SPEEDING DOWN THE BURROWS

II life on the farm is not made in ;
creasingly attractive--it will not be
because the inventors have not done
their best to discover short cuts in
farm work.
The double shovel pillow was a
wonder in its day. But how many
revolution In methods has been inaug-
urated since the arst simple pillow was
improved upon. The farm boy may
have atrophied legs In years to come
because nearly every implement on
the farm has been equipped with a
seat. Whether II be sowing or reap
ing tirne--the old pastoral picture of
the farmer Flooding along the furrow
or the row has given place to a scene
wherein some sort OF complicated
meehanism--supplied with a comfort-
able seat, IL seen.
Now. however. comes something
new. even in the field of mechanical
development on the. farm.
An automobile pillow has been per-
fected-a machine in which man sits
on cushion with steering gear in
his hand, just as IL he were setting out
In roadster or runabout--exeept
that somewhere near the earth the
blades OF plow are fixed.
BY the use Of this. machine Il Is said
that twelve acres can be pIowed IN a
day. All the time the plowman is
not required to hitch his implement
around 1T the end OF every row--or
Bring his horses about into position
Tor the long Journey back
This would seem to be the last word
In the long lesson on making life cas-
Ter for the farmer.
II II should prove merely to enlarge
the possibilities Of the middleman-if
IT should serve merely to enlarge the
farmers ability to enrich the vultures
ne usually serves--that is not the fault
or the auto-plow, The fact seems to
be that when the lawmakers have de-
vfsed some reasonable method of pro-
tecting the farmer--or have removed
some Of those statutes which give the
special interests the HONS share OF the
profits of mems labor-there will be
less need Of urgent arguments in or
der to get people back to the farm.

This is TO be done Now the common
council of Gary proposes to create a
city sealer and legislation to this ef-
feet will be secured within the next
few weeks. This is a good move as
past history has shown that there is a
great variation in the weights and
measures used now days. Many times
the fault is not due TO the local mer-
chant as berries, for instance, often
come in boxes that have high bot
tom. There are other little tricks
practised by the INSCRIPTIONS in con-
nection with weights and measures
and the money spent providing for the
protection of the public in this regard
must be considered as a good invest
ment.

the executive Offices of the New York
Central at different periods, the audi
tors department was able to report a

according to report just issued A
gain of $2,500,000 in the operating rev.

ARE WAKING UP.

Some day the American people are
going TO wake up to the fact that their
municipal governments are the most
mismanaged of their political institu-
tions. There will be a realization that
local government to be success must
be conducted on the same general
lines as business.
In most cities and towns custom has
made it the current idea that the af-
fairs of the city should be conducted
for the benefit of the party in power.
And elsewhere. and in fact not far
from home, we have the spectacle of
padded payrolls for the political ag-
grandizement of the officer in the ex-
ecutiye chair.
No large corporation would toler-
ate for one minute officers who do not
produce results. Some how or other,
neither the people nor the office-hold-
ers of this day seem to realize that
the mayor and council play the same
role in reference to local government
as do the president and directorate to
commercial concern However
there are evidences of hope Our post
Office head, Mr.. Hitchcock, has turned
a deficit of $1,000 900 annually into
an even balance When Mr.. Hitch
cock retires from the postmaster-gen-
eralship he may be sure of high post
in business world. What has been ac-
complished in the postoffice depart
ment can be done elsewhere
Probably the Germans have the best
scheme of local government. Their
city executives are fixed officials unless
promoted or removed for cause. When
German burgomaster makes a sue
cess in a small city he is given a more
important charge An honest, efficient
and economical mayor finds his serv-
ices much in demand.
Perhaps We can never adjust our
selves to this system, but in time a So
luton will be worked out. Probably
the future will see colleges giving
courses in government to be supple
mented by practical training.
What an opportunity there would
have been for trained official had
he the chance like the golden one Gary
offered and what great benefits would
its taxpayers have received The day
is not yet too late.

LOCALIZED LYING.

Perhaps il Ananias and Sapphire
were alive today they could move in
pretty good society without any fear
of getting into the trouble which they
met with. The times certainly have
changed since that couples day.
That judge was up-to-date who held
that it was not immoral to lie He
realized that courts must conform TO
public opinion. His ear had been
catching the ground swell and had
heard the popular tide with its roar
against those judges who stick too
closely to the law says the Duluth
There can be little doubt of the
growing popularity of lying. Exact
truth as a science is a good deal of a
back number. No woman is offended
as she plods through her calling list to
be told that her friend whom she has
seen at the window is mot at home
she is only thankful for time saved
Men have ceased to believe the
spoken word unless backed by a seri-
Gus voucher of good faith 1t is a
good deal of a virtue to lie to shield a
friend, and the lie is much, of course,
to shield oneself To be caught in a
lie is more frequently a matter of joke
than disgrace.
Courts must be amenable to public
opinion. But in diplomatic language,
we are told that the judiciary must
be brought within the control and
answerable to the we'll thoughtout
judgment of the people,

COUNTING MONEY.

II becomes the duty of newspaper
to warn its readers of the evils and
perils that beset them and of which
they may not be cognizant: so when
YOU have a big pile of paper money
TO count, don't count it Listen,
An eastern banker scratched his ear
while counting a pile of paper money
and died of blood poisoning. The mon
ey was tainted: 1t had evil germs, and
they got busy on the scratch. The
moral is plain. so plain that the peo-
pie, or at least ninety mine per cent
of them, will refrain from counting
piles of money.
Don't forget when you start on the
next stack. Let some one else count
it,
