JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, March 10.
The hopes Of Missouri railroads for
an increase in passenger rates were
revived today when the state senate
railroad committee amended and then

public service commission to make a
physical valuation of all railroads
operating i'm Missouri before permit
ting the roads to Increase passenger
rates from two cents mile, the pres
ert legal maximum rate, to 2 Y cents

II was estimated the physical valu-

 According to a census bureau report just issued the death rate In the United States in 1918 was about one- fifth of per cent greater than in the year before but for the same years the deaths from tuberculosis dropped from l4s.5 in the 100000 to 147.6. That Is 10 say. the general death rate rose a little while the rate from tuberculosis fell percaptibly in the same period. Tuberculosis Is the disease which has attracted the greatest amount of pub- lie attention and the one against which preventive measures have been most vigorous of late years. The people understand the dangers. know some thing about how to avoid 1t and are treating the prevention Of the disease '.s public problem. The figures which the census bureau gives are evidence that they are succeeding and should give new courage to the fight not only against tuberculosis but against pre- preventable disease of all kinda

FARMS HARD TO GET.
(Dayton News

Oae of the reasons why more people do not return to the soil at this time, when every newspaper in the country iA preaching back to the farm" ser mons. Is that 1t reQuies too much capital. No man can go upon a farm and hope to cultivate it as 1t should De cultivated unless he has sufficient means or credit to enable him to live TOT about two years. And even at the end of that time he will find himself iil need of still further credit or capital.
 There has been a great deal of talk an this country about creating some kind Of system of farm credits that would aid the farmers, but up to the present little has been done. In all countries where thereais such a system il works wonderfully we'll but we have not as yet hit upon any system in this country that can be said to be real s;.ief to the farmers. nor an encour- agement to those who want to become farmers.

BIG GUNS ON BRITISH SHIPS.
(New York Times.)

England now Is building six battle cruisers of thirty-two knot speed, which will be mounted with a new sixteen inch gun.
 Such is the assumed perfection of the building arrangements under the special speeding plans prepared by the admiralty that these ships. 1t Is ex- pected. will all be launched within five or six months from the date of laying down; and they will therefore be In condition we'll within the present year.
 These ships are supposed to be the last word" in naval construction. They will. of course. all have their proper complement of light cruisers and de- stroyers.
 A sixteen-inch gun should hurl a ton of explosive from sixteen to twenty miles. Artilerists usually calculate a mile.fire radius for each inch of cali Der In the big guns. but the latest large caliber guns are believed to have oettered this proportion. It has been said. for instance. that the new fifteen inch guns of the superdreadnought Queen Elizabeth would drop shells al- most twenty miles away.

CAN'T AFFORD TO GET MARRIED
(trom the Kansas City Star.)

(trom the Kansas City Star)
 In one of his first books. Wages in the United States" Dr. Nearing proved that half the adult men in the United States are earning less than s500.00 a year; that three quarters of them are earning less than $500 annually; that nine -tenths are receiving less than S800 a year IL has been estimated that q man and his wife and three children cannot maintain normal standard of life on less than $900 a year Element ary arithmetic would seem to show why there are fewer early marriages, why there are fewer marriages at any age why there are smaller families.
 Tt Is the unmarried worker who fixed the wage. not the married one, said Dr. Nearing. Our economic atti- tude toward marriage Is anti-social, anti moral. the worst word you can think of to call 1t. It's the exceptional young man who can afford to get married before he's 30. unless his father says to him, Go ahead and m support you.''

THE AGE OF USEFULNESS.
(De :. ton News.)


 Dr. E. s. 5 san says that six hun dred of the | st uminent statesmen, scientists inven .ois and writers were selected al random, and their ages inquired into, together with the ques- ton of the period of their greatest work. It was found that only per cent of them accomplished their worlds work before reaching the age of 40. Ten per cent of them showed their greatest efficiency between 40 and 50. Twenty per cent of these notable men did not accomplish anything won derful until they had reached the pe- riod between 50 and 60, while 35 per cent of them did their real work be- tween 60 and 70. There were no fewer than 22 per cent of the famous men who had done their greatest work between the ages of 70 and 80 but at that point the percentage took a sudden downward trend. and only per cent of them had performed any notable feat after reaching the age of 80. Only 9 per cent-but note that that is u greater per cent than did anything worth while before they reached the age of 40.

AeoLisHiNG SLANG.
Seattle P.-I.)


 From various centers of culture in the east comes the word that slang Is to be eliminated from the written and spoken language of the United States. Purists have become convinced that, instead of enriching the language, slang weakens the vocabulary and en- courages slovenly mental habits.
 That the purists will not succeed is certain. The breezy vernacular of the street has too firm position in the language to be jared loose by any number of purists fewer than ma- jority. And 1t Is unlikely that they will ever attain to such importance.

