loaded up with liquor and lay down
for nap. a practical joker applied
coat of paint to the wooden leg and
then sprinkled handful of horse
hair over it. making it appear hair
had grown on the artificial leg.
When Edwards awoke somebody
told him James was responsible for
the trick A few minutes later Ed
wards met James, who has a glass
eye, ami calmly unstrapping the
wooden prop struck James over the
head inflicting a severe cash.
James, knowing he had done moth
ing to provoke the assault, snatched
out his glass eye and hurled 1t at
Edwards, cutting a deep cash in his
temple.

MORE FARMING
To GUT D WN
COST Of LIVING
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
Urges the Cultivation of Vast
Areas of Unimproved Land.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-"With a
population of less than $4,000 900, liv-
ing on more than 100000 square
miles, it is unreasonable to speak as
if our territory had been much more
than pioneered"
With this encouragement David r.
Houston, Secretary of Agriculture,
urges greater activity in the cultiva-
ton of untouched land as a means
for reduction in the high cost of
living. He says that only in a few
sections reasonably full returns have
been reached. Continuing, he says:
According to the best statistics
available, it appears that the total
arabic land in the Union is approx
mately 935,000,000 acres; that only
about 400,000,000 of this is included
in farmland, improved; that 100, 000,-
600 is unimproved and not included
in farms; and the remainder is I'M
improved land included in farms.
Too Easy to Live.
We are suffering the penalty of
too great ease of making a living"
Free distribution of seeds by Con-
gressmen should be discontinued. the
Secretary recommends, He would
conduct in its stead a constructive
work in securing and distributing new
seeds and plants.
On the good roads proposition the
Secretary says:
Good roads are prerequisite for
better marketing, for better schools
and for more comfortable rural liv-
ing. Better sanitation and hygiene in
the home, in the school and in the
community are just as vital for the
rural community as for the urban"
TO gain information to enable the
department better to serve rural
women, the Secretary has addressed
letters of inquiry to the women of
$4,000 selected farms covering every
county.
Domestic Help Needed.
THE overwork of women and chill
dren and difficulty of securing domes-
tic help are mentioned by a number
of the writer's. The department be-
lieves that intelligent help to wom-
en- in matters of home management
will contribute directly to the agri-
cultural success of the farm.
1T purposes, therefore. to ask Con-
gresS for means and authority to
make more complete studies of do
nestle conditions on the farm. to ex-
pertinent with labor saving devices
and methods, and to study completely
the question of practical sanitation
and hygiene protection for the farm
family.
