Narrow Margin Of Profit.


There has been for several years past
in Georgia, first one and then another Of
the labor organizations demanding and re-
celving an increase in the pay of its mem.
bers The railroads find themselves at thu
present time embarrt- ssed with pay rolls
Whlch their employees say must not be
reduced and an income which is constant
ly on the decrease. The conditions that
surround us call for display of the high
est patriotism and intelligence of which
our people are capable. 1t is a time
when foolish men should remain silent
IT is a time for wise suSges. ions in the
place of wild assertions. The people Of
Georgia in their wisdom enacted last
year law which clothes a commission
with all the power of the state to pro-
hlbit imposition by the strong upon the
weak. In this day of mighty organiza-
tons the individual counts for little. The
legislature cannot administer his property
or protect his rights. because it is too
large body and meets infrequently. The
courts may offer the individual theoretical
protection. but their intervention might be
worse than the evil Of which he complains.
To supply tribunal which can hear the
individual at any and all times without
formal restraints and without ceremony
and tribunal clothed as it is wi h the
power of the state, capable to administer
speedy justice both to the railways and
the shippers, was the purpose of the state
in increasing the number and charging
the powers of the railroad commission
The truth which overhangs the whole
situation said Mr. McLendon. in con-
clusion. lis that the lines of cost and COM
each other that the margin Of profit Is
smaller. and under the law of economic
compulsion every man will have to bear
his share of the burden"

EMPTY BIN YEAR.
A Remarkable Variety
of Wheat.

The supply Of wheat in the elevators
of the United States is much less than
for several years past at this season.
Farmers also had less wheat on hand
a. the beginning of the new crop year
than for several years. So remarka-
bic are the conditions that this has
been called the Empty Bin Year"
1t is evident that consumption has
overtaken, or rather gotten ahead Of
producticn, Good prices are bound to
prevail for this and future whea.
crops. We believe the time has come
when farmers can safely increase their
wheat crop without danger of breaking
down the price
We have before us a catalog of
seed wheat from the O. X. Seed Store,
Box 115, Indianapolis, Ind, in which
is this statement: Good seed is a
better guarantee Of a crop than cul,i-
walton or fertilization" This is large
ly true. In tn same catalogue we
find reports of big yields of Harvest
King wheat as follows:
FROM CLARKE CO, IND.
Harvest King wheat was far ahead
of all other kinds l. yielded 50 bush
els an acre while ether wheat by its
side yielded 10 to y bushels"
FROM ALLEGHENY Co, PA.
The Haryes. King wheat is the
king of the harvest field. My yield
was 4S14 bushels per acre Nothing
like it was ever seen here before. us
worth $500 a bushel for seed"
FROM RUSH CO., IND.
-. A. w. sowed SO acres of Harvest
King wheat; % was on fallow ground
which yielded 40 bushels per acre, and
2S in stock ground which yielded SO
bushels per acre-2,OS3 bushels from
SO acres"
FROM MUSKINGUM CO., o.
Everyone is delighted and amazed
at the Harvest King wheat. One Of
the oldest farmers in this section, who
has grown wheat for forty years, said
he had never seen such a perfec, field
of wheat"
Good seed certainly has much to do
with the crop. If farmers in this
county would give attention to the
seed it would mean gain of thous-
ands of dollars a year. 5 to 10 BUSH
els more per acre on wheat is a big
thing. The little extra price you
might pay for good, vigorous seed over
the cost of ordinary wheat is Moth
ing, compared to the extra yield and
quality. Those who want to learn
more about this remarkable variety
should write to the o. X. Seed Store,
Box 115, Indianapolis, Ind, who first
introduced the Harvest King and 9TH
err famous kinds. 1872

The will was not made until a mont

her friends that, having no relatives,
and who had relations with notedLon
money. I'D marry again." she told
a friend, 'if Baronet came along and

The friend did not think the old
lady was serious and jesdngly repeat

A society man who was at the dinner
and who had relations with a notedLon
don matrimonial agent reported the
femark to this agent, who coincident-
ally had been approached a fortnight
previously by penniless BaTonet who
wanted to marry rich woman.
The Baron was a widower and also
a septuagenarian. The matrimonial
agent and the society man conferred

Why Stock Require Salt.