FINANCIAL CRISIS THREATENING.

 For countless generations nations have striven to accumulate gold: the nation with the most gold per capita was considered the financial leader Now novel situation has arisen and with 1t new doctrine. The United States is accommodating gold too fast, n.lt instead of rejoicing. our leading bankers are preaching that unless great wisdom is displayed. this influx of gold may lead to financial demoralization. The bankers argue that there is a normal status of equilibrium between the various countries of the world as regards gold holdings. This normal status Is now upset by the influx of wold from Europe. This excess of gold iA likely to lead to unwise extension of credit. unwarranted starting of new enterprises. and ver-speculation. With the cessation of the war the gold will withdrawn with the possible result of a disastrous financial disturbance. All this Is what might happen. but fore- warned is forearmed.

COMMENCING TO MOVE
LOCAL AND FOREIGN BUYERS
TAKING CROPS
Wet Weather Brings Tobacco Into
Case-Prices Are Ruling Low
The Pooling Plan

Tobacco matters have taken quite a
squirt IN buying, a nurs1er Of firms hav-
ing done good deal Of riding during
the past ten days. Mcintosh Brothers
of Edgert0n have been among the out
side purchases. We learn that many
crops have been borSht BY foreigners
and home dealers, the prices ranging
from five to II cents, possibly an aver
age of eight cents.
OF late there has been plenty of rain
and foRgy conditions to bring the crops
remaining on the poles into case, and
we doubt not that there is little left
hanging.
On conditions generally in the grow
ing districts, we quote from the Edger-
ton Tobacco Reporter: cit has been
some years since the Wisconsin tohac-
co growers have faced such conditions
as those that prevail at the present
writing. For nearly ten consecutive
years our farmers have been able to
dispose of their tobacco in the bundle
as soon as stripped, generally at re-
munerative figures, and before the win
ter has passed the crop of the state is
usually turned into cash, so that before
the plans for another crop are arrang-
ed the previous crop has been pretty
we'll lifted. During these years there
has been an active demand for all low
grades so that there has been no ac-
cumelation of stock of any description
to Interfere with a healthy market.
However, the present crop, owing to an
unusually large area of hail and storm
damage, is likely to yield much larger
per cent of low grade than for some
years past. !"
Buyers are taking over the tobacco
crop more freely now than any time
since the first week of the early move
ment. Growers are more willing to ac-
cept the offerings of reduced prices so
there is not much difficulty in agreeing
upon terms.
The Equity pool opened on Monday
in the Espeseth house. Eight crops
we're taken in that day. About 300
acres of tobacco have been pledged.
There is no lack of help to man the
place,

THE FINANCIAL ENp OF IT

And here is a story of hercuIanean
effort, self-sacrifiee and generosity.
One year ago the Methodist church
property was listed at "a, 900; today
1874, 000 And total debt against the
property is only $4,000. To the ladies
as usual will go the major praise for
lifting the burden, for in the role of
solicitors and entertainment givers the

sum Of S6. 600 The largest individual
doner is ]. Z. Nuzum, 50, 900 to his
credit. 0 G Munson comes next with
5000. Supt c. +. Buffers, Rev. j. f.
Cooke, John Stoll, T. o Mork and C.
W Chase follow with $500 each. The
building cost S25, 600. Organ, windows,
equipment and building cite total IS, 600.
The new parsonage cost 81, 600 About
SIS, 900 has actually been paid. All
but So, 900 of the remainder is covered
by subscriptions. and as the parsonage
is valued at $1,000. the remaining debt
is only about a thousand. II is ex-
pected that this amount will soon be
raised and the church totally cleared of
debt. II is very probable that only in
the rarest cases have churches ever
been dedicated so frse from encum-
brances as this.

Basket Rail Notes

Viroqua high school b sket ball
team defeated Ontario highs in a very
hotly contested game Friday night IT
the Opera house. Score at the end of
first half was IL to IL in favor of On
tario, but our lads far out played their
opponents in the second half. Final
score 80 to 10 in favor of the local team.
Ontario has an experienced team but
were not in condition and at times were
ratified. Suttle guarded their best man
one basket.
Saturday night Hillsboro comes here.
They have one of the strongest teams
in this section, not having been beaten
in fourteen years on their own floor.
Viroqua was beaten there early in the
season, but will work their hardest to
make it game apiece. This promises
TO be as good game as the one with
Lacrosse here. and possibly even better.
