FIRE—THE ENEMY OF PROSPERITY The United States is going through a .period of industrial readjustment and working to solve the employ-men! problem.\ It is interesting to consider the effect of our annual fire loss ir this connection. In' the first place,, the yearly firr- waste «J£ approximately $500,000,001 is enough to employ 400,000 people at $100 a month for one year. This money alone, if constructively used, would have 'a salutory effect on em- ployment. In the second place, every fire causes an inestimable loss, indirectly, due to cessation of business and IOSF of time and labor. This condition i.= followed \by unemployment and lower- ed purchasing power. In the third, place,'every fire-re- duces our national we'alth. Destroyed property is - \irreplaceable in thf •broad sense. We cannot be \protect- ed\ from fire. An insurance policy for example, creates nothing new. I' helps replace a property that war uselessly destroyed • and thereby use'' money that could have otherwise gone into new activity. This year fire losses have beei rising. The loss during March wa. ?1,6&6.578 greater than in March 1929. No nation, no matter hov wealthy,, can forever afford our collosal fire waste. Fire is the enemy of prosperity. FULL-WIDTH ROAD MORE PRACTICAL —o— Many good roads advocates have believed that it was a good practice to build half of a full-width pavement on farm-to-market roads, and later when funds were available, build thr other half. Experience has proven this to br. an' expensive method', however, and •even a half-width pavement such as= is land on state highways costs more than it is practical to spend on. the average farm-to-markefc, or secondary road. The American Farm Bureau Fed-' eration has been emphasizing the necessity of increasing the mileage of these farm-to-market roads. Good surfaces-for-such roads can be con- structed of suitable materials to make them water and dust proof, at an ex- tremely low cost. Asphalt and road oils are playing an indispensable part in this type of construction. All year round farm-to-anarket roads provide real farm relief and their mileage should be extended in conjunction with every state high way system. Famous Phrases Traced to Their Right Origin; It seems that the public has been wronging the memory of that doughiy merchant and railroad builder, Com- modore Cornelius Vanderbilt, these many years. It wasn't the commodore, to whom the phrase Is usually at- tributed, but his eldest son, William H., who made that famous declaration of policy,. \The public be damned!\ according to the Golden Bonk Maga- zine. The phrase has Uved, It is found, since 1883, and was ejaculated by the second of the railroad dynasty on an occasion when he was asked whether the customers of hla railroad should be consulted about the service am} equipment of his trains, The magazine, seeking out the au- thentic sources of other famous phrases, finds that \To the victor be- longs the spoils\ was coined by Sen atpr vyilllam L. Marcy in 1882. Marc; was defending Andrew Jackson's pol icy of ousting opposition office hold- ers In wholesale fashion and substi- tuting his own followers. \A square deal\ was made famous by Theodore Roosevelt, who used it In a speech for Spanish war veterans in 3903: \If they are good enough to slied blood, they are good enough to get a square deal afterward.\ \I would rather be right than be President,\ another phrase whose ori- gin is sinking Into obscurity, was first spoken by Henry Clay in 1850, In his compromise speech which Is generally credited with helping postpone the Civil war. \The almighty dollar,\ it is found, first appeared In Washington Irving's account of southern Creole villages where- he found that minted deity \seems to have no genuine devotees.\ Phirmey s Want \Beechwood\ In Village Limits These are days of great activity on the \Beeehiwood\ property situated on the westerly border of the village of Cape Vincent. These premises which have been lying idle for a number of years, are being thorough- ly overhauled and the grounds have been cleaned up. In addition- to this the residence is to be rebuilt and other new buildings constructed. A large force of workmen, most of whom are. Gape Vincent people, will •have employment for the whole of this season. The owner, A. J, Phinney, will spend thousands of dol- lars to put this property in first-class •condition, as he expects i!b make \Beechwood\ his permanent residence, having disposed of his property in Buffalo. iMr. Phinney is making applica- tion to have his property here in- cluded in the village limits as he wishes to become a citizen of this i village. -The only thing he is asking of the village is the extension of the water system to his premises. Since this property has always been given water for summer use -the logical thing will be to make this extension a permanent job. If the application of Mr. Phinney is granted, the re- turn to the village in taxes from this property will repay the village in the years to come many times for any expense incurred at the present time. We welcome to our'comnmmity not only Mr. Phinney, but all others who are coming here as investors in Gape Vincent property. County Fair Gets The Jefferson County Agricultural society, which holds the