It deesn't make any difference how high prices get there are still men who #ell their hand many times every day, and who can manage to get 40 quarts “to the bushel, or underrun weights Just a half oynce from morning till night. One of the most difficult stunts ap- pears to be to be honest every minute in the day with ourselves as weil as with others. A wicked practice according to the sealer of weights and measures st Lynn, Mass. is that the packers make him buy secking, twine, paper, skew- ers and blocks at meat prices. This, the Lynn official says, has got to stop in_ his baillwick, i It is said that the move proposed by the Lynn sealer against the district ‘superintendents of the packers will be the first test of the net weight law in regard to beef, a law which requires that the product be sold without un- eatable trimmings, There ought to be more stringent regulations in the sale of edibles. The people who have their own scales and weigh their goods after dealers are not only protecting them- selves, but in a way are sustalning every lonest weight dealer in the com- munity. PANAMA CANAL TO OPEN FOR TRAFFIC, Col. - Goethals has given notice through the secretary, of war that the Panama canal will open for business two weeks from Saturday, Aug.. 15, for all vessels that do not draw over 30 feet of water, which shows this interocean canal is five feet shallower than the Cape Coa canal, just com- pleted, and which will be of such ad- vahtage to coastwise traffic bound for Boston and the northern New England coast. The Panama canal is doubtless open- €d for business four and one-haif Mmonths before it is celebrated by the nations to get it into practical work- ing order and to test the locks—in fact, to familiarize all engaged in operating it with their duties before the great marine parade and festival takes place. This will shorten the voyage from “the Philippines and the Indies by about 7.000 miles, and should prove of'ad- vantage to trade because of the les. sened cost of freights. WHY ARE EGGS 80 HIGH? Eggs are unusually dear for the time of year and the wonder s, what makes hen fruit take such an early start upward. This is the egg-nog season, but it is not likely that an inereased con- sumption has so much to do with it as a decreasing produetion. The hens are not to blame, for they -do nobly and have no way to defer the moult- ing season, which has already dawned, The demand for eg§s was never greater and it has been some time since fhe July supply was equal to the de- mand, Eggs are not lkely to go much Higher soon, for housekeepers resort to the water-glass reserve when the price gets a little more than 30 cents 2 dozen, It is too early to expect the cold storage ege to get a move on for that 15 not due until the frost is on the Pempkin, “The hen men are well pleased with ‘he price of eggs and broilers and al- though esgs may go to 60 cents a @omen before Thanksgiving they must pax trust prices for feed and do not ke a lirge surplis even at present Righ prices, ‘The bumble-bee that caused a chauf- to overturn his machine near .

It they umitedly deciine | Marie h take any risks it is apparent the. chances for accidents have been de- creased, to the least possible number. The safety appliance is a good thing, e “safety first” employe is what es the safety appliances depend- ble. It is not the instrurhent but. the man behind it that counts for weal or_woe, The' recent accident at Westport might have been averted by (“safety first” men. They are the right kind of men because their first principle is self-preservation and this carries with it ‘an assurance in effect upon the property of the company and its la- bilitles as well as for all who travel with them. : These “safety first” men would not haye to ery very loud for fair treat- ment at the hands of any.road to have public sentiment with them, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF LABOR. The Wilson administration is offend- ing organized labor by its methods of tendering employment to the un- employed in the navy yards. Men are wanted at the Charlestown navy vard to do electrical work on the cruiser Birmingham, and the govern- ment representative’s letter contains this paragraph: “Please state on the blank below the lowest rate of pay you. would ac- cept in the event of your being cer- tified for employment in the future,” ete. The electrical workers naturally pro- test against this method of exploiting | the idle in the interesis of economy. There is no record anywhere that the republicgns ever attempted to set idle craftgmien to bidding against one another in order to get work done below standard prices. It was popular for the democrats to loudly condemn a billion dellar con gress, but now this two billion dollar democratic combination opens up an | econemy which is intended to do the unfortunate man who is out of a job. | This is the workingman's party, but{ under such circumstances it ought to much enthusiasm.

The name of Capt Kidd is the most famillar of all the pirates who sailed the Atlantic in search of adventure, and more especially of plunder. Al-j though it is considerably more ~ than two cehturies ago that Kidd was co1- victed and hanged. and. while other pirates have been forgotten, he is still | recailed through an effort that is started every now and then to discover the burial place of his i1l gotten treas- ures.” From Nova Scotia all along the Atlantic coast of the United States | searching parties have been organized upon the strength of obtaining a new clew as to the hidden loot. Capt. Kidd was a Scotch navigator during the latter part of the seven- teonth century. Piracy was preva- lent on the high seas and a syndicate was formed for the purpose of destroy- ing the practice. Robert Livingston, a rich New York Merchant and lan owner, and Lord Bellomont, the En; lish_governor, were at the head of -he syndicate, and in looking about for a ! captain for their pirate destroyinz vessel their choice fell upon Kidd. So King Willlam sent a commission em- powered ‘“the well beloved and trusiy Capt, Kidd” to selze French and pi- rate ships at will. Kidd started off on the Adventurer, the adage “set a rogue to catch & rogue” did not work in his case, for ne’| pirato himself and looted and sunk all | the legitimate merchant ships he met. How many vessels Capt. Kidd and his crew plundered is hard to tell. Fin- THEN——an One hundred and eight years ago today ‘the first step was taken toward establishing the foreign missionary movement. On this day five students of Williams College gathered in a grove near the col- lege to hold -an open air meeting. The day was hot and oppressiv: In the midst of the meeting a ligh ning bolt flashed across the sky, ennouncing the approach of & thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting their . belongings, the _students sought shelter beneath a neighbor- ing haystack. Here they continued their discussions while the storm raged. Shouting to make himself understood above the thunder, the young leader, Samuel J. posed that they organize the Gospel among the That was the first step. Two years later Mills organized the “Society of Brethren,” requiring each of the five members thereof to solemniy dedicate his life as a missionary. Public_opinion being sgainst mi sions, the organization was kept jecret and its constitution . was drawn up in cipher. Six years had passed since the historic “Hay- stack meeting," whose location Is ndw marked with a monument, be fore the first five missionaries, four of whom were accompanied by their ‘wives sailed from Phila- deiphia for Indian upon the first American evangelistic campaign to . foreign lands. d—NOW More fhan 8,000 missionaries of both sexes from the United States, and 38,000 native converts acting as missionaries, are teaching the Christian faith throughout _th world. They have converted 1,500, 000 men, women and children in all 1ands, and are bringing 75,000 more into the fold every year. Uver 1,300,000 are learning the ways of Christianity in the 30,000 collezos, theological geminaries, training and Sunday schools that have been es- tablished by American mission- aries. The modern missionary is not only a spiritual adviser, but undertakes to cure physical ills as well. In the €00 hospitals and free dispensaries established jn foreign lands, it is estimated that 3,000,000,~ 000 treatments hayve been given by the 400 male and female - ductors making up the Foreign \issivnary medical staff. 1n times of famine they distribute huge sums of money The expenses of thi are enormous; but liberal as the United States. Last year the American people comtii- buted nearly $17,000,000 to promote the work, while all nations are spending about $35,000,000 to sup. port their 24,000 Christian and 112, 000 native misslonaties who have gathered over 6,000,000 adherents in the faith.

There had Deen a great excitement over the affair, and it was even insinuated that the king profited by Kidd's nefarious bus- iness, For a year was placed on trial. At the trial denied that he had ever consented to be a pirate, but claimed that his crew had bullied him | into it.

He was not allowed to present whatever evi- dence he had in his behalf.
