EVERY FAMILY must have its barrel of -four
and few Of us ever stop to think what this
must mean in the way of production to sup
ply the constant demand The mills of Min
neapolis, Mimi. last year turned out Il, 3C6 096
barrels, or 1880 more than were made there
in 1904. The mills of the Northwest ground
up last year 102. 246.OOO bushels Of wheat

THE GREAT Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has a scheme on hand to build an entirely
separate double-track railroad paralleling its
present line from Pittsburg to Philadelphia
and New York. preliminary estimate fixes
the cost at $50 600 900 and it is said it will take
two years to do the work. The idea is to re-
lieve the present congested condition of affairs
by having one line devoted entirely to passen-
ger and the other to freight traffic.

The BILL to repeal the law pensioning judges
in this State died in the Senate on Tuesday,
when it was indefinitely postponed by vote
of 10 to II. Senator Biddison, of Baltimore
county, was among those who voted for post
ponement The pension law was passed at the
session of 1904 and Senator Robinson, of Har-
ford county, was one of its chief sponsors. 1t
was said that this fact was one of the principal
causes that led to the defeat of Mr. Robinson
for reelection last year. 1t was Senator Cor
man. Of Howard. who introduced the bill to
repeal the pension law.
ACCORDING TO Agricultural Commissioner
Wieting, of New York. there are 20 600 farms
for sale in that State and $4,000 mote la
borers could easily find work upon them. It
would therefore appear that when meapsare
discussed for getting farm laborer immigrants
to go farther West we ignore chances for their
gaining an independent living within a few
hours of the city. We do not know how bad
affairs stand in that State, but the scarcity of
farm labor is almost alarming in some sections.
If we cannot get the unemployed of the city
to go on the farm, then we should endeavor
to obtain the immigrant.
