STRATEGIC RAILWAYS.

Strategic railways seem to rank
with armaments as a cause Of inter
national suspicion. 1t has been said
that Germany was less alarmed by
the increase of the Russian army than
by the plans for new railways which
would permit a more rapid concen-
tration of troops and war material.
On the other hand, it is urged that
premeditation in the attack upon Bel
GUM is shown by the construction Of
strategic railways along the Belgian
border. This is denied by the Stats
Zeitung of New York, which says that
the railways in that region are no
more than are needed for the great
and growing commerce between Bel
gium and Germany. Obviously the
denser the population and the great
er the traffic, the less is the need for
purely strategic railways, or to in
vert the statement, the greater is the
possibility of making strategic rail-
ways pay. This whole region has
great possibilities for railroad devel-
opment, being an outlet for the COM
merce of much of Germany as well
as of Belgium; the suspicious which
have for years past been aroused
have been due not so much to the
building Of railways as to the con-
struction of sidings and elaborate
platforms at places where no COM
mercial need appeared, but where
they would be very useful for the
handling Of munitions Of war. The
map reveals little, but an expert rail-
roader on the spot could no doubt de-
eide quickly whether a given con-
struction was commercially warrant
ed or designed for the use Of an army
'or invasion.--Sprinfgeld Republican.

MATCH FOR 4 HORSETRADER.

~ saw mighty smart young girl
sting o horsetrader and throw his doc
tored horse back on him before every
one. She examined the horse closely
about the ears for shot and smeit Of
the hoofs for turpentine. If horse
is lame through sort feet, things can
be temporarily fixed by heating tur-
pent;ne to the boiling point and pour
ing it over the hoofs. For that mat
ter size went after that horse for all
the tricks known. You see, her dad
was horseman. She took the eyes
for blindness. carted the horse to the
sun to see him blink, and examined
his eyebrows to see If they were tri-
angular or wrinkled. Evidently she
knew the trick of clearing a blind eye
by beladonna or blood droot. Then she
came to the nose and laughed out
when she noticed the nostrils had
been slit a little in the thin part.
Turning to the boy, she said: "Giye
him a drink and run him around and
then we can see what this horse has
got. When he came back ! noticed
signs of heaves and sure enough that
was what the horse had to high
degree. Every body gave the dealer
the laugh TO think that a girl could
beat Farm and Fireside.

POLICE IN DESPERATE
FIGHT WITH ROBBERS

DENVER, Nov. 2S.--A daring rob
berry was pulled off within 100 feet
of the city hall few days ago. The
police arrived in time to prevent sew
eral men who had broken into drug
store from making getaway. The
robbers were subdued after a hard
struggle in the presence of crowd of
several score attracted by the battle.
The patrol wagon arrived and the
men were being thrust into it when a
young woman dropped on her knees
on the sidewalk and besought the
officers not to take her father away
to Jail. But the police were immova-
BILE and the patrol wagon started up
and the moving picture operator
stopped turning the crank on his cam
era.
It was all done true to life and
several noble Denver policemen viii
have the pleasure of seeing themselves
in action on the screen.

him: "Why, how dare you? Don't

| myself was held up for five days
in town on the corner of the Aisnc
battlefield. A very cross colonel said
to me:
"You have no right here. How did
you dare to come? It's against the
rules. You'll have to promise me that
you won't leave this place until ]
tell you to CO."
And for five days I was forced to
stay right there with nothing but a
comfortable hotel to live in and moth
ing to eat but three meals day and
nothing to look at but the movements
of tens of thousands of soldiers with
all the Incidents of war. A couple
of very cross English captains used
to growl at me daily:
Seeing anything interesting"
The colonel himself used to say,
now and then:
"Too lad to keep you here, sup
pose, but you broke the rules. You
have no right here. You fellows have
got to be punished in one way or
another"
1t was terrible, but nearly every
other American newspaper man over
here has had experiences just as aw-
full.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2s.-
Tomorrow il tuberculosis day. This
is the day set by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis to began a weeks
campaign against the disease. Presi-
dent Wilson and many governors have
endorsed the movement.
The enthusiasm which President
Wilson showed for the work Of the
association in arousinR public septi-
ment to the dangers Of the disease
is to be used by many anti-tubercu-
losis workers in various parts Of the
country.
II sincerely hope" said the presi-
dent, "that November 20, the day
which you have designated a. tubsr-
culosis day, will result in awakening
the people Of the United States still
further, not only to the necessity, but
to the perfect feasibility of arresting

GEORGIA GIRL IN
CANNING CONTEST

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an account of Miss
Clyde Sullivan of Lowndes county,
Georgia, who won the championship
of the United States in the girls can
ming club work. On of tenth of an
acre Miss Sullivan grew over 5000
pounds of tomatoes. Following is an
extract from the record of her
achievement which is furnished by C.
A. Whittle Of the Georgia Agricul-
tural college:
"The best work of the Girls Can
ming club of the United States for
the year 1918 was made by Miss Sui
livan, whose net profit from q tenth
acre patch was S132.90. At this rate
she would have netted 81 ,329.90 from
a whole acre. She grew the tomatoes,
canned them, and sold them in pursu-
ance of the rules of the Girls Can
ming club, as laid down by the bureau
Of plant industry of the United States
department of agriculture.
From the tenth-acre Miss Sullivan
gathered 5,354 pounds of tomatoes.
These were put into 2,466 cans and
in the making of 60 pounds of cat
sup.
Miss Elizabeth Holt, state agent
in charge of the canning club work
in Georgia, tells in part as follows
what the purpose of the plan is:
at is our plan to develop the gar
dening and cooking work year by year
until finally each girl shall be able to
produce all the vegetables in their
proper season and according to the
best methods, and to plan and pre-
pare the dietary in an economic,
wholesome, and attractive fashion
throughout the entire year; to so train
her in all the duties of homc-malSing
that she shall be able to perform
them with consideration for santa
tion and economy of time and effort;
to furnish her with list and prices
Of desirable household conveniences
that she may know how best to use
the money profit of her work year by
year"

BIG SUGAR BEET YIELD
IN BOULDER COUNTY
United Press.

