Mail Contractors are Worried

Lander, Wyo., Dec. 30.-Because
Frank Wetly, who conducts a store
at Dubois, 100 miles from the railroad,
figured out that it would be cheaper
for him to ship beans by parcel post
than to pay freight, Bybee & Beard
wish somebody else had their mail
contract. Recently Welty had 1900
pounds of beans shipped from Powell,
Wyo., to Dubois. by parcel post, the
shipment consisting of sixty packages
of twenty pounds each.
After hiring a freight outfit to de-
liver this mail at Fort Washable, By
bee & Beard addressed a letter of pro-
test to Welty: Today they received
the following reply:
"Gentlemen-Cheer up-the worst
is yet to come. l have five tons more
of beans coming from Basin by parcel
post. You should worry"

Receivers for SeiaeI Stores

New York, Dec. 3O.-Two great de-
partment stores in New York, and one
in Boston; an express company, a
wholesale house and private banking
house run in connection with the de-
partment stores, all allied with, and
controlled by the Seigel Stores cor
poration, of which Henry Seigel of
this city is directing head, and presi.
dent, were placed in the hands of re-
ceivers today through a suit instituted
by the holding company in the federal
courts.
None of the concerns, according to
statements of counsel, is insolvent, and
the action was taken to conserve
their good will; to rehabilitate and re.
organize them. Curtailment of bank
credit made receivership imperative.

Seattle Cares for Unemployed

Seattle, Dec. 3O.-It is estimated
that there are 10000 unemployed men
in Seattle, a number larger than in
any previous winter, but there has
been no disorder and only more than
the usual amount of petty thieving.
Most of the men have money. For ex-
ample thousands of loggers and fish
ermen came here after being paid off,
and have considerable money.
Five hundred men are being fed at
the Hobes union lodging house at a
total expense of $40 a day. This
achievement is the result of the men
organizing themselves, with their own
commissary. First of all they ex-
PEELED all professional tramps, beg
gars, thieves and drunkards. Then a
system of collecting left over food
from hotels and restaurants was
adopted. This good food supports the
men, with a fund contributed by cit
liens who desire nothing said about
it. There is no disorder, no complain
ing.

Asked Pertinent Question

During a gabfest in the lobby Of a
Washington hotel the other evening
the conversation turned to large fam
lilies, which recalled to Congressman
Wills C. Hawley of Oregon a story
about little Willie.
Little Willie, he said, was only Z
years old, but he was the eldest of
quite a numerous bunch of brothers
and sisters. One day when he came
home from school the nurse called to
him.
"Come here, Willie," said she, with
the usual smile. "You have a new Sis
ter, and l want you to see her."
EYES," responded Willie, going into
the room and gazing at the small
face and great bundle of clothing.
What do you think of her, Willie? ?"
asked mamma, as the boy started to
turn away.
"Oh. l guess she's all right, man.
ma" vas the startling rejoinder of
Willie, "but do you really think we
needed herr"

HAULING IN THE DESERT.
One Motor TrL ok Did as Much Work In
a Da, as Fifty Mules.

Seven hundred thousand ton miles is
the total Of Il single hauling contract
performed by a feet Of motor trucks in
building an oil pipe line from the Mid
way oil fields in California to tidewa,
ter at san Pedro. Supplanting 500
mules. crossing forty miles desert
sand with practically every TO- climb
in- attitudes as high as $500 les.. run
mir. nine miles Of each trip on river
bottom these are a few of the diff
culties which We're overcome by the
motor fleet owned by a company that
contracted to haul $1,000 tons of ma
terial through the wilderness. Their
work is described in the Engineering
Magazine as follows:
The roads We're so soft and the OBJ
Grating conditions so difficult that low
err gears. were installed in all the trucks.
The gear ratio between the engine and
the real wheels vas about so per cent
lower than used for normal working
conditions. The average time for for
ty miles was only about eight miles an
hour, but when it is considered that
the great heat and the soft roads made
it impossible for the best Missouri
mules to haul more than 1.GOO pounds
to the animal. and these animals. haul.
ing 1000 pounds. travel only about one
and a half miles an hour sixteen miles
being a days work for ten mules haul
ing five tons. it will be seen that Il
motor truck hauling five tom and tray
cling eighty miles a day would do the
work of five ten-mule teams. In other
words, one motor truck did as much
work every day as fifty mules.
Eighty per II of the equipment
was on the road all the time. and 20
per cent was in the temporary garage
which vas built to maintain the trucks
on this job. These ten trucks did as
much work as 400 mules in continuous
service would do. or as much on an
average as 500 would do. because to
keep 400 in service requires Il st eek
Of 500 mules. Some are laid up for
one reason or other all the time.
1t was not an uncommon thing for
these trucks to lose traction on the
desert roads. The wheels would spin
in the sand and dig right down until
the axles rested or the ground. For
such emergencies the trucks carried
two five-inch pipes about fifteen feet
long, with the ends 1attened out and
bent owe The fat end of one of these
pipes was placed under the rear wheels
and between the dual tires. Another
scheme that was used to improve trac-
ton on the desert road was the drag
ging Of a ten foot railroad rail behind
a truck every other day. This filled up
ruts and kept the desert road in fairly
good condition.

Searchliuht ProjectiIes.

Some suggestive experiments have
been made on German warships with
lighted ~projectiles, which it is thought
may take the place Of the electric
searchlight. The %projectile, which is
filled with calcium carbide, is fired
from a cannon, and since it is lighter
than water. after striking. it comes to
the surface. During its immersion wa
ter is automatically admitted and pro-
duces acetylene gas. which burns with
an illumination equal to that Of 5000
candles The placing of a few Of these
around a distant enemy would certain
~ put him ut very serious disadvan-
tage.

