Government Land Yet To Be
Had

There is still plenty of land in
Western Kansas open to settlement
by the homesteader. Fl. f. Milliken.
recorder of the government land Of
flee at Dodge City, says that there IL
10000 to $4,000 acres in the western
end of the state open to settlement
and that some of 1t is well worth
proving up on.
There is no settlement land IN
Ford county or Gray or Haskell.
Most of 1t is In Morton county, al
though there is some in the south
ern part of Finney county. Three
Reno county men have recently taken
quarter sections in Morton county
They were prompted to do this whep
they saw former neighbor OF theirs
in Reno county gathering crop OF
broom corn that Retted him $500 a
ton from his Morton county home.
stead.
Now, that the new homestead Law
has been passed, settlers may make
final proof on their land after three
years settlement instead Of being
compelled to live on the land five
years. This new law is proving pop
ular with the settlers. Notice OF the
provisions OF the new law were sent
out to three thousand settlers by the
Dodge City Office and as result the
mail that is being received now is
enormous. Every settler is inter
ested and writes to ask for informa-
tion on some point that he does not
understand. About $50 applications
have been made for final proof un-
der the new law by settlers who have
already lived on their land the three
years now required Opportunity is
given the settlers to prove up under
the old law, If they desire, but in
that case they must notify the land
Office within a specified time. If no
notification Is received it is taken for
granted that they will prove up un-
der the three-year law.-Dodge City

There's Work Enough For

The United States Steel Corpora
tiOn, crowded with orders, needs five
thousand y men and needs them so
urgently that 1t Is not only advertis-
ing but Is sending out canvassers to
look for them Other steel mills and
all kindred industries are in the same
plight.
In the motor car, furniture and
other Industries which center in the
neighborhood of Detroit the shortage
of worbmen is keenly felt. From the
free labor bureau of Cleveland comes
the statement that the demand for
labor is so acute that not an available
workman can be allowed to leave the
city. In the daily papers of any con-
siderable city the help wanted"
columns are swelled far above their
average space. Statesmen, clerks,
bookkeepers, chauffeurs and men for
domestic service are wanted by the
hundreds.
Nor is this insistent demand con-
fined to those who possess some spe-
cial training or mechanical skill.
From the west comes a stentorian
cry for fifty thousand men to help
with the harvest. In every section
new work is in progress and the call
for day labor can be heard. From
New York there soon will be de-
mand for ten thousand skilled work
men to help build $2O0,0O0,OOO
of rapid transit lines. The supply,
already shortened by the aqueduct
and other big undertakings, is likely
to be far below the demand.
All this tells of satisfactory bust
ness in every branch. With labor
employed all over the country, and
at the good wages which must pre-
vail when demand exceeds supply, ev-
cry retail store, every traction line,
every place of recreation will feel the
benefit.
Unless something unforeseen oc-
ours to breed a lack Of confidence,
the coming autumn promises to be
one OF excellent business all round,
and one in which no able bodied man
who really wants to work need lack
for a means of earning support for
himself and for those dependent up
on him.

place had an accident which resulted
in a broken arm. He was standing
on the side lines watching the game
when the catcher made run to catch
q foul which was knocked high into

his eyes fixed on the ball and did not
see the old gentleman, and did not
see the old gentleman, and he collided
with him, with him, with the above

PRAISE FOR THE
 CORPORATIONS
They Have Made Our People Prosperous, Gov. Baldwin
 Tells Business Men

Stafford, March Ex-Governor Sim
 con E. Baldwin, speaking last night
 before the annual banquet of the Staf-
 ford Business Mems Association
 praised the work Of the corporations
 saying, "the more there are of them
 in active business, the better for the
 State.''
 l The Governor said, after making pleasing reference to early Stafford history:
 Most of the industries that Staff lord throve on a hundred years ago, l nave disappeared. Yet she has dou-
 bled her population, her prosperity,
 and her industrial importance. How
 is it? By three things: the invention
 Of modern machinery, the introduction
 of coal to raise power, and the laws making incorporation free to all. | ''It was once thought that modern machinery by displacing hand tools,
 would lessen the opportunities for hand labor Experience shows quite i the contrary. It takes human hands of its products. The greater the pro- duct, the more the men employed 'But manufacturing is a risky bus mess. The profits are a small per centage of the receipts. It must be run on large scale to pay, under
 AiIoACIi II IOIlOlIIOlS 4NCW York recognized these truths a hun
 dred years ago, by passing in 1911 a
 general incorporation act for manu-
 featuring purposes. Connecticut soon
 followed her example. More than any , one other thing has the privilege of freedom of incorporation for manu- facturers built up Connecticut. 'It has offered an easy way for get ting the necessary capital, and less ened the risk by releasing the share holders from any liability except that l of paying for the shares they sub scribed. for.
 '"The cry of the street just now is | that the corporations are danger to the people. But it is they that have ! made our people prosperous. They transact nineteen of our heavy trade. They are simply a few men, associated under common name with a common fund to trade on. The | more there are of them in active bus | mess the better for the State for the more business will there then be.

MOBILE SKIRT
 CARS COMING
Bridgeport Will Soon Have
 Lower. Stepped TrOlleys

New Haven, March 29.-New Ha- ven, like New York city, will soon have the hobble skirt cars and though the hobble skirt may not be the last word in the world of feminine fash ion, the styles have not so changed that the lower steps will not be ac- cepted with gratitude by women. The Connecticut company is not particu- larly concerned with the coming and going of women's fashions, not to such an extent, at any rate, that it needs the width of the feminine skirt, by the order of the public utilities commission, which directed that low CT steps be placed upon the cars in time for the summer travel, so that women could get on and off with com fort.
 Already fifty cars which will be used in this city, are being, equipped at the local shops with lower steps, One-half of the cars must be complet- ed by June 1 and the rest by July i. New Haven will have it's share by June l.
 On the old cars the steps will be lowered, and on the new cars there will be double adjustable running boards. The height of the old boards varies from 20 to 22 inches, and the order of the commission states that they must not be over 16 inches from the ground. When the closed cars are taken off they will have to go to the barn and the steps of these must be lowered to 16 inches from the ground before September l.
