The woman’s c¢lub of Derby, this state, Is not the only body of women recognize what a nuisance and menace to health is the throwing around of bills and dropping at the door of sample packages for ev- erything from predigested food to powerful eathartic pills: but they lead n making such action a penal offense, by having an ordinance adopted which mikes it subject to a $10 fine to leave anything at a business place 6r on private premises without first having sbtained the consent of the owners, and these vigorous restrictions are likely to be adopted elsewhere, The worst habit is the distribution »f samples of patent medicines which small children are very likely to pick p and eat without being aware of e hurtful nature of their contents, children have been seriously pois ned from t innocent looking small trial parcels. This is a nuisance which should be bated at the soonest possible moment. PERSISTENT ENEMIES OF THE BIRDS. looks strange to see the enemies of the birds trying to get through the Massachusetts legislature a law per- mitting the killing of wild birds at 1 time when a tremendous effort is being made to get congress to pass a national law which shall protect bird- ife for the common good. Tt is a fact that these enemles of the birds are by their destructive acts the enemies of man, for the bird are need- ed to keep reduced to a minimum th P of which man is constantly com plaining: and which are more numer- than in any preceding age now se these useful ast twp centuries ha man in untoid tho ated A ture seen des ands p. in the oyed and rele- in i he: Man some respes vandal who persists n remaining ignorant of his own in- The women who wear dead birds and bird plumage on their hats have in w the emblems of their own lack knowledge and thoughtlessness.

Their declaration was that the tariff wall shut out foreign trade and was an to the inter- ests of the people The government report for the tar- iff' vear ending on June 30th, 1913, shows that our foreign trade reached ts highest point in the histary of the country with the biggest trade balance in our favor ever known. Every democrat should réad these figures carefully, for they are mot like- v to be repeated under President Wil- injury son, or any other democratic presi- dent: Wae spent abroad $1,812,000,000, and we sold goods to the amount of $2.405,000,000, which made the balance of trade in our fayor $: 00,0001 When the democrats have knocked t the tariff and have business down where do they expect to obtain a showing from like this? Do they think that the Wilson near-free-trade com- petitive tariff will make this kind of a showing? The Bulletin dares predict that it will knoc out this grand trade bal- ance and give our markets to for- cigners, thus increasing our imports, decreasing our exports, and turning the balance of trade against us.

FAVORITE® BEFORE THE PEOPLE. The pelitical factions en the repub- llcan side have begun te put forward ki PUTTING this state for the censideration of the voters, Last week the friends of ex-Con- gressman Ebenezer J. Hill named him @s & prospective candidate for guber- natorial honors, and there is ne dls- puting that his great service to his party In congress and at home leave no doubt ag to his ability to guide the affairs of state wisely should he be the choice of his party for the place, The leading republicans of Hart- ford and the eastern part of the state have named ex-Congressman John Q. Tilson as @ possible candidate. Col. Tison has had a brilllant career as a repubiican and represented his state two terms in congress. He doesn’t en- thuse much over the prospect. He sald to an interviewer: “This boom is an entire surprise to me. The first I heard of it was when people approached me on the street today and told me they had heard that T was put forward as a possible candidate for governor. All who spoke to.me said they hoped that I would be- come the republican candidate and promised to support me. As for tend- ing to my ‘fences’ it's entirely too early for anything like that. You must remember that hot weather booms Of the two men named Col. Tilson is the favorite among republicans in this part of the state, although Mr. Hill has strong friends and support- ers here. THE NEEDS OF A GROWING CITY. It matters not how fast a city is growing, or how thrifty it is, it is al- ways in need of something more— there is something which can be added to make it more helpful or enjpvable to fts residents. Tt fe in the power ‘of man to mar the natural beauty of any place by his penuriousness, lack of judgment or lack of taste. The busiest city must have its expensive attractions for visitors and for the information and elevation of its own people. The busy man and woman as well as the idle want some- where to go in their leisure moments and the library, the park, the museum, the zoo and the art gallery really be- come necessities to the people. This is what has given rise to city planning commissions to promote the health and ethical side of city devel- opment, to advise for a picturesque development of new sections, to sug- gest corrections of old errors, and to advise in the matter of beautifying the streets or the parks. In these dayvs no place can be pretty enough. In city building everything which delights the eye as well as improves the mind or promotes the health is a good asset, and ‘those who attend to this give impetus to the spirit of en- terprise and permanence to every ad- vance made.

