The Great Western Life insurance
Company, with home office in Kansas
City, Mo-, is a corporation organized
under the laws of the state of Mis-
souri,, and began business on the 18th
day of April, 1907, with an authorized
and paid-up capital of one hundred
thousand dollars (s100, 100000 and up
to and including the BIS day OF De-
cember, 1907, which covered a period
of eight and one-third e 1-3) months,
had written insurance to the amount
of twenty-seve1 million 1927, 900 ,0OO)
dollars, placing it practically in sixth
position among all of the legal re-
serve companies doing business in
the United States during the entire
year.
This record was never equaled by
a new company n either this or any
other country. In consequence of this
very large volume of business being
written il so short a time on the
company's limited capital, it was
deemed pest to increase it's capital
stock to one million Isl 900, 100000
dollars in order to enlarge its capacity
to take care of its insurance opera
lions, and the stockholders and direct
ors have accordingly authorized suen
Increase, and application has beer
made to the proper officials for the
requisite authority.
Experience has shown that Life In
urance stock is the very highest
class Of securities for returning prof
its to investors, and it invariably
sells at a premium.

"THE DEAR OLD DAYS.

Gimme back the dear old days-all

boy stood on the burnin' deck" an
"Binge1 on the Rhine"
9 Twas midnight; in his guarded
tent"-we spoke it high an'low,
While Mary trotted out tina lambs
whose fleece was white as snow"
Gimme back the lear old days that
mem'ry loves to keep,
With "Pilot. it's a fearful night
there's danger on the deep"
The old time, awkward gestures-tne
jerk meant fer a bow
We said that "Curfew shall not ring
but, Lord, it's ringin' now.
Gimme back the e old days-tae
pathway through the dells
To the schoolhouse in the blossoms;
the SOUND of far off bells
Tinklin' 'crost the meadows; the song
of the bird an brook;
The old time dictionary and the blue
back spellin' book.
Gone, like a dream forever-a city's
MD the place
Where stood the OF log schoolhouse,
an 10 familiar face
Is smilin' there in welcome beneath
a morni sky;
There's a bridge across the river. an

GAR FAMINE
SEEMS PROBABLE
Railroads Will Have Rush
of Business.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July %
(SpeciaI Congestion of the traffic o.
the country so great as to materially
jeopardise general prosperity is facing
the country From all indications tho
congestion will be as bad as that of the
Fall and Winter of 1906-1907, wheT
whole communities in the Northwest
suffered throughout an icy winter be-
cause there We're no cars to haul Goa
and business became stagnated be-
cause crops were not moved to mar
ket
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been watching the situation
closely The fact that the railroads
have been operating in the last few
months under heavy expense and with
low rates has forced them to withhold
orders for new equipment. There is
less equipment now available, prob
ably than there was last year, because
many of the old locomotives and cars
have been sent to the junk heap and
have not been replaced. In the face
of this there are evidences of a bust
ness boom and a bumper crop that
would have taxed the power of thor
oughly equipped roads to handle prop
erly.
1t is not at all improbable" said
Chairman Knapp of the commission,
that there will be a great car short
age in the country within the next
few months. All the railroad men
with whom | talk assure me that bus
mess is getting better. Fewer and few
er cars and locomotives are idle.
When, perhaps after the crop has
been harvested, business is once re-
turned to normal there will be more
or less effort to max up for lost time
and then it will develop that during
the period of short revenues the roads
have been scraping along on the
smallest possible maintenance and re-
pair appropriations. They have been
forced to do So Repairs have been re-
duced to minimum. Properties have
in some degree degenerated.
when the business comes back to
them it will have to be handled all at
once, with an equipment not up to
standard. The possibility OF a car
shortage suddenly developing is there
fore anything but remote"
This situation will strengthen the
argument of the railroads which want
to raise rates There is little doubt
that they will use it. The point will
be made that not only more equipment
but greater trackage, is necessary to
keep pace with the countrys growth
and if higher rates cannot be charged
under the law the capital for these
improvements will not be forthcom-
ing

Vacancies on the Ticket
(Leslie's Weekly.)


