LANCASTER.

A recent improvement in our little
village was the erection of a new de-
pot The building is sufficiently large
to accommodate the demands of the
town. That Lancaster is one of the
big shipping stations along the T. G.
rail road is proven by the 442,00
pounds of freight shipped from this
point during January. This included
shipments made by Mr.. Robert Hef
lin, one of the county's largest grain
dealers, and Mr.. J. P Lancaster, one
of the county's largest live stock
dealers. 1t might be said in this con-
nection that the capable and accommo-
dating depot agent, Mr.. Luke Nixon,
has been rewarded for his faithful
services by a considerable increase in
his salary. For fifteen years, Mr..
Nixon has filled this Office with gener-
Fl satisfaction and the increase in his
salary was well deserved.

A YANKEE JOKE

Now and then a good natured, anony-

Republican feels about the backsliding
towns of western Massachusetts that
have gone wet since the United States,
by adopting the federal prohibition
amendment and the wartime prohibit
ton statute, went dry. 1t is an entirely
natural and pertinent question.
The impression one gets from town
meeting that votes wet this spring,
after twenty-five years of consistent
no license, is that nobody "keers''
much any more. It is like sending to
the bat for it's ninth inning baseball
team that has already won the game in
eight innings. The crowd has started

PROLONCING LIFE BY CLIMATE.

MAR POinton writes from Califor-
MIA that he believes it will prOlong the
life Of an individual ten or fifteen
years to reside in the southern see
ton of the Golden Gate state There
is no denying that California has an
inviting climate, yet there are many
things that tend toward prolonging
life besides the condition of the at
mosphere. Baraboo is in a state
which is considered north, yet there
are as many people in this city who
have reached an advanced age
there probably being more persons
here over 80 years than at Alhambra,
in proportion to the population. Bet
ter food, cleanliness and other things
have greatly reduced the death rate,
especially in early life.
tend to reduce the span of years.
Many men do not die naturally, they
kill themselves. Worry is one of the
dangers of middle life and New York
doctors state diabetes rises sharply
every time that stocks fall. The poor
houses are filled with persons who let
others do the worrying
Fear, anger, evil passions, things
that are Incorporate, are poisons
which bring many to the last mile
stone too soon.
A leading specialist in New York
says that he believes consumption
could be practically eradicated in
single generation if people would sleep
well, breathe deeply of fresh air,
drink plenty of water, eat an abund-
ance of fruit, partake of plenty of
vegetables, and consume a quantity of
both fats and oils.
Avoid extremes, live quietly, eat the
right foods, and the chances are ia
vorable for long life, California or
no California.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TIE
MAN

In surveying the career of the late
Frank w Woolworth, the owner of
the Woolworth building in New York
and the founder of the chain of 3 and
10-cent stores bearing his name, one
may get some inspiration as to the
things that are still undiscovered in
this world; says the Springfield Re-
publican. It must be true that even
in money-making there are possibili-
ties which no one has yet contem-
plated.
Fifty years ago no one had dreamed
that man could make fortune Of
$65, 100000 by establishing stores deal
ing in nothing but 3 and 10-cent mer-
chandise. No doubt such stores would
have been impossible in any earlier
period. The concentration of popula-
ton in large towns or cities and new
organization of business processes had
to be developed before such merchan-
dising on a great scale could be made
feasible and profitable.
But the point is that new opportu-
mites are constantly arising because
business conditions and processes are
always changing. The man Of keen
insight and lively imagination is the
one who will first see and grasp these
opportunities. he who can thus make
his way into entirely new fields in
trade or industry reminds us that the
frequent natural superiority of one
person to another is a fact which can
not be discounted Or explained away
by any social theories emphasizing en-
vironment at the expense of natural
endowments. For the abIest men the
world will always provide opportu-
nifty No leveling process will for
long hold them down.

SCARCITY OF RICH MEN

Here is an awful side-light upon the
futility of human effort, the thriftless-
ness of man and the havoc wrought by
the high cost Of living: From among
any one hundred young chaps you may
pick out, only five, upon death, will
leave enough funds to pay burial ex-
penses.
The insurance actuaries have UNI
earthed' this unpleasant fact. They
have furnished us with the best thrift
argument on the market.
No red blooded American relishes
the idea of eventually being depend
net upon charity. Yet the statistician
shows that most of us must finally
bow our heads and accept our bread
and coffee as gift from someone
son, neighbor or the board of county
COMMISSIONERS.
The actuaries in their brutal endeav-
OR to drive home the moral of thrift,
have taken one hundred young men of
good physique and mentality at the age
of twenty-five years and have traced
them through to the cemetery. The
course of life is dreary affair in it's
final results, but we may hope that the
futile hundred had a good time as they
went along, getting their moneys
worth from day today.
Of the hundred, after twenty years,
only eighty-four are left. Of the
eightly-four men of forty-five years of
age. four are wealthy Of the rest,
sixty-five have their noses to the grind
stone, still able to drag home a pay
envelope, but possessing not a cent
beyond the week to week earnings of
their labor. The remaining fifteen al
ready have thrown UP the sponge and

are dependent on their children, rela-

are dependent on their children, reia-
tives, neighbors or the public.
Ten years later, at ffty-five, only
forty-six of the hundred are able to
work and to support themselves from
day to day, though having no accumu-
lations. Thirty men are dependent on
relatives arecharity. Only four men
are rich or in good circumstances.
At sixty-five only six of the original
hundred are still able to pay their way
by labor. Four others are wealthy.
Fifty-four are dependent.
At seveny-fve, sixty-three Of the
hundredare dead, sixty of them leav-
ing no estate whatever. Three of the
hundred are wealthy and thirty-four
ofthe thirty-seven still alive are de-
pendent on younger members of their
own families or on charity.
When all have been gathered to
their fathers it is found that only five
of the whole lot were solvent enough
at the time of death to pay the charges
on the y-as-you-enter-into- the king
DOM of Heaven wagon.

ASSESSOR Case
AT MERRIMACK

The trustees of the village of Merri-
mack have selected Herman Weinke to
fill the office of assessor. AT the spring
election about month ago there was
tie and those conducting the election
failed to have the matter settled by
lot as provided by law. 1t was then
for the trustees to select an assessor
and they decided upon the one holding
the office last year, rejecting the two
who had the tie vote.
