Dairying Profitable.

A poor general farm by intelligent
management through dairying may be
made into a rich farm and be placed
on a high paying basis. 1t is the most
direct and the cheapest way Of feed
ing the soil and of making it grow more
fertile and productive each year. Rough
and concentrated feeds given to dairy
cows not only go for producing milk
and butter, but for rich fertilizers to
build up the soil with the proper hand
ling of the manure The man who
makes dairying one of the main branches
of his farming, and sticks to it for
number of years, may not get rich
quickly but is sure to get rich sooner Of
later

$12 to SIS, for every ton of seed cotton
which leaves his farm This is of i'm
portance to Florida farmers, since they
probably use more commercial ferti-
lizer per cultivated acre than do the
farmers of any other State. The evi-
dence is plain, and the reader may draw
his own conclusion as to which is the
most profitable system Of farming in
the long run-dairying which enriches
or the one crop system which exhausts
the soil.

The average wage is about $1.56 (6s.)

least 81 to the employer, who must
have a profit, and at least as much to
the nation, said Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts,
Phi D., in speech to the Twelfth In
ternational Congress on Alcoholism,
held in London. One-tenth of that for
800 days means SEQ per year for each
workman, and a total for all wage
earners of $115O,OOOOOO (929O,0OO,-

passed the period of millions in des-

have been filled with moisture before

by stirring the surface shallow, as

DRINK OUTLAY IS LESSENED
Bring in Less Revenue, but
More Sobriety.

George B. Wilson, secretary of the
United Kingdom alliance, states that
the drink bill of England for 1909
shows decrease over 1908 of S.
S97,997 1929, ,000). On spirits the
decrease was G4,80O,000 ($24,000 00O),
with a decrease in consumption of
7,022,77 gallons. On beer the de-
crease was G1,1S6O00 ($5,94OO0O),
with a decrease in consumption of
G45,39G barrels. On wine there was
an increase of $4,000 (S465, 000),
with an increase in consumption of
1874 gallons. Mr.. Wilson believes
that the increase in the price Of spir-
its and beer due to the budget was
largely responsible for the decreased
consumption. He declares that IL
there had been no increase in prices
the reduction of the total expenditure
for 1909 would have been ell, 147, 997
1855, 739, 5000.
Mr.. Wilson estimates that the
liquor drinking class is about So per
cent. of the total population. Accord
ing to these figures the per capita
expenditure is approximately S30.50
per year. Two-thirds of the total
drink bill, or nearly 100000
$4,000, 000) a week, is said to be
spent by the working classes. IF they
are above the poverty line" says Mr..
Wilson, this wasted expenditure
tends to bring them under it; If they
are under it, the waste aggravates
their difficulties. Drink-caused pow
erty is the worst kind of poverty, be-
cause it does not make the best Of
the available resources and is inva-
riably associated with moral and phys
ical degradation. The burden of the
drink evil falls heavily on the wom-
an; it brushes the child
Mr. Wilson believes In the efficacy
of repressive legislation to diminish
the drink evil. However, he admits
that the diminished consumption of
acoholic liquors is to some extent the
result of a continuous change in the
habits of the people-"a change" he
remarks, that seems likely to be
permanent"

BILL WAS ENACTED
AT TAFTS SUGGESTION
And Provides for Creation of a Court
to Which Railroads and Shippers
Alike May Appeal to Settle Their
Differences.
(By Associated P1.ess.)

New York, Oct. 2S.-It has been def
nitely decided that the railroads and
express companies throughout the
country will unite in an attack upon
the Mann -Elkins act passed by con-
gress last June, at the earnest solicita-
ton of President Taft The act pro-
vides for an interstate commerce
court to which railroads and shippers
alike may appeal.
The attack was decided upon by a
conference of railroad attorneys in
session here. The provisions of the
act which the railroads assert are un-
constitutional, are those granting the
commerce commission power to sus-
pend rates, the reserving to shippers
of the right to route freight, the long
and short haul clauses; the water
route provision and the provision i'm
posing upon the railroads the burden
of proof as to the reasonableness of
the increased rates.

IS STATE JUDGE
OF OWN LAWS?
Issue in Appeal of Memphis Drys to
Federal court-Decision viii Es-
tabish Precedent.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 2S.-The stat
us of the prohibition question in Ten
nessee, so far as the Jurisdiction of
the federal court for this district ex-
tends, will be finally defined within
the next several days. This was an
nounced late yesterday afternoon by
Judge John F. Mccall, in the United
States circuit court, after hearing a.
guments from early this morning as
to whether a temporary Injunction
pending against certain Memphis s1-
loon keepers should be made perpetu-
al or dissolved. In the meantime ia
downtown saloons are dark, in obe-
dience to a restraining order issued
several days ago.
In the suit at issue the question
hinges on the construction to be
placed on the fourteenth amendment
to the United States constitution. In
their petition seeking the perpetual
enjoinment of the saloons in question
fifteen representatives of the Law En-
forcement League charge that their
constitutional rights as citizens and
the protection assured them is being
abridged through the non-enforcement
of the state prohibition laws. and that
appeals for relief to the state and To-
cal officials have failed of results,
making imperative recourse to the
federal authorities.
Yesterdays argument presented by
counsel representing the liquor inter
ests and the Law Enforcement League
largely turned on the Jurisdiction of
the federal court.
Counsel for the defendants denied
Jurisdiction; declared that the four
teenth amendment was intended to
protect citizens against grievances in
fiicted by the act of the state or it's
constituted authorities, but et,aeainst
non-action; that the plaintiffs suing
for the abatement of a nuisance failed
to establish an individual injury sus-
tanned.
Several hundred saloons not includ-
ed in the bill of injunction, continue
in business.
In the absence of decisions of an
Identical nature the opinion of Judge
Mccall will establish a precedent for
other states, as well as in Tennessee,
and it is declared that further action
in an effort to compel the enforce
ment of prohibitory laws will depend
largely on his descision.

Want CORK LEGS
ON EASY TERMS

Washington, Oct. 28.-If American
manufacturers will give the unfortu-

ty to buy artificial legs by the foot,
or on the installment plan, there is a
great field in the Mexican republic
for the artificial limb industry. Con
sui William w. Canada, of Vera Cruz,
in a report says:
"The use of artificial limbs, at least
in this consular jurisdiction, has al
ways been restricted to the few for
tunate ones able to pay for the costly
substitute, for in nearly every in
stance it is the unskilled operative
who proves to be the victim; one
whose daily or weekly stipend is not
large enough to warrant the purchase.
"A we'll planned, energetic and per-
sistent campaign for the general in
PRODUCTION into this country of artifi-
cial limbs, and at figure or on terms
of payment within the reach of all,
ought to satisfactorily reward the eff
forts of the manufacturer.
