Sl Avers the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: It is the farmer and the man of trade who need the roads; the threat of in vasion is remote to the point of ab surdity. Yet the very farmer who is landlocked, mudlocked by impassable roads each spring, but fails to re spond to an appeal to his interests, may be the first to answer a call to build good roads as a “war measure,” o S 3 —— W Ae A— -A, B That clams and oysters need clean water in order to be fit for food is perfectly well established. Dr. A. N. Purdy, of Mystie, Conn., is presums ably correet in his opinion that a causative relation exists between clams grown in water tainted with sewage and the cases of typhoid fever in that town. You cannot keep your cake and eat it, too. Rivers used; for sewer purposes are not the place in which to grow clams or oysters! safe to eat. | But between rigid economy andi Wwild extravagance there is a golden meoan of moderation which wives may follow not only to the advantage of their husbands’ business but to the in estimable benefit of the nation, as seris the New York World.

As a result of the vigorous came paign against oleo in Philadelphia, it ' is announced that the demand for the | material has been cut down the past | year, The State Commissionere, notes the American Cultivator, have visited | 225 hotels, restaurants and boarding | houses, collected samples, and prose- | cuted the “managers wherever oleo wag found to be sold or served as butter. At one time the oleo trade was very active in Philadelphia be cause of a combination among large , distributers and many of the dealers | for distributing the product, but the vigilance of the State officials has thoroughly broken up the business of substitute selling. One hundred and forty prosecutions are pending in the courts and many fines and sentences have been imposed; a good lesson to tricky dealers elsewhere. | Fiction is declining as poetry has declined, laments the Christian Reg ister, There are no continuers of Jane Austen, or even Mrs. Gaskell, “Pride and Prejudice,” “Mansfield Park,” and “Emma,” and Mrs. Gas kell's “Cranford” still stand alone, examples of the simple, common life filled with everyday people, such as we all know, have loved and laughed at and with and wept over, people en tirely themselves, without exaggera tion or pose. You may say the im mortal youth of Jane Austen is a wonder of literary history. Some there are who call her hopelessly dull “and uninteresting, but such a judg ment leads us at once to condemn the critic. Nothing can shake her from her pedestal in the affections of her lovers. It is this deeply humans tinctured fiction, this true contems porary record of men and women taken not by flashlight, but by piain daylight, that the world after its dee bauch of sensationalism would now welcome, sick, as it may be judged, "of the labyrinthine, purposely obe scure, and the too transparently iy decent.

In other words, the 54 counties want 88 per cent of all the convicts the state expects to have in the peniten tiary next April, | The number of “overs” requested is 58 per cent of the whole number to be disposed of under the law. Of the 54 counties heard from 42 want their quota and more, whllet only 12 ask for their quota alone, ‘ . Chatham and DeKalb counties are the biggest bidders. The former, un der its quota, is entitled to 71 con- | viets, and it wants 129 men to make’ the total number 200.

Captain R. E. Park, state treasurer of Georgia, estimated that the deficit confronting the treasury will not be less than SBOO,OOO, and may reach $1,000,000, Provision to meet this burden, in ad dition to the regular state budget of something like $5,000,000, must be] made by the Joseph M.

Augusta School Children Get But Three Days Christmas Vacation. Augusta, Ga.—The school childrehn of Augusta are up in arms over the curtailment of the Christmas holidays, The board of education resolved that there should be but three days holi day at Christmas, This action was taken because four school weeks were lost at the beginning of the session on account of water comditions follow ing the flood.

It has taken long and expen sive geries of experiments to preduce this resistant type, but this important work has at last been aecomplished, and the department announces that it has a limited amounbol?thg.seed on hand.
