SEASONS TO END EARLY.
Worlds Series Likely to Begin Not
Later Than Oct. 7.

Chicago. Nov. 14.-Definite action al
ready has been taken looking forward
to an early start and early closing of
the worlds series battles next fall.
President Johnson of the American
League brought back this information
upon his return from the National
Commission meeting.
One thing the commission settled
was the date for the opening battle of
the big titular games next season. Oc-
tober will be inaugural day wherever
the championship battles are waged.
In naming of this date the league heads
agreed to frame the 1912 schedules ac-
'cordingly

CEMENT RECORDS BROKEN.
Statement Of 1910 Production Shows
Phenomenal Growth.


Phenomenal Growth.
Ten years ago the production OF
Portland cement for the first time
passed the 10000, 900 barrel mark
showing an increase OF 1900 per
cent over the production Of 10 years
previous, and the giant strides that
had been made I'm the industry were
widely remarked. Even this produc-
ton was small compared with that
of the present day. In 1910, according
TO the report on cement by Ernest f.
Burchard. OF the United States Geo
logical Survey. the production Of Port
land cement reached the enormous to-
tai Of 76,549,951 barrels, with a value
Of SOS, POS, 500. This is equivalent t.
12,9SG,152 long tons, valued at 1925 q
ton. II is an increase over the output
for 1909 of 11,55S,520 barrels or nearly
rs per cent, an increase in value Of
S15,347,446, or more than 20 per cent
This increase alone Is greater than tho
total output OF Portland cement in
1909. In addition TO Portland cement
there was also produced last year
1,139,2S9 barrels of natural cement
and 95,951 barrels of puzzolan cement
a total of 77,7S5,141 barrels.
Steady Decrease in Price.
The price of Portland cement in 1916
was as low as 70 cents per barrel in
some places, the average for the
United States being S9.1 cents bar
rel In 1890 the average price was
over 81 a barrel and as late as 1903 Il
was 1924 a barrel.
Mr.. Burchard remarks that meas
ured by the capital invested the cement
industry is one OF the worlds three
great extractive Industries. In capita
employed it apparently far outrank'
the gold mining industry of the United
States including Alaska, as well al
the copper industry Only coal anC
iron stand ahead of it.
The principal constituent of Port
land cement is limestone, and Mr.
Burchard's report summarizes tn
most important limestone formation
I'm all the states. The greatest o
these are found in the eastern half o
the United states, where there ar
enormous limestone deposits. The re
port is accompanied by map showing
the distribution of these limestones
The areas they cover comprise man!
thousand square miles. The ma
also shows the location of the oper
ating cement plants in the United
States.
Exports Small; Imports Negligible.
That the manufacture of cement il
an American industry is shown by tn
fact that while our production las
year was over 100000 barrels on
imports were only 3O6,S63 barrels. Gu
exports were 2,475,957 barrels.
The following table shows tn
healthy growth of the American Port
land cement industry and also the de
crease in prices:

THE POLITICAL JUDGE

The recall is aimed chiefly at the
political judge. The history of the iu-
dietary will show that a Judge is less
likely to be disturbed in his position
than any other public officer. If there
is agitation for recall of judges, the
judges are to blame. A fair and non
political judge is the best asset a COM
munity can have. when he is fair, ali
is fair; when he goes into politics he
soon ceases to be fair and loses in a
great measure his sense of Justice.
When people are satisfied with their
courts, the judges are safe in their DO
sitions, and when people demand re-
call, there is something wrong not with
the people but with the judge. When a
judge goes into politics and violates
the law in using his office as politi.
cal stepping stone, and takes a hand
in the general stating for office, he nat
urally does as other politicians do, he
promises favors, but he has as Judge
no favors to give but judicial favors
and when the market is open for those
justice is for sale.

With all due respect for President
Taft, his stand taken on the question
of Judicial recall would be more con-
sfstent if he should at the same time
advocate an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States, for in
stance, Section l Of Article 8 which
provides that the judges of the SUI
preme and inferior courts shall hold
their offices during good behavior. The
president has the power of judicial re-
call but declines to intrust the peo-
pie with the same power. The people
demand nothing more than the power
that is implied in the constitution OF
the United States to remove a Judge
when his behavior is not what is
called good. There is another point
that attention is called to, viz: the
10th amendment to the constitution of
the United State, which reads as fol-
lows: sThe powers not delegated to
the United States BY the constitution,
nor prohibited to it by the states, are
reserved to the states respectively, or
to the people" The president there

admission Of Arizona and New Mexi-

AN ELECTRIC PLANT FOR isoLAT.
ED HOMES.

VI course, 1t is always cheaper to
buy electricity as you do butter, milk,
eggs, vegetables and coal, in just such
quantities as you can use without
waste. But it is only possible to do
this when you happen to live reason
ably near the distributing lines of some
electric light company which has cleo
tricity for sale at reasonable rate
There are thousands of country homes
which can we'll afford electricity for
lighting, cooking and to do the heavy
work about the premises, but are, IN
fortunately, located miles and miles
away from the nearest electric supply
lines. =
Not until very recently was it posi-
BILE for such places, to secure a tiny in
dividual electric plant which would
provide a constant source of electri-
city for small cost and little atteu-
ton. Now it is quite possible for any
one to purchase for a few hundred
dollars an entire private electrical
plant which will supply all the cur
rent one could possibly use On a coun-
| try place or large farm This plant
! consists of compact gasoline engine
direct connected on the same shaft
with a powerful electric generator.
ALI that is necessary is to start up the
! Il -
attention, without noise, constantly
supplying an abundance of current
In the beginning these generating
sets were all of large size, but the de
mand for small plants has resulted in
a machine of one kilowatt capacity
which freely translated, means that Ii
will give one and one-third horse pow
er of electrical energy.
This little machine is one of the
r most complete and most powerful Lit
tie generating plants ever construct
; ed. 1t is so small that it is hardly no
, ticeable and can be easily located II
the basement or in any out of the wa,
: corner. 1t generates enough curren
to supply fifty ordinary metal filamen

use of numerous small motors such d!
