Free Short Courses Now On

A special effort has been made TO make
the various short courses at the Mary
land Agricultural College more interest
ing and instructive this year than ever
before
The following is a list of the Courses,
and the dates when each is given:
Farm Live Stock and
Soils and Manures. .... Jan. to 10, 1912

1t is thus arranged that persons inter
ested in any particular course or courses
can take them. Many prominent outside
lecturers have been employed to aid the
regular instructors at the College for
this special work The aim in selecting
these special lecturers is to give those
attending the advantage of hearing from
those who are actually engaged in con-
ductjng different lines of agriculture
work successfully, or who have made 1t
a special study. For instance, a Hood
Ess"~r expert apple packer has been en-
gagged for a week. during The horticultural
course, to instruct in apple packing
through practical demonstration.
The aim of these SHIRT courses is to
give the students as much practical in
formation as possible. The only expense
i'll connection with the courses is board
which an be secured al the rate of s.

Farmers and fruit growers cannot af-
ford to miss the opportunity. Make ar
rangcments to leave home for IA week OF
two and attend one or more of these
courses. Write at once for Information

close study, a knowledge of the needs

lyceum patrons to know that some
competent critic is giving much time
and energy and attentive study to

Mr.. Newens, while presented as
monologist, is all that and more. His
entertaining purpose programs are
truly entertainments with great pur-
poses. He impersonates and yet he
does not. He presents his characters
of real men and woman, without cos
tunes or makeup accessories. He is
no way mechanically offensive. Prob
ably the strongest point in his work
is the message that he brings to his
audience in every program. His en-
tertainment is the sermon with the
preacher. the lecture without the
lecturer, the drama enacted without
the actors and stage properties.
"A Message from Mars" is a com
edy, story, a great play teeming
with human coalitions and problems.
Its theme is the revolution of self

NEW SYSTEM
FOR FREIGHT
Missouri Pacific Installs Symbol Sys.
TEN and May Be Followed by the
Denver G. Rio Grande.-It Is
Better for the Shippers.

A new plan of handling fast freight
| shipments on the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain system that is expect
ed TO prove popular with the patrons
is to be installed April 1. The i'm
portant feature is the prompt infor-
nation given shippers regarding the
movement of their freight
Under this new methods commod-
tiles offered for transportation are
divided into two classes-rred ball
and ordinary freight The former
group includes all perishable goods,
food stuffs, furniture, machinery, dry
goods, glassware, oils, hardware, all
import and export freight, and vari-
GUS other commodities. Ordinary
freight is non-perishable and is made
up of all shipments which do not
come within the classification of red
ball.
All district terminals on the sys-
TEN have been designated as sym
Dol stations, and a symbol Letter and
series of numbers assigned each
Thus, st. Louis is indicated by the
letter s. and the numbers assigned
that particular station run from | TO
SO. Cars of red ball freight loaded
at st. Louis will be symboled ST., So,
S-3, in consecutive order.
Red ball" is fast freight, and it is
made up in separate trains. A con-
spicuous red ball" card containing
the symbol letter and number as
signed the car is tackled on it, and
this is recorded in a book together
with the contents and destination of
the car This record of the train is
telegraphed to the office of the su-
perintendent of transportation. Ev-
cry consignee of freight is advised
on what day and hour it left st.
Louis, and when he may expect it.
Check is kept of the progress of
the car by means of brief symbol
telegraph reports. and patrons are
advised. When car of red ball
freight reaches it's destination a re-
port is made at once to the con-
signor.
1t is not improbable that the D. |
& r. G. will also make use of this |
system later on.

MARCH WAS
VERY MOIST

March was the wettest month in
the history of the Grand junction
office of the weather bureau. A to-
tai precipitation of 2.36 inches was
registered during the month which
was nearly an inch more than in any
previous March since 1876. 1t was
an inch and five-tenths excess as
compared with the normal for the
month. There was 3.4 inches snow
fall.
1t was not a particularly cold
month, the lowest temperature being
20 degrees. ranging up to as high
as So on March is.
The last months weather will de
tract considerably from the total of
clear days in the year, only days
being clear and the same number
recorded as partly cloudy.

As press word has been received that the supreme

called power These involve the conSttu
tonaiy of Chapter 652 of the Laws of Wisconsin tor 1911
which declared that the power energy IN falling water
belongs the and sought take this property from
the riparian without compensation This assertion
of ownership has been vigorously denounced since
it was first promulgated about three years ago
The people of northern and central Wisconsin have been
especially interested the principal powers in Wis
consn in this region but good citizens everywhere who
have investigated the matter have been deeply concerned
for they have realized that if the conscate
class of private property another and the decision of
our court, which is, understand unanimous, which
holds this law unconstitutional be regarded great
triumph over socialism and demagoguieSm.
This outcome has been confidently predicted by cit
zens The result will doubt prove of the very greatest
value to our state.

ninety-six men controlling the
country and twelve men controlling
the government. of whom Senator
LaFollette so bitterly complains.
Jefferson is the father of repre-
sentative government and founder
of his party. Let Senator LaFollette
emulate the example of Governor
Foss of Massachusetts, and Governor
5hafroth of Colorado, join the demo
cratic party and quit his decoy
campaign which only postpones the
triumph Of democracy. The party
of protection cannot overthrow an
oligarchy of wealth of its own
creation any more than the slave
could obtain relief from the party
controlled by the slave owner. Let
Senator LaFollette emulate the act
ion of patriotic men of 1860 when
they found their party controlled by
an oligarchy of wealth reared by
slavery"

The Commission Form.

