While everybody is familiar with the

to the effects OF lightning-stroke upoI,

Messrs L. H. Jones and w. w. Gilbert

one to three rods in diameter, or
groups of smaller spots.
Although there may be no distur-
bance OF the soil or visible rupture of
the plant tissues, the plants near the
center of the spot wilt. biacken and
Gle promptly, while those near the
margin may live days or weeks. The
injury for the most part appears first
and worst below ground. All these
facts seem to show that, after pc
riod of dry weather. the lightning dis.
charge occurring in a thundershower
spreads horizontally over the moist
surface layer of soil. The different
liability OF different species appears
to depend upon difference in tissue re-
sistence or different distribution OF
the aerial OF root systems of the plant
within the zone of the discharge.

A dodo has bee reconstructed from
bones, made as natural as possible
with feathers, and set up for exhibit

Road Is willing.


Mr.. Clark said that at a small town
on the Burlington the people had asked
for distributing building He had told
them that If they would find a suitable
place off the tracks, with the entrance
away from the tracks that the road
would be glad to arrange so that the
building could be made a distributing
point and all danger be done away with.
The building could be made of CORFU
gated iron and the cost would not be
over $50 for that size OF town. He
believed that would settle the contro-
Versy.
Mr.. Clark's talk was greeted with
considerable applause when he finished
but he was kept on his feet some time
by reason OF questions asked. HIS plan
OF a distributing building seeming to
strike responsive chord. while his
opening remarks regarding the duties
imposed on the roads by the people
seeming also have been well taken.
In the afternoon other speakers talked
on the matter, among them Railway Com
missioner Hall.

CIark's Proposal

Byron Clark, solicitor for the Burling-
ton, was given a chance to talk for
few minutes. Mr.. Clark got right down
10 the matter from the start. He wanted
the growers to understand first OF all
that the railroads We're incorporated as
transporters and not retailers.
When we have carried your products
TO the place to which they are consigned,
our duty ceases" he said. Another thing
he desired them to remember was that
the tariffs made for handling freight
were made by the people and not by the
railroads. The methods of operation are
made by statute and the railroads are
the servants of the people, operating
under laws laid down by them,
The transportation of apples" said
Mr. Clark, lis a new proposition, prac,
tically. But already the coal dealer. the
hay dealer, the shoe dealS. and other
dealers are making a demand that we ac-
cord to them the same privileges of ser
ing from the car that ywou have been
accorded nthe past. Do you not under
stand what that will mean to us Cars
tied up all along the line by men who
feel they can do business in that way.
Mr. Clark called attention to the fact
that he had very recently paid woman
1900 for injuries received while nves-
tgating fruit in an apple car Not know
In gthat the car was being used the
freight men had backed up to it to get
1t out of the way so they could secure
two other cars the other side of It and
the compact had thrown the woman from
the improvised steps of the car and
had broken her leg. II the cars of the
company are to be used for the sale of
every kind of merchandise, which would
be the case IL such a condition continued,
It would be easy to see the danger that
might come,

SUGGEST STATIONS
FOR DISTRIBUTION
Byron Clark Makes Proposal to Fruit
Men at Meeting that Makes
Hit.
ROAD WILLING TO COsoPERATE

tFrom a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Nov. 26.-CSpecial)-A mass
meeting of fruit growers was held to-
day in representative hall, to take steps
toward getting a revocation of the rule
laid down by the railroads against the
retailing OF fruit and vegetables from
freight cars at stations.
About twenty-five or thirty growers
were present. G. II. Gustafson, presi-
dent, and Mr.. Grlnnell. was made secre-
tary. Secretary Duncan OF the Horticul-
tural society, stated the object OF the
meeting. and Mr.. Gustafason said that
tho real thing wanted was free distri-
button. lie called upon T. +. Sturgiss OF
the Twentieth Century Farm of Omaha
Mr. Sturgis said, that drawing the line
between transportation and distribution
was a difficult one. Should the railway
commission hold, as the question pro-
pounded by Chairman Clarke, at the
late hearing would indicate, there would
be little relief for the railroads. He be-
lieved that the best way to do would
be to have consultation with the rep
resentatives of the roads and secure some
mutual agreement and then If that could
not be secured to might be well to fight
the rule.
DemurrRge Gives Right.
George Christy Of Nernaha believed
that as long as the shippers paid de-
murrage they should have the right to
the use of the car to sell its contents.
He said that il the railroads ruled against
the shippers the people would rise up and
legislate in such way that they would
suffer because of their ruling. Some
growers, he said, were in favor of turn
ing the apples over to the merchants
and letting them dispose of them. lie
thought that the railroads had been used
by the wholesalers and retailers as sort
of ratspaw, TO pull their chesnuts out
of the fire. However, he had found the
railroads always willing to meet him on
any reasonable proposition and he
thought they would on this one.
Mr.. Sturgiss thought that the retailers
by asking for the order had done much
TO destroy community interests.
W. ]. Norman of Blair thought there
should be a modification Of the rule.
1t ought to apply against the peddlerr the
thing that the railroads were trying to
hit when they made the rule. He said
that it was impossible to make any profit
by turning the fruit over to the re-
callers because they would not pay what
the apples were worth, and it was there
fore up to the grower to peddle the fruit.
If some rule could be made which would
allow the producer to peddle his own
stuff and cut out the middleman he
Thought the matter could be fixed up.
Carl Aldrich of Columbus wanted a
committee selected to take up the diff
ferent matters and confer with the rail-
roads.

Of course, for the street one may
not make themselves too conspic-
uous, but it is a good rule to follow
that one should never wear black ex-
cept as last resort.
It is a matter of individual taste,
but do not believe in publishing your
private grief by public mourning. So
in my case black is eliminated from
my wardrobe except when plentifully
trimmed with jet or with the intro
duction of a touch of color near the

WASTE

This little word waste" spreads a
mantle over a multitude of evil and
suffering.
The fact that crime costs the
United States one-third of the cost
of our government; that we are pay
ing more per capita for crime than
for education; that we are selling our
farms by the bushel and the ton,
taking the fertility out of the soil and
not replenishing it; that we spend
two-thirds of our time in hesitation
and another in repenting; that large
per cent of our school taxes and pri-
mary money is spent in schools
where the environments are unsani-
tary - breeders of bad health, bad
civics; an inadequate school unit;
schools with bad ventilation, tubercu-
losis-germ dust; that nurse typhoid
fever through bad water and worse
milk; that encourage smallpox cpl
denies rather than enforce vaccin-
alton; that maintain fly-breeding
nuisances, unclean and unscreened
garbage can, dump heaps, manure
piles - many of which occupy the
ground where they were first placed
or months and years, wasting their
fertilizing property while sterile
fields cry for it and often times the
mortgage takes them, mullen stocks
and bull thistles.
All these are crime-making, hun
generating, humanity weakening
wastes, declares DR.. R. L. Dixon in
Michigan's Health Bulletin.
Then there is the health-destroy-
1g hurry and worry, fret and frus-
rate wastes that sap energy,
trength; that drive many men and
7omen to the scrap-heap, to divorce,
suicide, the insane asylum.
