Exall concludes with this state

would try to contradict: With
such preparation before the
rains come, such soil should and
will absorb enough water to in

whether the rains are scarce or
not.
There is no question. but that
deep blowing in the fall is the
thing for our part of the coun-

tried it, all say that their ground
is in better condition for their
crops IN the spring than if they
wait until spring. Deep plow-

bring the money to the farmer

who saw them, and that seems
to include about everybody
around here. that Lubbock
County has a great future.

the fall there were lao tons
more water than in an adjoining

4 KILLED AND 1S INJURED
TWO PASSENGER TRAINS COL
 LlDE AT 6RANT, MO.
Both Engineers, Mail Clerk and Porter of Crews Meet Death West
 of Jefferson City.

Brant, Mo, May 2S.-Four persons were killed and Is passengers and two train crew members are known to have been injured when two St. Louis Kansas City passenger trains on the Missouri Pacific collided head-ol near Brant, 20 miles west of Jeffeffrson City
 Two of the dead were identified as the engineers of the collidng trains. One of the other two was a mail clerk on one of the trains, and tue fourth train porter.
 c. Cristine, fireman of trail No. 12, which was eastbound, and T. B. Bar nicle. fireman of train No. II, west bound, were among the members of the two crews injured, probably fa- tally.
 Immediately after the accident Mis- souri Pacific officials in St. Louis or dered an investigation to ascertain why train No II did not stop at Me Girk, the first station east of Brant, as it was under orders to do.
 The dead in the wreck are:
 Engineers Afford and Arthur Nc. Donald both of St Louis.
 Frank Phelps, mail clerk Webster Groves.
 Frank Neal, negro porter, St. Louis.
 Both iremen, Barnickle and Jack Christine of St Louis, were probably fatally injured They are at a local hospital in St. Louis
 The fact that No II did not stop in- dicates to the railroad officials that the two trains, both of which are fast passenger trains, were going at full speed when the collision occurred.
 A report that the two trains caught fire after the collision and were burn ing was denied at the St Louis offices of the Missouri Pacific It was de clared the steel construction of the passenger cars saved the train from burning.
 The passengers injured were on the westbound train. The baggage cars caught fire and were partly destroyed.
 R. T. c. Matthews, assistant gen. eral passenger agent at Kansas City, who was on passenger train No. 12, took charge of passengers, and train from Jefferson City took them there.

London. May 2S.-Peace in the Balkans seems a long way off, and ,be Balkan alliance, which held to- gether long enough to bring about the defeat of Turkey, apparently is on inc verge of disintegration before the allies reap the fruits of their costly victory. In fact, a new Balkan war, more serious, perhaps, than the fight against the Moslems, now is immi- nent.
 In diplomatic circles. Servia's rep resentations to Bulgaria amounts to an ultimatum, and as the government at Sofia is said to be not likely to grant the demands of Servia, the all liance is about to be broken insofar as it applies to Bulgaria and Servia. Although 1t was said that no fighting was going on, Greece and Bulgaria are still in a state of war around Saloniki.
 It is believed that Greece and Ser via are mutually relying on each other for aid in opposing the Bulgars, and Dr. Daneff, the Bulgarian peace pleni- potentiary now in London. is authori- ty for the declaration that Bulgaria regards the present situation as in tolerable," and will yield neither to Servia nor Greece.

 Senator Nelson, Republican mem Der of the senate committee on bank ing and currency. introduced a bill proposing system of "assetsecured currency" for national banks, under which the banks of the country could, if necessary, issue emergency cur rency to the total amount of 95,000,000. The bill would give banks authority to issue the new notes to an amount not greater than the difference between their present bond-secured currency and their total paid-in capital The new notes would constitute a first and preferred lien upon all of the assets of the bank by which they were issued
 To restrict the use of the new cur rency to emergencies the Nelson bill proposes a tax of per cent per year on the extra notes increasing in rates monthly, and reaching 10 per cent in five months.

TO REDUCE ELECTRICAL

Bismarck, Feb. 3.-Gov. Hanna
has suggested that a great saving
can be made in the operating of the
state railway plant at the capitol,
where power is generated to haul
street cars to and from the city. Fuel
for the power is hauled by teams
from Bismarck. Gov. Hanna would
close the plant at the capitol and
use the electricity from the prison
plant, which would save the state
probably s4OO per month.
Gov. Hanna also has plan where
by he will try to interest eastern cap
ital in establishing an electric plant
at some point on the coal fields
where he thinks it will be possible
to generate electricity for the entire
state, and hopes at little later date
that it may be sent as far as the
Twin Cities. The gases from the
coal used in the briquetting process
would be admirably adapted for this
purpose and may be utilized.

GRAIN GRADING in MINI.
Legislature Investigating Reports of
Reducing Grades for Mills.

St. Paul, Feb. IA committee of
the legislature has been investigat-
ing the department Of grain inspec-
tion in Minnesota. George P. Tun-
we'll Of Minneapolis, assistant chief
grain inspector, was before the house
committee for three hours.
Tunwell said that to the best of
his ability he did not know of any
Minneapolis or st. Paul millers or
elevator men who attempted to in
fuence any of his subordinates to
grade grain lower than it's value.
He also claimed that to the best
of his knowledge the elevator men
and millers were not instrumental
in getting men, with whom they were
friendly, appointed as deputy grain
inspectors.
James Manahan, attorney for the
committee, sought to show. that in
case of doubt in the grading of a
car of wheat, the benefit was given
to the mills or elevators. The re-
duction of grades has been the means
of great loss to shippers, and the
committee had evidence that led it
to believe that some of the big. mills
get cars of wheat. on their tracks,
then call for grading and have the
grade lowered. The committee Sc
cured information to the effect that
during the last year shippers and
buyers called for re-inspection on
about $4,000 cars. On about 5000
cars the grade was lowered. About
10000 cases were dissatisfied with
the grading and took their case to
the board of appeal and of these
about 1000 cars were again raised
and only 1000 lowered.

STUDENTS AFFECTED
BY LIVING COST.

That university students in the
west are nearly as hard hit as those
in the east by the increased cost Of
living, is evident from the results Of
an investigation recently completed
at the University of North Dakota at
Grand Forks. 1t costs North Dako-
ia seekers after higher education 81
per cent more for board and room
fees than it did 20 years ago. The
actual board and room cost has in
creased only 16 per cent. but the
fees now paid as result Of the var
led curriculum shows that the real
cost Of living is about the same as
in the east, 40 per cent more than
20 years ago. -

.FiRE-PROOF BUILDINGS
AT CARRINGTON
Three Planned for Erection. Work
Beginning Next Spring.

independent: Three fire proof
buildings are already planned for
spring building, on the Main street
of Carrington. L. C. Green will
start work at the earliest possible
moment on a two story structure,
forty-five feet deep. John Gusand-
er has plans being drawn for both a
fifty and a seventy-five foot frontage
brick building. J. Buchanan & Sons
have temporary plans about ready
to be turned over to an architect for
a cement block building, 50X140 feet
two stories high.
With the breaking of spring and
the return Of the warm days, it is
probable that the building fever will
become infectious and others will
erect buildings.
Mr. Green will erect his building
on the lot he purchased of Graves &
Co., shortly after the recent fire. 1t
will be of brick, forty-five feet deep.
1t is impossible to build a deeper
building, as the upper rooms of the
Beck Clothing Co. building, which
is used as sleeping rooms by the
Kirkwood, must be protected for
light along the east wall.
MI. Guslander is not certain what
direction his building activities will
take. He is having plans drawn for
SO and - foot front buildings. One
of them will be decided upon and
built
The Buchanan block will cover the
full double lot and according TO pres
ent plans the firm will occupy only
the front forty feet Of the 40 foot
structure. Along the west wall, ap-
preaching the postoffice building,
four store rooms will be arrange d,
each With u 25 foot front and eX-
tending back 30 feet. The base
ment will be fitted up for rent and
storage. Over the first Hoor rooms
big hall will be made. The build
ing, ii is said, will be as near fire
p1sa.s as the court house. The yin yin
dow openings will be of steel, the
roof and the second floor of rein
forced concrete. A maple floor will
be placed on the hall bottom.
