Popular Election of Senators.

Many times the House has passed a
resolution to submit to the people con-
stitutional amendWent providing for the
popular election of United States senators,
and as many times the Senate has killed
such resolution. The House has again
passed this resolution and Senator Bris-
tow has offered it in the Senate, with
almost definite assurance that it will be
favorably reported. 1t is strongly init
mated now that the resolution will be
talked to death, under the free and easy
rules of the Senate, and thus be prevented
from coming to a vote, for the reason
that if it should come to vote it would
pass.
Experience of the past are not depend
able gudances for the present handling
ofths measure. The people never before
were SO intensely Interested in the cleo
ton of senators. More than two-thirds
OF the legislatures are on record in favor
of the popular method of election. MANY
States have enacted primary laws provid,
ing for the popular nomination of sena-
torial candidates for the several parties.
TO flibuster against the measure now.
and especially to employ as speakers in
this talk to-the death certain members
who have been defeated even under the
old system and soon will be retired, would
be spectacle that few senators would
dare stamp with their pproval.-haAsaS

So Many Losers are Pikers.

1T is no wonder that people lose valu
ab'es and never get them back" said ar
obServant hotel clerk few days ago.
"l'he trouble is. when thing is found
without much effort on their part they
seldom give a reward that inspires any
body TO be honest
Our house detective found a purse
with valuable contents a few days ago
and made every effort to find the owner.
even advertising. This attracted the
attention of the woman who had dropped
her pocketbook near our front door, and
she hurried down here, proved her
property and got it. What do you think
that she gave the detective? A polite
note of thanks.
Then there was a woman who not
long ago, left two diamond rings on the
edge of the wash basin IN the avatory
and went out and forgot them. The
rings could not have cost less than 81. 500
for the two. The woman was very
grateu when she rushed back down
here and found that the maid had turned
the rings into the Office. AT the same
time all that she gave the maid was a

Fire Losses During 1910.

Statistics made public show that losses
by fire in the United States and Canada
in 1910 amounted to $23447o, $50, or over
$50, COO, 900 more than the losses in 1909.
December losses were exceptionally
heavy, aggregating S2I, 52S, 600
There were 60 fires during the year,
which caused a damage of $500, 900 or
more, and in 10 the loss exceeded 81, ooo,-
600 each. In only three preceding years
have the fire losses been heavier than in
1910, one being the year OF the Chicago
fire, the other of the San Francisco fire.
Federal and State officials agree that
the majority Of these losses are present
able, most of them being due to careless
ness Of one form or another and are
urging that reduction of this fire waste
be made a part of the campaign for con-
servation of natural resources. In spite
of the increasing losses it is said that the
average of fire insurance shows reduc-
ton in 1910.

A Single Tax City.

The attention of political economists is
Just now attracted to the marvellous little
city of Edmondston, Alberta, which after
a sufficiently long trial of the single tax
system, pronounces it SO good that it
would not return to the ancient plan.
In Edmondston the owner of unim-
proved land must pay just as large tax
as costly building. No more is premium
put on arrested development nor are
Spectators encouraged to hold on to
their unimproved land to make money
through the enterprise of owners around
them. They must sell or build, or else
find sher land value eaten up by taxation.
The thing is simple, and it appears to be
effective.
Edmonston certainly thrives under the
single tax and municipal ownership. In
eight years the city has advanced from
population of 2, 500 to $4,000, and when
the suburb of Strathcona is added the
population will be in the neighborhood of
so, 900. -BoSk0n Post

Market For Small Bonds.

This is the day of the small investor"
and as he is pretty numerous it appears
to be wise thing to do to put out COM
mercial paper in the sizes that he can
financially handle
Already some municipalities have
issued small bonds, and in most every
case, where they have been offered to
the public at large, they were snapped
up very quickly The odd lot of bond
buying has stimulated an agitation for
bonds of smaller denominations than
$1,000, which has been the unit for most
issues. The motto of taking care OF
the pennies" has been overlooked in
this regard, and as a consequence the
general investment market has lost pat
ronage, that would otherwise belong to
it, if small bonds were on the market,
and available at any time.
In the stock market the importance OF
the odd-lot buyer is realized. and many
stock exchanges now make it a point to
cater TO this class of customers The
question is then asked, why should not
bond houses do the same? From the
demand for small bonds abroad, it is
predicted that within the near future the
500 denomination will be freely used in
this country. 1t would at least tend to.

RatiOns For Pigs.

It is impossible for anyone to say what
is the best ration for growing pigs
The feeding capacity Of one differs from
another We have been feeding for
years, yet are all the time looking for
and anticipating some way to produce
better results. Sometimes we think that
we are feeding more grain than is nee
essary, and then again we think that we
are not feeding enough. AS a rule more
pigs are undered chan overfed, says the
Saline Herd. We find that a good
ration for developing Youngsters is five
pounds of o. P. oil meal 10 pounds OF
wheat bran OF middlings, IS pounds OF
cornmeal and one pound of salt well
mixed in barrel with milk and warm
water feeding all of it, they will eat
ii up clean both morning and night. If
you have apples. cabbage or roots feed
them at noon. After they have eaten
their evening slop, feed them one pound
of corn to each pound Of live weight oil
the pigs. Ground wheat barley or
oats, can be substituted for a portion
of the bran and middlings if desired.
For the brood sows we add one bushel
of cut alfalfa to this mixture in winter.
They eat it with a relish, but small pigs
do not like the alfalfa mixture as well as
the older ones. They leave a large
portion of the alfalfa in the trough un.
eaten, unless it has been soaked in boil
ing water several hours prior TO feeding

Keep Down the Weeds.

Weeds use up the moisture.
Weeds use up plant food.
Weeds crowd the plants.
Weeds shade the crops.
Weeds make it difficult for the plant to
grow.
Weeds make it hard to work the land
properly.
Weeds are at work all the time; as soon
as a crop is taken off the weeds go right
on pumping out moisture; SO that grain
field would pillow nicely at harvest will be
too dry to pillow well in month or two
and ali due 10 weeds. And the weeds
growing in the grain also rob the grain of
moisture and the result is that much less
grain. One way is to disc as soon rs the
crop is harvested. 1t is necessary to
have the land free from weeds and this
can be done if a crop of corn and a crop
of clover is grown every four or five
years. Manuring will also help in that it
will make the crops grow stronger and
so be more capable Of smothering weeds,
and it also holds moisture.

told who bribed them. The votes OF. the

and with their assistance extinguished
the flames. The fire was started
in box on the third floor, with circle
of kerosene around it, and after much
difficulty was eXinguished The room
was used as a storage room by the firm
On Investigation it was noticed that the
coal oil had been freely sprinkled on
some OF the goods, and can containing
the oil was found empty The building
adlolns on the east the carpet and furni-

door leading to the second and third
floors which are occupied as sleeping
