BUSY BOOSTING THE

WESTERN RAILROADS
 TO BE HEARD

No doubt the western rail- roads have been greatly en- couraged by the success of the Eastern roads in getting an increase in rates, and they have arranged with the Inter state Commerce Commission to give them a hearing of their grievances, and the mat ter will be taken up in On
 Cago next month. The peti- tiOn from the western roads differs from that of the east. ernerS in that it does not ask for a horizontal raise, but in creases based upon traffic conditions and upon the movement of individual class and commodities. This is al- iegeQ TO amount TO from two to three per cent in some cases, to as high as twenty five per cent in other inst The petitions will be contested by many of the western states.
 These railroad rate hear ingS are important beyond the mere fact that they are the basis of a readjuStment of rates, as they demonstrate that there is a proper tribunal for the settlement of such Formerly it was a case of "jockeying' with leg .slatureS and congressman.

Useful New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented
 wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to
 play the piano or organ In one even
 ing. Even though you know abso- lutely nothing about music or have never touched a piano or organ, you can now learn to play in an hour or two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play
 their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from
 anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured
 the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirous of at once making it known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and ha1f-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method We are willing to send it to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us a letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Numera1 Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S. although the regular price of these is $10. You should not delay writing, as we shall not continued . this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price, Address Numeral Method Music Co.,, sos Trussed Concrete Building, Detroit, Mich.-Adv't.

FIGHTING OVER JOBS

The most harmless thing the Senate can do is to figh' with the president over the jobs. Of course, the results nay be disappointing to the fellows who are not confirm ed, but that is of negligible consequence. The President is following the plan of his predecessors, MeSSrs. RooSe- welt and Taft, in making re- cess appointments, thereby keeping some of his friends in office. The Senate pro- poses to investigate this new method of "beating them to 1t, " and a committee has been appointed to look into the matter.

WOOD AS FUEL

The woodpile exists only at Oyster Bay and other places removed from the big cities. Wood as a fuel has passed into remembrance in a large part of the country. The great log" on a fireplace in a city home is now counted among the luXurieS of these times. As a matter of fact, it is doubtful whether a large part of the young people of modern times have ever seen a wood fire, and it may be news to them to know that the Forest Service at Wash- ington has calculated that the fuel value of two pounds of wood is roughly equivalent to that of one pound of coal.
 Certain kinds of wood, all such as hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine and also cherry, have fairly high heat values, and only one cord of seasoned wood of these Spe- cieS is requiEed to equal one ton of good coal.
 It takes a cord and a half of short leaf pine, hemlock, re4 gum, Douglas fir, Syca- more and soft maple to equal a ton of coal, and two cords of cedar, redwood, poplar, ca talpa, Norway pine, cypress, baSSwood, spruce and white pine.
 Non-resinous woods, how ever, are said to have practi- cally the same heat value re- gardleSS of species, and as a consequence it can be stated as a general proposition that the heavier the wood the more heat to the cord. And weight for weight, however, there is very little difference between the various species.

Arizona is the greatest metal producing state in the Union, and is still an unde- veloped state. The prosperi- ty of the mines means the prosperity of the farmer, mer- chant and cattleman, and, in fact, of every one within the state. Money taken from the ground does not impoveriSh any one, and it is money from the east for mine pay rolls that furnishes the mon ey for circulation in Arizona.
 The mines need assistance, not only in the matter of leg islation, but in state research work. The large companies have their own corps of engi- neerS, but there are over 1900 mines in the state whose own CTS are unable to do the prop CT work for their develop ment. This is the province of the Arizona College of Mines and to further this work the board of regents of the uni VerSity are this year asking the legislature for a new min- ing building. The university needs it, the mines need it. and the people need it.
 There is another reason for asking for a more adequate building this year. We have been practically assured that if we can house a federal mine experiment station, that we will get one within the year. This would mean a great deal to the state of Ari-

