few WOODEN CARS
SEEN ON PENNSY
Steel Equipment is Not Only
Stronger, But is Proving
Less Expensive

Few Of the old-style wooden freight
cars are still in service, as the majority
of the cars are OF the all-steel type In
harmony with the decision TO eventual
ly have all of its cars Of the all-steel
type, a freight ear, the framing OF
which can be used practically without
change for either box. stock or relrig-
orator cars, has been designed in the
mechanical engineers office OF the Penn
sylyania Railroad
The all-steel design is not feasible
for the two latter types OF cars, ana
in considering the box car design,
the advisability of the use of steel
was taken up with the transportation
traffic, claim and other departments
OF the railway, as we'll as with a
number OF shippers.
The decision arrived at from this
discussion favored the use OF a
wooden floor and a wooden lining,
and the new box cars are being built
in this manner. If at any time it
seems desirable to use a steel inside
finish, it can be substituted without
material change in the structure.
The stock and refrigerator cars diff
fer from this only in the lining The
box cars have sliding all-steel doors
OF special design, while the stock and
refrigerator cars have flush doors Ali
cars now beng built are c4llai a

GREAT BRITAIN
WILL NOT SHOW
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, July 31-There is
a strong indication that neither Ger
many nor Great Britain will officia
" participate in the Panama-Pacific
exposition at San Francisco in 1915.
An intimation to that effect has been
received by the state department, it
was admitted today. The reason as
signed in both instances is that such
international expositions are recur-
ring so frequently as to lose any
trade value they might possess. The
decision of the German and British
governments is not yet final Because
of this fact no official statement will
be issued by the state departmC mt. It
is likely that unofficial representa-
tion will be made to both govern
ments suggesting that it would be
most desirable for them TO reconsider
their dec sion because of the historic
import of the event the San Francis
60 exposition is intended to commem-
orate.
/ Positivei denial was made BY sec
reIary of state today that England's s
refusal was in any way due to the
dispute arising over the Panama
F! Canal tolls. Neither is Germany S
a refusal, it was stated due to a feel
+ ing Of dissatisfaction with the pro-
posed tariff law. In both instances
+ the reason assigned is an economic
one.

rank be sent at once 10 Mexico. to
ask of General Huerta, that he invite
the American government TO send
troops into northern Mexico was the
request made by Senator Pittman. Of

The situation down there is no
less than damnahle," he said. "and
It is time that we pacify northern
Mexico before some of the foreign
powers give us the alternative OF do
ing it at their demand. or letting them
do It. Our failure to act has injured
our prestige with LATIN American
countries, SO that while merieans are
being killed, held for ransom, or
thrown into filthy prisons, to die,

be glad TO take the hint and ask

and to feel that so long as they
do so they can remain as perm
nently as tho the farm was their
own. 1t is the cropper system of
the South that keeps men III the
One-mule class. Landowners
need to understand the profit that
can be made by having perm
anent tenantry in comfortable
homes, under a system that Is

farmers, tenants compelled to
farm in a systematic way, not only
for the benefit of the tenant but
also of the landowner
OF course, it is better for the

TIME TO BEGIN PRACTICING G
COOPERATION.

A reader says that the farmers
of his section would cooperate
in marketing butter, eggs, chick
ems, canned vegetables and similar
products if they knew how.
That is the point. We have had
several years discussion through
the press, and at farmers meet
ings, about the Importance OF CO.
operating, and the wonderful re-
results that will follow this CO.
operation, and it certainly does APP
pear to one who has observed the
trend of this discussion that the
time has come for less agitation
and generalities, and a little more
definite instruction. We know
what we ought to do, and what the
benefits will be from cooperative
marketing; but now some one
should show the farmers how they
can cooperate.
It is doubtful, if left to them
selves. if the farmers, as whole,
will make much progress In CO.
operative activities; or II they
make such progress, it will be too
SLOW.
The need is for organizers. who
actually know how to show the
farmers how they can cooperate.
! It seems to me the agricultural col
leees and Departments OF Agrlcui
ture, through their extension work
must supply this need. Why not
each State develop a Depart
ment of Farm Marketing? The
difficulties in the way OF econ
omically marketing farm pro,
ducts are peculiarly great, and
these, with the Importance OF the
matter, should justify somethlns
/ being done that will bring fortf
results. We have probably
preached long enough, and some
! teaching is now in order.
1t is always easier to tell how
thing should be done than to d(
it. There are scores to tell why
and how the farmers should co
operate in marketing farm pro
ducts. but what we want is some
one who will actually do tn
thing, and in that way show tn
farmers how they may DO II
| No more important line OF worl
can be done by the extension de
| partments of our agricultural In
stitutes, and they should lose nj
time in putting men to work wh'
can and will actually get farm
ers to cooperate in marketlns
