MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT
STORE WINS AT CINCINNATI
(By United sss)

CINCINNATI. Feb 13.-A munich
pal department store, working two
ways for charity was today voted an
established success here As a result,
hundred S of Cincinnati s poor are to-
day wearing twenty-fve-cent shoes,
fve-cent coats, twenty -fve-cent over
coats, ffty-cent suits of clothes and
other apparel which they avoided char
ity by buying and paying for like or
binary folks in ordinary department
stores.
The municipal department store
is conducted by the cIty's "bundle
day committee. Worn clothing is
gathered from the residence districts,
t is then taken to the municipal work
shops" where unemployed men and
women are paid decent wage to mend
and put the material in presentable
condition. The next step is the @ de-
partment store.' Garments are sold
at minimum prices to the needy. But
none but the needy need apply for
permits to buy are issued after
due investigation of each applicant.
The municipal department store y
profted $l,s17.67, or an average of
fourteen cents on eacn garment, in
three days. This money was used to
pay Sl,472.lS to unemployed mend
ers in the municipal workshop. The
balance represented "cash on hand =

NEW JERSEY LAUNCHES
WILSON 1916 BOOM
nv United Press.l

TRENTON. Feb. 13-Although Pres
ident Wilson may not have meant TO
start anything with respect to a
second term when he said in his In
dianapolis speech that the people
might later on have an opportunity to
render a decision on his accomplish
ments, the Democracy of New Jersey
certainly has started out with the sin.
gle purpose of accomplishing that
which the President disavowed. The
state committee prior to the fall cleo
ton took quarters here in a building
on West state, not far from the eapl-
tol. and past which all the politicians
must go on their way to the seat OF
the state government.
The purpose of establishing these
quarters last fall was not for issuing
campaign liteurature and helping keep
New Jersey in line in 1914 so much as
it was to begin the fight that the Dem
ocrats of the staIe intend making in
1916 TO return Woodrow Wilson to the
President s chair. So, whether or not
the President Is remarks at Indianapo-
lis recently bore the significance that
some gave them, New Jersey has al
ready taken the initiative in this mat
ter. True, there is not over much ac-
tivity in the committees offices here
at present, just a stenographer or two
handling the mail, hut in the windows
hang pictures of the President, so that
he who runs may RAD the purpose
of the establishment to be the re-nom-
ination and reelection of Woodrow
Wilson in 1916 as President of the
United States.

FOR RELIEF OF DES-
ERTLAND SETTLERS

Representative Hayes, of California,
has introduced h1l in Congress
which is intended to bring relief to
settlers on desert Lands where irriga-
ton must be provided, if at all, by
the expenditure of large sums of mon
ey through organized effort. Settlers
in the Chuckawalla Wiley, on the Col
orado river, were instrumental in Sc
curing the introduction of this bill, but
there are similar conditions existing
in the San Joaquin valley, and in other
places in California, Nevada, New
Mexico, Arizona and other states.
The bill provides that when bona
fide entrymen in a district of govern
ment owned lands requiring irrigation
for their practical use and which are
susceptible of such irrigation from one
common source, are not allowed by the
government to divert water from such
source or are prohibited by the secre-
tary of the interior from taking water
from such source by reason of any
pending question involving the owner
ship. apportioument. conflicting rights
of diversion, conservation of flood wa
ters, or any other cause beyond the
control of the sntryman, the require
ments of law as to annul assessments
Il final proofs shall without further
or notice be thereby suspended
until such questions shall dave been
determined.
Section two requires the secretary
of the interior to give notice of such
suspension and if he does not do so
or more entrymep, acting for all
may petition for such suspension and
the secretary must take cognizance of
ii. No contest or cancellation of any
claims may be made because Of such
suspension.
While it is not probable that action
can be had on this bill before March
4, Representative Hayes is planning to
push it with energy at the next session
of Congress- To that end he will con
suit with Senator NeWlands and others
who are interested in irrigation

CLAIMS DECISION
WILL AID NEVADA

Under the inter-mountain rate case
decision made public from Washington
Thursday, Nevada shippers will profit
more than under 4he original decision,
according to Special Examiner Henry
Thurtel, who has been taking evidence
in Southern Nevada rate cases in the
state.
Under the decision of several months
ago, from which the railroads asked
relief as to $50 commodities, including
those that covered the bulk of the
traffic to inter-mountain points, it was
estimated that Nevada shippers would
save million dollars annually.
Although on its face the more recent
decision seems to favor the railroads,
it is explained that this is not actually
the case. The earlier decision allowed
differential of 7 per cent from Chi
cago, Is per cent from Pittsburg and
25 per cent from New York to be add
ed to the freight rates from Missouri
River points. The neE decision allow =
similar additions of Is per ceut, 25 per
cent and 35 per cent, respectively, but
these percentages will be calculated on
much lower base rate. That is, new
low rates put into effect to terminal
points to the carriers in order 10 meet
Panama canal competition will be
enough lower than the old rates to
more than offset the higher differen-
tials.

Good word for coyote

Mr.. Sanders is emphatic in his state
ment that the coyote is friend OF the
farmer, instead of an arch enemy, as
has been the general impression.
Speaking on this subject to Silver
State reporter today, he said:
"For at least nine months in the
year the coyote subsists on jaekrabbits
and other rodent pests. The only time
he damages the farmer and stoekman
is during lambing time. As this is co
incident with the tirne when the coy
ote is feeding its own young, it grows
bolder and makes frequent raids .on
the lambing grounds. If the stockman
would enclose his lambing ground with
a 30-ineh woven wire fence. with two
barbs on top, he would have little to
fear from the coyote.
