ROMANCE OF AMERICAN STEEL

Never has more interesting story of American enterprise and adapta- bility been told than by James A. Far rel, president of the United States Steel Corporation, in his testimony in the governments suit for the dis solution of the company. The increase of exports from 2,,ooo tons in 1903 to 2,246,0oo tons in 1912, with a redue- ton in the -cost of selling, over the same period, from per cent to four ffths of per cent; the building up of business with 6uenos Ayresv for instance, of $6,oOo,oOo a year; the training and employment of 26o agents in foreign lands; the operation of five of the American Steel and Wire Com pany's mills, and employment of 10000 men, for export products aione--ali these facts talk eIoquentIy of the value of combination.
 The fact is clear enough that Am. erica is benefittins by an enormous business it did not have before the steel trust was formed. The problem is to preserve and increase that busi- ness while eliminating any burden on the home consumer, caused either by lack of competition or by 8 rush to pay dividends on a faneifui eapitalixa- ton. It is a problem not yet solved, and certainly not to bs solved by "dis. solution" suits.-Ex.

SORE SHOULDERS

Horses are frequently affected with
sore shoulders. Among the most i'm
portant causes, are, improperly fitted
collars, too large collars, loose har-
ness, too wide collars at the top, and
not cleaning the collars and the
horses shoulders after u days work.
The first thing one will notice the
skin over the affected part is hot, dry
and painful. Then the horse will
show pain when put to severe pulling
AS time goes on swelling appears
just above the point OF the shoulder,
later fills with serum and If it is not
opened becomes infected and an
abscess is the result.
In the first place have the collars
fit the horse snugly-too loose col
lars are worse than tight ones, keep
the harness tight, clean the collar
every night, and wash the shoulders
of the horse with cold water.
If one can treat the sore shoulder
before it fills with serum, bathe 1t

skin has haired over. Oftentines
after pus has formed and the horse
has not been put to work for some
time, the pus becomes cheesy and
later dries into q hard bunch. Then
when the horse works again the
shoulder becomes sore. The only
remedy is to have this hard, firm
tissue removed and treated with dis
infcctants until healing is complete.

TWO MUCH RED TAPE
FOR HOMESTEADERS
Lane to Abolish 1t and Hustle up
1900 Land Case Appeals.

WASHINGTON, July, 16,-Secre-
tary Lane of the interior has sent q
letter to the members of the senate and
house committees on public lands
urging n deficiency appropriation of
$50, 900 to be used in facilitating the
disposition of 2,2OO land appeal cases
which have accumulated in his de-
partment. The secretary points out
that the force now engaged is the same
as twenty years ago, although in that
time the work has increased three fold.
''The present force" writes Secre-
tary Lane, sis entirely inadequate.
Practically all of these cases come
from the Western and Southern states.
They involve the rights of claimants
to homestead and mineral lands, the
claims of railroads to land grants and
of nearly all the Western states, to
school lands.
"The delays in the Office necessarily
are great, cases often running two
years before they reach the secretary
on approval. TO this period must be
added at least an additional. feel
that such delay is doing a grave in
justice to these litigants, who, in most
part, are contending for their homes
or for an opportunity to make homes
The secretary adds that Ito take up
a homestead under our present lawsre-
quires not only the courage of the pio-
neer, hut the fortitude to face almost
inevitable litigation for a long term of
years.
He insists that such litigation
should be made less expensive and
more expeditions. Denver Times.

ONION BLIGHT OR MILDEW

In a few of the truck growing re-
gions of the state, this disease has
been rather serious. 1t makes its ap-
pearance the latter part of June or the
first part of July. Damp weather or
excessive irrig cation favors its develop
ment. 1t is possible to RECOGNIZES the
disease in its very early stages Essiy
in the morning, when there Is nsois-
ture on the leaves, infected leaves
have q peculiar, furry, violet tinge.
Later on they become covered with
white, mildew.like growth and finally
collapse. AS result Of the leaf
infection, the onion bulbs do not
reach their proper size. If there is a
serious outbreak of the trouble it will
pay to spray with Bordeaux mixture.
This should be applied frequently un-
til the disease is checked. Onion blight
is carried over the winter on dead
onion leaves. If the disease has been
prevalent in a patch, care should be-
taken to rake and burn all the tops.
In case it has been serious for several
successive years, it may be we'll to
practice crop rotation, not going back
to onions until three or more years.

