The best excelsior is made from
Eastwood, or linden. Aspen and

The King of England has given
permission to have part of the

William Penn, in his Character
of Rights, provided that for every
five acres of forest cleared one
acre should be left in woods,
Foresters today maintain that on
an average one-fifth OF every farm
should be in timber.
Recent experiments indicate
that round timbers of all the pines

can be readily treated with pre-.
servatives, but that the frs, hem.

Big Anti-HOg Cholera Meeting
at Culver.s Store.

Twenty-Five farmers, and fourteen
members of the Commercial Club,
met Monday night to consider the
proposition from the Agriculture
College to stamp out hog cholera in
Bates county. If enough farmers
and hog raisers will petition the COL
lege, they will send a man into the
county to form Anti-Hog Cholera
Clubs, and keep a man here long
enough to show the farmers how to
work the plan out without any ex-
pense to any one as the means to be
employed by the hog raiser are so
simple and free from expense. 1t
was decided to circulate the petitions,
and if sufficient number can be
secured, we would ask the College to
send the man. The "a townships
were divided up among certain men,
who were present at the meeting,
to go into the townships and find
men who will circulate the petitions
at once as time presses. All arrange
ments have been made to organize
Cass county, beginning Nov. LIST and
they are ready to come into this
county Nov. Is, provided we can pet
ready for them. Mr.. Farmer, some
man or men in your township has
these petitions, who will make an
effort to see you. In the meantime
# you are in Butler or Adrian, call on
any of the banks or A. H. Culver,
who has the blanks. After the
county is organized, and the man
rom the college finishes his work,
which took seven months. in johnson
county, they assign a man to look
lfter every two or three counties.
The proof is that the methods en-
'loyed by the college has almost
tamped the disease out of johnson
ounty. The plan is so simple and
ensible and inexpensive that it should
ppeal to every hog raiser. Let's

Read this before you vote!

The 9th proposition on your ballot, next
Tuesday, will ask you to vote for or against
law to compel the railroads of Missouri to
employ an extra, and wholly unnecessary,
trainman on every freight train of 40 cars or
over, and on every passenger train Of cars
or over.
Every fair minded voter is entitled to know
the facts, in order that he may vote intelli-
gently on this proposition.
The ostensible object of this law is to place an
extra guard around the lives of the trainmen.
The real object is to force the railroads to
employ about 500 extra, and wholly unnecess-
airy men.
How trains are now manned
AT present, local and through freight trains
are manned by an engineer, a fireman, a con-
ductor and two trainmen, or. brakemen, as
they are generally mis-named. One of these
so-called brakemen is usually stationed towards
the front OF the train-the other towards the
rear. In cases of unscheduled stops, one Of
these men goes forward, ahead of the train, to
to the rear for the same purpose. What would
third one do?
Trains are. controlled by air brakes
regardless of length
None of these brakemen applies brakes on
moving train. Every train is controlled by
air brakes, operated from both the engine and
the caboose, regardless of the length of the
train, or the number of cars.
On passenger trains, the air brakes can be
controlled from any car, and every car has a
signal cord direct to the engine. What possible
service could an extra trainman perform on a
passenger train?
Not needed to relay signals
It is claimed that an extra trainman on
freight train of over 40 cars is necessary to relay
signals to the engineer. Such is not the case.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1914-10-29
Fewer accidents on long trains

Supporters of the law would also have you
believe that many accidents are due to the
extra length of the trains, whereas, from air
statistics available, there have actually been
less accidents on trains of over 40 cars than
there have been on trains of less than 40.
While the railroads do not claim that long
trains are safer than short ones, the facts GER
tainly sustain the claim that they are equally
safe.
