Laborer Wins Prize Offered by
Lincolnshire Agricultural
Society.
GIVES HIS WIFE ' CREDIT
Turned Over o Her Every Penny of
His Wages and Allowed Her .
to Do All the
Baying;.
LONDON. Aug. 10.-"I bve had -3
children, and have come to tha eonclu
Ion that a man Is much happier and Dei
ter oft with a family than without one.
Such wa the opinion expressed by
George Farmery, a hale and hearty Lin
colnshire man who. In spite of his 67
years, waa actively engaged in haymaK
in near his home at Hemswell. near
Gainsborough.
Farmery was awarded the first prise
of $20 offered by the Lincolnshire Agri
cultural Society to the farm laborer who
has brought up and placed out the great
est number of children without having
received parochial relief.
"I have never earned more than e.n a
week." Farmery continued, "and my
average wage is only half a crown a
day. so that I can only reckon on 13.75.
"Sometimes I have Only had 55 cents
a day. but I have always been happy
and contented with my wife and chil-
"l"have been twice married. By my
first wife I had ten children, and by my
second one I have had eight boys and
five girls. '
"Has it been a hard struggle to bring
them all up? Well, we have had our
trials, but on looking back I do not re
gret them.
Never Smokes Nor Drinks.
I do not smoke and I do not drink,
and I have always given my wife every
penny of my. wages, and she haa done
the buying.
"I have never had a cottage rent free,
like some men, and have not had a great
deal of garden either, but still enough
just to grow a few potatoes and vege
tables. .
"Our staple food haa been bacon, and
bread, with, perhaps, a little fresh meat
once a week, but I have never been
much struck on butohers' meat.
"Then I have had to pay as much aa
ninepence and tenpenee a week In years
gone by for my children's schooling; now
I do not pay anything.
"No. I have never spent anything on
amusement at all. It seems to me that
that Is where young people In big towns
waste their money.
"Tha- only places I have ever been to
outside Hemswell and Faldingsworth, the
place where ,1 waa born, are Gainsbor
ough, Lincoln. Manchester, Market Rasen,
Thorncastle. and Gulseley, near Leeds.
"I have lived In Hemswell about 30
years, and have never had a halfpenny
from the parish. When the children got
old enough, of course, they all went out
to work and brought a little home, and
that helped us to get along."
Mrs. Farmery then told how she had
made both ends meet on the modest
wage which her husband brought home.
Lesson In Domestic Economy.
"WaU vo nav 153 75 a vear for our
cottage," she said. "Then, every week I
buy two stone of flour, which comes to
76 cents; a quarter of a pound of tea,
10 cents; five pounds of sugar, 13 cents;
one pound of lard, 13 cents; one pound
rice. 4 cents; one pound currants. 8
cents; coal, 36 cents. That accounts for
about $2.30 a week.
"We keep a pig, so I art not counting
the bacon. Then there are the clothes
and other things to pay for, so that there
is not much left out of IBs.
"I have always had some little chil
dren at home, generally about ' six.
"My advice to young people Is, do not
get married until you are both well be
tween 20 and 30 years of age."
Farmery said that although he waa
married rather young, he thought that
nowadays 30 was a good age for a man
to marry and 26 for a girl.
"But," said he, with a wise shake of
the head as he leaned on his hayfork,
"they might .start earlier if they knew
eacb other well. It all depends on how
they get on."

Officials of the Musicians Mutual As

No definite action has been decided
upon by either faction since the ruling

threats of further trouble.

LAND BOARD TO HOLD SALE
Improvement Work Will Be Fin
ished In Time to Per

BOISE. Idaho., Aug. (Special.)
Close to 15.000 acres of new land, segre
gated by the Carey act. is about to be
thrown open for settlement between the
towns of King Hill and Glenn's Ferry.
Idaho. This- tract lies along the main line
of the Oregon Short Line and borders the
Snake River for a distance of 20 miles. It
lies in a cove, surrounded by hills vary
ing from 1000 to 1600 feet higher. The
opening days has been set for October
12 and the sale of the lands will be under
the direction of the State Land Board of
Idaho.
The owners of the land. Kings Hill Irri
gation & Power Company, acquired the
project from the old Glenns Ferry Land
& Irrigation Company, obtained new con
tracts from the state last May. under the
Carey act. segregating the 15.000 acres
and allowing an additional 6000 acres of
private holdings to be watered. The land
includes the towns of King Hill and
Glenns -Ferry.
The company has acquired the Malad
River water rights, providing a minimum
flow of 1100 second feet, sufficient to give
splendid Irrigation for over 100.000 acres.
The water la exceptionally pure and
adaptable alike for Irrigation and do
mestic purposes. The waters of this
river are oonveyed over the Snake by
means of an inverted siphon pipe, six
feet in diameter, on a steel truss bridge,
supported by concrete piers.
C. H. Hammet, president of the com
pany, formerly of Kansas City, states
that by opening day the greater part of
the construction work will be completed
and water will be on the land. This will
enable settlers this Fall to prepare their
land for the following Spring, losing no
time after establishing their rights.
The opening of the tract promises to be
an event in the history of the Snaka
River country.

