"Very few people realize that the
scientific activities of the world are

that they will doubtless continue to do
so If material means be given to keep

university school of medicine, in a re-

THRIFT STAMP SUGGESTIONS.

Banjamin Franklin.
Dost thou love life? DO not squander
time, for time is the stuff that life is
made Of.
Early to bed and early to rise make
a maj healthy, wealthy and wise.
AZ tho working mans house hunger
looks in, but dares not enter.
Diligence is the mother Of good luck;
and God oiveth all things to industry.
Piow deep while sluooards sleep, and
you shall have corr to sell and to keep.
Trouble springs from idIeness, and
~grievous toll from needless ease.
Keep thy shop and thy shop will
keep thee.
He that by the pillow could thrive,
himself must either hold or drive.
Many estates are spent in the get
ming and knitting, and men for punch
forsook hewins and splitting.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
Silks and satins, scarIets and velvets
put out the kitchen fire.
A plowman on his legs is higher
than a gentleman on his knees.
Pride is as loud a beosar as want,
and a great deal more saucy.
II is hard for an empty bag to stand
upright.
Creditors are 4 superstitious set;
great observers Of set days land times.
Wis easier to build two chimneys
than to keep one in fuel.
Pride is as. loud a beggar as dined
with poverty and supped with infamy.
Little strokes fell great trees.

tically denuded of timber before lan6 was purchased.
 The first work done was removal Of all dead peach trees and apple trunks, burning the same. 20,OOO pine trees were set out on the cleared land, under the direction of com potent forester, ninety-f1ve per cent of those are growing at the present time.
 The past winter, owing to the shortage of fuel, was considered an opportune time to complete the clear ing of the balance of the water shed, and more attention was paid to the cutting, the expense, and the net re- suits. The payrolls for December, January and February were $991.64, deducting $2O7.67 for caretaker's sal ary, leaves $783.97 for labor and team work the latter $282.37. One-half of above amount would be $391.98, which was the labor on wood and disposal of same. Twelve cord were sold at the lake for $5 per cord $6O; 9 cord at $9 per cord $81; cord at sS per cord SIP; 38 cord at $6 per cord SIPS, making $441. Due and collectible, 10 cord $60, wood on hand 10 cord $S0, making total num- Der of cord S8 odd, and receipts, when final returns $581. ApproXi- mate expense $391.98, leaving an ap- parent profit of $199.O2.
 The variation in the price was caused by some wanting sound wood for which So was charged. The $S wood was sawed, and the $6 wood was four-foot, and the s5 wood was taken by the purchaser. The greater part of this wood was sold through the office, and the many kicks and complaints were brought there too. It has been stated that some of this wood was sound wood it is true, and in a measure helped to sell balance, which had little value at all for fuel, and which in other years was de- stroyed by burning on the lot.
 The year of 1915 saw the begin ming of the clearance of this land, which was denuded, by clearing all brush and dead matter, burning the same on the ground. 1916. the bal ance of the land acquired was gone over by this forester accompanied by the chairman and caretaker, and all growth necessary for removal in the clearing of the land was marked for cutting This work was done n the winter season, in connection with the work necessary on the canals to free them from ice and snow. No accur- ate account of the labor was kept re- lating to each particular part of work done, but such wood as was salable was disposed of for $3 per cord at the lake. and $5 delivered. Much trouble was encountered in disposal of this wood, many people refusing to take it at any price. $261

JESTER FIGHTS FOR
 SALARY CHANGES
Fails to Have Pay Of Public
 Works Board Increased

Just before the expiration of the 1917-l91S council last evening Alder
 man M. Irving Jester, d candidat to for the republican nomination for mayor, introduced a resolution which for few minutes indicated that the salary revision items, which con- stunned so much time one and two months ago and which the cOunGil has so Ofttimos considered and recon sidered of late, would again come up for reconsideration. The second Warder's resolution provided for a change in the ordinance whereby tnC salary of the members Of the board Of public works, which was reduced several months ago from $200 to $50 at tho suggestion of Alderman Charles May he again increased to the $200 mark. After some discus sion the council voted, 12 to g, not to increase the salaries of these mem- hers.
 Immediately Alderman Jesters resolution providing for a reconsid- eration was read Alderman May was on his feet to protest. He said his opinion has not changed in the slight est during the past two months and he does not see where the members Of the board of public works earn $200 a year when their work is com pared 10 that of some of the other boards which work for nothing Councilman w. C. Wall favored put ting the salary back at $200 and Alderman O. r. Curtis said he would vote in favor of such action. He eN- plained his change of mind by saying that when he voted for the cut some time ago he did so on the strength of the belief that this was but one of several items that were to be sliced and he favored tho general scheme, but since this did not work out he favored putting the pay back at $200 Tn commenting on the board of public works, however, Alderman Curtis said that he really does think the board is too largo and believes that if it was composed of threO members who get tho pay of the six it might be better He also called attention in a joking way to the fact that in Bristol tho members Of the common council get $200 per year, and in this connection he said that if the New Britain council was smaller and the members paid some- thing the city might expect better work and better material--some- times. Councilman Muller said he revising any salaries and on a vote the second ward alderman's resolution was lost.
