PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP.

Ownership Not Imminent.

w. Il. Storey Believes Government
Ownership Not Imminent.
1.-The American people are waking
up to the fact that the prosperity Of
the country and the prosperity Of the
railroads bear a relation as close as
that of the blood to the well being Of
a human being" said w. b. Storey,
vice president of the Santa Fe, in a
recent interview.
II do not believe government own
ership of railroads in any wise con-
fronts us in the immediate future for
the reason just given," Mr.. Story said.
Certainly if the roads are given suf-
ficient revenue to maintain lines they
have built, and for construction Of
needed extensions, men will continue
to put their money in railroads. If
they are not granted an increase in
rates, no man who has money and
good horse sense is going to invest it
in a railroad. 1t would be foolish.
1.-THE truth that hammered indus
trial activity hurts the railroads is no
less true when applied the other way.
Railroads can not be injured unless
the country they serve is likewise in
jured. If bind my arm and stop the
circulation Of the blood, my arm dies;
if the country binds its transportation
facilities it must die also. We believe,
of course, that better days are COM
ing"

Agricultural Commissioner OF Santa
Fe Gives Advice to Farmers.
II. NJ. Bainer, agricultural commits
sioner of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, warns farmers
against new tangled methods of agri-
cultural development that are not
backed by thorough experiments. In
an address before the Kansas state
board of agriculture Mr.. Banner told of
the work the Santa Fee has done with
the view of encouraging better farming.
and said that his company never had
advocated any method of land prepara-
ton. seeding. cultivation, harvesting,
feeding or marketing without first hav-
ing tested and tried out every item to
its fullest extent.
The same rule has prevailed with
reference to varieties of crops recon-
mended, our people maintaining that
adaptability Is the first consideration
Mr. Banner said. 'Often disappoint-
ment Is concealed beneath snowy liter
allure designed to disclose the supposed
merits of new and untried plants Re-
garding live stock, breeds have received
due consideration according to their re-
spective merits and ability to adopt
themselves profitably to the conditions
of the farmers by whom they are to be
handled. No untried theories have been
advanced by the Santa Fe with refer
ence to the feeding value of crops, nor
to their combination. Before giving
farmers advice about feeding, we ex-
haust every means at our command to
know the value of the product under
consideration"
The SAM Fee. through it's agricul-
tural department. carries on expert

Kansas, al d other agricultural states
through whi> the company's lines
run. The plan is to contract with
farmers to set aside ten acres or more
to be cultivated under the direction Of
one of the company's demonstrators.
Five years ago. when the department
was organized, Mr.. Banner explained
the company cO-operated with 250
farmers, working about 1000 acre.
for demonstration crops. In 1914
more than 1000 farmers were in co..
operation with the Santa Fe in exper-
iment work. using about $4,000 acres
in the demonstration.
In the last few years. Mr.. Banner
said, the Santa Fee has purchased
seed of the highest possible purity for
experiment work. The supply has
been used by the individual farmers
as loan, they paying it back at the
succeeding harvest time. In this
manner the seed was used as a sort
Of endless chain,' by which MANY
were benefited. Practically every

Get the nerves of your oppo-
nent," was an axiom Of Kid Mccoy
in his fighting days. The Kid was
cute and counted much of his sue
cess to his brains.
Mccoy, however, has no. hogged
the limelight in this stunt, as de-
veloped the other day. Packey
Mcfarland is the one who shares
the honors
A New York promoter told the
story and vouched for its truth.
Packey once worked the art on the
redoubtable Leach Cross. The pair
were in a downtown newspaper Of
flee being weighed in for a fight
on the scales and the beam didn't
move. AS Leach backed on the
scales Packey purposely got in his
way, and as consequence they
bumped into each other.
What do you mean by showing
me?" yelled Packey with furious
frown.
Il didn't mean to shove you.
Packey," said Leach, thoroughly
frightened.
you did. and you did it on pur-
pose" growled Packey.
You're mistaken" said Leach.
meekly.
How dare you contradict me-"
roared Packey. Take that" and
Leach was sent spinning against
the wall from the force Of a left
hook that caught him full on the
chin.
That took all the spunk out Of
Cross. That night Packey had to
actually chase Leach. so frightened
was the cas-. slider. Packey laugh
ingly admitted afterward that the
scale incident had been nut on for
the sole purpose Of getting Cross's
nerve.

AFTER A LOOP HOLE.
Organized Baseball VIII Contend That
Labor Isn't . Commodity.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-One of the points
in the defense of organized baseball
in the antitrust suit brought against
it by the Federal League, which will
be heard today, will be based on sec
ton of the Clayton act, recently
passed by congress. The section which
the attorneys for the defense are ex-
pected to cite, reads:
THAT the labor of q human being
is not a commodity or article of COM
merca"
The Federal Leagues bill of COM
plant asks that organized baseball be
declared a trust I'm restraint of trade
and commerce..
It was said that the attorneys for
the defendants would contend that as
organized baseball deals In labor, it
cannot be said to violate the law.
According to the afi1davits flied so
far. the following salaries are alleged
to have been offered BAN players by
the Federal League and either ac-
cepted or refused by the players:
Bresnahan (refused) $4,000; Per-
rift (accepted) $4,000: Hamilton lac
cepted-reconsidered) $1,000; Falken-

Thousands of farmers along the

front them, and he is able through his
force of experts to live them the ad-

Wisconsin Legislature Invited to the
Clabby- Gibbons Prize Fight.

Milwaukee, Wis. IAN. 20.-A. ].
Hedding, father Of the Wisconsin box

luton before the state legislature
calling for the attendance of the en-
tire senate and assembly in a body at

here Thursday night. The solons
have been invited by the Cream City
Boxing club, whose officials wish to

ing a bill that is not considered good
for the country dog. His bill provides
that the dog that chases a rabbit onto
the property of a neighbor. may be
potted ad lib by the property owner.
me title of the bill should be amended
to read: IAN ACT to promote crime
in rural districts" The first crime
would be when the land owner shot
the dog and the next when the farmer
boy owner of the dog set fire to the
house of the shooter-which would be
at the first opportunity. A third crime
would be committed when the boy
was pinched and sent to the reforma-
tory.
Those who had hoped that legislat-
ing new sandbags onto the railroads
had ceased to be popular sport, are
somewhat disappointed in the 1915
session. The old fashioned idea that
anything added to the load of railroad
legislation is desirable. is still pre-
valent in some circles. where the
change in styles of legislation has not
penetrated.
Individual drinking cups for the
mem bers of the house is the desire of
Fred Zutavern, and in few days the
house. as it moves. will sound like q
rough road. The principal objection
to the individual drinking cup is that
it rattles when folded, and leaks like
the state house roof when extended
for use. A pedestrian, armed with one
of the things. is frequently suspected
of having a can full of small rocks
concealed about his person. and the
folds of the article offer many hiding
places for the fresh and festive mi
crobe. Outside of that. the self-cock-
ing drinking cup is all right.
cI-
legislators should be paid a little
something above cigar change for
their services. Mr.. Shuey is not the
originator Of this thought, as every
member who ever attended a session
believes the same, but Mr.. Shuey diff
fers from the others in that he has the
nerve to say SO. The usual thing is for
the member to throw out the impress
sion that he is perfectly satisfied with
his per diem and willing to spend q
wad Of his own kale for the privilege
of serving the dear pee-pul in q legis-
lative capacity.
And a lot Of rank outsiders are Of
the opinion that a raise Of wages for
members of the legislature would be
