TREES COSTLY, FARMERS SAY Campaign to Alter Bi itisti Scenery

Stirs Ire of Soil Tillers

Loudon A campae:n to alter the scenery of Die whole face of England ha - boon much dii cut -. .i and in fact,

begun by farmers.

Quite a violent proii-.-t against hedges and hedge limbei was made by an annual meeting of the Hertfordshire farmers. One man estimated that every tree cost him i 1 a yeai Nothing grew at all within range of its roots The tie.- simply stood iheic ‘‘eating its head oft" and benefiting neither landlord nor tenant. A well known Hampshire farmer regards the hedge as a waste of ground, a nursery of weeds and a hnrborcr of grain eat ing sparrows and rats A farmer of about three hundred acres estimated a direct loss of fifteen acres, say £20 a year, from hedge rows and trees, and an indirect loss of £12 by reason of Hie poor produce in their neighborhood. If the effect ol the hedge as a base for the operation of sparrows and vermin lie considered, al least another £12 would he added, making a total of £tt. or about one

fifth of the rent.

A definite suggestion for the taxa lion of every tree over a certain age has been suggested. The eredil side of the balance of the hedge and tree as a screen and a shade and a thing of beauty was barely maintained; and yet in some uarts of Britain the c.ov eminent is now planting trees for tinsake of a screen at the request of Die lanner! Who is right?

Of Interest to Women + + + Many Prominent Women Give their Viewii on Professor Armstrong's Statements Mrs. Belmont Asserts that it is Nol Right lo Create a Situation One Cannot Meet

Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont gave her views as follows on Die decrease in marriages as asserted by Prof. Edward Henry Armstrong in a recent address: "If our universal education is the cause of fewer marriages It proves that men are now Influenced by Judgment, that the self-supporting woman is self-reliant, that the union of tho two is founded on the intelligent consideration of the question. "I believe this need in nowise alarm the thinking part of our community. "No educated woman or man of the twentieth century can agree that it is f°r the advancement of civilization or the welfare of the community for the family to be larger than botli or either parent may provide for. "If motherhood is the highest duty imposed upon woman she must raise herself to Its standard. "I cannot believe It right to creato a situation one cannot meet. "We read that men like Prof. Annstrong are still clamoring for large families and are proclaiming the verdict of the Middle Ages, but, mark you, only so far as it relates to woman. “We wonder if women alone are to profit by this higher education. It would seem us if men like Die professor have failed to have grasped the great significance of it.” Mrs. Helen M. Waterman, of Cleveland, candidate for the Kepubllcan nomination for member of the Board of Education, discussing Prof. Armstrong's declarations said; "We must all admit that women ate not marrying so readily as a few years ago. As they become more educated, better able to analyze conditions as they see them, they hesitate to take the chance of virtually throwing their lives away. It is not Infrequent that women who Woman's Dilemma. Which?

This. have made their own way and are earning substantial salaries, marry men who later prove to be unable to support them in the manner they were able to live by their own efforts. Their friends observe tills and it has a discouraging effect upon the other worncii in no event would I concede lhai marriages are fewer because wives protest iigutnst the clinging arms of children." Misi June Addams, head of Hull House, Chicago, said; "Prof. Armstrong Is right In his statements about women to a certain extent. There are vain and frivolous girls who on the bettering of their clrruin stances demand so much from their prospective husbands and are so dis satisfied with the young men of their own class that they make poor wives Their idea of married life Is not ot motherhood, but of luxury and ease." Dr. W. B. Riley, a Baptist minister, of Minneapolis, also said that there was a strong disposition on lb** part of women not to bear children because it Interfered with their soel il and commercial affairs In life. "Women," he said, "are becoming more Independent owing to the num her of hjcratlve positions open for them, consequently they do not wan! to saddle themselves with home burdens or family ties that will Interfen with their commercial or social am bilious. The Indisposition to mater ulty Is growing among women and it Is hard to say what will be the out come of it all. It certainly is a serious matter. Marriage, In proporatlon to the population, Is on the decline, and while many women are willing to he married they do not wish lo be come mothers. The situation Is ap palling.”

There is little sleep, little rest, little peace for many a sufferer from kidney trouble. Life is one continual round of pain. A'ou can't rest at night when there’s kidney backache. You suite: twinges and "slabs" of pain, annoying urinary disorders, lameness and nervousness. You can’t lie comfortable at u'ork with darting pains and blinding dizzy spells. Neglect these ailments and serious troubles may follow. Begin using Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of disorder. Thousands have testified to their merit. Greencastle readers will find convincing proof in the following testimony: Mrs. W. M. Sears, South St., Danville, Ind., says: “For some time my kidneys troubled me. The least exposure caused pains in my loins and sides. 1 felt drowsy and had dizzy spells. On a friend’s advice, 1 used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they relieved me at once. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills with good results.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sears had.

