THE NEW RAILROAD PRESIDENT

In Howard Elliott, at the head of the
New Haven and Boston & Maine rail
road systems and their subsidiaries,
New England will have something more
than a Very capable railroad executive.
He is a man who is keenly aware that
public sentiment is a thing which is
entitled to the same measure of con
sideration as are the demands of rail
road stockholders for larger dividends.
Here is his very sensible view of the
attitude which railroad, employe and
public should adopt toward one an
other:
"The Railway Owner, the Railway
Employe, and the Railway User must
cooperate, and all must remember
the definition: The association of a
number of persons for their common
benefit. In the long run it will not
benefit the Railway User to crowd
down rates so low and raise taxes so
high that he takes away all chance of
profit from the Railway Owner. The
Railway Employe must remember
that in the long run he will not profit
If he crowds up wages so high that
the Railroad Owner has not sufficient

While icemen as a class, have the
reputation Of being heartless lot
there are exceptions. For example
there 5 T. 7. Comstoek, who has re-
signed the presidency of the Provi-

tors insisted on another advance in
prices; and then, again, there 5 F. B
French of Milford, NH, who turned
down a Boston offer of - advance per

some $4,000 extra, because he did not
feel justified in leaving his home Gus

OUR QUESTION BOX

What is good for cleaning out the
waste pipe of sink?
Not having supply of chlorate of
potash on hand Brattleboro woman
a few days ago poured a cupful or
more of kerosene oil into the sink
pipe, which had become clogged. The
result was like magic. In few min
utes the pipe was clear and water ran
through it as freely as could be desired.

Bennington was the pioneer in the
playground movement in Vermont and
naturally takes pride in the success
of its undertaking. According to the
Bennington Banner there is slight
remaining noise from the anvil chorus,
but if any man or woman viii take
the trouble to fairly investigate the
work that is being done he or she will
be astonished and delighted. Hundreds
of children are being benefited, tired
mothers relieved while scores of Young
people are being aided in developing
healthy, invigorating tastes. Benning-
ton has been fortunate in the play
ground directors which have been en-
ployed here and especially so this year.
The playground movement, the world
over, has exceeded the dreams of its
most earnest and enthusiastic promo
tors and is destined to grow and de-
velop still more in the years to come.

BIG BLAZE BURNS A BARN.

Tuesday evening about s o'clock
the barn at the Herman Miller farm
burned, with eleven head Of
horses, a buggy, a drill, and all
the harnesses. The evening chores
had been finished and the barn clos
ed for the night, and the family were
sitting in the house when the little
girl said to her father: There's a
fire coming over the hill" The barn
was then in flames. Going out, Mr..
Miller was afraid to open the south
door because of the high wind, and
when the north doors were opened
to get the horses out, the flames
jumped at him so he dared not make
an effort to rescue the animals. The
barn was almost new, having been
completed less than two years ago.
The loss of horses and barn, with
machinery, is most severe one, and
comes at the worst time of the year.
The granary just north of the
tarn, was saved with its contents

1912 KANSAS CROPS
WORTH s2s MILLION.

The grand total value of farm pro-
ducts in Kansas for the last twenty
years aggregates s4,22O,51S,S54, &C
cording to the quarterly report Of the
state board of agriculture just issued
bv Secretary F. D. Coburn, making
an annual average for the period
from 1903 to 1912 inclusive, of SILL
125, 66S.
The report shows that the gross val
ue of farm products in 1912 was 1884,
9SS,943. Twenty years before it was
s122,57O,5 Then there was only
about $4,000 acres of alfalfa; now
Kansas has more than a million
acres growing this wonderful legume,
ard the state leads all others in its
production.
Twenty years ago kafir corn was
not much of a crop in Kansas, from
the production viewpoint; last year
the Kansas kafir crop was worth
nearly s2O,OOO,OOO. The live stock
products marketed constitute the
states most valuable commodity, and
in twenty years amounted to nearly
a billion and a half dollars. Corn ran
ed next, its aggregate value being
more than a billion dollars, and wheat
in that time was worth 1924, POI 1853.
The aggregate of corn in the past
two decades was more than three mil
lion bushels, of wheat l ,25O, OOO, 900,
and of oats 544,OOO,OOO bushels. The
largest wheat crop in that time was
$4,000, 1000 bushels in 1903, and the
largest corn yield 225,OOO, 900 bushels
in 1899.

WILL BE MAMMOTH EXPOSITION.


Tulsa, Okla; March 2S.-(Special)
Eighteen sites have been offered the
city Of Tulsa for the big auditorium
which is being planned for the meet
ings of the International Dry-Farm-
ing Congress here in October. City
bonds to the amount Of s125, 900 were
voted in January for the site and
building which is to house the ten
days sessions of the big Congress. 1t
is planned that about $4,000 shall he
used in the purchase Of ground and
the remainder for the building itself,
which is to seat not less than 5000
people and which will remain as a
permanent monument to the presence
in Tulsa this year of the Information
al Dry-Farming Congress and Expo
sition.
In addition to the downtown audi
torium two buildings, each seating
1000 people, will be erected on the
Tulsa fair grounds and the grounds
themselves will be enlarged from 80
to 100 acres to accommodate the ex-
position. One Of the structures will
be Of steel and concrete and is ex-
pected to serve for other exposition
purposes in future years. The other
will be temporary structure for the
use of the International Congress.
These structures, together with the
federal building on which $4,000 is
TO be spent, a kafir corn palace to be
erected by the state of Oklahoma at
a cost of $4,000 and, probably, a spe-
cial Canadian building, will give the
International Congress about 100000
feet Of exposition space under cover,
in addition to the 100 acres which will
be filled with machinery exhibits and
demonstration plots.

THE EARNING POWER

A young man complained to his
uncle that he could not seem to adapt
his expenses to his income. Then,
said the older man, adapt your in
come to your expenses. Earn more
money"
No doubt that is the more admir-
able way to solve the difficulty; it
means a more intense application of
the higher Virtues-industry energy,
resOurcefulness-in of a more
scrupuIous practise of thrift-@which
is one OF the lesser virtues. Observe,
however, that the important word in
the uncle's advice is the word
earn" He did not say get" more
money. He did not suggest that the
young man embark in speculative
ventures, buy stocks on margin, or
seek to make quick and profitable
turns" in financial operations. That
sort of activity is more likely to lead
to disgrace and disaster than to pros
perity.
Few men get the best results of
which they are capable as earners.
Most persons follow a routine, spend
SO many hours a day at their en-
ployment, and take it for granted
that all they can do toward lettering
their condition is to put into the saw
ings bank a certain sum each month.
But if they will study the life of any
man who ever attained distinction,
in science, government, law, business
in any of the productive pursuits
they will be struck by the fact that
they do not work nearly so hard as
he did. If they think honestly about
the matter, they will admit that they
fritter and potter and daWdle in
the hours when that distinguished
soul would have been increasing his
earning capacity and strengthening
his grip on opportunity. And if they
will continue to think honestly
about the matter they will find ways
to make profitable use of those hours
of frittering, pottering and dawdling
Then the time will come when with
less strain they can put more money
in the savings bank.-Youth's Com
panion.
