Winter Wheat Coming

The first field of winter wheat to

Clearing Hay of Needles

An ingenious farmer down the Gro
ton way, according to the Independ-
ent, has found a way to clear the hay
land of needles before cutting the
grass. 1t is pretty late in the season
now to tell it as the ripened needles
will drop to the ground Of their own
weight before haying is resumed after
harvest, but it can be remembered
for another year. This farmer takes
a hayrake partly filled with hay and
drives over the grass pulling the rip
ened needles loose so they lie on the
ground and few of them are gathered
up with the hay. The rake should
be run in an opposite direction to
which the mower is to 60.

Last year the city reduced the hours
Of labor from ten to nine. Its profits
have been SO great that it voluntarily
increased its payment into the ''com-
mon good from $4,000 to $125,OOO.
There is no uniform rate of fare, and
American readers will be interested in
learning how much II gets for money
expended for street car trips in Glas-
| gov. According to the statistics in the
annual report for last year, the average
fare was about TX cents in our money.
Fol q cent n can ride on the average
SO of q mile; for 2 cents, 2h miles;
for 3 cents, 3.4S miles; for 4 cents, 4.64
miles; for 5 cents, $50 miles; for G
cents, Csc miles; for Z cents, S.15 miles,
and for s cents, 900 miles. Eight cents
Is the highest fare charged, regardless
Of distance, but the average fare Is
less than 2 cents.
School children are carried for half
fare, and a movement is on foot to is
u passes to oil who regularly attend
the public schools. The cars are hand
some, well lighted, clean and first class
In every particular. The Illuminated
electric signs at the front and rear
make it possible on the darkest night
to distinguish ones car q square or
more away.
The common good" fund is doubt
less the heir to the profits of the tram
ways. Not many years will elapse be-
fore the last dollar Of Indebtedness is
paid. When that time comes nominal
rates of fare will yield annual revenues
of not less than $1,5OO,O0O. This and
other donations will be expended for
purposes indicated by the %altruistic title
Of the fund. There is thus creating q
gigantic municipal trust, constantly fed
from reproductive enterprises not un-
der the control of the taxpayers. 1t is
steadily increasing its holdings of real
estate. Under the charter creating it
there is practically no limit to the field
Of Its activities. Already it is more
opulent than any individual capitalist.
There is no more interesting social
institution on earth than the common
good" trust Of Glasgow. 1t proposes to
appropriate to itself all of the enormous
profits which accrue from the patron
age of the public. 1t Is public capital
ism armed with q franchise unlimited
IN its scope. Against such q COM
petitor it is impossible to form a pri-
vate monopoly. The devout Glasgow
baihe, administering the affairs of his
city with the same watchful care he
bestows on his household, with the
same shrewdness he gives to the bank
of which he is q director, and with the
same devotion and loyalty which mark
his life as a churchman-this uncon-
scious radical has done more to arouse
wealth from its complacent and fan
cded security than the writings and
Fantngs of all of the theorists who
have lived and agitated for a century.

had been compelled to meet the IN
Vulnerable 2NpcE.ivs incident to tn" III
StallatiOn Of Il new plant, but despite
all these items there remained Il net
revenue far greater than had been de-
rived from the old company.
The second gear Of operation showed
profits of 100000. There is in Glas-
gov a treasury fund called the COM
mon good,'' and into tt1is the tramWay
department had agreed to pay $4,000
a year out Of any profits which might
accrue. This fund goes to Investments
for the good Of the people, the upkeep
of parks, the purchase of real estate,
the maintenance of historical places,
the entertainment of distinguished
guests, the observance Of anniversaries
and for simikg purposes. The fund is
not supported from taxes and has many
sources Of revenue from estates which
have been handed down for centuries.
Outside of Its annual payment into the
common good" the tramways do not
pay a cent into the city treasury.
In 1897 the city took over the last of
the private lines in or near the city.
It increased the wages of its mel S2o,-
600 and again reduced the fares. In
the annual statement the tramways
committee called attention to the fact
that the average citizen only family
realized what was being saved by pas
sengers on account of the longer hauls
and lower fares. In that year it
amounted to a total of 100000, but
despite this the enterprise paid $423,-
600. Mr.. Young and his assistants were
studying electrical traction and in the
following year installed the first ex-
perimental line. This was so success
full that it was decided to change the
entire equipment. The last horse car
disappeared in 1901, for which year the
receipts decreased owing to the enor-
nous expense and confusion incident
to the change. The city invested more
than $4,0O0,00O in new equipment, but
the returns for the ensuing year justi-
fed the policy Of those who urged the
improvement. In 1902 the net profits
passed the million dollar mark. The
tramways is told in the following table
of profits since the city decided to take
control of the system:

While we do not wish to take away
any OF the Game Mr.. Campbell has
achieved, yet his method has been
known and practiccd by intelligent
farmers before Campbell was born.
The only credit due MIR. Campbell is
his idea Of packing the sol. with a
surface packer. His method of treat
ing the soil in that rcspett is an inn
provement over the old method OF
dragging or rolling. The method en-
ployed by Mr.. Grove and hundreds of

AMAZING GOTHAM GAS FIGURES.
Cost Less Than IS Cents and is Sold
for Dollar,

Interesting figures, giving the actual cost
of producing Illuminating gas and electric
lighting current, were brought out in New
York recently. during the examination of
officers of gas and electric companies by
the committee of the legislature which
is investigating lighting conditions in that
city.
1t was testified by George W. Doune of
the New Amsterdam company that his con-
Germ produced gas at an actual cost of 3d.
cents per thousand cubic feet. selling one
half of the plants production to the Con-
solidated Company at 1898 cents, and dis
tributing the rest to consumers at 81 per
thousand
According to Vice President John w.
Leib, jr., of the Edison Company, the aver
age actual cost of Illuminating current for
the past five years was 4.50 cents per
kilowatt hour the return from customers
being 90l7 cents, the net profit for the
last year being s.. 293, 1913. A surplus of
more than 100000 and fund Of more
than 100000 set aside for depreciation,
had, Mr.. Leib said been put into the plant.

READY FOR LAND ALLOTMENT.
Important Action by Sioux Indians in
North Dakota.

A dispatch from Fort Yates. n. D. says:
In a great council called by Major Nc
Laughlin, the Sioux Indians of this reser-
walton have decided almost unanimously
that they are ready to have their lands
allotted. Each head of family will have
$40 acres. Each Indian over eighteen
years will receive 800 acres. In addition
he will get a span Of good mares. two
cows, a wagon and harness, pillow, har-
row. some other tools and $50 in cash. In
dams under eighteen get ltO acres apiece.
After the allotments have been made
there will be a big surplus of land which
the Indians are bitterly opposed 10 selling.
Each head of a family Will be worth
81 900 in addition to his GiO acres when
Uncle Sam relinquishes guardianship and
turns the Indians over to the states OF
North and South Dakota as full hedged
citizens.
Between 1000 and 100 voters VIII be
equally divided between the two states.
The question of leasing the lands was
aIso nIaced before the Indians by Major
Mclaughlin, but they decided against IL.

FRENCH INVESTORS "HEDGING. ~
Explanation of Demand From France
for Japanese Bonds.

From the New York Times.
In some respects the most interesting in
cident connected with the past weeks SUBJ
scriptions to the half Of the $15O,0OO, 900
Japanese loan floated in New York was
the demand for the bonds from French in
vestors. The most natural explanation of
this action on the part of the French mon
eyed interests was that they are buying
Japanese bonds to mix with their Russian
bonds, so to speak, and strike an average.
In other words they were hedging" This
view of the case, however, was not uni
versally adopted. 1t was suggested in
some quarters that there was as a mat
ter of fact, connection between the
loan and the large amounts of Russian
bonds held in France. The buying of the
bonds of the two countries. it was sug-
gested, was by different individuals, and
was not for the purpose of making up on
Japanese what might be lost on Russian
bonds. The same banker who advanced
this view stated that as a matter of fact
the French had "hedged" extensively by
the purchase of Japanese bonds, but that
they had done so during the earlier Pc
RODS Of the war, when the Japanese bonds,
selling very much below the present QUOTA
lions. At most, however, it is probable
that only a very small proportion of the
French holders of Russian bonds have any
money invested in japanese bonds and that
the vast majority of French investors Will
fail or survive so far as their holdings OF
foreign government securities are concern
ed with the failure or survival of Russian
bonds themselves.