The requirement that all cattle,
horses and sheep grazing under per-
NIT on the National Forests be given
salt at frequent intervals is a regula.
tion which has been found to go
long way in protecting the range and
conserving the forage crop.
Experience has been shown that the
want of salt makes stock restless. If
cattle and horses are not supplied as
they need 1t, they roam and wander,
haunting old sailing grounds used in
previous seasons, trampling the forage
plants instead of eating them, paving
the ground, and in other ways injuring
the range. But if their cravings are
supplied, they scatter peacefully over
the pasture grounds and feed at their
leisure.
Salt is so necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range, that no flockmaster would think
of getting along without it. II sheep
do not receive their usual supply it is
only with great difficulty that they can
be held in bonds or kept in camp at
night. So far as sheep are concerned,
uo ny Law Is really AcCcS-
sary, because the owners for their own
convenience, will salt their focks. But
cattle are not herded and the owners
might neglect to salt them If the reg
ulations were not strictly enforced.
Stock on different ranges require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head of
sheep would be from 1000 to 1900
pounds each year. For like number
of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds
a year is required. Horses need less
than cattle.
Old hunters. in the days of the pio-
neers, knew that deer and buffalo
travelled long distances to lick salt in
saline springs. The Blue Licks on
Lickingriver, in Kentucky, and sim
liar mineral spring on Elk river, in
West Virginia, were famous for the
herds of deer, buffalo and elk which
frequented them. The adjacent ground
was so deeply tramped that the marks
were to be seen many years after the
places ceased to be visited by these
animals.

Miners Accept Tonopah Scale.

Goldfield, Nev.-Local No. 220. West
ern Federation of Miners, Thursday by
a referendum vote decided by a vote
of 455 to 256 to accept the TonOpah
scale of wages and declare the strika
off as to those properties which will
pay the Tonopah scale.
Some days ago representatives OF
thirteen different leases agreed to pay
the Tonopah scale. which is 80 cents
a day less than the former Goldfield
scale, but so cents more than the scale
recently adopted by the Mine Opera
tors Association.
The Mine Owners Association will
not grant the advance. The associa
tion companies include all the big
mines OF the camp and against these
latter the strike is still in effect.
The miners Thursday elected an
ultra-conservative president by a vote
of four 20 one against the radicals.
The vote does not call of the gen.
eral strike, as has been reported. 1t
affects only about seventeen leases and
smaller mines in the camp. the own
ers of which have agreed to pay $3.50
day, or the same scale that 10 in ef-
feet at Tcnopah.
Within two or three days perhaps
100 federation men will return to work
under the new rules. The Consoli-
dated Mines Company is still under
the ban and several others as well who
stick for $500 a day.
1t is said that the camp will continue
to be open, without formal recognition
Of the federation by any Of the opera
tors. The seventeen leasers and 9TH
ers have become dissatisfied with some
OF the rules of the operators associa-
tion and have decided to get their men
back at work, although still refusing
to pay the IS scale.
The vote Thursday may be regard
ed as significant in that 1t opens the
way for fuller resumption Of work. The
new head Of the union is Ed. Stone,
formerly OF Colorado.

Death Of A. e. Mulqueen.

Denver.-Yesterday afternoon at st.
Joseph's hospital occurred the death OF
Hon. Andrew E. Mulqueen after an ex-
from a complication Of diseases, includ-
ing kidney trouble, and was brought
here some time ago from his home in
Aspen, and was built up in strength at
the hospital so that he withstood the
shock o fan operation very well. Later
a second operation was necessary to re-
lieve his suffering, and 1t was while he
was on the road to recovery that he
contracted cold, which developed into
pneumonia with fatal results.
Mr.. Mulqueen was a man Of flfty-one
years and is survived by wife and
two children, rs we'll as brother and
sister. He was we'll known throughout
Colorado. having served In the Legis-
lature during 1866. At Aspen he was
engaged in the real estate and insur-
ance business, together with numerous
projects, such as irrigation. etc. He
belonged to a number OF fraternal or
ganizations, which gave him wide ac.
Quaintance. He was past exalted ruler
of the Elks and belonged to the A. O..
U. W., Odd Fellows. WoOdmen Of the
World and Modern Woodmen.
He had been twenty-five years citi-
zen of Colorado and had been identified
with the carly growth Of Aspen. He
held various positions Of trust In that
city, being at one time assistant post
master. and at another period county
clerk and recorder.
