WANT TWO THINGS
More Free Time for Unloading and
Prompt Equipment Release.
BUREAU FORMULATEs DEMANDS
Greater Delay by Carriers Than Ship
pers wherever Investigated, De-
cIares e. J.. McVann in Lett
ter to Commissioners,

Small shippers want an additional
t~wenty-four hours free time for unload
ing and the prompt release Of equipment
by the railroad companies. These two de-
mands are embodied in q letter sent out
by z. ]. McVann as ana OF the traffic
bureau Of the Commercial club, and ad-
dressed specifically to Franklin X. Lane
of the Interstate commission.
The letter dwells on these two points
saying;
The first Of these points is that II spe-
cial consideration Is given to the big In
dustries in the way OF additional free time
for stalking, switching, analysis, bracing
and blocking, the handling of cargo lots at
enc time, etc, 1t will result in serious In
Justice to the vast army of smaller ship
pers and receivers II the latter are held 10
a basis of forty-eight hours free time. The
plan OF allowing an additional twenty-four
hours free time for the unloading or all
cars above $1,000 pound capacity, would 20

the very large number OF small receivers
OF coal, lumber ETC., who have not the
very frequently find themselves absolutely
unable 10 obtain the necessary labor.
The second point IL that for years every
thing that could possibly be done has been
done to obtain the prompt release Of equip
ment by shippers. They have been penal
ized and mulcted in damages by, way of
have been drawn tighter and tighter each
succeeding year, We do not deny the Jus
tics OF the general proposition that the
prompt release of equipment subserves the
greatest good OF the greatest number, but
we DO hold that a vigorous effort should
be made to work . reform in the very great
evil OF the detention OF both cars and con-
tents at will by the carriers, without any
penalty whatsoever.
Delay ny Roads Greater.
1t is this neglect Of duty on the part OF
the carriers that piles up the dead hours
Of the average car, and wherever the mat
ter has been Investigated It has been found
that the average detention of the car by
the carrier on the road and at terminals,
over and above a reasonable time for the
service involved has been far greater than
the average detention by shippers or re-
ceiYers.
1t is this latter condition whic has
given rise 10 the demand for reciprocal
demurrage, and that demand will continue
and grow in force II, as a result OF It's
deliberations. your honorable body shall
formulate a code of rules that WIN have
the effect OF drawing the lines tighter foI

the carriers TO have all the latitude they
desire TO take In detention OF both carr

YOUR OWN PEACH ORCHARD.
A Possibility Nearly Everywhere II
Soil Needs Of Trees Are
Studied.

There are scores of communities in
which half of the residents grow their
own peaches and the other half buy
or lament the fact that they can't
grow peaches.
Peaches are in a way f1tful, yet the
chances are that many of those who
bewail their location might have as
many as their neighbors by exercising
little care.
The majority of the little orchards
are natural fruit Whether it pays to
depend upon this with budded trees
now so cheap is question worth con-
sidering; but it certainly pays much
better than to do without fruit
1t was once thought that only sandy
soil would grow peaches. They have
succeeded nicely on stiff clay if well
enriched and cultivated. A sandy or
clayey loan is preferable, and must
not be too highly fertilized, as the
peach is naturally quick-growing
tree.
A hillside, naturally well drained,
is a favored location for peach trees.
The frost does not strike them so
readily as on lower ground. But be-
ware of too sunny exposures, or else
the first warm days will coax out the
buds, to be blasted by frost.
AS peach trees develop and mature
rapidly, they are CORRESPONDENCE
short lived, and the owner of good
orchard to-day must plant new trees
for few years hence. 1t is a con-
slant succession of growth and decay.
No more satisfactory field can be
chosen for investigation a la Burbank,
and it is along a line which is sure to
prove profitable, though no world-re-
nowned variety may be evolved.
If peach growing is an experiment,
it is perhaps wise to restrict it mainly
to seedlings. Should it prove sue
cess in your orchard. you will want to
add some nursery stock, which Is,
save in some stray instances, of bet
ter quality.

1t is easy to put the pits of some
choice fruit into bag and let them

suitable place, a Seeding bearing fruit

Seedlings differ from the parent, but

GETTING Even with Madam.

A strikingly handsome young lady
beautifully begowned, created some
what of a sensation by her beauty
and the perfection of her present
ment on arrival at select society re-
ception.
Apparently oblivious of being the
admired of all, even the envious OF
her sex, the belle of the evening, on
taking her place next to a "grande
dame" of more advanced years and
less favored personal charm, after a
formal greeting, remarked, with good
natured and easy cordially:
"How well you are looking this eve
ming, madam!"
It was well-meant and common civ
fifty from a young woman to an older
one, who, seemingly, was unable to
accept it as such, and put up her
lorgnette, sweeping the speaker from
ton to toe. What she saw was
enough to discomfort a younger and
prettier woman than herself, but even
that could in no way justify the re-
joinder madam" made.