Refuse to Pay Income Tax

New York, Dec. 30.-Militancy is
not involved in the appeal issued by
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw to suffrag-
lists to refuse to pay any income taxes
until they are given the right to vote.
Mrs. Shaw asserted last night that
she advocated only a passive resist
ance to the governments agents.
DR.. Shaw said she would refuse to
make returns to her tax assessor and
IL fined by a court would refuse to
pay the fine. If sent to jail she will
not start a hunger strike, she said,
adding:

of this country to have taxation with.

them to adopt a course of passive re-
sistance like the Quakers instead of

TAKING STOCK

The end of the year e es the mer-
chants taking stock of their business
and preparing for the new activities
of a coming year. They do so in or
der to know how they stand and
where they are, what mistakes they
have made and how to write "Suc-
cess over 1914.
Business and the men of affairs are
not the only human that
profit from or require an annual
stock-taking. Ones personal life
needs occasional inventories. 1t is
good advice that was bestowed by
some English poet on his own soul.
Dare to become acquainted with your
self, tumble the stuff in ones treas
ure box of self up and down and take
an inventory of what there you find.
The advice given some 200 years
ago or more was never timelier than
today. We of the twentieth century
are so afraid of introspectiOn that we
neglect it and overdo the look away
from ourselves on the world and u
fellows. The personal loss thus in
Cured tends to make Jul inner and
real lives less rich and strong than
they normally might and should be.
1t will do none of us any harm to
look the parting year and ourselves
boldly in the face and ask some frank
questions. Are we better and strong
er and wiser men on December 31st
than we were on January LIST? Is
the world sweeter and further along
toward justice and joy because of any
contribution we have made to social
welfare?
II we can honestly answer such
queries in the affirmative, then 1913
has been a year of success and life
has been worth living. II as sincere
inquirers we have to deny or doubt
that we can render such a reply, then
the year has scored a failure and the
worth of our living is open to ques-
ton.
But whether the answer be mo" or
"Yes," we have no right to despair or
to boast. The rotten past and the
successful past alike are both behind.
The purpose of stock.taking is prac-
tically that of clearing the decks for
action and making ready to go ahead.
We live in the present. If we look
back it is for the sake of the future.
Tomorrow, n of the inspirations and
assurances of life, dawns before u.s.

Hotel For Poor People

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Chicago's bread
line will be abolished with the New
Year. A hotel where real beds can
be had for five cents a night and where
meals will be furnished at from one

bread line on January J..

BUMPER CROP YEAR
Consumer May Not Benefit From
Increased Food Supply

Washington. Dec. 30.-Ten billion
dollars worth of products, five million
dollars In cash income-a bumper
year IN spite of droughts and other
setoacks-ls the 1913 record of six
million American farms.
The most successful year of hus.
bandry in the United States brought
forth s6.100. 00O. 900 worth of crops. of
which s2,sS6. 200, 900 was represented
by cereals alone and $3.50. 900. 900
worth OF animals sold and slaughtered
and animal products. The value of the
1918 crop is twice as big as that of
1899: more than a billion dollars over
1908 and substantially greater than
1912.
But despite a record year of CROP
value-although the record of produc-
ton has fallen-and the fact that the
number OF farms has increased II per
cent since 1910 until there are elect
ed to be 6,000,0 900 farms in the coun-
try. the department in a discussion of
the subject, does not take the view
that a lower cost of living will follow
as a consequence.
However desirable increased pro-
duction on farms may appear to be
from the consumers standpoint, it
does o follow that such increased
production would result in any increase
in the cash income per farm or per
capita of farm population, or that
prices paid by consumers would be
any lower" says the report. Had the
total production in 1913 equalled or
exceeded the 1912 production, it seems
probable that the cash income per
farm would not have been greater and
might have been less than in 1912:
that it is exteremly doubtful whether
the cost to the consumer would have
been any less because retail prices
are promptly raised on a prospect Of
interpretation, but are very slow
to decline if there is over-production."

net profit of $1,762.094. There is no
competing line, but no attempt is
made to charge all that the traffic
will bear.
Wild dogs almost as numerous as
rabbits and doing considerable more
damage, cause the farmers and the
government of New South Wales,
Australia, to erect a dog-proof wire
fence along the boundary between
New South Wales and South Austria

The estimated cost for completing
the Panama canal is about S325,OOO,-
900. 1t will be about 411a miles in
length from shore to shore and will
range in width from about 300 to
about 1000 feet. It will have a min
imum depth of Al feet. 1t will take
i. ship of medium size about ten
hours to pass through the length of
the canal.
The largest tillable farm in the
United States is at Tarkio, Mo-, and
contains $4,000 acres. The land alone
is estimated to be worth almost 3d.
600, 900. Last year the farm had IN
der cultivation $4,000 acres in corn,
5000 each in wheat, and oats, 1900,
in alfalfa. The profit on the entire
farm for n year recently was $780,
900. A force of expert bookkeepers
is employed to keep the accounts of
the farm.

Remedy For Anaemia.

In anaemic disease marked BY a great
increase of white blood corpuscles ex.
perimenters have been trying small
doses of benzine. A great decrease in
white corpuscles and increase in the
red has followed, and the treatment
seems to give promise Of replacing that
by radium. In n cast the white cor

seven weeks; in another case from 49,