FEDERAL TELEPHONE
 BILL CONSIDERED

Congressman Lewis, of Maryland Jumped into" the parcel post battle just after it had been won by James L. Cowles and other veterans who had spent a quarter of a century in fighting for the re- form, and shrieked loudly:
 See, 1 did it.
 The strange part of all is that he got away with the claim, and a whole lot of mis- guided people have ever since been calling him the Father of the parcel post"
 Now MT. Lewis declares that we are going to keep at this government ownership proposition of telegraph and telephone lines the same as we did with the parcel post until we win"
 The whole spirit of modern effort in governmental lines is being devoted to securing better results from the regu- lation of the domestic affairs of the country, and it is doubtful if there is more than a corporapS guard in the congress that could be mus tered in favor of a govern ment ownership plan for tele- graph lines, telephone lines, clothes lines, railroads, or any similar proposition.
 The federal government, a3 administered under the last three administrations is very proud of it's accomplishments with reference to regulating and busting" the trusts; and the thought of the day is to secure fair and square legis- lation, with repression Wher necessary, through such nice as the Interstate COmmrece Commission.

CROP DIVERSIFTCATTON

The Department of Agri-
 culture has fifteen women
 acting as agents in the South
 They have built up system so that they have 369 country agents carrying out their in- structionS, and these county agents are directing the work of s. APO girls.
 If the men of the South cannot see the fallacy of the single crops, despite wars. embargoeS and the boil wee vii, then there appears to be hope in the splendid results being obtained through the young women who show that they are able to appreciate that something besides grow ing cotton is essential.
 A young lady named Madge Farrar has been teach ing the TenneSSeeanS a few tricks in farming, and the Az ricultural Department gives out the information that by raising and selling vegetables throughout the year she has made a net profit of $131.62, while the second best girl, who also did good work, but did not diversity, made $96.2O profit. The girl with the sec ond average grew only beans and tomatoes during the sum- mer and fall. Miss Farrar, however, having grown these crops, put in onions during the winter, which she sold at a good profit in February. She then proceeded to plant cabbages, which brought her an income during April and May, while peas were her big main crop in June. This now brought her back to the toma- to and bean season and this rounded out year of profit able vegetable growing.
 Another young woman found a peace orchard into which hogs had been turned. She took her canner with her and established herself in the orchard to save what was left from the hogs, and made $60I in one week from her work. | Similar instances have dem onStrated the possibilities of saving waste in that section, and there has been a more general interest exhibited not | only by the farmers daugh- terS but by many of their wives.
 The Texas girls have now shown an unusual interest in poultry in addition to their canning and garden work. This is only the first year of the poultry work, but already 250 young women have &C., compliShed actual results and in not single case did the girls fail to make a profit. The result has been thar in cases the whole flock of poultry on the far mhaS been turned over 10 the daughter. The marketable value of in- fertile eggs has been ernpha- sized

AAN IOIlOWO lIllO WllH pal o- phrases and platitudes, eulo- gizing the intelligence of the American farmer. Getting down to the results found in making a survey of the whole
 field, the secretary states the department is now spending money to develop the live stock industry in connection with the reclamation projects as we'll as on public grazing lands, and cheaper lands. in the south. While the govern ment can coax it's farmers, and explain to them why they should do certain things, yet it cannot engage in raising beef, as that kind of public ownership hasn't yet arrived.
 The American farmer has a lot yet to learn, and perhaps the agricultural department may be able in time to con- vince Texas that it is improvi- dent, for it pays annually more than $5O,OOO,OOO for wheat, corn and oats, that is imported into that state; in the same articles, Georgia pays more than $24,OOO,OOO annually, and South Carolina than $2O,OOO,OOO.
 The secretary further says:
 Twelve Southern states import more than $175,OOO,- poo worth of these three com modities, and $48,OOO,OOO of meats, dairy and al- SO poultry products. It may be admitted that some of these states should not under take the production of theSe commodities for foreign or interstate shipment in compe- -ition with the great states of he Middle West, but every student of the subject must recognize the unwiSdom of he neglect to product just enough of these things for he consumption of their peo- ole and for the laying of the foundation of a prosperous livestock development.
 If farmers in the South | lad heretofore practiced di- justification on sufficiently arge scale, producing their 'wn home supplies, that sec ion would not be in it's pres mt hard case. The experts f the department are en- Ieavoring and laboring earn stly to bring about a better Erection of the agricultural
