The Strawpile
Tomato Seed Olive Oil.

We were quite sure, when the an
nouncement was first made that some
enterprising chaps over In Italy had
found way to extract oil from tomato
seeds. tina, we would get 1t in our olive
oil. 1t Is now recorded that the Ital-
ians are now conducting experiments
looking to the manufacture OF all edible
oil from the crude tomato seed OIL and
this oil, It is expected, will become a
cheap substitute for olive oil in the
preparation Of food" And this takes
all the Joy out Of the discovery Of a
new and promising industry.
The tomato seed oil industry was
successful In Italy from the first year.
and at the present time between 5000
and 5000 tons of wet tomato refuse
are worked out in the industry in this
way each year.-Bu1alo Express.

are now so far along that predictions
can be made with approximate ac-
curacy. and according to present esti-
mates. the country VIII produce be-
tween $4,000. 900 and 100000 barrels.
This will be more than twice the sup

WHERE THE COAST LEADS.

[Des Moines Tribunel
Much as has been done in Iowa in
the past year for better roads, Iowa has
still long ways to go to catch up with
the new and undeveloped state Of
Washington.
Thru trackless forests, where clear
ing the right of way of stumps has
cost more than the best road costs in
Iowa, miles of splendidly graded and
grayeled roads have been built.
Between Tacoma and Seattle. dis
lance Of some thirty odd miles. a paved
highway affords as comfortable travel
as the best paved street Of Des Moines.
In Washington there is comparative
ly little adjacent land to be benefited
by the roads. The country Is in the
main untouched. The roads are ave-
nues merely between the towns.
Under such circumstances network
of roads as we'll made and as passable
as the Hyperion club road, the best
gravel road in Iowa, testffes to an ag-
gressive and progressive good roads

THE TOP BUGGY.
[Councii Bluffs Nonpar.i.1

A young man-one who has barely
turned 40-remarked recently that IL
had been his privilege to see the advent
of the top buggy in Iowa, and II the
autos continue to increase In the state
and country. he should very soon see
The eclipse and practical departure OF
this vehicle from the state.
Thirty-seve years ago this man, as
child. lived on a farm with his pa
rents. When father went to town, some
seven miles distant, he usually figured
1t was a waste of time to go without a
load. The box Of the lumber wagon
was, accordingly, filled with wheat or
oats or possibly stove wood. II the
wife accompanied her husband she oc-
cupied place beside him on spring
seat. This mans earliest recollection
was of going to town in this manner.

-.le father of this man lived to ac-
cumulate considerable fortune. HIS
sons trained in habits Of thrift and
care, received their proportion Of the
property when 1t was divided and are
making good in what seem to some a
remarkable way.

Rural Delivery Reorganization.
The postmaster general is contem-
plating q thorough reorganization OF
the rural free delivery routes. accord
ing to a dispatch from Washington.
Az q step preliminary to this read
iustment he has recommended the pas
sage Of a bill by congress providing Tor
the use Of automobiles on the rural
routes in all states where the roads

vehicles. The present length Of the
standard rural free delivery route is
twenty-four miles. The postmaster
general believes that with the use OF
automobiles the length OF the routes
can be doubled without impairing the
EFFICIENCY Of the service. lie is also
of the opinion that in some instances
1t may be found desira BILE to have
routes fifty miles in length on .
straight line.
The bill which the postmaster gon-
eral desires enacted will authorizes .
yearly compensation of $500 for car
riers on automobile routes. Thus while
increasing the pay Of many carriers 1t
would enable the government TO dis
pense with the services Of many other
carriers. At present there are approxi-
mately $4,000 routes in tie United
States and II costs the government

1t would seem to be possible to effect
a material reduction in expense under
the plan proposed by the postmaster
general BY the use Of automobiles 1t
should be feasible to lengthen some OF
the routes and to consolidate others
which merely would be another way OF

Members Of the Master Butchers

Their suggestions for relieving high

The butcher himself is . potent fac
tor in creating high cost OF beef. He
ordinarily does not encourage his GUS

There are dozens Of every butchers
customers who when they order oeel
either get a rib roast of sirioin or
porterhouse steak. They simply wouio
not have cut of beef from the 1ofe-
quarter of a steer or a cow even though
II could be bought much cheaper than
the higher grade meat.
They want the best and the butcher
-poseibly he is not altogether to blame
for this condition-must give them
what they demand or his competitor
will
The butcher, however. should help to
encourage bigger consumption OF
cheaper cuts OF beef and that would aid
in some measure to equalize price con-
! ditions.
Tee. the butcher ought to bring down
his overhead charges and thus put
himself in position to sell at little
less margin over his wholesale cost.
The butcher is extravagant as
! shopkeeper and his customer Is more
SO. The latter demands delivery OF
every item. refusing to carry home
single package in most cases.
The butchers cost of operations is
necessarily high, because, he does not
encourage the customer to do bis own
delivering.
