The Perversions of Fear

EEAR perverts every one Of

From the crown of the head
to the sole of the feet fear
goes through us and changes
every noble function from a
DIR. Jekyll to a Mr.. Hyde.
II there be a devil who loves
to comfort and caricature the
works of God his name -is
Fear.
Fear corrupts thought. No
man can think straight when
he is afraid. Every line OF
reasoning is .polarized by the
medium OF fear.
There can be no sound judg-
ment in the presence Of fear.
All conclusions are vitiated.
There can be no clear un-
derstanding where there is
fear. We can comprehend
nothing when we are afraid of
1t. We see nothing clearly. All
outlines are obscured by a sort
Of fog. Nobody understands
any person or thing he is afraid
Of.
There can be no good work
done in fear.

DEPoRT comes from the
~ New York State Experi.
ment Station OF the development
Of a new variety of red rasp'
berry that is said to be in some
respects superior to any prev
iously cultivated Twelve years,
we are told, have been re-
quired to develop and fix the
variety, the work involving first
a cross fertilization between
two earlier varieties, and sec
ondly, careful selection among
successive generations Of seed
ings, all but the best being
weeded out.
The parent forms were a
raspberry called June, previous.
ly developed by the experiment
station. and the Cuthbert, a
standard commercial favor!te.
The development offspring Is
said to surpsss both parents in
the size of fruit and other de-
sirable qualities. Only three
perfected seedlings are in hand
as yet, but 1t is expected that
from these a race of CONNER
cial Importance will be bred.
MEANTIME a new purple
N1 raspberry has been de-
veloped by crossing red and
black varieties; and although
this new form is not yet ready
to be exploited, it has given
such promise that great things
are predicted for its progeny of
later seasons.
These experiments bring to
mind the fact that the rasp-
berries, and their cousins the
blackberries, are among the
easiest Of fruit-bearing plants
with which to experiment. They
may be cross.fertilized by mere

THE purpose Of apprentice

sition of knowledge. but the
abolition of fear. for the dit-
ference between a master and
an amateur is that the masters
hand Is sure and the tyro's
wavers.
We instinctively dislike fear
and the evidence of it. The
amateurs giving a play at the
high school exhibition are un-
pleasant to witness because
their gestures and words are
bound with fear; and we like

REFER to the production of
= the famous Loganberry,
which appeared spontaneously"
In the garden Of the Californian
whose name 1t now bears, and
which could be accounted fer
only by suppos:ng that 1t rep.
resented an accidental" cross
between a blackberry or duberry
and the Cuthbert raspberry.
The word accidental as here
used characterizes the work OF
some industrious bee. which
transferred pollen from the
flower of raspberry to that OF
blackberry, or vice versa, while
pursuing its regular occupation
of gathering honey.
THUS was accomplished the
= virtual creation Of a new
species of fruit.bearing plant,
having traits of both raspberry
and blackberry. but differing
from either, and in particular
bearing a larger fruit than that
borne by either parent stock.
Luther Burbank subsequently
took the bee for his model and
made a similar cross. producing
a fruit of the Loganberry type.
to which he gave the name
phenomenal berry.

FOUND DEAD IN ROOM.
L. ]. Thomas of Sheffield Had Been
Drinking Heavily.

L. J. Thomas of Sheffield was found
dead in his room late Saturday eve
ming.
He was about the street as usual
Saturday morning, but when he was
missed in the evening an investigation
of his whereabouts was suggested.
He had not been sick, but had been
drinking heavily of late and the evil
dence of liquor in the room was suffi-
cient cause for his death.
The states attorney was notified,
but as there was no evidence or init
nation of foul play no official action
was thought to be necessary. The body
was taken to Dodge 4 Watson's under
taking rooms in Lyndonville and pre-
pared for burial The funeral will be
held from the Methodist church in Lynn
donville at o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
Mr.. Thomas was SO years of age and
had lived in Sheffield and Wheelock the
most of his life. He was married in
Manchester, NJ H., but had not lived
with. his wife for the past twenty
years. He leaves one daughter, who, at
last accounts, was living in Waterbury,
Conn.,, but all attempts to locate her
to notify her of her fathers death had
failed.

FEDERAL AID HIGHWAYS.
Are Being Selected All Over the Coun-
try for 1928 Work.

The selection Of the roads to compos,
the system of federal-aid highway,
which will reach into practically every
county of the United States is progress
ing rapidly according to the bureau Of
public roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. State aid
| federal engineers have held numerous
conferences during the past summer
in all sections Of the country.
The system is being outlined in ac-
cordanoe with the requirements of the
federal highway act Of last November,
which contemplates a system of high
ways to be built with federal aid such
as no other nation has ever possessed
and which, once built, will be con-
tinuously maintained in seryiceable
condition. Eighteen feet will be the
minimum width Of roadway unless
conditions justify lesser width and
such cases must be given special APP
prevail.
The system will consist of not more
than per cent Of the total road mile
age in any one state, not more than 81
of which will be primary or interstate
highways and the remainder secondary
or inter-county highways. The total
mileage Of primary and secondary
roads win be approximately $4,000
miles.
Work has progressed rapidly on the
system during the past year and TO-
600 miles Of road have been completed
in conjunction with federsl-aid These
have been projects of such importance
that there is no doubt as to their be-
ing included in the system as finally
outlined.
