PUSH new METHOD
Santa Fe to Inaugurate Truck
Garden Campaign.
Special Freight Service for
Smaller Shipments.

Recognizing the immensely of little
things. the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company will inaugurate
a new freight service for the accom-
mediation of farmers and gardeners
who raise produce for sale in less than
carload lots. ThoUsa nds of people suf-
fer heavy loss in the aggregate every
year by allowing small quantities of
fruit and vegeta bles to go to waste for
want of nearby market, and it is to
prevent this loss that the Santa Fe
Will start movement which traffic of
hcials of that company believe will be
far reaching.
The details of the new service have
not been worked out. but the general
plan has been decided upon. Special
refrigerator cars will be sent over the
line on stated days to pick up small
shipments of fruit and vegeta bles. At
terminal points these small shipments
VIII be transferred, and each kind of
shipment go forward in carload lots to
available markets. This will be in ad-
dition to the present regular refriger-
ator train schedule.
A feature of the new service will be
to find markets for the produce thus
gathered up, in order that distribu-
ton may be made to the best advan-
tage of the shipper.
Another feature, and one to be put
into effect at once, will be to revive in
terest in the production of garden

plain the new service to producers. and
show them that by the co-operat ton
proposed both the producer and the
railroad will profit, and the city con-
sumner Will be benefited by the in
creased efficiency of the markets

New York, Oct. 9.-What was look
ed upon as the first test of voting
strength between the high church and
low church factions came at the trien-
NAL convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal church, when Rev. Alexander
Mann, rector of Trinity church, Bos-
ton, was elected president of the
house of deputies. DR.. Mann was
candidate of the low church element
rector of Trinity church, New York,
by $50 to 242.
The president yields a strong influ
ence in the counsels of the house OF
deputies. He has duties and powers
similar to those of the speaker of the
house of representatives in congress.
DIR. Henry Austice. New York, was
elected secretary; DR.. Mann appoint

WILL WE'D A DUKE.
But Some Doubt About Miss Leish-
mans Becoming a Duchess.

Berlin. Oct. ct is reported here
on what is described as good author
ity that Miss Nancy Leishman. daugh-
ter of John G.. A. LeiShman. former
United States ambassador to Germany
and the Duke of Croy will be married
at Geneva on October IS.
The engagement was announced last
May, 1t received widespread notice
because of assertion that traditions of
German nobility would not permit
Miss Leishman to become recognized
member of the court.
No abatement of the disfavor with
which the match is regarded by the
nobility has occurred and there have
been assertions that Miss Leishman s
claim to the rank and title of duchess
if she becomes the wife of the Duke
of CrOy will be contested in the courts
by some of the dukes relatives.
AS the dukes title is of French
origin, he is said to be not directly
within the jurisdiction of German
princely laws and therefore the status
of the bride might not easily be de-
termined- The house of Croy was
mediatized by Napoleon.
The duke became of legal age-24
last April and he since has taken
the stand that he will manage his own
affairs.

TOMMY ROT" SONG.
That Is the Name Applied to Many
Sung in the Churches.

Washington, Oct. 9.-"Tommy Rot"
songs in church hymnals were de-
nounced by the Rev. DR.. Sutherland,
missionary editor of the publications
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
an address before the church'S Sun
day school conference of the Balti-
more conference. The delegates left
today for their homes.
The Tommy Rot songs that are
sometimes sung in our churches are
worse than no songs at ALL" said DR..
Sutherland. 81 can find no expression
that better characterizes them. I
hope the time will soon come when
these songs that sing us into selfish
ness-the 4 and me- kind-will be
replaced in our hymnal by the strong
songs that breathe a spirit of helpful
ness and service"
DIR. Sutherland urged that the mis-
sionary cause be dwelt upon in the
Sunday schools of the United States
in order that broader sympathy for all
the peoples of the world might be
awakened~in the breasts of Bible stu
dents

Farmers Are Busy Sowing
Wheat and Alfalfa.
There Will Be Another Good
Cutting of Alfalfa This Fall.

Farmers in the northern part of the
county are busy sowing wheat and al
falfa. According to a number of wheat
growers the prospect for the wheat this
winter is very good. There is enough
moisture in the ground to sprout the
seed in fine shape and if there is no
more rain this fall the seed will not be
hindered for the want of moisture.
Possibly there is more alfalfa being
sowed this fall than there has been for
a number of years. This crop has been
a great boon to the farmers this year
because it is almost impossible to kill

ing on another cutting from their fields