The brief illness of our popular vice
presidential candidate from New York
State, James S. Sherman. brought nm
the question of the way in which a
national ticket could be filled if. bv
any means, a vacancy on it should
take place between the nomination
and the election The national COM
mlttee would probably fill the vacan-
cy in the case of the vice presidential
candidate but it would be Ioath to
do this in the case of the presiden-
t1al candidate. If a sufficient time
interviewed before the election. the
committee would probably reconyene
the hatlonal convention, and that
/ BODY would make a new nomination
NO presidential candidate of a great
party has ever declined to accept the
nomination after it was made, but
this has happened in the case of vice
presidential candidatse. When the
Democratic convention of 1914 nomi-
mated Silas Wright, of New York. for
vice President, on the ticket with
Polk, with the hope of placatine the
intimate friends of Va nBuren. who
had been defeated for the presidential
nomination by the operation of the
tWo-thirds barrier, he immediately and
preemptorily declined; and the con-
yention, which was still in session.
had to select another man. 1t put up
George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania.
Inc Northern section of Democracy in
1860 nominated Benjamin Fitzpat-
rick, OF Alabama, for Vice President
on the Douglas ticket, but he declined
after the convention had adjourned
Ihen the national committee selected
Herschell Y. Johnson of Georgia. John
Langdon, Of New Hampshire, declined
the proffered vice presidential nomi-
nation in 1912 on the Madison ticket,
Dut the nomination had not actually
been made at that time. The congress
slonal caucus, which did the nominat-
ing IN those days, then selected Elb-
ridge Gerry.
Happily there will be no occasion
Tor the exercise Of any such contin-
gent power this year by either com
mlttee or convention, but it would be
Wen for the national convention of
1872 to take into consideration The
possibility Of the creation of a vacan-
cy on either end of the ticket during
the campaign and outline the way
IN which it could be supplied. These
are days of high pressure on candi-
dates for high Office and the chan
ces OF accidents and emergencies
should be taken into account.

PLANT TIMBER ON
POOR FARM LANDS
(Forest Service Bulletin.)

In every state of the Union there
are many tracts of so-called agricul-
tural land, which, owing to their billy
character, poor soil, or numerous
boulders, are not suitable for farming.
The owners OF. such tracts are often
at a loss to know what to do with
them
Without question, the best use to
which land of this kind can be put is
to plant trees. One of the fundamen-
tai principles of forest economics is,
that soil which is not good enough to
make the growing of cereal crops
profitable should be devoted to the
production of wood crops. This does
not mean that trees grow better on
poor soil than on fertile soil They
WILL of course, grow better on fertile
soil. But, in proportion to the money
invested, better returns are secured
from trees planted on the less valua-
bic land
Most of the cone-bearing trees, and
many hardwoods as well will thrive
in soil Of medium fertility. All trees,
however, do not thrive on poor sandy
ridges, or on hillsides where the soil
is thin. Black walnut, hardy catalpa
and white oak, for their best develop
ment, require a deep, fertile soil, we'll
watered and well drained, and it is
not advisable to plant them where
these requirements are not met.
An Ohio farmer is solving the
problem of what to do with the worn
out farm. He owns and old homestead
Of sixty acres, which he is DESTROYS of
keeping in the family. He does not
live on the place, however, and
farming has been a losing PROPOSE
ton. He has, therefore, decided to
plant the entire tract with trees. He
has already planted $4,000 Norway
spruce, set three and one-half feet
apart each way, on an area of about
eleven acres. These trees will be
cut, as they become large enough, for
Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted
in the spaces left by the removal of
the spruce, and it is expected that they
will begin to come in bearing when
the last spruce is cut. In addition to
the spruce, hardy catalpa, black To-
Gust, elm, boxelder, and sycamore have
been planted. It is planned to put
the entire sixty acres in forest within
five or six years. The owner is wise
in planting several kinds of trees
instead of combining himself to one
species. His forest will be producing
six or seven kinds of lumber, chest
nuts, and Christmas trees, at the
same time
