BIG WORLD WHEAT YIELD
War Hips Not Cut Down Acreage Ex
tensively

Wars ,ravages apparently have not
turned the European wheat fields to
battlehelds as extensively as was
generally supposed, according to fig
ures announced at Washington, and
gathered by the department of agri-
culture. No figures are available
from Germany or Russia but in Ger
many the acreage probably has been
increased and Russia's acreage prob
ably is still the worlds largest
But in the countries of the northern
hemisphere, where wheat ordinarily
approximates 24G00O,0OO acres, eight
show estimated plantings OF l43,S25,
600 acres against 143,G25,O00 acres
last year. The conclusion is that
despite the apparent billion-bushel
crop in the United States, the farm
ers in other countries have been spur
red into efforts to increase their own
production.

POISONED SONG BIRDS
PawIet Man Scattered Poisoned Grain
About His Premises.

There is great Indignation among
the people of West Pawlet over the
action of a well-known resident Of the
place in scattering poisoned grain
about his premises and in the road in
front of his house for the purpose Of
killing wild birds which angered him
by helping themselves to grain and
other hen food. The poisoned grain
was eaten by birds of all descriptions
with deadly effect
Authentic reports state that scores
of dead birds, including robins, spar
rows of various kinds, bluebirds, and
many other varieties, were found
dead in fields and by the roadside A
woman counted IA within small
area. The grain was so heavily pois-
oned that a cat which ate bird
which had consumed a quantity of
the poison gave up its life as conse-
quence.
1t is pointed out that at this season
OF the year birds are of particular
value to the farmer because of the
great number of insects and other
pests to crops which they destroy
AS many birds are feeding nestlngs
now the mortality is much greater
than the birds actually poisoned
would indicate.
The act OF destroying insectivorous
and song birds is punishable under
the state and federal laws.

The beautiful estate of DR.. and Mrs

PosToFFIcE 100 YEARS

RAIL RO AID S
NUMBER IS VAST
Fifteen Millions in q. S. Are
Supported by Railways.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The question, "How many persons
are dependent upon railroads for a
living" has always been an interest
ing topic of conversation in Topeka
In this city there are in round num-
bers $500 or more men and women
on the payrolls of the Santa Fe, Rock
Island, Union Pacific and Missouri
Pacific. At that rate it IS estimated
that from $4,000 to 10000 persons
are directly dependent upon the rail-
ways for their support and it would
be hard to estimate the great number
OIL business men indirectly dependent
on the railroads.
The latest available figures show
that the railroads in this country have
l, S4S,SS3 persons on their payrollS
Figuring the customary five to a fam
lily brings total of 9,244,4 Ais persons
The minimum number of workers de-
pendent for employment mainly upon
orders from railroads employees of
locomotive companies, and car manu-
1acturerS) is figured at more than
100000. Multiplying this by five
brings an additional 100000, or
total of nearly 100000 persons. or
about one out of every seven persons
in the United States
The payrolls of the railroads
amount yearly to $1,39O,O25,2S6 For
every dollar spent by the railroads,
A cents is distributed in wages to
employees. About % cents of every
dollar is expended for materials and
supplies. Gross earnings of the rail-
roads for the fiscal year 1914 were
$3,O98, 4S7,696 with net of $716,6SS,-
210, while taxes amounted to S142-
1880, an increase of $12, ,4O2.
Dividends averaged 4.92 per cent and
Ala per cent was spent for taxes.
Railroad dollars are spent thus:
Labor, 44.05 cents; coal and oil, 8.64
cents; materials and supplies, $50
cents; miscellaneous expenses, 1855
cents; taxes, Ala cents; loss and dam
age, 2.25 cents; betterment, ETC.,
4.57 cents; interest on funded debt

IRON IN PATH OF PEACE.

