A Serious Handicap.

The distance from market has proven
 a serious handicap, and the question of freight and express rates is one that in- terests growers Those who have urged
 the farmers to diversity their crops should now be willing to take a hand and
 assist them in securing a markets for their produce and at the same time do all in their power 10 prevent the railroad and express companies from taxing the in dustry all it will bear The life of the truck grower is by no means strewn with roses, and yet the man who has a desire to live at home. to be at all times within hailing distance of his wife. and hear the laughter of his children as they play around the house will find that this branch of agriculture offers the greatest opportunity of any profession he can enter and In the course of events he will get just as much happiness out of life as the man who Is on the road or who is chasing his cattle over a large domain.

Truck Farmer Needs Instruction.

If there Is any one class of farmers who need q special course of instruction to enable them to make a success in their business 1t is the truck farmer. for he naturally has more at stake on a small area than any other class of farmers. His method of farming is generally looked upon as being the most intensified of all the branches of agriculture, and there fore 1t stands him in hand to be able 10 classify his soils to know just what kind of fertilizer to use, and how 10 use them to produce the greatest results. A mis- take will work far greater hardship than the same kind of a mistake would work on the ordinary farmer or stock raiser for in a sense. he has ''all his eggs in one basket or all his living on that small area where the mistake is committed.
 In order to be successful truck farmer a man must have diversified knowledge, as he will have greater number of prob lems to solve than In any other form of agriculture Net only will he be called upon to solve the question of securing a market for his produce, and having solved that problem he will then be con fronted with another just as great, and that will be how to reach that market at the least expense and in the best con diton possible So he must be a business man of experience before he Is properly equipped to make a success. Most of the successful truck growers have se- cured this latter training in the hard school of experience and so have what might be called a practical business ed- l1patfou

TRUCK FARMER HAS VERY
 HARD WORK TO SUCCEED.

In a recent issue Farm and Ranch has the following advice for truck farmers:
 When we hear farmers or others speak Of crop diVersifcaticn we naturally think Of truck farming. If diversihcation means a multiplicity of crops, then surely the truck grower is the true exponent of this doctrine for the truck grower raises a larger number of crops on the same ground, and reproduees his crops oftener than any other agrieuturalist.
 While there are exceptions to all rules it is noticeable that truck growers. and the hortcultualists also, who make the greatest success in their lines come from those families where the boys have been trained in the business from their earl lest infancy. The man who goes Into truck growing for one year as an exper- ment. need not expect to make a sue cess of the industry. It is the man who goes into it with the determination to make t life long profession, to stick to it through thick and thin. who will event ually win out and be looked upon as a successful truck farmer at the close of life

|RATE PROPERTY HOLDERS
OPPOSE STREET-CAR LINE
North Pennsylvania-Street Resi-
dents Protest Against Exten-
sion on Their Street.
PETITION is PREPARED

To anyone who heard the comments of
the fifty North Pennsylvania-street prop
erty holders who gathered, Indignantly. az
the Heron Art Institute last night, there
could be no doubt that the residents of
that district are as wrought up over the
proposed street-car line extension on Penn
sylvania street as it were possible for them
to be.
Edward Daniels, Ernest Keith, Louis H.
Gibson and A. G. Smith were the principal
speakers of the evening. the latter being
especially pointed in his comments on the
proposed move on the part of the company.
'In my opinion said Mr.. Smith, "it is
the duty of every resident in this part of
town to fight any man or any body of
men. be they street-car magnates not,
who try to perpetrate this gross outrage
and injustice upon us. 1t should be a
war TO the knife, and 1 nrmly believe that
II we stick together at the meeting OF
the Board of Public Works on April 20, we
can bring about the desired result.
In a petition prepared by the residents
Of this part of the city for presentation to
the Board of Works, il is set out that, after
controversy, IL was decided many years
ago TO build a street-car line on Talbot
avenue; that the residents on that street
bought their property al deprecated values,
but with the knowledge that the car line
would be built thereon.
Further, IL is set out, the residents of
Pennsylvania street, between Sixteenth and
Twenty-fifth streets, bought their proper
ties with the understanding that the ques-
ton of the car line was forever settled.
and that they would be free from car lines.
With this idea in mind. they made costly
improvements on their lots. and would now
consider the opening of a line in that part
of Pennsylvania street a breach of good
faith on the part of the street-car COM
pany. Especially would they consider it
go. according to the petition, because there
is from their point of view. absolutely no
necessity for the extension. since a parallel
line runs within $50 feet of it.
Other resolutions for the purpose of hold
ing the North Siders together until they
accomplish their purpose, were drawn, and
they adjourned with the understanding
that Chairman Stanton call the company
together again in case any new difficulties
arise. All of the property holders in this
vicinity are being uregd to sign the petition
and TO put in appearance at the meeting
before the Board of Works on the 18th.

life in the bank for the last two years,
when he was time and again forced to do
wrong, was worse than any Imprisonment

stands before you penniless he should not

BRODRICK MAKES PLEA.
Judge Anderson then asked Brodrick
what he had to say. Span arose and made
a short plea in his behalf, reviewing Brod-
rick's business life and saying that what
ever he did was done on the belief that it
was for the best interests of the bank; that
when he took charge of the bank Brodrick
was worth 100000. all of which went to the
bank. Every dollar. Spaan said. which
Brodrick took from the bank was returned
from time TO time and therefore he was not
guilty of embezzlement Spaan made his
plea for the minimum sentence of five
years. He asked that Brodrick be allowed
to go on the stand and explain the ques-
tionable notes. The court granted the re-
quest, and at 10 o'clock Brodrick took the
stand.
Brodrick spoke out freely, but his expla-
nations were not satisfactory to Judge An
derson, who repeatedly interrupted with
questions which seemed TO confuse Brod-
rick. Spaan asked Brodrick about the

explained at some length, conIending that
the transactions had been square. Span
then asked him If in making the loans,
Brodrick had acted in good faith, to which
he replied that he had Judge Anderson
interrupted, asking if he knew that Brown
was not paying a cent of the interest on

A money order which the postoffice au-

to light Wednesday and resulted in the ar
rest of Miss Mabel Mcdowell, an eighteen
year-old girl. The prisoner was brought

Mcdowell to don her spring gown.
The money order for sum of over 500

October. Mabel got word that her aunt
was to receive this sum and on the day of
its arrival called for Miss Grants mail and

Moy Kee, Exonerated from Gam

to Flowery Kingdom.

Acting as interpreter. Moy Kee yesterday
introduced the evidence of his brother and
a Chinese cook. and convinced Judge WhaI
Ion that the slot machine which was re-
sponsible for the Chinaman's appearance
in court was not used as a gambling de-
vice. but was purchased with the intention
of sending it TO China. There was some
objection by the prosecution to Moy Kee
in the role of interpreter, but he was finally
allowed to officiate under the direction of
his attorney, Taylor Groninger. The China
man was discharged, and the slot machine,
which Moy Kee claims to have purchased
in a long coffinlike box. which was cast up
by the high water during the Pogue's run
