Slightly Confused.

The father of a large family in Gil
bertville took his fourteenth child to
the church to be christened. On en-
tering the church, and while prepara-
tions were being made, the priest ask
ed him by what name he would like to
call the child.
The father said he had forgotten the
name the family had chosen, so the
priest mentioned several, which were
not the right ones. At last the father
agreed to call it Michael, so when the
ceremony was finished and the people
were leaving he turned to the priest
and said: Il don't know what my wife
will say, for we have Michael at
home, and this is girl"

COMING LOCOMOTIVE POWER.

The farmer will never be able,to en-
tirely substitute any power for the
horse.
Traction engines may become useful
in certain kinds of work on lands that
are practically level, and gasoline
may take the place of horse power for
stationary work. but the great variety
and the diversity of farm labor must
still be done by the horse.
The same may be true OF city traffic.
The cable and later the electric car,
have driven the horse from the front
of the street car in the cities. The
automobile has largely taken his place
in the handling of traffic where time
is an element To go back further in
history the railroad has driven the.
horse from the state coach and freight
traffic business.
Now the automobile has invaded his
rural retreats and is likely to become
Il rival in much of the work in which
the horse has appeared at his best.
AS means of quick transportation
the automobile must certainly take IN
advanced position.
They have not become general as
yet, because the cost is largely pro-
hibitive.
Once the cost of gloss and finish S
removed, and the price is made COM
mensurate with the usefulness of the
machine rather than with its finish,
they will be as nearly in the reach of
the public as are the fine horses, and
in many things they will take the place
of that animal.
The skill necessary to operate ma
chine is no more than is required tc
handle and care for horse properly,
while the trouble from breakdowns
and other accidents is not half so
much as Is required to care for horse
three times a day every day in the
year.
This does not mean that there will
be no use for the horse, and that those
engaged in rearing them are to be
driven from business. There will al
ways be large field for the horse to
occupy, and it would seem that large
part of it is assured to him for all
time, but it is well for those in the
business of horse raising to give heed
to the signs of the times and so adapt
their methods and plans to prospective
conditions that the new uses may be
multiplied rather than that fight De
made to occupy field that will inevi-
tably go to another locomotive power

Work Too Many Ho-srs.
In recent speech made by p. 81.
Morrissey, grand master of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, he de-
ciared that railway employees We're
compelled to work too many hours to
insure safe traffic on the roads. He
said:
There is no other occupation to-day
IN which men are forced to be more
alert and active and yet are expected
to remain in service so many hours at
time. Laws should be enacted to
protect the railroad man. We should
work unitedly in an effort to procure
the enactment of measures providing
for the maintenance of the families of
railroad men who meet with misfor-
tune. If railroad companies can be
forced by legislation to install safety
appliances for the benefit of the ma
irons of the road, it would be no moro
than fair that the employees themselves
and their families should be taken
care of. We hear about the SHINING
rates and what benefits passengers
should receive from the roads they IA
tronize, but all the time the vast army
of our dead and the train of mourners
who follow the victims of the merei-
less railroad march pass UNDECIDED.
There should be provided by law a
compensation act, forcing the railroad
to provide an annuity for the family
equal to the earning power of the in
iured man"

Conquest Of IL. Great
American Desert
&Sss-S.5eS--

The development Of irrigation brings
with it a multitude of problems which
increase in variety and Importance as
the land becomes settled and the ca
pacity Of the water supply taxed to a
greater extent. Many of these prob
lens lie at the very heart of practical
irrigation. The relations between farm
ers under irrigation are far closer and
more intimate than under the condl-
tons of farming in the east, and the
community of interest is necessarily
much more IN evidence. One man may
ruin his neighbours land by imprC Der
management of his water, and the con
tinued waste Of water prevents the
bringing of new areas under cultiva-
ton and thus restricts settlement.
DR.. Mead's report recently issued)
calls special attention to the increas-
ing cost of water, which the farmer
must have whether the cost is great or
small. During the past five years this
cost has risen enormously in nearly
every western State. Certain water
rights in Colorado, for example, which
were originally purchased for So an
acre now sell for $50. Where former
" 80 cents an acre foot for water
would have been regarded as a prohibit
tive price, farmers last year paid 81 an
acre foot. Fully S2O,0OO,O00 was paid
by irrigators last year for the water
they used. In many cases, from lack
of knowledge how to use the water
economically, they wasted and misap-
piled enormous quantities, thereby in
jdring their crops and their land and
incidentally that of their neighbors
through seepage.
During the investigations of the past
few years many instances of overirri-
CATION have come under observation.
With the restricted supply in many To-
calities, the wasteful or unskillful use
Of water by one farmer often means
that the crops Of some other farmer
must suffer because of it or that land
must remain uncultivated. The area
farmed, the yield of crops and the con-
tinued productiveness of the soil all
depend on knowing how to use water
Alright and on the establishment OF
laws and regulations to compel this
when men know and refuse to heed

