of the accident that resulted in the death of her father, J. F. Hull, short time ago, an account of which was published the day following.
 According to the letter received yes terday, MT. Hull had started as was his custom with a heavy load of fruit for San Jose. When about half way there the team gave a little start on a bad place in the road and MT. Hull was thrown off the seat and be- tween the front wheel and the wagon bolster. In trying to save himself by grabbing a rope that hung from the seat he became entangled in it in such a manner that it was impossible for him to drop to the ground. He was caught hard and fast and the horse nearest him began kicking him in the head The team ran some distance before help came and by that time Mir. Hull had been beaten into an almost shapeless mass by the horses hoofs and the s9okes of the wagon wheel. Nearly every bone in his body was broken, but despite his awful injuries he survived nearly twenty -four hours, though he never recovered conscious ness.

.BEHER CROSSING
 IN AUTOMOBILE ES
A Practical Demonstration of the Need of One at tke River.

Marshal Bfown and Mayor Dimes made a trip to the crossing at the river yesterady with view to ascer- ,sinins whether or not it would be practical to fill in the crossing a little in order to make it possible for auto mobiles to cross in safety and with out danger of getting stuck in the deep water. There is only one place where the water is deep enough to make it dangerous and that place is not large. It chanced that while the marshal and the mayor were standing there discus sing the proposition, a practical dem- onstratiOn was made of the need of a little work 4 Phoenix auto came spin ming along and started across the river. It dropped into the hole and the water was sufficiently deep to kill the engine. The machine consequently stuck good and proper and was only hauled to dry land with the aid of team. While this was perhaps a little hard on the driver, he can be thankful now that it happened He was really a sacrifice to q good cause for the marshal and the ma-Or immediately decided that something should be done and a force bf men and teams will commence work today filling in the bad place and when the work is finished there will be no more difficulty until there is another rise in the river

MANY FUNCTIONS
 FRIDAY EVENING
A Republican Meeting, a Social Rally and a Normal Dance.

Next Friday evening will offer vari- ety of attractions for the Tempe pub lie. In the first place. a meeting of the republicans of Tempe will be held in the Odd Fellows hall for the purpose of organizing a club and at the same time a ticket will be named to be vot ed upon at the primary election for the naming of delegates to the county con vention which will be held in Phoenix. The organization of a republican club has been considered here for some time past, but it was thought best to wait until the campaign was a little further advanced and then organize the club, making it's life a shorter but more lively one.
 There will be another political fune- ti0n on the same evening-an outdoor meeting on the vacant lots just north of the odd Fellows building This will be an event of a scietific nature and the speaker of The evening will be Joseph P. Cannon, the socialist party nominee for congress. MT. Cannon will answer such questions as Why must millions of people hunger?' Why are millions unemployed?" Why do we have panics?" Who creates the worlds wealth and who owns it?" and various others of a like nature. Aside from these the speaker will answer any questions relating to socialism that may be asked him.
 There will be still another event of a social rather than a political nature. It will be the first Normal dance of the season and will be held at the Goodwin Opera house. Good music has been secured and q nlna sant lime is nss1lrnd

Most of our ambitious young American girls work too hard at school
 Many teachers have little or no judgment about pushing a child beyond her endurance. They ought to know that girls especially have a danger period. Often, too often, utter physical collapse is the result, and it takes years and years to recover lost vitality.
 Many a young girl has been helped over this critical period, and been pre-. pared for a healthy womanhood by

of the dairy and live stock industries These items
are rapidly increasing from year to year in
ratio that foretells the prominence that this Sec
ton of our country is rapidly attaining.
These products particularly fruit and grain, are
largely transported material, and for long
distances. What is most needed in the Pacific
Northwest is the establishment of manufacturing
enterprises that shall transform these raw mate
rails before transportation, thereby retaining the
byproducts for maintaining fertility, and reducing
expense of transportation. 1t is to this problem
that thought and energy will be largely directed
during the next ten years. One phase of this
question is the utilization of the dormant forces
now i'd e. Water that runs down our hillsides on
every hand give a mighty energy that can
be transformed into varied utility Then, too,
there are the tons of refuse from our lOgged-OH
lands that be utilized a useful agency.
But of more Importance than this is the creation
of new forms of activity for the occupation of the
rising generation. The quarter of million now
of school age and their successors will need other
lines of activity than cutting lumber or selling
town lots All about lie the opportunities for
useful occupation in varied industry that will
offset the producer with consumers near at hand
1t is the home market that has rapidly grown in
the past generation in country. 1t is the home
market that need in the next generation in
our rural communities

WHY TAKE AGRICULTURAL PAPERS?

Campbells Scientific Farmer remarks
mo farmer is worthy of the name who does not
read good farm journal He cannot be good
farmer unless he keeps up with the times, and
there is no way except by reading; but the best
farmer is the one who is discriminating in the Sc
lection of his farm paper. He knows what he
wants and gets it. To subscribe for farm paper
that happens to be published nearest you or at
some city in your state just because it is not far
away is not wise. To subscribe for farm paper
just because it is very cheap, or because the editor
of your country paper urged that it be done, or
because it has some splendid continued story for
the children, or because it has lot of good pic
lures, this is also unwise"
Wallace's Farmer, in commenting on the above
statement argues along the following lines
why should man subscribe for farm paper?
Obviously to help him in his work.

