Then you are not Mrs. Pell?" he
said.

At that evening, when May and
Frank came. they found May and
Stewart Marvel just putting the fin
fishing touches to the dinner table.
Nell had simply had to invite him
to stay and meet Frank and May, and
he had not only insisted upon helping
care for the children but in actually
helping her prepare the meal.
Great was Franks joy at sight of
his old friend, and jolly meal fol-
lowed, after which Stewart Marvel
insisted upon Mays resting while he
and Nell washed the dishes. After
the dishes were finished the card
table was brought out and a merry
game followed.

VEGETABLE FARMING"

An agricultural organization in New Britain, which had been in ex- istence before the Civil War, came to it's end the other day, the main reason being there were no longer a sufficient number of farmers in the community to keep it going.
 In Berlin, however, things are different. The Berlin Farmers club, from all accounts, continues a pros- porous and active organization; its meetings are exactly what such af- fairs should be-a discussion of the hest ways and means to procure the Lest crops at the least possible out lay of capital and labor. Speakers of more or less prominence help to impart valuable information; social. bility is an important factor.
 The farmers in and around Der lin may come under the category of being vegetable farmers" and as such they are different than those with huge blocks of land devoted to what are known as the major crops. But they are important nevertheless. Vegetables are neces- sary in our diet; the fact is, most of us do not eat a sufficient quan- tity, according 10 the doctors.
 Let the Berlin farmers keep right at it; they are following a use ful occupation. and in some cases it may be an avocation. The more vegetables they raise the moro we will eat; and we can youch for it that the product raised around Der lin is as fine as that grown any where.

ANTI-PISTOL MAILING

Signing of a federal law prevent ing the mailing of revolvers or any other weapon capable of being con- cealed marks the end of a long eff fort to prevent criminals and the weakminded from procuring death- dealing weapons from mail-order concerns. Its effects will not be im- mediate, but as time passes and the weapons now in use wear out or be- come lost a class in society which finds if difficult to obtain weapons from responsible houses will find themselves in the position where they will have to do without them.
 There was no opposition to pas sage of such a law by established arms manufacturers, These are not in the field to furnish arms to gun men. The only opposition came from mail order interests who wanted the privilege of selling to all corners through the mails. These firms, us- ually small hole-in- -the-wall affairs. were interruptions and advertised in the handful of unscrupulous Journals read by the morons who bought their wares. The responsible journals long ago refused to accept mail-order revolver advertising. There is still revolver advertising printed, of course, and it is of an entirely legiti mate character; but it does not offer 10 send the revolvers by mail, the reader being directed to deal with his retailer. If he is not a fit person to have revolver the retailer will know 1t.
 One sore spot remains in the arms business; there are a few unscrupu- lous dealers in the large cities who are perfectly willing to sell to gun. men. Chicago seems to be a place where this business prospers, q firm there recently being found which blandly sold machine guns to resi- dents Of Cicero, H.. where they have been used with disastrous effect upon several occasions.

OVERLOOKING TRICKS

Truck owners in various parts of the state have let it be known that they are forced to overload their ve- hicles in order to make a profit. This was the defense put up by Winstead lumber firms who were charged with putting too much weight upon the state highways.
 This defense is a weak one. What did these firms do when there were no trucks? A heavy load" on an old-style wagon would be a light one for modern five-ton truck. Profits were made in the old days without trying to transport enormous weights of material at one time.
 There are innumerable bridges in the state which are not built to stand the weights of locomotives passing over them. The weight al- lowed by law usually is plainly marked upon their approaches. If the truck interests believe they must overload in order to make a profit on their hauling, it is clear they are willing to risk disaster by disregard ing the weight limitations imposed at numerous bridges.
 Heavy truckloads of merchandise injure the highways. The law should be rigidly enforced everywhere.

least, we all hope so. The country would not be quite the same with out the mechanical wizard of Orange, N. J.
 Edison is not the rich man one would expect him to be. It is stated by those in a position to know that he is worth" no more than s1,000,- coo. Considering that he has HOO patents to his credit, some of them the most important of the age. this sum Is little enough. The companies using he important Edison patents are capitalized at more than S2o,- 900, 900, 0,000-twenty times the size of the Ford properties.
 The truth is Edison never com- mercialized his patents to the fullest extent. Some of them he sold out right for nominal sums; others he let out on a royalty basis-and a very small royalty in the bargain. Had he been as great a financier as he is an inventor he would be the richest man of the age: but that no doubtwould not have made of him a letter man, one more beloved by his fellow citizens.
 Long may he live.