A plan which has been dubbed in
England an extra ordinary scheme of
proposed spoliation' has been brought
to light by the publication of the con-
fidential memorandum which was adj
dressed to the German imperial chan
cellor and the federal states of Ger
many some months ago by six great
industrial and agricultural associa-
tions in Germany in reference to the
conditions of future peace and possible
war, says the Iron Trade Review. One
of the striking features of this docu-
ment is that, before peace is declared,
methods of preparing for another war
are being considered and the iron and
steel industry is the most important
factor. The plan suggests the absorp-
ton of Belgium by Germany and the
confiscation of the French iron ore
district of Meurthe and Moselle as
we'll as extensive coal mining districts
1t is stated that although the produce
ton of pig iron in Germany has risen
since August, 1904, to about a million
tons, and that of steel has exceeded a
million tons, there is not an album
dance of pig iron and steel and for
gray iron shells only there have been
required in recent months at least
1000 tons per day-a rather surpris-
pointed out that if the production of

MEDICAL EXAMINATION DAY.

| In a plea for every man and woman
in the United States of adult age to
join in a movement for annual or
other periodic medical examination of
| themselves, which will be launched
on December s, the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis presents figures in a bull
| letin issued recently which show that
practically 100 per cent of the sup
posedly well people of the United
States over 80 years of age have some
physical defect or impairment. About
20 per cent of these impairments were
of a more or less serious nature.
There were besides about 80 per cent
of defects of a minor character. The
| figures which the National Association
presents are based upon the careful
studies made by the Life Extension
Institute among two highly specialized
groups of people, the first group con-
sisting of workers in the Ford Motor
company of Detroit, and the second
group consisting of employees of COM
mercial houses, banks and trust COM
panies in New York. The records of
these examinations show that prac-
tically none of those examined, men
and women, are normal in the strict
fact in the examination is that only
10 per cent of those who were i'm
paired We're aware that there was any
thing the matter with them. This fact
alone, the National tuberculosis asso-
citation points out is sufficient to make
every man and woman in the United
states give careful consideration to the
necessity for at least one physical in
ventory of his entire body year.

ROADS AND THE PI1BLIC.

The postoffice department is confer
ring a benefit on the public by in
specting roads over which rural
routes extend and closing the routes
where the roads are not kept in rea-
sonably good condition, says the Kan
sas Industrialist. Whether the peo-
pie who live on them recognize it or
not, good roads are one of the biggest
factors in successful business farm
ing. Bad roads both add to the ex-
pense of hauling and prevent speedy
bringing of products to market, and
may thus reduce or even entirely
eliminate the farmers profit. Good
roads are of benefit to the towns, not
only because whatever helps the farm
ers helps other people, but because
good roads are an incentive to the
farmer to come to town and trade.

Minette ore were disturbed, the war
would be almost lost. But says the
document, "how does the output of
Minette appear in this war, and how
would it present itself in a future
war? If the fortress of Longwy, with
the numerous blast furnaces in the
district, were delivered up to the
French and a new war broke out, Ger
man and Luxembourg blast furnaces,
producing 20 per cent of the pig iron
of Germany, would be paralyzed in a
few hours by 1ong-range French
guns" This document indicates very
clearly that before terms of peace are
decided upon, the future of the great
iron ore and pig iron producing dis
tricts of Belgium and France now held
by the Germans will be a bone of con-
tertion, which may long delay set
tlement.

A TIME FOR COURTESY.

Topekans, one and all of us, should
put on our best smiles during the days
that the teachers of Kansas will be IN
our city We should go out of our
way on every possible occasion to be
of such assistance as we can to the
women and the men who are playing
such an important part in the mold
ing of the states future. Many
of them, most of them in fact
are more or less strangers to the city.
They'll want to know where to go and
how to get there. And all of US should
make them feel that it will be a pleas
ure on our part to show them the way,
or to assist them in any manner that
might be helpful to them and make
their visit in their capital city more
pleasant. In this field, no one can
render larger service than the police
men and the street car men, and also
the jitney drivers. But every Topekan
should designate himself as com
mittee of one and information bureau
to be of whatever service he can to
the teachers. And his attitude should
our guests will not hesitate to ask for
such aid and assistance as he or she
may need. 1t is to be hoped that To-
pekans have a good reputation for
courtesy among those who visit the
city. AT any rate, the teachers con-
vention will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity to make one. Let's do it. 1t
won't cost anything. And the divi-
dends from courtesy and politeness
are enormous.
