After three yeara he bought for 90,000

During the year of 1014 thla farmer

LEAF SPOT OF CUCUMBERS.
A Dlaeaae Quite Prevalsnt In Esstsrn
and Middle Stain.
The angular leaf a|>ot of cucumbers
la a dlaeaae quite prevalent throughout
tbe eaatern and middle weatern atatea.
Tt waa reported aa having Iwen pres
ent tbe paat year In Michigan, Indiana.
Wloconaln and New Tork, aa well aa
tbe provlncee of Ontario and Quebec,
in Canada. The dlaeaae ha a also been
reported recently from Maryland and
other southern atatea.
Tbe praaence of the dleeaae la indi
cated by angular, dry. brown apota on
the foliage, which by dropping out or
tearing give tbe leavea a ragged ap
pearance. Although tbe dlaeaae baa
been known for many yeara In tbe
Held and baa been conceded to be of
bacterial origin, heretofore no organ
km baa been named aa Its cause. Aa
a result of experimenta recently con
ducted by tbe plant pathologiata of the
federal department, however, tbe germ
cauatng the dlaeaae baa been isolated
It waa found that the dlaeaae is rang
ed by a bacterial organlam entering tbe
leaf through minute oriflcee In the out
er layer, wounda not being'neceesary
to permit Infection. Young etema may
become soft rotted or crack open, but
no direct connection baa been found
between tbe leaf a pot and tbe aoft rota
of tbe fruit. A heavy Infeetatlon, how
ever. oft«n materially reduces the crop
by deatroying tbe active leaf surface

Everybody Agrees Suffrage Is Bound to
Come—Year Opens With Great Promise
 11
By Mi* NORMAN DE R. WHITEHOUSE, Head of New York
State Woman Suffrage Party ',
rE year 191G qgens with the greatest promise for the suffragists.
Hitherto in predicting the outcome of the vote upon woman suf
frages in thiystatc we nad no solid basis upon which to go.
It is true that in the past campaign tho voters were canvassed with
encouraging results. It was, however, impossible to reach all the voters,
and the assurances given by the men who were canvassed were not bind
ing upon them. We had to discount some of the favorable signs.
THIN WE COULD ONLY HOPE. NOW WE KNOW THE BTRENQTH
WITH WHICH WE START. OVER FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR
THOUSAND MEN IN NEW YORK BTATE BELIEVE IN WOMAN BUK
FRAOE AND HAVE VOTED FOR IT. THIB 18 AN EXCELLENT BEGIN
NING FOR A NEW CAMPAIGN. IT IS A LARGER VOTE THAN THE RE
PUBLICANS POLLED IN THIS STATE IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
Everybody agrees that suffrage is bound to come. It has been said
that it is coming automatically. WE .ARE SURE THAT IT IS
BOUND TO COMTE, BUT WE ARE EQUALLY SURE THAT IT
18 NOT BOUND TO COME AUTOMATICALLY. So my New
Year's wish for the suffragists of the state is: May 1916 be a year qf
hard work for us all; of such work (hat, Wilding upon the sure founda
tion we can now count upon, will make doubly certain a speedy victory.

Criminals Cannot Be Re

By Justice F. E. FRK3C oI lb* Su

THERE are many, among whom
a number are prison officials,
who have conceived the idea
that all men are the same, and since
some can be trusted all may be, and
therefore all that-is required to re
form a criminal is to place unre
stricted trust and confidence in him.
THAT IS, ALL THAT IS NEED
ED TO REFORM HIM IS TO
CALL mM A MAN OP HONOR,
AND—PRESTO, CHANGE—HE
BECOMES A MAN OF HONOR!
Such a method of dealing with
confirmed criminals is as pernicious
In practice as it ia illogical in rea
son. 'lt treats an abnormal human
being aa though he were perfectly
normal. The result Is that it seta
at large the most dangerous crimi
nals we have to deal with.
I have become thoroughly con

VILLAGE STREET
IMPROVEMENT
New York State Follows Oki
Custom For Payments.
EXPERTS AOVOCATE CHANGE
Authority* on Taxes Are Against
Making BtrMt Improvements at the
Expanse sf*th« To*n and Maintain
That the Cost Should Be Assssssd
Against Adjoining Property. 1
... Many tax experts have recently call*
jd attention to the venerable cus
tom of making street improvements in
the Tillages of New York state at the
general expense of the whole village.
On this important question the
Heal Estate Record of Westchester
county has this to say:
"This custom has been freshly as
sailed in a small folder. Cities charge
such valuable property improvements
i against the parties who benefit there
by, Inasmuch as the market value of
the premises Is Immediately raised
mora than ths cost It la asked, *Why
should the property owner have a
great deal of additional value added
to his land at the general expense of
the community and not pay for it?'
It is characterized as taxing one est
of village landholders for the benefit
of another set. It also Increases the
general tax of each village so that
the taxation looks high and la high
compared with cities elsewhere, hurt
ing the sale of real estate thereby.
"The argument also Is very proper
ly advanced that sines the day of the
macadam road Is gone and "paved"
roads (with brick, asphalt or stone)
are the most economical, a village
ought not to Incur enormous debts
for such Increased marketability of
his land.
"The proper an/1 right way is for
the village to assess the total cost
against the adjoining property, add
to it the Interest on a necessary bond
issue to cover the same for a period
of ten years and then collect one
tenth of this total cost of . the Im
provement from the property adjoin
ing each year. The assessment- la
thus easily borne by the property
owner, and he gets the immediate
good from the Improvement making
his property a great deal more valu
able, and be justly bears the expense.
"The village trustees of all villages
of the first and second class should be
given authority to make these im
provements in this way. Now their
authority Is too great. It enables
them to Improve one set of persons'
property at the expense of another.
In other words, the. whole village
pays for sidewalks and pavements In
front of those of the greatest wealth
on the best streets and roads and
those best able to pay for it."
The following resolution was pass
ed at the fifth annual tax conference
held in Albany, Jan. 21, 1915:
Resolved. That the provision of the pre*-*
eat law which orders that the cost of
street Improvement and other special im
provements shall be defrayed out of the
general funds of the village Is antiquated,
unjust and tends to retard modern prog
ress hi villages We believe that the law
should be amended so as to oonform to the
practice of first and second class cities In
assessing all ;«uch street and special Im
provemenU afron the abutting property or
proximate areas directly benefited, txoept
that when an Improvement Is of torect
benefit to the entire village the onet may
be borne In part by the village and & past
by the abutting property.
Calomel Dynmites

Crashes into sour bile, mak

Calomel salivates! It's mercury,
Calomel acta like dynamite on a

comes in contact with sour bile it
crashes into it causing griping and

if you feel bilious, heXdachy, con

go to your druggist and get a 60c
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,
which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangeroua calomel.
Take a spoonful and If It doesn't
start your liver and straighten vou
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel, and without makinz you
sick, you just go and get your
mofcey back.
If\ you take calomel today yduH
be nek. and nauseated tomorrow;
besod«s it may salivate you, while
if you take Dodson's Liver Tone
you will wake up feeling great, full
of ambition and ready for work or
play. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like

Ashee aa a Fertilizer.
The farmer who burns wood for heat

the ashes and not permit them to leach,
aa they have a peculiar fertilizing
value. They not only contain potash

and lime, and when applied to the land
they also act indirectly to increase the
available nitrogen content of vrgank
