WILDER at Kobe, Japan. Mr.. WILDER
states that there is a nitrate fertilizer
company in Japan which has two

company will soon double its capital
and start another factory in north

From coal and carbon locke,

lime nitrate fertilizer is produced by

United States and Japan. There is

James J. Hill on Corporations.

James j. Hill, the Great Northern
Pacific railroad magnate, sees in
publicity of corporation matters and
intelligent public control of the
corporations themselves, long step
towards the solution of the present
era of business stagnation.
"And the United States need a
saviour, says Mr.. Hill. "The people
have demanded not only the best but
an improvement on the best, and they
will have to pay accordingly. If
they don't pay in money, they must
pay in prosperity. The business of
the country increases Is per cent
every year; the facilities for handling
this new business increase only 1-6 of
that. The difference in the ratio is
too great and balance must be
struck sometime, else there will be a
complete breakdown of service or
prosperity.
"Why don't the facilities for ham
ding business increase more rapidly?
Because the men behind these facili-
ties are afraid to spend their money
for extensions and improvements.
Mr.. Hill has long been an exponent
of publicity of corporations affairs
and looks upon that as one of the
means of bringing corporations and
public together.
"The people are entitled to know

now. The effort will save you more
work, trouble and annoyance than
you can realize. Keep the last issue
of The Ranch open at the home de-
partment as reminder Of the neces-
sity for action. Acquire the habit OF
constant vigilance. Say to yourself
when you kill big, blue one, this is
the funeral of one hundred and twenty
more and the stopping of ten genera
tions. Ii you are not as careful as
you should be, and need drastic
measures to arouse you, here is
thought that may be the means OF so
doing. When you carelessly "shoo"
the flies from the cake or the sugar
bowl and then proceed to take the
food into your system, it may not
prove so agreeable when you remem-
Der that the hairy legs Of those same
flies had just been dragging around
the sore eyes of dog or the filth in
a small pig sty.
Get these formulas filled and use
constantly:
1. Heat shovel very hot and drop
upon it about twenty drops of carbolic
acid. The vapor kills the flies. Don't
get any on your hands; it makes
terrible burns on flesh.
2. Dissolve one drachm of bicro-
mate of potash in four tablespoons
of water; add a little sugar. Put
into shallow dishes about the house.
This is not dangerous to human life.
3. The latest, cheapest and best
of all is a solution of formalin or
formaldehyde. Put one teaspoonful
into half cup of water and ex-
pose in room. This will kill all
flies. The odor is not very agreeable,
but after it has done it's work the
doors can be opened.
4. Oil of lavender sprinkled about
is said to drive the flies from the
room. This would be nice to use
when you expect company.

what the public service corporations
are doing and the conditions under
which they transact business, he
says. 81 have believed in, and have
advocated publicity of corporation
reports for many years. When the
public becomes conversant in corpora
ton affairs and is convinced that it
is seeing from the inside, much OF
the feeling against the great business
concerns will pass away. That will
be one of the effects of publicity. -
In the matter Of public control of
quasi public concerns, Mr.. Hill is a
firm advocate, but he wants that con-
troll to be intelligent; he wants only
trained men in the places of control.
ga corporation is piece of paper
bearing the stamp and seal OF the
state" he says. ''lts life is created
by the people and naturally the people
should have some word in making the
rules under which it transacts bust
ness. That proposition is one l have
preached for years and now [ am glad
to see it making Roadway among COM
mon carrier corporations. Last week
President Nudge, of Rock Island rail
road, declared for public control of
railroads: George M. Reynolds,
president Continental and CONNER
cial National bank of Chicago did the
same thing the week before: T. N.
Vail, president American Telephone
and Telegraph recently made an Off
cial report to his board of directors
il which he took firm stand for both
publicity and public control.
"But that control must be intelli-
gently administered. Public control
simply because it is control by the
public, is not all. 1t must be intelli-
gent, as l have always commended.
Intelligent people will ask and expect
nothing more. Vail, Reynolds and
the others are right is advocated pub
Lefty and public control. Both are
things which eventually will go far
towards making a good feeling be-
tween the corporations and the people,
and will assist in settling much of the
antagonism which now seems to pre-