annual fair. >f this- county at Waterto-wn, was one if the 36 fair societies to receive the $6,000 maximum annual state aid, ac- cording to the state department of agriculture and markets, Lewis County Agricultural society. Lowville, has been awarded $5,519.81, while the Boonville Fair association will receive $5,772.37, the St. Law- rence County Fair society $4,740.70, and the Sandy Creek, Richland, Or- well & Boyiston Agricultural society, 55,585.50. The Gouverneur Agricultural & Mechanical society and the Franklin Oounty Agricultural society of Ma- lone, are. among the 36 societies to receive $6,000 maximum each. Aiwards of state aid are m'ade in proportion to the amount of premiums jaid out by the societies. The re- oort from .the state department of igriouVture and markets states that -.he societies paid out $442,467-60 last /ear and the state has appropriated ?375,000 to reimburse them. Checks to cover the awards will be 'orwarded to the treasurers of the .everal societies from Albany. THE HAY MARKET. Under date . of' May 15 the f ollow- 'ng bulletin was issued from the New' 'fork city office of the State Depart- ment 1 of Agriculture and Markets: -Supplies of hay on New York farms estimated at 559,000 tons on May 1, compare with 847,000 tons last May and 1,182,000 tons two years ago. Some sections in the northern, east- ern and western counties are suffer- ing from shortage. In the twelve north central states, hay stocks, though above last May, are much be- low 1928. or the entire United States, the quantity on hand is 12,497,000 tons compared with 11,159,000 tons last May and 17,896,000 tons in 1925. Present prices are Timothy No. 1, $30,000 to $31.00; No. 2, $28.00 to $29.00; No. 3, $26.00 to $27.00. I Subscribers, Take Notice i @' _—,— i_ 9 In a few days bills will be mailed from the Eagle office '• • for arrearages on subscriptions. J $ The postal ruling, regarding subscriptions being more < 0 than one year in arrears, has long been a postal law, but has ( f§ just recently been enforced.

Newman s Making With the Central On Saturday last, John H. New- man, a native of Cape Vincent, rounded- out twenty->ftve years as an employe of the New York Central Railroad company. Mr. Newman started to work for the railroad company May 17, 1905. He worked in the old depot, at IVa- tertown, and was made baggage master in the new station, TJipoh re- tirement of Jacob Herman, veteran station master, several years ago, Mr. Neiwiman received appointment as successor to Mr. Herman. Mr. Newman has always been in- terested in athletics. In January he was elected president of the St. Law- rence division athletic association.

Canny Modern Youth A staff of copy boys employed on one of the local morning papers has a new—ana lucrative—racket. ' just before edition time, when the rewrite men and copy-readers begin to yenrn for food after a hard night, the boys are kept on the run to the restaurants. If asked for suggestion? they readily answer. Some of the boys suggest milk shnkes and malted milk; others, near- beer.

All loose shingles should be securely nailed, protruding nails driven In, and warped edges of shingles cut off with a chisel to make the surface as uniform as possible. To obtain a neat job and to retain good roof lines, cut away a few inches of the old shingles at thp oaves and gables and lay In, where they are cut away, a furring strip, or batten, to hide the sides and butts of the old shingles. \In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row.\ \We cherisK> too, the popipy red •-\ That grows on the. fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flowers that bloom above the dead In Flanders Fields.\ The annual Poppy sale in Cape Vin- cent r \will be conducted on Saturday 'of tbis week, May 24, by the Ameri- can Legion Post and the Auxiliary. Everyone should buy a Poppy and help in the noble work being ac- complished by the organizations. The Poppy to be sold is purchased through the state department of the American Legion and is Veteran made. The money derived from the sale is kept in a separate fund and used for welfare work only. Thf: needs of the disabled veteran are in- creasing each year—we must not fail them. The Poppy, as you well know, has a two-fold purpose: namely, we wear it in honor of the men who made thc- supreme sacrifice, and the money which is derived from the sale goes to assist the less fortunate ones who look to their Buddies for help. In the Poppy was found a way to link the honoring of the dead with service for the living victims of war. Most important of all, the Popipy has been kept a sacred symbol of the sacrifices of the men who gave their all. Buy a Poppy and wear it in Me- morium. \Forget them not as years go by, On our remembrance they rely. , They are the maimed death did deny Its solace—crippled, blind, they tiy To find on earth the peace They fcnriw In Flanders Fields.