raE MOUNT VERNON AVENUE

Senator Thornton, of Fairfax, In The
State Senate on Saturday requested that
the bill reinyesting In the state the
claim OF the Mount Vernon Avenue
Association fg,inst the federal govern
mant be recommitted, though 1t was up
for It's third reading. He explained
Inst many years sgo the state had trans
ferred 10 this association claim against
ihs government for money losned
to II in 1889. The association pro-
posed to consraci with the money, when
received, a magnificent boulevard from
he capital to Mount Vernon. 1t had
spent money, as an association, and is
members bad done 30 as Individuals
Nov the state wishes to take bsck lite
elf, and he thought the association
ought to have 6 hearing before the
ipaucs committee before Anal action
should be tSkun. The government has
denied the debt, aud 1t remains for the
association to sppssl to congress on
sentimental grounds. They hsd never
abandoned the pr jsct, and they feel
that they still have q chance to com.
pleto their plan.
Senator Folkes, OF Richmond, patron
OF the bill, wanted to b assured that IL
a hearing we're granted, somebody would
b. present. he explained the states
side Of the matter. He told Of the loCg
add unsuccessful fight made 10 Congress
to secure pal msnt OF this calm. Senator
Daniel, be said, pu. up splendid fight
TO get it, Iu; failed. Reading from the
report Of the last congressional commit
tee which bad considered 1t, be said that
tbs last bearing tsi been the beat
chance OF ell to secure payment, add
that 1t then wac 6 signal failure, The
federal government seems to be trying 10
appropriate Alexandra now, and be
thf u tht that the possession OF the claim
weu'd help Virginia materially in any
contention With the government.
Senator Thornton replied that be
thought hearing might be secured. he
wss OF the opinion tbs! the association
should be uumolssted 10 its Efforts and
sht u d not be forced 10 soy way. GUS.
lions OF Law might be involved, and the
MISTER ought to be more folly considered.
! Ssuator Garter, of Rapp,haunoek, be.
lieyed that the association bad vested
rights to which tu Iht to be Investigated

HAS LONESOME JOB

his sheep, the army sentry his ire quent reliefs and the track walker hears eompanionable sounds and gets many glimpses of life. Sometimes he has wreck to prevent or to help to scrape up, but the pipe patrolmen have little to break the monotony.
 When man first tackles the job he is enchanted. Just to take brisk tramp across the country in the fresh air, smelling of the good, green earth and to be paid two or three dollars a day for 1t seems too good to be true After a few weeks 1t begins to pail. One gets to dreaming about it, gets to see, waking and sleeping, only that same blur of trees and land, land and trees, and then more land and trees until he begins to forget the rest of the world and the people and the things he has known. Some of the pa- trolmen almost reach the point of for getting their own names, but usually they quit before they get to that point. Several former regulars in the United States army, men familiar with the dreary routine of western frontier posts, have tried it and thrown up the Job after few weeks. One of them said: When l go playhouse I am go- ing by the regular route"
 The fact that the ear Is kept con- stantly strained for leaks that betray their presence through a hissing sound is another feature of the work that adds to the uncanniness of it. The men are employed for just one pur- pose, to look for breaks in the pipe line, and when one has but one thing to do and the accident he is always ex- pecting seldom happens, it gets on the nerves. The nervous anticipation is what breaks them down
 Every time a grasshopper in the fields or cricket in the creek bot toms or a locust in the trees starts his machinery at full speed the fear that the line has gone to smash seizes one.
 Every time the trees rustle," said a patrolman, you think there Is leak ahead Every heavy drone of the insects startles with its suddenness. You start out in the morning with the fear of disaster and if twig cracks under your feet you get the jumps. If break would come along once in awhile it would not be so bad
 Often the loneliness that gets into your bones inspires one almost to the point of stealthy going out with an ax and smashing section of pipe so as

FOX OUTRUN BY A SPRINTER
Finds Six Cubs in Burrow and Then Chases and Captures Mother
 in Half-MiIe Dash.

Amityville, N. Y.-Norman D. Half, whose fame as an amateur runner has spread far beyond the confines of this, his native town and county, broke all previous records day or so ago, when he ran down and captured a fox after first finding six of her cubs in burrow on farm north of the viii lage.
 MT. Half, who is a son of Street Commissioner Tom O. Half, discov- cred the burrow and dug out the litter of cubs. After sending the young foxes to his home, he hid behind bush to await the mother fox's return. She came in due time, when MT. Half jumped for her. The old fox started on a run toward the west, evidently hoping to lose her pursuer, but young Half kept right on and after a half mile sprint captured her. He brought her home in triumph, and now has the mother and her six little ones on exhi- bition.

Farmers Organization.

Organization among farmers means better farming, for many heads are better than one. It means better busi- ness, for if anything is clear in mod ern business life it is that the man who stands alone is at disadvantage. writes Clifford Pinchot in Texas and Pacific Quarterly. And, most of all, 1t means better living on the farm, better social and educational ad- vantages for the farmer, his wife and their children, more comfort, greater satisfaction and less desire to leave the farm. When the things that make life worth living are found in greater abundance in the country than in the towns, as some day we shall all see that they are or should be found, then country life will take it's rightful place. And the way to reach it is along the road of cooperation.

Soy Bean Vs. CoWpea.

The Tennessee experiment station reports that the cowpea is preferable for planting either with corn or sor- ghum and generally for seeding broad cast, while the soy bean appears the more valuable of the two crops when grown as grain producer, as an in tensive farm crop. The best varieties of soy beans are more certain to pro- duce high yields of seed than any of the cowpeas. Soy beans at the sta tion have proved more resistant to light frosts than the cowpea and also less sensitive to cool weather in the spring. Other points of comparison favorable to the soy bean are a higher protein and fat content, freedom from weevil attacks in the seed, the ripen- ing of the seed at one time, and ease of harvesting and threshing the crop

Men Who Watch Tubes Convey
 ing Natural Gas 0iSgusted.
Task at First Appears Pleasing, But Soon Becomes Monotonous in Ex- treme and Loneliness Often
 Leads to Insanity.

Lincoln, Neb.-The most monot- Dnous existence in the world is that ed by the pipe line walkers of Kan sas, Oklahoma and Missouri. For great many years the army picket, the sheep herder and the railroad track inspector have debated the question of which led the Ioneliest existence, but their life is gay compared with that of he pipe line walker.
 The pipe lines carry natural gas to he cities, where it is utilized in lighting homes, heating them and SUD- plying industries with cheap fuel. The pipe lines radiate in all directions rom the gas centers. It is absolute y necessary that the pressure be maintained. The greatest menace of the maintenance of proper pressure is the possibility of leaks in the pipes and to see that there are no breaks several hundred men are employed Their business is to get up at day light and walk till darkness comes, hunting trouble
 The lines are divided up into sec lions of 12 and 15 miles, and man is detailed to watch each one. He must walk from one end of his section to the other and then back again during the day. The jobs pay from S6O to Sl0O month, and there Is nothing to do but walk and listen.
 Most of the patrolmen are young fel- lows, who think they have fallen into a snap. A good many Of them are college boys, who come west to the prairies for recreation or to regain their health. They get both. but after few months of 1t the loneliness and the nature of the work gets them and they depart.
 There is nothing to do but walk, walk, walk. except when a break is found. Then it is hike to the near est telephone and hurry up call for the repair gang. If nothing happens then all the pipe line walker need to do is to fill out a blank report with nothing doing" on it and mail it.