United Press.
BOULDER, Colo, Nov. 28.-A net
profit of $7,266 for 109 acres is the
record made this season by Louis
Bier, a farmer residing nearly Ber-
thoud. Bier's sugar beet crop yielded
nineteen and two-thirds tons an acre.
The beets sold at the sugar factory
for $5.95 ton, the gross amount
Bier received for the beets being
$13,932. Cost of production brought
this figure to a net profit Of 1926.
Sheriff Sanford Buster of Boulder
county, also has had an exceptional
yield of sugar beets on farm he own
near Hygiene. Seventeen acres yield
ed an average of 15 tons each, or n
total of 1923 tons. The percentage
of sugar in the beets was high and
they sold at the factory for 1920 a
ton. The gross returns were S2,100
or about 1923 an acre. Buster es-
timated the cost of production at about
$45 an acre.

THE PURPLE CROSS.

The Red Cross, emblem of the or
gamralion which ministers TO wound
Ell humans on the battlefield. now has
a psotJtyDe in the Purple Cross. The
Purple Cross society has been organ
lied 20 care for wounded animals. I'm
willing participants though they are,
the horse and the dog suffer more
heavily On The battlefield and in the
crmpaipns than the human combat
ants. Justice requires that wounded
animals should be attended to, put
out of their agonies where mortally
hurt or cared for where the injuries
are curable. The society is of Eng
lish origin, and is in active operation
in Europe where the Purple Cross is
flying over field hospital for stricken
horses and dogs.
The work of this society has its
practical as well as its humanitarian
side. If wounded horse is cared for,
he may recover quickly, and again be
ready for service. If he is neglected
he bc comes useless and the army
which has lost it's horses is badly
crippled. Out of six hundred and
sixty-five thousand horses, donkcys
and mules used by the British army
in the Boer war, only two hundred
and fifty thousand survived. The or
ganiza;ion of the Purple Cross So
ciety shows that the lesson has not
been lost.-The American Boy.

OIL INDICATIONS AT
MONTROSE WORTHLESS
United Press

United Press
MoNTROSE, Colo, Nov. 2S.-Es-
Gaping gas from the Gunnison river
a mile above Austin and supposed
scum of oil on pools of water in the
vicinity have for many years attract
ed tie attention of persons in the vi
cinity and led many to think possibly
q pool of oil existed beneath the sur
face. Recently M. r. Campbell, q
geologist of the United States geologi-
cal survey, examined the region for
the purpose Of determining whether
the surface indications and the geo.
logical conditions would warrant test
ing for oil wells. Campbell found
that the gas which escapes in consid-
erable volume IL non-inflammable and
therefore is not natural gas" as
that term is generally Understood;
that is, he discovered that 1t Is not
derived from petroleum. He also
found that the iiridescent scum which
forms on pools Of water near the
bridge is not oil but iron and is,
therefore, no indication of petroleum.
AS he found no surface indications Of
oil and no geological structure IA
vorable to its retention, he concludes
that it is highly improbable that oil
will ever be found in the vicinity Of
Austin.

Sporting Review
by Hal Sheridan

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-There is q
possibility that the next Olympic
games will be held in America. There
has been no change in the decision
to hold the games in Berlin in 1915,
but there are number Of reasons,
and good ones that might influence
the international committee to decide
on change.
The first and biggest reason is that
Berlin, even should the war be over,
would not feel like entertaining such
a gala occasion, with thousands
throughout Germany still in mourn
ing for the country's losses. Then,
too, it would be embarrassing to say
the least for athletes from defeated
allied countries to go into Berlin to
compete, If Germany is beaten in the
war, it would be embarrassing to re-
ceive athletes from victorious coun-
tries. OF course, If the war is not
over, there wouldn't be a chance for
the Berlin games, and it looks now
like the European nations will con-
tinue tearing at each others throats
for another twelvemonth.
Executing Denmark or Sweden or
Italy there isn't another country that
could handle the games. Denmark
had them the last time. Sweden and
Italy might be too near belligerent
territory for comfort. Ergo, as Doc.
Munyon might essay to remark, there
is hope.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-With
President Wilson, plenty of gold lace,
full dress uniforms and all the trap
pings of splendid military and naval
social function, the annual football
game between the Army and Navy
began on Franklin field this after
noon.
The gray uniforms of the West
Pointers and the blue of the Annapolis
men furnished the background for the
more elaborate dress of the regular
army officers and foreign dignitaries.
The game itself will have no effect
in determining the eastern champion

division class this season. To the two
schools rooters, however, this will be
discounted by the rivalry between
them and good game is expected.