\ Germanium and Arsenic ' Found in Meteorites Arsenic, favorite of poisoners, and germanium, a rare element that has been used in the treatment of anemia, are both present in some meteorites that fall to the earth from the skies. •Dr. Jacob Papish and Zaida M. Han- ford, Cornell university chemists, re- port on results of a series of analyses of six meteorites. Traces of germa- nium were found in all of them, while small amounts of both germanium and arsenic were actually extracted from two. The meteorites were studied by placing portions of them in an electric arc and studying the light from the arc with a spectroscope. Certain lines', known to be due to germanium, were clearly apparent In all the specimens studied. By a complicated chemical treatment, which started with distilla- tion of hydrochloric acid In which the meteorites had been dissolved, percepti- ble amounts of arsenic and germani- um were extracted from one that fell In Mexico and another tbat fell In Canada. Up to the present, the only place outside the earth In which germanium has been located Is in the outer layer of the sun, where It has also been found with the aid of the spectro- scope. Claims have been made In the past of the identification of arsenic in meteorites, but there has been some controversy about It.—Kansas City Star's Science Service. Governor Signs Bill for Removal of Snow from Roads Th§. snow removal bill sponsored by Assemblyman Burton D. Esmond, of Saratoga county, and passed dur- ing the last session of the-state legis- lature, which provides that the state share half of the expense of snow re- moval from state and county high- ways during the winter months, has been signed by Governor Roosevelt. This bill was the only snow re- moval bill to get through the legis- lature. The bills by Assemblywoman Rhoda Fox Graves, St. Lawrence county, and Senator Warren Thayer, Chateaugay, were not reported out of committee. Under the Esirtond bill, provision is made for expense of snow removal to be done jointly. In part it pro- vides that boards of supervisors in counties may on or before October 1 of any year pass a resolution stating the public interest demands the snow removal from the state and county highways. The resolution must bt specific in designating''the highways and giving the mileage to be cleared of snow. Passage of this'bill is of great in- terest to Northern Neiw York, al- though it does not provide for thf state bearing the full expense of the work. The severe snow storms of last winter brought the matter to the fore as never before. SPRING. Spring the birds returning ' To their own native land, Spring the flower's blooming On the sea shore in the sand, And even, in a distance One c.an watch the boats move by For to sick folks it's heaven— Under the crystal sky. Spring the 'ice floes breaking Off the St. Lawrence shore, Spring boats slowly gliding Where ice boats sped before, The sea gulls sing their merry tunes Because they're satisfied, The sun begins to travel west — It goes down with the tide. Spring when over all the land iThe chimes sound wide and far, While people travel o'er their way, On horse-back or in car. And ever in the heavens, Grey clouds soon turn to blue, Soon everything comes back to life— Somehow old things look new. Spring when everyplace you see Young happy faces fair, Swimming, dancing every day, Just like the flowers rare. The sun begins to heat the earth -So small children can play About in their small back yards Each-bright and sunny day. Spring when some folks start to walk Out to a dear one's grave, Where sometime during the winter Their life to God they gave. And in a little grave yard Appears a man of years, His faithful wife has departed, And he- can't control his tears. Spring when everything awakes From its long winter sleep, And the farmers begin to work For grain they have to reap. Somewhere on earth the .bright sun shines, The people are happy and gay, Somewhere else there are thunder storms, The people like clouds are grey. Spring when all begin to see Happiness, sadness and sorrow, For God alone can reveal to us What may occur tomorrow. The only thing for us to do Is always to be true, And be prepared, for Spring may be An awakening for me and you. —Frances Lucile Snyder. —; ;'p--*sp^T * Ideal Spot for Sailor ^ Two sailors in a train were dis- cussing the general situation.

Demand for Dwarfs Met by Inhuman Exploiter^ Dwarfs were the lnpdogs of medi- eval times. And so popular were they that many merchants specialized in selling them to the nobility. \Marc Antony owned a dwarf,\ writes M. R. Werner In Liberty, whom he called, ironically, Sisyphus. In Rome there were dwarf merchants who, when they could not obtain nat- ural specimens for the emperors and nobles, manufactured dwarfs by un- dernourishing normal babies, or by binding their limbs to prevent full de- velopment. \Tiberius Domltinn and Heliogabu- lus paid high prices to their dwarf 1 merchants, who experimented con- stantly to supply the demand. Cath» erlne de Medici, in order to secure a. regular supply of dwarfs for her court and us presents for her friends, caused all the dwarfs of her establishment to be married in a large scale effort to produce a race of midgets. The mar- riages, however, were uniformly bar- ren, and her majesty was sadly dis- appointed.\ Man to Be Avoided He who backbites an absent, friend, who does not defend him when others find fault, who loves to raise men's laughter, and to get the name of a witty fellow; who can pretend what he never saw; who cannot keep se- crets entrusted to him; this man Is a (dangerous individual.
