to forty-one billion dollars; had, IN
fact, more than doubled. To this
enormous increase the farmers in
dustry and thrift contributed little.
What he contributed may fairly be
measured by the increased area OF
improved land, some three acres per
farm. All the rest, twenty billion
dollars, let us say, or, on the aver
age, $4,000 per farm, is unearned in
crement. Twenty billion dollars of
unearned increment in ten years, or
two billion dollars year. Here is
the field for Socialist taxation, when
all industrial taxes are removed.

The queen of a certain East End
kitchen craved, or, rather, sought,
permission of her mistress to en-
terrain few sister cooks on Friday
afternoons. Permission was forth
coming, and thereafter on Friday
afternoons the hum of conversation
was heard continuously below stairs,
the mistress of the house taking a,
kindly interest in her servants.
What do you and your friends
talk about2" she asked the cook one
day recently.
'Well, ma'am, I expects we talks
much the same as you do when you
has your friends here"
"And what is that?''
"Well, ma'am, you and your
friends mostly discuss the servant
question.
eyes, I suppose we do"
"And we discuss the missus ques-
tion," explained the intelligent cook.

SOCIALISM AND THE AMERICAN
ENADEETIES
FARMER"

doubt if the Socialist party
would dare to propose the logical
outcome of their premises: confisca-
ton and redistribution of the land.
But they would dare, nay, they
would be forced, to take the only
possible alternative: the taxation of
the American farmer to pay the bill
OF their necessarily costly schemes.
Let me make this quite certain
by quoting the whole clause, from
which l have already taken the first
seven words.
The collective ownership of land
wherever practicable, and in cases
where such ownership is impractical
BILE, the appropriation by taxation of
the annual rental value of all land
held for speculation or exploitation"
The meaning of the word "exploi-
tation" is not quite clear. In one
sense, farming a piece of land is ex-
plotting it. But it is clear that the
phrase is aimed at our old friend
the "unearned increment" The I'M
earned increment is to be made to
bear the cost. The unearned mere
ment is a socially created" value.
and SO it should belong to the So
ciety which created it. Therefore
let us take it in taxes and apply it
to our costly Socialistic schemes.
At this point the American far
mer comes once more into the story
1t will be remembered that, in 1900,
the capital value of American farms
amounted to twenty billion dollars
In 1910 this capital value amounted

The contractor owns the outfits and
building, which is used as a combi-
nation wagon stall and central dis
tributing plant. This man employs
seven drivers of one-horse wagons
and two drivers of two horses
These, with a bookkeeper, do the
work which formerly required TWEEN
ty-two one and two-horse wagons
and auto trucks.
Each driver attends to his own
horse and reports for work at seven
o'clock every morning, and he must
be at the grocery in time for the
goods to be in the wagon ready to
leave the store at eight o'clock.
From the store the drivers carry the
goods to the central depot, where
they are redistributed among the
wagons according to territory.
The territory is mapped out so
that each driver will have to make
only the shortest possible trips, and
there is no duplication of effort.
Formerly twenty-five delivery men
would go along the same street. Now
one man handles his district alone.
The first delivery over, the drivers
are back at the depot in time to
make a $50 o'clock delivery, and
Moons two deliveries are made, one
at 2:30 and one at five o'clock. This
schedule is kept up during the first
five week days. On Saturday after
noon three deliveries go to the resi-
dences, the first at $50 D. M, the
second at p. m. and the third at
$50 p. m.
According to agreement every or
der must be phoned to the store at
least thirty minutes before the time
for the wagons to leave
Every home in Greeley is fur
nished with a card giving the deliv-
cry hours, and the housewives know
that there will be no delay in their
groceries, unless some mistake oc-
ours, which is very rare. Should an
order fail to reach a house the pur-
chaser phones the groceryman, who
phones the delivery company's book
keeper. By checking system, which
is very simple, within few minutes
the delivery company knows where
the order went or whether it left the
store.
No more into-the-night work for
drivers. No more worry for the
housewives. Cheaper costs to the
groceryman an6 less responsibility
less wear on the nerves. Everybody
is satisfied
Quite a number of cities have
adopted notifications of this union
delivery. In some, however, the
merchants operate on a strictly CO.
operative basis, hiring an expert
manager land prorating the cost.

moved into it. The next day
the woman put in an early order for
groceries. She was astonished that
they arrived before o'clock But
at II q. m. her husband phoned out
that he expected to bring a guest
with him for luncheon. She took a
hasty look at her supply of edibles
and made for the phone. When she
connected with the groceryman a
rather animated conversation fol-
lowed.
This is Mrs. Blankenship, thir-
teen-ten Eleventh avenue"
"All right, Mrs. Blankenship.''

steak-a good one-thick, you know
and a basket of tomatoes-what
the they WORTH"
Sixty cents, Mrs BIankenship.
Goodness gracious can get
them in Dallas for 40"
The groceryman explained that
freight rates were much higher out
to Colorado.
"All right, then; send me out a
half basket, and a pound of butter,
and" Then she listed several 9TH
er things, and wound up with the in
structiOn to Send them out right
away"
At the other end OF the line the
groceryman smiled. Then he very
politely told his new customer that
the next delivery of groceries would
not take place until 230 that after
noon, and that if she had to have her
order for luncheon she would have
to send for it.
Il never saw such a town." ex-
claimed Mrs. Blankenship who,
when she lived on Bryan street in
Dallas, had frequently ordered a
five-cent loaf of bread at 1880 and
received it in time for lunch. 81

who will accommodate people. I pay

All that goes to make musical comedy successful is to be found in "The Smsrt Set" Company, which comes ito tie Elks Theatre for one night tonight. The comedy is the hands of Salem Tut Whitney, and whSn it is understood that he appears in the title role of the new produc- ticn entitled, "The Darktown politi- cian," t can be seen that he has a part suited to his peculiar and origin al form of humcT. In his fun making he is aided by the greatest bunch of fun makers ever assembled under one banner, and the musical numbers are handled by singers and dancers that can do both and do it well. There are 25 exclus ve musical hits with the show in addition to half a score of novel features to be seen only with this organization, while the scenery and costumes were evidently prepar-

TIE PACKING PLANT
 SUBSCRIPTIONS GROW
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF STOCK WAS SOLD YESTER-
 DAY BY COMMITTEE.
T. S. James Subscribed $1.000 and Liverpool Cotton Firm Bought the
 Same Amount.

