ground. The officers on duty at the
city hall seemed to have difficulty
in connecting with the city plant

time. but thanks to the able han

BRIEFS FILED
IN MERGER CASES
APPEAL FROM DECISION IN
EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
Government Criticises Lower Court
for Decision that Railroads Can
Not be Competing Lines When One
J Road Must Use Track of Other.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. G. March 12-The
government has filed a comprehen-
sive brief in the supreme court to-
day of the oral arguments to be
made shortly after April 1st, in the
suit seeking to dissolve the merger
of the Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific railroads.
In the brief, the Circuit Court of
Appeals of the eighth district. which
dismissed the petition for the dis
solution of the merger, is severely
criticised
The decision is attacked because
the court held that the Union Pa
cific could not be a competitor OF
the Southern Pacific by reason Of the
fact that its traffic is moved to Cal
ifornia points over the Southern
Pacific from Odgen, Utah.
The government held the tkial
wrong in holding that two railroads
could not be competitors, unless
competitive business could be han
died by them wholly over their own
rails. The government attorneys
contend that the rule of reason
applied by the supreme court in the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases was
not to be applied in passing upon
| this merger.

Washinton, ID. C. March 12-Sec-
retary Stimson today urged the
house committee on military affairs
to recommend legislation to in
crease the efficiency Of the National
Guard. He pointed out that in the
event of war the country will have
to rely to a great extent on the

organization, and the men hand an
insufficient knowledge of military
tactics.

State departments of agriculture
and the department Of agriculture
at Washington have published val

farming. Quietly 1t is becoming
recognized that the foundation of
national prosperity is notNthe large
farmer in Kansas; it is the small
worker of the soil everywhere.
These documents may be had for
the asking. To read them and to
learn how to make the soil under

proposition than living where you

When you plant a package of
radish seeds, and later on eat the
radishes fresh out of the garden,
you can estimate accurately what

Can Eliminate Middleman.

The middle man has been called
. all kinds of hard names.
He does not deserve them. for he
is product of the way we live.
If we do not want to get along
without him, he gets our money.
If we begrudge the money he gets,
we have only to begin life again
as producers, enjoying the fruits OF
our own industry.
No man, handed, can
change the present organization Of
affairs. If he has to depend on the
middle man that gentleman will get
his price.
But any man can change the or
ganization of his own affairs. and
cut out the middle man by becom-
ing producer of the things he and
his family need.
Such change, if he makes it.
does not, however, sever his con-
neetion with monopolies.
Water and air will be free. but
coal will have to be brought to his
door by forces he can not control
directly-unless the garden is To-
Gated over mine.
