There seems to be a 1ameness about taking care of the cotton seed. We need some sort of arrangement for holding them for a good price, and an insistance on that price being paid. Last fall many seed were sold as low as twenty cents a bushel. and some lower than that. even. This spring as high as seventy cents was paid for the same seed for planting That does not look like common sense had been used in handling those seed.

Don't make war on the railroads; they are a necessity to this day and to the existing conditions. This does mean that they should not pay taxes and be subject to reasonable regula- tion. These should be reasonable. If a railway should grow valuable. just as piece of land through which it passes grows valuable, there is no sense in getting scared and becoming panic-stritken.

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-Alba B. John

Baldwin Locomotive Works. a part of
whose plant was burned last night, to-
day said that the loss does not exceed

s309,000 in II companies. The firm will
Immediately replace the portion of the
plant destroyed. Mr.. Johnson said the
greatest loss to the firm and one that
money cannot easily replace was the
destruction of electric locomotive draw
ings. An investigation of the origin
of the fire shows that it was started
by a workman throwing away a match
after lighting a cirgarette.