Nearly five thousand dollars was secured yesterday n subscriptions for stock to insure the building of the packing plant in this city. It brings the grand total up to about $36,0 ,000. The special committee ppointed at tae mass meeting Monday night spent all day sposing of the stock and many small subscribers were listed. The committee, headed by Chairman k. B. Bloom, will visit the Cotton Belt at noon today to put the proposition Up to the laboring men, who will be more or less benefited by the new enterprise:
 Cha rman Bloom, Attorney A. H. Tedstrom made up the committee that enlarged the subscription list yester-5 day. Among those who subscribed for stock was Col. Thomas s. James, who bought a $1,O00 block of stock, and H. c. Moore, local representative for the big Liverpool cotton firm of Wild and Orme, who cabled from Liverpool instruct ng tIhim to buy $1,0OO worth of stock in the packing plant. The other subscriptions ranged from one share of $50 to $25O and many per- sons working on salary bought stock.
 There is not the least doubt but that the total amount of stock will be disposed of before the week is out. The packing plant is practically as- surea, for the comm ttee is confident that the $50,00O worth of stock to be taken here, will be taken by local people.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
AT OUR FAIRS.
BY ]. L. Stahl. Horticulturist, West
ern Washington Experiment
Station.

It is time to think of our frui,
and vegetable exhibits at the
fairs.
Should we decide to make exhib.
its let US show the best we can grow
and in manner to attract attention
In the selection and display OF
fruits keep two things uppermost in
mind - uniformity and condition
When showing a plate of apples be
sure that each fruit looks as near
like every other fruit on the plate
as possible. Do not spoil the ap-
pearance of four well colored ap-
pies by adding one that is poorly
cOlOred, or four rOundish in shape
by adding one that is oblong. A
Judge in looking over a fruit exhibit
usually places uniformity and condi
ton above all other points. Under
uniformity. he considers uniformity
Of size, shape and color; but no
matter how large, how near per-
feet in shape, or how we'll colOred
fruit must look like every other in
dividual fruit on the plate to hold
the attention of the Judge. Under
soundness or condition, he consid-
ers bruises, presence or absence of
stem, freedom from insects and
plant diseases.
In making up your collections.
pick every fruit that looks perfect,
and then make your plate collection
from what you have picked. Do
not be content with five or six of
the best individual specimens hand
led to insure a full plate of almost
perfect fruit when they go into com
petition. 1t is a good plan to see
that your exhibit is kept we'll dust
ed and free from dirt. but usually
the fruit should not be washed nor
highly polished. You might be able
to improve its appearance little,
but you are apt to bruise 1t in the
extra handling.
In choosing vegetables for indiv-
idual and collective exhibits, use
the same care in selection and hand
ling that you would with fruits.
Root crops such as radish ,turnip.
parsnip and beet, should be careful
ly washed and the side roots remov-
ed. Potatoes also make better
appearance when washed, and
should be selected especially for u
niformity. smoothness. trueness to
type, and shallowness of eye. Car
rots, celery and cauliflower always
help out an exhibit, and can be used
with good effect to help show off
a general display.
Appearance is half of an exhibit.
Good fruit or vegetables arrang-
ed in an attractive manner will
never fail to command the attention
of the most critical judge.

He Hit a Sore Spot.

One Of the greatest difficulties
experienced by men who are work.
Ing In the interest of good govern
ment is that the people, sometimes
including those who do the most
bowling when public business is no
properly conducted. do not take e.
nOugh interest in public affairs. In
making his address accepting the
republican nomination Presiden
Taft lu: his finger on a sore spot
In the body polite when he said:
THE present defects, II any. o
government are due to the failure
of the people to devote as much
time as is necessary to their polit-
ical duties"
It Is to be hoped that the people
generally will attend to their duty
ut the primaries and at the polls

ry changes III the administration of
our public affairs.

OWNERSHIP.

To own something is one of the
fundamentals of the human make
up. A boy or girl can no more de-
velop normally without owning
something than without fresh air
or food. 1t has been found In Or
phan asylums, where children are
not allowed to have even hand
kerchief as their own. that these
children are less active. more sub
ject to disease and abnormal devel-
opment.
This is one of the important fac
tors that needs to be considered In
the bringing up of children. Let
them have things of their own and
let them be really their own. There
Is no place where this can be 80
we'll carried out as on the farm. The
boy can be given dog and anoth-
err animal, as a pig or COW. The
girl can have a cat, some chickens.
or whatever may suit her the best.
When they have been given these
things, do not sell them. Just as
we'll set a meal before child and
when it begins to eat, remove It.
The taking away of what one con-
siders as ones own property from
child causes it to lose faith In
the father or mother. and this ia
ther or mother is looked up to by
the child-is idealized by the
child. To lose faith in them means
the crushing of ideals, means the
breaking Of the strings that hold
the child to the home.
Let the boy or the girl have
things that are their very own. 1t
will do much to bring about q heal
thy, normal development. 1t will
develop responsibility and strength
en- the attachment for the home.
Especially should this be done ON
the farm.
