From Germany comes this story about a novelist and an editor. The editor had ordered a story of cer- tain length, and the novelist had written several hundred words too many. In order to make the story fit the space at his disposal, the last few paragraphs were condensed in- to single sentence. This is the way it read: Won Berken took a small glass of whisky, his hat, his departure, no notice of his pur- suers, revolver out of his pocket, and finally, his life.'-The Mirror.

Why SalveS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur nng eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many different ealves have been tried for skin diseases. But it has been found that these salves only clog the pores and cannot penetrate to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged.

 Large deficiencies exist in the apprn- priations for the four agricultural schools. These deficiencies exist. in part, of liabilities for materials fur nished and labor performed A casual investigation of them discloses that in all instances they were necessary, and in many instances they were unavoid. able You wilf' investigate carefully these obligations of the state. and if in your judgment. they are valid, make provision for their prompt payment.
 It is also apparent that the growth of our agricultural schools has been rap i'd. Appropriations for dormftories and other buildings heretofore vetoed under the last administration have increased the total amount now necessary to prop erly provide for the rapid growth of these institutions. It is manifest that in some cases the usefulness and success of these schools depends upon prompt provision being made by tho General Assembly for equipment and the comfortable housing of students Detailed and itemized information con- corning the subject will be furnished you. The value of scientific learning in agriculture cannot be overestimated. Throughout the nation there has recent. ly been an awakening to. the impor- tance of this subject. You will doubt less be as liberal as the existing con ditions of the general revenue fund will permit, It Is contemplated that our agricultural schools, with other edu- cational institutions. shall be placed on special tax rate. If this is done it cannot become effective during the pres essary to provide for Improvements re- Quired and for the deficits herein fund.

Santa Fe scenic Highway

Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 21.-From Hol-
brook and Globe has come report
that a corps of Santa Fe engineers
has been working through Tonto
basin, apparently on the survey Of a
railroad that may connect those TWO
points, on grade that will take ad-
vantage Of the elevation Of the Sierra
Ancha mountains in the effort to
climb the great rim of the Mogollon
plateau. AS far back as 1881 a SINH
lar line was projected southwark
from Flagstoff and about so miles of
the line was built, only to descend to
use as the logging road of mills at
Flagstaff. The Southern Pacific made
a couple of surveys through Tonic
basin in connection with its proposed
Durango-Globe short Cur line, but
finally settler upon route northward
from Rice station on the ella Valley
railroad, short distance east of
Globe. That the Santa Fe should de-
sire share Of the heavy freight traf-
fic Of the Globe-Miami district is con
sidered only natural, but the move
reported is, nevertheless, a surprise
to those familiar with the tentative
agreement that has divided northern
and southern Arizona between the
two great trunk lines, If the Santa
Fe should build the projected line, it
would gain for its advertising the at
traction of another scenic wonder, the

islation, which represents all the lead
ing rail lines in the country.
The annual interest charge on this
amount at 5 per cent it is pointed out,
would total $SO,7SO955. According to
the committee, the construction of
wooden passenger equipment practic-
ally has ceased and rapid strides are
being made toward fully equipping
railways with either all-steeI or steel
underframe cars.
Reports received by the committee
from 247 companies operating III a
miles OF track, disclose that between
January / and July l OF the present
year, orders were placed for LAO pas
senger equipment vehicles, including
postal, mail, baggage, passenger. ex-
press. parlor, sleeping, dining and
business cars. Specifications for .Q64
or 9S.3 per cent Of these provide for
all-steel construction, while the re-
naming cars will have steel under-
frames.
OF 1880 passenger equipment We
hicles asquired in 1909 by the rail-
roads, 26 per cent were built OF steel,
22.6 per cent had steel underframes,
and 51.4 per cent were constructed Of
wood. In 1912 the railroads pprcLas.
ed 1850 cars for passenger service,
and of the total 6S.7 per cent we're of
steel and only 1914 per cent of wood.
This is shown by a statement prepar-
ed by the committee on relations Of
railway operation to legislation Of the
American Railway association a
comparison of the number of steel
passenger equipment cars in use Jan
uary 1, 1909, and January !. 1913,
shows that there was an increase in
the number of these cars during that
period Of 1866 per cent.

Progress in Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 21.-Gov-
ernor Cruce drove the first spike at
Ardmore in the construction of the
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Pacific
railroad, the new Ringing line, which
is in course Of construction west from
that city. The Kenefick Construction
company Of Kansas City, which has
the contract for building the line, has
much of the material already on hand.
Ties and steel rails for 100 miles of road
have been shipped The old right Of
way Of the Arkansas and Choctaw has
been acquired and the first 20 miles
will be easily and hurriedly built for
the reason that much Of the grading
is already done Two new towns will
be built between Ardmore and the
main line Of the Rock Island. The
new road runs muuch closer to the
Carter and Stephens county oil fields
than any now in operation and Mr.
expects to build a pipe line,
probably to one Of the new towns,
where the oil can be delivered to the
railroad. He and his associates have
acquired 10000 acres Of land in the
oil fields and will proceed to develop
them as soon as the railroad is ready
to handle the OIL
