FARMING AND CAPITAL.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
have been investigating relation of oper-
atlng capital to profits in farming. They
found that when the operating capital,
that is, machinery, cattle and cash, was
1873 of the total, the profits we're
sl67.78 per farm, increasing the oper-
ating capital to l7% raised the profits to
e43368 and when it was raised to 1925
the profits went to sl,628.55. When the
operating capital was 1885, the profits
went 70 s3,5l1.33.
These figures are the averages of many
farms and indicate quite plainly that
there is q close relation between operat-
ing capital and profit; the biggest profits
coming when one third Of the capital in
stock, machinery and cash for operating
and but two thirds Of the capital was in
land and buildings. When nearly all Of
the capital was in land and building
the profits were smaller, or to use the
familiar expression, these farmers were
land.poor. Having nearly all the capi.
tal IN land and buildings is good deal
like the merchant who has a big store
but scarcely any goods on the shelves.
Better to have smaller store with we'll
stocked shelves Likewise it is better
to have a smaller farm, provided it is
we'll supplied with stock. machinery and
cash for running expenses.-Agriculture

days. By their fruits ye shall know
them.
] Memorial Day more than any other
holiday partakes of both the religious
and patriotic If a man is Christian,
he will respect and observe Memorial
Day, If he is a patriot he will honor and
hallow the day. All of the religion of
Christ and all of the best of patriotism
is centered IN Its observance.
That Memorial Day should be observ.
cd in manner appropriate to its sacred
memories and Its influences, is empha-
sized by its distinction from the Fonrth
of July. There are similar differences
in the proper observance of these two
days as there are between funeral and
feast.
Hence the Grand Army of the Repub.
lie and other patriotic citizens regret to
see the tendency to make Memorial Day
q sort of Fourth of July. Because it is
a legal holiday, it is becoming the GUS
tom, particularly in the larger cities, to
almost entirely ignore the appropriate
exercises Of the day and to indulge in all
scrts Of sports.
The old veterans regret it, not so much
because it is their particular holiday,
but because Of what it means to the
country which they love. 1t shows and
proves the sentiment of the people.
Love of country is just sentiment it
is true, and there are people who sneer at
sentiment(? but without patriotism, it
would be poor country and of brief ex-
istence.
Memorial Day is not for the dead, it is
for the living. It is not for q lot of de.
crepit old veterans. it is for the present
and future of our country. You as
present citizen are not asked to give
your life for your country as they were,
but only to take few hours of one day
in the year to help form patriotic senti-
ment.
No, you are not asked to do it, if you
are patriot you will do it without ask.
ing,- and America only wants patriots on
guard.

The Zapata forces are active, and are

The questions pending between the
United States and Mexico will not be

to take up the questions upon an equal
basis. dealing with a friendly and equal

that his government has been recognize

columns last week, and soon will be by
Spain, and probably by Germany, France,
Italy and Austria. While he will give
consideration to American interests, he
says that he will not recognize the

Flying Boat to Cross Atlantic.

To fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 81
hours in the largest and heaviest ship of
the air ever constructed, is aim Of a young
French law student Of Chicago, who has
already constructed the hull Of an aerial
craft which he will name "Napoleon."
This machine which is described with
illustrations. in the June Popular Mech
anics Magazine, is planned to have the
widest pair of wings ever made, con-
structed of aluminium steel. The total
weight of the monoplane will be 5000
h., but the raising capacity of the wings
as designed, will be the oretically, about
1000 h., sufficient to lift crew of six
men with their provisions and fuel sup
ply.
The motive power is to be provided
by two 150-hp. steam turbines, weighing
$50 lb. each the fuel for which will be
condensed coke. Each engine will con-
troll two 8.ft. propellers of the usual shape
one pair in front and behind. A fluid In
metal ball will control the releasing
triggers for each set of balancers the
action consuming only one.twenty.fifth
of second. The inventor claims to have
floated stationary in the air for more
than 20 minutes by means of this equip
ment on an ordinary monoplane during
which time the shutters were kept flut.
terlng constantly.
1t is proposed to carry 800 lb. Of coke,
and over 500 gal. of water in two boilers,
which the inventor claims will be sufic.
lent to keep the craft in motion for IS
hours.

which are memorials of some great his

either religious or patriotic in their ma

the other is for our country; all

Christmas and Thanksgiving are typ

Washington and Lincoln's birthdays and
Memorial Day are in the class of patri-

days commemorate, in themselves sug-

How each Of these holidays shall be

rounded by the stately buildings of COL
umbia University, the Cathedral of st.

defender of liberty and friend of human
rights" was dedicated on Saturday.
The addresses of the occasion we're de-

$4,000 for the monument. and Count
Won Bernstorff, German Ambassador to
the United States. The memorial con.

Schurz placed on granite pedestal
standing on the periphery of semicircle.
1t is nine-foot statue showing Schurz
in the long coat that he wore SO often.
The pedestal bears rellefs in polished
granite, and the inscriptions:
CARL scHURz
DEFENDER OF LIBERTY AND
FRIEND OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
Two large granite seats extend on either
side of the statue, and at each end is a
base relief containing allegorical figures
representing the principal activities Of
Schurz-his work in behalf of the Indian
and negro, and his contribution toward
the advancement of the human race. In
connection with the unwilling of che

the many foreign-born citizens of the
United States q place of great promin-

he was perhaps the most distinguished

for his seat when a burly doorkeeper

FUT PROGRAM
into OPERATION

Washington, Dec. 3.-Without for
NAL action, the Democrats of the Sem
ate Tuesday put into operation the
drastic program they have adopted for
the consideration of the administra-
ton currency bill The Republicans,
after two hours Of debate, prevented
a vote on a motion calling for contin-
uous sessions of the Senate daily from
10 o'clock in the morning until IL
o'clock at night, with a two-hour din
ner recess, but the majority pressed
the bill forward at every opportunity
and kept the Senate in session last
night.
When Senator Kern presented a
resolution which would have bound
the Senate to the proposition to sit
thirteen hours a day, the Republicans
made a vigorous protest. The Kern
| resolution went over until today.
The action of the Republicans fol-
lowed a minority conference, which
decided to offer formal protest against
the Democratic program, but agreed to
make no concerted effort to prevent
speedy consideration of the currency
bill

Boston, Dec. 3.-Twenty-five men
were killed and others are missing
from a fire that swept the Arcadia
Hotel, a cheap lodging house, early
this morning. The men were sleeping
in hunks, mostly on the fourth and fifth
floors. The flames started in a closet
on the first floor and swept rapidly up
the wooden stairway
The fifth floor was one large room
filled with cots and hunks, and when
the alarm sounded the men rushed for
the fire escapes but the flames were
too quick for many of them.
On the fourth floor were several
large rooms and occurred the greatest
life loss. Three men jumped, two of
whom were killed by the fall. Some
escaped by crawling on board to the
next building.

Not only was Hobbs voice con-
veyed plainly to my earns through the
aid of that thoroughly useful instru-
ment, the rdetectaphone, but it is pos

confidante, Lieutenant Governor Bill
bo, was conveniently near, and wait

Hobbs conference with the individ-
uals.
THE proposition was this: Hobbs,
spokesman for Bilbo, wanted the
money. If he got it, then the promise
would be made that the bill would go
through.
There is no politics connected with
! this case, so far as the Burns Agency
is concerned" emphatically stated Mr.

detective agency employed to trap two
men who had attempted to secure
money for their influence concernin,

1t is intimated, on authority deeme,
sufficiently reliable, that there will b

Though there are two indictments a
