The day of the private card game the city council has anything to say about the matter, according to a reso- lution of the city council at it's last meeting. The citys card rooms are to be abolished. An ordinance has been drafted. and will be read at the next meeting prohibiting any pool hall, soft drink establishment, cigar stand, or other public place of busi- ness to maintain private card rooms for the use of its patrons. The coun- cil also discussed the propriety of al lowing the club women of the city to indulge in card games which are play ed for prizes.

Plans which were formulating for the promotion of big carnival for this city received a death blow last week when County Attorney Hugh Foster ruled that under no considera- tion would the preliminary bouts scheduled for the coming wrestling match be allowed, let alone card of fights for which admission is paid. The state law prohibits prize fighting, but hitherto no objection has been raised to fight cards which were given ostensibly for no prize, as free at fractions, or as a part of a smoker arrangement by one or more of ti.e numerous lodges of the state. The ruling of Foster cuts this off in this county at any rate.

Glover In the Moving.

Many farmers find 1t difficult to get q
catch OF clover. Year after year they
buy clover seed, SOW 1t, and yet never
get crop. The amount Of money lost
in this way Is enormous. Yet 1t is easy
to get stand of clover. The reason
why some farmers fail is because soil
conditions are poor. When conditions
are made right, not only does the clover
"cstch," but comes involuntarily. There
are farmers who have their land In such
shape from the use of lime and the
proper fertilizer that they no longer
have to SOW clover. On the ground of
the Massachusetts, station at Amherst
there ia land which In 1890 was very
weedy, "run out" and about due for
reseeding. A year ago Q915) this same
land had wonderfully beautiful crop of
clover, q thick, heavy sod, which effect

gave two bountiful cuttings, and which

tilizer. Yet, from 1890 to 1915 the land
has not known plow, has not been re-
seeded, and has had but one treatment
an annual op.dressing containing the
plant food needed by the clover crop.
This contained principally lime, potash
and phosphoric acid. The crop was 80
fine that number Of farmers we're ask
ed a. to how long they thought the land
had been in clover. They replied that 1t
could have been seeded not earlier than
the year previous.
when the soil is kept sweet by the
generous use Of lime, and kept we'll sup
piled with plant food, there 10 never
trouble In getting crop OF clover. This
holds true for rotation mowings % we'll
az for permanent meadows. The Penn
sylyania station has demonstrated this
on their rotation experiments, where for
20 years they have not failed In getting
their clover crop. What they have done
can be done by every farmer In the
country.

Statement by Mrs. Livingston.

In view of the publicity which is
being given to the women of the Con.
Qressional Union In the city of
Washington, who are very small
part of the great body of suffrsgists Of
the United States 1t seems wise for the
chairman Of the Maine suffrage campaign
committee to make the following state
ment:
We deplore most heartily anything
that appears like militancy on the part
of the suffragists of the United States,
and the National Suffrage Association
of which we are part has always been
and is absolutely opposed to militant
methods. We do not wonder that in
this great world struggle for democracy
when hundreds and thousands of the
best young manhood of our country are
being poured into Europe to make
democracy possible that many women
become impatient with the government
at It's unwilhngness to make democracy
genuine In our own land. But we do
not believe that militant methods will
accomplish that result. The suffragists
of Maine will 60 on In their peaceful

The Man Who Thinks.

laid down his dinner bucket, rolled a
broken knuckle out Of the pathway be-
tween the tracks, put 1t close up against
the ends of the ties, where no one could
stumble over 1t, picked up his dinner
bucket and plodded home.
More than fifty other employees had
preceded this man, each one carefully
picking his way around the obstruction.
I asked this man why he took the
trouble to roll the knuckle out Of the
pathway. He seemed surprised at such
q question and said, "Why, some OF the
boys might get bad fall II that knuc-
kle was there after dark" ] said, "All

Hunting Happiness.

Men have been living Oh this world

sensus Of opinion through the ages Is
that the thing most to be desired Is
happiness. No man can be really hap
py unless his conscience is clear. There
fore it pays to be honest and to treat
the other fellow as one would ike TO
be treated. No one can be happy who
sacrifices his health. Therefore fame
and too much money, either Of which
usually demand health in exchange.
are not to be desired. No man can
have the highest happiness unless he
can feel that he is doing little good
by living, that he is going to leave the
world n bit better after he has gone

Lettres do Cachst.

Lettres de cachet was the name given
In France to warrants sealed with the
kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or exiled. The frst
came into use about 1870 and shortly
became one of the popular terrors OF
France. 1t is said that no less than 1900
lettres de cachet were issued during
the reign OF Louis XIV. and $4,000 dur
ing the reign Of Louis Nv. In many
cases these terrible documents were
secretly sold and used as a source OF
Illicit revenue. They were frequently
signed in blank, and the holder OF one
Of these royal terrors could write In
the name Of any person against whom
he happened to have a grudge. The na-
tional assembly abolished this iniqui-
tous privilege of issuing lettres de
cachet Oh Nov l. 1889.

New England Self. Sustainins.

New England Self. Sustaining.
Our discussion of making New Eng
land farms moro self-sustaIning 10 stir.
ring up more interest than We dared
hope 1t would. That all are not agreed
does not matter. One farmer makes the
point that "home-grown" feed mesni
fewer cows. He figures that western
and southern grains have been the saliva
tion of New England dairymen and
stock raisers. "Where will milk con-
sumers be II We do not buy this feed to
maintain our large dairy herdsp"
Those are good and popular argu.
ments. However. suppose many OF the
poorer COWS are sold and enough good
ones kept to consume what the farm will
produce. Whether It is cows or hogs q
man is raising, what concerns him most
Is what he has left In bis pocket after all
bills are paid. The Homestead insists
that selling farm produce and labor on
the farm at retail prices is better than
buying everything at retail and selling
all at Wholesale, paying the middlemen
both ways. Our forefathers succeeded
on the former management.
There is no doubt about some farms
being unable to support the present
number of stock. But why overstock q
farm In the first place? The common
excuse is to get more fertilizer. Al
commendable az Is that ambition. might
not It be more profitable in the long run
to improve the farm ss one goes along,
gradually adding more as the place will
support It? Why 100 COWS on q place
that cannot support 20? As well have
40 cows on city lot with house and
barn, plus yard for exercise. II man
Is 100.cow farmer, let him locate on q
1OO.cow farm. There are plenty OF them.
They are not all In Vermont and Maine,
either.
Department stores are not located In
towns of 100 population. Big farmers
need big farms-bigusss In the sense Of
possibilities and not necessarily number
OF acres. The farm management surveys
may lead one astray II he thinks that oil
he has to do is increase the number of
stock on his place and profits will
double. Let him give close attention to
how the outgo compares with the in
come. One may be better off with $1,000
income and $400 outgo than another
with $4,000 income and $1,000 outgo.
As to western grains being the saliva
tion of New England dairymen, may
that not have qualifications Can It not
be argued that they have only delayed
the inevitable time when our farmers
must raise more of what they consume,
that these grains have placed Q premium
on abandoned fields with meadows and
pastures full of rocks and brushP When
grains were low It was easier to buy, and
being human our New England farmers
took the easiest way. Good authorities
tell us that through changed conditions
in the west the day of cheap feeds has
gone forever. Meantime, our New Eng
land stock has acquired the "purchssed
appetite" and our farmers the expen-
sive habit of depending upon someone
else. The service of that someone else
all along the line costs money.-New
England Homestead.
