Local Industries.

One of the generating plants In Cal
lfornia decided to offer its stock to its
customers, instead of sending it TO
New York for needed funds. Its sue.
cess was immediate. says the Society
for Electrical Development. Employ
ees Of the company were the first to

in the safety of their company, based
on intimate knowledge of its workings.
The public eagerly followed. Today

heretofore never owned utility stock.
The growing popularity of customer
partnership in public utilities in lieu
of the uch-discussed municipal own
ership and its uncertainties may be the
herald of day when the American
people, like their thrifty neighbors of
France, will be partners in all their

Town Planning.

The familiar rush of the people from
the land to the cities, so pronounced
feature of modern times. has-encour-
aged congestion in most communities.
Recourse to town planning has been
forced by the necessities of efficient
transportation and sound land values,
as we'll as good health.
1t is fashionable today to deplore
the slums. Why provide new ones?
why add congestion TO existing con-
gestion, when, simply by looking
ahead and taking thought, healthy
growth may be. assured?
Town planning provides the city
with eyes to see where it is spreading
and to conform to the demands of bust
ness and comfort. A city unpIanned
is a blind giant, sprawlIng over the
ground. 1t wastes some Of its great
est assets in building debauch.
Every city that keeps order on its
streets must also keep order in it,
advance to greater size and influence
It must put town planning traffic ex
perts at important corners on III
way.-Montreal Star.

PROPER TEST OF PROGRESS
Many Things Good Citizens viii Put
Above the Numerical. Growth OF
Their Community.

Greater New York is peeved because
1t has been credited with SOME AGO.
600 fewer people than 1t believes lives
within its boundaries. says the st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat. 1t has enough
to lead London and thus be classed
as the largest metropolis of the world,
and If pride in nothing but the num-
Der of people who manage to exist
within the official limits of the city
is the ruling spirit, New York ought
to be satisfied with credit for hav-
ing the largest number. But it is
not satisfied and is making count OF
its own. The census figures show an
actual decline in the borough Of Man
haitian, which fact ought to envoke
expressions of satisfaction instead OF
the reverse If some of the crowded
. masses of lower Manhattan have been
able TO find homes outside that dis
trict, thus reducing the congestion and
making living smore comfortable. fol-
those who are compelled to remain
1t should be matter of general con
graduation.
Why is a census taken? Is it SC
that we may know exactly how many
people there are in the United States
and that municipal rivalries based en-
tirely upon the number of human be
ings who live within the official boun
diaries may be determined? That i
all great many people see In II
Newspaper comment on figures givel
out is purely numerical. Perhaps tina
| Is because we have only numerical
data as yet. Far more worth consid
GRAFTON will be the facts as to iii
conditions of life. the social and re
ligious status, the matter of employ
ment, housing. ETC., etc. Any city ger
uninely interested in its actual growt
and conditions will pay more attentio
to such data than to the mere ma
ter Of numbers.

Col T. s. Wilkinson, State Leader.
Dies Suddenly.

New Orleans, La, Feb. L.
Col. Theodore S. Wilkinson,
former congressman from the
first Louisiana district, collector
of the Port of New Orleans, can
didate for governor in 1908, own
er Myrtle Grove plantation on
the lower cost and one OF the
best known citizens of the en-
tire State, died at 6 o'clock Tues
day morning. He was 70 years
old. Heart failure was the cause
of death.
Mr.. Wilkinson first entered
politics in 1872 when he cham
pioned the cause of Horace Gree
|ly. He was an anti-lottery lead
er in 1890 and narrowly escaped
death on several occasions. His
joint debates with ]. Y. Sanders
lin 19O7-S, in their race for gov.
ernor, will long be remembered
in this state.

Chess VS.. Checkers.