BEGIN TO PREPARE AN
EXHIBIT FOR THE
COUNTYFAIR

The products which are to win the
prizes at the fairs next fall are now
in process of growth. The excellence
is going to depend upon the care and
thought bestowed upon them from the
very beginning of the growing season.
Men who are accustomed to growing
prize winning products begin year
in advance. The soil is chosen and
put in the best of condition., the seed
is carefully selected, the young plants
are watched and the products to be
exhibited are chosen long before the
harvest time In the fruit district the
tree that is to grow the prize winning
fruit is chosen q year in advance and
the particular fruit from which final
selection is made is marked early in
the season. The exhibitor will do
we'll to give thought to what consti-
tutes the standard of excellence. He
should know the score card and select
the products accordingly. Not infre-
quently products are chosen principal
ly for their large size, or often one
will exhibit an inferior product. When
he sees theprize winning product and
knows what is desired he realizes that
he has left better products at home
than those which win the prize. Any
one who intelligently goes and exhib-
its a good article will find himself
we'll repaid, not by the prize he wins
but by the educational influence upon
his own thought and system of farm
ing. He will have been enabled also
to contribute something to the success
of the farm and to the education OF
the community.

More Pay and More Work for
Country Teachers Of State.

Under the provisions Of the mini
mum wage bill for school teachers,
which went into effect yesterday, about
$500 school teachers in the state vii,
receive more salary next year. These
are the teachers in the schools locate d
outside the larger cities of Colorado.
This announcement was made by
Mrs. Mary c. G. Bradford on her re-
turn from Salt Lrke City, where she
has been attending the session of tie
National Education association.
The new bill also provides that the
school terms in all districts shall be
not less than six months. This also
will give teachers more pay by reason
of longer time Of work. The old law
stated that school should be held for
term of at least twelve weeks.
To meet the requirements of the new
law considerably larger sum will be
required for school purposes than here
tofore. Fortunately the one depart
ment of the state that is not worrying
about funds is that of tho superin-
tendent of public instruction, and SO

CANNING OF FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES.

Success in canning depends upon
the exclusion of air and complete ster-
ilization. If air is to he excluded the
Jars and covers must be in perfect
condition and the rubber rings fresh
and of good quality. 4 =.
Stewins Method
Sterilize fruit or vegetables by cook
ing in open kettle until tender, put in
to sterilized jars and seal. This is
the method most commonly used.
Baking Method
Fill the sterilized jars with fruit
and cover with water or q thin syrup
IA pound of sugar to each pound OF
fruit. Put covers on loosely and place
the jars in the oven on u cloth in u
pan of water. Let the softer fruits
cook from ten to twenty minutes.
The had fruits will tax o longer
time. Adjust the rubbers fill the jars
with boiling water, or syrup, and
fasten on the covers.
When canning vegetables add one
teaspoonful of salt to each quart be-
fore filling the jar with water. Strong
iuiced vegetables should be parboiled
five minutes and the water drained off
before they are placed in jars. Most
vegetables should cook from twenty
to thirty minutes, a few may need
longer cooking.
Steaming Method
Prepare tho same as for baking and
place on the shelf on patent steam
er, or on a rack or false bottom placed
in q boiler containing three or four
inches of water. Cover the boiler
securely and allow the contents to
steam from one to three hours, ac-
cording to the hardness of the fruit or
vegetable. Remove jars from boiler,
fill with boiling water and seal ..

Is it because John Smith is less

WILL REPORT IN DECEMBER
The Presidents commission is
still in Europe. 1t will probably
make a formal report to congress
at the regular session in Decem-
Der. AS the Commission is made
up of distinguished men of wide
experience and keen intelligence,
its findings should have a far
reaching influence on legislation.
OF course, the commission will
not confine its inquiry to Europe's
land banks system. 1t will study
and report on some of the off,
shoots of that system. It will
consider the cooperative banks
which the European farmers have
established with the money they
got through the Landschaft. and
the the cooperative societies they
have financed for the collective
purchase of their requirements
and the collective distribution of
their products.
Then Congress will endeavor
to use some of the knowledge
thus secured in an effort to bet
ter the condition of the workers
on the American farms.

