SHORTAGE
OF Male Stenographers and
T%ypeWriters is Encouraged
by Government.
tsrlelAL 10 1n. 1.lrs.An,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. g.
A shortage of male typewriters and
stenographers in the government de-
partments has been encountered. In
a statement today the Civil Service
Commission declares that it has been
unable to obtain a sufficient number
of eligibles to meet the needs of the
service in the departments. The
commission announces that examina-
lions will be held each month until
December in the principal cities OF
each state, the first to be held August
20.
The bulletin makes the statement
that young men who are willing to
accept entrance salaries Of sS40 and
5000 per annum have excellent op-
portunities for appointment. While
the entrance salary Is small, promo
ton is reasonably rapid for those
who merit It.

SAL
Of Humpback Variety to Be
Transferred from Pacific
Coast to Maine.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. e.
One of the most interesting and
promising pieces of constructive
fishery work now in progress in the
Bureau of Fisheries, Department of
Commerce, is the introduction Of the
humpback salmon of the Pacific coast
into the littoral waters Of Maine.
h native salmon of the New Eng
land Gas has become very scarce,
and there is a noteworthy run only in
the Penobscot river, where the bu-
reau conducts extensive operations
addressed to this species. Owing to
unfavorable physical conditions
(dams. pollutions, removal of forests
at headwaters, etc., in most of the
streams formerly frequented by the
salmon, there is little or no probable
ity that this fish can ever be reestab-
lished. The %humpback salmon has
therefore been selected as a suitable
substitute. 1t lspawns near salt wat
er, and will find numerous favorable
streams in which the eggs will hatch
and the young remain until ready for
their short marine life. The average
weight attained is five pounds, but
examples weighing ten pounds are
sometimes taken in Alaska. When
the fish is fresh run from the sea, the
flesh is OF a rich red color, of deli
cious flavor, and a very satisfactory
substitute for the Atlantic salmon.
The Bureau has begun an annual
transfer of humpback eggs from the
west coast to the Maine hatcheries,
and Is now distributing, in the form
o. fingerlings, the fish resulting from
eggs brought across the continent last
year. The plants will aggregate
about seven and,a quarter millions,
and the waters stocked, which have
been specially selected for the pur-
pose. will include the following Maine
rivers: Penobscot, Androscoggin,
Pleasant, Damariscotta, .Dennys'
orland, Union, Georges, Medomak,
and st. Croix.
This work will be continued on a
large scale annually until the hump
back has been firmly established, and
q great boon will thus be conferred
on the fishing industry Of Maine. In

TO ELIMINATE MIDDLEMAN

Washington, Jan. II. - Senator
Borah of Idaho, perhaps the most
prominent of the near Progressive Re-
publicans, today introduced bill to
create national clearing house for
the grading and distribution of all
of the farm products of the country.
The bill eliminates the middleman
and placed the producer in immediate
touch with the retail market.
The clearing house would be under
the management Of a board Of fifteen
directors chosen by agricultural sub
divisions of the country for terms Of
five years. Their salary would BIO
$4,000 a year. The association would
draw it's real strength from county
associations. consisting Of not less
than fifty farmers each. The sys-
TEN would go into operation as soon
as 300 such county associations shall
have been formed. The expense OF
the association would be borna by
the federal government until it be-
comes sclf-supporting.
Vast Powers Given
The national association. which
would be- chartered. for nipety.nins
years, would have power to- enforce
upon its component associations IA
tional and state laws as Well as the
regulations Of the association. These
regulations would fix in detail pro-
visions for packing, purifying, grad
ing. shipping, selling and delivering
farm products. The county assocfAt
tons would be made by individual
contracts sole selling agents for the
surplus products Of the farms OF
their members.
To facilitate the work Of the central
body in distributing farm products.
the bill gives the board of directors
extraordinary powers. 1t could build.
lease or purchase mills, gins. COM
press machines, factories. pre-cooi-
ing plants, ice factories, cold storage
plants, printing presses, slaughter
houses, dryers, evaporators, offices.
telegraph and telephone lines, rail-
roads, wagon roads, automobiles and
airships.
| Bonds to Be Issued
| The association, with the consent OF
the federal government, will be au-
thorized to issue bonds 1t could
also create capital stock out of its
surplus earnings, and could lend mo-
ney to members of county associations.
The last provisions for the spend
ing of money, it is declared, would
conflict with the rural credits legisla-
ton soon to be brought before con-
gress. 1t Is understood, however,
that Mr.. Borah has not committed
himself in favor of the more extran-
eous sections of the bill. 1t is not
yet certain that he favors those pro-
visions in the bill that might tend
to build up vast agricultural mon-
opoly.

land which might be with advantage
farmed by desirable tenants willing to
pay q fair market rent are kept back
by owners. who either sit on the prop
erty in the hope of being eventually
able to hatch . higher price. or pre-
serve It for the purpose Of game or
ornament for reasons of social pres
tige or sheer sporting instinct The
extent Of this retention Of land IL con-

applications that flow In for every

and by the frequent abortive endeav-
ors by actual or would-be small farm.
ers to obtain at current market rate
new or additional land for agricultur-
al purposes" The evils Of this state
of affairs are manifest. Not only are
many persons thus deprived of the
employment which otherwise they
would be enjoying, but this swelling Of
the ranks Of the unemployed. some Of
whom remain in the country and some
go to the cities, tends to diminish
wages, and. so far a. farm products
are concerned, to increase prices.

The unnecessary burden which falls

of royalty on iron ore is 60 cents a

to landlords for mining royalties in
addition to ordinary leases or dead

What is the effect of this concen-

few?
Land Is the mother and labor the
father of wealth." distinguished
economist has written. Land concen-
trated in q few hands increases the
problem Of poverty. which Mr.. Horace
B. Samuel defines as the economic
discomfort occasioned to vast masses
of the population by the unequal dis
tribution Of wealth." The use Of the
land Is necessary for economic produc-
ton, whether agricultural or indus
trial. and for housing. whether in city
or country. The whole trend Of civili-
zation just now is away from agricul-
.ture and toward industrialism. In
England this tendency Is most marked.
Less than nine per cent of the popu-
lation Of England are now engaged in
agriculture. 100000 having abandoned
