scenes of her childhood.
ReSt
Beautiful toiler, thy work all done.
Beautiful soul into glory gone,
Beautiful life with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest,
Rest from all SORROWS, and watching,
and fears,
Rest from all possible signing and
tears,
Rest through Gods endless and won
derful years
At home with the blest.
Beautiful spirit, free from all stain,
Over the heartache, the sorrow and
pain,
Thine is the glory and infinite gain
Thy slumber is sweet.
Peace on the brow and eyelids so
calm,
Peace on the heart, meath the white
folded palm,
Peace dropping down like a wondrous
balm
From the head to the feet.
1T was so sudden" our white lips
said,
'How we shall miss her, the beautiful
dead,
Who takes the place of the precious
one fled?
But God knowest best.
We know he watches the sparrows
that fall,
Hears the sad cry of the grieved
hearts that call,
husband, child, He loveth
them all
We can trust for the rest.

RECORD APPLE CROP.
The 1914 Yield Was Greatest in His
tory of United States.

Washington. Jan. This years ap-
pie crop was the largest ever produced
in the United States. Estimates an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture placed the 1914 yield at
259. 100000 bushels. or 114,OO0,00O more
than was produced last year.
These figures represent the actual
agricultural YIELD" the department ex-
planned. and should not be confused
with those of the commercial crop,
which comprise the marketed portion of
the total production. In 1913 the COM
mercial crop was estimated at forty
per cent CT the agricultural production.
Using the same proportion for the 1914
basis, this years commercial crop would
total 103,6O0,000 bushels. The states
leading in production of apples this
year are:
New York, 49,6OO.O0O bushels; Penn
sylvania, 23,1O00OO; Michigan II. zoe, 900;
Virginia, 15.30O,0O0; Kentucky, Il, zoe, 900:

PLAN NEW CUTOFF.
Change in Kansas Frisco Line Would
Shorten Distance to Kansas City.

Winfield, Kan, Jan 1.-With the
opening of the new year interest was
today revived in the proposed Frisco
cutoff which will connect the lines OF
this road between Beaumont, Kan,
and Olathe, Kan.
This cutoff has been surveyed and
it will cut down the mileage between
Winfield and Kansas City nearly SO
miles. The hackers claim when this
cutoff is completed that the trains
from Southern Texas and western
Oklahoma will be routed via Arkansas
City, Winfield and Olathe to Kansas
City from Enid, Okla, instead of via
Enid and Tulsa to Kansas City.
The cutoff has been pronounced as
good safe road proposition by build
ers and the high officials Of the Frisco
want to see it built.

RAILROAD news
Roads Answer Complaints of
Extra Crew Partisans.
Saw That No Accidents Caused
by Light Crews.
/. C. c. STATISTICS SHOWN
Nearly Fifteen Hundred Wrecks
Investigated by Commission.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The railroads have prepared an
answer to the extra or full crew bill
demands. The committee on relation
of railways to legislation has prepared
a statement showing that the report
that accidents have resulted from In
sufficient train crews is untrue.
Following is the argument OF those
in favor of the bill:
IAN additional brakeman is needed
on every train Of forty cars long, be-
cause under railroad regulations the
two brakemen on top of the trains
must be sent out ahead and to the
rear of the train, when 1t is stopped
between stations, to flag. This leaves
O the conductor to make repairs,
s III as E. pulled out drawhead, brok-
en- rods, etc This means a train de-
layed unnecessarily, tying up other
other man is needed on top Of the
long trains is that it yill enable more
thorough inspection Of the train while
it is running on the road, detecting
such things as dragging brakebeams,
broken rocs, loose car doors. defective
couplers. ETC., any Of which. if not no
ticed in time, are liable to cause
wrecks, resulting in the destruction of
property, loss of life and delayed traf-
fic. Another man is needed in order
to enable the rear of the train to
transmit signals to the engine. When
train is more than forty cars in
length, it is impossible to signal from
the engine to the caboose. especially
in going around a curve, or in stormy
weather."
The railway companies make an
swer that a due and proper regard for
safety is always most zealously OBJ
served and that the officers do every
thing in their power to promote that
end and If this proposed law were
beneficial they would not oppose it.
The railroads present statistics
gathered by the interstate commerce
commission in their exhaustive in
quiry from 1,431 train accidents and

causes of these accidents follows:
