work on Odd Railroad
Cured His Dyspepsia

s..,vester Marsh, son Of New
c.nnshire farmer, was made the
pa la If many gibes when he pro-
Ou sad the idea Of building rail-
p.J n the summit of Mount Wash

aoiact and it has been called the
p INST astonishing engineering feat

Boston s & Maine system.
The inventor was called Crazy

Old Tower Once Home
of Distinguished Men

At IslingtOn is the Canonbury
tower. It has the double attraction
of q great age and of association
NJ famous and well-loved people.
Francis Bacon lived here for nine
wears In the early part of the
seventeenth century, when it was
called "Canonbury house." One Of
the upper rooms has his name and
q Latin inscription over the doors.
Charles Lamb, who lived near by at
"a Duncan terrace, and Washington
Irving, before he went for his three
years visit to Spain, rambled over
the old tower.
The most interesting thing about
this old tower is that Oliver Gold
smith wrote "The Vicar Of Wake
field" here when he had taken
refuge from his creditors in the
lodgings Of his friend, Newberry,
the bookseller, but any small boy
who inspects the tower will decide
In favor of the Compton room,
where he will ignore the lovely
paneling to inspect the very bull
let embedded In the wall, that was
aimed at Sir Walter Raleigh.

end of 1928 is $40, 600 900. The leg
islature moved the biennium up
to April 1, 1929, thereby counting
about $4,5OO,000 of the 1929 in
come. In other words, the 1927
legislature traded off the 1929
legislatures pork. But, even at
that, it is not likely that the 3d.
100000 due in 1929 can be used
in 1928. There is a constitutional
provision that limits the states
debts to a total of $4OO,O 900. Here
tofore, there has been no protest
against using over-appropriations
contracting on futures-but in
political times like these, what
with one faction checking up on
the other, the constitutional provi-
sion is sure to be invoked.
This situation, reduced to real
lilies, means that there is not more
than $21,00O,O0O in sight to paw
off more than $27,0O0,O 900 in pro-
misses. The Hartley group in the
house started the spree of gener-
osity. Then the senate groun
which is in conflict with the gov
ernor, decided to be big-hearted
too. The result was a pork pot
latch. battle of promises.
The senate became open-handed
on the theory that the problem of
delivery would be up to Gov. Hart
ley. That is, the senate group
concluded that those left out would
feel aggreived and deprived by the
Hartley administration, saying in
effect, "Here's juicy road appro-
priation, just go to Hartley and
try to get it."
Consequently, if the governor
does not prune the road bill. it is
a safe bet that Olympia will be
beseiged by the scramble of those
who want theirs" before the bar
rel runs dry.

you know that more poultry is sold dur

This causes prices to drop and a small

able to store, we will keep these prices
more as they should be. We are the only

With the low price of eggs people will be

The keeper, seeing that the bird
