disease. DR.. Harris has issued a
statement in which he takes to task
the country doctors who have been h.
the habit of sending diptheria cultures
to the capitol through the mail. H.
says many of the doctors nave simply
been placing a part of the infecte
matter between two pieces of pap II
and sending it in an ordinary enveI-
ope. All the mail is opened togethe-,
and the germs have got scattered
around the offices.
DR.. Harris admits that these i'm
properly packed packages, which are
in violation of federal laws, have
been received almost daily for some
time past He says he has notified
the country doctors not to send the
cultures that way but that they kept
on coming and nothing else was done
to put a stop to the dangerous prac-
tice.

USE POSTAL SAVINGS
FOR WORKERS HOMES
Congressman Frank Buchanan,
Labor Member, Furthers Bill 4
of Revolutionary Type.

Frank Buchanan, formerly general
president of the Bridge and Structur-
al Iron Workers union. but now a
member Of congress from Chicago,
has introduced a bill in the house
amending the act Of June Is, 1910,
to establish postal savings with the
government. H.. be
The bill contains an, elaborate
receive deposits from individuals and
corporations. It is also contemplated
that there shall be created a. loan
bureau, under the supervision Of a
board of trustees, for the purpose of
making loans on agricultural lands
and improvements, homes and for
other purposes. The annual rate Of
interest is placed at three per cent,
and with a time limit of 20 years.
May Loan Deposits.
1t is further provided that coun-
tries. cities. villages. townships.
school districts or any other public
taxing body can borrow money from
the government for the construction
of public works within a prescribed
limit.
One provision makes it possible for
those who desire to purchase homes
to borrow a sum not to exceed SO per
cent Of the assessed valuation. The
scheme of the bill is for the purpose
Of providing means for those who
have small means to secure home at
a. reasonable rate Of interest on de-
ferred payments, as we'll as affording
states and subdivisions thereof, en-
powers to levy taxes. an opportunity
to promote public works.
"Buchanan's bill is clearly out Of
ORDER" declares Max Hays, in the
Cleveland Citizen. 1T is in direct
conflict with all precedent and usage
of this grand and glorious republic
of ours.
Won't Suit Bankers.
History shows that it is unsafe. un-
sound and unpatriotic for the people
as whole to have the right to borrow
money directly from our easy-going,
old Uncle Sam. It is only bankers,
railway barons and the like who have
and should continue to ENJOY this safe
privilege. and the common herd
should be required to pay six per
cent. and upward to the money
changers for their loans.
1T is almost a safe guess that Blu
chanan's bill will never get out OF
committee, for the corporation attor-
neys in congress will be able to prove
by: the constitution, the Declaration
Of Independence. the Bible, the Tai
nnund and the Koran that the mea-
sure IL unconstitutional, that it would
undermine the cornerstone of our
government, turn back the hands of
progress. douse the torch Of civiliza-
ton and plunge the world into stygian
darkness to pass that bill-and thus

PROFIT FROM PECANS
Cultivation on Commercial Scale
Is of Recent Date.
Method Of Close Planting Has Been
Found to Give Largest Crops
With Certainty Of Bearing
Each Year.

One of the great sources OF wealth
in Texas is the pecan groves. Roughly
estimated. these groves produce every
year something like four thousand
tons of marketable nuts, which. when
brought to shipping points. sell for an
average of ten cents a pound.
The pecan Is a native OF Texas. but
the cultivation of trees on a CONNER
cial scale, however, Is Of recent date.
In commercial scale, however, is OF
recent date. In commercial possibili-
ties 40 other tree shows anywhere
near the same income on capital in
vested as does the pecan tree.
The original expense Is nominal.
and as the trees are planted twenty
or more feet apart, the same ground
can be utilized for other purposes also
cultiyates the trees, which is the only
care they need. Grated trees are
planted to produce the large paper
shelled nuts and the most approved
method is to plant the tree 20x20 feet,
or 1875 trees to the acre.
When the trees are two or three
years old they are headed in." to pro-
duce short tree trunks. This facili-
tates gathering, as the nuts can be
gathered from the dwarf trees with
long cane poles.