sia provide that these banks may
be organized under government
supervision. They have limited
and we'll defined functions. They
may accept mortgages on land
and issue bonds for the face
value of the securities. The bonds
are then sold by the borrower on
the open market. Practically
no capital is required to establish
a landschaft, A body of citizens
in certain locality band togeth-
er for the purpose of organizing
a land bank. They apply to the
government for a charter. After
an investigation, it is granted
and the government names the
President of the institution. He
is an expert and holds Office for
life or during good behavior. The
organizers select the other men,
bers of the board of directors,
who by virtue of their Offices be-
come quasi public officials. Now
the bank is ready to do business.
Adolph Schneider appears seek
ing loan on his land. The di-
rectors appraise his holdings and
agree to accept mortgage-per-
haps fifty per cent of the ap-
praised valuation. Schneider
agrees. the mortgage is executed
and Schneider receives a bond
for the amount Of his mortgage,
signed by the directors of the
landschaft. He sells this bond
on the public market and pockets
the proceeds.
Schneider is charged a small
fee to meet the expenses of the
Landschaft, and he is expected
to meet the interest charges on
the bond. Should he default the
Landschaft is authorized to take
possession of his farm and sell it
to the highest bidder. No court
proceedings are required. The
decision of the directors of the
Landschaft is final and there is
no appeal. When Schneider's
land is sold, the bond is redeemed
with the proceeds and the bal

LOW RATE OF INTEREST.
The interest on the bond range
from three to four per cent.
There is an unlimited market for
them. In fact they command a
higher price than the govern
ment bonds which draw the same
rate of interest. The four per
cents always command par and
sometimes a slight premium.
They are in particular demand as
investments for trust funds and
for bequests left to widows and
orphans.
1t can be readily seen that con-
fidence is the very cornerstone
of such a system. The Prussian
and German governments main
tain so rigid a supervision of
these land banks that investors
never question the value of the
bonds. They know the security
is ample and that the bonds will
be redeemed on maturity.
BENEFIT TO COMMUNITY.
When the farmers of Prussia
wish to establish a cannery, a
aourmill or a beet sugar factory,
they do not have to wait, cap-in-
hand, in the ante-room of some
bankers office. They can

derstand that he does not know
it all''. The old gentleman has
heard so many sneers at the ex-
pense of Ignorant foreigners,
and he has given ear to so much
clap-trap about cheap foreign
labor" that at times he has felt
that the unfortunates who lived
on the other side of the big mill
pond, known as the Atlantic
Ocean, were both enslaved and
benighted. He believed the
world could teach him little.
But many recent events have
served to sadly disturb our I'm
cle's complacency, and the truth
is dawning upon him that while
America taught the world the
principles of Democracy. the
world has far outstripped its
mentor in the principle applica-
ton Of those principles; that
while we have been indulging in
much vain boasting concerning
the institutions founded by our
fathers these older countries have
been boldly and insistently seek
ing the path to industrial free
dom.
AIDING THE FARMER.
All of which brings us to a
consideration of the activities of
the commission named by the
President to visit European coun-
tries for the purpose of studying
agricultui al cooperation and rd-
ralcredits. You remember some
twenty years ago we wasted a
good deal of cheap wit on Popu-
lists schemes to lend money to
the farmer on his crops and his
, land at a reasonable rate of inter-
est. Itwas denounced as chimer-
ical, or something like that. and
the farmer continued to pay the
banker from 8 to II per cent for
the little accommodations he re-
uuired. Since then the country
has adopted practically all the
other planks in the Populist plat
form-Wilson, Roosevelt and
Bryan have led the movement
and now we find that the Europe
an countries have seized on this
Populist scheme for rural credits.
And-wonder of wonders!-Kai-
ser Wilhelm's country has devel-
oped the idea more successfully
than any ether nation! l have
before me letter from one Of
the most distinguished members
of the Presidents commission,
David Lubin. He has been study
ing the land banks of Europe,
and he says they have proven OF
''incalcuable benefit to the farm
ers of Europe and could be made
of equal benefit to the farmers of
the United States-if properly
fe-guarded by the State and
National governments"
+. Lubin lays great emphasis on
that last proviso. European land
banks have peen successful SOLE
ly because the government. has
rigidly supervised them and kept
them out OF the HANDS, of exploit

PRUSSIA'S PLAN.
Lubin is convinced that the
most adaptable, plan ard the one
which would permit of the widest
application in the United States
is the Landschaften system OF
Prussia. The plan of the Land.
schaft is simple. A Landscaft is

has already been used for a dance by
the Eastern Star
Two years ago this time, the East
Chicago Masons purchased the two
lots on which their building stands.
Last spring, work on the new temple
was begun.
The structure is one which does
credit to the thoroughfare it graces
and which will continue to do credit
to it for many years. Even after it
is lined on both sides for miles with
substantial structures Chicago ave-
nue., as the principal highway in East
Chicago will be ornamented. rather

East Chicago Masons looked far
enough into the future to insure this

their building.

that it makes converts to Christianity
in equally large numbers. DIR. Boyn-
