claimed, There's something going on

| Hurrying to stairway which led to
the steerage quarters, the two cabin
passengers descended and found the
Steerage deck a scene of strife and
confusion. A number of Irish immi-
grants had seized and were holding
against the vigorous attacks of a crowd
of Germans a desirable part of the
steerage deck. Greatly outnumbered,
the Irishmen were struggling like de-
mons and yelling like Mohawk Indians,
while their opponents were doggedly
seeking to gain the coveted position,
for, as one Of the bystanders explained
to Townley, the Germans had been
first in possession, but the Irish, anx-
ious for a little excitement, had sud
denly charged them with rush. Be-
fore the astonished Teutons knew ex-
actly what was happening they had
been driven off by the furious Irish
like chaff before the wind. but they
soon rallied their forces and returned
to the attack. The contest was good

Here Is a realistic description
of American life, which teaches
the lesson that the right will ale
ways prevail when peoples con-
sciences are aroused. .a
In a middle west city a young
Englishmon, lately arrived from
his native land, Joins In the
movement to stamp ont corrup-
ton and immortality. He be-
comes interested in a girl whose
father is the brains of a dfshon-
est political combination, and
naturally some very interesting
complications develop.
A visit by Billy Sunday the
noted evangelist to the city
causes a great sensation, and the
story of what he accomplishes Is
typical of his operations else
where.
This is story that will in
crease civic pride and ctptc de-
cency and will thrill every read
er. HIiterrHy throbs with action,
and the characters are depicted

Another notable feature of the
story is that it attacks hypocrisy

shows that truth and sincerity
are winning factors TOR the man
who strives for a successful
career.

Two young men were standing on the

on the crowded steerage as one of them

speaker was evidently young Ameri-

Consumer Pays Three
Times What Farmer
Gets for His Wheat

The wheat in the hands of the
American farmers it to be seiz-
ed by the Government to depress
bread prices? That is practically
what an embargo on it's exporta-
ton would mean. Before taking
SO unprecedented a step, even
when suggested by Mr. George
w. Perkins and Mayor Mitchell OF
New York, it will be wise for the
Government to stop, look, and
listen. The farmers, as this is
written, receive at their railway
stations from $1.40 upward for
their wheat. In Chicago May
wheat has sold at $1.41 Ia after
touching a point almost twenty
cents higher. This should be
considered by those who fix their
eyes on the price of bread only.
We have just weighed a pound"
loaf bought at the corner grocery.
1t weighed three-quarters of a
pound in its sanitary wrapper.
How much are people of the
cities paying for the bread in a
bushel of wheat at this rate?
Good milling will convert from
70 to 70 per cent of the wheat
into our-and we have good
milIers in the United States. A
bushel will yield about forty-four
pounds of flour. Seven pounds
Of flour, according to the require
ments of the best bakeries, must
yield nine pounds of bread, or
fifty-seven pounds of bread to
the bushel of wheat. This means
seventy-six loaves of the size now
sold in our neighborhood. Mayor
Mitchell was justly concerned, for
in New York City the loaf sold
for some days at six cents. The
city's poor were, therefore, pay
ing $4.56 for the flour in a bushel
of wheat! When the by-products
are taken into account, the ulti-
mate consumers are paying more
than three times for their wheat
what the farmer gets. If the
Government will attend to the
grocers, the bakers, the miller,
the railways, the elevator men,
the Board of Trade, and all the
others who are getting more than
49, 90 out of wheat, and then
stand before the farmer with
proof that the pound loaf cannot
be sold for five cents, the farmer
will take his medicine. And not
until then. For until the Govern
ment can do this, it cannot come
with clean hands before the man
who produced the wheat in the
sweat of his brow. The best
solution of whatever wheat
scarcity there may exist is to let
alone the law of supply and de-
mand send up the price of wheat.
Under such conditions the farmer
will SOW in wheat every available
acre everywhere, fertilize it, care
Tor it, garner it in, and place it
IN the market. From Golfers.

GOOD ROADS

Good Roads" The term that
is now heard so often that it has
become the slogan of thousands
of enthusiasts.
Good roads are medium OF
distribution in more respects
than one. They facilitate the
farmer in getting rid of the fruits
of his toll. They assist the tourist
in getting rid of his money there.
by keeping in circulation two i'm
portant commodities that would
otherwise be noticeably longest
ed.
The far-seeing farmer talks
good roads, makes good roads
and helps pay for them. The
near-sighted farmer condemns
them and advises that the "city
Teller" with his automobile pay
for them for he alone is benefited.
How many farmers throughout
the country take into consider
alton in figuring the cost of pro-
duction, the expense of hauling
to market? Sad to say they are
few and far between. This same
cost of hauling, however, is one
of the main features to be con-
sidered.
The United States Department
of Agriculture takes up the cost
of hauling in it's Farmers
Bulletin" issued April %, 1915,
No. 672 (copy may be had on APP
plication to Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. CO. This
bulletin shows that the average
distance to market for hauls of
farm products is six and one-half
miles; that the number of round
trips per day average 81; that
the average wagon load of cotton
is 1900 lbs, and of wheat 1900
lbs. Allowing a 10 per cent in
crease over cost for the year
1906 due to advances in wages,
feed and horses, it costs $500
per day to haul wheat with one
wagon, corn $3.50 and cotton
$40. With cotton at 10c per
pound, per cent of the amount
received by the producer is con-
sumed by the cost of hauling,
with wheat at $1.20, 3 IL per
cent is consumed and with corn
at soc approximately, S per cent
is consumed by the cost of haul
ing.
It has been estimated that
roads made of brick, concrete,
stone, macadam or other similar
substances increase the hauling
capacity Of a team of horses for
the average haul of 6 IL miles in
the following manner: three trips
instead of two and twice the
capacity per load, giving three
times as much produce hauled
with the same amount OF time
and energy. These figures should
open the eyes of the farmer to
the advantage of good roads.
Good roads are a business propo-
sition with the producer while
they are usually more or less Of I,
a Measure issue with city users.
Farmers sometimes oppose
good roads because of the levy
of special assessments; they fail
however to consider that the
lessened cost Of hauling will more
than pay these assessments as
they come due.
There is another feature that
they overlook and that is the in
crease in value of their farms
because of the putting in OF the
.oad. 1t is we'll known that
arm property in a community
having first class roads brings a
irst class figure on sale.
Farming on a business basis is
becoming the thing. The old
lip-shod methods are disappear
ng. Time is being reckoned as

it was impossible to humanely
treat the convicts by caglng them

t. would be to have five hundred
convicts quartered in COM