the lowest wages are paid and prac-
tically only women are employed. AS
6 result, the men Of Dundee are being
reduced to the position of parasites.
A great many cases are found in
which men who should be workers sub
sist upon the wages Of their wives.
1t may be that there is compensa-
ton for the apparent evil of this
change in the greater independence CIV
en- women by their wider employment,
and that they, by reason of this indie
pendence, exercise more careful choice
when they do marry and are able to
exact higher standard of morals and
behavior in men.
Whatever we may think about 1t, it
is certain that the employment Of wo-
men Increases at tremendous rate.
In this, as in other tendencies of our
civilization, no reversal is to be looked
for. The revolution must be accepted
and mankind must find some way to
benefit by the change.
But look at the number Of advertise
ments in the papers by men who want
situations and ask yourself what can
be done with the superfuous male

men. Women work for lower wages
and they are better adapted for light
industry.
Is this process of substitution a good
or bad thing for the workers them
selves and for the country? If men,
who generally require higher pay, be-
cause, as a rule, they have to bring up
family, are crowded out Of work by
women, who take lower wages, because
so long as they work they remain IN
married, and because in many in
stances they receive free from their
parents some part of their cost Of liv-
Ing, the result would be anything but
good.
1t may be wondered If this is not a
leading cause of so-called race suicide.
The male portion of the population Is
less able to marry, because not earning
enough to maintain family, while
women with comfortable and ADEQUATE
earnings Of their own have less desire
to accept marriage.
In the city of Dundee, Scotland, the
substitution of female for male labor
has reached a climax. Dundee makes
cheap goods for export, in competition
with Chinese and Japanese labor. Only

Even the most constant readers of
newspapers scarcely realize the revolu-
ton being brought about by the in
creasing employment Of women In all
Industries. Within a short time, the
Young Women's Christian Association
of New York City found places for
4,oG0 girls and young women in offices,
about one-third Of whom replaced male
clerks.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany, which few years ago employed
only men in its New York Office, has
replaced one-half Of the men with wo-
men.
Mana gers claim that women are
smarter and more Trustworthy than
men. 1t also appears that women en-
ployed are content with considerable
less wages than men employees.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, of New York, employees 100
women in its offices and 800 men. The
same thing is largely true in business
offices all over the United States.
In factories, a similar change has
been brought about. In many indus
tries, men are only employed as fore

GROWING PEcANs.

Industry of Importance in the South
The first big consignment of large
paper shell pecans of the season wa
received in Kansas City last week
The industry is a growing one in the
South, and each year sees an increase
of acreage devoted to pecan trees.
The large pecan is the result of cult
walton by selection of choice wild
nuts, eliminating by degrees all bao
features.
The nuts sell at wholesale at SO
cents a pound on the track, and tire
supply has never been equal to the
demand. Few of the large paper smell
variety are found in the Kansas City
market, as they are snapped up by
eastern buyers.
The pecan tree grows to be over
100 years old, and each year after
the tenth year it may be expected to
bear from eighteen to sixty pounds
of nuts. The best soil is alluyial
develop faster in poorer soil, but the
yield is not as good. In rich soil
only ten trees should be planted to
an acre
The nuts grow on the terminal
Cwigs of the trees They are en-
closed in pods, which open in Novem
Der and allow the nuts to fall to the
ground There is nothing to do to
the trees as they are forest trees and
prune themselves. One has only to
gather the nuts. The trees often
grow to a height of It's feet and
spread from seventy-hve to ninety
feet.
The nut is planted in the nursery
and the young tree is allowed to grow
until it is two or three years old.
Then the best specimens have graft
ed upon them gratis from bearing
paper shell pecan trees. The trees
remain in the orchard one year, and
then are transplanted. After trans
planting they begin to bear in from
four to six years, according to SOIL
poor soil producing nuts earlier tnan
good soil, but the trees are never as
large or prolific as trees planted IN
good soil.
There are many varieties of the pa.
per shell pecan nut. The government
Department of Agriculture, bureau of
pomology, is authority for the state
ment that the pecan is taking pre-
cedence over all other nuts, and that
there is practically no other nut in
competition. One of the best varie-
ties is the Stuart, other good paper
shell pecans are the Russell, Van
Deman, Pabst Jewett and Columbia.
While the trees are small other
crops are grown between, such as cot
ton, corn or sugar cane. One pecan
tree last year bore crop that sold
at wholesale for $84. The tree was
twenty years old. There are families
whose entire living is made on from
one to three acres of fancy pecan
bearing trees-Kansas City Journal.

mirars proposals for a reconciliation
of the colonies and the mother country.
They refused to treat, however, ex-
