ROBERTS JOKES
WITH DEMOCRATS

Silver-tongued orators in the house
of epresentatives-and there are .
considerable number Of them, says
the Washington Star, were trotting
around this morning and asking one
another this cryptic question:
"Is he kiddingf"
Eminent politicians whJ love their
work like an ESSENTIAL monologist,
but who do not mind having a little
affair with the Chautauqua circuit,
would catch one onother by the arm,
slip away in a quiet corner and whis-
per, affrightedly:
els he kiddings"
"He' is Representative Roberts,
OF Nevada, Republican, who intro
duced in the house resolution pro-
viding that the lower chamber be set !.
aside on Friday of each week for
Chautauqua orators, and that the
public be admitted at reasonable
prices-the fund thus gathered to be
used in aiding political campaigns. :.
Nobody approached Representative
Roberts for while, but finally the
commission fell to a bright young
man who is hopeful of going in the
circuit himself some day.
'Do you mean that resolutionfo
asked the interviewer.
Mr.. Roberts looked at him indig-
nantly. "Of course I mean it, he
replied. "Why shouldn't mean itf
Think Of the money that our greatest
statesmen could save on their lecture
tours if they had their hall rent
free.'
"But it would interfere with busi-
ness
"That is true,' replied Mr.. Rob-
erts, "and have that all figured out.
We win make up the time by elimin-
ating all-day arguments to the
proper name for Sixteenth street.
We win also cease to tell our
wearied colleagues how beautiful is
the farming life and how magnificent
is the farmer. We will not take .
week or two to prove that we should
have our mileage. We will not" !.
The other interrupted.
But the division of the moneyfv
"Ah," said Mr.. Roberts, thought
fully, "that is an important question
Personally / think that precedence
should be allowed cabinet members in
order of their poverty. I am the
friend of the underpaid statesman
who can never earn the millions
that he says Thomas Jefferson and
other great Democrats are entitled
to. That point, however, will have
to be threshed ont. -
ssShould there be advertisingf"
ssI am afraid,' said Mr.. Roberts,
"that that will necessary. You
see, some of our greatest orators do
not vary their bill. They stick to
what, in vaudeville, is termed sold
stuff
Now, when a baseball team comes
to town and a summer opera is
playing here, there will be fierce
competition. 1t will be bitter dis
appointment to a Chautauqua speaker
to address an audience consisting Of
two Populists and sleepy newspaper
man. Hence, obviously, there must
be advertising"
Would Republicans lecturef' was
asked.
"Oh, no, replied Representative
Roberts. "They would take some Of
the hardworking Democrats and 60
over to the house Office building and
do some hard work.
The interviewer came away To
him it was not perfectly clear wheth-
er the congressman was joking or
not. But he is in honor bound not
to tell.

While sleeping in the brush on the
bank of the Truckee river near Fern
ley, William Switzer, ex-convict from
Folsom, wanted for embezzlement,
was arrested by Tom O'Brien, Deputy
Sheriff of Lyon county.
The two men covered Switxer
with their guns, knowing him to be
armed. Switzer pulled a gun on Police
Lieutenant Nichols, at Reno, during
an attempt to arrest him few days
ago and a little later was identified
by Jack Vera as the man who held up
and robbed him of diamond ring
and $40 in money.
Switzer denies implication in the
robbery. The offense for which he
was arrested occurred some time ago
when he drove q team from Reno to
Auburn and eluded the officers.

SHARP ADVANCE IN
COST OF FARM IMPLEMENTS

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-ResuIts
of an inquiry which Representative
Charles H. Sloan, of Nebraska, has
been making into the price of farm
Mr. Sloan g statement shows that
there has been an advance of price to
the retailer during the twelve months
preceding June ! in farm wagons,
plcws. discs, harrows and grain drills,
and a tendency to advance in wind
mills, pumps and similar farm appli-
anees. The prices quoted are those
Of the International Harvester COM
pany based f. o. b. ears Chicago.
These quotations show there has been
La marked increase in the prices of
rakes, tedders and wagons.
The most important result of this
investigation, however, is the state
ment that binding twine has increas-
Ell in price. He shows that pure Ma
Mia twine has gone from nine and
three eights cents in 1912 to thirteen
and quarter cents in 1914, and
that Manila twine has gone from
eight and one-quarter cents to eleven
cents, and other brands from seven
and one-quarter cents to nine cents.
Mr.. Sloan makes this statement in
connection with an answer to Repre-
sentative Cullop (Dem.), of Indiana,
whom he charges with having icon
tradicted every market of the United
States in a statement he made on
the floor of the house, June 4, to the
effect that "wheat now is a better
price under Democratic times than it
was in 1912, under Republican rule" F"
Mr.. Sloan shows that there has been
an acreage decrease in the five prin-
cipal wheat markets of the United
States of eighteen cents a bushel, TAX
/ ing wheat prices this year and COM
pairing them with prices oA two years
ago. He says that these figures were
available when Mr.. Cullop made his
statement and that he (Cullop) had
no excuse in making his erroneous
statement and no object, apparently,
"except to deceive the farmers who
have been the most harshly used of
al the people of the United States in
the tariff readjustment of this con-
gress."