L. E. Waterman, one of Superior's
able business men, talked to his
neighbors in the following manner
just before the election upon the
question the commission form of
government last Tuesday, and the
remarks are just as applicable to
Wausau people. Read and consider.
He said:
ut seems to me we have been
wasting our time and energy for
the last twenty years. Our city
a=d county has been financed, man
aged and run under the control of
the old political system and machine.
They are both worn out and back
numbers. The old plan of run
ming our city and county govern
ment has paralyzed business and the
sale of property with exhorbitant
taxes. So much so that We can not
secure manufacturing or wholesale
houses to give work to our people.
Voters, don't listen to politicians.
Stop and think a moment for your
selves. 1t costs under the old sys-
tenn to run the poor mans town and
county one year in round numbers
the enormous sum of $500, 600, and
the people seem to get very little
for it. IL can't Be tcorse. 1t is my
best Judgment that any three men
selected from our common council
under the commission form of gov
eminent viii do vastly better than
twenty aldermen under the old sys-
tenn. What we people want is more
business and to be fally employed
at good wages the year around.
Voters, look at the condition We are
in at the present time, business
poor and large numbers of people
out of employment. They can't get
work at any price. As the old far
mer said Let's change our luck,
make a clean sweep by going to the
polls Tuesday, Jan. %, and casting

The tragic deaths of former
president j, T. Harahan, of the
Illinois Central, aud three other
high railroad officials, at Kim
indy, Ills, few days ago,
again illustrates the small re-
gard American railroads have for
human lives, compared with other
nations. The number of passen-
gers killed ia this country in 1908
was Sol in 1909 the number was
263, and in 1910 the number rose to
421. These figures are for paSsen-
gers alone, and do NOT include train
men and other employees, among
whom the fatalities annually reach
into the thousands. Against this
slaughter of American railroad pas
SengerS the British railroads, in
1910, killed only % passengers, a
number greatly in excess of the av-
erage. In 1911 not a single passen-
ger was killed in a wreokin England.
That these wholesale deaths are not
necessary in this country is proven
by the fact that one of the big
Eastern roads, for the last two
years, has used nothing but solid
steel coaches, during which time
not a single passenger has been
killed on that road.

THE Wausau Sun sees in Wood
row Wilson all the elements of a
first class presidential candidate.
1t is commendable for a paper to
select its candidate and stand by
him, but when the national demo-
cratic convention makes its selec-
ton it should be the duty of every
such paper to support the nominee
of that convention.
The Sun intimates that Gov. Har-
mon, the very able man to which
the Pilot is partial, is wearing the
cloak of democracy and breaches
Taft-republicanism. 1t should back
up its assertion with facts. IF Gov.
Harmon is conducting himself in
that way his supporters ought to
know it. 1t is hardly possible that
the democrats of Ohio would make
the mistake of twice electing man
who was working in the interest of
Taft.
The PILOT reiterates what it has
said before, that there is not a
prominent democrat being urged
for the nomination of president but
who is eminently qualified to fill that
position, but it is also of the
opinion that some would stand a
better chance than others of being
elected. For instance, it believes
that it will be suicidal to again place
VIM. ]. Bryan in nomination. No
one doubts his ability, but for rea-
sons patent to every student of po-
litical history, his nomination would
not be wise one.
1t is the opinion of the PILOT that
Woodrow Wilson would have very
much to answer for should he be SO
fortunate as to secure the nomina-
ton, he would spend all his time ex-
planning why he was against Bryan
four years ago. Why he was
against the recall and referendum
once and for it now. Why be
classed the Poles and Hungarians
beneath the Chinese. Why he was
against labor organizations, and the
Wilson-Harvey- Watterson affair will
need Strengthening out. AL these
are matters of record that will
hang about his neck like a milestone
during his campaign. He will tire
of forever explaining and ere the
battle is half over, fall by the
wayside. Clark, Underwood, Folk
and others mentioned are good men
any of whom stand a good chance
of securing the plum. The demo
cratic party this year to secure
success, should consider well its
selection.

ANOTHER crucial step in conserv-
ing fraternal insurance was the
readjustment of rates by the Mod
ern Woodmen of America in Chicago
as sequel to the enactment in
many states of the uniform "Mobile
bill" for state regulation and safe
guarding of fraternal societies.
Chairman G. E. Piper of the Joint
committee on legislation of the
National Fraternal Congress and
Associated Fraternities of America
was present during some of the ses-
sions of the Woodmen, aiding efforts
of officers to make clear to men,
bers the fact that disaster was the
only result to be expected if the
rates continue inadequate to pro-
vide for a reserve, expense and
mortuary funds. Insurance COM
missioners also pleaded the impossi-
bility of insurance below its cost
that would pay all the widows and
other benefciaries in the days of
need. The Woodmen delegates
we're provided with a printed report
giving in detail the facts about in
adequacy of present rates and the
gravity of the need which impelled
the re-rating proposal.
