Bankrupt Lines Have One
sixth Of the Mileage Of
Great Systems.
LAWMAKERS ARE BLAMED

one-sixth OF the mileage OF the rail-
roads in the United states is being
operated by receivers. according to the
Rdllcay Age Go.ettc. Two-thirds of the
a in receivers hands are in the
Southwest. The Gazette believes that
'pernicious State regulation" did mucn
to bring about this condition.
With the problem before bankers and
railroad managements of restoring the
bankrupt railroads TO "A condition of SOL
vency.' says the Gdsettc, 1T becomes
essential that the conditions which
brought about bankruptcy should be
studied and analysed In a spirit OF entire
candor a successful termination Of the
conditions which now exist can be ar
rived at only II the causes which brought
about these receiverships are removed.
II Is believed that n study of the accom-
panying map Will help in this analysis.
"The roads in the hands OF receivers
in the Southwest have been the Wet ms
OF pernicious state regulation AMI They
all have too large a proportion of their
capital securities In the form of bonds
or fixed interest bearing notes. The
Southwestern States have INDUCED in
railway regulation to a greater extent
than n other three States In the Union

A word to young men and women from the Jefferson
 County
 Bank

The bedrock of ev- cry successful career is SAVING.
 Practically without exception, every rich and influential man in this country attributes his success to SYS- TEMATIC and REG ULAR saving.
 In short, it may be truthfully stated that the young man WHO SAVES will succeed and the young man who DOES NOT save WILL NOT succeed.
 In inaugurating our Christmas in g s Club we feel that we place a ladder, so to speaks upon which ev- cry boy and girl and every man and woman may climb to financial independence.
 Because the busi- ness of saving, is of such vital importance, our vice. sid nt, s e n tor Frank s. White, proposes to personally give S50.0O to the boys and girls who open Christmas savings accounts at this bank. Read his generous offer repro duced on this page and OPEN YOUR AC- COUNT TODAY.

HENRY CLEWS PRAISES PRESIDENTS EFFORT
 IN BEHALF OF PEACE

Cleveland, May 13-Henry Clews, the principal speaker at this morn fng's session of the World Court Con- gress, praised President Wilson's eff fort in behalf of peace. MT. CIews said he believed universal peace. through the application of an inter- national court of Justice, would uIti- mately prevail.
 Of the present war, MT. CIews said:
 ftAftes all is said as to the causes of the war, the fact, remains that rnilitarism was its predominating mo- tive, and back of that was the per sonal ambition of certain rulers and their imme dfate following

Lift the foot forward two or three times an gentle it. As soon as the horses give in, carry the foot back ward into 8 sI1oeing position and trim the hoof.
 To handle the feet of a horse that will not stand still, or that kicks, a halter twitch is great aid. This twitch is easily applied and needs on- ly the ordinary halter. and tie rope. Pass the rope. over the horses head just behind the ears; raise the upper lip and put the rope across the, gums above the teeth; run the rope through the loop made by passing the rope over the horses head. The rope should be tight from the halter ring, over the head. under the Top, and through the loop. A few good pulls on this rope should. make the horse stand quietly.
 The frsct steps in breaking and gentIing a colt, breaking him to lead and to understand the commands of driving, etc, are also dealt with in this Farmers Bulletin No. 667, which may be had by application to the U s. Department of Agriculture.

 The menagerie has been greatly en- larged and now totals .1Q8 cages, hous- ing more than 1000 animals. many of them rare specimens never before seen in captivity.
