Of 7 STATES
POORLY PAID
ENGINEERS OF WESTERN
RAILROADS EARN MORE
MONEY, AYSATTORNEY
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, H., Jan. l9.-Governors o
seven states OF the Union could
make more money sitting in the CAP
of a locomotive on some of the runs
of western railways than they now
receive in the executive chairs OF
their respective states.
This statement was made here to-
day ty James M. Sheean, attorney
for the Western railroads, whose en-
gineers, firemen and hostlers are de-
manding higher wages and better
hours, in outlining the railroad side
of the case to the board Of arbitra-
ton. Presentation of evidence Tor
the men began November 80, 1914,
and was completed today after which
Sheean made his remarks.
Sheean went on to say that the
annual salaries of these governors
are smaller than the wages received
by some of the locomotive engineers
of western railroads who ask wage
increases which Sheean said would
amount to s4O,OOO,OoO year.
''Of the $3.50 men whose wages for
the entire year to June % 1913. viii
be shown Sheean cortinuet, there
is maximum of sS,735 20 for PASS
enger engineers; s3,342.Sa for freight
engineers; sl,752.2O for passenger
firemen, and si.ssOo32 for freight
flremen. Against these maximnms
the governors of seven states re-
ceive $4,000 year, or less while
those of seven other states receive
$4,000 or only slightly above the en-
eineer's maximum earnings.
Actual earning statements for all
engineers and firemen for the month
in which these demands were pre-
sented show that engineers in pass
enger service earned actually an
average of slS5 for the month. with
a maximum actual earnings Of SSf';

NEW CHIEF
IS BACKED
BY VILLA
GUTIERREZ FLEES CAPITAL
WITH SOLDIERS AND
MONEY

Washington, Jan. 19.--General
Francisco Villa, comnander-in- chic
Of the forces controlled by the con
yention in session at Mexico City. was
due to reach the capital today to
assist Colonel Rogue Gonzales Cara
selected by the convention as temper
ary executive to succeed General Flu
alio Gutierrez.
Advices to this effect reached the
state department Monday together
with the information that while the
capital was well protected and po-
Iced there had been some execu-
tions for disorders, and the populace
was uneasy over the general situa-
tion. sF MRsEEsMM
The reason for the departure OF
Gutierrez has not yet been explained
to the state department, and the be-
lief prevails that with the 5000 troops
accompanying him from Mexico City
and General Blanche and Robles he
is endeavoring either to join General
oOregon and the Carranza elements
or intends to set up an independent
faction.
Light was thrown on the conduct
Of Gutierrez tonight by the receipt
here from Vera Cruz ofcopies of let
ters said to have been exchanged be-
tween General Gutierrez and Gener-
ais 0bregon and Candido Aguilar,
dated January z, approximately the
time when Gutierrez announced TO
the convention that he was working
on plans for the pacification OF Mex
leo.
Briefly, his plan was said to be to
unite with Generals Obregon and
Aguilar in 1eposing villa from control
of the convention forces.

sell their product to the Lamar Hell
vetia plant. These companies believe
THAT the dairy industry is the natural
complement of the beet industry, and
the faith they show in it and their
heavy expenditures for stock and
equipment will encourage the smaller
farmers to go more extensively into
the industry. Such plants as are being
put in by these companies, and by
such enterprising individuals as Z. j.
Wagner and many others are rapidly
developing the industry here and prov
ing the faith of those who worked so
hard to bring the Helvetia plant here
The pledge of the citizens to the
Helvetia company will be more than
met. 1t was estimated that about one
thousand cows were in the county at
the time the contract was made and
this was to be raised to $500 in two
years, 1900 of which at least were to
be holsteins. Over 5000 holsteins,
either heifers or cows have been ship
ped in and more are coming all the
time. This will be constantly in
creased now by the product here, and
in the course of a few years this ter
ritory, instead of the heavy outlay
which has been going out for holstein
stock, will be heavy shipper of these
valuable animals itself. 1t has been a
hard drag on many of our farmers
to get started but the reward will be
heavy in very few years, and in the
meantime the milk pay roll is increas-
ing rapidly and already is being a very
material help in carrying the indus
try. The officials of the company es-
innate that this spring will find the
farmer milking $500 cows and draw

erybody with land should follow the

Making a Living With Poultry While
Trees Are Coming Into Bearing

A good hen, properly fed and cared
for, will in Colorado return "a profit
above cost of keep of 50 year, where
the eggs are sold in the open market
Where a private market is secured or
eggs are sold for Matching, or pure
bred fowls are sold for breeding, the
profits are greater.
The average profit Of $500 per hen
has been made with both small and
large hocks, and under widely differ
ent conditions in different paris Of the
state.
One hundred laying mems can lie
kept on each acre of full grown OF
chard without interfering with the
regular operations. One of the most
successful poultry raisers in Colo, ado
is keeping six hundred hens per atre
on land where there are NJ trees. The
man with a young orcharl can work
between these two extremes, depend
ing on the size of his trees, keeping
from three to four hundred laying
hens per acre when the trees are first
planted and two hundred hens per
acre after the trees begin to car con
siderably. Under these conditil' ), II
skillful poultryman can make above
expenses, from six hundred To eight
hundred dollars per acre with poultry
in newly planted orchard and four
hundred dollars per acre after the
trees are in bearing.
A man without experience in poul-
try raising would have to start in with
smaller number per acce-say aaout
one hundred, and be content with less
profits the first year or two until he
learned the business.
Colorado is particularly adapted 10
profitable poultry growing as the eli
mate, sunshine, feeds and altitude are
as beneficial to the thrift u poultry
as they are to the health and vigor Of
men and women.

Household Accounts

The keeping of accounts is perhaps
the most perplexing part of household
management, and yet in the conduct
ing of any business it is of the great
est Importance to record receipts and
expenditures, to keep a watchful eye
on investments, and to determine at
the end Of the year the results of the
bushes and the exact condition of
the capital. If the modern household
is to measure up to its possibilities it
must be regarded as a business con-
Germ and be conducted as such.
Household accounts are hard to
keep for several reasons First. there
are daily expenditures, and second,
many Expenditures of small amounts.
1t is easy to remember buying a suit
or the winters supply of coal, paying
the taxes or the rent, but carfare, a
yeast cake, shoe lace, or a postage
stamp, are items one forgets to make
note of, and accounts that will not
balance discourage the woman who is
just beginning to run her household
on a business basis. She feels that
just to have record of the money
spent is not worth all the time and
trouble she is putting into it. She is
sure that she has been most economi-
cal in spending, but without records
in black and white she forgets the
twenty-five cents today and twenty
five cents tomorrow spent unneces-
sariiy, but which multiplied by three
hundred and sixty=five, results in a
sum worth considering.
Whether the system used is one of
cards, envelopes, or books is Of minor
Importance, but the housekeeper
should cultivate a love for business
like management Of household finan-
ces, or see in it possibilities large
enough to create a willingness to
give the thought and time necessary
to make the keeping of household ac-
counts a success.

Wants the Credit

The exchanges say there is plenty
of food either in Belgium or on the
way to insure against suffering until
February 18th, and yet there are
thousands of worthy Americans who
have not enough to insure them
against starvation until January 18th.
More attention to the needs of home
people would be less likely to pull
down the press notices but it would
be more worthy of commendation and
carry out the doctrine that charity
begins at home. The noisy philan-
thropist are more interested in press
notices than real charity however.

Realize $4,000 From Seed

A dispatch from Grover to the Pc
eblo Chieftain gives the following
interesting facts regarding the scien-
tific method of growing alfalfa seed:
More than $4,000 realized from the
100 acres of dry land in this district
that was put into alfalfa sown in
rows and cultivated the same as corn
and the product of the ground allow
ed to go to seed is a record that Mart
Haley, who owns a large section of
land beEe, made this season.
The product VI the 100 acres, that
represents two years Of work and
many more of serious thought, same
from field that was planted with
seed from a farm that had produced
the best OF seed for forty-three years.
The seed was sowE in rows three feet
apart with seven or eight seed to the
foot, 1t was then furrowed and call
tivated once very two weeks with a
cultivator that went four inches deep.
The first year it was clipped close
just as it entered the blossom stage

The Prowers county member in each

so far everything is moving as well

the financial ability of this section is
recognized. The finance committee
is really the most important in the or
ganization and in the senate Hasty is
chairman of that committee and in
the house McGrath is ranking mem
Der next to the chairman. McGrath is
chairman of the canals and reservoir

and thirty-seven tons of hay was cut
from the field. The seed is said to be
of the finest quality and was taken
to Denver for sale. When it reached
that city it was hauled through the
streets on big beet wagon with large
banners telling where it was raised,
and it created much attention. Haley
has decided that raising seed is more
profitable than regular farming and
expects to plant more this season.
