The one survivor of the party of
four Americans who started two years
ago to walk from Buenos Aires, in
South America, to New York, says he
will finish the journey if it takes him
II years. This is rather a useless am
bition. Professionalism has its vir-
tues. but walks that take years to COM

Future Ideal Town.

TGIuIS tOcdi own.
In the ideal town of the future, as
pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge, the
houses will have gas for heating by
open fires and for cooking, and cleo
tricity for lighting. The gas, pro-
duced from the coal at the mine, will
be sent long distances through pipes,
as water is now distributed 1t is
hoped that the experiment will be tried
soon, the burning of crude coal in town
being absolutely forbidden, and at least
two English towns are already consid-
ering the plan. The publication OF
the air is one of the greatest needs in
the improvement of the conditions Of
city life.

The Value of Cow Peas.-They can
be grown as far north as Dent corn
can be grown, and on land SO poor that
clover would not catch at all. They
are called the poor mans clover" be-
cause you can get such quick results.
A crop of COW peas can be grown in
three months, and it will be fully equal
to two years crop of clover. You
can SOW the peas any time from May
to August and can get good big crop
following an early crop taken of in
June or July. Plowed under after the
first frost, they will leave the ground
in elegant shape for crop next year.
The seed costs about $3.50 per bl shell
and should be drilled in at the rate of
one-haIf bushel per acre.

CONGRESSMAN MURPHY ASKS
THAT THEY BE INVESTI-
GATED,
AFTER PHILIPS AND MCPHERSON
Says They Went on Fishing Trips
With Railroad Attorneys De-
tails Charges Against Kan
sas City Judge.

washington, ID. C--Makfng serious
charges against Federal Judges Phil
lips of the Western district of Mis-
souri, and Mcpherson of the Southern
district Of Iowa, Representative Mr.
ply of that state introduced a resolu-
ton yesterday to investigate their
conduct in the litigation between the
state and railroad companies over the
maximum freight law and the Mis-
souri, 2-cent passenger rate law.
The preamble of the Murphy resolu-
| ton claims that the two judges ac-
! companied certain railroad attorneys
on a fishing trip, on which occasion
members of the party were arrested
for violating the game laws of the
state.
The resolution charges that Judge
! Phillips neglects his duty by continued
absence from the bench, and that
when he does preside the court is in
session for only four hours each day.
Mr.. Murphy desires the general con-
| duct of Judge Phillips investigated
| contending that he is insulting to the
attorneys who are compelled to prac-
tice in his court and also that he has
at various times instructed the jury
to bring in a certain verdict. In the
jury brings in a different verdict, de-
clares the resolution, Judge Phillips
becomes insulting, and practically
charges that they have violated their
oaths as jurors.
The resolution recites the phase Of
the violation, including a statement
! ho{ ho dc To toh \
certain rates in the state in violation
of the antitrust law
1t is alleged that the two judges rem
! dered certain decisions which in eff
feet usurped the legislative powers OF
the legislature.

Kansas City, MOI will demand
an immediate investigation" said
Judge John F. Phillips here yesterday,
when shown the Washington dispatch
in regard to John F. Murphy's resolu-
ton 81 do not intend to allow those
charges to hang fire indefin:te':7 if
can help it,
Although he declined to be inter
Viewed, Judge Phillips intimated that
he would Immediately telegraph
Speaker Cannon and request that a
congressional committee be appointed
to investigate thoroughly the matters
suggested by the resolution. Th2;
portion Of the resolution which
charges that he had been derelict in
attending to his official duties seemed
to disturb him most, as, he said, his
part in the disposition of the Mis-
sori rate case had ben largely per
functory.
Judge Phillips has been on the
bench for q years and he said he
courted the fullest investigation of his
judicial career. He intimated that the
primary motive behind the charge was
to force his resignation. In this con
nection he said:

should be taken to the field as soon

is, during winter, just as soon as there

meadow and put on thinIy as a ton
dressing. There is nothing equals a
good manure spreader for this work.
Any farm that produces 100 or more
loads of manure per year should not
be run without one
The manure is used also for top
dressing corn, just after the first cul
tivation. When scattered thinIy about
six cords per acre increases the yield
about % to 40 per cent. To let ma
nure lay in the barnyard, where the
stock may run over it and the winter
rains and SHOWS fall upon it to leach
the best part away, is very poor pol-
icy. But where manure accumulates
in the stalls or feeding shed until hare
spring there can be no objection.

The Stan dard Oil Com pany is pre-
pairing to begin work or the great
pire line for piping natural gas from
the gas fields of central West Virginia
to the eastern cities and it is said that
pipe will soon be delivered on the
ground. 1t looks as if this line will GER
tainly be built hut that does not guar
antee that Martinsburg, Winchester,
and other towns in this section will
get natural gas. True there these
towns have granted franchises to the
Interstate Natural Gas Company but
it seems that no one knows who the
Interstate Gas Company is. 1t has
generally been supposed that it was
the Standard Oil Company, but there
is no assurance that that is the case.
In fact ii is almost certain that Stand
ard iOil has no connection with the
Interstate Gas Company but on the
other hand it is thought that the Inter
state Gas Com pany is being promoted
by some gentlemen Of this section OF
the state but who are laying low and
have gotten these franchises with the
idea Of selling them to Standard Oil
when 1t has its pipe line completed TO
Baltimore. One thing is certain that
STANDARD OIL has done nothing to in =
dicate that it willfgive us gas and has
never been a party to any transaction
involving applications for franchises
from towns along lis proposed line.

taken them, one by one, to the closet
They were taken back to their mother

carried them gently to the house.