YOU" she replied, closing her lorg
nette with snap.
The little passage OF words was
overheard by several particular
friends of the pretty woman, who held
their breath almost, in order not to
miss what they felt sure would come
and it came The young beauty
raised her eyebrows slightly, then
said. with an air of gentle reproach:
"Why can't you lie like lady, az

darkened Don's face He knew the
worst. He was to be sent away to
college when he grew big. Keith said
so. To go to college meant to leave
his baby sister, to depart from whom
presaged woe unspeakable. He had
overheard his doom. Well, he would
do his best not to grow No more
crusts would he eat, lest he flourish
physically.
Eat your crusts,' the thrifty Ellen
had ever admonished, "and you will
grow big"
Daily he stood under the lead-pencil
mark that Keith had once made upon
the wall to mark his inches A-tremble
always lest he find his head overtop-
ping the line. To be big! how eagerly
he had looked forward to reaching
even Kaith's shoulder. Now-if he
could have stunted his growth, for
love of his baby sitser, he would have
done so, even at the cost of suffering.
The day upon which Don was six,
he arose early Down to the garage

mind, had noticed that most big peo-
pie" like Keith were married. Since
he must grow big, he had determined
like the Fairy Prince to marry and be
happy ever afterward-in fact, his
bride had long since been decided
upon. He would go to college, since
Keith wished it, but the very day he
came home he would marry. This he
had risen early especially to confide
to his old ally John.
"And who, Mr.. Don, would We be
marryin'?" asked the old fellow, with
fitting solemnity.

loftily. (How stupid of John not to
knowD
Whereupon, long and loudly laughed
the chauffeur, to Don's infinite annoy
ance.
Don't We know, Mr.. Don, that 9
young gentleman can't be after mar
rying his own sister, asked he.
With the immense courage of loving
conviction, Don fought long and vail
antly against such an absurd preju
dice, but finally beaten at every point
by his argumentative opponent, dis
gruntled and crestfallen he entered
the breakfast-room.

DON'TS FOR SWEET PEA GROW
Frs.

Don't have the soil too rich in nitro
gen. Your plants will run to vines
rather than to flowers.
Don't use too fresh manure The
finer and more broken the better.
Spade it in well.
Don't forget to mulch the rows in
hot dry weather. This will greatly
prolong bloom.
Don't sow sweet peas two seasons
in succession in the same place. Re
suits will never be SO good. Sow some
of the Giant Towering type.
Don't let the plants run to seed. 1t
will soon exhaust your flowers.
Don't be afraid of picking. Daily
attention in this respect is necessary
to big blossoms and plenty Of them.
Don't plant in the shade. If possible
the rows should run north ard south
to get both morning and afternoon
sun.
Don't forget to mix plenty of fine
manure with soil that is clayey to
prevent baking.
Don't water in dribbles. Use enough
to soak the soil, then stop watering
until the earth begins to look dry.

No other medicine for woman's ills

of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, libroid tulnors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

FORM OF AMENDMENT. OPPOSED
TO PRINCIPLE OF LOCAL SELF
GOVERNMENT, HAD SOME
WHAT TO DO WITH DECISION
TO OPPOSE 1T.

The following statement was
made after the vote had been taken
on the prohibition amendment:
The Democratic members of the
senate, with the exception OF Se1a-
tors Fisher and Smith, voted agaJ INST
submitting the prohibition amend
meat. The special form OF the
amendment had somewhat to do
with this action. The Democratic
minority in caucus approved of SEN
ator Silver's position one year ago
and to support the time honorei
principles OF the party, to-wit: the
principle of local self government,
and, therefore, decided TO vote
against the submisdo on OF the
amendment in the language pro-
posed.
Senators Fisher and Smith did
not dissent from the position taken
by the other members OF the eau
Gus on the broad principle of local
SER government. but fe't themselves
hEder peculiar obligations in this
instance, having received certain
support which incurred consequent
obligations, which compelled them
20 act as they did, and while so act
ing, declared themselves IN favo-
as before said of the cIinclp'es en-
bodied in the proposition to let each
community govern Itself in relation
to this question. as Vt may deem
best.

OF the minority In refusing to vote
on the FIRST three roll calls on this
question compelled tho Republicans
to show their position also.
There are 23 Republicans in the

number at no time could be mar
shalled on that side o the PROPOSE
ton. This action expoSes fully the
insincerity OF the Republicans In
Their platform declarations of last
year. and also of the numerous dec
laratsons of their candidates and
public speakers. Every Que remem-
bers how vociferously they were In
favor OF submitting the question of
prohibition to the people, and now
every one Is made fully aware Of
their duplicty and snsincerity on
that matter. The action or the
Democratic members Of the senate
