The game of dominoes was the in

beginning they found amusement by
playing at primitive form of it with
small fiat stones they had marked

a game was finished the winner was
wont to declare his victory by reciting
the first line of the vesper service

DEMAND FOR RAILROAD LABOR
Employment Agencies in Chicago
Ready for Business.

Chicago, H., April 12.-It is an
nounced by railroads centering here
that the season for rehabilitation and
improvement has opened. A large
number of Iaborers already have been
engaged and sent to different parts of
the country to begin operations on va
fious lines of work that have been
mapped out and additions to their
ranks will be made rapidly. It was
learned today that labor agencies
have sent word to thousands of men
TO hold themselves in readiness, and
during the next six weeks, it is ex-
pected, there will be an exodus of this
class Of employees in practically every
direction.
Estimates based on figures of pre-
vious years show that more than
100000 men are hired in Chicago an
nually for employment at manual
labor on railroads. Forecasts made
by a number of railroad officials are
to the effect that the demand for rail-
road laborers this year will be much
lighter than it was a year ago. An
officer of one prominent railroad de-
clared that it will expend about one
third as much this year for improve
ment and up-keep of its property as
was paid out last year. Officials of
other lines, on the other hand, say
that there will be comparatively little
diminution in their outlay.

CLAIM NO UNION TROUBLE.
California Santa Fe FURRY Is Cool
Ing OF.

San Bernardino, Cal, April H.
That the ten men who were dismissed
from service at the Santa Fe shops
were let out because of a desire to
do away with some of the higher
priced machinists, is a report which
emanates from good sources. Con-
trary to other reports these dismiss
sails did not come because of the men
carrying union cards and has caused
no great amount of surprise among
the men, the news of the letting out
of several hundred men in the South
ern Pacific's Sacramento shops and
other dismissals, having started ru-
NOR that the higher priced men on
several roads might expect dismissals
The fact that the ten men let out
were among the best in the shops,
naturally made them among the high
est priced. 1t is said that it is now
the idea of the Santa Fe to allow the
work to be done by men drawing less
money, and thus increase the number
OF men employed at a less expense.
1t is generally known among rail-
readers that a cut-down in expense
was started the first of the week, one
of the moves having been to cut the
day from ten to nine hours, six days
a week, with no overtime.
The recent visit of some of the east
ern mechanical officials, who are also
prominently connected with the bonus
department. in said to have much to
do with the retrenchment.

scientific farming is no longer a

Modern methods have brought results

within the next few years the globe
trotter will meet the western farmer
and his educated family basking in the
sunshine of California, enjoying the de-
lights of the Riviera or touring the orr
ent in luxury, and proudly informing
the inquirer that he comes from the
Rock Island States of America
That term, which was coined to des-
ignate the IA states through which the
Rock Island Lines operate, has come to
have real meaning, and the farmer
who lives in one of those states, points
with pride to the agricultural wealth
of the section. Rock Island States or
America marks no political subdlvis-
ion, no congressional district, no reliSi-
Gus dominion. Within its borders may
be found almost every variety of soil
and climate and every crop and Indus

a section where his agricultural prob

has scietific study, where the question
of proper varieties and the best mar
kets has the attention of experts, and
where he can be assured satisfactory
returns for his labor if he will but heed
the advice which is his for the taking.
Does he want advice? If you could see
the crowds which attend the lectures
conducted along the Rock Island Lines
by the Rock Island agricultural depart
ment, you would be convinced. In the
past six and one-half months the ROCK
Island Lines have operated special ag-
ricultural educational trains in eight
of the IA Rock Island States of Aneri-
ca. These trains have covered nearly
1000 miles, and more than 100000 peo-
pie have attended something less than
500 meetings which have been held, car
rying away with, them information
which cost them nothing; but easily
convertible into dollars, by the use or
ordinary intelligence.
Hundreds of thousands Of pamphlets
on important phases of modern agri-
culture have been printed and distribu-
ted. and the work is just begun. The
agricultural methods of whole sections
are being revolutionized. The earning
power of land is being doubled and
quadrupled, and the farmer, deaf to
the harangue of the demagogue, is join
ing hands with the railroad to improve
conditions to achieve the full develop
nent of his acres, to make his family
happier and healthier and to insure the
stable conditions which make for prog