OUR MAINsTAY. THE FARMER

Let trusts and corporations burst
Like bubbles in the air,
And every bull in Wall streets length
Be swallowed by a bear.
The land is safe, while rising up
At cock-crow in the morn
The farmer drives his furrow straight
And plants his golden corn.
Let banks close up their iron doors,
And bank officials flee
With all the trusting publics cash
To lands across the sea.
There's nothing in the world to fear,
Well have enough to eat,
While in his broad and fertile fields
The farmer SowS his wheat.
Though railroads should forget to pay
Their dividends when due,
And men promoting wildcat schemes
Look very glum and blue,
There is need to feel alarmed
(Remember what I say),
Unless the farmer should forget
To gather in his hay.

RAILROAD FREIGHT RATES.

In another column we publish letter from Hon.
w H. Paulhamus, commenting on Mr.. Walden's
criticism of the change in classification and rat
ing by the express and railroad companies fruit
shipments during the present season. In that let
ter Senator Paulhamus urges more definite and
ear understanding between producers of fruit
and other lines of farm production and the rail-
road companies
That is precisely the line of action that is being
taken by the farmers of the Palouse region At
COlfaX there have been held several Joint meet
ings, at which Hon. G. B. Kegey, Master of Wash
ington State Grange, presided. Some of the fruit
growers declared that at the rates demanded
their business doomed and they would have
to devote themselves to other lines of production
The railway officials aimed that the rates fruit
were only readjustment to those prevailing three
years ago, and that their company had no desire
to kill any industry. They listened to the argu
ment of the farmers and carried report to higher
officials They also acknowledge it was the farm
ers products that made business for the railroads
Since that time it has been announced that
January 1 there will be a general advance in
freight rates on the transcontinental lines of rail
way that will amount to from to per cent on all
commodities affected. Among those westbound
agricultural Implements clothing, groceries,
hardware, etc.; while eastbound shipments will in
clude fish, canned goods, fruits, hides, etc.
The theory seems to be to charge all the traffic
wi bear This theory is based false
sumption that the prosperity of the nation is
dependent on the prosperity of the railroads. 1t
is on this false premise that these railroad men
are trying to increase their receipts so that they
bond issues partly for. betterments and partly
for stock jobbng transactions.
The true condition of affairs is that when the
country is prospecting there is activity in all lines
of production and commerce, and through this
activity the railroads attain true and lasting pros
perity.
The great productive force of the country is it's
agriculture When lined up against it banks, it's
commerce, its manufactures, it's mines, it's other
lines of industry the $8000,000,000 worth of agri
cultural products for this single year over-shadows
them ALL If the producers of this wealth
permitted to retain and fair share of it's pro-
ceeds, it will be like good seed in good ground
that will spring up and bear harvest of general
prosperity. But if every nonproducing interest de-
mands that the producers shall "stand and deliver
there can be no surer way to strange prosperity
and stife legitimate demands for their line of
service
We are inter-dependent, and the advice to "get
together and talk it over is along the line of true
craftsmanship and good citizenship. 1t is, in this
way, that better conditions can be brought about
if there is right spirit shown.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-10-15

why should the farmer subscribe for farm
paper because his local paper urges that it can be
done and offers it at cheap club rate? Possibly
the purpose may be unselfish 1t may be that it
is simply aiding the farmer by giving him club
rates on any paper or papers for which he wishes
to subscribe This is audable; but it does not nee
essary follow that it either knows or believes
that the paper offered will be helpful to the farmer
in his work.
Neither is it wise to accept paper simply
because it is offered free by some banker, and
comes with signal recommendation. 1t is
fest at the very first glance that his object in
giving the paper is to promote his own interest
by securing the farmers patronage.
Nor is it wise to subscribe for paper simply
because some centralized creamery or some lum
Der firm recommends it, and offers it to you for
nothing if you will take it out of the office. The
sole object is the advantage of the company max
ing the present, and not the education of the farm
receiving it,.
These comments evidently allude to a c'ass of
pseudo farm publications that cheapy gotten
up by some manufacturing firms for advertising
purposes and put in circulation through those
using their products or handling their instalments
of payment for the goods. Of them it be
truthfully said THAT which costs little is of
little worth"
The true farm paper is of an entirely different
character, although it may be placed before the
farmer in a variety of ways, including those men
toned. 1t would be no disadvantage to Campbells
Farmer, Wallaces Farmer nor The Ranch to reach
the working farmer in combination with his local
paper, nor through the other agencies mentioned
of that farmer by disseminating useful information
in disable FORM availab e for the betterment of
his farm conditions and practice.
1t is the variability of these conditions and
forms of practice that makes the necessity for
variety in the matter furnished by the farm press
to different sections of our country. For this rea
every live farm paper is adapted to
particular locality where it in direct
contact with the local conditions. For the same
reason these mongrel, platematter, happy golucky
advertising sheets have particular field and
particular value
1t is to come in closer touch with it's particular
locality and it's widely variant conditions that
