ONE YEAR AGO today the Southern
Railway Company voluntarily increased
the wages of most Of their employees ten
per cent. But conditions have changed.
One hundred and ten men we're dis
charged last Saturday might, and the
work Of curtailing expenses by reduction
of salaries and dispensing with the ser
vices of workmeu is still going on. This
in turn is affecting other industries.
Orders for new locomotives are few and
far between, and the manufactures are
furloughing men by the thousands. Sew
ersl theories are advanced as to the
cause of present conditions. II adverse
legislation is at the bottom of the
trouble, it is high time something was
being done to relieve the depression.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.

"DOn't trife with cold,' is good

Proper food, good ventilation, aud dry

through the changeable weather Of au-

surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight. But the ordinary light cold will
become severe if neglected, and a we'll

diphiheria what honey Is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life at this
season Of the year is the neglected cold"

EXAGGERATED CROP REPORTS

The Hereford correspondent
of the Fort Worth Telegram I'M
der date of May Sd, writes that
the country in and about Here
ford will make from forty to
fifty bushels of wheat per acre. =
This. in the candid opinion Of
The News. is putting it rather
high, but that has gotten to be
the Hereford way since those
seven lines Of railroad got there.
The facts Of the wheat situa-
ton are that the country about
Hereford will make no more grain
per acre than will the country
about Canyon City. The soil is
the same. the climate the same,
the rainfall the same or a tritie
less for Hereford, and the farm
ers, in their nationality, raising
and manner of sowing, cultiyat-
ing and gathering as near alike
as they well can be. The very
highest claim for the yield Of
wheat per acre about Canyon
CITY is by Dr.. $. l.. Ingham. He
says he has "a few acres in his
field that he thinks will make
thirty-fye bushels. The next
highest estimate, coming within
the ken Of The News, is twenty
five bushels and so on down to a
claim Of a general average yield
Of fifteen bushels per acre for
the entire county. The Hereford
country may do as well as this,
The News hopes it will despite
facts which lead to a contrary
view.
The truth Of the matter is that
the Hereford correspondent,
with a view to boom his section
no doubt, has drawn on his i'm
agination for from one-half to
two-thirds of the anticipated
yield 1t is, in fact, an exagger-
ated report without other excuse
than the feyered brain Of a delu-
ded dreamer.
Exaggerated reports of crops
just such as Hereford sends

public generally to have little