Chess appeals to mature minds, and
wood supplies most of the aceouue-
ments with. which il is played Some
of the best are of ebony and boNwood,
but very satisfactory games may be
played with yellow poplar, bass Wood,
walnut. maple and birch outfits. says
the American Forestry Magazine. The
same holds true on checkers, but that
game usually is rated a little lower
than chess in scientific points, though
nc less an authority than Edgar Allan
Poe holds that as mental exercise
of the highest and purest sort cheek
ers surpass chess.

The Country Man and Town Man Need
.llIi 81 Help of Each Other.

The spirit among our farmers
and town people should be the
same as that one which is en-
phatically brought out by j. R.
Howard, president Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation,
when he says:
We are trying to break down
the condition of class conscious
ness of which we see so much
these days. There is absolutely
no rhyme nor reason in a clash
between the city and the conn-
try. Each needs the other in its
business. And each should re-
spect the other for what it has
and what it can do. The farmer
must realize that the city or
town resident has certain prob
lens to meet, and the city man
must do the same thing for the
farmer.
1t is a tremendous step in the
farmers prospects when he be-
comes interested and takes part
in urban affairs. Just as he
takes part in city affairs, SO in
proportion will he have a bigger
part in shaping his market. Just
as manufacturers send represent
atives into the field to develop
markets for their plants, SO will
the farmer develop markets in
the city for his factory, namely,
his farm.
So strongly convinced are the
farmers through the activities Of
the farm business, that towr
problems are also country prob
lens, that the farmers propose
to control the selling of the things
they produce. They are taking
steps to regulate urban conditions
so that the farmer can realize {
legitimate, equitable and com
mensurate compensation for hi
crops. Give everybody a fail
and square deal, is their motto.

Velvet Beans Show Worth on Farm.
"a farmer related a comlcai
experience to me a few days ago
in regard to the growing OF vel
vet beans" writes F. A. Swami,
agent in Avoyelles paris h..
Early in the spring this farmer
made arrangements to try out 9
few acres in velvet beans. he
planted the seed early and the
crop made luxuriant growth.
One day in August his wife de-
cided to take a look at the crops
in the field and in her tour OF
inspection she found the patch
of velvet beans. She Immediate
" concluded that the corn IN
which the beans had been plant
ed was entirly ruined and didn t
MT hesitate to place the blame
where she thought it properly
belonged. The farmer did all he
could to explain that the beans
would pay in the. end. but with
out avail. Nothing more was
said about the beans until later
in the fall when the wife began
to notice that the cows were CIV
ing more milk. and that the hogs
and horses were beginning to fat
ten up. She wanted to know
the reason for this, and TIN
farmer answered, velvet beans.

Saving Cost of Marketing.

More to eat. plenty to feed and
something to sell, would be de-
sirable plan for cotton growers
who are striving to find a way
for better living. With an album
dance for the family table and
enough feed for as many animals
as the farm would sustain eco
noniically, markets would not be
SO scarce nor so unsatisfactory.
When markets are demanded for
our product to supply all family
needs and buy feed for animals,
they can scarcely withstand the
strain. especially when that pro-
duct must be sent out of the
country to be manufactured.
We need a plan that will sup
ply our needs as nearly as posi-:
BILE without selling crops or ami;
mails to bring what we can pro.
duce on our farms. What We
sell should be to buy what We
need, but cannot raise on oul
farms. Texas Farm and Ranch

They Resist, Decay.

The Northwest Indians nearly al
mays made their totem poles out OF
western red cedar. but tits choice was
probably due more to the fact that
the wood is easy to work and fex';
tremely durable. rather than TO its
fragrance. says the American Forestry
Magazine of Washington. II may be
taken as a very good general rule that
woods that are scented are resistant
to decay and insect attack. and have
good cabinet qualities

More farming for a living
should be done and there will be
less risk of poor markets. If
most farmers would produce
what they could for home use
the markets would be required
to take less and as a result there
would be less strain on them.
Pie way to have markets is to
save and conserve what you have.
Use your markets only when 1T
is necessary to sell the surplus
YOU cannot eat or feed.
