ate on this item, but it Is known that
In one of these cases, at least, a hu
man life was saved, that of a newly
born Infant, who without the aid of
the lungmotor would not now be en
joying the good health that it la. This
one case alone pays the cost of the
lungmotor, but It Is urged that the
physicians of the city and people In
general become more acquainted with
the value of the instrument, and not
hesitate when a chance arises to call
for It to assist in or save human life.
According to the report of the
chief, the work of the department Is
embodied in the following figures:
Value of buildings f 140,080.00

The report makes a splendid show

of the lire department during the past
year.
BDLL MOOSE LEADERS
CAN'T DELIVER VOTES
Attempt to Drive Progressive en
.Ma to Ib-publiiHU Fold in
An t tier Failure
Efforts to whip the Progressives
into line for Hughes, according to the
Chicago proM'um, have failed.
The stirring scenes at the meeting
of the I'rogiVfiwive state comiuiilee of
New Jersey, in Newark, wnen . the
Bull Moose holly resisted t tie at
tempts of certain leaders lo pledge
the party In thai state to the Repub
lican ticket , was a warning that Pro
gressives are not going to submit to
the destruction of their principles nor
to the barter of their voub.
By a vote of 7 to 5 the state com
mittee of New Jersey Progressives re
pudiated the action of the national
no.ly at Chicago, and will not bind
itself to its actions.
The managers of the president's
campaign feel that they have every
reason for giaiiiication with respect
u tUo Uuil Moose and Independent
volu. Hundreds ot letters and com
munications have been received at
he national committee headquarters,
the headquarters of the Woodrow
Vilson Independent League and at
i he White House from Progressives,
und Republicans as well, who declare
i heir intention to vote this year for
Wilson, "the man who has kept us
out of war."
Edgar C. Snyder, chairman of the
Progressive party in the State of
Washington, has written a flaming
denunciation of the Chicago coalition
and says: "I am supporting President
Wilson and feel thai all i rogressivea
should support him."
Ole liantton. one of the foremost
Progressives of the West, who was a
candidate for the United States sen
ate in the state ot" Washington, and
polled 83.282 votes, is supporting
President Wilson and vainly chal
lenging Senator Poiudexter to debate
issues.
From all parts of the country there
are cries of consternation from Pro
gressives over the manipulation of
their "leaders." Their bitter pro
tests at the treatment of their party
ul Chicago indicate clearly thui. they
will give their support to President
Wilson rather than to Mr. Hughes.
The Progressive party of New Jer
sey, as represented. by its state com
mittee, refused to Indorse the candi
dacy of Charles E. Hughes, although
a strong effort had been put forth by
Everett Colby, a pioneer Progressive
of the state, to swing the committee
that way.
When the meeting of the state
committee was held in Newark. July
15. J. A. II. Hopkins, chairman, led
the tight against endorsing Mr.
Hughes. A resolution was submitted
by Wm. E. Oonkling. of Blalrstown,
reciting that the delegates to the nat
ional convention at Chicago had ex
ceeded their authority by endorsing
the candidate of another party. The
resolution rurther said:
"Resolved, by the New Jersey
state committee. That the Progress
ive party of New Jersey will not be
bound by the action of the national
committee in indorsing Mr. Hughes'
candidacy."
This resolution was carried by a
vote of 7 to 5.
Chairman Hopikns read to the
committee a letter he hadswritten to
Col. Roosevelt recalling that the col
onel once had expressed the opinion
that Mr. Hughes might perhaps turn
out to be "another gold brick." This
letter caused much amusement
among those present.
Bruce McDonald returned Tuesday
noon from a trip to HcminKford und
other points.
Rev. Kay, who dVfiven-d a leiture
at the Methodist church last Friday
niKht. left Monday afternoon for his
home at Lyons. Mr. Ray will stop
off at Lincoln for a couple of days'
visit with friends.
FLOWERS FOR THE ROCKERIES
Makes an Attractive Substitute for ts
Flower Garden White Blossoms
Vtry Effective.
If rr ri rot rpace' e nouch for a
flower garden, or does not wish the
tare of a garden, a llttl. rockery will