THE LINCOLN ANNIVERSARY
Long may he live.

It may be a matter of opinion as to who was the greatest American George Washington OF Abraham Lincoln; the man who was father of his country" or the man who saved 1t from smashing asunder. But there can be no doubt that the rail- splitter from Illinois who became the Civil War president at feast shares with Washington the distinc- ton of having been a really great citizen. one whose courage and fortitude equallen those qualities possessed by the Virginia planter, although they lent their genius to the nation under vastly different circumstances. Again we celebrate the birth of Lincoln, given to the Union by the Blue Grass state. His rise to eminence was from low be- ginnings; he was born in poverty: lived in a log hut, rose to fame at critical period by espousing the cause of human freedom. He had convictions about the evil of slav- cry and impressed them upon the nation through the forcefulness of his personality, by dint of the de- termined attitude he took that the nation could not survive half slave and half free.
 History yields no more dramatic career than that of the tall, sparse thinker from the Illinois prairies. A lover of peace he was no shirker of duty, even when it meant the appeal to arms in the cause of righteousness. Could he have had his way the slaves would have been freed without bloodshed; it would have been vastly cheaper for the federal government to purchase the freedom of every black man in bond age than to go through four years of civil strife. But the fates would not have 1t that way; and when the Hateful hour struck Lincoln was the man at the helm, prepared to guide the ship of state to that haven where freedom abides and liberty rules. And at the end he gave his own life to the cause which so many patriots had defended and died for.

SHUTTING OFF WATER
 IS TOO RADICAL

The ordinance before the Com mon Council, having been submitted by the building commission. which would shut off the supply of water if meters are not easily accessible, should not be passed in it's present form. Shutting off the water is en- tirely too severe a penalty, one entirely out of proportion to the of fense: in many cases it would pun lsh the tenants rather than the land lord.
 In some states communities or water companies are not permitted 10 turn off the water on premises except after due hearings and warn ings to all persons in the building. These restrictions have been unheld by their courts, which have ruled tenants are not to blame for a dis agreement about water service be- tween landlords and the water de- partments and cannot justly be made to suffer on that account. Moreover, in cases of sickness the turning off of the water supply may have seri- GUS results, possibly death. Sanita- tion also is interfered with, To turn eff water upon premises, looked at from any angle, is against public safety.
 Now along comes the building commission, with an ordinance said 10 have been prepared in the cor roration counsel's office. and wishes 10 turn off the citys water merely when meters are not located in such spot as to be accessible to in spectors without an instant's delay.
 Such delay may be irritating, but here ought to be more sensible way out of the difficulty than fix ing such drastic penalty as shut ting off the water for causing it.

EDISON AT so

Thomas A. Edison is beginning to think with increasing fervor of the hereafter. He now has a theory Of his own worked out to his entire satisfaction, one which calls for immortality, Edisons system may not be in entire conformity with the religious systems; in fact, it may be said to go a little farther in trying to explain how the soul leaves the body and what it is composed of.
 When man reaches 80 he natur- ally thinks much of these things; at least so it is said. Perhaps it would be to his advantage to do a little hard thinking upon such possibili- lies at an earlier age, and in truth, il often occurs.
 The person who doesn't specu- late upon immortality at so isn't in- tertsted in if.
 This does not mean that the genial inventor is nearing the end of his brilliant career. The way he has been living, now that it has been shown he always slept his full share of hours nightly, and not three or tour as had been currently be- lieved. would indicate he will be with us a long time. There seems no reason why the inventor should hot live into the century class a.

BABE RUTH'S SALARY

Babe Ruth, admittedly a huge drawing card in the baseball busi- ness, cannot be blamed for looking with extreme interest upon the re- ports that Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker have been granted salaries of S75,- 900 a year, while his own modest stipend is merely s52,ooo. If Cobb and Speaker are worth the large sum, Ruth ayers, he himself is worth even more.
 Baseball is beginning to suffer from the star system. Perhaps, to a certain extent, this was inevitable.
