EVERYBODY FOR WhITTLEsE
Dissatisfaction With the Present In
iran Commissioner.

Everybody is for Col. Charles W..
Whittlesey Of Fargo, Democratic nom
lnee for insurance commissioner, on
account OF the state wide dissatisfac-
ton with the present commissioner,
Mr.. Taylor.
The life and fire insurance mon OF
the state have been heard to express
themselves quite forcibly over Mr..
Taylor's administration Of his Office
and have voiced the opinion that he
has displayed great partially in Ger.
tain instances and that he has done
the public an injustice by not giving
the people a state actuary, which the
law provides for his office.
For this reason a tremendous senti'
ment has been stirred up in all quar-
ters of the state in favor of Colonel
Whittlesey. He has been in the pub
lie eye for several years and needs no
special introduction to the people. 4
member of Governor Burke's staff, he
10 q strong supported of President
Wilson, the national administration
and the state ticket. Everybody
should vote for Whittlesey who wants
q square deal in the insurance depart
ment.

Working in litter Is just as
good for hens in summer as it is
in winter. They are often inclin-
ed to sit around and let their

in the litter is the price Of good

serious engineering problems. includ-
ing a refuge harbor and an inner har-
Dor, had to be solved. The difficulties
were overcome and Salina Cruz was
made hospitable to traffic.
When the road was completed its
total length was q little under two
hundred miles. The birds flight from
ocean to ocean across Tehuantepec Is
about one hundred and twenty-five
miles.
British interests here, as elsewhere
in Mexico, are vitality concerned In the
outcome. 1t Is not presumed that
Lord Cowdrey and his associates have
transferred any Of the obligations.
They also secured valuable oil conces-
sions on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
and are understood to have large hold
ings of lands. The connection of Sir
Lionel Garden, the British minister.
with a land company in lower Mexico
was explained In the news dispatches
from the City of Mexico some time
ago.
At one time some American money
was invested In the railway line
known as the Pan-American, which
branches OF from the Tehuantepec
railway at San Geronimo and runs
down to the border Of Guatemala The
money was In the bonds which were
turned over to the American con,
tractors as the different sections wert
completed. These bonds were guaran
teed by the Mexican government
Later the government took over the
railway and made 1t part Of the Mexi
can system.
Two American capitalists who had
held official positions in Washington
and In Mexico were the intermedi
aries. They were supposed to have
made a good deal Of money by the
transaction.
In view of later developments this
may be doubted. They got control OF
the international bridge across the
Suchiate river to Guatemala But
since President Cabrera of Guate
mala was in no hurry to join up the
Guatemalan lines with the bridge, the
expected profits from the tolls or
traffic across the river did not mate

the future and give shadowy oasis
to the humor of a separatist move
ment The cause is economic and re-
lates to the question of transportation
The Panama canal may put the
costly Tehuantepec railway practically
out of business and render almost
valueless the expensive port works at
Salina Cruz, on the Pacific, and Coat
zacoalcos. or Port Mexico. on the At
lantic. II is a possibility only and not
anything more, but it is disquieting.
That the canal will naturally reduce
the trans-Tehuantepec traffic is a GER
tainty.
Tehuantepec was a rival OF Panama
almost from the time of Cortez. In
the middle Of the last century, when
Americans built the railway across
the isthmus of Panama, another group
OF Americans obtained concessions
from the Mexican government for a
line across the lsthmus of Tehuante-
pee. Important explorations were
made for the American navy depart
ment under the direction of Admiral
Shufeldt, and for time the question
was whether a canal or a railway was
the more feasible. Ultimately the con-
cession was annulled.
Along in the eighties some rails
were laid. both from the Atlantic and
the Pacific side, and few years later

dent Diaz had pushed through various
railway enterprises in central and
northern Mexico he turned to Tehuan-
tepec and put the government back
Of that project. A new contract was
made with the firm of Sir Weetman
Pearson, the present Lord Cowdrey,
who had successfully carried through
the drainage project for the city of
Mexico. Under the terms of the Pear
son contract a working capital of
81 ,0OO, 900 was provided, and the gov
eminent went into partnership with
the Pearson firm on conditions which
would make 1t the sole owner OF the
line and the terminals in fifty-one
years.
A large element In the total cost,
which is said to have been approx
mately s35.000,O00, was for the har-
Dor works at Salina Cruz and Coatza-
coalcos. 1t was realized that without
good harbor facilities interoceanic
traffic could not be obtained.

open roadstead. with the northeast

dairy-bred bull will be much more

this may not yet be proved conclu-
sively, there is enough evidence to JUS

requirement that the bull to be put

EAT ONLY SUN-KISSED FOODS

one should eat only sun-kissed foods.
BY sun-kissed they means all fruits
and vegetables that grove above

perfection the better effect they will
have upon the person who consumes
them.

Care of the Calf.

The feeding of the calf takes very
important place in the development OF
good cows. She should be born Of
good vigorous parents, in a clean. dry
stall We leave the calf with its
mother a day or two, then feed care
fully, being careful not to over feed.
All the milk Is weighed out to the
calf. so we can feed an even quantity
as the calf demands. AS the calf gets
to eating grain food, we gradually
change to skim milk and feed about
all the grain and good bright hay and
silage the calf will eat up clean.