be an attractive substitute and one
that Involves little labor In mainten
ance. A rockery of white bloBRoms In es
pecially effective. Here Is a combina
tion that Is easily grown: Sweet alys
sura, which blossoms profusely and
can b cut all summer: candytuft,
gypsophila and white portulacca. Do
not sow portulacra until the weather
Is warm and settled; but once under
way It Is a sturdy plant and needs
little care. All these flowers are hardy
annuals, may be sown from seed In
the spring and will flower during the
summer.
If the rockery Is to be permanent
It would be better to plant some per
ennlals. Kenllworth Ivy, a small trail
er that bears small lavender or pur
ple flowers, snd the helianthenum or
rock rose, which comes In various
coiors, are gooa selections. For a
yellow and white effect use, say, the
yellow dwarf nasturtiums and the yel
low portulacca. The nasturtiums
spread rapidly and flower profusely
during the greater part of the season
Dwarf morning glory Is a pretty vine
for rockeries, and the pink and white
flowers sre especially effective when
gTOwn with a mass of lavender flow
ers, rose-colored portulacca, rock rose,
Kenllworth Ivy, gypsophila and sweet
alyssum. .
VALUE OF SCHOOL GARDENS
Encourages the Child to Get
Close Communion With
Mother Nature.
Into
The value of school gardens In plac
ing the child In close communion with
Mother Nnture cannot be overestimat
ed. In tlicfc times of warfare we re
call the words of one v. river who
asked:
"What conqueror In any part of life's
battle could desire a more beautiful,
more noble or a more patriotic monu
ment than a tree planted by the hands
of pure and Joyous children?"
Ex-Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachu
setts said: "Let the children in the
public schools be taught that every
egg they take from the nests of the
birds means the loss of a little friend
of Massachusetts; means one less
winged crusader against the gypsy
moth, the brown-tall moth and the
crawling pests that destroy the food
of the people and the beauty of the
land. Save the trees! Save the birds
that we may save the trees!" In the
school gardens the children have some
very practical and often painful les
sons regarding damage to plant life
through destructive insects.
Take Care of the Parks.
Years and years ago the necessity
for presenting any extended argument
In favor of the ownership of extensive
parks by municipalities was obviated
It has come to be generally under
stood and appreciated that these out
door breathing places afford not only
pleasure, but profit, and that Instead
ot being a liability they are a very
valuable asset in the community
which nas them. To ho sure, those
who have automobiles or horses and
who can go out Into the country as
fsr and as often as they like are not
particularly anxious for these nearby
grass plots, and yet when they have
visitors they are sure to take them
there, and they point with pride to
these evidences of municipal enter
prise. Tbey oiifsht cheerfully tb pay
their share to provide these parka
for those whose lack of means pre
vents them from getting out into the
country at their will, and having an
hour or an afternoon In the sun or the
shade, in the fresh, pure air. There
is no other tax in town which ought to
be more cheerfully paid than that
which goes for parks. I'tica Tress.
Save the Trees.
The National Highway Protective as
sociation reports that two states have
adopted Its legislation to mitigate the
evil of defacing trecB, fences and
buildings along public highways with
advertisements. The states that have
shown this wisdom are Rhode Island
and New York. The measure Is not
drastic. It merely requires that no
advertisements can be placed on trees,
fences or buildings flanking highways
without the written consent of the
owner. A moderate penalty Is 1m
posed for violation. It Is not to bo
hoped that this will wholly prevent the
evil, but it will exercise a wholesome
check on its prevalence. Other states
might well follow the example, and
even more drastic legislation would
be in order

Due to the excessive runs and sharp
! Drenkj at other markets, gave buyers
a valid excuse for Doundinar nrieea
here. Some of the early shipping pur

er. The packers bought most of their
hogs at about a 15c lower basis than
at the close of last week. A good
