BROUGHT OUT A PLEDGE.
President Roberts Thrust at the Bankers
and Parallel Lines.


and Parallel Lines.
New YORK, January lin regard 10
the meeting of the railroad presidents and
bankers yesterday, the Times says:
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
Company, suggested at the meeting that
perhaps what was needed as much as an
pssOcla!ion of reformed rail way men was
an association of reformed bankers Wien
parallel lines are projected, eaid be, the
banking houses are always ready to make
q commission floating the PARALLELS secur-
tiles.
THIS thrus. brought out q pledge that
the three banking houses present wOuld
never do sucn thing sgsin. Indeed, the
bankers went further and promised to boy
c9tt any new enterprise intended to COM
pete with the old lines. Not all the bank
ers of the lsnd were at the meeting, how
ever, and il is fair 10 surmise that at least
one wicked banker will still be found
occasionally willing to sell parallel bonds
for the usual commission.

The Most Efficient Fertilizer.

The experiments at stations and by
individuals continue to confirm the old
opinion that barn manure is more uni
versally useful and efficient under all
circumstances than any of the special
fertilizers. In rating its value by
analysis, the carbonaceous matter
which it contains is not commonly
taken into account, but its abundant
presence is one reason why it is SO
generally beneficial to all soils. 1t
operates in several ways, among them
in the mechanical condition given to
land, and in promoting the absorption
OF moisture and essential Ingredients
OF fertilizers. 1t greatly assists in i'm
proving the texture of many soils.
With these qualities, it is well to mix
with yard manure various other sub
stances. Inquiry is often made for the
best way to apply bone dust, plaster,
mari, air-slaked lime, superphosphate.
etc. In most cases, the easiest way is
to mix them through heaps OF manure.
in their alternating layers; and ii there
is plenty of the manure. and the guam
tity of the other ingredients is small,
the more perfect the intermixture can
be made. The thinner and more numer-
GUS the layers, the more perfectly they
will be diffused through the manure.
and the less labor will be required in
working over the pile Of manure

The Injustice of Protection.

A conversation with shop-girl is
recorded. She made 1920 a year. 1t
cost her for board sos. so and to dress
$111.50. Asked why she spent so
much money on her clothes, the reply
was: 1.-The bosses make US dress nice
and it costs half on, wages. l hope
you will help us AMI that the Govern
ment will make the price of dress
goods come down." Mr.. Meriwether' s
apt remarks are: "This salesgirl prob
ably does not understand ten lines of
political economy, but, forced by the
nature of her occupation to spend a
large portion of her meager earnings
on dress, she wants the Government to
help her by making the price of dress
goods come down. The principal way
for the Government to accomplish this
is to abolish the high-tariff taxes.
That is the first step that is being de-
manded by the wage-earners, both
men and women, the more they reflect
on the way protection protects them
by raising prices on all the neces-
s9ries of life" - Lee Meriwether's
s-Story of Tramp"