In ad- ditton to appropriating $4,700,000 for the State University, the legislature made the following notable enactments A million dollar addition to the State distributive fund; a certificating bill that put Illinols in the front rank, ac- cording to Btate Superintendent Blair. a free high-school tuition act, . long elamored for: a law permitting local school boardg to levy 2 per cent in- stead of 11-2 per cent for operating expenses, when authorized by vote of the people: and the creation of the po- sition of State high-school inspector at 34,000 a 3 A Good Reason. : “Why didn’t these people pursue their study in looking up their family tree?’ “] guess because too many of their ancestors were found hanging or the branches.” their favorites for the governorship in | Vo, indeed.

I ought te knew it by thls time even in the dark.” “But the woods, Martha.” A quick flush mounted to the girl's cheeks, and @ note of deflance rang in her voice as she spoke. “You seem to think me & coward, Bera Jones, but I'd like to know once in my whole life when I was a 'fraid cat,! I tell you I'm not scared of anything in the whole State of Maine. “Very well, Martha. There always has to be a first time, though, If you change your mind, come back and I'll be at your servic “Thanks, Cousin, but I shan't” and alone the girl started on her home- ward journey as the darkness began to settle down over the Oxford hills. By the time she had reached the woods, the grass-grown road, closely shaded by tall trees, was but dimly outlined in the fading ilght. Yet Mar- tha had not fear of losing her way. She | could have followed that familiar road even at midnight. Occasionally above the sighing of the pines, she heard the soft twittering of robbins, the hoot | of an owl, or the dropping of a dry | twig, as a squirrel frisked along over- head, and the dark wood seemed less lonely because of their presence there, Martha had reached the heart of | the forest when a wild cry rang out from far back in which she had already passed. She stopped a moment to listen, but the cry was not repeated, and at her usual pace she walked on toward home. By- and-by she heard a sound which. though indistinct at first, she soon recognized as the cracking of dead branches. Thump, thump, thump! Why should her heart beat so loud! Scared? What was there to be scared of in these woods through which she had gone | hundreds of times? Yet in spite of this self-addressed scolding Martha felt something won- derfully akin to fear until suddenly she thought of those cousins of hers. She might have known they would make her prove the statement of her bravery. Yes, she remembered now that mischief lurked in Ezra’s brown eyes and that Walter had grinningly listened to the conversation between his elder brother and Cousin Martha. They were creeping along by the road- side planning to spring out at her by and by with another of those unearth- Iy vells. They should iearn, however, that hers was no idie hoast. To show her bravery, she began to sing. There was a slight moving of the the - woods through | underbrush only a few ¥ ‘behind her, but unwavering the flowed en, Bhe had almost reached the of the woods when she thought she heard a heavy breathing coming from @ near-by thlnka%'l'hl boys were :lm upou her now, They must know by thls time that she had heard their stealthy appreach, They mugt know, too, that she was not a coward; but to make the more cortain their convic- tions she walked calmly on, still sing- erhaps the boys were a bit ashamed of themuselves for trying to frighten & girl, for they did not appear at fil. When the woods were past she broke into a merry little ditty, which plainly sald. “I told you so*’ But the last straing were lost to the night by the lamming of the farmhouse door. Next morning as Martha was prepar- Ing breakfast she was surprised to see her brother standing in the doorway, pale and wide-eyed. “What s the matter, Philip?” she asked. “Are you ill?* “No—but—but it’s lonesome down there in the potato patch, I don't like to stay down by those woods all alone.” | “Shame on you!" Martha's expres- sion was even more scornful than the words. “If mother will watch the bis- cuit, I'll go back to take care of a big 12 year old boy who's scared of the Woods even in‘the daytime,” and to- gether sister and brother went down | to the potato patch. 1 “Now you see there isn’t a thing to be scared of,” remarked the girl, as, seated on a rock, she looked calmly | of_over the beautiful landscape. Philip, too, was beginning to fear his | imagination had plaved him false when ! |a strange cry came from the wood. | Martha started. | That's the same sound I heard last night,” she, said. “I supposed it was Ezra and Walter trying to scare me, but I must have been mistaken. Come Philip, we will tell father about it.” That afternoon men, women and chil- |dren from all the country around | flocked to the Heald place to examine | the largest panther that had been seen | in Oxford county for many a day. As Martha looked at the ugly form stretched out on the barn floor she shuddered as she thought how barely she had escaped a horrible death. Then turning toward her father with an ex- pression half serious and half playful | she said: “Father, you must never | again scold me beca 1 love to be | singing all the time. Uncle Amos tells me that panthers are fond of music. Maybe if T hadn’t charmed that awful | | ereature with my voice you wouldn't 'll;a\e had any Martha today.”