THE railroads." said Mr.. Fodrea, more
than any other institutions, are vitality in

In the advancement OF scientific agriculture,
which means addition Of millions to the
country's wealth. All companies for years
past have paid considerable attention to the
better development of the lands along their
lines. The railroads gave great encourage
ment to the national irrigation movement
at Just the right time. for these are rap
idly Transforming hundreds OF thousands of
acres OF what was once the great American
desert into productive farms.
Crop failures are not known in western
Nebraska and Wyoming under irrigation
and the railroads can rely upon having a
steady demand for thousands Of cars each
year to move the products of the farms
where formerly nothing grew. 1t is estI-
mated that in the western states are $780,
100000 acres of land. either entirely unpro-
duetive or used only for grazing. and the
schemes now in contemplation and which

DIR. Lorenz had a great many things to
contend with when he was here, said one
New oYrk physician. He was practically
forced to perform operations on many
children too old to be operated upon with
any great chance of success The appeals
made by their parents and others however,
were such that he felt he would be open to
censure IL he refused. These cases probably
have not turned out successfully and would
therefore reduce the percentage of cures.
Operations for dlslocation of the hip are
rather rare just now because at the time
OF DIR. Lorenz's visit the entire stock Of
patients It would seem, was exhausted
and we have to wait for a new crop"
Statistics have been compiled, showing
that Of the cases in and around Chicago
the cures have been about % per cent.
Some physicians say that this is very
good record considering theN nature Of the
trouble.-New York Sun.

In search of his mother. He went to
Golden Gate park and other refugee camps,
but could not find her, Finally a friend,
Mrs. Williams told him his mother was on
Union Pacific train about ready to pun
out. He applied for transportation, but 1t
was refused him because there was no
guardian with HIM
He got on the train anyway and rode the
rods on a plank, on the top OF the car and
under the seats until he got to Denver,
where he was arrested and locked up over
night. In the morning he says he was re-
leased and he sold papers for enough money
to buy his breakfast. Then he came on TO
Omaha. He has been at the detention home
two or three days. He says he has a
brother. Tom Harris, who lives in Chicago
