Pigs in the orchard

Small pigs in the orchard and
small chickens in the garden are both
excellent in their way. The hog in
the orchard and the hen in the gar
den, however, are not to be tolerated.
The pig in the orchard constantly
roves about; doing a little roofing,
yet only enough to benefit the trees.
He spreads manure evenly ever the
soil and eats all wormy apples as
soon as they fall. In orchards where
pigs are kept year by year but very
few wormy apples will be found, as
the worms get no chance to mature
into flies and reproduce themselves
Small pigs will not root deep enough
to do damages, and will not eat the
bark of the trees as hogs are apt to
do. Chickens having the run of q
spring garden do only good. They
are too small to do damage scratch
ing, but they run in among the
young plants and spy sharply about
for bugs and insects of various kinds
which in fest them. OF course hen
with chickens will ruin newly
planted row of vegetable Seed but if
the coop is placed near the garden
or in it, and the hen confined, the
chickens will run out and destroy
hundreds of insects.--Indiana Farmer.

CURRENT
PRESS COMMENT
Work and Wages.

Work! The workman wants work
Work means wages. When the fac
tory slows down or shuts up, the pay
envelope fattens out or disappears
and the dinner pail is half empty
The greatest industry in this country
is that of the railways When they
are prosperous, 100000 workmer
on the railroads and 100000 more
in the countless shops that supply
material for the railways are busy
at fair wages. Let us emphazise the
point: The American Car e. Foundry
Company is prosperous when the
railways prosper. Its business de-
Ponds upon the orders it receives
from railroads. It's last annual re-
port makes a startling exhibit. It
shows that net earnings during the
year declined from $6,240,000 to $4,-
10000. President Eaton reports
that business is ION a keenly COM
petitive basis, with an exceedingly
morrow profit margin What chance
is there for good work and good
wages under such conditions? The
American Car e. Foundry Company,
during the fiscal year, employed on
AN average nearly $4,000 men an j
paid out in salaries and wages over
100000. Think of these figures!
Do they interest the workingmen and
the business men of the country p
Leslies.

The commission form of govern
ment is going to be more the subject
Of recall in Spokane, where Judge
Webster of the superior court has
just isued a writ of mandate to com
pei the commissioners of Spokane to
call Immediately a special election
for submission to the voters of char
ter amendments abolishing the COM
mission form of government. This
step is not taken TO mean that the
commission form of government has
been found to be a failure in Spokane
as it is that certain people not hav-
ing obtained what they wanted per-
sonally out of the government have
assailed it through their rights under
the law to have it recalled. 1t will
be found, no doubt, that the element
of discomfort is limited to the few
who have more unrest than real rea.
Ian to have the government upset.

LACES HOPE In THE CORN
CROP

1t was said years ago that the
ideal of the Illinois farmer was ''to
buy, more land to raise more corn u
feed more hogs to buy more land
to raise more corn to feed more
hogs, etc. and now the whole coun-
try has hopes that that ideal will not
only be realized in Illinois. but in
other corn and hog stotes all over
he Union.
Secretary Wilson, of the Agricul-
tural department, predicts that In
consequence of the splendid corn
crop, beef and pork will be cheaper
than it has been for a number OF
years and declares that the agricul-
tural outlook Indicates reduction
in the cost of living next winter"
Here is a prediction not along the
line of legislation for the cure but
along lines that are safe and sane,
and based upon economic laws. The
'shigh cost of living problem can
never be attacked so successfully as
along the line of increasing the food
supply The large corn crop will en-
courage feeding and the beef and
pork supply win send down the mar
ket price There is nothing half so
certain to bear the market price OF
other corn and hog states all over
IDLE supply"

suit filed here today for the dissolu-
ton of the Moving Picture Patents
company and the General Film com
pany.

creasing or decreasing the number of
motion picture theaters, in which
they have no proprietary interest.
The following corporations and in
dividuals who are officers or directors
are named defendants:

The cost of living depends directly
upon the amount of production, but
indirectly upon the cost Of distribu-
ton. The transportation companies
and the men engaged in distribution
add directly to the cost to the ulti-
mate consumer and If the matter of
economic distribution is solved the
question of cost will be reduced. To
this end river Improvement and rail-
road rate regulations are questions Of
paramount importance.