—Boston ost. OTHER VIEW POINTS e — e | Although persons of foresight might have known how hot the weather would be now, some people were so rash last spring as to atart gardens.—Hartford ost. Congressman_Underwood may raise minor_points of issue between himself and Senator McLean. We are mnot worrying about the senator's ability to take care of himself. But the fun- damental question is this: If Mr. Un- derwood had told the people of Con- necticut specifically what changes in the tariff were to be made, such as the pending bill will make, do you suppose the voters would have given the state to Wilson or elected any one of the unique five democrats who rep- resent us at Washington? If you do, you are widely mistaken.—Hartford | Courant, These are hard days for firemen and policemen, with two deaths of police- men in a week and firemen facing death in some of the worst blazes of the year. The service in both de- partments is beginning to have ear- marks of service in larger cities. These very risks of their work should be the chief motive for the men to recognize the need of the greatest dis- cipline and cooperation for the benefit of the service, for it is the man who is a shirker and a trickster who is of the least service to a comrade in times of real danger.—Waterbury Republi- can. It was only as recently as 1902 that the exports of automobiles from this country became sufficlent to justify the keeping of a separate record of this class of merchandise, the figures for that year being less than one mil- lion dollars. In 1907, five vears later, they were but six million dollars and in 1910 approximately twelve million dollars in value. The number of cars exported to foreign countries in the fiscal yeor 1913 was twenty-five thou- sand, against seven thousand in 1910 and o little less than three thousand in 1907, the first year in which number was stated in the export rec- ords of the country. The average price at which they were evported was about $1,700 each in 1907. The 1913 exports cluded about one thousand commercial automobiles at an average | valuation of $1,800 each and twenty- | four thousand other cars at an aver- age price of about sonia Sentinel. OUR DRY TERRITORY. Half the Population Lives in It, Yet U. 8. Drinks More Beer. Tt is generally thought that Germany drinks more beer than any other na- tion in the world. This is a mistake. Germany comes second. The United States consumes 1,851,000,000 gallons of beer each vear, whick is a hundred million gallons more than Germany's consumption. Russia leads the world in its use of distilled liquors, and the United States comes second, with its consumption .of 133,000,060 gallons. Although the United States is first as a beer-drinking nation and second as a consumer of distilled spirits among the nations of the world, the liuor dealers of America are having a des- perate fight for the life of their traffic The saloon has beea expelled from one-half of the population and from two-thirds of the geographical area of the countr In 1868 there were 3,600,- 000 people living in territory where the drink traffic_had. been outlawed; in 1900 the number had increased to 18,- 000,000; in 1908, or only eight years after, the number had doubled to 36,- 000,000, and today there are 46,029,750 persons, or a fraction over onaie-half of the population of the country, living in no-license territory. In the last five vears the mno-license population has increased a little over 10,000,000, which is more than 10 per cent. of the total population of the nation and 30 per cent. increase in the number living in “dry” distriets. Since 1868 the nopuia- tion of the country has doubled, while the pumber of inhabitants of “dry” territory has increased over thirteen- fold.—From the Review of Reviews. EXHIBITS ABRAHAM’'S PLOW Patriarch's Agricultural Implement Portrayed on Brick. The University of Pennsylvania has just discovered that it owns what is helfeved to be the first picture of the plew invented by Abraham centuries dgo. According to the Egyptologists at the museum, their transiation of the hieroglyphics show that Abreham was the progeniter of ths narvest trust, While plews undoubtedly were used before the time of this invention, the Abraham plow is a cembination seeder and planter, and, according to the in- the | $1,000 each.—An- | scription on the picture, three men Wwere necessary to operate it.