PIGS Is PIGS

Col. Peter Peterson loaded a car of
hogs last Friday morning and shipped
them to Sioux City. While there is
nothing particularly interesting about
a a of hogs being shipped out of the
country, we make mention of this load
because Mr.. Peterson raised the entire
bunch on his farm adjoining town on
the east and he still has sixty more
which he will finish for the spring
market. He began last spring with
twenty-five sows which produced one
hundred and fifty-ive pigs and out of
this bunch Of little fellows he lost
just eight. The old hogs were sold
a long time ago and in the car shipped
out Friday was one of the finest lot
of young hogs eve shipped out Of
Toronto. For the bunch and six or
seven which could not be crowded
into the car and which were sold at
home Pete received $1,305.17 which he
consideres his net profit from his herd
of little pigs, Is he sold their mothers
at a fair profit and the sixty he has
left on the farm will more than pay for
the feed the entire herd has eaten
during the past summer and fall. It
a lots of work to take care of a
big bunch Of pigs but when they are
put on the market a big check comes
back to make their owner happy

ANNUAL MEETING OF HOSPITAL
Continued from Page One)

would open for patients December 16.
which we did, receiving u first pa
tient and having our first operation
on that day. The number cared for
daily slowly increased till during the
summer especially July and August,
there was a crowded condition. We
lost in numbers of patients and also
financially because of an insufficient
number of private rooms, and one a
special nurse. The fall saw a decrease
but we believe this was largely due
to lack of illness. In Minneapolis, AS
bury Hospital reported the lowest
number in years. Since the holidays
the number has increased again. Dur
ing the twelve and a half months two
hundred fifty-eight patients were cared
for, one hundred sixty-two having sur
gical treatment, with a record of two
hundred operations performed. The
difference between the number of sur
gical patients and operations being &C
counted for by the fact that often two
or three operations are performed I'M
der one anaesthetic.
THE record of recovery OF u pa
tients is good. OF the surgical patients
not one died as the result Of the opera
ton or the cause for which the opera
ton was performed. One person, who
was counted unhopeful when entered,
did succumb from other use after
the operation.
From among our medical and acct
dent cases, we must report nine deaths
Here, again, an explanation of condi-
tons is not amiss. Since ours is the
only place for care in the community,
we have received patients whose con-
dition was hopeless, even moribund,
gladly keeping our doors always open
to the call of our physicians, believing
this to be our duty rather than attempt
to maintain a high record Of recovery.
The persons served have come from
thirty-seven towns in nine states. They
have been affiliated with eighteen
churches, besides non-church members.
Twenty-Five physicians and surgeons
have been in the hospital in some pro-
fessional capacity. Days nursing
given amounted to 1855 or 422 weeks.
OF these 296 days or AZ weeks were
free bed service. The average daily
number of patients was liz. Those
who were our guests free of expense,
in part or in full, included ministers,
members of ministers families, chill
dren, nurses, and students, belonging
to the following church denominations,
Presbyterian, Methodist, German
Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, Luth-
eran, and non-church.
1--WE have tried to keep in mind the
whole charge of the church to its
deaconesses that VI Single aim is to
minister to a suffering, sorrowing, and
sin-laden world" and again that as a
church hospital we are commanded
Ito give especial attention to the spirit

patients appreciate this spirit of ser
vice is the greatest reason for the con-
tinuance of the work. Where God
points the way, retaining and

Punta Gorda truckers. The reputation OF
this section is spreading abroad and COM
mission men and brokers are coming this
way to see what we have to offer. With
greater acreage in vegetables than has
ever before been planted. 1t is evident
that the time is near at hand when the
growers will be able to command cash
sales on the tracks before their produce
is moved. This is one Of the ends 1t is
eminently desirable to attain.
Another encouraging prospect is that
shipments from here win move by the
car load this season. The growers have
come together in an organization that
has for it's purpose the promotion Of the
car-lot plan. which has every, thing to
commend It. The commission and brok-
erage firms are also encouraging the

rice, which requires only one peck. 1t
would convince him that there is no bet
