LOSS IN REVENUES
Santa Fe Is Far Behind Show
ing Last Fiscal Year.
Loss in Income for March,
1912, Was S445,OOO.
BRIGHT TIMES ARE AHEAD
Road Figuring on Capacity
Business This Fall.
Topeka Officials Report Slice in
All Expenses.

| General officers of the Santa Fe in
Topeka have received word from
| financial headquarters in New York OF
the startling falling off in earnings on
that road for the month of March
l1912 Not since 1906 has the Santa Fe
suffered a like loss in income. Even
| with a slice in operating expenses the
road was unable to overcome the loss
Not that the Santa Fe has been
| fighting an uphill game in its own
business-far from that. But all the
railroads in the southwest have met
with month of small shipments. The
fiscal year of the Santa Fe ends June
| 80 and it is feared by Topeka officials
that the earnings will not reach the
mark set by the road in 1911.
! The loss in gross revenue for the
month of March, 1912, amounted to
| S445,0OO. In attempting to meet this
| loss the road was only able to cut
down the operating expenses by a
| S19O.OOO slice. Taxes for March were
100000 more than for March, 1911.
| Including the tax the Santa F'e suffered
| loss of $4,000 in operating income.
Results of Severe Weather.
In the early part of March the
Santa Fe and all railroads in south
west Kansas and northern New Mex
fco and Oklahoma and in Colorado
were nearly tied up by snow. The
most severe weather of the winter and
the most serious blockade in history
delayed all freight traffic, increased
the operating expenses and caused
many additional expenditures for
emergencies.
This had no little effect on the
March showing.
Despite the expenses of March,
however, the Santa Fe reached out
all along the lines and clipped ex-
penses here and there in all depart
ments. AS a result, a net decrease in
operating expenses was shown.
The Santa Fe is making a frantic
effort to equal the 1911 record. For
the ninth months ended the road was
S2,300,0O0 behind the corresponding
period in 1911 in operating income.
With only three months to overcome
this loss, April, May and June, it is
not likely that the Santa Fe will be
able to reach the last years mark.
But there is going to be some mighty
close figuring in the next two months
very little money will be spent
In gross revenue the road was only

year.
1t is stated in Topeka that the |
taxes for 1912 have increased nearly |
100000 compared with the 1911 fis- |
cal year. And they see no chance |
ahead for a reduction.
The March showing-as bad as it |
looks-is not discouraging to officials |
of the Santa Fe. They are looking
forward to good times and already are |
preparing to handle the immense |
crops of this fall. More than 10000 |
cars will be available to haul the
southwest output.

PAY TEACHERS MORE.
Commissioner of Education Says Their
Wages Are Too Low.

Washington, May Higher paid
and more thoroughly equipped teach
| ers are urged for the public schools of
| the country by DR.. P. P. Claxton,
| United States commissioner of educa-
ton. in his annual review of educa-
| tional conditions soon to be distributed
! by the bureau of education.
| The report which deals with a
period covering the first ten years of
| the present century shows that, though
| the average monthly salary of male
| teachers increased 38 per cent and
the salary of female teachers II
per cent, the average annual pay Of
teachers including those in the big
cities and high schools is less than
$500. 90 49, szs1b
I'm some states,"s Or. CIaxton says,
"the wage scale for teachers falls far
below the country wide average. In
eleven states the average annual SAL
airy for teachers is less than $500; in
eight it is less than $500; in two less
than $3.50. For salaries like this it is
clearly impossible to hire the services
of men and women of good native
ability and sufficient scholarship, train
ing and experience to enable them to
do satisfactory work. Moreover, a
very large per cent of the teachers are
men and women less than 21 years
old. In the country at large less than
one-half have had adequate prepara-
ton for their work. In some states
less than IS per cent have had the
full preparation given by normal
schools and in most of the states less
than 10 per cent of the teachers in the
country schools have had such prepa-
rationS."
The report shows that in the period
covered the average number of days
attended by each child enrolled in the
public schools increased IA per cent;
the value of school property increased
rs per cent; the income of public
schools increased 83 per cent. 1t also
shows that the expenditure for public
education is less than SIS per capita in
25 states and less than $3.50 per capita
in 10 states. The number of public
schools increased during the period 70

DRY Time AHEAD.
All the Union Brewery Workers in
Kansas City Strike.

Kansas City, May Fourteen hundred
brewery workers, constituting the union
employees of all the breweries and brew
cry agencies in the city, went out on
strike today following the failure of the
brewery company to grant demands for
schedule.
During the morning there was no vio-
lence at any of the breweries Officials of
the Kansas City Breweries company an
nounced that beer valued at $500, 900 is in
storage and that deliveries will be made
as usual. The chief contention is between
the companies and the bottlers and driv-
ers. Tey demand an increase of about
10 per cent in wages, pay by the week in
stead of monthly, and an S-hour day.
Engineers, firemen, electricians, brew
ers and maltsters in the employ of the
companies had no direct grievances. They
struck in sympathy. A statement issued
on behalf of the workers. by Joseph
Proebstle of Cincinnati Ohio, interna-
tional secretary of the brewery workmen
today asserted that 1.-The brewers live in
mansions and LUXURY and have grown
rich through the exploitation of their en-
ployees.' It adds that More beer is pro-
duced per man in the Kansas City brew
cries than in any other city in the
United States.''

