EDITORIAL
A SUGGESTION
Did any one ever hesitate long
enough to give our present reservoir
a little thought as far as improv-
ment is concerned? Did it ever
dawn upon any of you that inas-
much as it is supplying water for a-
bout 3,000 inhabitants twenty-four
hours each day, that it should have
every consideration?
The surroundings at the boro’s
basin could be greatly improved
(we refer to the boundary fences)
if a number of pine or spruce trees
were planted. This is being done at
so many places and serves two pur-
poses. The trees beautify and puri-
fy. Many towns have thousands
upon thousands of such trees plant-
ed on their boro or city owned
water sheds. They can be procured
from the State Forestry Commis-
sion for the asking and we think
those in authority here should at
least give this a little consideration.
LOOKING AHEAD
Another year has gone where all
other thousands of years have gone
—into the great past—most of them
forgotten, a few dimly recalled by
epitaphs on monuments. We have
now entered the new year with all
its love and happiness, its promises
of success and joy. Each year
brings marvelous changes in human
endeavor, in knowledge, education,
invention and civic systems. What
the next ten years may hold in store
for us no man can predict, but we
can and should fit ourselves to meet
every emergency. There is the
germ of the universe in every hu-
man soul. Cultivate it properly and
all souls will thrive. Cultivate it
improperly and not only ours but
other souls will be choked. Let's
get a mirror and look for the mote
in our own eye and seek it not in
the eye of our brother. Small as it
may be. the plucking out of that
fault will be a move toward self-
happiness and a start on the road
to a millenium for all,
A TIP TO FARMERS
Here's a tip to farmers. Be a big
executive. Put your farm on a busi-
ness basis and run it that way.
Form a company and sell shares.
LetTyour wife remain as manager
inside. Make the hired man out-
sid¢ superintendent. Appoint the
hired girl your stenographer. You
wili be able to dictate to her just as
successfully as you are now.
Learn to confer frequently with
yourself or at least sit behind a
door sone place even if you are not
thinking Have a golf course built
out in the pasture. Play on it
every day that the weather permits.
Acquire a tan. Do not work. Give
orders. Go to Europe occasionally.
Be sure to be interviewed at the
dock going and coming. Knowledge
of latitudes mot necessary on such
trips as long as you know your plati-
tudes. Let your wife, hired girl
and hired man run the business ex-
cept for watering the stock. You
and the scarecrow do that now and
then at director’s meetings. At the
nd of several years retire rich.
Is this not just as practical advise
as you get from many outsiders who
know nothing of the difficulties of
farming?

dy Industry Goes
Back to Hippocrates
hysicians among the ancient Greeks
amyl Romans utilized the bee's honey
reparing their medicines. In fact,
the| manufacture of candy traces its
ori, in back to the days of Hippocrates,
father of medicine, who lived in the
Fifth century B. C. In those days
doctors’ remedies for human ills con-
sisted of doses of bitter herbs. In or-
der to tickle the palate of his rich
patients, Hippocrates smeared a little
honey on the edge of the cup contain-
ing the potion, and later on coated his
pills with similar substances, thus com-
forting his patients and, no doubt, also
increasing his fees.
Little did Hippocrates think that he
was destined to go down to fame, not
only as the father of medicine but. as
one of the originators of the art of
candy-making.
From this quaint origin the candy
industry has progressed to such an
extent that it is now one of the
world’s leading industries. Its produec-
tion involves labor in all parts of the
world and employs every means of
transportation known to man.—Ex-
change.
Idea of Human Flight
Long in Minds of Men
The desire to conquer the air and
emulate the birds is no modern fancy,
but has agitated the minds of men
mechanically inclined for ages. Rec
ords of a meeting of the Royal so-
ciety, beld in London in 1679, giva
the information that “Mr. Hooke
read a paper containing a description
of the way of flying, invented and
practiced by one Mons. Besnier, a
smith, the contrivance of which con-
sisted in ordering four wings fold-
ing and shutting to be moved by his
hands before and his legs behind, by
which he was, It was said, able to
fly from a high place across a river
to a pretty distance.” One of the
members of the Royal society ap-
parently cast some doubt upon the
practicability of the invention: “Mr,
Henshawe conceived that by reason
of the weakness of a man’s arms for
such kind of motions, it would be
.much more probable to make a charl-
ot or such like machine with springs
and wheels, that should serve to car-
ry one or more men in it to act and
i guide it.”
Chrysanthemum
The name is from the Greek
chrysos, meaning gold, and anthe-
mom, meaning flower. In Christian
tradition, this flower is supposed to
have been born on the first Christ-
mas, being the token to the three
wise men that they had reached the
spot whither the star had bidden
them,
It is in reality, however, of Chinese
origin, and was made the official low-
er of Japan as early as the
teenth century. It symbolized per-
fection. It is now grown in more than
i 5,000 varieties, and it is so popular
In this country that men have paid
$10,000 for a fresh form of the Jap-
anese flower.
“Woodchuck” From Indian
“Woodchuck” as applied to the
groundhog, is not a compound of
“wood” and “chuck,” as commonly
supposed It is a corruption of the
Indian word “wejack,” “woodshaw,”
or “woodschoock,” a name applied to
this animal by hunters, trappers and
traders in the Hudson bay region.
Supposedly the word is derived
from the Cree ‘“‘otchek” or the Chip-
pewa “otchig,” which was applied to
the fisher by the Indians, but which
was transferred to the groundhog by
the whites. According to the bureau
of American ethnology, in the fur no-
menclature of the Hudson’s Bay com-
pany, the skins of groundhogs have
long been krown as “woodchucks.”
Doing Well
A’ householder had trouble with
the shower in his bathroom, and
plumbers were called in.
After an hour or more, hearing no
sounds of activity from the bathroom,
the householder proceeded to the
scene of operations. Opening the
door, he found the plumber and his
mute seated on the bath, engrossed
in a copy of the evening paper.
“Well,” he said suspiciously, “how
are you fellows getting on?”
“Fine,” said the plumber, remov-
ing his pipe. “We've got a couple of
winners this afternoon.”—London Tit-
Bits.
Work Up to a Carpet
The junior clerk in the British
navy begins his official life in a very
bare office, with a hard chair to sit
on, and a writing table that is noth-
ing but a collapsible shelf. There
is no place to keep his papers, no
carpet on the floor.
His next promotion is to a table
with a couple of drawers, but it is
not until he has gone several rungs
{ up the ladder and in receipt of a sal-
ary exceeding £300 a year that he
can claim a real desk with lockable
drawers.
Only officials in receipt of at least
£1,000 a year are allowed carpets in
thair raan.

Salunga, entertained at supper on
