Words Of Praise for the Tranic Reg
ulatOrs of an Alabama Town.
The policeman who stands tn the
middle of the crossing is a life saver
in every sense Of the word, the Birm-
ingham (Ala.) Age Herald remarks.
He saves life and limb every day
almost every hour. He never gets ex-
cited. He is cool headed and has !
comprehensive vision.
An average of 10000 people afoot
pass the crossing in every direction
every hour for seventeen hours during
the day and early part OF the night.
This makes total of 1000 pedes-
TRANS in the total seventeen hours.
Eighty-nine cars pass every hour, max
ing a total of 1893 cars for the same
seventeen hours. An average of 500
vehicles, including drays, carriages.
automobiles and other moving instru-
ments of danger, not including motor
cycles and bicycles, pass every. hour,
making total of $4,000 for the
seventeen hours.
Amidst this mighty tide of moving
humanity and grinding wheels is one
man stands as arbiter between life
and death. To large degree the life
of every man, woman and child, either
afoot or in some public or private CON
veyance, is in the hands Of this one
man.
He lends his courage to the timid
and fearful, his eyes to the blind, and
his strength to the weak and hating.
He stands like giant amid tum-
bling mass of pigmies, complete mas
ter of the situation. With one hand
he gives back sweet life to timid old
woman who has secrificed it In mo-
ment of confusion. He hands 1t back
with smile and forgets it while he
turns to the rescue of thoughtless
child who does not even stop to thank
the big officer for his priceless serv-
ice. The child does. not know The
man of the world, busy with problems
of might, does not realize that he has
been pushed across the grave by the
quick hand of the policeman.
A thousand dangers-eve death
accompany every man who attempts
this crossing at almost every hour ct
the day, and that the accidents num-
Der less than one week is almost en-
tirely due to the presence fthe big.
cool-headed policeman, the life saver,
who stands in the middle Of the cross.

stration farms in Central Kansas, has
just returned from an inspection trip of
these farms and reports that one 20.
acre field at Kharkof wheat ON the
Barton county demonstration farm
threshed 900 bushels, or 40 bushels to
the acre. The average yield in the
neighborhood was Is bushels to the
acre. The ground had been handled
last summer according to the methods
recommended by Mr.. Wheeler and
while credit is naturally taken for the
work done according to Professor Ten
Eyck's idea of farming, credit is also
due to Mr.. Tabler, the unusually eff
cient superintendent of the Barton
county farm Mr.. L. A. Fatz, in charge
of the milling department at X. s. A.

Topeka.-Mrs. Julia B. Perry, SUI
perintendent of the Girls Industrial
School at Beloit, declares that KaI-
sas is in advance of every other state,
in that she has divorced her state
charitable institutions from politics.
The nine state charitable institutions
are under civil service rules and the
merit system is followed entirely. 1--WE
in Kansas" said Mrs. Perry, "do not
have to rely on other states that have
adopted the merit system to know
whether or not it has proven a sue
cess; for there is no one thing that
Kansas people should feel more proud
Of than of divorcing her slate charit-
able institutions from politics and
placing them under civil service rule.
Where the merit system has been
rightly applied to state institutions
and rigidly carried out, growth and
prosperity have been the result"
