best skill in placing. She proved equal to the oc- casion. Although Miss Kissell made most of the rallies long, Miss Blur stedt was usually the one to find the first. opening for a decisive stroke. Miss Sears and Miss Handy had a long court driving duel in which the Boston woman's steadiness proved the winning factor.
 In doubles Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Sears had little trouble reaching the final, playing we'll together and keep ing their opponents on the defensive throughout. They are to meet Miss kissel and Miss Ethel Tyndall in the cup round. The latter in an extra set match eliminated Mrs. Knud Dahl Jr.. of Switzerland, and Mrs. David c | Mills.
