here is one question we should like to see
answered Why do through trains carry
two, three or four long, heavy. and almost
always nearly empty parlor coaches, while
people who actually ride have to sit three
in seat, or stand in the aisles, or, women
included, herd in the filthy smoker, where
oftentmes they are subjected to annoyance
and insult? There may be some good
sufficient reason, but we can't see it. The

train running express each way would

Forty acres have been set to fruit
trees. and nine acres have been laid
with underground pipes of cne-incA
galvanized iron. There Is a mole In
the pipe under eachs tree, for they. are
laid directly und the rows. The wa

main feeder and allowed to flow until
the ground is wet at the surface. The
three years in which this system has
