INDIANA LAWS
Street Car Companies Insist on Old
Fares

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 15.-The
new laws went into force at midnight by
the governors proclamation. Chief in.
terest here attaches to the 3-cent street
car fare. The Citizens Street Railway
company gave no instructions to con-
ductors and declines to consider the law
until decision is reached in the federal
court, where a test case is under argu-
ment.
On North Indianapolis car a con-
ductor put young woman off the car by
force when she declined to nav more
than cents. Other conductors have ac-
cepted cents, and say they will pay 2
cents additional out of their own wages
rather than have row. The law pro-
vides heavy penalty where more than
cents fare is collected.
During the day several persons were
forced from cars upon refusing to pay
s cents fare, among them being Police
Judge Cox, who was violently elected
by the conductor and moterman. One
damage suit has already been filed
Late this evening ex-Attorney- General
]. H. Miller filed in the United States
court a petition for an order restraining
the patrons of the street railroad COM
pany from demanding Scent fare.

order issued by the authority Of his pre-

A Giant Harvester.

This season, in the great wheat-grOw-
ing section of the San Joaquin valley,
a giant harvester has been in use which
cuts, threshes and sacks the wheat
growing on 100 acres daily. The ma
chine, when all it's sickles are in use,
cuts the enormous swath of tifty-tWo
feet. Eight or ten men are able to
handle it easily, and it turns out from
1,400 to 1900 sacks of wheat in ten
hour day.
The machine is arranged with CEN
tral body, which is the regulation TWEEN
ty-siX-foOt harvester. On each side Of
this main sickle is thirteen-fOot sickle
When the machine began work this
year the traction engine, which was
built specially for it, pushed this enor-
nous harvester through the heavy grain
of the islands Of the San Joaquin river
as easily as a team of horses would
draw a wagon on road. When, how
ever, the softer ground was reached
the weight of the machine proved to be
so great that the wheels sank into the
soil, and the traction engine could not
perform it's work as rapidly as 1t should
have done; hence, there was great loss
Of power. To remedy this the side
sickles had to be removed.
The output of the machine in this
new form is 600 to 800 sacks per day.
Next season the owners will use it on
upland only, where they will be able to
employ all three of the sickles, thus
making it the largest harvester in the
-Harper's Weekly.

A Farmer Warns Bankers.

ct see that several big bankers,
through the press, have given the farm
ers of Kansas some advice recently as
to how to run their farms in the future"
said Representative Lot Ravenscraft, an
extensive farmer and cattleman OF Clark
county. "They will pardon me, there
fore, if l, farmer, offer these bankers
some advice. Never in the history Of
the State have bankers shown such poor
Judgment as they are displaying at the
present time They have simply gone
crazy over cattle paper, and 1T is no
trouble whatever to get money equaling
the full value of the cattle you mortgage.
Cattle are very high, and slump would
mean a tremendous loss to the bankers
When cattle were as cheap as dirt bank
ers would not think Of taking paper for
their full value. Then there was abso-
lutely no way for the bankers to lose.
But now, when there is grave danger OF
heavy losses by a slump in the market,
bankers loan the full value. That may
be conservatism, but cattle men don't
think so. We have reached the conclu-
sion that bankers are not any wiser
than any other class of business men"
Mr.. Ravenscraft's opinion Of the busi-
ness ability Of the average banker Is
identical with that of State Commits
sioner Breidenthal who long ago sent
a circular letter to the Kansas banks,
warning them to beware of loading up
too heavily with cattle paper.-Topeka

afford to do this. think that the laws
of all States contemplate that insur-
ance shall be written only in the re-
spective States by companies that are
licensed and come through the front
door Of the insurance department.
"If this illegitimate writing OF insur-
ance is not stopped by your company
L will call the attention Of the County
Attorneys to the matter in the respec-
tive counties of Kansas where you are
attempting to do business, and see that
your agents are prosecuted.
Il will say in addition that at some
future time you may desire to make
application to come into this State to
transact insurance business and the
kind of a record you have nOw-that OF
illegally writing insurance-unless 1t Is

An Emergency Food.

have thought that in emergency a
hunger ration, complete, might be made.
For instance, alfalfa is rich in nitrogen3
crackers are rich in fuel food, poor in
nitrogenous food. An extract from al
falfa, mixed with flour, baked into crack
ers, might satisfy really hungry man.
It is said that peanut meal is One-half
nitrogen; that oil cakes Qinseed and cot,
tonseed oil cake) contain large percent
ages of nitrogen, which may sometime
be extracted and mixed with food def
cient in that. At present there seems to
be an overproduction Of human food.
When the race has doubled, II not be-
fore, and that time is not far off, then
the case will be quite different There
will come time when the earth will
not produce enough to feed one more
inhabitant. War is, or is soon to be,
suppressed. Pestilence is avoided by
sanitation, famines are reduced by char
ity, and the time may come when men
will be happy to have a tablet which
contains muscle-producing heat-produc-
ing, bone-producing food in the neces-
sary proportions.--A. A. Denton, in Kan

DON'T BE DECEIVED.

A Warming to Buyers OF Standard Articles
Against Offers Of Substitutes.
The gullibllity of the average con-
sumer of merchandise Of all kinds Is well
known and the ability Of "shrewd" 1--WE
should say dishonesty merchants to palm
off limitations of articles which have
gained a reputation and are demanded
by name is also we'll known. In making
small and insignificant purchases 1t 10
not to be wondered at that consumers
can often be induced to accept substi-
tutes or articles which are claimed to be
lust as good" by the Interested mer-
chant, but when 1t comes to articles
of value which are likely to be used
the greater part Of lifetime, the pur-
chasers Of such goods are as foolish aa
the merchant is dishonest If they allow
themselves to buy anything but just ex-
actly what Is asked for by name AS
glaring instance of what can be done
in this connection we desire TO name
but one very well-known article OF
household use-tO show what Is often
attempted and sometimes accomplished.
AS long ago as 1882 the Michigan Stove
Company, Of Detroit, Chicago and Buff
falo, placed upon the market complete
line of cooking and heating apparatus
for all kinds Of fuel and Of the highest
possible degrees of merit-which they
marketed under the name Of Garland"
Stoves and Ranges, and as this name was
applied to but the highest grade or quail
ity of each type of stove or range, their
products were an electric success and
the name Garland" has always stood
as the symbol of goods of first grade
only, and are to-day the only goods Of
their kind sold under any trade name
which are not made In several Qualities.
Other stoVemakers, counting no doubt
upon the credence of the public, COM
menced to apply trade name TO lines OF
goods varying In quality from very good
down to the cheapest and most inferior
grades, and then initiated the shape and
style Of the Garland" trade mark, even
to the shape and arrangement Of the LETT
tering-cOpying even the cOlOrs in Gar
land" posters, initiating the designs Of
"Garlands"-with the result that many
INSCRIPTIONS stove merchants have been
successful in selling third and fourth
grade limitations of "Garlands" upon the
statement that what they offered were
lust as good" etc. The courts have
closed the factories of some OF the most
shameless Of these lmitators, enjoined
others, and yet there are those who
escape the pale of the law and continue
to dupe the publlc-whom, we repeat,
are themselves to blame for not insist
ing upon having Garland" and moth
ing else.
The above is but one Of many il~
stances which might be cited, but 1t ls
sufficient to show that it is not only
upon small articles of merchandise upon
which consumers can be deceived, but
large and important ones as well. When
will the buying public learn to protect
itself?
