SOLD BY chas. l. cutting The Druggist. tiyttJUiiifc i': Catalog Houses Flood The Country With Catalogs The mailing of fall catalogs by mail order houses In Chicago began Aug st 12. Postmaster Campbell said that day's Installment was the first of nlue thousand tons of such mall which will leave Cbioago before September 1. The mall order houses have submitted estimates of the amount of extra mall ing which they expect to do. "To gain an idea of how much mail this Is,'' said the postmaster, "forty ilvo trains of ten cars each will be required to carry It out of the city, each car can talning twenty tons. Couuting seven ty feet to a car, the tralus would cover a distance of over six miles if placed end to end." Under ordinary conditions from seven hundred to nine hundred tons of mull is sent out each day from the city. Everybody knows that mail of this olass is carried by Uncle Sam for Jess than cobt. The loss on these ulno thousand tons of catalog is paid by the public. Everybody knows also that those 352333-3S2. W guarantee it against loss. m m W to to -ft catalogs will bring thousands upon thousands' of orders for millions ot tons of merchandise that will in time bo carried by Undo yum via Parcel Post, also lit less Hum cost; and this loss, likewise will be paid by the people. Everybody knows also that very little of tho inouoy paid for this merchandise over goes back to tho community whole it Is produced. On the eon tniiy, as tecently published figures regarding the o.vnoislilp of mall order houses showed, most of this money from the rurul community goes into the pockets of Wall Street millionaires and billionaires. So far as the rural communities are concerned, the money would better be burned or hurried. They can't get it back, they can't borrow it next year or any other year when they need it to move their crops or build up their communities. Money sent to a mail order catalog house never will build a rural school, roads or pay the piemiuma for a Farm ers' Instttute. But if instead it were paid to local merchants for merchand ise just as good or better and just as cheap or cheaper than can be bought by mail, the local merchant would in turn deposit his surplus and profits in the home bank, and next fall when Mr. Rural Citizen wanted to borrow money to finance his business he would not be turned down. Neither would he be begging for goverumout aid iu securing credit as nt present. The laws of finance and trade are not turned aside at the whim of the ignoramus who habitually ignores or defies them. The man who persists in sending money out of his community contributes his mite toward depriving Ids community of just the surplus It needs In time of stress, at tho same time that he helps to concentrate in the large cities the wealth and power that ultimately will eoaapass his de struction. American Lumberman. There were sixteen sacks of these catalogs received here the last of the week by Postmaster Hacker aud were distributed by the rural Jmall carriers on their routes. Campaign to Save Corn Productive of Much Good The movement to.save corn for fod der, which has been waged by the newspapers of the state for the past two weeks, has been productive of much good. Reports to the Omaha liureau of Publicity, from every part of the btutc, say that farmers are gen erally storing their corn in silos. Meetings held In Seward, Central City and Beatrice were attended by many farmers, who showed their in terest iu the methods of saving corn for feeding purposes. This campaign demonstrates what the newspapers and farmers can do by co-operation. It nieaus a big saving to the state. 4 Newspaper That Gives The Mens Fifty-two Necks Each Year For $1.50.

Fuller for a system of sewerage for this city are in the clerk's oflice. A very fair presentation of them has al ready been published in the columns of the Argus, and the matter Is ready for public dlBOUsalon. It does not seem necessary to refer to the parti culars of the system with more detail at present As a whole the measure commends itself to the Chief. It seems as if the general features of it must be observed in any feasible scheme. We are ad vised that Mr. Puller is a very com petent gentleman for the work he has undertaken, The Chief is strongly in favor of the adoption of a system of sewerage ut the ourliest possible date. We should like to see the Council take up the matter ut the uext meeting, adopt the plans of Mr. Fuller and call an election for tho issuance of bonds. The need of the city for sewers is rapidly becoming imperative. Under the circumstances there is no point in delay. Rather the conditions favor the beginning of the work as soon as may oe. xnero are many or our people out of work at present, and more will be. The failure of the crops, while it stints the farmer in his ex penditure, should be the occasion for the expenditure of money by the city, when that mouey is obtained by the sale of bonds. Hard times are the times to vote and issue the bonds which will be paid in good times. Meanwhile our laborers can be put to work. Again the cess pools In various parts of the city will soon require to be cleaned out, while all of them are ap proaching a more or less dangerous condition. Opportunity should be furnished as speedily as possiblo for the drainage of tho refuse Into later als connecting with the main system. Again tho sooner the sewerage Is provided, the sooner will the private wells of the city be secured from the danger of contamination. The city engineer informs us that tho water in the private wells of tho city is on very different levels. Wo had supposed that the wator level will practically uniform throughout the city, Uui this does not seem to lo the case. Under this mistake, it had bee; thought that any contamination of the water would lu time all'oot all tho wells. This may not bo tho case. It nny be that with n system of sewer age, the ma joiity of the private wells In the city could he piesorved serine ft Olll eoii'iiptlon.

Irrigation In Humid Sections The drouth which has prevailed in many parts of the East this season has caused a large demand on the Depart ment for information as to the cost and possibilities of irrigation. The Irrigation Investigations of the Office of Experiment Stations -employs two men in the East whose time is devoted to advising farmers and truckmen as to the kind of equipment needed, the cost of installation and operation, and the method of applying water to crops. Most of the wuter used for irrigation in the East is pumped from streams or wells by Individual users, gasoline engines being used most commonly for power. In the vicinity of Stanford, Flu., water is applied iu underground pipes. The soil is underlaid by an Impervious stratum aud is of such a character that tho water spreads rapidly latcraly and reaches the plant roots. Where simi lar conditions do not exist this system is not recommended, For truck crops which are planted bo close that horse cultivation is not J practicable the overhead bpray is re commended. A system of perforated pipes, fitted with nozcls, placed high 'enough to allow of cultivation under 1 neath, Is Installed. Tho pressure neces 'sary for spraying the water Is obtained J by pumping the water into a tauk ele NUMBER 3(5 vated sntllclently to give tho necessary pressure, or by pumping direct into tho mains. For field crops or orchards-, or any thing that Is plautod in rows far enough apart to allow of making furrows be tween the rows, surfaoe application of the water is rooomended. This Is much less expensive than the other svatam. as It requires less equipment and less power, since the water Is destrjbuted by gravity rather than nnder pressure". The men referred will gladly give advice as to the system best adapted to the needs of anyone applying for it, and the kind and cost of equipment.
