HOW FARMERS COULD SAVE
$28,OOO,Ooo A YEAR.

| have gone to some trouble to
figure out the saving which the farm
ers could make in the handling of
the three great staples, corn, wheat,
and cotton, over hard roads I wish
every farmer in the United States
could have the resultant figures din
ned IN his ears every morning of his
life. If he once gave them considera-
ton the County Supervisor who
dared, by his ballot, record himself as
1nlmlcal to good road extension,
wouldn't dare so abroad without
body-guard
The figures I used were for the
harvest Of 1905-1906 The corn mar
keted that year weighed 19,083,00O
: tons. The average weight Of the
wagon loads hauled was 1896 pounds
and the total number of loads was
14,156,529. The average length of the
haul was IA miles; the total mileage
hauled over 104,758,307. Every ton
hauled per mile cost 10 cents, and the
total cost Of marketing the crop by
wagons was $26,830,698.
The average cost Of hauling over
hard roads per ton per mile would
be not more than 1910, a saving Of
5000 a ton, due to hard roads would
there make the marketing Of such
crop $12,7O9,278 less than the actual
cost.
The saving on the wheat crop
figured $10,256,05S and on the cotton
crop $5,076,1S3. The aggregated
saving to the farmers who marketed
those three staples would have been
$28,041 $40. IF the farmer wants
stronger reason than that for cham
pioning the building Of good roads
IN his county, I'll have to refer him
elsewhere. / know no stronger one

What is said IS good and true, but
1T goes only half far enough. The
fertility Of the lands must be pre-
served or there will come time when
people will get hungry. The most APP
proved system Of cultivation must be
adopted and the latest improved i'm
plements and machinery employed or
farmers will grope in the shadows of
the forgotten years while everybody
else is working in the sunlight of
progress. But two bushels of grain
or two bales Of cotton are not always
worth twice as much as one. Profta-
bic farming depends upon profit
able marketing, and calls loudly for
attention to the selling side Of farm
ing, the side that until very recent
years has been wholly ignored. While
the State and the nation are very
properly adopting measures to foster
and encourage farming, the part of
farming upon which the income de-
ponds should not be neglected. Help
ing farmers to raise big crops, only
to become the spoil of greedy specula-
ton, is like leading a flock of sheep
into rich pasture while greedy
wolves are protected in every ad-
jacent thicket, to rush and prey upon
the flock whenever there is drop of
blood more than is required to sustain
life. The best service government
could render the flock is to drive out
the wolves, or at least extract their
fangs.
But farmers are not so helpless as
the sheep. They can protect them
selves if they will. Their blood is
their own, and so is their sweat, and
the wolves cannot get it unless it is
voluntarily surrendered Corpora
ton and controlled marketing make a
wall the wolves can neither crawl
through nor climb over.-Up-to-Date

ROSENBERG ACQUITTED

Jacob Rosenberg was found not

tried him for receiving brass nails
stolen from the United States.
AS happened last week, when Rosen-
berg was acquitted, by directed YER
dict, on the charge of receiving stolen
metal, this second acquittal was fol-
lowed by the arrest of Rosenberg on
a cognate charge, while two more in
dictments were yet pending against
him.
District Attorney Breckons now
swore to warrant charging him with
receiving certain personal property

of one dollar-'which said personal

GRAND ROUNDUP
Of BLIND Pic JOINTS

A record haul of blind pigs was
made yesterday by Lieutenant Lua-
hiwa, of the police department, as
sisted by License Inspector Fennell,
the number of arrests made and raids
recorded being nine. These are, with
one exception, japanese restaurant
keepers throughout the city, the one
exception being Lum Zip Kee, a chop
house man. The names of the Japa-
nese on the blotter are Tagami, Ada,
Yamashita, Yashigawa, Murakami,
Oshimf, l3ochimura and F'ugikawa, al
though it is stated that all these names
are fictitious ones. The whole number
were rele ased shortly after their ar
rests on bonds of $3.50 each.
During the raiding, when the police
were capturing bottles of liquors by
the score, the word was hurriedIy pass
ed out to other suspected joints, and
before the police arrived at these
places on their grand roundup, much
evidence had been either spirited away
or destroyed. Enough has been Sc
cured, however, according to the ideas
of the police, to secure the conviction
of the majority, if not all, of those
arrested.

National Civic Federation Closes With
Brilliant Banquet.

New York, Dec. 16.-The annual
session of the National Civic FEEDER
alton in this city closed last night
with brilliant banquet which group
ed together at one of the five score of
individual tables Presidential Taft
and Mrs. Taft, Samuel Gompers, Au-
gust Belmont, A B. Garretson, chief
of the Brotherhood of Railway Con-
ductors; Melville e. ingalls,, former

President Seth Low of the federation

banquet hall sat employers and many
employees of corporations. John d.
Rockefeller, jr., and Frank B, KEEL
logg, who has been prosecuting the
government inquiry into the Standard
Oil company were near neighbors,
though not at the same table. An
drew Carnegie and John Mitchell sat
side by side
The notable throng of men and wo-
men brought together by the fedora
ton led Mr.. Taft who was the princi-
pal speaker of the evening to remark
that he had been sitting with COM
pany with which it hardly would have
been well for him to associate prior to
the election. He then declared that
all that had happened before the cleo
ton was as a closed book to him and
he would be the president of all the
people. Mr.. Taft was the last of eight
speakers.
The Sherman antitrust law had
been attacked by Mr.. Ingalls, who as
sailed it as an Anticipated measure
which should be entirely driven from
the rescue of the law and said that
while he believed with others that
certain amendments were necessary
he would be opposed to any attempt
at it's repeal
Mr. Taft said:
Thine was when everybody who
employed labor was opposed to labor
unions. Time was when these or
CARNATIONS were regarded as men
ace That this has now been largely
passed away and the man who today
objects to the organization of labor
should be relegated to the last CEN
fury. Labor unions have done mar
velous things for labor and in the flu
reduction to level of all working
men, whether earnest and energetic
or shiftless in their work.
Labor unions will encourage. work
level upward and will exemplify that
those who lead in energy will have
the leadership and the reward
Mr.. Taft declared that he believed
that laborers on the one hand and
capitalists on the other have equal
rights of organization for the protec-
ton of their own interests. Mr. Car
negie created a storm of approval
When ne declared that he believed
the problem of capital and labor
would be solved through a profit
sharing plan which would make all
men 1aborers and all men capitalists
Mr.. Gompers declared that every
man associated with organized labor
hoped that Mr.. Taft's administration
would be pre- eminently successful
and would bend every effort to the
attainment of that purpose. Mr.. In
