Mdn, Business Man and
 Professional Man:
 You will be interested ir the following facts. They directly affect your daily life and your in- come, thereby affecting the food you are able to put on your table, and the kind of clothing and kind of schooling you are able to give to your chil dren.
 Tn the year 1907 which was prior to the dras- tic reduction in railroad rates and previous to the heavy increase in the cost of materials and SUD- plies and the marked advance in wages, the credit of American railroads was second to none and their securities were marketable at reasonable rates both at home and abroad. In 1907 the rail roads of this country purchased $55O 100000 worth of freight and passenger cars, locomotives and rails. Eighty per cent of this amount or $40, ,0O0OO0 went into the hands of the Ameri- can wage earners. Figuring on the basis of S700 per annual compensation, which is a conservative basis. the plants manufacturing this equipment and rail and selling the railroads employed 628,- GOO people thus providing living for 2,500,0O0 persons.
 In 1914 the railroads were able to purchase only $21s, ,ooo, 900 worth of cars locomotives and rails, and the plants turning them out able b employ eny 424,oo0 wage earners, thus pro- viding for less than 1000 OOO persons.
 Compare 1914 with 1907, when the railroads were receiving reasonable rates for their services Nineteen fourteen shows a decrease of S332, ,000,- 900 in purchases, s56,OoO less wage earners en- ployed in turning out the goods, and 1,500,000 less persons provided for by means of this work.
 This immense reduction in the volume of business materially affects all classes of business and labor, and principally affects the farming in terests, because it means that very large num- Der of people are without funds to purchase these products of the farm, which in good times they buy. It means that many of these unfortunate people must stint themselves and live on less than they require, and less than they have been accus- toned to in the past. Next to agriculture the railroad business is the greatest iN this country. Naturally marked depression in the railroad busi- ness is quickly felt in all other lines. The point the railroads desire to make is ths-that the prosperity of the country is linked with their prosperity. When railroads suffer the country suffers
 There is gainsayng the fact that every additional dollar put into the channels of trade in Arkansas is of value to every citizen of Arkansas Later in this series of articles the railroads will show the vast amount of money lost to Arkansas by enforced curtailment of railroad expenditures in Arkansas, and the railroads will show that their revenues have been cut too deep to give them chance to prosper.
 What do you think of this situation?
 We asking only for the same opportunity that is given to other classes of business We are asking for the restoration of passenger rate that is just, and we want the assistance of the men who live in Arkansas and use the railroads of

He was panting from the exertions he had made, and looked angry and disgusted. By this time Wilhelm II was busily turning over some papers In drawer at the other end of the apartment. Casting an indignant glance at his back, the prince went straight up to the precious yellow box, locked it. and restored the keys to his pocket. at the same time tueking the box under his arm Then, and not be- fore, he growled out to the absorbed kaiser

and usually possesses a dirty nose to wipe on the trousers of the feeder.
 The accompanying illustration tells how to feed the hogs without going into the lot or field. The trough is secured to the ground by means of strong stakes and is held at one end against the fence. A spout made of four boards extends from the end of the trough to the outside and is firm ly secured to the fence and trough
 The feed is poured through the spout and it gives such force to the flow that the far end of the trough is usually reached before it is stopped by the hogs. A paddle IS kept by the fence to force down the solid matter that tends to accumulate in the spout and to empty the water that stands. In the trough after rain.

In the first place the ordinary farmer is not a veterinarian in any sense; therefore, when he is uRfortu- nate enough to own horse that is subject to spells of sickness. he really does not know what to do, and if this same horse is an animal whose value ranges anywhere from $50 to $100 the owner is loath to send off for a regular veterinarian and pay him for his visit and prescription, consequently the horse in question is very apt to die.

 You are very good, NJ le Baron.' murmured the emperor, evidently re lieved by this declaration, but still embarrassed by the consideration that I had penetrated the state of his rela- tions with the chancellor.
 It only remains for me to satisfy you of the truth of my words, l re- sumed. and to afford you an opportu- nity of terminating a scandalous situa- ton. Let me propose to you, sire, a little conspiracy against this gentle man, who has so nearly made us dance to his music
 "The kaiser smiled and listened with approval while I unfoided the plan which I had formed, and which l think was not without ingenuity. You will bear in mind that it was of the last importance to prevent any expla- nation between Wilhelm II and Bis marck until l had reclaimed the docu- ment fraught with so much danger to France.