When he at last appeared from around the corner she greeted him with the pointedly Ironical remark; "You postmen don't collect the mall oftener than once a week, do you? I been standing here until I am nearly frozen. I want to gel my letter back." What letter, ma'am?” "A letter I dropped Into the box that 1 don't want to go. I been thinking over a certain matter the letter refers to, and I have concluded that 1 don't want the letter to go, so you open me box and give It lo me quick us you can." "1 can’t do that, lady.” "You can’t You mean that you can't open the box?” "I can open the box all right, but I can’t give you hack the letter." ■ Well. 1 like that! You can't give me back my own letter? It's mine, Isn't it?” "It belongs to Uncle Sam after It gets Into that box and until It Is in tlie hands of the person you addressed it to, lady ” "lloshl Y’ou reckon I'm going to stand for any such nonsense as that? A great idea that I can’t have my own letter back! 1 can show you which letter it Is if you doubt my word II is In a lavender-tinted envelope with my monogram on the Hap, and "I ain't denying that you put Die letter into the box. I'm simply telling you that 1 have no authority to give It buck to you. You'll have to go to the postotlicc and see the postmaster If you want the letter." "Of all the nonsensical nonsense ever spoken that is the limit! Why. • It’s a good lwo miles from here to the postotflee, and I haven't any money with me for car-fare, for I live only a block or two away and have just come down here to get my letter, and I want it right away.” "Sorry, lady, but I have no discretion In the matter, and I can’t give you the letter ' "You needn’t he afraid of me telling on you. I guess 1 know when to talk or when to keep still.” "Then you’d better keep still now, or you might get arrested for trying lo get a postman to break the law.” "Break nothing' I don’t believe that it is the law, and if it is the law it is such a tool law that H ought to be broken. The idea that 1 can't have hack my own letter! 1 can prove to you that it is mine I’ll go into this apothecary shop with you and write the same address that's on the letter, and you will see that the handwriting is the same as Dial on Die letter. I can prove that ” “That isn’t the point, lady I don't doubt that there is a letter in the box that you wrote, but I couldn’t give them to you if all the letters In that box were yours It's against the law to ” “The law go hang!

TO TALK OVER SEA BY 'PHONE

Only Question of Time Before Gcience Will Overcome Pre* ent Difficulties. London In a lecture just delivered al Die Royal Institution. Dr. J A. Fleming. F R S., described the inventions which of late years have rendered possible a great increase in the distance of telephonic rominuul' cation and have permitted the use of submarine telephone cables over distances previously impracticable The lecturer explained that In the case of a telephone wire the shorter tlie wave length the greater the velocity with which the waves travel, w bile the amplitude of the shorter waves attenuates lo a greater extent than that of Die longer ones Hence, when, as a result, of speaking to a telephone tiansmitter. a com plex electromotive force is applied to the end of a cable the various simple harmonic waves into which Die Impulse may be resolved travel along the cable wilh unequal speed and attenuation Tlie short waves travel fastest, but are worn out soonest; hence the wave form is distorted. A remedy for the distortion of articulate sounds was first suggested by Mr. Oliver Heavyslde. who allowed mathematically twenty-five years ago how waves of all lengths could be made to travel at the same speed and attenuate at the same rate. An important advance was made hy Prof. Pupiu of Columbia College, New Y’ork, in 1899 and 1900, when lie proved Dial Heavyslde's suggestion can lie put 'uto practical form by loading the cable with colls of wire wound on ironwire cores, inserted at equal intervals, bul so close Unit at least eight or nine colls are Included In the distance of one wave length of Die average wave frequency, which Is always taken at 800. If the coils are placed further apart relatively lo the wave length they do more harm than good. Aerial lines, underground cables, and submarine ■ allies, can all he treated In this way. The longest aerial loaded line is Dial from New York lo Denver, 2,000 miles, which permits good speech between those places, and it is.the ambition of Ibo American Telephone and Telegraph Company to complete a loaded line Dial will rendei speech possible between New Y'ork and Sau Francisco, over 3,000 miles A Hue has just been completed between Berlin and Rome It runs overhead, except through Die Simplon tun nel with loading toils at every eight miles, and good speech is possible ovei Die whole distance In Ibis country the longest loaded lines are two trunk lines from Lon don to Leeds. 200 miles The general Post Office has now In operation 30,000 miles af aerial and underground loaded circuits, and 45,645 miles are in Die course of being loaded. As regards loaded submarine cables Die general Post Office has three one lo France, twenty one nautical miles long, one lo Belgium, forty-eight miles, and one to Ireland, sixty-four miles. A fourth, which Is now being manufactured, is to he laid from Suflolk to the nearest point in Holland. 125 miles. Broadly, loading has rendered it possible to double or more than double the distance of ef fective telephonic intercourse In regard lo wireless telephony. Dr Fleming said the arrangements are closely similar to those employed in wireless telegraphy, but in the base of the antenna, or coupled to It, must he placed a microphone, hy means of which the speaker's voice makes changes in Die resistauce of the antenna c.icuit. the result being to vary the amplitude of the waves emitted without altering their wave length The dlflieulty Is to obtain a microplume Dial will carry large high frequency currents. By the aid of au ingenious liquid microphone Prof Yanni of Rome lias transmitted speech for 625 miles Fessenden in Die United Slates lias telephoned a lew hundred miles, and Poulsen in Denmark, Colin and .leance iu France, Goldschmidt in Germany and Dltcham in England have covered greater or less distances. The lecturer concluded hy remark ing that we are yet a long way from telephony across the Atlantic, whether with cables or by wireless, but pro gress will continue to be made, and it is possible that some day speech transmission from England to San Francisco, with one repetition at New York, may he an accomplished fact.