HE CLAIMS BRIDE.
But John MetzWin's Signature
Shocks County Officials.
West Indian Penmanship Puz-
Zles License Clerk.

John Metzwin, a native of West
Indies, and a resident of Tecumseh,
| probably will hold the belt for many
years for inscribing the most unique
signature ever seen in the Shawnee
county court house. Metzwin's name
with all the native curls and jingles
went on an application for a marriage
license Monday when the man visited
the probate court.
The Tecumseh man is large, mus
cular person with hue as dark as
the history of ancient Egypt when re-
counted by a Sunday school superin-
tendent. He has never been a victim
of the fads and fancies of American
linguists and never cultivated a desire
to see his name written in plain Eng
lish. With a pen and a limited amount
of ink, he is quite fluent in his native
tongue. So, when John Metzwin found
it necessary to decorate his application
for a marriage license with his name,
he brought fear and trembling to the
heart of the record clerk
All day that inscription that Metzwin
put on the license has attracted the
attention of court house clerks and
officials. 1t is as mysterious as the in
scription on an ancient pyramid and
might easily answer alluring terms in
a Chinese laundry. 1t is far more de-
ceptive than a beginners pot hooks in
shorthand and if the record clerk
hadn't seen John Metzwin write it
himself, she said it would have passed
muster as ordinary cat tracks. But

the art of the West Indies schools
and the marriage license clerk will

angle that John MetZwin employed in
putting it on paper.
Metzwin lives on a farm near Te-
cumseh. He came to Kansas several
years ago, made love to 1S-year-old

new TEXT BOOK.
Miss Della Van Amburgh Writes Story
in Primary Reading.

The teachers of Kansas who are
| using the state adopted primer will be
interested in the appearance of a new
book by Miss Della Van Amburgh, just
issued by Atkinson, Mentzer & Com
pany, Chicago.
Miss Van Amburgh formerly lived
in Topeka. but now resides in Kansas
City where she has been teaching
school for the past seven or eight
years.
A careful examination of the book
gives every evidence that Miss Van
Amburgh is an experienced teacher of
high ideals awake to the needs of the
child and the teacher in the school.
and thoroughly conXersant with the
best modern methods of education.
The book is a handbook for the
teacher, giving a complete series of
seventy-eight lessons, beginning with
the first lesson of the child's first day
in school, and developing the lessons
of the primer, First Days in Reading.
Each lesson is presented in bright
and interesting manner that must
prove attractive to the pupil, and make
the work in the primary school
pleasure to both teacher and pupil.
In every lesson, by relating the story
of the lesson and the reading exercises,
Miss Van Amburgh shows how the
sentences of a child's primer, which
are necessarily limited, may be made
to glow with life and meaning and be-
come of real value to the child.
'One of the greatest mistakes that
can be made in the teaching of pri-
mary reading is to begin with the pre-
sentation of words. By presenting this
mechanical side of the process first,
many bright children are often forced
to become uninterested, dull, stupid
pupils.
THE child whose mind is filed with
the thoughts of the story of the lesson,
goes to the printed page to find the ex-
preston of the thoughts already in his
mind There is no such thing as read
ing with expression, for reading is ex-
preston" The book makes provision
for the daily word drill. which be-
comes the presentation of words in
groups, expressing ideas, rather than
the isolated word.
"A knowledge of the sounds repre-
sented by the letters of which words
are formed is necessary to the easy
recognition of words, but it is a very
great mistake to direct all of the
ch1Ids powers to this phase of the
process. The necessary phonetic
knowledge may be acquired with very
end, not the end itself"
Detailed provision is made for the
presentation of the phonetic lesson
each day, and a complete and interest
ing phonetic chart combining all of
the lessons given throughout the series
Is given at the close of the book
The book is artistically illustrated
sketches
To one who thoughtfully observes
the child mind, it is an evident fact
tnat the child does not enjoy too much
variety nor too frequent change; rath-
er ne enjoys much OF one thing at one

DIABETES
Treatment That Costs Nothing if 1t
Fails to Benefit.

Diabetes has long been considered
an incurab1e disease and the only
hope held out to patients has been to
prolong their years by abstemious Iiv-

leo called DiabetoI herb has been
found to be a specific in the treatment
of diabetes, quic--lv reducing the spe-
cific gravity and sugar, restoring the
weight and building up the system.
The treatment is very inexpensive;
$1.00 worth of the herb will last two
weeks and will remove the worst
