How-Do-YoU-Do VISITS c. G. w.
Great Western Fishing for Harmony
With Patrons.

Chicago, July 24.-Station to station
visits are being inaugurated along the
lines of the Chicago Great Western
railroad for the purpose of creating
better acquaintance between patrons
and officials and employees of the COM
pany. Each department of the service
will be represented by officials capable
of considering questions pertaining to
his department. Interested patrons in
the towns and cities visited are invited
to bring up for discussion any subject
of interest to the railway or to the
community. BY this method the Great
Western hopes and expects to get
closer to it's patrons and to impress
upon it's employees the fact that the
road is endeavoring to serve the public
and promote its general interests.

STEEL CARS HOT AND COLD.
Government Tests of Summer and
Winter Temperatures.

InGiana polls, Ind, July 24.-To de-
termine by temperature tests the eff
cheney of different kinds of car insula-
ton two committees of experts repre-
senting the postoffice department and
the railroads conducted an experiment
on three cars attached to a Vandalia
mail train between here and st. Louis.
The adoption of all steel cars has
brought up the question of insulation
that will give greatest resistance to
heat and cold. 1t is recognized that
the all-steel cars are. colder in the
winter and hotter in the summer than
the wooden cars. For the purpose of
the experiment, one of the modern
steel mail cars of the Pennsylvania,
one of the modern steel cars of the
New York Central and a wooden mail
car were used. The cars were equip
ped with thermometers and other in
strumen for making the tests.
The railroad men were interested in
the test because steel cars are taking
the place of the wooden ones, while
the government is experimenting with
the view of adopting type for all
mail cars.

most the same as those of last year,
the total aggregating $7,241,670 as

eleven loss. Moreover, the most pro-
nounced changes are a gain of about
$4,000 on the Minneap polls, st. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie, and a loss of $4,000
on the Missouri Pacific.
Among the other roads reporting
gains are the Louisville & Nashville,

and Prosperity.

1t is sometimes argued that the
growth of great cities is beneficial to
the farmers, in that they afford rea-
dy market, which he would not other
wise have, for his produce. But if the
population, now concentrated in the
cities, were spread out over the coun-
try, there would be just as many
mouths to feed; the produce of the
farm would be equally in demand,
and at the same time the increase of
the rural population would bring a
great increment of value to the land.
The great mercantile houses of the
cities would sell just as many goods,
also, or more. So the so-called
booster" of the cities are making
mistake, so far as the State is con-
cerned, in seeking to draw manufac-
turing and other enterprises requir-
ing many hands" to their several
centers. The growth of the cities,
as well as one of the State at large,
is more wholesome if such enter
prises are located in the country
towns. Build country, build town.

prosperity.-C. R. Barnes, University

Stars and Stripes
Torn and Trampled

New York, May 1.-THE Stars and
Stripes was torn down and trampled
under foot and red flag substituted
during a fierce fight at May day
meeting of the Socialist party and
affiliated unions in Union Square
Park late today. That a serious
panic did not ensue is believed to
have been due to the fact that thou
sands of persons on the outskirts OF
the crowd did not know what the
trouble was.
Responsibility for the tearing down
of the flag is disclaimed by the So
cialists, who assert that members oil
the Industrial Workers of the World
committed the act The Socialist
representatives on the platform ap-
peared to have done their best to
protect the national c0lors.
The trouble started at the conclu-
sion of parade of 5000 men and
women who gathered in the park fol
speech-making. Red banners, the
emblems of Socialism, already
adorned the speakers platform and
the band was playing the "Marseil-
laise" when the Stars and Stripes
was carried to the stand as the first
speaker was about to be introduced
