ALI Of the railroads which handle
bituminous coal are putting on extra
trains and rushing coal to the west and
the northwest, where the supply of
stored coal Is about exhausted. This
will result In greatly reducing the
number of idle cars and will give them
work until the crop movement begins.
An unusually large crop in all of the
western states is now assured and rail-
road managers are ordering shop men
back to work to get cars ready for the
car shortage which is going to take the
place of crowded sidings as soon as
the crop begins to move. The tide has
turned. Who is going to ride on top Of

A Few Acres of Trees.
(WeSt TexaS .Jo11rnal.O

The Importance of timber on the
farm is becoming palmer each year.
The uses and needs are many. and
these increase as the farm becomes
older The one feature of fencing Gre
ates within itself almost constant de-
mand for timber for posts. Iron and
stone are sometimes suggested as the
coming fence post. This sounds as
tho the farmer was absolutely helpless
in the matter of supply. The farmer
need not look to any source outside
his land resources for fence posts or
fuel, if he decides that he will plant
and produce these himself. The grove
of quickly growing timbers will in a
few years supply fence posts and fuel
for all the needs of the farm. 1t is sim
ply matter of planting and rearing
for tree growth.
1t does not require the life time of
man to do this and reap the benefits.
Sure. 1t will take from ten to twenty
years to see these trees satisfactorily
serviceable, vet this time is often spent
on a prairie homestead without any
effort being made to plant, cultivate,
or grow tree.

Clover GROWING.

Glover occupies place in Iowa ag-
ricultural that no other crop can fill.
AS source Of cheap protein and as
nitrogen gatherer 1t is indispensable to
both the live stock and the grain
farmer. At the present time. however.
clover is a secondary crop, both in
acreage and in value. For every acre
of clover in the state there are Is
acres Of timothy and 46 acres Of corn.
At the same time farmers are buying
large quantities of high priced concen-
trates for feeding purposes, and in
some cases commercial fertilizers to
maintain the productivity Of their soil,
when clover will cheaply supply both
of these needs. One of the reasons
for the small acreage Of clover is the
difficulty in securing stand. This is
especially noticeable in the southern
part Of the state, where the soils are
often low in humus. The soils depart
ment of the Iowa Experiment Station
has been conducting a series of exper-
iments with view to putting clover
growing on a more certain and profit
able basis. The results of these in
vestigations may be obtained free upon

REVERSAL OF THE FINE Expected.

None but the unsophisticated will

reversal of s29,OO0,0G0 fine imposed
upon the Standard Oil company by
Judge Lands. A sum of that magni-
tude Is worth litigating until kingdom

The T.-R. frankly predicted on the
morning that the fine was imposed that
it never would be paid and the course
Of this litigation confirms the predic-
ton. The only kind of punishment
wealth is the long time Jail sentence.
Unless our courts can find a way to
lock the erring managers behind the
bars to be fed on prison diet and
dressed in stripes the laws designed
to curb corporations will be laughed
at and violated with impunity.

fine large enough to punish the law

MILLS ARE ResuMInG.

The return to full time operation by
a number of New England cotton mills
has been the latest sign Of return Of
general trade prosperity in that Sec
ton. Most of the mills which have re-
sumed full time schedules have been
running on half or three quarters time
for several months past and the re-
sumption Is hailed as an indication of
the beginnings of a general return to
full capacity production Some Of the
mills which have not yet resumed full
time have increased their hours Of OPP

A general resumption of all the In

is expected by August first. BY that
time, 1t is asserted, every mill in the
district will be running to its full ca

which started last fall will be at an
end Announcement has been made
that orders now on the books of the
United States Steel corporation have
already justified the resumption of full
time in every mill owned by the cor

AN UNUSUAL CAMPAIGN YEAR.

AS usual thing the campaign year
when the national control for the COM
ing quadrennial term is an issue brings
about quietness in the business
movement Of the country. There is ap-
prehension that things may not go
right at election time and capital fears
that some one may get the reins OF
government who will fail to exercise
that calm discretion and good judg-
ment in which necessarily lies the
safety of the country as business
market as we'll as social sphere and
world power.
In the presidential election season
the business man is usually prone to
steer away from any point that may
mean expansion or additional expense.
He does not want to enlarge his stocks
and he watches his credits with more
care than usual. He will not add to his
force of employees unless the business
imperatively demands it and hates to
make a move until after the election
is decided.
AS a usual thing this hesitation is
not without its healthy aspect for a
little caution occasionally is not to be
disparaged But as rule the country
elects it's men. and they take office and
administer the affairs of the country
with reasonable soundness of decision.
The business circles begin to move at
their wonted pace even before any
measures of moment are undertaken by
the administration, having apparently
discounted any undesirable tendency
on the part Of the national manage
ment.
While the national election has in
the past proved more or less of bug
bear and has seemingly not been justi-
fled by subsequent experience yet it
has been leverage which may have
done an amount of good entirely I'M
1t begins to look as II
this year might prove an exception to
the rule of the election year bugaboo.
Last fall business had a severe set
back owing to an excessive expansion,
and over confidence. and ever since
that time the states have been showing
their recuperative powers. Business
houses that drew in their travelling
statesmen have been putting them back
on the road. The railroads which had
to shut down their shops because of
the less need for motive power and
rolling stock have been going back to
their old Industrial pace. The Buring-
ton route shops at Creston have gone
back to 10-hour day, six days
week as before and the Union Pacific
shops at Omaha have recently put sew
eral hundred men back to work
It is a demonstration that the coun-
try has not lost its elasticity in get
ting over a reverse and that even an
ercising its natural rebound. The
election year dullness seems to have
hit us just a bit sooner than usual and
with little more force than was
pleasant. But confidence is restored, the
country is coming to its own with the
assurance of four years under the lead
ership of William H. Taft. and the
crops are all that sanguine agricult-
ural, railroad and market men could
wish for.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Marion Register says: "The es-

"One of the Iowa men who have
been making big land deals is Noah
Williams of Ida Grove. Recently he
purchased of the Humboldt Cattle
Company a forty thousand acre ranch
in the state of Nevada" says the Keo-
sauqua Republican. "Mr. Williams
owns several large farms in Iowa and
this late purchase makes him one OF
the largest land owners in the United
States. Iowa citizenship is bound to
keep itself in the lead in matters OF
utility"
This is from the Manila Times: "1f
you desire to reform your fellows re-
member that example is more potent
than precept, and vastly more agree
able than precept in the form 1T Is
usually propounded. Attend to your
own business is rather bluff advice,
but it is worth considering. Your fell
lows have faults, no doubt about IT.,
but If they occupy much of your at
tention, the chances are ten to one
that their virtues outnumber your own
ten to one. Just keep in mind that
YOU have housekeeping of your own to
do. Nobody likes a busybody."
The Ames Intelligencer says that
this years demand for agricultural i'm
plements is reported to be the largest
on record, which item. in connection
with the crop news, is the best sort OF
prosperity talk.
"The way to pay your debts and es-
tablish your credit is to get trusted at
home for everything you can procure,
put off your creditors as long as pos
sible, and spend what money you do
happen to have in railroad fares, circus
tickets and good time that you can't
get trusted for" the Ocheyedan Press
remarks.
"There never has been a time In
the history of our country when ex-
pert and intelligent young men, who
have been taught practical life les
sons and thoroughly educated for
business, were in such demand as at
present" according to the Ames Intel
ligencer. $50 great is the money cap
ital in our country, so sharp is the
competition, so great is the value of
time. and so expert have leading bus
inessmen become, that young men no
longer have a chance to excel. and
hardly to succeed in any calling. unless
they are trained directly for this
