Willing to ObIioe.

A lady warned her new gardener
that her husband had an irritating
habit Of disparaging everything in the
greenhouse, and of ordering in a reck-
less manner new plants to be bought,
but on no account was the gardener
to humor him. Whatever he says,
throw cold water on him, or he will
ruin u with his extravagances."
At this point the new gardener
turned on her white and startled
face. "Ma'am." he said, 'if he orders
me to pitch every plant in the place
on the rubbish heap, l sha'n't ever
have the pluck to douse him with cold
water Won't it do as we'll II l get a
drain of warm water out Of the boiler
and let 1t trickle gently down his
neck?"

Marooned Fishes.

When the water of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries falls after the
annual freshets, it leaves many casual
ponds and pools. In them are held cap
tive great numbers of fishes, which
the bureau of fisheries undertakes to
rescue each year, before they are
killed by the drying up or the freezing
of the waters. During the fiscal year
1914 the bureau thus saved 100000
fishes of all species-about three times
as many as it saved the year before.
Most of the fishes it returns to the
main streams. but some it keeps for
culture in ponds or to stock waters in
other parts of the country.-Youth's
Companion.

Garden Without Weeda

Weeds should not be allowed to
grow until they are large enough to be
pulled up. Make 1t rule to go over
the garden with hoe after every
rain. as soon as the soil is nearly dry.
This will aerate the soil and keep
down weeds. Begin early in the spring
and keep 1t up all summer and you
will have no weeds.

Figures computed by the govern

ORGANIZATION OF A
RURAL COMMUNITY

DIR. T. n. Carver, adviser in rural
economics to our government, has
written on The Organization of a
Rural Community He believes that
as the city has its Chamber of Com
merce, the country should have its
community center. Moreover, in the
country each member of the organ
ization should work on some com
mittee.
Dr. Carver groups the needs of the
country into business needs" and
social needs" Under the business
group we have first. better farm pro-
duction. This is to be looked after
by a committee whose business it is
to standardize or grade the produc-
tion of the community Second, he
advises better marketing facilities.
and says four steps must precede the
selling of production. These are i'm
provement of product, standardiza-
ton. branding. and education of the
consumer.

of the pamphlet discusses all kinds
of cooperative buying, and the weak

The fifth and last is better means of

Coal Contains
Much Saccharine

Not so many people know that we
have chemical sweet made from
our common coal, or rather coal tar,
whose sweetening power is 500 times
that of ordinary sugar.
This substance has been known and
somewhat in use for more than a
quarter century. That it has not be
come more in use is claimed to be
due to the continuous fight waged
against its manufacture by the sugar
trust
AS a result of this warfare. Dr.
Wiley. head of the Pure Food depart
ment. became mixed up to an extent
that called for an investigation, and
in said investigation it was discovered
that the lamented Dr. Wiley was in
the pay of the sugar trust.
Four pounds of saccharine is repre-
sented to be equal to a full ton of
sugar in sweetening power. 1t is said
not to encourage diabetis as ordinary
sugar is accused of doing, and being
an absolute vegetable extract. is pro-
nounced not only healthful but of
medicinal merit, when used intelli-
gently. Its uses so far have been in
canned goods of various kinds and for
sweetening soft drinks. There is no
fermentation in canned fruits when
isweetened with saccharin. 1t has not
the body to be used as substitute
for sugar in pastry or cake making
1t might be possible that, while the
sugar trust was fighting saccharine
that they were using it in adulterat-
ing their sugar. giving it an extra
per cent of sweetness. The pure food
investigating board concluded that
saccharine was healthful and benefic-
ial to sick people but because of the
danger of improper handling might
be dangerous in regular use.

Outlook For Crop
And A Factory

The outlook for this seasons sugar
beet crop promises to make that of
last year look like thirty cents"
1t has already been announced that
contracts for 5000 acres will be taken
this year while only 5000 was the
limit last year
Manager Holmes, of the Grand
Junction factory was up this way last
week and is quoted on the subject of
a new factory for the Uncompahgre
valley by the Montrose Enterprise, as
follows:
Among other things he said that a
sugar factory for the Uncompahgre
valley was but a question of time and
that his company is ready to put a
factory in the valley as soon as the
time seems to be ripe. He agrees
with the theory which has already
been advanced in favor of a factory
in the Uncompahgre. that with the
building Of a high line canal in the
Grand Valley enough new land will be
brought under cultivation to supply
the Grand Junction factory with the
necessary beets, and that with the
new land being brought under irriga-
ton under the Uncompahgre valley
project we will have ample acreage
for factory in this valley.
Another thought which Mr.. Holmes
dropped while here which the sugar
consumers of this locality would dc
well to consider. and that was to the
effect that If the Grand Junction fac,
tory would be permitted to supply 50
per cent of the sugar consumed on the
western slope the company could pay
fifty cents more per ton to the beet
growers for beets and then make
more money than they do at present.
In other words there is whole lot
of sugar shipped from the east to the
western slope which could just as we'll
be supplied from the Grand Junction
factory. That is. the western slope
could use practically all Of the Grand
Junction factory output and thus save
the factory the necessity Of sending
a large part Of the output back east,
paying the freight and then being
compelled to compete with the other
factories of the land on prices"

PretentiOnS OF
The Railroads

The claims the railroads are now
making to the Interstate Commerce
Commission and to Congressional
committees is that they cannot meet
coming obligations without an in
crease of rates being allowed.
Possibly not. but does IL follow that
the people who pay the freights are
to be compelled to pay off the rail
roads mortgages?
II has been heralded to the public
time and time again. where railroad
company in building its lines or for
equipment. has mortgaged its proper
ty in sums ranging up to and above a
hundred million dollars.
Must the shippers, who are already
laboring under burdensome tariffs. be
expected TO pay off these hundreds
OF millions OF debts. whose money has
been spent. or sQuandered. or stolen
by the railroads which contracted the
debts. in increased rates?
Let the railroads that contracted
debts pay them or go to the wall. the
same as an individual must do. That
is their lookout and a part of all bust
ness experience.
II is no doubt a fact that most Of
our railroads were built upon a mush-
room system. Because. of their util-
ity II was possible to enlist capital as
well as to secure concessions. with
the result that promoters cleaned up
millions at killing. Money was bor-
rowed and long term bonds issued
without the slightest intention of the
railroad builders ever redeeming them
or OF making any attempt to do so.
That was a part Of their financiering.
But now. after the long period for
which they were issued may be near
ing close. the present stockholders
are coming to realize the burden of
debt responsibility ahead. and are
asking permission to levy aid from
the shippers in additional rate tax, to
help meet their obligations in which
the public had no part or interest.