TRAP-POOR USED IN RAID
Officers Enter Through Ceiling and
Arrest 17 Gamblers.
Detective Kay and Patrolman Kein
letn, known in months gone by in po
lice circles as the moral squad,
"dropped in", on Chinatown last night,
or as much of Chinatown as could
comfortably squeeze into the gam
bling rooms in the rear of th first
floor of 67 Second street, four doors
from the police station. They not only
visited this resort, now famous among
the followers of chance In Chinatown,
but literally "dropped in" on the play
ers. Having found it impossible to gain
access "from the first floor, they locat
ed a trap door In the celling and let
themselves down among the astonished
Orientals with a suddenness that pre
cluded the possibility of their hiding
the $145.65 which lay upon the tables
awaiting the official count of the fan
tan beans.
Caught red-handed, the slant-eyed
players for the first .time in police his
tory lost their composure. They were
usable to understand how the officers
had managed to Invade their resort.
"It doesn't make any difference how
we got in," roared Kay, "we're in here
and so are you and you can't get out."
Whereupon he and Kelnleln surround
ed the players and marched them Into
the police station.
There were 17 of the youths, and
they gave the name of Ah with re
markable regularity. The honor of the
Ah family was upheld by the double
sets of twins, Ah Jim and Ah Jim, and
Ah Sing and Ah Sing, together with
Ah Lee, Ah Louie, Ah Gow, Ah Charley,
Ah Yen, Ah Bum, Ah Joe, Ah Gong, Ah
Chung, Ah Sam, Ah John and their two
comrades Bah Tea and Chin Jim. They
were all bailed out by the . unknown
proprietor, who feigned ignorance of
questions put to him in English.

FINE APPLES ON HILL SOIL
Fruit Sever Fails on Washington
County Uplands.
HILLSBORO, Aug. 15. (Special.)
Analyses from the Oregon Agricultural
College go to show that the soil on
Washington County's hill lands is es
pecially adapted for apple and prune
raising. This is borne out by aotual
experience in the hills, many home
steaders having fine crops of each
when there are light crops in the val
leys and plains. These lands also raise
the best Burbank potatoes to be found
in the market, and always get a better
price In the San Francisco market than
potatoes raised on lower ground.
There are yet thousands upon thou
sands of acres of good hill lands cov
ered with vtrgin timber.

BLUE UWTO BE ENFORCED
SUNDAY SALOOXS IX ATLANTIC
CITY ARE DOOMED.
Xew Jersey Governor Will Compel
Grand Juries to Indict
Rumseliers.
TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 10. Although
no one can say surely at the present
time what steps will be taken to compel
the officials of Atlantic County to en
force the bishops' law and other excise
statutes, it is a certainty that Governor
Fort will make some recommendations
to the end that Atlantic City be not left
in the position of nullifying the will of
the Legislature.
Atlantic City saloon problem is similar
to the conditions which existed in Mon
mouth County when Justice John J.
Fort was, in office and the grand Juries
would not Indict for gambling. .
Justice Fort met the difficulty by order
ing the grand Jury to stay in session until
they had Indicted gamblers. It is possible
for the Presiding Justice in a county to
keep the grand Jury in session as long as
he believes there is business to be done.
And he can make life very unpleasant for
members of grand Juries by compelling
long sessions. In this way Justice Fort
broke down the forces that were keeping
grand Juries from indicting gamblers, and
he drove gambling out of Long Branch.
There were whispers here that Justice
Trenchard might follow the example of
Justice Fort, but of course no one can
predict anything of this kind with 6er
tainty. Certain It is that Governor Fort
has not forgotten how he drove the grand
Juries of Monmouth County to indict '
gamblers, and maybe he might suggest
to some of his legal brothers that they
might succeed to higher things if they
followed his example.
Jbe power of tha Governor over Prose-
mi tor Goldenber is only moral. He can
not remove him from office on his failure
to enforce the laws. Only the Legislature
could reach the prosecutor by impeach
ment, and everyone knows how politics
would be 'against any such proceeding.
Besides, the Prosecutor proclaims that
there have been arrests and cases taken
to the grand Juries, and the grand Juries
will not indict.
It is unlikely that Governor Fort will
remain passive under a situation where
his own appointees, prosecutor and Judge,
say it is impossible to enforce the
bishops' law. That would be unlike the
Governor. He Is likely to explode a bomb
in the Prosecutor's office on general
principles, and especially as the naming
of Clarence Goldenberg Prosecutor of At
lantic City is his own choice.
Apparently the hopes of those who
would like to see Atlantic City obey the
bishops' law and other statutes lies- in
the hands of Justice Trenchard, who
might keep the grand Jury in Atlantic
County in session for many weeks from
October 2, the date on which they organize.
OPPOSE BIG ARMAMENT
Speakers at Peace Union Meeting
Condemn Large Army.
MYSTIC, Conn., Aug. 15. President
Roosevelt and some of his policies were
severely criticised because of the "bar
racks policy," as It is known In Europe,
which requires the enlargement of the
Army and the building of a big Navy, by
the speakers at the forty-second annual
meeting of the Universal Peace Union at
Peace Grove here yesterday. Dr. William
I. Hull, of Swarthmore, Pa., who at
tended all of the sessions of the second
Hague conference in his address on "Lim
itation of Armament" referred at some
length to the proposal that the nations
come together and appoint an Interna
tional board. Dr. Hull quoted Admiral
Evans and President Roosevelt to the
effect that a large Army and Navy are
necessary to preserve peace, and indig
nantly denied that this was so.
Rev. Scott F. Horsey, of Newcastle, Pa.,
ridiculed the idea of the United States
having to go to war with Japan, and
criticised Congressman Hobson for "go
ing up and down the dountry making a
uisiuroance aooui mis matter.
